A display room 9 is configured. A discharge port 11 and a suction port 12 are formed at the upper and lower edges of the front opening of the product display chamber 9 (showcase body 6) and communicate with the duct 8, and a cooler 13 of a cooling device (not shown) is provided in the duct 8. And a blower 14 are disposed.

  On the other hand, product display shelves 2... (In the embodiment, 6 levels) for displaying a plurality of upper and lower stages of products G are installed in the product display room 9, and a cylindrical aluminum can is placed on each product display shelf 2. A product G such as a beverage, a steel can beverage, a beverage in a plastic bottle or the like is placed and displayed. Each product display shelf 2 is constructed so that the front side is inclined at a low angle, and as a result, when the foremost product G is taken out, the product G in the rear of the row sequentially moves forward. Yes. In FIG. 1, the product G is illustrated as a plastic bottle. Hereinafter, the commodity display shelf 2 is referred to as a shelf 2.

  Each shelf 2... Is configured to be detachable by engagement between a bracket 16 and a post (not shown) in order to change the number of shelves and the interval between the shelves 2. Each of the shelves 2... Has a slide structure that can be pulled forward, and is held in the product display chamber 9 as shown in FIG. 1 and pulled out from the front opening to the near side (not shown). ) And can be held.

  When the product G is replenished, each shelf 2... Is pulled out from the front opening to the near side, and the product G is replenished from the back side of the shelf 2. As a result, the product G, which is located on the front side of each shelf 2... And is cooled (or heated) to a predetermined temperature in the product display chamber 9, can be always provided to the customer. That is, the product G cooled to a predetermined temperature in the product display room 9 is positioned on the front side of the shelf 2 so that the customer can easily take it out, and the product G that has not been cooled yet is refilled. It is configured so that it can be loaded.

  On the other hand, when the product G is replenished to the shelf 2, conventionally, the shelf 2 lacking any product G is pulled out from the front opening to the near side. Then, one product (or two or three) of products G arranged in a cardboard box (not shown) is taken out by hand and loaded on the back side of the products G displayed on the shelf 2, and the cardboard The operation of taking one product G out of the box and loading it into the back side of the product G displayed on the shelf 2 was repeated.

  Therefore, a product display device 20 according to the present invention that can load a plurality of products G at the back of the product G displayed on the shelf 2 will be described with reference to FIG. The product G will be described as a cylindrical steel can or an aluminum can filled with drinking water such as coffee or tea juice. This product G (can) is formed with a constricted portion GK (shown in FIG. 3) in the vicinity of one end surface side (drinking side) (slightly other end surface side than one end surface side) when the product G is manufactured. 20 is configured to hold the constricted portion GK.

  That is, the product display device 20 is configured to be able to hold three products G at the same time as shown in FIGS. Specifically, the product display device 20 is configured to be elastically deformed and engageable with the constricted portion GK of the product G when the product display device 20 is pressed from above the product G. Further, the product display device 20 is made of a transparent polycarbonate resin having a hardness that makes it difficult to open between the product holding portions 30 facing each other due to the weight of the product G, and having excellent wear resistance (the transparent material of the present invention). Equivalent).

  Here, when one or two products G are held between the product holding units 30 in the product display device 20, the number of products G is small and the merit of using the product display device 20 is small. Further, when the number of products G increases to 3 or more (4 to 6), the product display device 20 holding the products G of those numbers becomes heavy, and handling becomes difficult. In addition, when the number of products G that can be loaded into the back side of the shelf 2 is small, if the size is such that a large number of products G can be held on the product display device 20, the size is too large due to the relationship with the depth dimension of the shelf 2. Use of the display device 20 becomes difficult. For this reason, since it seems appropriate to hold three products G in the product display device 20, in the embodiment, the number of products G that can be held in the product display device 20 is three.

  As shown in FIGS. 4, 5, 6, and 7, the commodity display device 20 is provided with a main body 22 that is vertically long and substantially rectangular, and is provided on both sides of the main body 22 in the longitudinal direction. 22 is composed of a pair of product alignment walls 26 that are continuously provided on the wall 22. The merchandise display device 20 is formed of an elastic member having elasticity (for example, transparent polycarbonate resin) with a thickness of about 2 mm, and the main body 22 and the two merchandise alignment walls 26 are integrally formed. Specifically, for example, the length of the main body 22 is about 160 mm, which is about three times the diameter of the product G, the width (inner method) is about 55 mm slightly wider than the diameter of the product G, and the thickness is about 2 mm. Is formed. The product alignment wall 26 will be described later.

  Product holding portions 30 are respectively provided in the longitudinal direction in the upper portions of the inner surfaces of the two product alignment walls 26 facing each other, and both the product holding portions 30 are formed at positions facing each other, and Projecting to a predetermined dimension (approximately 1.5 mm). Further, the surface (upper surface) of the both product holding portions 30 on the main body 22 side is a plane substantially parallel to the main body 22, and the opposite surface (lower surface) is directed away from the main body 22 (downward). Gradually, the product alignment wall 26 is gradually inclined toward the surface. That is, the product holding unit 30 protrudes from the product alignment wall 26 by a predetermined size, and the main body 22 side is closer to the product alignment wall 26 as the plane parallel to the main body 22 and the side opposite to the main body 22 are separated from the main body 22. It is an inclined surface.

  The product holding section 30 is configured to be insertable into the constricted portion GK of the product G, and in the state where both the product holding sections 30 are engaged with the constricted portion GK of the product G, The product G can be moved smoothly. Then, one end face side (upper side) of the product G is inserted between the product holding parts 30 of the product display device 20, that is, the product display device 20 is put on the product G from above, and the product display device 20 is pressed against the product G As a result, the product G is engaged and held between the product holding units 30 without being caught while being guided by the lower inclined surface of the product holding unit 30 (in this case, the constricted portion GK of the product G is engaged and held). ).

  That is, both the product holding parts 30 are formed to be engageable with the constricted part GK of the product G. Then, in a state where the product holding unit 30 is engaged with the constricted part GK of the product G, the product holding unit 30 (in this case, the flat portion on the main body 22 side of the product holding unit 30) is connected to the product G (constricted unit GK). Both the product holding parts 30 are configured in a shape and dimensions that are surely caught and the product G does not come off in the direction away from the main body 22. When the product holding part 30 is engaged with the product G, the product G is inserted into the both product holding parts 30 from one longitudinal end of the both product holding parts 30 (opposite the stopper 34) (the constricted part GK is inserted). ).

  On the other hand, a projection 24 that protrudes a predetermined dimension (about 0.2 mm to 0.3 mm) in the same direction as the extending direction of the product alignment wall 26 is provided in the substantially center of the main body 22. The protrusion 24 is separated from the protrusion 24 and the one end surface side (the mouth side) of the product G by a predetermined dimension (about 0.2 to 0.5 mm) in a state where the product G is engaged and held in the product holding unit 30. ing. When the constricted portion GK of the product G is inserted into or removed from the product holding unit 30 from one end in the longitudinal direction of the main body 22, the protrusion 24 is rubbed against the transparent main body 22 and the transparency is impaired. Is to prevent. Further, when the constricted portion GK of the product G is inserted into the product holding unit 30 from one end in the longitudinal direction of the main body 22, it is prevented that the product G comes into contact with the main body 22 and becomes heavy and difficult to insert. .

  Further, the main body 22 is provided with a stopper 34 for preventing the product G engaged with the product holding unit 30 from dropping from one side of the main body 22. The stopper 34 is made of an elastic member (synthetic resin) having a diameter of about 3 to 5 mm that does not easily break even when the product G abuts. The product G is engaged with the product holding portion 30. In the state, it is configured with a length (about 5 mm to 10 mm) with which the product G abuts. That is, the stopper 34 is configured to prevent the product G from moving and dropping off from the product holding unit 30 while the product G is engaged with the product holding unit 30. Reference numeral 34A denotes a fixing tool for fixing the stopper 34 (part number shown in FIG. 5 only).

  The stopper 34 is provided in the vicinity of the corner on one side of the main body 22 (lower left side in FIG. 4). The stopper 34 is provided so that the periphery of the product G abuts when the peripheral portion of the product G is positioned at the end of the main body 22 in a state where the product G is engaged with the product holding unit 30. Specifically, the stopper 34 is in a state where the product G is engaged with the product holding unit 30 and the product G is aligned with the longitudinal end of the main body 22 or is slightly protruded or slightly recessed. It is provided at a position to stop at.

  In this case, the product display device 20 that holds the three products G at the same time hardly protrudes in both longitudinal directions of the main body 22. Thereby, it is comprised so that the suitable workability | operativity and carrying property of the merchandise display tool 20 can be acquired. The product G engaged and held between the product holding units 30 can be easily removed from the product holding unit 30 simply by moving the product display device 20 in the direction opposite to the stopper 34. It is configured to be able to.

  Further, the end face of the product alignment wall 26 has a saw blade shape as shown in FIGS. 8, 9, and 10, and a product alignment portion 28 is formed there. The product aligning portion 28 has a crest portion 28A in which a plurality of locations of the product aligning wall 26 are separated from the main body 22 by a predetermined dimension (about 27 mm), and a close proximity of the crest portion 28A to the main body 22 side at three locations (approximately from the main body. 13 mm) and a valley portion 28B. That is, the product alignment section 28 is inclined obliquely toward the main body 22 side from the peak portion 28A where one side of the product alignment wall 26 is separated from the main body 22 by a predetermined dimension toward the other side of the product alignment wall 26. It is close.

  Then, at the location reaching the valley portion 28B of the product alignment wall 26 of a predetermined dimension, this time, the blade 22 is inclined and separated from the main body 22, and at the location reaching the peak portion 28A, one saw blade shape is formed. Three parts are formed from one side of the product alignment wall 26 to the other side. The sawtooth-shaped peak portion 28A and the adjacent peak portion 28A are formed to have the same dimensions as the diameter of the product G (can). The product alignment portion 28 has a valley portion 28B formed in the middle between the peak portion 28A and the adjacent peak portion 28A, and the size of the valley portion 28B adjacent to the valley portion 28B is also configured to be the same as the diameter of the product G. Yes. Moreover, the product alignment wall 26 (product alignment part 28) is not limited to a saw blade shape, and may be a wave shape.

  Next, a usage example of the commodity display device 20 will be described with the above configuration. It is assumed that the product G displayed in the showcase 1 is sold, the product G on any shelf 2 is insufficient, and the product G is loaded on the shelf 2. Further, it is assumed that the products G are arranged vertically and horizontally and stored in a plurality (1-2 dozen) cardboard boxes. First, as shown in FIG. 11, the product display device 20 is held by hand with both product alignment walls 26 facing down (product G side). Specifically, the product display 20 is held by hand so that the main body 22 is positioned on the upper side and the product holding unit 30 is positioned on the lower side.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 12, the product display device 20 is positioned substantially directly above the product G, and when the three products G are visible through the main body 22 downward, The product G is pressed from the drinking mouth side (arrow in FIG. 12). At this time, since the main body 22 (product display device 20) is made of a transparent polycarbonate resin, the product G can be easily seen through the main body 22. Accordingly, the product G can be easily positioned between the two product alignment walls 26, and the product G can be engaged and held between the two product alignment walls 26 (FIG. 13).

  Since the product display device 20 is composed of an elastic member, the product holding unit 30 comes into contact with the product G and is elastically deformed and expanded by pressing the product display device 20 against the product G from above. At this time, the merchandise display device 20 warps on the opposite side of the merchandise holding portion 30 with the substantially central portion of the main body 22 as a fulcrum. As a result, the two product alignment walls 26 are separated from each other, and the product holding unit 30 is once opened to the full shape of the product G. Since the product display device 20 is pressed against the product G from above, both of the expanded product holding portions 30 are elastically restored at the place where the product G is inserted up to the constricted portion GK, and the product G is returned to the product holding portion 30. Are engaged.

  Moreover, since both the product holding | maintenance parts 30 form the inclined surface in the direction which expands the separation | spacing side of the main body 22, the product holding | maintenance part 30 only presses the product display tool 20 against the goods G from upper direction with light force. Can be engaged with the constricted portion GK. Further, the product display tool 20 has a lower stopper 34 side because the product G does not easily fall off from the product display tool 20 if the longitudinal stopper 34 side is made lower than the attractive force and the opposite side is made higher. . That is, the product G held in the product holding part 30 falls off from the opposite side of the stopper 34 by holding the product display device 20 with the stopper 34 at the front side and the front side lowered. It is preventing. Thereby, the product G can be reliably and stably held on the product display device 20 and can be easily carried.

  Then, the shelf 2 in which the product G is insufficient is pulled out from the front opening of the showcase 1 to the front side, and the product display device 20 holding the product G is positioned behind the product G displayed on the shelf 2. Let Next, the product display tool 20 is pulled to the near side in a state where the bottom of the product G is slightly lifted from the shelf 2 (a state where the product G is lifted from the length of the stopper 34) (arrow in FIG. 14). As a result, the stopper 34 protruding from the main body 22 toward the product alignment wall 26 is displayed on the shelf 2, and the product display 20 (product holding unit 30) is placed on the product without being caught by the product G that is not yet sold. It can be removed from G (neck portion GK).

  This is repeated, and an insufficient quantity of products G is loaded on the shelf 2. Then, after a plurality of products G are loaded on the shelf 2 with the product display device 20, there are fewer products G (in this case, 1 to 2) on the shelf 2 than the quantity that can be held by the product display device 20. The product G for the shortage quantity is loaded by hand. If there is still a space in the back of the product G loaded on the shelf 2 that can be loaded with one or two products G, leave the space as it is and load one by one by hand. There is no problem. Further, after the commodity G is loaded on the shelf 2, the pulled-out shelf 2 is returned to the original position.

  On the other hand, the product arranging unit 28 is configured to display a product display device even when a plurality of products G stored in a cardboard box are not aligned and stored (when a plurality of products G are stored in a staggered manner). Reference numeral 20 is configured so that these unaligned products G can be easily held. That is, when the product G stored in the cardboard is slightly shifted in the left-right direction or the front-rear direction, the product G is transmitted through the main body 22 of the product holding unit 30 and the lower side is visually recognized. 22 so as to enter the lower side.

  That is, since the plurality of products G are slightly shifted in the orthogonal direction from the longitudinal direction of the main body 22, one of the products G (the upper one in the drawing in the embodiment) is placed at the center of the main body 22. The main body 22 is positioned so that the other two commodities G protrude right and left substantially equally (FIG. 16). At this time, the amount of the product G protruding from the main body 22 is about 1/4 of the diameter of the product G, preferably within 1/5. In this state, the product display 20 is pressed against the product G from above (arrow in FIG. 15). Although one product G that is slightly shifted in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the main body 22 is positioned at the center of the main body 22 (the upper one in FIG. 16), the product G that is positioned at the center of the main body 22 Can be centered on any of the three. At this time, the amount of the other two protruding from the main body 22 (the product alignment wall 26) is about ¼, preferably within ５ of the diameter of the product G.

  Thereby, the commodity G protruding from the main body 22 is located between the mountain portion 28A and the mountain portion 28A. When the product display tool 20 is pressed against the product G from above, the product G moves in the direction of the valley portion 28 </ b> B and moves in the central direction of the main body 22. That is, one end surface of the cylindrical product G has a circular shape, and when the periphery of the product G comes into contact with the inclined surfaces of the peak portion 28A and the valley portion 28B and moves toward the valley portion 28B, the product G It is drawn into the lower surface of the main body 22 by the inclined surfaces on both sides of the portion 28B.

  As a result, the products G protruding from the main body 22 move inward (arrows in FIG. 16), are aligned in a row, and fit between the two product alignment walls 26. When the product display device 20 is further pressed against the product G from above, the two product alignment walls 26 as described above are separated from each other and elastically return when the product holding part 30 is inserted to the constricted part GK of the product G. Thus, the product G is engaged and held by the product holding unit 30. That is, the plurality of products G that are slightly shifted in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the main body 22 are engaged and held by the product holding unit 30 and held by the product display device 20 (FIG. 17).

  After the product G is engaged and held on the product display device 20, the shelf 2 in which the product G is insufficient is pulled out from the front opening of the showcase 1 and displayed on the shelf 2 as described above. The product G is loaded on the back side of the product G. After the product G is loaded on the shelf 2, the pulled-out shelf 2 is returned to the original state as described above.

  As described above, the interval between the two product holding units 30 is such that the product G is removably engaged with the product G to hold the product G, and the product G is engaged with the product G in the longitudinal direction. The size of the product G can be moved. In addition, the longitudinal dimension of each product holding unit 30 allows a plurality of products G to be aligned in a row and can be engaged with and released from the product G from one end in the longitudinal direction (opposite the stopper 34). It is configured.

  Thus, when the product G is loaded into the shelf 2 provided in the product display chamber 9 of the showcase 1, the product G is engaged and held in the product display tool 20 (the product holding unit 30). It can be inserted into the display chamber 9. Further, the product G held on the product display device 20 is positioned on the back side of the product G displayed on the shelf 2, and in this state, on the other end side in the longitudinal direction of the product display device 20 (opposite to the stopper 34). If the product display device 20 is moved, a plurality of products G can be loaded at a time in the product display room 9 (shelf 2) in a line.

  In addition, since the stopper 34 is provided at one end of the main body 22, the inconvenience that the product G falls off from the other end side of the product display device 20 during the loading into the product display chamber 9. Can be prevented.

  Moreover, since both the product holding | maintenance parts 30 are comprised so that it can engage with the goods G (constriction part GK) by pressing from the one end surface side of the goods G by elasticity (elasticity of the goods display tool 20), By simply pressing the product display tool 20 against the product G from above with one end surface side (the constricted portion GK side) of the product G as the upper side, the two product holding units 30 can be separated from each other. Thereby, a plurality of products G can be engaged and held in the product holding unit 30 at a time.

  Moreover, since the product display tool 20 is made of a transparent material, the product G can be seen through from the opposite surface of the main body 22 when the product display tool 20 is pressed against the product G from above. As a result, the product G can be easily positioned on the product holding unit 30. Therefore, the positioning workability of the product G to the product holding unit 30 can be greatly improved, and the product G loading operation to the shelf 2 in the product display chamber 9 can be performed in a very short time and quickly. As a result, the convenience of the commodity display device 20 can be greatly improved.

  Also, a product alignment wall 26 having a saw blade shape descending from the main body 22 is provided on the side of the main body 22 that is outside the product holding section 30, and the product G is arranged in close contact with each product alignment wall 26. It is set as the thickness dimension which can approach between the adjacent goods G in the state. Thereby, even if the product G is not aligned, if the product alignment wall 26 (mountain portion 28A) is pressed and inserted between the products G from above, the saw blade-shaped inclined surface (from the peak portion 28A) is inserted. The inclined surface to the valley portion 28B makes it possible to draw the products G between the two product holding portions 30 below the main body 22 and align them. Therefore, the workability of loading the product G into the both product holding units 30 can be greatly improved.
