Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable only a specified sample article to be fitted and other articles to be displayed as samples by providing arcuate lock holes to an article receiving plate and then providing a nearly U-shaped projection to the lower part of each sample article. CONSTITUTION:An article receiving plate 15 is arranged at the lower part of an article display chamber 3 and fixed to an article display plate 16. Lock holes 17 are bored in the article receiving plate 15 concentrically on plural arcs. The nearly U-shaped projection pieces 19 are provided to the sample articles 18. The nearly U-shaped projection piece 19 at the lower part of the sample article 18 to be displayed is set in an optional arcuate lock hole of the article receiving plate 15 and rotated to clamp the nearly U-shaped projection piece 19 of the sample article 19 by the end of the arcuate lock hole 17.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for displaying sample products in a vending machine.

Conventional technology In recent years, in order to increase the sales efficiency of vending machine contents manufacturers, as a way to suppress the display and sales of sample products of other manufacturers, there has been a demand for structures that do not allow the display of sample products of other manufacturers, and low prices. Therefore, the question is how simple a structure can be made. An example of the above-mentioned sample product display device for a vending machine will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, 1 is the main body of the vending machine, and a door 2 is provided on the front side of the main body. A product display room 3 is provided in the layer 2, and a product selection switch 4 and a coin slot 5 are formed at the bottom. Further, a coin return port 6 and a product take-out lower are provided at the bottom. On the shaft-supporting back surface of the layer 2, there is an inner door 9 rotatably supported by an inner door mounting hinge 8. A display product mounting plate 10 is fixed to the front surface of the inner door 9 along the inner door, and a display product mounting bracket 11 having an arc-shaped arm 11a is fixed to the front surface of the inner door 9.
are fixed in parallel with screws 11', and the mounting bracket 1
By wrapping a sample product 12 around 1, it was possible to display the product.

A lighting lamp 13 is provided to illuminate the product exhibition room 3. On the front side, there is an illuminated board 14 having a transparent window section, which constitutes an exhibition section.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In such a conventional product display structure, since the sample product 12 can be easily replaced, sample products from other manufacturers can also be easily attached.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention prevents sample products from being easily replaced and improves the appearance of the sample products (a device for holding sample products that can be displayed and easily attached to sample products of different sizes). It provides:

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the sample product display device of the present invention includes a product receiving plate disposed at the bottom of the product display room, which is provided with arcuate locking holes located on concentric circles. , a sample product having a substantially U-shaped protruding piece on the lower part that engages with this arcuate engagement hole.

Function The present invention has the above-described configuration, which not only makes it possible to attach only the designated sample product, but also makes it impossible to display samples of other products (even if the designated sample products are different in size, No tools are required, and the sample product can be easily attached and detached by simply rotating and locking it.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, a sample product display device for a vending machine according to an example of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.
Components that are the same as those of the conventional example are given the same numbers, and detailed explanation thereof will be omitted.

In the figure, reference numeral 15 denotes a product receiving plate, which is disposed at the lower part of the product display room 3 and is fixed to the product display board 16. Product receiving plate 1
5 has a plurality of arcuate locking holes 17 arranged concentrically at a plurality of locations. 18 is a sample product, and a plurality of substantially U-shaped protruding pieces 19 are provided at the bottom thereof.

The operation of the sample product display device configured as described above will be explained below with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2.

When the approximately U-shaped protruding piece 19 at the bottom of the sample product 18 to be displayed is aligned with the arc-shaped locking hole at any location on the product receiving plate 15 and rotated, the end of the arc-shaped locking hole 17 will be aligned with the sample. It is clamped onto the substantially U-shaped protruding piece 19 of the product 19. With the structure described above, specified sample products can be easily attached and detached without tools.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention provides an arc-shaped locking hole in the product receiving plate and a substantially U-shaped protruding piece at the bottom of the sample product.
When displaying sample products, only the designated sample product can be installed, and it is not possible to display samples of other products.

In addition, since the designated sample product is rotated and clamped, no tools are required for attachment and detachment, which can be easily done with a single touch. Even if the size is different, it can be accommodated, and it has become possible to provide a more effective display of sample products.
