Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a rental display board device that can automatically display rental display for each storage section of a storage shelf that stores video tapes and radio cassette tapes.

Recently, the video rental business has become extremely popular. This period was due to the development of televisions and VCRs in the home. Not only TVs but also VCRs are now common, with each household having at least one. For this reason, each of them has become popular at the same rate as television. This has made it possible for each person to play back and watch the videotapes they recorded on their televisions at a later date. Under these circumstances, the video rental industry, which is a business that rents out videotapes of movies and other theatrical productions that cannot be easily viewed on regular television, has emerged. That's why.

If you look around the inside of the video rental business, you will see that there are separate storage sections in each corner of the videotape shelves, and each corner stores videotapes of various theatrical productions. and from the videotape,
Pull out the videotape you want to watch from its storage compartment and hand it to the clerk.

There, a lending/borrowing relationship is established, and the videotape is lent to the customer after completing procedures such as the videotape lending period and rental fee.

From the store's point of view, the storage space is now empty because the video tapes have been lent out. However, in the case of mere display or no display, it is difficult to tell at a glance what kind of videotape was contained. Furthermore, even when a customer comes to the store to return a videotape, even the store staff has to check where the videotape was stored and match the number and title on a ledger, etc., so that it can be returned to its original storage location. I end up in a situation where I can't do it. This type of ledger research requires a great deal of effort on the part of store clerks, and it must be said that it is completely inefficient.

The device of the present application was proposed to eliminate such inefficient work.

The device according to the present invention is a rental display board that automatically indicates that a videotape is being rented out when it is pulled out of a storage shelf in the various ways illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 27.

b) Figures 1 and 2 show commonly used video tape storage shelves. This storage shelf is the most basic one, and rental display boards using various methods are installed here.

b) In the drawings shown in Figures 3, 4, 5, and 6, when a video tape is stored in the storage shelf 11, the display board 12 indicating which video tapes are on loan will naturally rest on top of the video tape cassette. Also, when this cassette is pulled out, the display board 12 hangs down, indicating that the cassette is being rented out.

13 of the 12 display boards is made of plant-based, animal-based, or synthetic resin cloth that can be bent freely and is attached with adhesive to each storage section at the tip of the shelf board storage section of the 11 storage shelf. If 13 is made of magic cloth, or if the storage shelf is made of iron, the display board 12 can be attached and removed freely by using a metal magnet as the adhesive surface of the cloth. 1
4 is transparent paper, 15 is a nameplate for rental display,
There is also a method that allows you to freely submit it.

c) In Figures 7 and 8, when a videotape cassette is inserted into the storage compartment of the storage shelf 21, the display board 22 will be under the cassette and will be able to turn sideways, but when the cassette is pulled out, Due to the action of the weight 23, the display board 22 stands vertically.

d) Figures 9 and 10 show the display board 32 on the tip of the storage shelf of the storage shelf 31 with the spring 33. For example, when the video is pulled out, the display board 32 will be attached to the tip of the shelf board. It will hang vertically.

e) Figures 11 and 12 are door-like,
When a video cassette is inserted, the display board 42 is pushed into the housing, and when the cassette is pulled out, it is displayed vertically by the spring 43.

F) In FIGS. 13 and 14, when the cassette is pulled out by the spring mechanism 53, the display board 52 stands vertically in front.

g) In Figures 15 and 16, due to the arm 63 and the ring 65, when the cassette is inserted, the display board 62 goes inside with the arm 63 shrinking, and when the cassette is pulled out, the gravity of the arm 63 The arm itself will now extend horizontally, and the display board 62 will come out to the front.

h) Figures 17 and 18 apply the principle of a pendulum. When the cassette is inserted, the pendulum on the display board 72 will be pushed outward from the back side, and when the cassette is pulled out, it will move forward and be displayed on the pendulum principle.

l) Figures 19 and 20 show a device that uses a pulley and a weight. When the cassette is inserted, the display board 82 moves backwards and the weight rises, but when the cassette is pulled out, the gravity of the weight causes the display board 82 to come out to the front.

n) Figures 21 and 22 show the display board 9 at the rear of the storage compartment.
2 has been pasted. The material of paper or cloth is vegetable-based.
In addition to display boards made of animal or synthetic resin materials and pasted with adhesive, magic cloth and storage shelves in 91 are made of iron, and iron magnets are placed on the back of the display board in 92. If you keep it in place, you can attach and remove the 92 display board as you like.

23 and 24, if a hole is made in the back plate of the storage shelf 101, the display board 103 can be hung or removed freely there.

e) Figures 25, 26, and 27 can be made possible by setting the 113 arm to the existing one.
