CONSTITUTION:In the advertising plate 11 formed with the transparent material, the pattern 12 out of all patterns 12 and 13 printed and displayed is printed with light transmissive ink at the back plane, and another part is left as a transparent part, and also, the pattern 13 is printed with light shielding ink at the front plane, and the part corresponding to the part of the pattern 12 at the back plane is printed leaving as transparent. Therefore, light transmitting the inside of the advertising plate 11 can be projected forward from between the pattern 13 printed at the front plane and the part of the pattern 12 printed at the back plane by illuminating the advertising plate 11 from the back side by the illuminator. Thereby, a stereoscopic visual sense can be given to the customer.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (b) Industrial application fields The present invention relates to a display device for a vending machine.

(B) Conventional technology Conventionally, an exhibition room was formed on the front of the main unit, the front of which was covered with a transparent panel, and product samples were displayed in the exhibition room, and logos related to sales promotion were placed on the front of the rear wall of the exhibition room. 2. Description of the Related Art There is a known display device for a vending machine that is provided with an advertising board printed with a landscape, a pattern, or a pattern of products for sale, as disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 146282/1982.

In this type of exhibition room, lighting devices such as fluorescent lights are installed to illuminate product samples and advertising boards.

Recently, there has also been an exhibition device in which a product sample is formed into a hollow shape using a light-transmitting material, and the product sample is illuminated from inside so that the product sample itself emits bright light. It is disclosed in the publication No.

(C) Problems to be Solved by the Invention The advertising board in the conventional display device of a vending machine is illuminated from the front by a lighting device placed at the top of the exhibition room or by a lighting device that illuminates product samples. However, the display was generally flat and did not have the effect of attracting customers' attention.

In addition, if the above-mentioned light-emitting type product samples are installed in the exhibition room, the balance between the billboard and the lighting in the exhibition room and the lighting of the product samples will be easily lost, and only the product samples will stand out, making the billboard more appealing. A problem arises in which the value decreases significantly.

In view of the above, the present invention can provide customers with a three-dimensional vision and give them a unique impression that has not been seen before, and even when displaying luminous type product samples, the display on the billboard can To provide a display device for a vending machine that can display product samples in a well-balanced manner.

(d) Means for Solving the Problems The present invention forms an exhibition room on the front surface of the main body covered with a transparent panel, exhibits product samples in the exhibition room, and prints on the front of the rear wall of the exhibition room. In a display device for a vending machine, which is equipped with an advertising board, the advertising board is made of a transparent material, and the pattern to be printed is divided and printed on the front and back sides of the advertising board. In addition, the front pattern is printed with light-shielding printing, the back pattern is printed with light-transmissive printing, and a lighting device is provided on the back side of the advertising board.

(e) Effect The present invention with such a configuration is such that an advertising board formed of a transparent material has a predetermined pattern portion of the entire pattern displayed on the advertising board, excluding the pattern portion printed on the back side. is printed on the front side, and the pattern part excluding the pattern part printed on the front side is printed on the back side, so that the pattern part printed on the back side can be seen on the front side through the unprinted part on the front side. A pattern is printed separately on the front and back sides, the front pattern is printed with light-shielding printing, the back pattern is printed with light-transmitting printing, and the back side of the billboard is illuminated by an illumination device. With this illumination, light that has passed through the inside of the billboard is irradiated forward from between the pattern portion printed on the front and the pattern portion printed on the back.

(F) Embodiments Each figure shows an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 is a vertical sectional side view of the exhibition room, Figure 2 is an explanatory diagram of printing of a billboard, and Figure 3 is an advertisement of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a vending machine with a plate installed therein.

1 is the main body of the vending machine, and the front side is provided with an exhibition room 3 whose front surface is covered with a transparent panel 2, and a large number of product selection buttons 4 formed of light-transmissive members arranged side by side. An input slot 5 into which cards, coins, banknotes, etc. are inserted;
and a product outlet 6.

The display base 7 has an opening lower A on the top surface for mounting a product sample 8, and also has the product selection button 4 on the front surface exposed on the front surface of the transparent panel 2, and further has an opening lower A. A light-transmissive display section 9 with indications such as "warm" and "cold" is provided on the top surface that slopes downward to the front, and is made of a material that does not transmit light. It forms a box shape extending in the left and right direction.

A fluorescent lamp 10 serving as an illumination device is disposed within this display base 7, and the fluorescent lamp 10 illuminates the product sample 8 from inside through each opening lower A, and also illuminates the display section 9 and the product. The selection button 4 is illuminated.

The opening lower A has a plurality of open openings arranged in parallel corresponding to the respective product selection buttons 4, and allows the lower part of the product sample 8 to be attached thereto.

Product sample 8 has a hollow cylindrical shape with an open bottom and a closed top, and is made of a light-transmitting member, with light-transparent printing applied to the outer peripheral surface.

By attaching the bottom part to the opening lower A of the display base 7, the light from the fluorescent lamp 10 illuminates the inside of the product sample 8 through the opening lower A.

11 is a product sample 8 that forms the rear wall of the exhibition room 3.
It is an advertising board that is placed at the back of the screen and displays printed patterns such as logos, landscapes, patterns, and sales products related to product sales promotion, and is made of a transparent acrylic board or transparent glass board. With the material of 2~
A plate having a thickness of about 8 mm is formed.

As shown in FIG. 2, the advertising board 11 has the pattern 12 printed on the back side with light-transmissive ink among all the patterns 12 and 13 to be printed and displayed, leaving the other parts transparent, and the front side A pattern 13 is printed on the back using light-shielding ink, and a portion corresponding to the pattern 12 printed on the back side is left transparent.

That is, out of all the patterns 12.13 to be printed and displayed, 13 parts of the predetermined pattern excluding the 12 parts to be printed on the back are printed on the front, and 12 parts of the pattern excluding the 13 parts to be printed on the front are printed on the back. The pattern to be printed is divided into the front and back so that the pattern 12 printed on the back can be seen through the unprinted part on the front, and the pattern 13 on the front is printed separately. Light-shielding printing is applied, and the pattern 12 on the back surface is printed with light-transmitting printing.

In addition, the light shielding property according to the present invention is sufficient as long as the light transmittance is in the range of about 50% to 0%, and the
Alternatively, the illuminance of the fluorescent lamp 14 as a lighting device provided on the back side of the advertising board 11, the illuminance of the fluorescent lamp 10 illuminating the product sample 8, and the illuminance of the fluorescent lamp 14 as a lighting device provided in the upper part of the exhibition room 3. Depending on the illuminance of the light lamp 15, etc., it is possible to set appropriate light shielding properties. That is, the degree of light shielding may be set depending on the brightness of the area around which the vending machine is installed or the illuminance of each fluorescent light. The pattern is made to be less transparent than the light-transmitting pattern 12 to be printed.

In addition, the light-shielding printing on the front surface of the advertising board 11 is performed by first applying light-shielding printing such as black, then applying colored printing such as white on top of this light-shielding printing, and then printing a designated color on top of that.
It is possible to perform light-shielding printing that has high light-shielding properties and can produce specified colors clearly.

Therefore, if you want to lower the light-shielding property, you can either change the color of the ink used for light-shielding printing to a brighter one, or do not do light-shielding printing and use relatively dark colored printing. You can set the level of sexuality.

On the other hand, a fluorescent lamp 14 serving as an illumination device is installed on the back side of the advertising board 11 in correspondence with a light-transmitting pattern 12 printed on the back side. In addition, the partition wall 1 where fluorescent lights 14 are installed
The front surface of the advertising board 11 is coated with a reflective coating such as white so that the light from the fluorescent lamp 14 is reflected onto the back surface of the advertising board 11.

Further, a fluorescent lamp 15 as a lighting device is provided at the upper part of the exhibition room 3, and a milky-white light-transmitting cover panel 17 is provided between the fluorescent lamp 15 and the exhibition room 3. 3 and the front of the advertising board 11 are illuminated.

Therefore, the pattern 13 on the front side of the advertising board 11 is illuminated by the light from the product sample 8 and the light from the cover panel 17, and the pattern 13 on the back side is illuminated by the fluorescent lamps 14. As a result, the pattern 12 printed on the back of the advertising board 11 appears brighter than the pattern 13 printed on the front, and the light from the fluorescent lamps 14 can be seen from the transparent part around the outer periphery of the pattern 12 printed on the back. It leaks forward through the unprinted transparent part on the front, as if the pattern 12 on the back
It is possible to give the impression that the outer periphery of the screen emits gleaming light, and it also gives a three-dimensional vision.

That is, the pattern 12 on the front side and the pattern 13 on the back side of the advertising board 11 are the same as the pattern 1 when viewed directly from the front side of the advertising board 11.
2 and the pattern 13 are combined without any gaps to form a pattern, but since the advertising board 11 has a predetermined thickness, when viewed from a position slightly oblique to the front of the advertising board 11. In this case, a slight misalignment occurs between the pattern 13 on the front and the pattern 12 on the back, and strong light leaks forward from this misaligned portion.

In order to positively form this misalignment, the pattern 12 on the back side may be formed slightly smaller so that a transparent part is formed between it and the pattern 13 on the front side (g) of the invention. Effects Since the present invention is configured as described above, the display on the billboard can give the customer a fresh vision full of three-dimensional effect and give a unique impression that has not been seen before. Even when samples are installed, the effect is that the advertising board and the product samples can be promoted in a well-balanced manner.
