Abstract

PURPOSE:To fit only a specified sample article and to prevent other articles from being displayed by providing a light transmission hole and an arcuate lock hole concentrically in an article receiving plate and providing a nearly U-shaped projection piece to the lower part of a light transmissive sample article. CONSTITUTION:When the nearly U-shaped projection piece 19 at the lower part of the light transmissive sample article 18 to be displayed is rotated matching the arcuate lock hole 17b at an optional position of the article receiving plate 15, the end part of the arcuate lock hole 17a is caught by the nearly U-shaped projection piece 19 of the sample article 18. Thus, the article receiving plate 15 is provided with the light transmission hole 17a and concentric arcuate lock hole 17b and the nearly U-shaped projection piece 19 is provided to the lower part of the light transmissive sample article 18. Consequently, only the specified light transmissive sample article 18 can be fitted and other articles can not be displayed.

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 sale of sample products of other manufacturers, there has been a demand for a structure that does not display sample products of other manufacturers, and a low-priced structure. There is also a plan to display sample products that will attract nine people's attention, and the question is how simple the structure can be. An example of the above-mentioned sample product display device for a vending machine will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIGS. 3 to 6, 1 is a main body of a vending machine, and a door 2 is provided on the front side of the main body of the vending machine.

The field 2 is provided with a product display room 3, and a product selection switch 4 is provided at the bottom. A coin slot 6 is formed. There is also a coin return slot at the bottom6. A product removal lower is provided. On the shaft-supporting back surface of the field 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 plurality of display product mounting brackets 11 having arcuate arms 11a are fixed in parallel with screws 11'. By wrapping the sample product 12 around the metal fittings 11, it is possible to display the product.

A first lighting lamp 13 is provided to illuminate the product exhibition room 3. On the front side, there is an illumination plate 1 with a transparent window section.
Section 4 constitutes the exhibition section.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention This conventional product display structure has a drawback in that since the sample product 12 can be easily replaced, sample products 12 from other manufacturers can also be easily attached.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a sample product holding device that prevents sample products from being easily replaced, makes the sample products stand out, and can be easily attached to sample products of different sizes. It is something to do.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the sample product display device of the present invention has a light transmitting hole and a concentric circle with the light transmitting hole in the product receiving plate disposed at the bottom of the product display room. A translucent sample product having a circular arc-shaped locking hole located at the bottom thereof and a substantially U-shaped protruding piece that locks with the arc-shaped locking hole, and a lighting lamp disposed at the bottom of the product receiving plate. It is composed of

Effects The present invention has the above-described configuration, so that only the specified translucent sample product can be installed, and it is not possible to display samples of other products. Only the translucent sample product is illuminated to attract attention, and even if the translucent sample product and the translucent sample product are different in size, they can be easily attached and removed by simply rotating and locking the sample product without the need for tools. It can be done.

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.

The product receiving plate 15 has a transparent hole 17a, and this transparent hole j7
A plurality of arc-shaped locking holes 17b are arranged at a plurality of locations concentrically with a, and a second illumination light 13& is arranged at the lower part of the locking holes 17b. 18 is a translucent sample product, and a plurality of approximately 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 FIGS. 1 and 2.

When the substantially U-shaped protruding piece 19 at the bottom of the translucent sample product 18 to be displayed is aligned with the arc-shaped locking hole 17b at an arbitrary location on the product receiving plate 15 and rotated, the arc-shaped locking hole 17a will fit. The end portion is to be clamped onto a substantially U-shaped protruding piece 19 of the sample product 18.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the product receiving plate 16 is provided with the transparent hole 17a and the arc-shaped locking hole 1Tb concentrically therewith,
Due to the provision of a substantially U-shaped protruding piece 19 at the bottom of the translucent sample product 1B, only the specified translucent sample product 18 can be installed when displaying the translucent sample product 18. It becomes impossible to display samples of other products. In addition, since the specified translucent sample product 18 is rotated and locked,
No tools are required for attachment and detachment, and it can be easily attached and detached with one touch, and it is locked at the bottom of the translucent sample product 18, so even if the translucent sample product 18 has a different size, It is possible. In addition, translucent sample product 18
Since the lower part of the display is illuminated, it is possible to sufficiently attract people's attention and provide a very effective display of translucent sample products.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention provides a translucent hole in the product receiving plate, an arcuate locking hole concentrically with the translucent hole, and a substantially U-shaped protruding piece at the bottom of the translucent sample product. Due to this, the display of sample products will be
Only the designated sample products can be installed, and it is not possible to display samples of other products. In addition, since the designated sample product is rotated and locked, no tools are required for attachment and detachment, which can be easily done with one touch, and the sample product is locked at the bottom of the sample product. It is possible to accommodate different sizes. In addition, since the lower part of the translucent sample product is illuminated, it is possible to provide an effective display of the sample product that attracts people's attention.
