Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a vending machine, and more particularly to a device for displaying a sample of a product, its price, the type of a chilled product or a heated product, etc. in an illuminated advertising section.

[Prior Art] Generally, in a vending machine that sells several types of canned or bottled drinks, etc., as shown in Fig. 4,
A plurality of product samples 3 are displayed in a horizontal line in an illuminated advertising part 2 formed at the top of an outer door 1. Each product sample 3 is a product selection button 6
will be installed correspondingly. In particular, in the case of vending machines with heating and cooling functions, products are heated or cooled depending on the season before being sold.
In addition to displaying product samples, it also displays whether the product is a heated product or a cooled product.

This is done using a single display board called a heating/cooling display board. For example, if you want to sell two of six types of products by cooling them and heating four of them, samples of two types of chilled products and samples of four types of heated products may be placed on the left and right as shown in the diagram. Divide and arrange. At the top (or bottom) of these, cooling and heating display boards 31 and 32 are installed with screws, etc., and in particular, the words ``Tsumeitai'' are written on the side of the sample group of cooled products, and the words ``warm'' are written on the side of the sample group of heated products. Distinctions are made by adding letters such as .

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, in this type of vending machine, the ratio of types of chilled products to types of heated products is not limited to the above ratio of two types of chilled products and four types of heated products, but is variable. There are many. Therefore, with the display method described above, it is necessary to prepare cooling and heating display boards of different types, that is, different lengths, that correspond to the combination of chilled products and heated products, and in addition, it is necessary to prepare cooling and heating display boards of different lengths that correspond to the combination of chilled products and heated products. Even if you just change the product, you will have to replace the corresponding cooling/heating display board. Furthermore, recently, product samples are sometimes displayed not in rows but in blocks for each manufacturer or similar product, and the above-mentioned cooling and heating display board cannot be used for this type of display system.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a product display device that can display products separately for each product sample.

The present invention also aims to provide a product display device that has a simple structure and whose display can be easily changed.

A display device for individually displaying the product type, selection number, etc. is detachably attached to the extension part, and the display device has a boss on its back surface, and the boss has a boss that is arranged in two parts in the radial direction. a dividing slit is provided, the boss is attached to a protrusion provided on the extension part, and
It is characterized by being fitted with a retaining ring to prevent it from coming off.

[Effect]

With this structure, the display can be changed by replacing the product sample and also replacing the display device. Furthermore, the display angle is adjusted by rotating the display device according to the display posture of the product sample.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is a front view of a vending machine to which the present invention is applied.

In the figure, an illuminated advertising section 2 for displaying product samples 3 is formed above an outer door 1. The product sample 3 is held by a holding fitting 4.
In the present invention, the required display is made on the display 5 for each product sample 3, so the installation position and holding angle of the holding fittings 4 can be freely selected, and the display effect can be improved. . 6 is a product selection button.

FIGS. 2 and 3 are diagrams showing an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 2, the upper end side of the approximately L-shaped mounting bracket 7 can be attached together with the holding bracket 4 to the inner wall of the illuminated advertising section with screws 8. In addition,
An extension part 71 extending downward from the tip is provided on the lower end side of the mounting bracket 7, and the display 5 is attached to this extension part 71.
can be installed with one touch. Note that the holding fitting 4 and the mounting fitting 7 do not need to be made of metal, and may be made of resin.

The display device 5 consists of a ring-shaped frame 10, a display plate 51, and a pressing plate 11. The character display section 53 on one side of the display board 51 has the characters "Tsumita~i" on it, and the product number display section 52 and price display section 54 on the other side are the same, and the character display section has "Warm" on it. ~
By adding the characters "I" (not shown),
One display board 51 has two types of display functions. In the inner diameter part of the ring-shaped frame 10, there is a recess 10 into which the display board 51 can be fitted, leaving convex parts 101, 101 (one piece is fine) at two locations facing each other.
2 is formed. The display board 51 is held in the ring-shaped frame 1 by the holding plate 11 having the same shape as the display board 51 and having notches 55, 55 that can fit into the convex portions 101.
0 in the recess 102. Therefore, the depth of the recess 102 is made larger than the sum of the thickness of the display board 51 and the thickness of the pressing plate 11.

A boss 113 having a slit 114 that divides the holding plate 11 into two in the radial direction is provided on the back side of the holding plate 11. The extension portion 71 is provided with a protrusion 72 that can be fitted into the boss 113. boss 11
A retaining ring 12 (FIG. 3) is fitted around 3, and tightens the boss 113 into which the protrusion 72 is fitted to prevent it from rotating easily.

In this way, the display 5 can be attached and detached with a single touch, and the angle of the displayed characters can be easily adjusted.

In this display 5, the product number display section 52 corresponds to the product selection button 6 (see FIG. 1), and for this reason, one product selection button may be provided for each product selection button. It can be easily attached to the extension of any mounting bracket in the electric lighting advertising section, and the product selection button corresponds to the product number display section 52, so product samples can be placed in various positions and displayed. The effect can be improved.

As an example, assume that a vending machine with heating and cooling functions sells the same type of canned coffee separately into heated and cooled versions. In this case, the message "Warm" is displayed in correspondence with the product sample held in one of the two adjacent holding metal fittings 4, and the message "Tsubame" is displayed in correspondence with the same product sample held in the other. Can be displayed. Then, two product samples displayed like this, such as "Warm...
Hold another product sample in the holding bracket next to the product sample that says "I've packed it."
By displaying a message such as "I'm going to die", samples of chilled products and heated products can be placed alternately throughout the store.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 1, even if the holding angle of the product sample 3, that is, the mounting angle of the mounting bracket is oblique, the display device 5 is held relative to the mounting bracket 7, as is clear from FIG. Since the angle can be changed freely, the characters on the display board 51 will not be slanted.

Furthermore, since the protrusion 101 and the notch 55 fit together, the display board 51 will not rotate during installation or use, and the displayed characters will not be slanted. Changes and replacements are very easy. That is, if the display board 51 is removed by pulling out the ring-shaped frame 10 from the holding plate 11 while the holding plate 11 attached to the extension part 71 remains as it is, and then turning it over and resetting it, it is "closed." The display can be changed from "warm" to "warm", and the display board 51 itself can be replaced.

Note that the characters attached to the display board 51 are not limited to the words shown in the figure, and may be displayed diagonally instead of only in the vertical and horizontal directions, and the characters may be displayed not only in the vertical and horizontal directions but also in the product number and price instead of distinguishing between cold and warm. Of course, it may also be used as a display board for displaying.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, the present invention has a simple structure that allows for distinguishing between products for each product sample, and the display can be easily replaced with a single touch.
If you want to change each one, you only need to replace the corresponding display board. In addition, by making the entire display unit rotatable around the boss, even if the mounting angle of the mounting bracket is diagonal to the left and right, it can be adjusted so that the display characters do not appear diagonally. Therefore, no matter how a plurality of types of product samples are installed in the illuminated advertising section in any arrangement or combination, a wide variety of displays can be performed corresponding to the arrangement and combination.
