Abstract

PURPOSE:To promote the buying intention especially at night by constituting a device of exhibited commodities, which are formed with light-transmissive materials and have display printed layers on surfaces and provided with through holes in upper parts, and a light source set above them and causing exhibited commodities themselves to emit light. CONSTITUTION:A display printed layer 17a is added to the surface of an exhibited commodity 17 formed of a light-transmissive synthetic resin or the like, and the exhibited commodity is provided with a through hole 15 in the upper face and is grasped on an exhibited commodity reception plate 14 by exhibited commodity attaching metal fittings. Consequently, an illuminating lamp 16 set above the exhibited commodity 17 projectes on it, and the display printed layer 17a on its surface is irradiated with the light and the light is irregularly reflected on the display printed layer 17a, and the whole surface of the exhibited commodity 17 emits light. Thus, the brightness of the exhibited commodity 17 is increased especially at night to promote the buying intention.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a product display device for a vending machine.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In recent years, as vending machines have become larger, the types of products sold have also increased, and the products on display have also become more diverse, making it difficult to distinguish between the products themselves. Therefore, it has become important to make displayed products easier to distinguish and to make them stand out in the promotion of product sales. For this reason, there is a method such as Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 63-12272 that illuminates displayed products.

A conventional product display device for a vending machine will be described below with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6.

In the figure, 1 is the main body of the vending machine, and 2 is the main body 1.
The door is located on the front side of the door and is rotatably supported on one side by a hinge 3. A product exhibition room 4 is provided on the front side of the door 2 and has an opening 2a and a see-through window 2c made of a protection plate 2B formed of a see-through member. An inner door 6 is rotatably supported on a rear main pillar 5 of the door 2 with a hinge 5a. A display product mounting plate 7 is provided on the surface side of the inner door 60 and located inside the product display room 4, and display product mounting brackets 8 are installed on the surface of the display product mounting plate 7 at appropriate intervals.
It is fixed in place. The display product mounting bracket 8 is approximately U-shaped and is made of an elastic spring member, and is made of a material such as metal or glass, and holds the display product 1o with a printed display pasted on its surface. In addition, the exhibit product 10
A receiving plate 11 on which the bottom surface 10a of the product is placed is arranged on the entire lower side of the product display room 4, and is fixed to the display product mounting plate 7 with a hinge 12. In order to illuminate the interior of the product exhibition room 4,
A lighting lamp 13.13a is fixed to the display product mounting plate 7.

The operation of the vending machine product display device configured as described above will be described below.

When a change in sales products occurs, the middle door 6 located behind door 2 is opened, and the display product 1 of the product that was on sale until now is displayed.
0 by pushing open the elastic exhibition product mounting bracket 8. Next, the display product 10b, which is a newly sold product, is held by pushing open the display product mounting bracket 8, and placed on the receiving plate 11 for display.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with the above configuration, especially at night, because the lighting lamps located above the displayed products are illuminated from one direction, shadows are created on the displayed products, and the outside of the product display window is illuminated. The problem was that it was difficult to distinguish between

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a product display device for a vending machine that attracts people's attention because the displayed products themselves emit light, so that the displayed products stand out from the surroundings even at night and do not create shadows on the displayed products. It is.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the product display device for a vending machine of the present invention includes a display product receiving plate provided in the product display room and a translucent material on the upper surface of the display product receiving plate. The device is equipped with a display product having a display print layer formed on its surface, a communication hole provided on the top surface of the display product, and a light source provided above the communication hole.

According to the present invention, with the above-mentioned configuration, the exhibited product receives light projected from the light source at the top, which irradiates the display printing layer on the surface of the displayed product, and the light is diffusely reflected by the printed layer, so that the entire surface of the displayed product is illuminated. The light rays hit the display almost uniformly, causing the entire surface of the displayed product to emit light. Especially at night, the displayed products will be brighter, improving the display effect and contributing to increasing customers' desire to purchase.

Embodiment Below, a product display device for a vending machine according to an embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIGS. Omitted.

In the figure, reference numeral 14 denotes a display product receiving plate, which is arranged on the entire lower surface of the product display room 4 and is fixed to the product mounting plate 7.

Reference numeral 17 is an exhibition product molded from a transparent synthetic resin, which has a display printing layer 17a added to its surface, and is displayed on the top of an exhibition product receiving plate 14 which has a communication hole 16 on the top surface. It is held by a product mounting bracket 8.

Reference numeral 16 denotes an illumination lamp, which is installed above the displayed product 17.

The operation of the vending machine product display device configured as described above will be described below.

The display product 17 held by the display product mounting bracket 8 receives the projection of the illumination light 16 installed on the top of the display product 17,
The display print layer 17a on the surface of the exhibited product 17 is irradiated, and the light is diffusely reflected by the display print layer 17a.
(arrow in FIG. 2) The entire surface of the displayed product 17 is irradiated with a light beam almost uniformly, and the entire surface of the displayed product 17 emits light.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the illumination lamp 16 installed above the display product 17 in the product display room 4 and the light transmitting material held by the display product mounting bracket 8 are formed on the surface of the display product 17. By adding the display print layer 17a, the entire surface of the display product 17 having the upper surface communication hole 15 emits light, further improving visibility especially at night.

Furthermore, by printing only the back side of the displayed product 17 on the display print layer 17a on an aluminum base or the like having a high reflectance, it is possible to increase the light emission level on the other side.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention provides a display product that is molded from a translucent material, has a display print layer on its surface, and has a communication hole in the upper part, and a light source that is installed on the top of the display product. Depending on the configuration, the following effects can be obtained.

0 The displayed product itself emits light, so the display print area is clearly projected without any shadows.

0 This effect is particularly significant at night, contributing to an increase in customers' desire to purchase.
