Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a product sample display device that contributes to a thinner vending machine.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Recently, the problem of vehicular sticking out of vending machines installed outdoors has been highlighted, and it has become a social requirement to make vending machines thinner.

In order to reduce the thickness, it is necessary to reduce the thickness of the door structure. As one of the components that greatly influences the slimming down of the door structure, there is a product exhibition room where sample cans for exhibition are arranged. And in order to increase the sales of the products inside the vending machine while making the product display room thinner, it is necessary to display more beautiful samples than before.

By the way, the front structure of a vending machine is generally as shown in FIG.

That is, an openable and closable door 2 is provided in front of a main body 1 in which goods are stored by being cooled and stored in a refrigerator. A coin insertion slot 5 and a plurality of product selection buttons 6 for selecting a desired product are arranged side by side in a plurality of rows. Further, a product sample, for example, a sample can 7 is displayed and arranged corresponding to the product selection button 6. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the sample can 7 is made of a resin having a cylindrical shape with a hole formed in the bottom for introducing light, and is installed in the product exhibition room 9 inside the door 2. Inside the product exhibition room 9, there is a sample display stand 13 having a back wall 11 for display and a circular light inlet 12 formed on the top wall, and the sample can 7 is mounted on the sample display stand 13. It will be placed and exhibited at.

Then, the fluorescent lamp 14 housed in the sample display stand 13 illuminates the light from the inner surface of the sample can 7 through the light introducing port 12 and from the sample can 7 to the outside. . A transparent panel 15 is made of a transparent resin such as acrylic and covers the front of the product exhibition room 9.

In the above-mentioned product display, since the cylindrical sample can 7 having the same shape as the product is displayed, there is a disadvantage that the product display room 9 must be deep.

Therefore, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 2-6383, a sample display method using a half-cut sample can is proposed.

[0009]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 This method of displaying with a half-cut sample can save space and reduce the depth of the product exhibition room, but on the other hand, the shallow depth leaves a problem of a dark sample display.

The present invention has been made in view of this problem, and improved the drawbacks of the conventional dark half-cut sample can to a bright structure with a simple structure, and to improve the entire product exhibition room where samples are displayed. It is an object to provide a product display device that can be brightened.

[0011]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention is provided in a front door of a vending machine body, a product exhibition room whose front is covered with a transparent panel, an exhibition back wall provided on the back side of the product exhibition room, and a transparent resin. A product sample that is formed in a half-cut can type and has a back piece with a space holding piece that can be displayed on the display back wall with a small gap from the display back wall, and illumination that illuminates the inside of the product sample. It is characterized by having means.

[0012]

[Action]

 By using a half-cut can-shaped product sample with a space holding piece on the back, this product sample can be displayed with a slight gap without being in close contact with the back wall for display. As a result, the light that illuminates the product sample leaks out from the gap and is reflected by the back wall for display, enabling brighter lighting in the product display room.

In this way, it is possible to realize not only the illumination of the product sample but also the exhibition illumination that can secure the interior of the product exhibition room brighter than before.

[0014]

【Example】

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The same or equivalent components as those of the conventional device are designated by the same reference numerals.

Reference numeral 20 is a product sample of a half-cut can, which is formed of a permeable white resin and has a label 21 made of a permeable film on which the name of the product beverage and its design, etc. are attached. This product sample is provided with a semi-circular light-guiding inlet 22 for introducing light from below to illuminate this product sample 20, and a rectangular light-guiding inlet 23 opened for introducing light from the back for illumination. Has been. On the back face 24 of the product sample 20, a space holding piece 25 for displaying the product sample 20 with a space between the display back wall 11 of the product display room 9 and the display back wall 11 is provided. It is formed so as to surround the frame. Then, above and below the interval holding piece 25, a mounting melon piece 27 that locks in the locking holes 26, 26 provided on the display back wall 11 side so that the product sample 20 can be mounted by one-touch. , 27 are provided in pairs.

The sample display stand 13 on which the product sample 20 is placed is made of, for example, a translucent resin, and a fluorescent lamp 14 is provided inside thereof. In order to introduce the light of the fluorescent lamp 14 into the product sample 20, the same semicircular hole 28 is formed in the upper wall of the sample display stand 13 corresponding to the light guide entrance 22. Further, another fluorescent lamp 31 can be arranged behind the display back wall 11 in order to allow the product sample 20 to be illuminated from the back. Then, in order to similarly introduce the light of the fluorescent lamp 31 into the product sample 20, a rectangular hole is formed in the display wall 11 corresponding to the light guide inlet 23.

With the above configuration, the product sample 20 in a half-cut can is not directly attached to the display back wall 11 as shown in FIG. It will be displayed by placing d on the sample display stand 13.

When the fluorescent lamp 14 in the sample display stand 13 is used to illuminate the product sample 20 from below, the light from the fluorescent lamp 14 enters through the semicircular light-guiding inlet 22 and the product sample 20 is transmitted from the inside to be illuminated, and part of the light from the fluorescent lamp 14 leaks laterally from the gap d. This leaked light hits the back wall 11 for display and is reflected, and brightens the product display room 9 as a whole. Further, the reflected light also illuminates the sample can itself, and is also scattered on the label 21 surface of the transparent film, so that the product sample 20 can be illuminated more clearly.

Also, in the case of back lighting of the product sample 20 by the fluorescent lamp 31, light leaks from the gap d and is reflected on the back wall 11 for exhibition, so that the interior of the product exhibition room 9 can be brightened. .

In this way, the depth of the product exhibition room 9 is made shallow, which contributes to the thinning of the vending machine itself, and even if a half-cut sample can is used, it can be brightened without being dark as in the conventional case, and the product sample can be easily displayed. You can make it stand and illuminate it, and achieve a beautiful exhibition with a simple structure.

[0022]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, a product sample of a half-cut can having a protrusion for holding a space on the back is used, and the sample is provided with a gap between the sample and the back wall for display. The light that illuminates the product sample was made to leak from this gap, and this leaked light is reflected on the back wall for exhibition, making it possible to make the entire product exhibition room brighter. Of course, this reflected light can also illuminate the product sample, which makes it possible to display the product sample in a more distinctive and beautiful manner. The half-cut can product sample can be used for both downward lighting and back lighting of the exhibition without changing the structure, and the brightness of the exhibited goods can be sufficiently ensured. It is possible to provide a product display device with a low cost.
