Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to an auxiliary tool for assisting product display for a product display shelf for daily necessities, etc. The present invention relates to an auxiliary tool for effectively displaying products when items overlap.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, a display aid shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 61-29327 is known, which has two strip-shaped partition plates 11a and 11b in front and back as illustrated in FIG. Connecting rod 1
It is fixed by 2a and 12b, and is configured to have a rectangular frame shape as a whole.

In the case of using this conventional example, first, a plurality of the auxiliary tools are arranged side by side on the product display shelf, and the displayed commodities are arranged in a column in the auxiliary tool by type. Among them, when a certain product is sold and the number of products displayed is reduced, the products will disappear from the front side of the customer on display, so by pulling the auxiliary tool toward you, the product group on the back side of the shelf will be connected to the rear connecting rod. The products are taken out and arranged on the front of the display shelf by being pushed by 12b and moving forward all at once without breaking the arrangement, and then pushing the auxiliary tools inward. In addition, the additional display of products may be sequentially arranged in the empty space.

Therefore, in the conventional example, it is possible to prevent the leading product of the sold line from being obscured by the line of the adjacent product so that it cannot be seen from the diagonal direction, and to prevent the old product from being unsold in the back of the display shelf. It is very effective for displaying products on display shelves.

However, in the above-mentioned conventional display assisting device, it is necessary to prepare a device in which the intervals of the partition plates of the assisting device are changed for each size of the product to be displayed, and a plurality of the assisting devices are arranged side by side. If the total width does not match the width of the display rack, the display space is wasted.

As a method of solving such a drawback, it is conceivable that the lateral width of the display assisting tool can be adjusted by making the connecting member connecting the pair of partition members of the display assisting tool expandable.

As a merchandise display assisting tool provided with such a stretchable connecting member, a front and rear enclosure device for a merchandise display shelf described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 59-101865 has been developed.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the former display assisting tool, the both ends are assembled by simply press-fitting the tip of the connecting member into the through hole provided in the partition member. In order to secure the assembling strength in such a structure, the through hole serving as the fitting portion has to be long, that is, the partition member has to be thick.

Further, in the latter front and rear enclosure device of the latter product display shelf, the hooking piece at the tip of the connecting member is assembled by locking the hooking hole provided in the partition member. Therefore,
After all, the partition member had to be thickened to some extent.

As a result, the horizontal space occupied by the display assisting device becomes large, and the space for displaying the products becomes small.

Further, in many cases, a minute wall is provided at the front end of the product display shelf to prevent the product from falling, but in the conventional display auxiliary tool, the lower part of each front end of the partition member is processed at a right angle.
Therefore, when the display assisting tool is slid in the front-rear direction for aligning the products, there is a problem that it cannot be smoothly slid due to being caught by the minute wall.

Therefore, the present invention provides a display auxiliary tool for a product display shelf or the like that can effectively use a lateral space of the product display shelf or the like and can smoothly slide in the front-back direction for aligning products. The purpose is to provide.

(Means for Solving the Problems) Therefore, in the present invention, in order to solve the above problems,
A display auxiliary tool having partition members provided in parallel to each other for partitioning products to be displayed, and a connecting member for horizontally connecting and connecting a front end portion and a rear end portion of the partition member, wherein the partition member is A male screw member that is inserted from the outside of the partition member into a through hole provided in the partition member and has its head buried inside the outer surface of the partition member is screwed into female screw portions at both ends of the connecting member. By this, it is attached to the connecting member, and the corner portion of the lower front end of the partition member is chamfered, and the connecting member is formed to be expandable and contractable so that the space between the facing partition members can be widened and narrowed. We have created a display aid for product display shelves, etc.

Here, the chamfering process means a process for removing a right angle of a corner portion, such as a R surface process or a C surface process.

(Operation) Now, according to the display auxiliary tool for the product display shelf or the like of the present invention having the above-mentioned configuration, the partition member and the connecting member, the male screw member penetrating the partition member to the female screw portions at both ends of the connecting member. It is assembled by screwing. Therefore, the strength of the assembly portion can be ensured even with a thin partition member, and the partition member can be thinned to the necessary minimum.

Furthermore, by embedding the head of the male screw member for attaching the connecting member to the partition member in the partition member,
The partition members of the adjacent display assisting tools can be brought into close contact with each other.

This minimizes the lateral space used for display aids on merchandise display shelves and the like.

Since the corners at the bottom of each front end of the partitioning member are chamfered, it is easy to cross the minute wall provided at the front end of the product display shelf, and when the products are aligned, the display aids can slide in the front-back direction more smoothly. You can do it.

Since the connecting member that connects the pair of partition members of the display assisting device is made expandable and contractable, the lateral width of the display assisting device can be adjusted. Therefore, by changing the lateral width of the display assisting tool in accordance with the width and quantity of the product or the remaining space, it is possible to effectively use the lateral space of the product display shelf or the like.

In this way, it is possible to effectively use the space in the lateral direction such as the product display shelf, and to smoothly slide the products in the front-rear direction for aligning the products.

And the stopper members 9 abut each other to maximize the distance between the partition members 2a and 2b.

Next, the operation and effect of this embodiment configured as described above will be described.

In this embodiment, the partition members 2a and 2b provided in parallel to each other for partitioning the products to be displayed and the partition member 2 are provided.
A display assisting tool 1 comprising connecting members 3a, 3b for connecting the front and rear ends of a, 2b across the bridge, wherein the connecting members 3a, 3b are formed to be expandable and contractable. The configuration is such that the space between the members 2a and 2b can be freely widened.

Therefore, when using the present embodiment, first, as shown in FIG. 8, two partition members 2a and 2b of each auxiliary tool are arranged in a row on the product display shelf 10 so as to be in contact with each other, and then each product is placed. It is arranged in a column in each auxiliary tool 1 in an orderly manner.

In this case, the space between the partition members 2a and 2b of the auxiliary tool 1 can be widened or narrowed by a worker's hand to match the size of the goods to be displayed, or the auxiliary pieces arranged in a row across the width of the display shelf 10. The total width of the tool 1 can be matched. Therefore, it is not necessary to prepare the display aids having various widths, and the display space of the display rack 10 can be effectively used.

For example, as shown in FIG. 8, products of the same type from 2 rows to 3
The arrangement can be freely changed in a row or vice versa without replacing the connecting rod as in the conventional case. In addition, it is possible to increase the array of hot-selling products and decrease the array of unsold products by selling the displayed products. This is not limited to the case where only one type of product in the same field is displayed, such as at a convenience store, where so-called single item management is performed, and particularly when displaying multiple types of product in the same field, such as supermarkets, department stores, etc. It is a very effective display aid.

Further, as in the case of the conventional auxiliary tool in which the distance between the partition members 2a and 2b is fixed, when the front product is sold and the number of displayed items is small, the connecting member 3a at the front end of the auxiliary tool 1 in which the product is arranged is reduced. The product group on the back side of the shelf 10 is pushed by the connecting member 3b at the rear end by pulling it toward you and moves forward all at once without breaking the arrangement.
