Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Object of the Invention] (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a rotary display device of a vending machine that displays a sample of a product while rotating the product.

(Prior Art) In a vending machine that sells canned juice and the like, an exhibition section is provided in front of the machine body, and a sample of the sold product is displayed in this exhibition section.

However, if the sample remained stationary, it was not enough to attract attention, and there, there was a problem with No. 60-22462, No.
As seen in 63-61084, Jitsukō 54-35677, and Jōkō 54-24636, the sample is exhibited while giving a certain motion.
As a result, products that are designed to stimulate purchase motivation and promote sales efficiency are provided.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) However, in the above-mentioned Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 60-22462, the sample is simply rotated or reciprocally rotated at the same point.
With -61084, the sample only swings to the left and right at the same point, all of them are small movements, and there are few visual changes,
It is not possible to give such a great appeal effect, and in the case of Jikō 54-35677 and Jiko 54-24636,
Since the sample revolves around the center of the rotating disk while rotating, the change in movement increases and the appeal effect improves accordingly, but the sample only repeats rotation and revolution at a constant speed, there is no accent in movement, Therefore, it was difficult to expect a sufficient appeal effect.

This invention was made with this point in mind, and the purpose of this invention is a rotating exhibition where you can expect a sufficient appealing effect by exhibiting while giving various movements with accents to the sample. To provide a device.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve such an object, the present invention is provided on a guide wheel and a rotary shaft of a drive source and rotates on a horizontal plane integrally with the rotary shaft. An arm, a mounting table rotatably provided at an end portion on the opposite side of the rotation center of the arm via a support shaft, and a peripheral surface attached to the support shaft of the mounting table has a peripheral surface engaged with the peripheral surface of the guide wheel. In this configuration, the engagement wheel that rotates in response to the rotation of the arm by this engagement and the cutout portion provided in a part of the peripheral surface of the guide wheel are provided.

(Operation) When the arm rotates in conjunction with the drive source, the mounting table and the engagement wheel move integrally with the arm in the rotation direction, and the engagement wheel and the guide wheel are engaged according to this movement. The engagement wheel rotates (rotates). When the engagement wheel reaches the cutout portion of the guide wheel, the engagement is released to stop the rotation (rotation) of the engagement wheel. In this stopped state, the engagement wheel moves in the section of the cutout portion. When passing the section, the engagement wheel starts rotating again due to the engagement between the engagement wheel and the guide wheel, and moves along the circumferential direction of the guide wheel.

The mounting table is integrally connected to the engagement wheel via a support shaft, so that the sample mounted on the mounting table behaves similarly to the engagement wheel. That is, the sample revolves around the center of the guide wheel while rotating, and while the engagement wheel moves through the notch section of the guide wheel, the rotation of the sample stops and shows only the revolution. After the wheel passes through the section of the notch, it starts to rotate again and revolves.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Fig. 3 shows the overall appearance of the vending machine, where 1 is the machine and
2 is a front door pivotally attached to the front of the
The exhibition room 3 is formed in the upper front part of the front door 2,
Inside the exhibition room 3, samples a ... of products for sale are stored in a plurality of stages. Then, for example, the sample a arranged in the center of the middle tier is a new product that is particularly recommended for purchase, and the sample a is supported by the rotating display device.

A first embodiment of this rotary display apparatus is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and 5 is a guide wheel, and a motor 7 as a drive source is arranged on the central axis of the guide wheel 5, and the motor 7
An arm 8 is attached to the rotating shaft 7a of the. The arm 8 rotates on a horizontal plane together with the rotating shaft 7a of the motor 7, and the mounting table 10 is freely rotatable on the arm 8 from the rotation center O to the end portion of the radius R via the support shaft 9. Is provided in
The sample a is mounted on the mounting table 10. An engaging wheel 11 is fixedly attached to the lower end of the support shaft 9. The engagement wheel 11 is arranged inside the guide wheel 5, and its outer peripheral surface is in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the guide wheel 5 with a constant frictional force. And on the inner peripheral surface of the guide wheel 5,
For example, long cutouts 12a and 12b are formed along the circumferential direction at two portions facing each other.

In such a configuration, the motor 7 is energized and the rotating shaft
When the arm 8 rotates together with 7a, the mounting table 10 and the engagement wheel 11 move integrally with the arm 8 in the rotation direction, and the outer peripheral surface of the engagement wheel 11 and the inner circumference of the guide wheel 5 move in accordance with this movement. The engagement wheel 11 rotates (rotates) by the frictional force with the surface. When the engaging wheel 11 reaches the notch 12a on the inner peripheral surface of the guide wheel 5,
Since the frictional force disappears, the rotation (rotation) of the engaging wheel 11 stops, and in this stopped state, the engaging wheel 11 moves in the section of the notch 12a, and when passing through this section, the outer periphery of the engaging wheel 11 again. The engagement wheel 11 starts to rotate by the frictional force between the surface and the inner peripheral surface of the guide wheel 5, and moves along the circumferential direction of the guide wheel 5. Then, after that, the rotation of the engaging wheel 11 is stopped until the engaging wheel 11 reaches the other notch 12b and similarly passes through the section of the notch 12b.

The mounting table 10 is integrally connected to the engaging wheel 11 via the support shaft 9, so that the sample a mounted on the mounting table 10 exhibits the same movement as the engaging wheel 11. That is, sample a
Revolves around the center of the guide wheel 5 while rotating, and while the engaging wheel 11 moves in the section of the cutouts 12a. ring
After 11 passes through the section of the cutouts 12a.12b, it starts to rotate again and revolves. As described above, the sample a shows not only simple continuous movements but also various colorful and varied movements with accents, so that it is possible to attract a strong attention to the customer and obtain a large appeal effect.

FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment, in which
The guide wheel 5 is rotatably supported via a cylindrical rail 15, and a gear 16 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the guide wheel 5. A motor 18 is disposed on the outer peripheral side of the guide wheel 5, a pinion 19 is attached to a rotating shaft 18a of the motor 18, the pinion 19 meshes with the gear 16, and one of the inner peripheral surfaces of the guide wheel 5 is attached. A notch 12 is formed at the part.

In such a structure, the guide wheel 5 is rotated by the driving force of the motor 18, and the arm 8 is rotated about the rotating shaft 7a of the motor 7 similar to the above-described one under the rotating state of the guide wheel 5. To do. Here, for example, the rotation speed of the arm 8 is set to three times the rotation speed of the guide wheel 5, and in such a case, the guide wheel 5 makes a half rotation while the arm 8 makes one and a half rotations, and engages during this period. The wheel 11 faces the notch 12 several times and the rotation of the sample a stops each time, but since the guide wheel 5 is constantly rotating, the position of the notch 12 is sequentially displaced, so that the sample a The point where the rotation stops will change over time, and the movement will become even more diverse and varied.

In the above embodiment, the engagement wheel is rotated by frictional engagement between the guide wheel and the engagement wheel. However, the configuration is not limited to this and the engagement wheel is rotated by engagement. This may be the case, and it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the outer peripheral surface of the guide wheel is engaged with the outer peripheral surface of the engaging wheel to rotate the engaging wheel.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the sample placed on the table is displayed while giving a variety of accented and varied movements, rather than simple continuous movements. Therefore, strong attention can be attracted and a large appeal effect can be expected.
