Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 This invention relates to a structure for supporting a product sample on an exhibition panel in a vending machine or the like.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, as this type of product display structure, as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the product receiving stand 2 has been replaced with a suitable one for each size and thickness of the product 1. 3 is an exhibition panel for vending machines and the like. However, the product receiving stand 2 corresponding to the product size had to be replaced, which was complicated. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, a method is also considered in which the product receiving tray 2 has the same size and the spring 4 is used to hold the product 1 between the product holding plate 5 and the product holding plate 5.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the structure shown in FIG. 3, the structure is complicated because the spring 4 and the product holding plate 5 fitted with the spring 4 are required. On the other hand, when there is no product as shown in FIG. 3B, Since the space between the product cradle 2 and the product pressing plate 5 disappears, there is a problem that the work of expanding the space is required and the product 1 cannot be set smoothly.

In order to solve such a problem, as shown in FIG. 4, it has been considered to make the product receiving stand 2 into a box shape, but the width of the product to be mounted is restricted, and the same figure is used. As shown in (b), if the product 1 is loose in the product receiving box 2A and the display panel 3 is moved when the product 1 rattles in the product receiving box 2A, the stored condition of the product becomes unstable and the product may fall. There was also.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the problems that the conventional techniques have, and when the thickness and size of the product are different to some extent or the display panel moves. However, it is an object of the present invention to provide a product display structure in a flat display panel that can display products in a stable state.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The structure of the present invention for achieving the above object will be described with reference to FIG. 1 corresponding to the embodiment. The present invention is designed so that both ends of the fixing portion 12a can move in parallel as much as possible within the range of pressing the product. An inverted U-shaped product pressing spring 12 is provided which has a leg portion 12b having a length set to 1, and a U-shaped product pressing portion 12c projecting at the tips of both legs 12b. The fixing portion 12a of 12 is fixed to the back surface of the display panel, the product holding portion 12c is inserted into the through hole 11a of the display panel 11, and the projecting surface 12T of the product holding portion 12c and the display panel 11 are provided to project. It is characterized in that a constant gap g is formed between the side plate 13a of the product support table 13 having an L-shaped cross section and both ends open.

[0007]

[Action]

 According to the present invention, the product pressing spring 12 has both functions as a leaf spring and a product pressing plate, and the side plate 13a of the product support 13 and the product pressing spring are constituted as described above. Since a gap g having a predetermined size is generated between the pressing portion 12c of 12 and the pressing portion 12c, the product can be easily set on the product support base 13. Further, since the product support base 13 has an L-shaped cross section and is open at both ends, even if the product 14 has a wide width, the product support base 13 can be displayed in a state of protruding from the product support base 13. Furthermore, since both legs 12b of the product pressing spring 12 are set to have appropriate lengths, even if the thickness of the product 14 changes, the product 12 can be moved in parallel to stabilize the supporting force of the product. Therefore, the above problems can be eliminated.

[0008]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a view showing an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 1 (a) is a perspective view showing a unit structure excluding products in a product display structure. Actually, many unit structures are arranged in a plurality of rows and a plurality of stages. It is arranged. (B) is a side sectional view of (a). Further, FIGS. 7C and 7D show the movement state of the product pressing spring when products having different thicknesses are displayed. That is, in this unit structure, as shown in FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b), the fixing portion 12a of the product pressing spring 12 is fixed at the back surface points A and B of the display panel 11, and both ends of the fixing portion 12a are fixed. The legs 12b are suspended in parallel. Further, a product pressing portion 12c having a substantially U-shape is bent forward at a point of a length L from the fixed positions A and B, and is projected in the front. The length L of the leg portion 12b is preferably such a length that it can be moved in parallel with products having different thicknesses so that the products can be clamped, and the end of the product pressing portion 12c is further bent. A stopper 12d is formed. Reference numeral 11a is a through hole through which the product pressing portion 12c provided on the display panel 11 is inserted, and the product pressing portion 12c is restricted by the stopper 12d so as not to move further inside. Further, 13 is a product support table capable of supporting products of various thicknesses and sizes, which has an L-shaped cross section and is open at both ends. When there is no display product shown in FIG. 1B, the side plate 13a is located in front of the display panel 11 so that the space between the side plate 13a and the product pressing portion 12c of the product pressing spring 12 is exposed by a constant gap g. Is set to. As a result, the purpose can be achieved by pushing the product in when it is installed, and workability is improved. Further, 14a and 14b are products having different thicknesses, and as can be seen from FIGS. 1 (c) and 1 (d), the product pressing spring 12 has product pressing portions 12c having different thicknesses 14a and 14b. The product pressing portion 12c presses the product against the side plate 13a of the product support base 13 with an appropriate force.

[0009]

[Effect of device]

 As described in detail above, according to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. Since the product support base is L-shaped in cross section and both ends are left open, even products that are large enough to protrude from the product support base can be displayed, and the product presser section of the product presser spring moves in parallel. Even if it changes, it can be stably supported, and a predetermined gap is formed between the side plate of the product support table and the product pressing portion of the product pressing spring by the stopper, so that workability at the time of setting the product is improved. In addition, since the product pressing spring doubles as a conventional product pressing plate and spring, the number of parts is reduced, the structure is simplified, and the cost is reduced.
