Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to vending machines,
The present invention relates to a display device in which an advertising panel on which pictograms for product advertisements are printed is displayed in a display room provided on one screen of an outer door, and the pictograms are illuminated by a fluorescent lamp to advertise products.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A display device of this type is known as shown in FIGS. In the figure, 1 is a shallow box-shaped outer door that constitutes the front surface of the vending machine, and 2 is an inner door that is provided on the back surface of the outer door 2. The display device 3 displays a product sample 33 in a display room 31 defined by the outer door 2 and also displays an advertisement panel 33 printed with pictograms for attracting customers' eyes to the product. A fluorescent lamp 34 is provided to illuminate 32 from the inside and obliquely above the advertising panel 33. The advertising panel 33 is generally a thin metal plate,
It is formed by attaching a synthetic resin film on which the above-mentioned advertising pictograms are printed, and is detachably attached by being supported on the front surface of the middle door 2 by the metal fitting 35. On the front surface of the outer door 1, a product sales push button 21 is provided corresponding to the product sample 32, and a coin slot 22, a product outlet 23 and the like are provided.

In the display device 3, for example, the advertisement panel 33 is replaced with one having a different design in accordance with a change in the product which the customer prefers, or the panel 33 is periodically changed to one having a different design to be an advertisement. It is aimed to increase sales by attracting customers' eyes.

[0004]

By the way, in the conventional display device 3, when it is desired to display the advertising panels 33 having different designs, the outer door 1 and the inner door 2 are opened, and the metal fittings 35 are removed. When a new advertising panel 33 is taken out and fixed again with the metal fittings 35, the work of changing to a different pattern is very troublesome, and there is a problem that it takes a considerable time. Further, when the removed advertising panel 33 is posted again. There was the trouble of having to secure a storage place for storage and maintenance.

This invention makes it very easy to change the design of the advertising panel to a different design, and to secure a storage location and maintain the storage of the design which is temporarily not used. An object is to provide a display device.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, an advertising panel printed with pictograms for product promotion is installed facing the front of the outer door and illuminates this advertising panel. In a display device of a vending machine equipped with a fluorescent lamp, the advertising panel is formed into an endless belt shape in which pictograms of at least two types of symbols are printed in series, and a rotating roller that vertically supports the advertising panel so that the advertising panel can run. A drive handle for rotating the rotating roller shall be provided.

[0007]

[Function] Two or more types of advertising pictograms are printed on the endless belt type advertising panel. Therefore, when it is desired to use a different design, the advertising panel may be driven by the drive handle and another design may be positioned in front. In this way, it is easy to change to a different design, and unused designs are also left in the advertising panel, so there is no need for special storage space or maintenance.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIGS. 1 and 2 show an embodiment of the present invention, in which parts common or identical to those in FIGS. 3 and 4 are designated by the same reference numerals. In FIGS. 1 and 2, 81 has a window 81a of an appropriate size on the front surface, which is a panel holder supported by the middle door 2 so that the window 81a is at an appropriate position in the display chamber 31, and 82 is a panel holder. The rotary roller is rotatably supported by the side plate 81, and one roller is provided on the upper side and two rollers are arranged on the lower side in the front and rear. A shaft 84 supported by a bearing 83 is provided inside the middle door 2, and a pulley 84 a and a ring-shaped drive handle 86 are integrally fitted to the shaft 84.
Then, a pulley 82a integrally provided on the upper rotary roller 82 and the pulley 84a are connected by a belt 87. The advertising panel 33 is formed of a translucent film having an appropriate thickness in the form of an endless belt and is stretched around the three rotating rollers 82. The advertising panel 33 is printed with two types of product advertisement pictograms 33a and 33b having sizes corresponding to the window 81a and different designs. Further, a fluorescent lamp 34a is installed in the central space of the advertisement panel 33 in the panel holder 81.

In the above structure, the advertisement panel 33 displays the pictogram 33a on the window 81a. Also this pictogram 33a
In addition to the illumination of the fluorescent light 34, the illumination of the fluorescent light 34a from the back is reflected very effectively and the product is strongly impressed to the customer. Then, when pictograms with different designs are displayed on the window 31a, for example, when it is desired to advertise another product, the outer door 1 is opened, and the handle 86 is rotated from the rear side of the inner door 2. , Pulley 84a, pulley 82a
It is transmitted to the rotating roller 82, and the rotating roller 82 causes the advertisement panel 33 to run. Therefore, if the other pictogram 33b faces the window 81a, it can be easily changed to a different design. Further, the pictograms 33a are also left in the advertisement panel 33 and can be prepared for reuse, so that it is possible to save the trouble of securing a storage place and maintaining.

In the above-described embodiment, the case where the two types of pictograms 33a and 33b are printed on the advertisement panel 33 has been described. However, by appropriately setting the vertical dimension of the window 81a and the length of the advertisement panel 33 It is possible to print more than one kind of pictograms having different designs on the advertisement panel 33 to make the pictograms displayed from the window 81a more varied.

[0011]

According to the present invention, in a display device of a vending machine in which an advertising panel printed with pictograms for product advertising is installed facing a front surface of an outer door and equipped with a fluorescent lamp for illuminating the advertising panel, The advertising panel is formed as an endless belt in which pictograms of at least two types of patterns are printed in series, and a rotary roller that supports the advertising panel vertically so that it can run and a drive handle that rotates the rotary roller are provided. Therefore, when changing the pictograms for product advertisement displayed in the display room to different designs, it is possible to change them in a short time with an extremely simple operation. And the old one that has been replaced can be stored for posting again without requiring a storage place or extra trouble.
