Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is a card attached to a front end face of a shelf plate in a display shelf installed in a store or a supermarket so that cards such as price tags and management labels of products can be attached. The present invention relates to wearing equipment.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a card mounting device of this type, the applicant of the present application discloses in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 5-86259 that a dovetail groove C is formed on the front surface of a shelf board B in a display shelf as shown in FIG. Paying attention to the fact that the dovetail groove C is used to attach the card mounting tool, the card mounting surface 11a is attached to the front surface.
The upper edge C of the dovetail groove C is formed on the back surface of the plate-shaped main body 11 on which
There has been proposed a card mounting device 10 in a form in which an upper engaging piece 12 having a short length that fits in 1 and a lower engaging piece 13 that fits in a lower end edge of a dovetail groove C are provided in a protruding manner.

However, since the mounting tool 10 is generally formed by extrusion molding of synthetic resin and has the same sectional shape over the entire length, both upper and lower locking pieces 1 as shown in FIG.
If the projecting dimensions of 2 and 13 are short, it is difficult to elastically deform the mounting tool 10, and therefore, mounting / removing to / from the dovetail groove C is difficult. Therefore, as a means for improving the ease of attachment / detachment to / from the dovetail groove C, the applicant of the present application, as shown in FIG. Projected top and bottom locking pieces 12, 1
The lower locking piece 13 of 3 is formed in a shape that is curved downward in a U shape in a side view, and the lower locking piece 13 is pushed downward against its elasticity to attach / detach to / from the dovetail groove C. Proposed a configuration to do.

[0004]

The invention of FIG. 10 is similar to that of FIG.
Although it can be attached and detached more easily than the above-mentioned one, there is a problem that it is troublesome to manufacture the lower locking piece 13 in a state where it is easily elastically deformed. That is, this wearing tool 1
When 0 is manufactured by extrusion molding of synthetic resin, the main body 11
Since it is necessary to mold a hard synthetic resin as a material, when the entire fitting 10 is extruded using a single synthetic resin as a material, the lower locking piece 13 can be largely bent from above. In order to achieve this, the thickness of the lower locking piece 13 must be made extremely thin. However, since there is a limit to the thickness that can be formed by the extrusion molding method, the thickness that can be easily deformed. It is difficult to form the lower locking piece 13 on the bottom.

Therefore, in order to form the lower locking piece 13 in such a thickness that it can be molded by the extrusion molding method and in a state where it can be easily deformed, only the locking piece 13 is made of a soft synthetic resin and coextrusion molding is performed. Method, it is necessary to integrally join the main body 11 and the lower locking piece 13 of different types to each other, which increases the manufacturing cost. An object of the present invention is to provide a card mounting device that can be easily attached to and detached from a shelf board in a form that can be manufactured by extrusion molding using a single type of synthetic resin.

[0006]

In order to achieve this object, the present invention provides "a plate-shaped main body arranged horizontally along a dovetail groove formed on the front surface of a shelf plate in a display shelf, While forming a card mounting surface on the front surface of the main body, an upper locking piece that fits and engages with the upper end of the dovetail groove and a lower engagement member that fits and engages with the lower end of the dovetail groove on the back surface of the body. In a display shelf card mounting tool provided with a stop piece, one or both of the upper engagement piece and the lower engagement piece are formed into a dovetail groove in a bifurcated shape with the main body in a side view. It is formed in a plate shape that extends toward the upper end or the lower end, and the main body is pressed from the front of the shelf plate toward the dovetail groove and separated from the tip of the plate by elastic deformation of the locking piece. The engaging portion that engages and disengages at the lower end is formed ".

[0007]

In this structure, for example, when only one of the upper and lower locking pieces is formed in a plate shape that extends long in a side view, the card mounting tool must first be attached to the dovetail groove of the shelf board. , The other locking piece should be fitted to the edge of the dovetail groove and the main body should be pressed against the dovetail groove in that state, and the plate-shaped locking piece should be elastic so that it approaches the back surface of the main body. Then, the engaging portion of the locking piece fits into and is engaged with the dovetail groove. When removing the card mounting tool from the shelf,
It suffices to pull the main body toward the front of the shelf plate and separate one of the locking pieces from the dovetail groove against its elasticity.

Further, when both the upper and lower locking pieces are formed in a plate shape that extends long in a side view, in order to attach the card mounting tool to the shelf board, first, one of the locking pieces is attached to the shelf board of the display shelf. , And then push the main body toward the dovetail groove in that state to deform the other locking piece against elasticity so as to approach the back surface of the main body. Just fit it in. When removing the card mounting tool from the shelf board, simply pull the main body forward of the shelf board and bend or deform one of the locking pieces against its elasticity to release the engagement with the dovetail groove. I should do it.

In any case, the plate-like locking piece extending in a forked shape with the main body in a side view is attached to the main body in a so-called cantilevered state in a side view. Is pressed from the front of the shelf toward the dovetail, or the main body is pulled away from the dovetail toward the front of the shelf to form the plate shape when engaging the engaging part of the locking piece with the dovetail. Since a large moment acts on the locking piece, even if the plate-shaped locking piece has a certain thickness or extends long in the longitudinal direction,
The locking piece can be easily elastically deformed.

As described above, according to the present invention, even when the locking piece extends over the entire length, it can be elastically deformed with a light force, and therefore, it is manufactured by extrusion molding using one kind of synthetic resin as a material. Even a card mounting tool can be easily attached to and removed from the shelf,
Therefore, there is an effect that it is possible to inexpensively manufacture a card mounting device that can be easily attached to and detached from the shelf board.

Further, when the engaging portion of the lower locking piece is formed in a downward U-shape as described in claim 2, the engaging portion and the lower end edge of the dovetail groove are fitted together. , It has an advantage that the card mounting device can be attached to the shelf without rattling. By the way, when a person looks at the cards mounted on each shelf of the display shelf, the cards mounted on the shelf located at the bottom of the display shelf are in a state of looking down from above, and conversely Cards mounted on the shelf plate located above Sasa are looked up from below.

Therefore, when attaching the card mounting device to the lower shelf, it is easy to see the cards when the card mounting surface is tilted backward, while the card mounting device is mounted on the shelf located above the display shelf. When attaching, the cards can be easily seen by raising the card mounting surface. However, since the conventional card mounting device has the same mounting attitude on each shelf, it has not been possible to make the cards easily visible on both the upper and lower parts of the display shelf.

On the other hand, according to the second aspect of the invention, since the lower locking piece extends in an inclined posture with respect to the main body,
The distance between the engaging portion at the tip of the lower locking piece and the main body becomes wider, so that the card mounting tool is attached to the shelf board in the normal posture in which the lower locking piece is engaged with the lower end of the dovetail groove. Then, the main body is largely tilted backward in a side view, so that the cards can be displayed on the shelf plate under the display shelf in an easily viewable state.

On the other hand, since the dovetail groove is formed in a vertically symmetrical shape, the card mounting device can be attached to the shelf board even when it is turned upside down, and thus the shelf is turned upside down. When mounted on a board, the space between the top edge of the dovetail groove and the main body widens, so the main body is in a forward-looking posture, so when installing the card mounting tool on the shelf board located at the top of the display shelf. The cards can be made easy to see by mounting them upside down.

Therefore, according to the second aspect, there is also an advantage that the cards can be easily mounted over the entire height of the display shelf with one type of the card mounting device.

[0016]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings (FIGS. 1 to 8).
It will be described based on. 1 to 4 show the first embodiment, in which a card mounting tool 1 has a card mounting surface 2a on the front surface.
The main body 2 has a flat plate-shaped body 2 and has a short projecting size upper locking piece 3 that engages with the upper edge C1 of the dovetail groove C on the shelf B and the dovetail groove C on the back surface of the body 2. The lower locking piece 4 that engages with the lower end edge C2 of the above is integrally provided.

The lower locking piece 4 is formed into a plate shape extending from the lower end of the main body 2 in an inclined shape so as to form a bifurcated shape (V-shape) with the main body 2 in a side view, so that the lower locking piece 4 has elasticity. It is formed so as to be able to narrow the gap with the main body 2 by deformation against it, and the tip of the lower locking piece 4 has a downward U-shaped engagement with which the lower end edge C2 of the dovetail groove C is fitted. The joining portion 4a is formed.

The card mounting surface 2a of the main body 2 has a shape in which uneven surfaces 2a "are formed on both sides of a smooth surface 2a '(see FIG. 2B). Grooves 5 are formed at the upper and lower ends so as to extend in a V shape with the card mounting surface 2a in a side view, and the cards D are inserted by the transparent plates 6 made of synthetic resin inserted into these grooves 5. The main body 2
The work clamp can be fixed to. Protrusions 7 are formed at the roots of the grooves 5 to prevent the transparent plate 6 from shifting.

The card mounting device 1 is formed in the same sectional shape over the entire length by extruding a single material synthetic resin. In the above configuration,
To attach the card mounting tool 1 to the shelf board A, as shown in FIG. 3, the upper locking piece 3 is fitted to the upper edge C1 of the dovetail groove C,
In that state, press the main body 2 toward the dovetail groove C,
The lower locking piece 4 is elastically deformed so as to approach the main body 2 and then restored, so that the engaging portion 4a of the lower locking piece 4 has a lower end edge C of the dovetail groove C.
As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG.
The card mounting device 1 is attached to the shelf board B.

When removing the card mounting device 1 from the shelf B, the lower locking piece 4 is elastically deformed by pinching the lower part of the main body 2 with a finger and pulling it toward you. The joining portion 4a may be separated from the lower engaging portion C2 of the dovetail groove C.
In such attachment / detachment of the card mounting device 1, since the lower locking piece 4 is attached to the main body 2 in a so-called cantilever state in a side view, the main body 2 is pressed toward the dovetail groove C, Alternatively, when an external force acts on the engaging portion 4a when pulling the main body 2 away from the dovetail groove C, the external force acts as a large moment on the lower engaging piece 4, so that the thickness of the lower engaging piece 4 is extruded. Even when the thickness is such that it can be molded by the molding method and the length of the main body 2 is long, the lower locking piece 4 can be easily elastically deformed.

Therefore, even if the card mounting device 1 is an inexpensive extruded product made of one kind of synthetic resin, it can be easily attached to and detached from the shelf board B. Further, since the engaging portion 4a of the lower locking piece 4 is formed in a downward U shape, the engaging portion 4a and the dovetail groove C K lower end edge C2 are fitted to each other, so that the cards are mounted. The tool 1 is attached to the shelf board B without play.

Since the lower locking piece 4 extends from the main body 2 in an inclined shape in a side view, in other words, since the distance between the engaging portion 4a and the main body 2 is wide, the lower locking piece 4 is formed as described above. When the lower end edge C2 of the dovetail groove C is engaged, the distance between the main body 2 and the lower end edge C2 of the dovetail groove B increases, so that the card mounting device 1 is tilted considerably backwards and the shelf board. It is attached to B. Therefore, even when it is attached to the lower shelf board B of the display shelf 1, the display of the cards D can be easily read.

On the other hand, when the card mounting device 1 is in a posture in which the card mounting device 1 is largely tilted backward, when the card mounting device 1 is attached to the high-height shelf B, the cards D are difficult to see. In this case, as shown in FIG. 4, it may be attached to the shelf board B in an upside down posture. In this case, the lower locking piece 4 engages with the upper edge of the dovetail groove C, and the dovetail groove C is engaged. By widening the gap between the upper edge C1 of C and the main body 2, the main body 2 is in a position in which the main body 2 is greatly raised, so that the display of the cards D can be made easy to see.

In the above-described embodiment, the upper end of the card mounting device 1 is set to be the same as or below the upper surface of the shelf board B, and the product is projected in front of the shelf board B. It is suitable for mounting. When the card mounting surface 2a is formed of the smooth surface 2a 'and the uneven surface 2a "as in the above embodiment, the smooth surface 2a' allows the card D to be easily peeled off when attached. On the other hand, due to the presence of the uneven surface 2a ″, the cards D are easily peeled off, and the adhesive applied to the release surface of the cards D is prevented from remaining on the cards mounting surface 2a.

FIG. 5 shows a second embodiment which is a modification of the first embodiment, in which the upper groove 5 is formed parallel to the card mounting surface 2a. , And that the card mounting surface 2a is formed up to the root of the lower groove 5. In the third embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the upper and lower locking pieces 3 and 4 are formed in long plate shapes, and engaging portions 3a and 4a having a U-shaped cross section are formed at the tips thereof.

Further, in the fourth embodiment shown in FIG. 7, the lower engaging piece 4 is manually formed so as to extend downward from the upper engaging piece 3. The fourth embodiment shown in FIG. The stop piece 3 is formed in a hook shape with a short length, while the lower locking piece 4 is formed in a plate shape extending downward from the vicinity of the upper locking piece 3. The present invention is suitable for molding by extrusion molding using one kind of synthetic resin as the material, but the locking piece and the main body can be molded by coextrusion of the synthetic resin made of different materials. Can also be applied to. Further, the locking piece may be manufactured separately from the main body and fixed to the back surface of the main body (in this case, the upper and lower locking pieces may be partially provided along the longitudinal direction of the main body. good).
