BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a product sample to be placed in a product display room of a vending machine for drinks.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, as a product sample of this type, a product specially manufactured for a display is used in consideration of appeal and the like. As a product sample like this,
For example, the one shown in FIG. 13 is generally known. This product sample 101 is installed in a cup-type vending machine, and has a label 102 on which a product design such as a product name and a maker name is displayed, and an external shape of the cup, and the label 102 is wrapped around the outer peripheral surface. And a cup-shaped base member 103 mounted. Both side ends of the label 102 are glued to the rear surface of the rear portion of the cup-shaped base member 103, and are fixed by adhesive tapes 104. In this case, since the product sample 101 is difficult to manufacture, the product sample 101 is manufactured in advance by the beverage providing manufacturer or the vending machine manufacturer, and is appropriately provided or exchanged according to the operator's request. Also, as a product sample with a similar configuration,
The one described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 1-123283 is known.

Further, in the above-mentioned product sample, a product sample must be provided for each type of beverage. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, the cup-shaped base member 1 is provided with an opening 41 on the side surface of the cup-shaped base member 16 and a common label 15 provided with a window 51 matching the opening 41.
It is known that the label card 17 wound around 6 and attached to the opening 41 in the cup-shaped base member 16 is attached. By replacing the label card 17, the cup-shaped base member 16 is not replaced. There is known a configuration in which the display of products can be changed.

[0004]

However, in the structure in which the product is displayed by the label card, since the label provided with the window wound around the surface of the cup-shaped base member is common, the appeal of the product is achieved. The degree becomes small. Therefore, depending on the product, we wanted to increase the appeal of the product.Therefore, we displayed the product by wrapping the window-less label, which is unique to the product, on the cup-shaped base member with an opening. Since the opening is provided, when the illumination is performed from the inside of the cup-shaped base member, a large amount of light is transmitted only to the opening portion, which causes uneven illumination.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and provides a product sample which can be displayed by a label card and can be displayed by a label and in which uneven illumination is not generated in the display by the label. It is an object.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the product sample of the present invention is a product sample in which light is irradiated from the inside of a decorative display inside a product display room of a vending machine, and has the outer shape of the product. A base member, an opening provided on a side surface of the base member, a label card which is detachably provided inside the base member and can be displayed through the opening, and the same material as the base member that closes the opening. It is provided with a configured lid member and a label on which a base member whose opening is closed by the lid member is wound to display a product.

[0007]

According to the product sample of the vending machine of the present invention,
By opening the opening of the base member and mounting the label card inside, the product can be displayed, and by replacing the label card, the displayed product can be easily changed. Further, by closing the opening of the base member with a lid member made of the same material as the base member and winding the label, the entire sample can be illuminated without unevenness.
