Abstract

PURPOSE: To enable a producer to sell egg packs in a shop, and to eliminate the removal of containers, by folding a loading shelf in such a way that an upper bent part is bent upward and a lower bent part is bent downward. CONSTITUTION: Egg pack T-positioning protrusions 3C for preventing egg packs from positionally deviating are projected from the upper surface of a loading shelf, at positions where the protrusions fitted in recesses of the egg packs T. An upper bent part 3A is located at a position forward of the rear end edge of the shelf 3, and an intermediate panel 3 inclined rearward, is folded into the upper stage loading shelf 3 without forwardly falling down. Accordingly, it does not hinder the loading of the egg packs T onto the lower stage shelf. The distance between the upper bent part 3A and the rear end edge is shorter than the overall length of the egg pack T. In the folded condition, a part of each of the egg packs T is projected forward from the rear panel 3, and accordingly, the egg packs T laid in the rear row can be taken out. When all of the topmost stage egg packs are sold out, the loading shelf 3 is folded, and the front panel 3C is coupled to the intermediate panel 3 through the intermediary of a lower bent part 3B so that the height of the loading shelf 3 is lowered in the folded condition.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a transportation display truck used for stacking and transporting a large number of egg packs and for displaying and selling the eggs at a store.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Currently, eggs are transported as described below and sold at supermarkets and other stores. (1) The producer packs eggs. (2) Arrange the egg packs in the shipping container. (3) The containers in which the egg packs are arranged are stacked in multiple stages on the transportation table. The transportation platform is a horizontal bottom plate with running wheels and handles fixed on it, and containers are stacked directly on top of each other. (4) A transportation platform is mounted on a truck and is transported from the producer to a store such as a supermarket. (5) Remove the transport platform from the truck, and the supermarket employee transships the transport platform to the over-the-counter platform.
The table for sale has a shelf on which a container containing an egg pack is placed. Containers containing egg packs are placed on shelves and stacked on a table for sale.

[0003]

As described above, the conventional table for transporting or displaying egg packs is not limited to the table for the production vehicle to load and transport the egg packs in the container, but the table for over-the-counter sales. I had to change it. The transportation table has a structure in which the containers containing egg packs are stacked directly on top of each other so that it can be transported efficiently, and the containers for sales are stacked with the containers containing egg packs on a shelf for the convenience of sale. This is because it has a structure. Egg sales at supermarkets are quite high. For example, one supermarket can sell several 4-ton trucks a day. Therefore, it takes much time and effort to transfer the egg packs from the transportation stand to the selling stand.

Further, in the conventional egg vending machine, egg packs are put in containers and stacked on shelves. Vending machines of this construction require empty containers to be removed from the shelves when the containers are out of egg packs. This is because the egg pack cannot be taken out from the lower container if there is an empty container. For this reason, the actual situation is that the clerk takes a look around and removes the empty container when the egg pack is sold. However, the table for sale is stored in a shelf where the container can be pulled out so that the egg pack can be taken out from the lower container without removing the empty container. This is because you can pull out the container from the shelf and take out the egg pack. However, with an empty container on top, it is not easy to pull the container out of the lower shelf and remove the egg pack. Therefore, in reality, if an empty container is formed on the upper side, the egg pack in the lower level container cannot be sold almost without exception.

Further, in the conventional sales stand, since the egg pack is put in the container and placed on the shelf, there is a drawback that the container which is emptied and removed from the stand becomes an obstacle in a narrow storefront. When the clerk carried it out so as not to get in the way, the number was quite large,
Moreover, since it is necessary to carry it out frequently, there is a drawback that it is extremely troublesome.

The present invention was developed for the purpose of solving these conventional drawbacks. An important object of the present invention is that the egg pack can be sold over the counter without being replaced, and even if the egg pack sells, it is not necessary to remove the container,
The purpose is to provide a transportation display cart of egg packs that can save eggs significantly and sell eggs efficiently.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, an egg pack transportation and display trolley of the present invention has the following configuration. An egg pack transportation display trolley comprises a bottom body 1 having traveling wheels 4, columns 2 fixed vertically on both sides of the bottom body 1, and horizontally arranged in multiple stages between the columns 2. A loading shelf 3 for loading egg packs in multiple stages.

Further, the shelf 3 has an egg pack positioning convex portion 3C projecting from the upper surface so that the egg pack is directly placed on the upper surface so as not to be displaced. Also, the shelf 3 can be folded to remove the lower egg pack when the egg pack is sold out, as shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3, it has an upper bent portion 3A and a lower bent portion 3B which are located between the rear edge and the front edge and are parallel to the rear edge and the front edge. The lower bent portion 3B is located on the front edge side of the upper bent portion 3A, the upper bent portion 3A is forward of the rear end of the mounting shelf 3, and the lower bent portion 3B is of the front end edge of the mounting shelf 3. Is also located behind. The upper bent portion 3A is upward, and the lower bent portion 3 is
B is bent downward to fold the shelf 3, and the lower shelf 3
It is configured so that the egg pack placed on can be taken out.

[0009]

The egg cart transporting display cart of the present invention transports and sells egg packs as follows. (1) The bottom shelf 3 is leveled, the other shelves 3 are folded, and the egg packs T are stacked on the bottom shelf 3. When the egg packs T are stacked on the lowermost shelf 3, the upper shelf 3 is folded so that the egg packs T are not obstructed. The bottom shelf 3 has, for example, 5
A total of 50 packs of egg packs T are stacked by stacking 10 packs in one stack. The egg pack T contains five eggs in two cases. As shown in FIG. 4, the elongated egg pack T is extended in the front-rear direction and stacked on the loading shelf 3.

(2) When 50 packs of egg packs T are placed on the lowermost shelf 3, the second shelf 3 from the bottom is made horizontal from the folded state, and this shelf 3 also has 50 packs. Egg pack T
Put. Then, the egg racks T are placed one after another with the upper shelves 3 being horizontal. The egg pack transportation display cart shown in the figure is capable of stacking 200 egg packs in total by stacking the egg packs T on four shelves and 2,000 eggs.

(3) The transportation and display cart on which the egg pack T is placed on the shelf 3 is placed on a truck or the like and transported from the producer to a store such as a supermarket. At the retail store, the product is directly moved to the storefront for sale.

(4) At the store, the egg packs T placed on the uppermost shelf 3 are sold one after another. When the 50 packs of egg packs T loaded on the top are sold, the top shelf 3 is folded. The shelf 3 to be folded is folded by folding the upper bent portion 3A upward and the lower bent portion 3B downward. The loading shelf 3 folded in this state is inclined rearward as shown in FIG. 4, so that it does not fall forward. The folding of the placing rack 3 is easy, so that the customer can lift and fold the placing rack 3. However, the store staff can also fold it. In the egg pack transportation and display trolley of the present invention, the lower egg pack T can be taken out with the loading rack 3 folded, so that it is not necessary to remove an empty container as in the conventional case.

(5) When the egg packs T on the loading rack 3 are sold, the lower loading racks 3 are folded one after another and all the egg packs T loaded on the loading rack 3 are sold.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. However, the examples shown below exemplify an egg pack transportation display trolley for embodying the technical idea of the present invention, and the present invention does not specify the egg pack transportation display trolley to the following. .

Further, in this specification, for easy understanding of the claims, the numbers corresponding to the members shown in the embodiments are referred to as "claims column", "action column", and "action column". It is added to the members shown in the section of "Means for Solving the Problems". However, the members shown in the claims are
It is by no means specific to the members of the examples.

The egg pack transportation display truck shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has a bottom body 1 having traveling wheels 4, columns 2 fixed vertically on both sides of the bottom body 1, and between the columns 2. Shelving 3 which is arranged horizontally in multiple stages to load egg packs T in multiple stages
With.

The bottom body 1 is formed by fixing a plate member on a frame body in which metal angles and rods are connected in a rectangular shape.
The size of the bottom body 1 is, for example, 10 egg packs arranged in a row, the width is 556 mm, and the depth is 496.
mm. However, in the egg pack transportation display cart of the present invention, since the number of stored egg packs is not specified, the size of the bottom body 1 is designed to be an optimum value in consideration of the number of stored egg packs. Elongated egg packs containing 10 eggs are lined up in front and back. Therefore, the width of the bottom body 1 is designed to be an integral multiple of the width of the egg pack, and the depth of the bottom body 1 is designed to be substantially equal to the integer multiple of the length of the egg pack.

At the four corners of the bottom body 1, traveling wheels 4 which swing or do not swing are mounted. The traveling wheel 4 that swings has a feature that the transportation exhibition cart can be conveniently moved in any direction. Further, if the traveling wheel 4 having a stopper mechanism (not shown) is used, there is a feature that the traveling wheel 4 can be easily stopped at the moved position.

In the transportation display cart shown in the figure, columns 2 are vertically fixed to the four corners of the bottom body 1. Both sides of the pillar 2 are side plates 5
The back surface is closed by the back plate 6. The front surface and the upper surface of the pillar 2 are open. In the transportation display cart shown in the figure, the pillar 2 is composed of four metal pillars. However, the transportation display truck of the present invention does not specify the pillar as the pillar. For example, plate members may be fixed on both sides of the bottom body to form plate-shaped support columns.
The plate-shaped support may be a metal plate, a plastic plate, a wooden plate, or the like, but the metal plate is most suitable in consideration of strength and durability. The transportation display trolley in which both sides and the back of the bottom are closed by plate materials has the feature that the egg packs can be reliably stacked on the shelf so that they do not collapse. However, columnar columns may be fixed to the four corners of the bottom body so that both sides and the back surface are not blocked. The transport display cart with this structure can also take out egg packs from both sides.

The mounting shelves 3 are provided in three stages between the columns 2 on both sides. The loading shelves 3 on each level are separated by an interval that allows the egg packs T to be stacked in five levels, and for example, the upper and lower pitches are 3
It is 10 mm and is arranged between the columns 2.

The shelf 3 can place the egg pack T in a fixed position, and the egg pack T is prevented from being displaced.
The positioning convex portion 3C of the egg pack T is provided so as to project on the upper surface. The mounting shelf 3 shown in the figure is provided with a convex strip extending in the lateral direction to form a positioning convex portion 3C. The positioning projection 3C shown in this figure has a ridge having a triangular cross-sectional shape. The positioning protrusion 3C which is a ridge is arranged at a position where it can be fitted into the recess of the egg pack T. The shelf 3 shown in FIG. 1 is provided with five rows of positioning convex portions 3C on one stage. The five positioning protrusions 3C include one row between the egg packs T in the front row and the back row, and two rows of the positioning protrusions 3C in the recesses of the egg packs T in the front row and the back row.
Is arranged. The positioning convex portion 3C shown in the figure prevents the egg pack T of the loading rack 3 from being displaced forward and backward, and arranges the egg pack T in a fixed position. Although not shown, the positioning protrusions may be extended in the vertical and horizontal directions to prevent the egg pack from shifting in the vertical and horizontal positions.

When there are no more egg packs placed on the loading rack 3, as shown in FIG. 4, the loading rack 3 can be folded and the egg pack T can be taken out from the loading rack 3 in the lower stage. The shelf 3 is located between the rear edge and the front edge and has an upper bent portion 3A and a lower bent portion 3B. Upper bend 3
A and the lower bent portion 3B are connected so that three metal plates can be bent upward or downward so that they can be bent parallel to the rear edge and the front edge.

The loading shelf 3 shown in FIG. 4 is formed by connecting three metal plates including a rear plate 3a, an intermediate plate 3b and a front plate 3c so that they can be bent upward or downward via hinges. There is. The intermediate plate 3b is connected to the rear plate 3a via the upper bent portion 3A, and the front plate 3c is connected to the intermediate plate 3b via the lower bent portion 3B. 3 metal plates are connected by a hinge, and the shelf 3
Is a lower bent portion 3B connecting the front plate 3c and the intermediate plate 3b.
Is an upper bent portion 3A connecting the intermediate plate 3b and the rear plate 3a.
It is located closer to the front edge than. The reason why the upper bent portion 3A is located forward of the rear end edge of the mounting shelf 3 is to fold the intermediate plate 3b and the front plate 3c with a slight rearward inclination, as shown in FIG. The intermediate plate 3b inclined rearward is stably held in a folded state without falling forward. Therefore, when taking out the egg pack T from the lower stage,
The fall of the intermediate plate 3b can be eliminated. The distance between the upper bent portion 3A and the rear edge of the shelf 3 is set shorter than the entire length of the egg pack T so that the egg packs T arranged in the rear row can be taken out in a state where the shelf 3 is folded. This is because part of the egg pack T is projected forward of the rear plate 3a in the folded state.

Further, in the mounting shelf 3, the lower bent portion 3B is located rearward of the front end edge of the mounting shelf 3 by connecting the front plate 3c to the intermediate plate 3b. Thus, the intermediate plate 3b
The reason why the front plate 3c is connected to the front plate 3c via the lower bent portion 3B is to reduce the height of the mounting shelf 3 in the folded state. The vertical interval between the loading shelves 3 arranged above and below is determined by the number of stages of the egg packs T stacked on the loading shelf 3. When the egg packs T are stacked higher than 5 levels, the eggs in the lower level are more likely to break due to the weight of the upper eggs. Therefore, the preferred stacking number of egg packs T is 5 or less. The vertical pitch of the loading shelves 3 for stacking the egg packs T in five layers is about 310 mm. On the other hand, the depth of the shelf 3 on which the egg packs T can be arranged front and back is about 500 mm. The shelf 3 having a depth of 500 mm includes the intermediate plate 3b and the front plate 3c, which are bent downward 3
By connecting it flexibly via B, 310 mm
It can be folded between the shelves 3. Therefore, the intermediate plate 3
The shelves 3 connecting the b and the front plate 3c in a freely bendable manner via the lower bent portions 3B, the egg packs T are stacked in five stages with almost no space between the shelves 3, and the front and back of the shelves 3 are stacked. Egg packs T can be placed in two rows, and the shelf 3 can be folded between them.

In the loading rack 3 shown in the figure, the upper edge of the front plate 3c is bent upward to form an inclined surface 7. The inclined surface 7 has a shape that follows the front surface of the egg pack T to be placed on the loading shelf 3.
To prevent misalignment. Furthermore, the shelf 3 with the inclined surface 7
Has a feature that it can be easily leveled by grasping the inclined surface 7 in the folded state.

The shelf 3 shown in the figure has a structure in which it can be bent at two places, an upper bent portion 3A and a lower bent portion 3B. However, in the transportation and display trolley of the present invention, it is possible to fold the shelves at two or more places, for example, four places.

In order to horizontally support the mounting shelf 3 between the columns 2, horizontal rods 8 are fixed inside the columns 2 on both sides. The horizontal rod 8 projects inward from the column 2 and
It is fixed to. The rear plate 3a is fixed to the horizontal rod 8, and the intermediate plate 3b and the front plate 3c are not fixed, but placed on the horizontal rod 8. By fixing the rear plate 3a to the horizontal rod 8, it is possible to prevent displacement of the mounting shelf 3. However, it is also possible to mount the horizontal rod 8 on the entire shelf 3 without fixing the rear plate 3a to the horizontal rod 8.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The egg pack transporting display cart of the present invention can be sold by loading a large number of egg packs on a rack so as not to break the container without using a container. Further, when the egg packs on the shelves are sold, the transportation display cart for egg packs of the present invention folds the shelves so that the egg packs loaded under the shelves can be taken out. Therefore, the egg pack transportation display trolley of the present invention is such that the egg producer directly stacks the egg packs on the shelves without storing the egg packs in the container and tracks the egg pack loaded transportation display trolleys. It can be used as a sales stand by transporting it to the store and moving it to the store without reloading the egg pack from the transported display cart. For this reason, there is a feature that the labor for re-loading a large number of egg packs can be significantly saved.

Further, the transportation and display trolley of the present invention can be directly loaded on the loading rack without putting the egg pack in the container. Moreover, since the loading rack can be folded and the lower egg pack can be taken out, the egg pack can be loaded without forming a gap between the loading rack and the loading rack. The use of containers and the ability to load egg packs without gaps between the shelves synergize with each other, and the transportation and display trolley of the present invention realizes the feature of effectively loading a large number of egg packs.

Furthermore, the transportation display cart for egg packs of the present invention has the features that the egg packs can be easily taken out from below the folded shelves and that the folded shelves can be prevented from falling in a stable posture. That is, in the transportation and display cart of the present invention, a portion of the mounting shelf located forward from the rear edge is defined as an upper bent portion, is positioned below the upper bent portion, and is positioned rearward of the front edge. This is because the portion is the downward bent portion. The shelf having this structure can be folded by bending the rear part upward and the front part downward. Therefore, in the folded state, it does not fall down in a posture inclining rearward, and further, the upper side of the loading rack is wide open to facilitate taking out the egg pack below.

Further, since the egg pack transportation / exhibition trolley of the present invention is provided with the positioning projection on the upper surface of the shelf, the egg pack to be loaded can be stably loaded at a fixed position without displacement. For this reason, when the transportation display truck is transported by a truck or moved at a store or the like, it is possible to effectively prevent the egg pack from collapsing and breaking the eggs.
