Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an in-store shopping basket mainly provided in stores such as department stores, supermarkets, and shopping centers.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, in a store such as a department store, a supermarket, or a shopping center, an arbitrary product displayed on the store is selected so that a purchaser can use it in the store until the product is settled at a cash register. A dedicated shopping basket is provided.

This in-store shopping basket is generally provided with a pair of handles for holding the inverted trapezoidal car body at the upper opening side, and when these handles are not required, the upper opening of the car body is opened. After being pushed down to the peripheral side of the part, the cars are stacked compactly by stacking the cars one on top of the other. In addition, a large number of net holes are formed on the side and bottom surfaces of the car body, which facilitates the presence and identification of the products stored in the car body and at the same time achieves the weight reduction of the entire car body. There is.

[0004]

By the way, a large number of posters and sticker-like advertising media are provided in the stores such as department stores, supermarkets and shopping centers as described above in order to visually promote sales of new products and the like. However, since the space for installing the advertising media is limited in these stores, many advertising media cannot be installed at the same time. For this reason, it is possible to increase the advertising space for installing such an advertising medium in the store, but if this happens, problems such as mischievously impairing the aesthetics of the store and requiring a lot of cost for renovation will occur. Therefore, there has been considered a method of using the in-store shopping basket as described above and attaching a seal-like advertising medium to the side surface of the car body to obtain a large advertising effect at low cost. As described above, since a large number of mesh holes are punched in the car body, if a seal-shaped advertising medium is directly attached to this, a part of the seal surface will be exposed from the mesh hole to the inner surface of the car. In addition to sticking to the product in the basket part, the adhesive area becomes smaller and the adhesive force becomes weaker, so that there is the inconvenience of easy peeling.

Therefore, recently, a shopping cart has been proposed in which a flat surface is formed on the side plate or side wall of the car body and an advertisement sticker displaying an advertisement is attached to the flat surface. . By the way, this advertisement sticker is designed to be replaced with a new one for a fixed period of time, for example, every month, but the replacement work, particularly the work of peeling off the old advertisement sticker, has not been easy. In other words, this advertisement seal is made of a relatively strong material so that it will not be easily broken or peeled off in order to maintain its advertisement effect for a certain period of time, and at the same time it is firmly attached, so that the old advertisement seal is In order to peel off, it is necessary to use a peeling tool such as a cutter or a scraper, and there is a problem that the tool causes an injury or scratches the sticking surface. Further, since this replacement work is performed for all the advertisement stickers at substantially the same time, a lot of labor is required for the work. Therefore, it is possible to weaken the sticking force of the advertisement sticker or reduce the adhesion area to make it easier to peel off beforehand, but then the advertisement sticker will easily peel off due to rubbing etc. when the car bodies are stacked. A new problem arises in that the original function cannot be exhibited for a predetermined period.

Therefore, the present invention has been devised to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object thereof is to easily replace the advertisement seal and to easily remove the advertisement seal during normal use. Not to provide a new in-store shopping basket.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is an in-store shopping product which is exclusively used in a store such as a supermarket or a shopping center, and is housed by stacking baskets in a vertically multi-tiered manner when not in use. In the car, a flat advertisement display area for pasting an advertisement sticker that describes the advertisement content is formed on the side plate that partitions and forms the car body, and the advertisement sticker is centered in the approximate center of this advertisement display area. A peeling hole for tearing and peeling from the part is formed.

As a result, the work of peeling off the advertisement seal attached to the advertisement display area is facilitated, and it is not necessary to use a peeling tool such as a cutter or a scraper that may damage the car body.

Further, by providing a ridge portion along the periphery of the advertisement display area, the advertisement seal is provided even when the side plates slide on each other when the car bodies are stacked in a vertical multistage manner. It is not peeled off from the peripheral portion, and the initial advertising effect can be maintained for a predetermined period.

Further, by forming a large number of air vent holes in this advertisement display area, when the advertisement seal is attached, the air between them is extracted from this air hole to the side opposite to the advertisement display area, and the advertisement seal is created. Can be attached to the advertisement display area neatly.

[0011]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Next, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of an in-store shopping basket according to the present invention. As shown in the figure, this shopping basket has four side plates 2 having a plurality of mesh holes 1 ...
A pair of grips 4 for gripping the car body 3 are foldably attached to an upper opening of the car body 3 composed of 2, 2, 2 and a bottom plate (not shown). Also,
This car body 3 is formed in an inverted trapezoidal shape that gradually narrows from the upper opening side toward the bottom plate (not shown) side, and it is made compact by stacking other car bodies (not shown) in the upper and lower stages. It is supposed to be housed.

In addition, in the substantially central portion of each of the side plates 2, 2, 2 and 2 which define and form the car body 3, adjacent predetermined mesh holes 1 are formed.
... A flat advertisement display area 5 is formed so as to continuously close each other in a rectangular shape. One side or both sides of this advertisement display area 5 have advertisement contents on the surface thereof as shown in FIG. The described substantially rectangular advertisement seal 6 is detachably attached.

As a result, it becomes possible to effectively use the side plate 2 of the car body 3 which has conventionally been wasted as an advertising medium, and a flat advertisement display is made on the side plate 2 having the mesh holes 1 ,. Since the area 5 is formed and the advertisement sticker 6 is attached to the area 5, the sticking force of the advertisement sticker 6 is improved to prevent accidental peeling, and the advertisement effect can be maintained for a certain period of time. .

Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, a ridge portion 7 having a semicircular cross section is provided on the periphery of the advertisement display area 5.
Is formed so as to surround the advertisement sticker 6 in a rectangular shape, and prevents accidental peeling of the advertisement sticker 5 attached to the advertisement display area 5. That is,
As described above, since the car body 3 to which the advertisement sticker 6 is attached is housed in the vicinity of the cash register and the like in a vertically stacked manner when not in use, the car body 3 becomes unnecessary. As shown in FIG. 3, when the sheets are stacked or when the stacked cage bodies 3 are removed, the advertisement sticker 6 attached to the advertisement display area 5 slides and rubs directly with the cage body 3 below, Although it may be peeled from the peripheral portion, as described above, by providing the raised portion 7 on the peripheral portion of the advertisement display area 5, the advertisement seal 6 is prevented from directly contacting another car body. This is because the peeling of the advertisement sticker 6 from the peripheral portion is prevented. It should be noted that such a raised portion 7 can be omitted by making the surface portion of the advertisement display area 5 concave, but in that case, the plate thickness of the advertisement display area 5 becomes thin and the strength of the car body 3 decreases. Therefore, such a configuration is not preferable.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, an elliptical peeling hole 8 is formed in a substantially central portion of the advertisement display area 5. This peeling hole 8 is for easily peeling off the advertisement sticker 6 attached to the advertisement display area 5. As shown in the drawing, a stick body such as a finger or a pen is inserted and the peeling hole 8 is attached so as to close the peeling hole 8. The attached advertisement sticker 6 can be torn from the central portion thereof and peeled off toward the peripheral portion. That is, the advertisement sticker 6 is replaced at regular intervals, for example, every two weeks to one month, but as described above, the advertisement sticker 6 is raised so as not to come off at the peripheral portion thereof. Since the part 7 is formed,
It is not easy to peel off the already attached advertisement seal 6 from the peripheral portion thereof. Therefore, by forming the peeling hole 8 in the substantially central portion of the advertisement display area 5 as described above, when the old advertisement seal 6 is peeled off, it can be easily peeled from the central portion. At this time, the shape of the peeling hole 8 is not limited to the elliptical shape as shown in the drawing, but it is formed in a triangular shape or a rectangular shape in order to prevent injury when the advertisement seal 6 is broken with a finger. It can be said that it is more preferable to form the ellipse or the circle. Also,
At this time, if the entire back surface of the advertisement sticker 6 is used as an adhesive surface, the surface positioned in the peeling hole 8 is exposed, and there is the inconvenience that dust and products adhere to it. Therefore, as shown in FIG. It is more preferable to bond only the periphery of 8, for example, only the shaded portion in the drawing.

As described above, according to the present invention, the flat advertisement display area 5 and the raised portion 7 are formed on the side plate 2 that defines the car body 3, and the advertisement seal 6 is attached to the raised portion 7. The in-store shopping basket, which has not been used before, can be effectively used as an advertising medium, and a large advertising effect can be obtained. Also, the advertisement display area 5
By forming the peeling hole 8 in the substantially central part of the, the old advertisement seal 6 can be easily peeled with bare hands without using a dangerous peeling tool such as a cutter or a scraper, and the car body can be peeled off. When the upper and lower plates are stacked one on top of the other, even if the side plates slide against each other, the advertisement seal does not easily peel off, and the advertising effect from the beginning can be maintained for a certain period of time.

In the above-described embodiment, the advertisement display area is provided in the substantially central portion of the side plate and is formed in a rectangular shape. However, the formation position, size or shape depends on the size and shape of the advertisement sticker to be attached. Needless to say, it may be appropriately changed depending on the situation. Further, not only the outer surface of the advertisement display area but also the inner surface of the advertisement seal 6 may be attached, and a raised portion 7 for preventing peeling may be provided on the peripheral portion thereof, or one or two side plates. The advertisement display area may be provided only in the above-mentioned manner, and the aspect thereof is not limited to the above-mentioned aspect. Further, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, if a plurality of air vent holes 9 such as small holes 9a and slits 9b are formed in the advertisement display area 5, the advertisement seal 6
At the time of pasting, since the air that has accumulated between them passes through these air vent holes 9 and escapes in the opposite direction, the advertisement sticker 6 can be easily and neatly pasted without requiring a particularly high degree of skill. At the same time, the weight of the entire car body 3 can be expected to be reduced by the amount of the air vent hole.

[0019]

In summary, according to the present invention, the advertisement seal can be easily replaced, and the attached advertisement seal hardly peels off, so that the advertisement effect from the beginning can be maintained for a certain period of time.
