DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a panel mounting device for an advertisement display device mounted on a main body cabinet of a vending machine such as a cigarette vending machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art First, an outline of an advertising display device of a vending machine described above is shown in FIG. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a main body cabinet of a cigarette vending machine, and 2 denotes an advertisement display device called a “topper” which is used by being placed on the top of the main body cabinet. The advertisement display device 2 includes an illumination lamp (fluorescent lamp). )
Advertisement display panel 5 also serving as a door on the front of outer box 4 containing 3
It becomes the structure which attached.

Here, the advertisement display panel 5 has a horizontally long box structure with the front and rear surfaces opened, and has a transparent plate 5a on the front surface thereof, and a film-like sheet on which advertisement characters and the like are arranged is displayed. Illuminated by the illuminating lamp 3 mounted on the outer box 4. Further, the advertisement display panel 5 is hingedly connected to the outer box 4 via through pins 6 which pass over the left and right side walls of the box body, and when the advertisement sheet is replaced, the panel body is connected to the outer box. 4 is mounted in such a manner that it can be flipped upside down so that maintenance work can be performed from the back side, and the mounting structure is inserted into the inner wall of a recess 4a formed on the front side of the outer box 4 as shown in FIG. Snap pins 7 are inserted into the left and right ends of the through pin 6 to prevent the through pin 6 from coming off.

[0004]

By the way, in the conventional structure in which the through pins 6 passing over between the advertisement display panel 5 and the outer box 4 are fixed by the snap pins 7, as shown in the above configuration, especially as shown in the drawing. If the place where the snap pin 7 is attached is very narrow, it is difficult for the worker to visually check the assembly process, and there is no room for free use of the hands, which makes the work difficult.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and has as its object to solve the above-mentioned problems, so that a through pin can be prevented from coming off and fixed by a simple operation without using a snap pin or the like which is cumbersome to mount. An object of the present invention is to provide a panel body mounting device improved as described above, and an advertisement display device of a vending machine employing the mounting device.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, a panel body mounting apparatus according to the present invention comprises a panel body having a box structure, which is externally connected to the panel body through through pins extending between left and right side walls thereof. In the mounting device mounted on the front of the box,
A locking piece is provided at the center of the shaft of the through pin, and a pin fixing tool having a locking hole formed on the plate surface for fitting the locking piece is provided, and both ends of the through pin passing through the panel body are provided on the side wall of the outer box. In the state where the panel body is mounted by being bridged, the locking piece is inserted into the locking hole of the pin fixing tool, and then the pin fixing tool is fixed to the panel body. (Claim 1) According to this configuration, it is troublesome to prevent the through pin from passing through the panel body at the time of assembly by inserting a hand into a narrow gap on the outer box side and inserting snap pins at both ends of the through pin as in the related art. No work is required, and it can be performed easily by putting a hand inside the panel body.

Further, the advertisement display device for a vending machine according to the present invention has an advertisement display panel having a rearward open box structure having a transparent plate on the front surface, and the advertisement display panel mounted on the front surface through through pins. And an outer box with a built-in illuminating lamp. Here, as a means for incorporating the advertisement display panel into the outer box, the above-described panel body mounting device is employed. (Claim 2) With this configuration, the assembling workability and work efficiency of the advertisement display device can be improved.

[0008]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to a merchandise advertisement apparatus of a vending machine shown in FIGS. In the drawings of the illustrated embodiment, the same members corresponding to FIGS. 3 and 4 are denoted by the same reference numerals. The product advertisement device 2 of the illustrated embodiment is basically the same as the conventional structure described with reference to FIG. 3, but differs in the following points. That is, in the configuration of the embodiment, the locking piece 8 projecting like a tongue piece is welded to the center of the shaft of the through pin 6, and further facing the locking piece 8, the inside of the advertisement display panel 5 is provided. Locking piece 8 on plate surface
A mounting seat 10 provided on the ceiling side of the panel 5 is provided with a pin fixing tool 9 serving also as a transparent plate retainer having an opening 9a for engaging with the transparent plate.
Is fixedly fastened with a screw 11.

With such a configuration, the advertisement display panel 5 is
Is assembled in the following procedure. First, the through pin 6 is inserted from the opening on the back surface side of the panel 5 having the box structure, and both ends are passed between pin holes 5 b opened on the side wall surface of the panel 5. Next, the panel 5 is fitted into the recess 4a formed on the front side of the outer box 4 from the front. In this state, the tip is inserted into the pin hole 4b opened in the side wall of the outer box 4 while sliding the through pin 6 right and left. The advertisement display panel 5 is erected. Next, the tip of the locking piece 8 provided on the through pin 6 is inserted into the locking hole 9 a of the pin fixing tool 9, and in this state, the pin fixing tool 9 is applied to the mounting seat 10 provided on the ceiling side of the panel 5. It is fastened with screws 11. As a result, the through pin 6 is restricted from moving left and right by the pin fixing seat 9, so that there is no possibility that the through pin 6 will fall out of the pin hole 4 b of the outer case 4.

The advertisement display device 2 is installed and used on the main cabinet 1 of a vending machine as shown in FIG. In addition, when maintenance work such as replacement of the advertisement sheet of the advertisement display panel 5 or replacement of the lighting 3 incorporated in the outer box 4 is performed in the state of being installed in the vending machine, advertisement display is performed using the through pin 6 as a support shaft. By flipping the panel 5 forward of the outer box 4 and inverting it, maintenance work can be performed with the advertisement display device 2 installed.

[0011]

As described above, according to the present invention,
The work of assembling the advertisement display panel, which is a box-shaped panel body, to the outer box via the through pin, can improve the workability particularly for preventing the through pin from coming off and the work efficiency.
