Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] This invention relates to product price tags displayed on products displayed in supermarkets and various shops, etc. A window hole of a certain standard is provided in one main plate, and a tape is rotated from the back side of the window hole. This system allows product price display functions based on formulas to be combined as a unit, and is intended to standardize and simplify operations and manufacturing associated with changing product prices.

The details will be explained below with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings.

In Figures 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a unit case consisting of a box frame with the front side open.
, 3 are pivotally supported.

4 is a tape with numbers from O to 9 and units etc. displayed on its surface, and one end is wrapped around the upper winding shaft 2 and the other end is wound around the lower winding shaft 3 so that it can be wound from either the top or the bottom. be.

The tape 4 is made of vinyl, paper, etc. and has a constant width, and is thin and strong.

It may also be endless.

The winding shafts 2 and 3 are mounted on bearings l protruding from the back plate of the case 1.
The unit case 1 is rotatably supported by rotary knobs 5 and 6 (or handles 5' and 6') that protrude outward from the unit case 1, thereby allowing the unit case 1 to be rotated.

8 is a main plate, and a window hole 7 through which the price of the tape 4 can be seen is provided on its surface.

A transparent plate 7a may be fitted into the window hole 7.

A retaining portion 9 is provided on the back side of the main plate 8 to connect the unit case 1 together, and this engages the open side edge 10 of the case 1 to removably connect both 1 and 8.

In addition to the example shown in the drawings, there are other fitting methods, hook methods, etc., and an appropriate method is used.

The window hole 7 of the main plate 8 is opened to a constant size according to the unit case 1 regardless of the size and shape of the main plate 8, and a display section 11 as shown in FIG. will be established.

Advertising characters such as product names and special prices, symbols 9, etc. can be handwritten or printed on the display section 11 as necessary, or the auxiliary plate 12 can be inserted into the inset section 13 in a replaceable manner as shown in FIG. good.

Figure 3 shows the product price numbers and their units separately in windows 7 and 7.
This figure shows the case where it can be seen through from .

FIG. 5 shows a case where the tape 4 is fed by meshing gears 2a, 3a with row holes 4a at both ends of the tape.

FIG. 6 shows a case where the rotation of the winding shafts 2, 3 is performed via the rotary knobs 5.6 and interlocking gears 5a, 5a.

When the rotary knobs 5, 6 or handles 5', 6' are rotated in one direction, each winding shaft 2, 3 rotates individually, so the tape 4 is freely wound in the winding direction and the desired value is drawn from the window hole 7. This is what is displayed.

Conventionally, it was known that the number on the tape was exposed through a window hole in the main plate so that the number could be changed, but because the main plate and the mechanical part were integrally connected so that they could not be separated, the main plate cannot be replaced, and therefore, if the display part of the main board displays promotional advertisements, special product names, etc., and needs to be changed for the customer's convenience, the entire display part must be replaced with another one, or the display part must be replaced. had to be rewritten, which had the disadvantage of not being able to respond easily and quickly.

In the present invention, a tape 4 displaying a product price is wrapped around a shaft 2,
3 Unit case 1 that can be freely wound between each other
are removably connected and configured so that the price of the tape 4 can be seen through the window hole 7 of the main plate 8. With this configuration, for example, various displays can be displayed on the display section 11 for one unit case. Alternatively, if a plurality of main plates 8 of different sizes or shapes are prepared, the unit case 1 can be selectively attached to the necessary main plates. It is convenient and quick to respond, and in terms of manufacturing, only the mechanical parts that can be commonly attached to all types of main plates can be manufactured as a unit, so standardization is unified, which is advantageous in terms of manufacturing.

Furthermore, since a series of mechanisms such as the winding shaft 2, 3 and tape 4 are built into the unit case 1, it can be isolated from the outside, thereby preventing it from being tampered with, or from hitting other objects and moving around without permission. can be expected to have practical effects such as being able to protect the internal mechanism from dirt and dust.
