JPS5939738Y2 - Vending machine cooling and heating display device - Google Patents

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a display device for indicating the distinction between chilled and heated products in an illuminated advertising section of a vending machine.

Generally speaking, vending machines that sell several types of canned beverages display product samples by placing sample cases inside the illuminated advertising section created at the top of the front front of the door. In the case of vending machines that can be used interchangeably, the same product can be heated depending on the season.

Since the products are sold chilled, in addition to displaying product samples, it is necessary to distinguish whether the products are heated or cooled.

Traditionally, this type of distinction has been used as "warm" or "warm".
This was done by installing an advertising board called a heating and cooling display board with a message such as "I want to cool down" inside the illuminated advertising section, and users changed the advertising board according to the switching between heating and cooling.

The present invention relates to an improvement of this type of heating/cooling display device, and an object thereof is to provide a heating/cooling display device whose cooling/warming display board is inexpensive and whose display can be easily switched.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 partially shows an illuminated advertising section of a vending machine that can be used by switching between a heating function and a cooling function. It is being created.

In the illuminated advertising section 2, the front surface of the display room 3 is transparent, and the upper part is covered with an illuminated advertising board 4 having a colored board surface with advertisement letters and the like.

Samples 5 of canned beverages, bottled beverages, etc. are arranged in the display room 3, and are illuminated by fluorescent lights (not shown) arranged above in the illuminated advertising section.

In the present invention, a transparent area 41 is formed in the colored portion of the illuminated advertising board 4, and a cold/hot distinction is displayed through this area 41.

FIG. 2 is a view of the main part of the present invention as seen from inside the illuminated advertising section. A cooling/heating display board mounting plate 6 is fixed with screws above the transparent area 41 using the ceiling surface. A display device is constituted by a heating/cooling display board 7 held by a heating/cooling display board 6 .

FIG. 3 is a view of the mounting plate 6 seen from the rear side, with one end folded back and a slit 61 provided in the folded part, and a screw hole 62
Bend the other end slightly as shown in Figure 2.
The slit 61 is positioned near the edge of the transparent area 41 when attached to the ceiling surface in the illuminated advertising section.

The length of the slit 61 is preferably slightly larger than the width of the heating/cooling display board 7.

FIG. 4 shows a cooling/heating display board 7, in which a plastic film with a size approximately equal to the sum of two transparent areas 41 in FIG. Characters to distinguish between heating and cooling, such as ``Cool'' and ``Warm'' on the other side, are printed on each side.

The display board 7 itself may be colorless, but it is preferably colored to make the characters stand out.

The installation of the cooling/heating display board 7 is carried out with reference to FIG. , here, if you insert the "tsumitai" with the front side and stop it at the position where the bent part is locked with the edge of the mounting plate 6, the surface to be displayed will be in the transparent area 41 as shown by the dashed line in the figure. The other surface facing the mounting plate 6 is supported by the bent portion of the mounting plate 6 so that it is supported in a substantially horizontal state.

As a result, the text "Tsumeitai" can be seen through the transparent area 41, and the other side is not visible.

When switching the display, pull out the heating/cooling display board 7 in the opposite direction to that described above, turn the other side to the front side, and insert the slit 61 again.
Just insert it into.

As described above, in the display device according to the present invention, it is very easy to change the display board, and since only one display board is required, it is inexpensive and there is no risk of losing it, and since it is a thin board, illumination light emitted from the rear can easily pass through. , improve the display effect by changing the coloring of the text and other parts, such as using a cool color background for the ``tight'' side and a warm color background for the ``warm'' side. You can do that.
