Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention is for tape recorders, car stereos, or VTRs.
This invention relates to a cassette tape display shelf used to display cassette tapes (not just tapes but tapes in boxes) for sale.

Conventionally, this kind of shelf has a flat plate with grid-like crosspieces and cassette tapes are placed in each grid, or a thin box-like case with cassette tapes arranged vertically in series and taken out from the bottom of the case. There are some configurations.

Conventional shelves not only make it troublesome to take out the required cassette tapes, but also make it difficult to see the display of recorded contents, and furthermore, there are no measures to prevent theft.

In view of the shortcomings of conventional shelves, the present invention aims to provide a cassette tape display shelf that is easy to place and take out cassette tapes, has an easy-to-see recording content display, and is equipped with a locking means. do.

Hereinafter, specific examples of the present invention will be explained based on the drawings.

1 to 4 show a first specific example of the shelf 1 of the present invention, which can be roughly divided into a support column 2, a pair of side members 3.4, a crosspiece member 5,
The stop member 7 and the locking means 8 are preferably made of a lightweight hard material such as aluminum alloy or synthetic resin.

The support column 2 has shaft portions 2a formed at both ends, and the shelf support is rotatably supported by a member 9.

The support column 2 is a hollow prismatic column, and a pair of side members 3 and 4 are vertically disposed at both ends of the prismatic portion.

The pair of side members 3 and 4 and the support column 2 constitute the outer frame of the shelf 1.

Each side member is a hollow prismatic column similar to the pillar 2, but may have a U-shaped cross section.

A plurality of crosspiece members 5 are arranged on the support 2 parallel to the side members 3 and 4 and perpendicular to the support, and each crosspiece is a member having a U-shaped cross section. The groove is large enough to accommodate the cassette tape 6, and a pair of crosspiece members arranged to face each other guide the insertion of the cassette tape and hold it for display.

5a is a cassette tape insertion formed by each pair of crosspiece members;
The entry/exit part for taking out is shown.

In the specific example shown in FIG. 1, each of the crosspiece members has a length that allows two cassette tapes 6 to be arranged in series in a pair of crosspiece members.

The lengths of the pillars 2 and the crosspiece members 5 are formed in accordance with the number of cassette tapes to be arranged, for example, one or two or more.

Note that the crosspiece member may be made of a shaped material.The stopper member 7 is to prevent the removal of the cassette tape placed between each pair of crosspiece members, and is a cassette tape entry/exit portion formed by the crosspiece member. 5a can be opened and closed, and the crosspiece member 5
It is a shaped material or a flat plate having approximately the same cross-sectional shape as the above, and has engaging portions 7a and 7 at both ends that engage with the side members 3 and 4, as shown in FIG.
b is spring wear or integrally formed.

This stop member 7 is preferably a transparent plastic plate.

A slit into which the engaging portion 7ay7b is inserted is formed on each opposing surface or side surface of each free end of the pair of side members 3 and 4.

Various methods can be considered for connecting the stop member 7 to the free ends of such side members.

For example, a slit 3at4a is formed on each opposing surface of the side members 3 and 4.
is formed, and after inserting the retaining part 7a into the slit 3a, the engaging part 7b is slid and inserted into the slit 4a, and the locking means 8 prevents the engaging part 5a, which has become shallowly engaged, from being removed. administer.

Alternatively, a slit is formed on the side surface of the side member 3,
After the engaging part 7b is inserted into the slit 4a, the engaging part 7a is inserted into the slit from the lateral direction of the side member 3, and is prevented from being removed by the locking means 8.

An example of the locking means 8 is shown in FIG.
A spindle 8C, which is pressed in one direction via a spring 8b and a pin (split pin or taper pin) 8e, is supported on a support stand 8a mounted inside the holder, and a hook part 8d is attached to one end of the spindle. The spindle 8C can be moved via the hook portion 8d by inserting a finger through the finger insertion window 3b formed in the side member 3.

On the other hand, a hole 7C is formed in the engaging portion 7a of the stop member 7, and the other end of the spindle 8C is inserted into the hole 7 to prevent the engaging portion 7a from coming off from the side member.

Further, the locking means 8 can be an existing lock such as a shironda lock or a padlock, and its installation can prevent unauthorized removal of the cassette tape, especially theft, by a person who does not know the location or the unlocking method.

5 and 6 show a second specific example of the shelf of the present invention, and the shelf 11 of this specific example is different from the shelf 1 of the first specific example in the attachment of the stopper member and the structure of the locking means. The configuration is almost the same.

Note that the same reference numerals are given to the constituent members of the shelf 11 that are similar to those of the shelf 1.

The stopper member 7 of the shelf 11 is a single U-shaped member,
It is rotatably connected to each of the side members 3 and 4 via hinges 12 and 12, and the stop member 7 can be rotated to open and close the entrance/exit portion 5a, as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. The cassette tape can be moved in and out between the crosspiece members 5.

The locking means 13 of the shelf 11 is a cylinder lock type lock,
By inserting and rotating the key, the locking tool 14 of the locking means rotates and is locked to the side wall of the side member 3, preventing rotation (movement in the opening direction) of the locking member 7 from the side member. prevent.

Of course, an insertion hole having substantially the same shape as the locking tool 14 is formed in the side wall of the side member 3.

In FIG. 5, reference numeral 15 denotes a stop for fixing the end of the stop member 7 on the side where the locking means 13 is not provided to the side member 4, and the stop member and the side wall of the side member to hold.

This stopper can be attached with a classification indication of the cassette tapes to be displayed within the shelf.

Note that a frame may be provided instead of this stopper.

The shelves 1 and 11 of the first and second embodiments facilitate the display and removal of cassette tapes, and can prevent theft.

An example of the use of the shelf of the present invention constructed as described above is shown in FIGS. 7 and 8.

In FIG. 7, a plurality of shelves 1 (or shelves 11) are arranged in series on a flat plate-like shelf support member 21, and the shelf support member 21 is attached to a wall or the like.

FIG. 8 shows that two disk-shaped shelf supports are attached to one shaft 23, and a plurality of shelves 11 (or 1) are arranged in a circular manner by the member 22, and the shaft 23 rotates on a display stand. Wear it freely.

Attachment 25 is a cushioning material.

As is clear from the above usage examples, the shelf of the present invention is configured such that the supports are vertically and rotatably arranged, and the cassette tapes on display are taken out by removing the stopper from the side. 1. It is extremely easy to take out the cassette tape, the recorded content display is easy to see, and theft can be prevented.
