Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention is based on the price of products sold in vending machines,
Concerning improvements to display devices for product names, etc.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, there has been a display device for displaying product prices in cigarette vending machines, etc., as described in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 53-49494.

A sample see-through window is installed at the top of the front of the case door of the vending machine case, and inside this sample see-through window there is a sample shelf on which multiple samples are placed side by side, and below this sample shelf there is a sample shelf where multiple samples are placed horizontally. A plurality of display plates for displaying the price of the sample were provided on the display stand in the horizontal direction so as to correspond to the upper and lower phases of each sample.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, the conventional display stand has a groove shape that opens upward, and the display plate is inserted into the groove from above. The structure of the display stand was complicated.

Therefore, it is conceivable to construct the display stand with an iron plate or the like and attach a magnetic display plate to it from the front side, but although this is structurally simple, the display plate may not move due to vibration etc. There is a risk of deviation.

In addition, conventionally, the display stand was attached to the case door separately from the sample shelf, so each of the sample shelf and display stand required a mounting structure for the case door.
It was inconvenient to assemble.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned problems, it is an object of the present invention to simplify the structure of the entire display device and to ensure that the display plate can be mounted.

(Means for solving the problem) The technical means is to integrally bend a protrusion 7a for preventing samples from falling off, which protrudes upward from the front end of the lower end of the sample shelf 4, at the lower end of the sample shelf 4. A display stand 7 made of a magnetic material is attached, and on the front side of the display stand 7, a plurality of recesses 8 recessed backward are provided in the horizontal direction corresponding to each sample 5. The display plate 10 is fitted into each recess 8 and magnetically attached to the display stand 7 in a detachable manner.

(Function) When attaching the display plate 10 to the display stand 7, place the display plate 10 in the predetermined recess 8 of the display stand 7.
When the display plate 10 is fitted into the display plate 10, it is fixed to the display stand 7 by the magnetic force of the display plate 10. Moreover, when the display plate 10 is to be removed, it is sufficient to grasp the display plate 10 and remove it by resisting the magnetic force.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an external front view of a cigarette vending machine, which is an example of a vending machine to which the device of the present invention is applied.
FIG. 2 shows an enlarged sectional view taken along the - line in FIG. 1. In both figures, 1 is a vending machine case, and 2 is a case door provided on the front surface of the case so as to be openable and closable. 3 is a sample see-through window provided at the upper front of the case door 2, and a sample shelf 4 is installed inside the window so that it can be tilted backwards.
Various types of samples 5 are arranged horizontally on the top. Reference numeral 6 denotes a selection push button provided on the lower outer surface of the sample viewing window 3.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a display stand made of a magnetic material such as an iron plate, which is formed in the shape of a horizontally long strip, and has a sample shelf 4.
It is integrally attached to the lower end of the holder so that the upper side thereof is slanted rearward. The display stand 7 has a protrusion 7a bent at the front end of the lower end of the sample shelf 4 and protruding upward to prevent samples from falling off. In this display stand 7, a plurality of recesses 8 having a rectangular front face are formed at intervals in the horizontal direction to correspond to the lower position of each sample 5, and the lower step part of each recess 8 is a slip stopper 9. has been done.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a display plate, which has a display section 11 for displaying the price of each sample 5 as shown in FIG. 4, and is made of a plate-shaped magnet.
It is removably fixed by magnetic adhesion while being fitted into the. When installing this,
As shown in FIG. 3, the lower end 1 of the display plate 10
0a on the anti-slip portion 9, and create a gap 12 between the upper end 10b and both side portions 10c and the inner periphery of the recess 8 so that the tip of a finger or a toe can be easily inserted, or as shown in FIG. Display plate 10 as shown
By making the thickness of the display plate 10 larger than the depth of the recess 8 and making the front surface of the display plate 10 slightly project outward from the recess 8, the display plate 10 can be easily grabbed and taken out.

The display portion 11 of the display plate 10 may be directly written on the front side of the magnet body, or a separate thin plate having the display portion 11 written thereon may be attached to the front side of the magnet body.

When the display plate 10 is attached to the inclined display stand 7 in this manner, the display section 11 becomes easier to see from the front side of the vending machine. Even if the display stand 7 is tilted, the display plate 10 is held and fixed on the display stand 7 by a strong magnetic force, and is fitted into the recess 8, so even if there is no impact or vibration from the outside. Even if something like this happens, the display plate 10 will not slide down and will always be held and fixed in place.

In addition, when replacing the display plate 10 by tilting the sample shelf 4 backward and replacing the sample 5, insert your fingertip or toe into the gap 12 of the display plate 10, or insert the display plate 1
The display plate 10 can be easily removed from the display stand 7 by grasping the portion protruding from the recess 8 of the display plate 10 and removing it against the magnetic force. Furthermore, when attaching another display plate 10, the display plate 10 can be adsorbed by simply bringing it closer to the recess 8. Therefore, compared to the conventional structure in which the display plate is inserted into and removed from a narrow gap or groove, the display plate can be removed and attached very easily.

It goes without saying that the present invention can be applied not only to the above product price display device, but also to product name display, and can also be effectively utilized as a display device for vending machines other than cigarette vending machines.

(Effect of the invention) According to the invention, a plurality of recesses 8 recessed backward are provided in the horizontal direction on the front side of the display stand 7 made of a magnetic material, corresponding to the upper and lower phases of each sample 5, and The constructed display plate 10 is fitted into each recess 8 and magnetically attached to the display stand 7 in a detachable manner, so that the display plate 10 can be reliably attached without positional displacement.
Furthermore, since the display stand 7 only needs to have the recessed portion 8 formed therein, it is structurally simple and can be easily processed. Moreover, since the display stand 7 is attached to the lower end of the sample shelf 4,
Compared to the case where the display stand 7 is attached to the case door 2, a mounting structure for the display stand 7 is unnecessary and the structure is simple. In addition, the display stand 7 is integrally bent with a protrusion 7a that protrudes upward from the front end of the lower end of the sample shelf 4 to prevent samples from falling off. The front end of the lower end can be covered from the front, improving the appearance. Moreover, since the display stand 7 is formed with the protruding portions 7a and the recesses 8, the rigidity of the display stand 7 itself is increased, and a thin material can be used for the display stand 7, making it easy to process the display stand. Yes, it can be done at low cost.
