Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention is attached to the handle of a shopping cart used in supermarkets, large-scale stores, etc. to electronically switch various information to customers such as commercial advertisements. The present invention relates to an information display device for displaying information.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, this type of shopping cart has been constructed by providing a handle body on a loading body for storing products and the like.

Thus, the purchaser selects a displayed product while pushing the carrier with the handle, places the product on the carrier, and carries the product to the counter.

In response to the need to add a commercial advertising function, some carriers have a structure in which a billboard or the like is hung from the outside of the carrier (US Pat. Nos. 3,677,570 and 4,021,953).

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, in this case, mechanically replacing the advertising boards of a large number of loading bodies has the disadvantage that it is a very troublesome task, and there is also a problem that the amount of information that can be displayed is limited.

[Means for solving problems]

The purpose of the present invention is to solve these inconveniences, and the gist thereof is to provide an information display for displaying commercial advertisements, etc., which is attached to a shopping cart in which a handle body is provided on a loading body for storing products, etc. Electronic information for a shopping cart, characterized in that the device is configured such that an electronic information display device capable of electronically switching and displaying various information such as commercial advertisements can be integrally combined with the handle body. on the display device.

[Effect]

Various types of information such as commercial advertisements are switched and displayed to the purchaser using an electronic information display device that is integrally combined with the handle body.

〔Example〕

1 to 3 show an embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 denotes a loading body, and the loading body 1 is provided with wheels 2 and a storage basket 3. FIG.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a handle body, and the handle body 4 is attached to attachment bodies 5 provided on both sides of the loading body 1 with screws 6.

Reference numeral 7 denotes an electronic information display device, and in this case, a liquid crystal display structure is used for the electronic information display device 7. A case body 8 is integrally provided at the center of the handle body 4, and a display inside the case body 8 is provided. A mechanism 9 is provided, and the featured products of the day are displayed through the display hole 10.
This allows commercial advertisements such as company advertisements to be visually recognized.

In this case, the electronic information display device 7 includes a base body 11 that houses the display mechanism 9 and has the grips 4° of the handle body 4 mounted on both sides thereof by press fitting, etc., and a transparent body such as acrylic resin that allows at least the display window portion to be seen through. It is composed of a transparent inner case n and an opaque outer case 13 that covers the outside and is provided with a display hole 10.

The display mechanism 9 also includes a memory for storing display information for displaying display information in digital data, for example, a dot matrix display, and a liquid crystal display panel 14 for displaying this information.
It consists of a printed circuit board 16 on which electronic components such as drive circuits for display on the liquid crystal display panel 14 are mounted, and a battery 17 as a power source is housed in a space within the base body 11.

The information displayed by the electronic information display device 7 may be stored in a memory in advance and then switched and displayed one after another on the electronic information display device 7, or may be created by an external information creation means, such as a microcomputer. Various types of information can be obtained by providing an input jack in the electronic information display device 7 and changing the input data on a daily basis to rewrite the memory contents, or by transmitting data from a remote centralized control location using wireless means. can be arbitrarily selected.

41 The display on the liquid crystal display panel 14 can be switched in a dot matrix display, and various information to be stored or transferred can be scrolled and displayed, allowing the purchaser to display company advertisements, featured products of the day, etc. Can be read while pressing.

The information display pattern in the electronic information display device 7 may be such that the display section is divided into blocks, and product displays and company advertisements may be displayed in parallel in each block, or each piece of information may be switched and displayed in chronological order. It can be selected as appropriate depending on the amount and content of information at the time.

Furthermore, the electronic information display device 7 is configured to be able to be integrally combined with the handle body 4, and in the description of this embodiment, a structure in which grips 4' are attached to both sides of the base body 11 has been explained. When the left and right grips 4' are connected by a connecting rod or are integrally provided as a single rod-shaped body, they may be configured to be integrally connected to the intermediate portion thereof by a fitting.

In this embodiment, because of the above-mentioned configuration, the electronic information display device 7 can electronically switch and display various types of information such as commercial advertisements, eliminate the need to replace billboards, and the electronic information display device 7 Since it is provided integrally with the body 4, it can be displayed in a conspicuous position that is easily visible to the purchaser, and the display function can be improved.

Although the electronic information display device described above uses a liquid crystal structure, it is also possible to use other electrical or electronic display structures.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the present invention can display commercial advertisements, etc. using an electronic information display device, eliminates the need to replace billboards, and because the electronic information display device is provided integrally with the handle body. Since it can be displayed in a conspicuous position that is easy for buyers to see, and the display data can be switched and displayed electronically, a wide variety of information can be selected at will, and the display function can be greatly improved.

As described above, the intended purpose can be fully achieved.
