Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] (a) Industrial application field The present invention relates to a sample display device for a vending machine, which has a sample display room for sales products formed on the front side of the main body.

(b) Conventional technology Conventionally, vending machines with a sample display room have been equipped with lighting devices such as fluorescent lights in the sample display room so that the samples of the products being sold can be seen at night. A signboard panel having a semi-transparent part with printing etc. forming the front of the chamber and a transparent part through which the sample can be seen is illuminated. .

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention The light from the fluorescent lamp with this conventional configuration not only illuminates the sample, but also passes through the semi-transparent part and the transparent part on which signboard panels are printed, etc., and illuminates the front of the vending machine. Because it is directly illuminated, if the area around the vending machine is dark, such as at night, the samples and printed parts of the signboard panel can be seen clearly, but the light from the fluorescent lamp may be directly visible to customers standing in front of the vending machine. It has become difficult to check the coin slot, return lever, product selection button, etc. located on the front of the vending machine, resulting in coins falling and being lost due to mistakes in inserting coins into the coin slot, and return levers, product selection buttons, etc. This has the drawback of causing malfunctions, etc., and also has the drawback that when the light entering the customer's eyes is weakened by dimming the lighting, the sample, printed part, etc. become unclear.

In view of the above points, the present invention provides a sample display device for a vending machine that is configured so that the samples can be brightly illuminated and the light from the illumination device does not directly exit the front surface of the vending machine.

(d) Means for solving the problem The present invention is a vending machine that has a sample display room for sales products on the front of the main body, and a transparent panel that closes off the front of the sample display room and allows the interior of the sample display room to be seen through. a reflective plate having a mirror surface provided on the rear wall of the sample exhibition room; and a reflective plate located at a predetermined distance from the upper and lower walls and the left and right walls of the sample exhibition room, respectively, and the reflective plate and the transparent panel a non-transparent display panel provided so as to extend in the middle of the display panel, a lighting device provided between the back surface of the display panel and the reflector, and a light device provided between the back surface of the display panel and the reflector. An auxiliary panel is provided that is interposed parallel to the display panel and the reflector and extends outward from the outer peripheral edge of the lighting device and the display panel, and the display panel is parallel to the lighting device and the auxiliary panel. It has a structure in which product samples are displayed in the space formed around the outer periphery of the line.

(E) Effect With this configuration, the light from the lighting device is prevented from being directly irradiated from the front transparent panel to the front of the vending machine main body by the auxiliary panel and display panel that cover the front of the lighting device in a wide and double manner. The light reflected on the reflector and the light emitted from between the reflector and the auxiliary panel,
The light emitted from between the auxiliary panel and the display panel directly illuminates the product samples displayed on the outer periphery of the auxiliary panel.

(F) Embodiment The drawing shows an embodiment of the present invention, in which 1 is a vending machine main body, and a door 2 is pivotally supported on the front so that it can be opened and closed. A transparent panel 3 that can be seen through is provided at the upper front of the door 2, and the front door 2 behind the transparent panel 3
Inside, there is a sample exhibition room 4 where samples of sales products are displayed.
The inside of the sample exhibition room 4 can be seen through it. And this sample exhibition room 4 rear wall 4
A reflecting plate 5 such as a stainless steel plate having a flat mirror surface is provided on substantially the entire surface of A. Reference numeral 6 denotes a non-translucent display panel with printing on the front surface, and between the outer peripheral edge and the upper wall 4B and lower wall 4C of the sample exhibition room 4, and the left and right side walls 4D, 4D, there is displayed a sample A of the product for sale. The end portion is connected to the rear wall 4A so as to have a predetermined interval sufficient to display the transparent panel 3 and the reflective plate 5, and to be positioned approximately parallel to the transparent panel 3 and the reflective plate 5 between the transparent panel 3 and the reflective plate 5. It is supported by a support member 7 attached to. That is, the display panel 6 is supported by the support member 7 on the upper wall 4 of the sample exhibition room 4.
B, a state in which it is located away from each of the lower wall 4C, the left and right side walls 4D, 4D, the reflective plate 5 as the rear wall 4A, and the transparent panel 3, and is floating approximately in the center of the sample exhibition room 4; It is set in. 8
is a fluorescent lamp as an illumination device provided between the display panel 6 and the reflection plate 5. 9 is a display panel 6 located between the display panel 6 and the reflector 5;
and an auxiliary panel whose end portion is attached to the back surface of the display panel 6 so as to extend substantially parallel to the reflector plate 5. When looking inside the sample exhibition room 4 from the front, the fluorescent lamp 8 and the display panel 6 are visible.
An auxiliary panel 9 extends from the rear surface of the mirror so that it is not reflected on the reflector plate 5. The auxiliary panel 9, the display panel 6, the fluorescent lamp 8, the upper wall 4B, the lower wall 4C, and the left and right side walls 4D, 4D.
A space 10 is formed between them. That is, on the outer periphery of the display panel 6 there is a space 10 where sample A can be displayed.
is formed. In a space 10 between the lower wall 4C and the display panel 6, a sample A is displayed corresponding to the fluorescent lamp 8. It is configured to be directly illuminated by light. That is, sample A has the display panels 6 arranged substantially parallel to each other,
It is provided in the space 10 on a parallel line between the auxiliary panel 9, the fluorescent lamp 8, and the reflecting plate 5, and is configured to be directly illuminated by the fluorescent lamp 8.

(G) Effects of the invention As mentioned above, this invention uses a reflective plate made of a mirror on the rear wall of the sample exhibition room, a display panel that cannot transmit light in front of it, and a light-transmitting display panel that connects the back of the display panel with the reflector. A lighting device is provided between the back surface of the display panel and the reflector, and an auxiliary panel that extends further outward than the lighting device and the display panel is provided between the back surface of the display panel and the reflector, and these are arranged parallel to each other. A sample is displayed in a space outside the display panel, the lighting device, and the auxiliary panel, which are on parallel lines, and the light from the lighting device is irradiated directly and indirectly onto the sample, and the light from the lighting device is directly directed to the transparent front panel. Since the panel does not emit light from the front, the sample is brightly illuminated without creating shadows, and since all the light from the lighting device that comes out from the front of the device is indirect, it is brighter for the customer's eyes. No light enters, and therefore, it is possible to prevent the customer from erroneous operation. In addition, by installing a reflector, display panel, and auxiliary panel parallel to each other in front and back, and irradiating the light from the lighting device outward from between the reflector, the auxiliary panel, and the display panel, the auxiliary panel is reflected on the mirror surface of the reflector. Together with samples and the like, a unique exhibition effect that promotes a three-dimensional effect can be obtained, which has the effect of attracting the attention of customers.
