Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a method and display device for displaying samples of chests of drawers and the like in the form of actual specifications in a furniture store.

(Prior art and its problems) Traditionally, furniture stores have had to display a large number of products of the same type in order to widen the range of choices for customers, and they have always suffered from a lack of display space. ing. Especially during the wedding season n;1, it is necessary to display a large number of large house μ sets that take up space such as 2-piece sets and 3-piece sets on the chest of drawers, and in order to secure the display space, other products must be displayed. Not only did this require a great deal of effort and time to replace products, but it was also not uncommon for expensive furniture to be damaged during transportation, reducing its value.

One way to deal with this is to display samples on photo panels, etc., but when it comes to furniture, especially chests of drawers, customers can look at the actual item and compare its shape, size, material, finish, appearance, etc. Photo samples etc. are of no use at all, as you will have to carefully examine the product before deciding whether or not to purchase it.

(Means for Solving the Problems) This invention was made after intensive study in view of the above-mentioned conventional situation, and it is possible to display a large number of furniture samples such as chests of drawers in an extremely small space, and the furniture samples can be shaped. and size,
The object is to provide a display method and display device that displays materials, finishing conditions, appearance, etc. as they are in the real thing, and allows customers to judge suitability in exactly the same way as if they were looking at the real thing.

That is, the first aspect of the present invention is to house a plurality of display panels representing samples of the same specifications as the 61j side of the actual furniture in an exhibition frame constructed in the shape of a rectangular frame in parallel and movable in the left-right direction, The gist is a method for displaying furniture samples in which each sample of the display panels can be visually recognized by pulling out the display panels laterally from a parallel superimposed state.

The second aspect of the present invention also provides an exhibition frame that is framed in a rectangular frame shape with upper and lower and left and right frame bodies and is open at least to the front side, and a ceiling and a floor of the exhibition frame that are arranged along the left and right directions, respectively. A plurality of panel guides arranged in parallel are provided at least on the 011 side, and a plurality of display panels representing samples of the same specifications as the Iij side of the actual furniture are provided within the display frame. The present invention relates to a furniture sample display device in which display panels are housed in parallel so as to be movable in the left-right direction along upper and lower panel guides.

(Actual hr=Example) The present invention will now be described in detail based on illustrated embodiments.

In Figures 1 to 3, 1 indicates upper and lower and left and right frames 2.

It is open on both the front and back sides, and two upper and lower decorative boards 6 are installed on the left and right gable sides, and a plurality of band-shaped decorative boards 7 are also installed on the upper part of the first side. They are fixed in series over the entire length in the left and right direction. As shown in FIG. 4, the upper and lower frames 2.3 each have two ladder-like frame members 2a, 2a each formed of long and short metal square pipes.
and 3a, 3a, and left and right frames 4.
5 is also formed into a ladder shape using a similar square pipe. The left and right frames 4, 5 are connected to one end of the frame members 3a, 3a, respectively, via mounting pieces 4a+4a and 5a, 5a, which are fixed to the lower ends of both sides by welding or screws, and are connected to the upper ends of both sides by screws. In each case, the frame material 2a,
It is connected to each end of 2a with a screw.

In addition, the frame members 2a, 2a of the upper and lower frames 2.3 and the frame member 3
a.

The other ends of 3a are connected to each other by abutting the butt joints with mounting pieces 8a, 8a, which are welded to the upper and lower ends of the two intermediate supports 8.8 made of square metal pipes. This is done by fixing to the mounting pieces 8a, 8a with screws. Therefore, since the upper, lower, left, and right frames 2 to 5 are screwed together, they can be naturally disassembled by loosening the screws. In addition, if the upper and lower frames 2.3 are relatively short, the intermediate supports 8, 8
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, the decorative board 6 on the end side is attached to the left and right frames 4.5 via metal mounting edge members 6a, 6a each having an 11-shaped cross section on both sides. It is fixed with screws. Furthermore, a decorative board 7 is attached to the upper part of the front surface.
As shown in FIG. 6, the wooden rod 7a adhesively fixed to the back side of the frame material 2A is brought into contact with the lower surface of the curved end of the frame material 2A, and fixed with screws at this contact portion, and the lower edge is It is fitted into a metal edge member 7h having a substantially U-shaped cross section over the entire length of the body 2.

The specifications, manufacturer, price, etc. of the exhibition sample may be displayed on this i:1-page example decorative board 7.

Note that the upper frame 2 is formed into a ladder shape as shown in the figure;
This part is not visible to the customer, so there is no need to provide a decorative board.

On the ceiling of the exhibition frame 4, a plurality of hanger rails 9 each having a generally downward open U-shaped cross section are arranged parallel to each other at regular intervals along the left and right direction. A roller 10 is fitted so as to be removable. Further, on the floor of the exhibition frame 1, a plurality of guide rails 11 in the form of strips are arranged parallel to each other along the left-right direction at regular intervals, and a floor plate 12 is placed in contact with the lower surface of these guide rails 11. is fixed to the frame member 3a at both rear edges with screws via mounting pieces 12a and +23 having an I-shaped cross section. Note that each hanger rail 9 is set to be located directly above the valley between adjacent guide rails 11, 11 on the floor.

I3 is a display panel, and as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5R, a sample is displayed almost entirely on the front side of a horizontally long rectangular board 13a, and specifically, a sample board of a desired size is displayed. 14 are fixed with adhesive, and the horizontal width is set to about 2 the inner horizontal width of the exhibition frame 1, and the vertical width is set to a width that fits within the exhibition frame l. This sample board I4 is made of the same material and has the same size, shape, and finish as the front part of the actual 3-piece chest set consisting of a wardrobe, an organizer chest, and a Japanese dresser.In other words, it has the same specifications as the actual product. I am satisfied with what I did.

The display panel 13 is then fixed to the mounting brackets R15, which are made into a U-shape by fitting each pair of metal l1-shaped pieces at two or three places on the left and right sides of the upper edge of the board 13a, with hinges and nuffs H6. The bolt loa of the curved roller lO is attached to the upper part of the mounting bracket 15 and is locked by a lock nut 15a, thereby allowing the hanging roller to move freely in the left and right directions along the hanger rail 9 within the exhibition frame i. The lower end of the base plate 13a is arranged in the valley between the guide rails It and 11, and can be adjusted up and down by the degree of engagement between the bolt IOa and the locknaft 15a. In addition,
By untying the hinge/Nand 16, the order of the rows after 111 of the display panel 13 can be easily changed at any time. In addition, within the exhibition frame l, an exhibition panel 13 is fitted for each hanger rail in an upright manner in the same manner as above.
Each of the sample boards 14 of the plurality of display panels 13 represents a three-piece set of chests of different product types.

In FIG. 3, reference numeral 17 denotes a buffer stopper made of rubber or the like fixed to the horizontal beams of the left and right frames 4.5.

In the above configuration, by sequentially pulling out the display panels 13 from the parallel stacked state in which they are placed on either the left or right side of the display frame l, the sample boards 14 of all the display panels 13 are
It is possible to browse. And each exhibition panel 13
Since the sample 1ffl14 has the same specifications as the front part of the actual 3-piece chest of drawers, customers should carefully examine the shape, size, material, finish, appearance, etc., just as they would when looking at the actual item, and decide whether or not to purchase it. able to make decisions.

In addition, in the above configuration, the hanging portion of each display panel 13 is hidden from one side by the decorative board 7, giving a good appearance, and by having the floor board 12,
Even if a customer enters the exhibition frame 1 to view the exhibition panel 13 near the rear, there is no possibility that his feet or heel of his shoes will get caught between the guide rails 11°l1.

In the above embodiment, the sample board 1 is placed only in front of the display panel 13.
For example, as shown in FIG.
It is also possible to exhibit a three-piece set of two types of chest of drawers. In addition, the display panel 13 is not limited to displaying 3-point cents on the chest of drawers, but may display only 2-point cents, double-point cents, or 7 chests. It is also possible to display storage furniture such as book cases.

In addition, a configuration may be adopted in which two or more display panels +3 are suspended from seven hanger rails 9.

In this invention, in addition to the case in which all of the display panels are fixed with the sample board 14, for example, two display panels are set as one set, and the first panel is attached with the sample board 14, and the second panel is set with the sample board 14 attached. Various applications are possible, such as displaying illustrations and photographs of the interior of furniture. Alternatively, the display panel at the front or the rear may be fixed to the display frame 1.

Furthermore, since the display panel 13 is suspended via the rollers 10, it can be moved smoothly with less sliding resistance, but it may also be moved using a door roller such as a sliding door. , it is also possible to move the panel guide in a 1" direction using a motor or the like instead of manually. Note that the panel guide is not limited to the hanger rail 9 and guide rail 11 shown as examples, but may also include guide grooves, etc. The structure can be adopted, and the number of exhibition panels 13 accommodated in the exhibition frame 1 can also be set variously depending on the front and rear widths of the exhibition frame 1.

(Infant fruit peculiar to the invention) The display method and display device according to the present invention can display a large number of furniture samples such as chests of drawers in an extremely small space, and each furniture sample has the same specifications as the actual Ait surface part. This allows the customer to examine the shape, size, material, finish, appearance, etc. of the furniture in the same way as when viewing the actual item. Therefore, according to this invention, the lack of display space in furniture stores can be solved. At the same time, the labor and time required for replacing furniture can be greatly reduced, and it is also possible to avoid the situation where the product value is damaged due to damage during the replacement.Furthermore, the display device of the present invention has a simple structure and is low cost. It has the advantage of being easy to manufacture.
