[0048] [First embodiment: Figure 1 to Figure 6C ]

[0049] First, the schematic structure of the first embodiment of the electronic shelf label of the present invention will be described. It should be pointed out that in the following description, directions such as "upward", "downward", etc. indicate the directions in these drawings, and do not necessarily match the directions when the electronic shelf label is used.

[0050] figure 1 with figure 2 These are the external perspective views of the front side and the back side of the electronic shelf label 1, respectively, which is the first embodiment of the electronic shelf label of the present invention.

[0051] in figure 1 The electronic shelf label 1 shown in has a display panel 2 in the front. The display panel 2 is an electrically driven display device for displaying product-related information (such as product name and price), and here is formed by a liquid crystal panel. In addition, the electronic shelf label 1 is provid...

[0091] [Second embodiment: Figure 7 with Picture 8 ]

[0092] Next, the second embodiment of the electronic shelf label of the present invention will be described.

[0093] For the electronic shelf label 1 of the first embodiment described above, a structural example is described in which the arm portion 3e of the lock plate is pushed up to the upper side of the electronic shelf label 1 with respect to the insertion direction of the key to release the fixation. The electronic shelf label 31 of this second embodiment is arranged so that the fixing is released by pushing the arm of the locking plate down to the lower side of the electronic shelf label 1 with respect to the insertion direction of the key. Only the structure of the lock plate, the key attachment portion, and the storage rack, and the movement of the lock plate are different from those in the first embodiment. Therefore, these aspects will be mainly explained.

Abstract

The invention provides an electronic shelf tag (1), as fixing means for removably fixing the tag (1) to a rail provided to a merchandise shelf, with a fitting section (3b), hooks (5a, 5b), and a spring (3d), where the fitting section (3b) and the hooks (5a, 5b) are fitted in grooves provided in a side face of the rail and the spring (3d) urges the fitting section (3b). The electronic shelf tag (1) is further provided with a key hole (6a) and an arm (3e). The key hole (6a) allows a thin plate-like key to be inserted therein to releases the fixation of the tag (1) to the rail by the fixing means. The arm (3e) is provided at a position at which the arm (3e) makes contact with the key inserted into the key hole (6a), is moved by a load applied to the key in response to the insertion of the key, and moves the fitting section (3b) in a direction in which the fitting section (3b) is separated from the rail against urging by the spring (3d).

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to electronic shelf labels, which are used to display product-related information, such as product names and product prices, by electrically driving a display panel. Background technique [0002] In recent years, electronic shelf labels with electrically driven display panels are beginning to be used in stores (such as supermarkets and retail stores), instead of paper or plastic prices on which product prices, product names and / or the like are written or printed Sign. [0003] Such electronic shelf labels, for example, use a liquid crystal panel as a display panel, and display product-related information, such as product name and product price, on the display panel. [0004] For example, when changing product pricing, moving product layout, or rearranging new products, the above-mentioned paper or plastic price tags need to be manually operated to replace the price tags. On the other hand, in the electronic shelf label, the infor...
