[Prior Art Documents] [Patent Documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Utility Model Registration No. 3130015 [Summary of the Invention]

[0004] [Problem to be solved by the invention] In Patent Document 1, the box-type advertising body of the assembly type has a problem of ease of use because characters can only be depicted on the front surface panel of the box.

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a user-friendly advertising format for shops. [Technical Means for Solving the Problem]

[0006] One embodiment of the present invention provides a store advertising unit comprising a main body portion, which is deformable from a first form to a second form and includes a storage portion. The storage portion is configured such that it does not function as a storage portion in the first form, but functions as a storage portion in the second form. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a store advertisement with high attention.

Implementation Method

[0009] Hereinafter, embodiments of a store advertisement body illustrating one aspect of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the store advertisement body 1.

[0010] The store advertising body 1 shown in Figure 1 is made of, for example, thick paper or corrugated cardboard, and is formed into a lottery ticket 8 that can be displayed in a store to sell or promote products of a specific character C or related products. When the main body 10 is used in a store, it is in a three-dimensional form as shown in Figure 1, and can be displayed in a suitable position in the store by placing the lower end 11 constituting its bottom surface on the mounting part 60 so that customers can see one side as the front surface 10s. As described below, the store advertising body 1 can also be transformed from a flat first form to a three-dimensional second form, just like the main body 10, which can be transformed from a flat first form to a three-dimensional second form when in use.

[0011] Furthermore, an advertisement for the sale of lottery tickets 8 by character C is appropriately provided in the approximate center of the central panel 10A of the main body 10. For example, a storage section 20 for storing lottery tickets 8 is provided on the lower left side of the front surface of the main body 10, and the lottery tickets 8 are stored in the storage section 20. Also, regarding the prizes won by purchasing lottery tickets 8, prizes A to J are listed, for example, by the product information section 15 around character C.

[0012] Figure 2 is a top view showing the first form of the main body 10 in the shop advertisement 1 shown in Figure 1. As shown in Figure 2, the main body 10 before being assembled into a three-dimensional shape has the following structure: it can be cut into a specific shape from a rectangular sheet 10b via a cutting line 10c. The main body 10 has four parts, namely, a lower end 11 forming the bottom surface, an upper surface 14 forming the upper side surface, and left and right side surfaces 12, centered on a rectangular central plate 10A. That is, the bent portion of the outer periphery of the central plate 10A is bent forward and backward. For example, the lower end 11 is bent forward, while the left and right side surfaces 12 and the upper surface 14 are bent backward. When the left and right side surfaces 12 are bent, for example, by means of the side cut 12c of the lower end portion, the front protrusion 12b (see Figure 1) protrudes forward and together with the lower end 11 forms a support portion of the bottom portion. Furthermore, by properly engaging and locking the left and right ends of the upper surface portion 14 with the upper part of the side portion 12, the shop advertisement 1 is assembled in three dimensions and becomes a standing position. Moreover, when the main body portion 10 is placed in the shop, the side portion 12 can be seen from the side direction, so the side portion 12 is appropriately inscribed with statements or patterns that enable the POP function.

[0013] Figure 3 is an enlarged perspective view of region E in Figure 2. As shown in Figure 3, in the first configuration, the storage portion 20 includes left and right cutouts 21c, an upper cutout 23c, an insertion cutout 24c, a bottom bend 11a, an upper bend 21a on the front surface wall, a lower bend 21b on the front surface wall, an upper bend 22a, and an auxiliary bend 23a, which are cut portions of the main body portion 10. Both the left and right cutouts 21c are formed by bending in a way that the interval narrows from the upper bend 22a toward the lower bend 21b on the front surface wall, thus forming the front surface wall 21 and the left and right upper surface walls 22 of the storage portion 20. Furthermore, the left and right cutouts 21c extend in a direction orthogonal to the bottom bend 11a. Furthermore, the upper bend 21a, lower bend 21b, and upper bend 22a of the front surface wall are arranged parallel to the lower bend 11a. Moreover, the lower bend 11a is located between the lower bend 21b and the upper bend 21a of the front surface wall.

[0014] The insertion port cutout 24c constituting the insertion port 25 (see Figure 5) is formed between the two bends 21a on the front surface wall, and is arranged in a straight line parallel to the bends 21a on the front surface wall. Furthermore, two upper cutouts 23c are formed on the upper side of the receiving portion to form the left and right end edges of the insertion port 25. Moreover, the upper cutout 23c is configured to include a straight portion arranged in a straight line with the upper bends 22a and a straight portion extending parallel to and continuous with the insertion port cutout 24c. Additionally, the auxiliary portion bends 23a forming the auxiliary portion 23 are provided between the two ends of the insertion port cutout 24c and the end of the upper cutout 23c.

[0015] Figure 4 is a perspective view showing the initial state of the assembly of the storage unit 20. When assembling the store advertising body 1, firstly, the main body 10 is cut out along the cutting line 10c of the sheet 10b. Then, the cut-out first-form main body 10 is assembled into the second three-dimensional state shown in Figure 1. During this assembly, as shown in Figure 4, starting from the bottom bending portion 11a, the lower end 11 is bent in a forward-protruding manner (arrow Z direction in the figure). In the initial stage of this bending operation, as shown, the upper bending portion 22a and the lower bending portion 21b of the front surface wall are bent. That is, the left and right cut portions 21c separate, and the opening portion 20h begins to form. Then, as the bending angle of the bottom bending portion 11a approaches 90 degrees, the upper bending portion 21a of the front surface wall bends in a forward-protruding manner. Then, during the bending operation, the bending continues until the bending portion 21a on the front surface wall is bent to 90 degrees, and the front surface wall 21 is parallel to the front surface 10s, and the upper surface wall 22 is parallel to the lower end 11.

[0016] Thus, in the second form, the storage portion 20 of the shop advertisement body 1 is formed on the front surface 10s to protrude towards the lower end portion 11 of the main body 10. Here, in the upright state of the shop advertisement body 1, it becomes a support structure connecting the lower end portion 11 and the central panel 10A. In this way, the storage portion 20 can reinforce the three-dimensional shape of the main body 10 and assist in the upright state.

[0017] Figure 5 is a perspective view showing the assembled state of the storage section 20. In the state shown in Figure 5, the lower end 11 of the storage section 20 is bent forward at a 90-degree angle relative to the front surface 10s. As a result, as described above, the wall surface of the storage section 20 is formed by bending the bending portion 21a on the front surface wall at a 90-degree angle, that is, by bending the front surface wall 21 and the left and right upper surface walls 22 forward at right angles. Furthermore, on the left and right upper surface walls 22, left and right tongue-shaped auxiliary portions 23 (the first auxiliary portion 23R on the right and the second auxiliary portion 23L on the left) are connected via auxiliary bending portions 23a. The auxiliary portions 23 initially form the same surface as the left and right upper surface walls 22. Then, by bending the auxiliary bending portions 23a inward (downward), a rectangular insertion slot 25 for inserting the lottery ticket 8 is formed.

[0018] Furthermore, the lottery ticket 8 inserted through the insertion port 25 is held at its lower edge 8d (see Figure 7) by a lower end support portion 11b formed as a first support portion at the lower end 11. Furthermore, the back side of the lottery ticket 8, on the surface 10s before the insertion port 25, is supported by a rear surface support portion 24, which is provided as a second support portion orthogonal to the lower end support portion 11b.

[0019] Figure 6 is a perspective view showing the state when a lottery ticket 8 is inserted into the storage section 20. Figure 7 is a perspective view showing the state when a lottery ticket 8 is stored in the storage section 20.

[0020] When the lottery ticket 8 is stored in the assembled storage section 20, for example, as shown in FIG6, a lottery ticket 8 is inserted into the insertion port 25. At this time, the first auxiliary section 23R and the second auxiliary section 23L are configured such that the interval (L1) is smaller than the width dimension (L2) of the lottery ticket 8. However, the first auxiliary section 23R and the second auxiliary section 23L undergo elastic deformation to allow the insertion of the lottery ticket 8, as shown in FIG7, a lottery ticket 8 is stored in the storage section 20. Furthermore, in the left and right cutouts 21c, the interval (L4) between the lower end support sections 11b is configured to be smaller than the left and right interval (L3) of the insertion port 25, so that the lower end support sections 11b can support the lower edge 8d of the lottery ticket 8.

[0021] As shown in Figure 7, the left and right ends 8e of the lottery ticket 8, which are one end and the other end in the width direction, are held from the left and right directions by the first auxiliary part 23R and the second auxiliary part 23L. That is, by setting the initial gap (L1) between the first auxiliary part 23R and the second auxiliary part 23L to be narrower than the width (L2) of the lottery ticket, the lottery ticket 8 is held by the first auxiliary part 23R and the second auxiliary part 23L pressing from the left and right directions when the lottery ticket 8 is inserted. As a result, for example, even if the left and right ends 8e of the lottery ticket 8 are not aligned as shown in Figure 6, the lottery ticket 8 will be properly compressed and positioned in the left and right horizontal direction, and stored in a neat state with the ends 8e aligned. Furthermore, in the second form, the storage part 20 stores the lower edge 8d of the stored lottery ticket 8 by the left and right lower end support parts 11b provided on the lower end side of the opening 20h, and the upper end 8u is aligned.

[0022] Figure 8 is a perspective view of the state in which a lottery ticket 8 is stored in the storage section 20, viewed from the rear side of the main body 10. Figure 9 is a cross-sectional view along line AA in Figure 8. Furthermore, in the configurations shown in Figures 8 and 9, the structure of the rear surface support section 24 is different from the shape shown in Figure 6.

[0023] In its second configuration, as shown in Figures 8 and 9, the rear surface support 24, which supports the back side of the lottery ticket 8, is bent forward. That is, the rear surface support 24 bends forward, for example, starting from the rear bend 24a protruding from its base side. By forming this forward-protruding structure, the front end 24t can be configured to push the back side of the lottery ticket 8 forward, thereby compressing the lottery ticket 8 to prevent it from scattering. In particular, it can be firmly held even when the number of lottery tickets 8 decreases. Furthermore, as described above, since the auxiliary part 23 also compresses in the left and right directions, the lottery ticket 8 is neatly aligned in any direction (front, back, left, right).

[0024] As described above, in the first form of the shop advertisement 1 of this embodiment, the main body 10 has a storage section 20 provided in a part of it using cutouts (21c, 23c, 24c) and bends (11a, 21a, 22a, 21b). Therefore, the storage section 20 is not three-dimensionally constructed, thus it can be formed into a small volume and is convenient for storage or transportation of the shop advertisement 1. Furthermore, in the main body 10 that has been deformed into a three-dimensional shape (second form), the cutouts and bends can be easily used to make a portion of the cutouts and bends stand upright from the front surface 10s of one side of the main body 10. Moreover, since the storage section 20 is integrally formed with the main body 10, it can prevent it from detaching from the main body 20 and from being lost.

[0025] Furthermore, in the store advertising body 1 of this embodiment, since the bent portion and the cut portion constituting the storage portion 20 are arranged adjacently, the storage portion 20 can easily form its three-dimensional shape by bending the bent portion alone.

[0026] Furthermore, in the store advertising body 1 of this embodiment, the storage part 20 is configured to store the lottery ticket 8, thereby enabling the store advertising body 1 to be used as an advertising body for selling the lottery ticket 8 and as a storage component for the lottery ticket 8.

[0027] In the shop advertisement 1 of this embodiment, the main body 10 is configured to be able to stand upright in the second form, so it can stand upright and be displayed. Furthermore, in the upright state, the storage part 20 has a structure that protrudes from the front surface 10s to the lower end 11, so it can have a reinforcing and auxiliary function to maintain the three-dimensional shape of the main body 10.

[0028] Furthermore, in the shop advertisement 1 of this embodiment, the auxiliary parts 23 (first auxiliary part 23 and second auxiliary part 23) provided in the insertion port 25 of the storage section 20 can be used to squeeze and clamp the ends 8e of the lottery tickets 8, so that the left and right ends 8e of the lottery tickets 8 containing a plurality of tickets can be aligned, thereby neatly storing the lottery tickets 8. In particular, since the insertion port 25 is provided with auxiliary parts 23, when the lottery tickets 8 are placed into the storage section 20, the ends 8e can be effectively aligned by the contact of the auxiliary parts 23. In addition, since the inclined direction of the auxiliary parts 23 faces the inside and downward of the storage section 20, it is easy to operate when inserting.

[0029] In the shop advertisement body 1 of this embodiment, the gap (L4) between the left and right cutouts 21c of the main body 10 is configured to be smaller than the gap (L3) between the left and right insertion openings 25, so that the lower support portion 11b (first support portion) can support the lower edge 8d of the lottery ticket 8. As a result, by simply assembling the main body 10 three-dimensionally, a lower support portion 11b that can hold the lottery ticket 8 can be formed.

[0030] In the shop advertisement body 1 of this embodiment, by having a rear surface support 24 that supports the back portion 8b of the stored lottery tickets 8, the stored plurality of lottery tickets 8 can be pressed in the thickness direction. As a result, the plurality of lottery tickets 8 can be neatly stored in close contact with each other, especially when the number of lottery tickets 8 is small, the lottery tickets 8 can be prevented from being scattered in the thickness direction and aligned.

[0031] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but the present invention can be appropriately modified within the scope of its technical concept. For example, in the above embodiments, the shape of the store advertisement 1 is set to be approximately rectangular, but it is not limited to this. Also, in the above embodiments, it is formed with a structure having one storage part 20, but it can also be a structure having a plurality of storage parts 20.
