[0070] Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, the implementation of the guide rail mounting accessory of the present invention is described. The guide rail mounting accessory of the present invention is used to mount a POS guide rail to a shelf (e.g., a commodity shelf). Hereinafter, the front-to-back direction of the shelf is set as FR, the width direction of the shelf is set as W, and the height direction of the shelf is set as H, and the description is given.
[0071] [First embodiment]
[0072] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 14 , the guide rail mounting accessory 11 of the present invention is described. Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the shelf 12 has: a plurality of shelf plates 13 spaced apart in the longitudinal direction; a plurality of rail mounting accessories 11 respectively provided on the plurality of shelf plates 13; and a plurality of POS rails 14 mounted to the shelf plates 13 via the plurality of rail mounting accessories 11. Figure 3 As shown, a sheet 15 or the like recording information related to a product or service such as a product POP or a price tag is installed on a POS rail 14 by insertion or the like. The POS rail 14 is made of wood, but it may also be made of a resin imitating wood, etc. The POS rail may also be made of metal or a transparent resin.
[0073] like Figures 3 to 5As shown, the guide rail mounting accessory 11 includes: a first member 21 directly mounted to the frame plate 13; a second member 22 configured to be rotatable relative to the first member 21; a rotating shaft 23 provided integrally with the second member 22; and a bearing portion 24 and a second bearing portion 25 provided on the first member 21. The second member 22 is provided at the front side of the first member 21.
[0074] The first member 21 is integrally formed of, for example, resin. The first member 21 may also be formed by using a metal material and bending it by press working. Figure 5 , Fig. 9 , Fig.10 As shown, the first member 21 has a mounting portion 31 mounted to the frame plate 13, a support portion 32 extending from the mounting portion 31, and a lever 33 extending from the mounting portion 31. Figure 3 As shown, the mounting portion 31 has a first mounting portion 35 and a second mounting portion 37. The first mounting portion 35 is continuous with the upper end of the support portion 32 and is engaged with the groove portion 34 on the upper surface of the shelf plate 13, and the second mounting portion 37 is continuous with the lower end of the support portion 32 and is engaged with the extension portion 36 on the lower surface of the shelf plate 13. The first mounting portion 35 extends rearward from the upper end of the support portion 32 and is formed to have a cross-sectional hook shape. The second mounting portion 37 extends rearward from the lower end of the support portion 32 in a plate shape. The second mounting portion 37 has a first protrusion 41 that can be engaged with the extension portion 36 on the lower surface of the shelf plate 13 and a second protrusion 42 of a different shape that can also be engaged with the extension portion on the lower surface of the shelf plate 13.
[0075] like Fig. 9 , Fig.10 As shown in FIG. 1 , the support portion 32 is formed in a flat plate shape. The support portion 32 has a contact piece 43 extending from a substantially middle portion in the height direction of the support portion 32 toward the rear side of the frame plate 13. The contact piece 43 can contact the frame plate 13 at its front end as required, thereby ensuring a space for the rotation shaft 23 to rotate. In addition, the contact piece 43 prevents the rotation shaft 23 from directly contacting the frame plate 13, so that the rotation shaft 23 and the second member 22 can rotate smoothly.
[0076] The support portion 32 is formed in a flat plate shape so as to extend from the second mounting portion 37 constituting the mounting portion 31 and be continuous with the first mounting portion 35. The support portion 32 includes a bearing portion 24 and a second bearing portion 25 which are arranged longitudinally at a predetermined interval. The support portion 32 includes a pair of protrusions 45 protruding toward the front side to which the second member 22 is mounted. Figure 4 , Fig.11 As shown, a pair of protrusions 45 are provided on both sides, and the second member 22 at a second position P2 described later is sandwiched between the pair of protrusions 45 .
[0077] like Fig. 9As shown, the bearing portion 24 is formed as a through hole that passes through the support portion 32. The bearing portion 24 supports the rotating shaft 23 so that it can rotate. The bearing portion 24 has a circular portion 46 along the diameter of the rotating shaft 23 (shaft portion 51) and a long diameter portion 47 formed with a diameter larger than the diameter of the circular portion 46. The rotating shaft 23 can be disassembled through the long diameter portion 47. In addition, the hook portion 52 of the rotating shaft 23 described later is hooked on the circular portion 46, and the rotating shaft 23 cannot be disassembled from the circular portion 46. The long diameter portion 47 has a diameter that allows the hook portion 52 of the rotating shaft 23 to move in and out. The second bearing portion 25 is formed in the same form as the bearing portion 24.
[0078] The lever 33 protrudes, for example, obliquely downward from the end of the second mounting portion 37 of the mounting portion 31 on the opposite side to the support portion 32. The lever 33 is formed integrally with the second mounting portion 37, and when the store manager presses the lever 33 downward, the second mounting portion 37 is deformed, and the engagement of the second mounting portion 37 with the extension portion 36 on the lower surface is released, so that the guide rail mounting fitting 11 can be removed from the shelf plate 13.
[0079] The second member 22 is integrally formed of, for example, resin. The second member 22 may also be formed by using a metal material and bending it by press working. Figures 5 to 8 As shown in FIG. 1 , the cross-sectional shape of the second member 22 when cut along the longitudinal direction is formed into a substantially “C” shape. Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the second member 22 has: a main body 53 formed into a slender rectangular plate; a first gripping portion 54 protruding from one end (the upper end) of the main body 53; a second gripping portion 55 protruding from the other end (the lower end) of the main body 53; and a protrusion 56 provided on the surface of the main body 53 opposite to the POS guide rail 14.
[0080] like Figure 3 , Figure 6 As shown, the first gripping portion 54 is formed into a hook shape with a hook-shaped cross section, which can be drawn into one end (e.g., the upper side) of the POS rail 14. The second gripping portion 55 is formed into a hook shape with a hook-shaped cross section, which can be drawn into the other end (e.g., the lower side) of the POS rail 14. Figure 3 , Figure 6 As shown, when the second member 22 is in the lower position S1, the first gripping portion 54 grips the upper side of the POS rail 14, and the second gripping portion 55 grips the lower side of the POS rail 14. Figure 7 , Fig.12 As shown, when the second member 22 is in the upper position S2, the first gripping portion 54 grips the lower side of the POS rail 14, and the second gripping portion 55 grips the upper side of the POS rail 14. In this way, which part of the POS rail 14 is gripped by the first gripping portion 54 and the second gripping portion 55 is determined by the posture of the second member 22.
[0081] The protrusion 56 is formed into a substantially hemispherical shape, and protrudes toward the POS rail 14 to contact the POS rail 14. The protrusion 56 can abut against the POS rail 14 grasped by the first gripping portion 54 and the second gripping portion 55 at its front end. The protrusion 56 can push the POS rail 14 forward by abutting against the POS rail 14. As a result, the first gripping portion 54 and the second gripping portion 55 are elastically deformed in the direction of opening outward by the POS rail 14, and frictional forces can be applied at three locations: the location where the first gripping portion 54 contacts the POS rail 14, the location where the second gripping portion 55 contacts the POS rail, and the location where the protrusion 56 contacts the POS rail. As a result, the POS rail 14 can be prevented from sliding sideways relative to the rail mounting fitting 11.
[0082] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the rotation shaft 23 protrudes from the surface of the main body 53 of the second member 22 on the opposite side of the surface facing the POS rail 14. The rotation shaft 23 is provided at a position eccentric from the middle portion in the length direction of the main body 53. That is, the rotation shaft 23 is provided at a position deviated from the substantially middle portion of the first gripping portion 54 and the second gripping portion 55.
[0083] The rotating shaft 23 is freely attachable and detachable relative to the bearing portion 24 and the second bearing portion 25. The rotating shaft 23 includes a cylindrical shaft portion 51 directly connected to the main body 53 and a hook portion 52 provided at the front end of the shaft portion 51. The hook portion 52 is formed in a small piece shape extending outward from the shaft portion 51 in the radial direction of the shaft portion 51.
[0084] Next, refer to Figure 3 to Figure 5 , Figure 11 to Figure 14 The function of the guide rail mounting fixture 11 according to the present embodiment will be described below.
[0085] In order to set the POS rail 14 on the shelf 13, the store manager installs the first member 21 on the shelf 13. At this time, the first mounting portion 35 of the first member 21 is inserted into the groove portion 34 on the upper surface of the shelf 13, and the second mounting portion 37 of the first member 21 is engaged with the protruding portion 36 on the lower surface of the shelf 13. Thus, the first member 21 is installed on the front side of the shelf 13.
[0086] Next, the second component 22 is mounted to the first component 21. Fig.11 As shown, the second member 22 is placed in the first position P1 of the horizontally long state, and the rotating shaft 23 is inserted into the bearing portion 24. At this time, the hook portion 52 of the rotating shaft 23 is passed through the long diameter portion 47 of the bearing portion 24. In this state, the second member 22 can rotate relative to the first member 21 around the rotating shaft 23.
[0087] like Fig.11 As shown, in this state, by setting the second member 22 to the second position P2 in the longitudinal state, the second member 22 can be attached to the first member 21. At this time, the second member 22 can climb over any one of the pair of protrusions 45 and move from the first position P1 to the second position P2. The second member 22 moved to the second position P2 is held in this position by the pair of protrusions 45, so its posture is stable.
[0088] The POS rail 14 is mounted on the second member 22 fixed to the first member 21. The second member 22 is flexible as a whole, so when mounting the POS rail 14, the POS rail 14 can be mounted on the first gripping portion 54 first, or the POS rail 14 can be mounted on the second gripping portion 55 first. When the POS rail 14 is mounted on the first gripping portion 54 first, the second gripping portion 55 on the lower side is then engaged with the POS rail 14. Similarly, when the POS rail 14 is mounted on the second gripping portion 55 first, the POS rail 14 is then engaged with the first gripping portion 54.
[0089] The POS rail 14 is gripped by the first gripping portion 54 and the second gripping portion 55 , so that the POS rail 14 can be mounted to the rail mounting fixture 11 .
[0090] On the other hand, when replacing the goods displayed on the shelf 13, the setting height of the POS rail 14 can be adjusted according to the height of the goods. Fig.12 As shown, by rotating the second member 22 relative to the first member 21 and changing the second member 22 from the lower position to the upper position S2, the installation height of the POS rail 14 can be moved to the upper side. In order to change the installation height of the POS rail 14 in this way, the POS rail 14 is temporarily removed from the second member 22, and the second member 22 is rotated 180 degrees from the lower position S1 to the upper position S2. In this state, the POS rail 14 is mounted on the second member 22 again, so that the installation height of the POS rail 14 can be easily changed.
[0091] In addition, the installation height of the POS rail 14 can be further finely adjusted using the second bearing portion 25. When the POS rail 14 is removed from the second member 22, the store manager can remove the second member 22 from the first member 21 by returning the second member 22 from the second position P2 to the first position P1. Furthermore, the store manager can insert the rotating shaft 23 into the second bearing portion 25 and move the second member 22 from the first position P1 to the second position P2, thereby fixing the second member 22 to the first member 21. At this time, as shown in FIG. Fig.13As shown, by placing the second member 22 in the lower position S1, the POS rail 14 can be set to the lowest setting height. Fig.14 As shown, by placing the second member 22 in the upper position S2, the second member 22 can be set to an intermediate setting height.
[0092] On the other hand, when removing the guide rail mounting accessory 11 from the shelf 13, by pressing the lever 33 while the POS guide rail 14 is removed from the second member 22, the engagement of the extension portion 36 of the second mounting portion 37 relative to the lower surface of the shelf 13 is released, thereby making it possible to easily remove the guide rail mounting accessory 11 from the shelf 13.
[0093] According to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained. The guide rail mounting accessory 11 includes: a first member 21, a second member 22, a rotating shaft 23, and a bearing portion 24, wherein the first member 21 has a mounting portion 31 mounted to the frame plate 13 and a support portion 32 extending from the mounting portion 31, and the second member 22 has: a main body 53; a first gripping portion 54 protruding from the main body 53 and capable of gripping an end of one side of the POS guide rail 14; and a second gripping portion 55 protruding from the main body 53 and capable of gripping an end of the other side of the POS guide rail 14, the rotating shaft 23 is integrally provided with either the support portion 32 or the main body 53, and is provided at a position deviated from a substantially middle portion between the first gripping portion 54 and the second gripping portion 55, and the bearing portion 24 is provided on either the support portion 32 or the main body 53, and supports the rotating shaft 23 so as to be rotatable.
[0094] In addition, the shelf 12 includes the rail mounting accessories 11 mentioned above.
[0095] According to the above structure, the rotation axis 23 is set at a position deviated from the substantially middle part of the first gripping portion 54 and the second gripping portion 55. Therefore, the second member 22 can be set at two setting heights, that is, the upper position S2 and the lower position S1, by an extremely simple structure. Therefore, the position of the second member 22 can be appropriately selected according to the height of the goods set on the shelf 13, etc., so that a user-friendly guide rail mounting accessory 11 can be realized.
[0096] In this case, the rotating shaft 23 is freely attachable to and detachable from the bearing portion 24. According to such a structure, the second member 22 can be removed from the first member 21, and the convenience of the user during cleaning and the like can be improved.
[0097] The guide rail mounting accessory 11 includes a second bearing portion 25, which is arranged on any other one of the support portion 32 and the main body 53, is arranged at a predetermined interval from the bearing portion 24, and supports the rotating shaft 23 so that it can be rotatable. The rotating shaft 23 is freely detachable relative to the second bearing portion 25.
[0098] According to such a configuration, by attaching the rotating shaft 23 to the second bearing portion 25 , the second member 22 can be set to two positions, namely, the upper position S2 and the lower position S1 .
[0099] The main body 53 has a protrusion 56 that protrudes toward the POS rail 14 so as to contact the POS rail 14. This structure can apply frictional force to the POS rail 14. This can prevent the POS rail 14 from moving laterally relative to the rail mounting bracket 11.
[0100] The second member 22 can rotate around the rotating axis 23 between a first position P1 in which it can be disassembled relative to the first member 21 and a second position P2 in which the POS guide rail 14 can be maintained in a position visible to the customer. The supporting portion 32 has a pair of protrusions 45 arranged on both sides of the second member 22 in the second position P2, and the second member 22 can climb over any one of the pair of protrusions 45 to move from the first position P1 to the second position P2.
[0101] According to this structure, the pair of protrusions 45 are arranged at positions where the second member 22 in the second position P2 is sandwiched from both sides, so that the posture of the second member 22 in the second position P2 can be stabilized. Thus, the second member 22 can be prevented from falling off from the first member 21 at a time when the user does not want.
[0102] In addition, in the present embodiment, a pair of protrusions 45 are provided on the support portion 32 of the first member 21, but the arrangement position of the pair of protrusions 45 is not limited to this structure. In a modified example of the present embodiment, a pair of protrusions 45 can be provided on the main body 53 of the second member 22 instead of being provided on the support portion 32. A pair of protrusions 45 protrude from the main body 53 toward the rear side where the first member 21 is located. In this modified example, when the second member 22 is in the second position P2, the main body 53 is formed to be wider than the support portion 32 in the width direction W. When the second member 22 is in the second position P2, a pair of protrusions 45 are provided to be arranged on both sides of the support portion 32 sandwiched in the middle. By the support portion 32 climbing over any one of the pair of protrusions 45, the second member 22 can move from the first position P1 to the second position P2. In this modified example, when the second member 22 is in the second position P2, the support portion 32 is clamped by a pair of protrusions 45, and therefore, the second member 22 can be stably maintained in the second position P2. This can prevent the POS rail 14 or the second member 22 from falling off the first member 21 when the store manager is not paying attention.
[0103] According to the above-mentioned modification, the following effects can be obtained. The second member 22 can rotate around the rotation axis 23 between a first position P1 in which it can be detached from the first member 21 and a second position P2 in which the POS rail 14 can be kept in a position visible to the customer, and the main body 53 has a pair of protrusions 45. When the second member 22 is in the second position P2, the pair of protrusions 45 are arranged on both sides of the support portion 32, and when the second member 22 moves from the first position P1 to the second position P2, the support portion 32 can climb over any one of the pair of protrusions 45.
[0104] According to this structure, a pair of protrusions 45 are arranged on the main body 53 at positions sandwiching the support portion 32 from both sides, so that the posture of the second member 22 at the second position P2 can be stabilized. Thus, the second member 22 can be prevented from falling off from the first member 21 at a time when the user does not want.
[0105] In the following embodiment, the parts different from the above-mentioned embodiment will be mainly described, and the illustration or description of the parts common to the above-mentioned embodiment will be omitted.
[0106] [Second embodiment]
[0107] Reference Fig.15 , Fig.16 Next, a guide rail fitting 11 according to a second embodiment will be described. The guide rail fitting 11 according to this embodiment differs from the first embodiment in the shape of the first member 21 , but the other structures are the same as those of the first embodiment.
[0108] The first member 21 has a mounting portion 31, but the lever 33 is omitted. The support portion 32 extends forward from the upper end of the mounting portion 31. The mounting portion 31 has a mountain-shaped cross section. The shape of the support portion 32 is the same as that of the first embodiment.
[0109] The shape of the shelf plate 13 is different from that of the first embodiment, and has a pocket-shaped recess 61 opened upward at the front portion thereof. The first member 21 can be fixed to the shelf plate 13 by inserting the mounting portion 31 into the recess 61 .
[0110] The second member 22 can be fixed to the first member 21 by passing the rotating shaft 23 through the bearing portion 24. Fig.15 As shown, the second member 22 can be fixed at the lower position S1, and can also be fixed at the upper position S2 after rotating 180 degrees around the rotation axis 23 and the bearing portion 24. Thus, the POS rail 14 can be installed at an appropriate installation height.
[0111] In addition, the second member 22 can adjust the POS rail 14 to a setting height different from the above setting height by passing the rotation shaft 23 through the second bearing portion 25. At this time, the second member 22 can be fixed to the first member 21 at the lower position and can also be fixed to the first member 21 at the upper position S2.
[0112] According to the present embodiment, even when the shape of shelf plate 13 is different, the position of second member 22 can be appropriately selected according to the height of commodities placed on shelf 12 , etc., thereby realizing user-friendly rail mounting fixture 11 .
[0113] [Third Embodiment]
[0114] Reference Fig.17 , Fig.18 The rail mounting fitting 11 of the third embodiment will be described. The rotating shaft 23 of the rail mounting fitting 11 of this embodiment is provided on the first member 21 side. The second member 22 side is provided with a bearing portion 24 and a second bearing portion 25 provided with a predetermined gap dimension from the bearing portion 24.
[0115] In this embodiment, the first member 21 can be fixed to the second member 22 by passing the rotation shaft 23 through the bearing portion 24. At this time, as in the first embodiment, the second member 22 can be set at two positions: the subscript position S1 and the superscript position S2 rotated 180° from the subscript position S1 around the rotation shaft 23.
[0116] By passing the rotation shaft 23 through the second bearing 25, the second member 22 and the POS rail 14 can be set at a different setting height than when the rotation shaft 23 passes through the bearing 24. In this case, the second member 22 can be set at two positions: the lower position S1 and the upper position S2 rotated 180 degrees from the lower position S1 around the rotation shaft 23.
[0117] According to this embodiment, even when the rotation shaft 23 is provided on the first member 21 side and the bearing 24 and the second bearing 25 are provided on the second member 22 side, the installation height of the POS rail 14 can be finely set. Thus, a user-friendly rail mounting fixture 11 can be realized.
[0118] The above-mentioned embodiments can be implemented with various further substitutions and modifications. Of course, the above-mentioned different embodiments can also be appropriately combined to form a utility model.
