Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a hanging display device for merchandise. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, a hanging display fixture consisting of a downward concave mounting base and a hanging bar extending horizontally in front of the mounting base has been used as a method of displaying products in stores etc. In other words, the mounting base of the display fixture is fitted into a horizontal rod member installed horizontally between the posts of a product shelf, and products are hung from the hanging bar extending forward to display the products. For example, the one shown in the following Patent Document 1 is a typical example.

[0003] A typical hanging product display device such as that shown in Patent Document 1 is generally formed with the inside dimensions of its mounting base ("mounting member 3" in Patent Document 1) slightly larger than the outside dimensions of the horizontal rod member ("frame 5" in Patent Document 1). In other words, if there were no room at all in the inside dimensions of the mounting base, the mounting work would be time-consuming when attaching the mounting base to the horizontal rod member, and in some cases, it may not fit properly. For this reason, there is usually a slight gap, i.e., the inside dimensions of the mounting base are slightly longer than the outside dimensions of the horizontal rod member.

[0005] However, allowing slack in the mounting base of the hanging display fixture can cause the following problem: When a relatively heavy product is hung from the hanging bar of the hanging display fixture, or when multiple products are hung from the hanging bar, a large force is applied to the hanging bar, which tends to rotate, and this can result in the hanging display fixture becoming dislodged from the horizontal rod member.

[0006] A hanging commodity display device that can solve the above problems is shown in Patent Document 2. This hanging commodity display device has an attachment base (referred to as "fixing portion 13" in Patent Document 2) formed in a U-shape when viewed from the side, and when it is attached to a horizontal rod member (referred to as "mounting bar 7" in Patent Document 2), it is fastened and fixed from below the attachment base by a screw 13c.

[0007] However, when the mounting base of the hanging display fixture is constructed as shown in Patent Document 2, extra parts such as screws are required, which inevitably results in extra manufacturing costs. In addition, when attaching the hanging display fixture, work such as screwing is required, which causes a problem of poor work efficiency. Furthermore, when hanging a commodity on the hanging display fixture or removing a commodity from the hanging display fixture, the screw may loosen and come off, which may cause the hanging display fixture to come off the horizontal rod member. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0008] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the present invention aims to provide a product hanging display device that can eliminate the problem of the product hanging display device coming off the horizontal rod member even if the product hung from the product hanging display device is heavy, and that can achieve this with a relatively simple structure. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a product hanging display device comprising a mounting base which is attached to a horizontally placed horizontal rod member by fitting it from above, and a product hanging bar extending forward from the mounting base, wherein the mounting base is formed in a downwardly concave shape in a side view with an upper surface portion which is positioned above the horizontal rod member, a front surface portion which is positioned in front of the horizontal rod member, and a rear surface portion which is positioned behind the horizontal rod member, the inside dimension in the fore-to-aft direction of at least the upper end of the mounting base is set to be longer than the outside dimension in the fore-to-aft direction of the horizontal rod member, and the front surface portion of the mounting base is formed so that its lower end is inclined toward the rear, and the front lower end of the horizontal rod member abuts near the boundary of the inclination. Effect of the Invention

[0010] According to the present invention, even if the weight of a product is placed on the product hanging bar of a product hanging display device, the product hanging bar can be prevented from rotating, thereby eliminating the inconvenience of the product hanging display device becoming detached from the horizontal rod member.

[0012] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a hanging display device attached to a horizontal rod member, Fig. 2 is a right side view of the hanging display device, Fig. 3 is a partially enlarged view of the hanging display device showing the mounting base attached to the horizontal rod member, Fig. 4 is a plan view of the hanging display device, Fig. 5 is a bottom view of the hanging display device, Fig. 6(a) is a front view of the hanging display device, and Fig. 6(b) is a rear view of the hanging display device. The hanging display device according to the present invention is generally composed of a mounting base 2 that is fitted from above into a horizontal rod member 1 that is placed horizontally and attached to the horizontal rod member 1, and a hanging bar 3 that extends forward from the mounting base 2 in a substantially horizontal position.

[0013] FIG. 1 shows an example in which a horizontal rod member 1 is installed horizontally on one of the support columns of a product shelf, and a product hanging display device is attached to the horizontal rod member. Although the product shelf is not shown in FIG. 1, the product shelf is assumed to be a commonly used one, and is composed of a base part having a rectangular shape in plan view that is installed on the ground, a top plate part having a rectangular shape in plan view that is placed a certain distance above the base part, and two support columns that are installed on both the left and right ends between the base part and the top plate part. The horizontal rod member 1 is installed horizontally between the two support columns of the product shelf. The product shelf described here is merely an example, and the shape of the horizontal rod member does not matter as long as it is installed horizontally. The horizontal rod member 1 may be installed horizontally on something other than a product shelf.

[0014] The horizontal rod member 1 is formed of a metal such as steel, and is composed of a front plate, a rear plate, a top plate, and a bottom plate, and has a hollow rectangular cross section. That is, it is formed in a square column extending in the left-right direction. The left and right ends of the horizontal rod member 1 are horizontally attached to the support columns of the product shelf. In addition, when using the product hanging display device according to the present invention, the material of the horizontal rod member 1 does not matter, and it may be made of, for example, synthetic resin or wood. In addition, the horizontal rod member 1 does not necessarily have to be hollow inside. In addition, the shape of the horizontal rod member 1 does not necessarily have to be rectangular in cross section, and for example, the front plate and the rear plate may be horizontally attached between the support columns with a predetermined interval. In other words, the horizontal rod member 1 only needs to have a front plate and a rear plate into which the mounting base 2, the details of which will be described later, can be fitted.

[0015] When the hanging display fixture is attached to the horizontal rod member 1, the mounting base 2 is formed in a downward concave shape in a side view by an upper panel 10 located above the top plate of the horizontal rod member 1, a front panel 11 located in front of the front panel of the horizontal rod member 1, and a rear panel 12 located on the rear panel of the horizontal rod member 1. In addition, the inside dimension of the upper panel 10 in this embodiment, in other words, the length between the inner sides of the upper ends of the front panel 11 and the rear panel 12, is formed slightly longer than the width direction length of the top plate of the horizontal rod member 1 to which it is attached. Therefore, when the hanging display fixture is attached to the horizontal rod member 1, as shown in FIG. 3, a slight gap G is formed between the outer surface of the front panel of the horizontal rod member 1 and the inner surface of the front panel 11 of the mounting base 2. In addition, the front panel 10 and the rear panel 11 of the mounting base 2 in this embodiment have different lengths in the up-down direction. That is, the length from the upper end to the lower end of the rear panel 12 is formed to be approximately half the length from the upper end to the lower end of the front panel 11. In addition, a bent piece 12a is formed at the lower end of the rear panel 12, which is bent so as to be slightly inclined outward (rearward). On the other hand, the front panel 11 has an upper plate piece 11a from the front end to the lower end, which is gently inclined inward (rearward), and further, a lower plate piece 11b is formed from the upper plate piece 11a to the lower end, which is inclined inward (rearward) at an angle from the upper plate piece 11a. Incidentally, in this embodiment, the angle between the imaginary horizontal line drawn forward from the upper surface of the top plate of the horizontal rod member 1 and the front panel 11 of the mounting base 2 is set to 94 degrees. In addition, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 6, a circular arc-shaped notch 13 is formed at the lower end of the lower plate piece 11b. 3, when the hanging commodity display device is attached to the horizontal rod member 1, the abutting portion, which is the bent portion (boundary) between the upper plate piece 11a and the lower plate piece 11b of the front panel portion 11, abuts against the corner portion at the front lower end of the horizontal rod member 1, i.e., the corner portion between the front panel and the bottom panel. Incidentally, in this embodiment, when the hanging commodity display device is attached to the horizontal rod member 1, the top panel portion 10 of the hanging commodity display device is inclined upward toward the front side further than the top panel of the horizontal rod member 1.In the above embodiment, the vertical length of the rear panel 12 of the mounting base 2 is approximately half the length of the front panel 11, but this is not limited to this and the dimension can be freely set. Also, the length (inside dimension) between the front panel 11 and the rear panel 12 of the mounting base 2 can be freely designed to match the dimension of the horizontal rod member 1.

[0016] The product hanging bar 3 is formed by bending a round bar-shaped member made of a single rigid metal wire at multiple points. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the product hanging bar 3 in this embodiment is formed by bending a round bar-shaped rigid wire at two points to have a U-shape when viewed from the side. That is, it is formed by a hanging part 15 located on the upper plate part 10 of the mounting base 2 and extending horizontally forward of the upper plate part 10, a connecting part 16 formed by bending the rear end of the hanging part 15 at a right angle, and an information display mounting part 17 located parallel to the upper end of the hanging part 15 by bending the upper end of the connecting part 16 at a right angle. In addition, the front end of the hanging part 15 is bent so as to incline upward, forming a part that prevents the hanging product from falling off the hanging part 15. Furthermore, the information display attachment section 17 is set to have a shorter length than the hanging section 15, and its front end is bent upward at a right angle to form a portion 18 where a plate or the like displaying information such as the product name and price can be attached. The rear end of the hanging section 15 is welded onto the upper surface plate section 10 of the mounting base 2, thereby fixing the product hanging bar 3 to the mounting base 2. However, the product hanging bar 3 shown above is merely a specific example, and various variations can be adopted as long as the product hanging bar 3 is a rod-shaped member that extends forward from the mounting base 2 and can hang products. For example, in the above example, the product hanging bar 3 extends straight forward, but the product hanging bar may be bent in the middle in the horizontal direction so as to extend diagonally forward. Also, the product hanging bar may be bent downward from the front end of the upper surface plate section 10 of the mounting base 2, and further bent forward from the lower end of the upper surface plate section 10 so as to extend forward. Incidentally, as mentioned above, when the product hanging display device in this embodiment is attached to the horizontal rod member 1, the top plate portion 10 is inclined slightly upward toward the front side from the top plate of the horizontal rod member 1, but the product hanging bar 3 fixed to this top plate portion 10 also inevitably inclines upward as it moves forward. This makes it easy to hang products on the product hanging bar 3 and prevents products from falling off the product hanging bar 3.In this embodiment, the product hanging bar 3 is formed from a round bar-shaped wire rod, but the product hanging bar 3 may be any bar-shaped bar having a predetermined length, and may have various shapes, such as a flat bar, a rectangular bar, etc. Also, the product hanging bar 3 does not need to have any other parts as long as it has a part corresponding to the above-mentioned hanging part, which is the part where the product is hung.

[0017] Next, the operation of the hanging display fixture constructed as described above will be described. First, when using the hanging display fixture, the mounting base 2 of the hanging display fixture is fitted from above into the horizontal rod member 1 installed horizontally on a support or the like. That is, the lower end of the front plate portion 11 of the mounting base 2 and the lower end of the rear plate portion 12 of the mounting base 2 are positioned above the horizontal rod member 1, and the mounting base 2 is pushed into the horizontal rod member 1. This causes the lower end of the mounting base 2 to expand while being slightly elastically deformed, and to fit into the horizontal rod member 1. At this time, a slight gap G is formed between the outer surface of the front plate of the horizontal rod member 1 and the inner surface of the front plate portion 11 of the mounting base 2, so that the mounting base 2 can be attached to the horizontal rod member 1 relatively easily. When the mounting base 2 is attached to the horizontal rod member 1, the hanging portion 15 of the product hanging bar 3 of the product hanging display device is extended forward of the mounting base 2. Then, a product is hung from the hanging portion 15 of the product hanging bar 3 as shown in Fig. 1. At this time, if the hung product is relatively heavy or if multiple products are hung, a large force is applied to the hanging portion 15, causing a force to rotate. However, since the corner of the front lower end of the horizontal rod member 1 abuts against the abutting portion, which is the bent portion between the upper plate piece 11a and the lower plate piece 11b of the front plate portion 11 of the mounting base 2, the aforementioned rotation force is prevented, and the product hanging display device can be prevented from coming off the horizontal rod member 1. 3 shows an example in which the corner portion of the front lower end of the horizontal rod member 1 substantially coincides with and abuts the bent portion that is the boundary between the upper plate piece 11a and the lower plate piece 11b of the mounting base 2, but if the corner portion of the front lower end of the horizontal rod member 1 abuts near the boundary, it is possible to prevent the hanging display device from rotating due to a heavy weight being placed on the hanging bar 2. In other words, as long as it is near the upper plate piece 11a and the lower plate piece 11b, the object of the present invention can be achieved in either case whether the corner portion of the front lower end of the horizontal rod member 1 abuts against the upper plate piece 11a or against the lower plate piece 11b.

[0018] FIG. 7 shows different shapes of the mounting base of a hanging display device, and the one shown in FIG. 7(c) corresponds to the mounting base 2 of the above embodiment. That is, as described above, this mounting base 2 has an arc-shaped notch 13 formed at the lower end of the lower plate piece 11b. However, this arc-shaped notch 13 is for design purposes, and the lower end 13 of the lower plate piece 11b may be linear without providing a notch as in FIG. 7(b). On the other hand, the mounting base 2 shown in FIG. 7(a) has a deeper arc-shaped notch 13 than the one shown in FIG. 7(c), and it spans not only the lower plate piece 11b but also the upper plate piece 11a. Therefore, when the product hanging display device is attached to the horizontal rod member 1, unlike those shown in Figures 7(c) and 7(b), the entire corner of the front lower end of the horizontal rod member 1 does not abut against the abutment portion which is the bent portion between the upper plate piece 11a and the lower plate piece 11b. In other words, since the mounting base 2 shown in Figure 7(a) has a shape in which the abutment portion which is the bent portion between the upper plate piece 11a and the lower plate piece 11b is divided into two portions, the right and left, inevitably only the left and right corners of the front lower end of the horizontal rod member 1 abut. However, even if the entire corner of the front lower end of the horizontal rod member 1 does not abut against the bent portion between the upper plate portion 11a and the lower plate portion 11b, as in the mounting base 2 shown in Figures 7(c) and 7(b), if the corner of the front lower end of the horizontal rod member 1 abuts at two points, as in the mounting base 2 shown in Figure 7(a), it is possible to prevent the product hanging display device from rotating and coming off the horizontal rod member 1.
