[0014] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the rail mounting tool of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The rail mounting tool of the present invention is used to mount a POS rail to a shelf (e.g., a product display shelf). In the following description, the front-to-rear direction of the shelf is designated as FR, the width direction of the shelf as W, and the height direction of the shelf as H. [First embodiment]

[0015] The rail mounting fixture 11 of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 14. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the shelf 12 has a plurality of shelf boards 13 spaced apart in the vertical direction, a plurality of rail mounting fixtures 11 provided on each of the plurality of shelf boards 13, and a plurality of POS rails 14 attached to the shelf boards 13 via the plurality of rail mounting fixtures 11. As shown in Fig. 3, a sheet 15 or the like carrying information about products or services, such as product POP or price tags, is attached to the POS rails 14 by means of insertion or the like. The POS rails 14 are made of wood, but may be made of resin that imitates wood. Alternatively, the POS rails 14 may be made of metal or transparent resin.

[0016] 3 to 5, the rail mounting tool 11 includes a first member 21 that is directly attached to the shelf board 13, a second member 22 that is configured to be rotatable relative to the first member 21, a rotating shaft 23 that is provided integrally with the second member 22, and a bearing portion 24 and a second bearing portion 25 that are provided on the first member 21. The second member 22 is provided forward of the first member 21.

[0017] The first member 21 is integrally molded, for example, from resin. The first member 21 may be formed by bending a metal material by press processing. As shown in Figs. 5, 9, and 10, the first member 21 has an attachment portion 31 attached to the shelf board 13, a support portion 32 extending from the attachment portion 31, and a lever 33 extending from the attachment portion 31. As shown in Fig. 3, the attachment portion 31 has a first attachment portion 35 that is continuous with the upper end of the support portion 32 and engages with a groove portion 34 on the upper surface of the shelf board 13, and a second attachment portion 37 that is continuous with the lower end of the support portion 32 and engages with a protruding portion 36 on the lower surface of the shelf board 13. The first attachment portion 35 extends rearward from the upper end of the support portion 32 and is formed to have a hook-shaped cross section. The second attachment portion 37 extends rearward from the lower end of the support portion 32 in a plate-like shape. The second mounting portion 37 has a first projection 41 that can engage with the protruding portion 36 on the underside of the shelf board 13, and a second projection 42 that can similarly engage with a protruding portion on the underside of the shelf board 13 that has a different shape.

[0018] As shown in Figures 9 and 10, the support portion 32 is formed in a flat plate shape. The support portion 32 has an abutment piece 43 that extends from a substantially middle portion in the height direction of the support portion 32 toward the rear shelf board 13 side. The abutment piece 43 can abut against the shelf board 13 at its tip as necessary, and can ensure a space for the rotating shaft 23 to rotate. In addition, the abutment piece 43 prevents the rotating shaft 23 from directly abutting against the shelf board 13, allowing the rotating shaft 23 and the second member 22 to rotate smoothly.

[0019] The support part 32 is formed in a flat plate shape so as to extend from the second mounting part 37 constituting the mounting part 31 and to be continuous with the first mounting part 35. The support part 32 has a bearing part 24 and a second bearing part 25 arranged vertically at a predetermined interval. The support part 32 has a pair of projections 45 that project toward the front side to which the second member 22 is attached. As shown in Figs. 4 and 11, the pair of projections 45 are provided on both sides sandwiching the second member 22 at a second position P2 described later.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 9, the bearing portion 24 is formed as a through hole penetrating the support portion 32. The bearing portion 24 rotatably supports the rotating shaft 23. 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 attached and detached via the long diameter portion 47. In addition, the rotating shaft 23 is configured so that a hook portion 52 described later is hooked on the circular portion 46, and the rotating shaft 23 cannot be attached and detached from the circular portion 46. The long diameter portion 47 has a diameter large enough to insert and remove the hook portion 52 of the rotating shaft 23. The second bearing portion 25 is formed in the same shape as the bearing portion 24.

[0021] Lever 33 protrudes, for example, diagonally downward from the end of second mounting portion 37 of mounting part 31 opposite support portion 32. Lever 33 is formed integrally with second mounting portion 37, and when a store manager presses lever 33 downward, second mounting portion 37 deforms and the engagement of second mounting portion 37 with protruding portion 36 on the underside is released, making it possible to remove rail mounting device 11 from shelf board 13.

[0022] The second member 22 is integrally molded from, for example, resin. The second member 22 may be formed by bending a metal material by press processing. As shown in Figs. 5 to 8, the second member 22 has a cross section formed into a substantially "C" shape when cut vertically. As shown in Figs. 4 to 6, the second member 22 has a main body 53 in the shape of a long and narrow rectangular plate, a first gripping portion 54 protruding from one end (upper end) of the main body 53, a second gripping portion 55 protruding from the other end (lower end) of the main body 53, and a protrusion 56 provided on the surface of the main body 53 facing the POS rail 14.

[0023] As shown in Figs. 3 and 6, the first gripping portion 54 is formed in a hook shape with a hook-like cross section, and can hold one end (e.g., the upper end) of the POS rail 14. The second gripping portion 55 is formed in a hook shape with a hook-like cross section, and can hold the other end (e.g., the lower end) of the POS rail 14. As shown in Figs. 3 and 6, when the second member 22 is in the lower attachment position S1, the first gripping portion 54 holds the upper side of the POS rail 14, and the second gripping portion 55 holds the lower side of the POS rail 14. On the other hand, as shown in Figs. 7 and 12, when the second member 22 is in the upper attachment position S2, the first gripping portion 54 holds the lower side of the POS rail 14, and the second gripping portion 55 holds the upper side of the POS rail 14. In this manner, which portions of the POS rail 14 are gripped by the first gripping portion 54 and the second gripping portion 55 is determined by the position of the second member 22.

[0024] The protrusion 56 is formed in a substantially hemispherical shape and is convex toward the POS rail 14 so as to contact the POS rail 14. The protrusion 56 can abut at its tip against the POS rail 14 held by the first holding portion 54 and the second holding portion 55. The protrusion 56 can push the POS rail 14 forward by abutting against the POS rail 14. This causes the POS rail 14 to elastically deform the first holding portion 54 and the second holding portion 55 in a direction in which they open outward, and frictional forces can be applied at three points: a point where the first holding portion 54 and the POS rail 14 contact each other, a point where the second holding portion 55 and the POS rail 14 contact each other, and a point where the protrusion 56 and the POS rail 14 contact each other. This makes it possible to prevent the POS rail 14 from sliding sideways relative to the rail mounting tool 11.

[0025] 7 and 8, the rotating shaft 23 protrudes from a surface of the main body 53 of the second member 22 opposite to the surface facing the POS rail 14. The rotating shaft 23 is provided at a position eccentric to the middle part in the longitudinal direction of the main body 53. In other words, the rotating shaft 23 is provided at a position deviated from the approximate middle part between the first gripping portion 54 and the second gripping portion 55.

[0026] The rotating shaft 23 is detachable from the bearing portion 24 and the second bearing portion 25. The rotating shaft 23 has a cylindrical shaft portion 51 directly connected to a main body 53, and a hook portion 52 provided at the tip of the shaft portion 51. The hook portion 52 is formed in a small piece shape that protrudes outward from the shaft portion 51 in the radial direction of the shaft portion 51.

[0027] Next, the operation of the rail mounting tool 11 of this embodiment will be described with reference to Figs. 3 to 5 and Figs. 11 to 14 and the like.

[0028] In order to install the POS rail 14 on the shelf board 13, the store manager attaches the first member 21 to the shelf board 13. At that 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 board 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 board 13. In this way, the first member 21 is attached to the front side of the shelf board 13.

[0029] Next, the second member 22 is attached to the first member 21. As shown in Fig. 11, the second member 22 is placed in the first position P1 in a horizontal state, and the rotating shaft 23 is inserted into the bearing portion 24. At that time, the hook portion 52 of the rotating shaft 23 is inserted into the long diameter portion 47 of the bearing portion 24. In this state, the second member 22 becomes rotatable around the rotating shaft 23 relative to the first member 21.

[0030] 11, the second member 22 can be attached to the first member 21 by placing the second member 22 in the vertically elongated second position P2. At that time, the second member 22 can move from the first position P1 to the second position P2 by climbing over one of the pair of protrusions 45. The second member 22 that has moved to the second position P2 (subscript position S1) is held in that position by the pair of protrusions 45, so that its posture is stable.

[0031] The POS rail 14 is attached to the second member 22 fixed to the first member 21. Since the second member 22 is flexible as a whole, the POS rail 14 may be attached to the first gripping portion 54 first, or the POS rail 14 may be attached to the second gripping portion 55. When the POS rail 14 is attached to 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 attached to the second gripping portion 55 first, the POS rail 14 is then engaged with the first gripping portion 54. By gripping the POS rail 14 with the first gripping portion 54 and the second gripping portion 55, the POS rail 14 can be attached to the rail mounting tool 11.

[0032] On the other hand, when the products displayed on the shelf board 13 are replaced, the installation height of the POS rail 14 can be adjusted according to the height of the back of the product. For example, as shown in FIG. 12, the second member 22 is rotated relative to the first member 21 to change the second member 22 from the lower position S1 to the upper position S2, thereby shifting the installation height of the POS rail 14 upward. To change the installation height of the POS rail 14 in this manner, the POS rail 14 is once removed from the second member 22, and the second member 22 is rotated 180° from the lower position S1 to the upper position S2. In this state, the POS rail 14 is attached to the second member 22 again, thereby easily changing the installation height of the POS rail 14.

[0033] Furthermore, the installation height of the POS rail 14 can be adjusted more precisely by using the second bearing portion 25. With the POS rail 14 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 fix the second member 22 to the first member 21 by inserting the rotating shaft 23 into the second bearing portion 25 and moving the second member 22 from the first position P1 to the second position P2. At that time, by setting the second member 22 to the lower position S1, the POS rail 14 can be installed at the lowest installation height as shown in FIG. 13. Alternatively, by setting the second member 22 to the upper position S2 as shown in FIG. 14, the second member 22 can be installed at an intermediate installation height.

[0034] On the other hand, when removing the rail mounting fixture 11 from the shelf board 13, with the POS rail 14 removed from the second member 22, the lever 33 is pressed down, whereby the engagement of the second mounting portion 37 with the protruding portion 36 on the underside of the shelf board 13 is released, and the rail mounting fixture 11 can be easily removed from the shelf board 13.

[0035] According to this embodiment, the following can be said: The rail mounting tool 11 includes a first member 21 having an attachment portion 31 attached to the shelf board 13 and a support portion 32 extending from the attachment portion 31, a main body 53, a second member 22 having a first gripping portion 54 protruding from the main body 53 and capable of gripping one end of the POS rail 14, and a second gripping portion 55 protruding from the main body 53 and capable of gripping the other end of the POS rail 14, a rotating shaft 23 provided integrally with either the support portion 32 or the main body 53 and provided at a position away from the approximate middle portion of the first gripping portion 54 and the second gripping portion 55, and a bearing portion 24 provided on the other of the support portion 32 or the main body 53 and rotatably supporting the rotating shaft 23. Additionally, the shelf 12 is provided with the rail mounting fixture 11 described above.

[0036] According to these configurations, the rotation axis 23 is provided at a position offset from approximately the middle between the first gripping portion 54 and the second gripping portion 55, so that the second member 22 can be installed at two different installation heights, that is, the upper attachment position S2 and the lower attachment position S1, with an extremely simple structure. Therefore, the position of the second member 22 can be appropriately selected depending on the height of the back of the product to be installed on the shelf board 13, and a user-friendly rail mounting tool 11 can be realized.

[0037] In this case, the rotating shaft 23 is detachable from the bearing portion 24. According to this configuration, the second member 22 can be detached from the first member 21, which improves user convenience during cleaning and the like.

[0038] The rail mounting fixture 11 is provided on the other of the support portion 32 and the main body 53, and is equipped with a second bearing portion 25 that is provided at a predetermined distance from the bearing portion 24, and rotatably supports the rotating shaft 23, and the rotating shaft 23 is freely attachable and detachable to the second bearing portion 25.

[0039] According to this configuration, by attaching the rotating shaft 23 to the second bearing portion 25, the second member 22 can be placed in two different positions, that is, at a so-called upper attachment position S2 and a lower attachment position S1.

[0040] The main body 53 has a protrusion 56 that protrudes toward the POS rail 14 so as to come into contact with the POS rail 14. With this configuration, a frictional force can be applied to the POS rail 14. This makes it possible to prevent problems such as the POS rail 14 slipping sideways relative to the rail mounting tool 11 from occurring.

[0041] The second member 22 is rotatable about a rotation axis 23 between a first position P1 at which it is detachable from the first member 21 and a second position P2 at which the POS rail 14 can be held in a position visible to the customer, and the support portion 32 has a pair of protrusions 45 provided on both sides of the second member 22 at the second position P2, and the second member 22 is movable from the first position P1 to the second position P2 by climbing over either of the pair of protrusions 45.

[0042] According to this configuration, since the pair of protrusions 45 are disposed at positions sandwiching the second member 22 at the second position P2 from both sides, it is possible to stabilize the posture of the second member 22 at the second position P2. This makes it possible to prevent the second member 22 from falling off the first member 21 at a timing unintended by the user.

[0043] In this embodiment, the pair of protrusions 45 are provided on the support portion 32 of the first member 21, but the installation position of the pair of protrusions 45 is not limited to this configuration. In a modification of this embodiment, the pair of protrusions 45 can be provided on the main body 53 of the second member 22, not on the support portion 32. The pair of protrusions 45 protrude from the main body 53 toward the rear side where the first member 21 is located. In this modification, when the second member 22 is in the second position P2, the main body 53 is formed to be wider in the width direction W than the support portion 32. When the second member 22 is in the second position P2, the pair of protrusions 45 are provided so as to be disposed on both sides of the support portion 32. The second member 22 can move from the first position P1 to the second position P2 by the support portion 32 climbing over one of the pair of protrusions 45. In this modification, when the second member 22 is in the second position P2, the support portion 32 is sandwiched between the pair of protrusions 45, so that the second member 22 can be stably held at the second position P2. This makes it possible to prevent the POS rail 14 and the second member 22 from falling off the first member 21 unintentionally by the store manager.

[0044] According to the above modified example, the following can be said: The second member 22 is rotatable about the rotation axis 23 between a first position P1 where the second member 22 is detachable from the first member 21 and a second position P2 where the POS rail 14 can be held in a position visible to the customer, the main body 53 has a pair of protrusions 45, the pair of protrusions 45 are disposed on both sides of the support portion 32 when the second member 22 is in the second position P2, and the support portion 32 can ride over either of the pair of protrusions 45 when the second member 22 moves from the first position P1 to the second position P2.

[0045] According to this configuration, since the pair of protrusions 45 are disposed on the main body 53 at positions sandwiching the support portion 32 from both sides, it is possible to stabilize the posture of the second member 22 at the second position P2. This makes it possible to prevent the second member 22 from falling off the first member 21 at a timing unintended by the user.

[0046] In the following embodiment, differences from the above embodiment will be mainly described, and illustrations or descriptions of parts common to the above embodiment will be omitted. [Second embodiment]

[0047] A rail mounting tool 11 of the second embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 15 and 16. The rail mounting tool 11 of this embodiment differs from the first embodiment in the shape of the first member 21, but other configurations are common to the first embodiment.

[0048] The first member 21 has an attachment portion 31, but the lever 33 is omitted. The support portion 32 extends forward from the upper end of the attachment portion 31. The attachment portion 31 has a cross section in a mountain shape. The shape of the support portion 32 is the same as in the first embodiment.

[0049] The shelf board 13 has a different shape from that of the first embodiment, and has a bag-shaped recess 61 at the front that opens upward. The first member 21 can be fixed to the shelf board 13 by inserting the attachment portion 31 into this recess 61.

[0050] The second member 22 can be fixed to the first member 21 by passing the rotating shaft 23 through the bearing portion 24. In this case, as shown in Fig. 15, the second member 22 can be fixed at a lower attachment position S1, or at an upper attachment position S2 rotated 180° around the rotating shaft 23 and bearing portion 24. In this way, the POS rail 14 can be installed at an appropriate installation height.

[0051] In addition, the second member 22 can adjust the installation height of the POS rail 14 to a different height from the above by passing the rotating shaft 23 through the second bearing portion 25. In this case, the second member 22 can be fixed to the first member 21 at a lower attachment position or at an upper attachment position S2.

[0052] According to this embodiment, even if the shape of the shelf 13 is different, the position of the second member 22 can be appropriately selected depending on the height of the product to be placed on the display shelf 12, etc., thereby realizing a user-friendly rail mounting fixture 11. [Third embodiment]

[0053] A rail mounting tool 11 of the third embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 17 and 18. In the rail mounting tool 11 of this embodiment, a rotating shaft 23 is provided on the first member 21 side. A bearing portion 24 and a second bearing portion 25 provided at a predetermined gap dimension from the bearing portion 24 are provided on the second member 22 side.

[0054] In this embodiment, the first member 21 can be fixed to the second member 22 by passing the rotating shaft 23 through the bearing portion 24. In this case, similar to the first embodiment, the second member 22 can be installed both at the lower position S1 and at the upper position S2 rotated 180° around the rotating shaft 23 from the lower position S1.

[0055] By passing the rotating shaft 23 through the second bearing portion 25, the second member 22 and the POS rail 14 can be installed at an installation height different from that in the case where the rotating shaft 23 is passed through the bearing portion 24. Even in this case, the second member 22 can be installed both at the lower attachment position S1 and at the upper attachment position S2 rotated 180° around the rotating shaft 23 from the lower attachment position S1.

[0056] According to this embodiment, even when the rotating shaft 23 is provided on the first member 21 side and the bearing portion 24 and the second bearing portion 25 are provided on the second member 22 side, the installation height of the POS rail 14 can be set precisely.
