DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0017] An embodiment of an article forward-dispensing device of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The article forward-dispensing device of the present invention is installed on display shelves in a store to allow store managers to easily forward articles (merchandise). In particular, the article forward-dispensing device of this embodiment is capable of suitably forward-dispensing articles on shelves in a freezer case. In the following description, the front direction is designated as F, the rear direction as R, the width direction as W, and the height direction as H. [Embodiment]

[0018] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the article forward-dispensing device 11 comprises a base member 12 that is placed on a shelf of a display shelf, an abutment member 13 that is configured to be movable in the front-to-rear direction FR relative to the base member 12, and a pull-out tool 14 that extends in the front-to-rear direction so that the abutment member 13 can be pulled out to the front side F.

[0019] 1 to 8, the base member 12 has a base 16 on which an article 15 is placed, a storage section 17 provided inside the base 16, and an anti-slip section 18 standing up from the base 16. The base 16 includes a flat base main body 21 connected at its front end to the anti-slip section 18, a pair of rails 22 attached to the base main body 21, the storage section 17 provided across the interior of the base main body 21 and the inner sides of the pair of rails 22, a pair of holding grooves 23 provided in the base main body 21, a plurality of first engagement sections 24 provided in the base main body 21, and a pair of slope sections 25 provided between the pair of rails 22 and the storage section 17. Articles 15 are placed directly on the upper sides of the base main body 21 and the pair of rails 22 for display (see FIGS. 11 and 12).

[0020] The base body 21 is formed in the shape of a plate having a predetermined thickness. The base body 21 extends in the lateral direction (horizontal direction). The base body 21 has a part of the storage section 17 inside. The storage section 17 is formed as a through-hole that passes through the inside of the base body 21 in the lateral direction. The drawer 14 can be passed through this storage section 17. The base body 21 has an insertion piece 26 on its underside that is inserted into a groove formed in the shelf body of the display shelf to secure it in place.

[0021] As shown in Fig. 2, the pair of slope portions 25 are provided so as to protrude from the rear end of the base main body 21 to the rear side R. Each of the pair of slope portions 25 is formed obliquely so that its installation height increases as it approaches the base main body 21 (towards the front side F). The slope portions 25 are provided in pairs on both sides of the storage section 17. The slope portions 25 also serve as positioning portions that position the pulling tool 14 stored in the storage section 17 in the width direction W.

[0022] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 6, the pair of holding grooves 23 are formed at positions outside the through holes that form the storage section 17 in the width direction W. That is, the pair of holding grooves 23 are provided on both sides of the storage section 17. Each of the pair of first holding grooves 23 extends in the front-rear direction FR and is formed as a groove that opens outward in the width direction W. The holding groove 23 can hold a portion of the front side of the pair of rails 22 by sandwiching it. Furthermore, a raised piece 27 for holding the rail 22 in the holding groove 23 is provided at the rear end of the base main body 21 (holding groove 23).

[0023] As shown in FIG. 8 , each of the multiple first engagement portions 24 is configured as a hole extending in a width direction W intersecting with the front-rear direction FR. The first engagement portions 24 are provided discretely along the front-rear direction FR. Second engagement portions 28 of a pair of rails 22, which will be described later, can be inserted into and engaged with the holes of the first engagement portions 24. In this case, the second engagement portions 28 of the pair of rails 22 may be engaged with the first engagement portion 24 located at the foremost side F as shown in FIG. 8 , the first engagement portion 24 located at the rearmost side R as shown in FIG. 9 , or the first engagement portion 24 located at a middle position in the front-rear direction FR. In this way, by adjusting the mounting positions of the pair of rails 22, the length of the base 16 can be adjusted to match the depth dimensions of shelves (shelf boards) that vary by manufacturer.

[0024] As shown in FIG. 10 , the pair of rails 22 are formed by bending a metal wire, such as a steel wire, into a substantially rectangular (C-shaped) shape. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 10 , the pair of rails 22 includes a pair of rail main bodies 31 provided on both sides of the storage section 17, a connecting portion 32 provided at the rear end of the rail main bodies 31, and a second engagement portion 28 provided at the front end of the rail main bodies 31. One of the pair of rails 22 (rail main bodies 31) is connected to the other of the pair of rails 22 (rail main bodies 31) via the connecting portion 32. The second engagement portion 28 extends in the width direction W and can be inserted into a hole that forms the first engagement portion 24 to engage with the first engagement portion 24.

[0025] 1, 4, and 10, anti-slip portion 18 is flat and protrudes upward from the front end of base body 21. Anti-slip portion 18 has a through-hole 18A at the bottom for passing puller 14 through. Anti-slip portion 18 has a pair of reinforcing ribs 33 extending in the up-down direction near both ends in the width direction W.

[0026] The storage section 17 is provided across the interior of the base main body 21 and the inside of the pair of rails 22. The storage section 17 is formed as a hollow through-hole that penetrates the base main body 21 inside the base main body 21. The storage section 17 is also configured as a hollow at a position inside the pair of rails 22. The pulling tool 14 can be stored in this storage section 17.

[0027] 11 and 12, the abutting member 13 is provided on the rear side R of the article 15 and can bring the article 15 forward by abutting against the back surface of the article 15. The abutting member 13 is movable in the front-rear direction FR via a pair of rails 22. As shown in FIGS. 4, 7, and 10, the abutting member 13 has an abutting member main body 34 extending in the up-down direction (height direction H), a second through-hole 34A provided in the lower part of the abutting member main body 34, an edge portion 36 provided rearward of the second through-hole 34A and against which a hook portion 35 (described later) of the pulling tool 14 abuts, and a pair of second holding grooves 37 provided outward in the width direction W of the second through-hole 34A of the abutting member main body 34.

[0028] As shown in Fig. 4, the contact member body 34 is configured at an angle so that the installation height increases toward the rear. The second through-hole 34A is formed to extend in the front-rear direction FR. As shown in Fig. 7, the second through-hole 34A is formed in the shape of a rectangle that is elongated in the width direction W when viewed from the front. The pulling tool 14 can be passed through the inside of this second through-hole 34A.

[0029] As shown in Fig. 7, a pair of second holding grooves 37 are provided on both sides of the second through-hole 34A. As shown in Figs. 5 and 7, each of the second holding grooves 37 extends in the front-rear direction FR and is formed as a groove that opens outward in the width direction W. Furthermore, a second raised piece 38 for holding the rail 22 in the second holding groove 37 is provided near the opening (near the end) of the abutment member main body 34 (second holding groove 37).

[0030] The pull-out tool 14 is movable between a first position P1 in which it is stored in the storage section as shown in FIG. 1 and a second position P2 in which it is pulled out further forward than the first position as shown in FIG. 12.

[0031] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 10 , the puller 14 has a puller body 41 extending in the front-rear direction FR like an elongated flat plate, a finger hook 42 provided at a front end 41A, which is one end of the puller body 41, and a hook 35 provided at a rear end 41B, which is the other end of the puller body 41. The puller body 41 is formed, for example, from a resin material so as to be flexible in the thickness direction (height direction H). More specifically, it is formed from a flexible resin material such as PET or polycarbonate. The material of the puller body 41 is not limited to these. The puller body 41 may also be formed from a thin metal plate such as steel so as to be flexible in the thickness direction.

[0032] The dimension of finger hook 42 in the width direction W is formed to be larger than the dimension of through-hole 18A of anti-slip portion 18. Therefore, finger hook 42 functions as a stopper that abuts against anti-slip portion 18 when pulling out tool 14 from second position P2 where it is pulled out to the front side to return to first position P1 where it is stored in storage section 17.

[0033] Finger hook 42 has a hanging piece 42A that protrudes downward. That is, finger hook 42 is "L" shaped when viewed from the side, as shown in FIG. 5. Finger hook 42 may further have a small piece 42B that protrudes rearward from the lower end of hanging piece 42A. Providing small piece 42B makes it even easier for the store manager to hook his or her finger on finger hook 42.

[0034] The finger hook 42 is fixed to the front end of the drawer body 41, for example, by fitting a protrusion into a through-hole (not shown) provided in the front end of the drawer body 41 and sandwiching the front end from both sides. The method of fixing the finger hook 42 to the drawer body 41 is not limited to this, and it may be fixed by means of adhesive, screws, or the like.

[0035] As shown in FIGS. 4 and 10 , the hook portion 35 is provided on the rear side R of the abutment member 13. The hook portion 35 has an upright piece 43 that protrudes upward. That is, the hook portion 35 is L-shaped when viewed from the side. The upright piece 43 can abut against the edge portion 36 of the abutment member 13 from the rear side. Therefore, when the withdrawal tool 14 moves from the first position P1 to the second position P2, the hook portion 35 can abut against the abutment member 13 and pull the abutment member 13 outward. On the other hand, when the withdrawal tool 14 moves from the second position P2 to the first position P1, the hook portion 35 can separate from the abutment member 13 and move to the rear side R without abutting against the abutment member 13.

[0036] The hook portion 35 is fixed to the rear end portion of the pull-out tool main body 41, for example, by fitting a protrusion into a through-hole (not shown) provided in the rear end portion 41B of the pull-out tool main body 41 and sandwiching the rear end portion from both sides. The method of fixing the hook portion 35 to the pull-out tool main body 41 is not limited to this, and the hook portion 35 may be fixed by means of adhesive, screws, or the like.

[0037] Next, the operation of the article forward-dispensing device 11 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0038] As shown in FIG. 11 , when a customer visiting a store picks up an item 15 from the front side, the item 15 remains in stock at the back (rear side) of the shelf. A store manager places his / her finger on the finger hook 42 and pulls the puller 14 forward, causing the hook portion 35 to abut against the edge 36 of the abutting member 13, thereby moving the abutting member 13 forward. At this time, the abutting member 13 can move forward via the pair of rails 22. When the abutting member 13 abuts against the item 15 from the rear side, the item 15 can be brought forward.

[0039] That is, the store manager places his / her finger on the finger hook 42 and moves the puller 14 from the first position P1 stored in the storage section 17 to the second position P2 pulled out further forward than the first position P1, thereby allowing the article 15 on the base 16 to be pulled forward from the back of the shelf to the front. At this time, the article 15 placed on the pair of rails 22 is smoothly moved to the upper side of the base main body 21 via the pair of slope portions 25.

[0040] Because the drawer 14 is flexible in the thickness direction, it can be pulled out not only in the front-to-rear direction FR but also in a direction deviated from the front-to-rear direction FR (up-down direction, height direction H) as shown in Fig. 12. Therefore, as shown in Fig. 13, when the shelf board to which the article 15 is to be advanced is located at an extremely high position as seen from the store manager, such as the top shelf, the workability can be improved by pulling out the drawer 14 diagonally downward.

[0041] Similarly, as shown in Figure 14, when the shelf board to which the item 15 is to be advanced is at an extremely low position as seen from the store manager, such as the lowest shelf, workability can be improved by pulling out the drawer 14 diagonally upward.

[0042] Therefore, by using the article forward-dispensing device 11 of this embodiment, the store manager can smoothly perform the operation of forward-dispensing the article 15, regardless of the position of the shelf (shelf board) on which it is installed. After completing the forward dispensing of the article 15, the pull-out tool 14 is returned from the second position P2 to the first position P1, preventing the pull-out tool 14 from getting in the way. At this time, the hook portion 35 of the pull-out tool 14 is separated from the abutment member 13, allowing the abutment member 13 to remain in the forward-dispensed position. Therefore, the forward-dispensed article 15 will not tip over backward.

[0043] According to this embodiment, the following can be said: The article advance-feeding device 11 includes a base member 12 having a base 16 on which an article 15 is placed, a storage section 17 provided in the base 16, and an anti-tip section 18 standing up from the base 16, a contact member 13 configured to be movable in the front-to-rear direction relative to the base 16 and capable of contacting the back surface of the article 15, and a pull-out tool 14 having a flat plate shape extending in the front-to-rear direction FR and flexibility in its thickness direction, the pull-out tool 14 being movable between a first position P1 stored in the storage section 17 and a second position P2 pulled out forward from the first position P1, the pull-out tool 14 having a finger hook 42 provided at one end and a hook portion 35 provided at the other end opposite the one end, the hook portion 35 being capable of contacting the contact member 13 when moving from the first position P1 to the second position P2 and pulling the contact member 13 forward.

[0044] According to this configuration, the pullout device 14 is flexible in the thickness direction, so that the pullout device 14 can be pulled not only in the front-to-rear direction but also in a direction deviated from the front-to-rear direction by bending the pullout device 14 midway, thereby moving the pullout device 14 from the first position P1 to the second position P2. As a result, even if the installation height of the shelf on which the article advancement device 11 is installed is extremely low or high, the pullout device 14 can be appropriately bent in a direction that makes it easier for the store manager to work when advancing the article 15. This improves the workability when advancing the article 15.

[0045] In this case, the base 16 has a pair of rails 22 provided on both sides of the storage section 17, and the contact member 13 is movable in the front-rear direction via the pair of rails 22.

[0046] According to this configuration, when the drawer 14 is in the first position P1, the drawer 14 stored in the storage section 17 and the pair of rails 22 can be positioned so as not to interfere with each other. This prevents the thickness of the base 16 from increasing. This allows the items 15 to be efficiently displayed within the limited display space on the shelf board.

[0047] The base 16 has a plurality of first engagement portions 24 arranged discretely along the fore-and-aft direction FR, and each of the pair of rails 22 has a second engagement portion 28 arranged at the front end, which second engagement portion 28 can engage with any of the plurality of first engagement portions 24.

[0048] The depth dimension of the shelf board on which the article forward-dispensing device 11 is installed varies depending on the manufacturer. With the above configuration, the rail 22 can be engaged with any of the first engagement portions 24. This allows the depth dimension of the base 16 to be appropriately adjusted to match the depth dimension of the shelf board.

[0049] The pair of rails 22 are made of metal wire and have a connecting portion 32 at the rear end, and one of the pair of rails 22 is connected to the other of the pair of rails 22 via the connecting portion 32.

[0050] According to this configuration, the pair of rails 22 can be formed by bending a single metal wire, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the article advance-dispensing device 11. Furthermore, by providing the connecting portion 32, the abutting member 13 will not fall off from the rear end of the pair of rails 22.

[0051] Each of the multiple first engagement portions 24 is configured as a hole portion extending in a width direction W that intersects with the front-to-rear direction FR, and the second engagement portion 28 extends in the width direction W and can be inserted into the hole portion to engage with the first engagement portion 24.

[0052] According to this configuration, the pair of rails 22 including the second engagement portions 28 can be formed by bending a single metal wire, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the article advance-dispensing device 11. Furthermore, by bending the pair of rails 22 (the second engagement portions 28) so as to widen the gap between them about the connecting portion 32, the second engagement portions 28 can be very easily engaged with and disengaged from the first engagement portions 24. This makes it possible to easily adjust the length of the base 16 to match the depth of shelves, which differs depending on the manufacturer.

[0053] The base 16 has a base main body 21 connected to the anti-slip portion 18, and a slope portion 25 that is provided between the storage section 17 and the rail 22 and whose installation height increases as it approaches the base main body 21. With this configuration, when the article 15 is advanced, the slope portion 25 can smoothly guide the article 15 onto the base main body 21.

[0054] The slope portions 25 are provided as a pair on both sides of the storage portion 17, and also serve as positioning portions for positioning the pull-out tool 14 in the width direction W intersecting with the front-rear direction FR.

[0055] According to this configuration, the pulling tool 14 can be positioned by the slope portion 25, which also serves as the positioning portion. This simplifies the structure and reduces manufacturing costs compared to when the positioning portion is provided separately from the slope portion 25.

[0056] The hook portion 35 is provided rearward of the abutting member 13 and can be separated from the abutting member 13 when the pull-out tool 14 moves from the second position P2 to the first position P1.

[0057] According to this configuration, when the puller 14 is returned from the second position P2 to the first position P1, the contact member 13 can be left in the advanced position. This prevents the advanced article 15 from losing support and tipping backward.

[0058] The pull-out tool 14 is made of a resin material. With this configuration, the pull-out tool 14 that is flat and flexible in the thickness direction can be manufactured at low cost.

[0059] The above-described embodiment and modified examples can be implemented with various further substitutions and modifications. [Explanation of symbols]
