Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a product display hook for hanging and displaying products, and a product display unit including such a display hook and a board for supporting the hook. [Background technology]

[0002] BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, in supermarkets, drug stores, convenience stores, and the like, product display hooks having rod-shaped product hanging bars protruding forward are attached to a board-shaped base, and a large number of products are hung from the product hanging bars for display.

[0003] Various structures for attaching hooks to bases have been known. For example, in Patent Document 1, a hook clip made of biodegradable resin is inserted into an opening in a mount, which is the base, and fitted and fixed. However, with this attachment structure, although the hook can be attached and fixed to the mount by the clip, the hook cannot be removed from the mount. This means that, due to the requirement for separate disposal, the mount must be destroyed to separate the hook and mount when discarding, which is a significant hassle.

[0004] Therefore, in Patent Document 2, the locking part of the hook is inserted into the opening of the mount, which is the base, and the hook is rotated to rotate the locking part and lock the locking part to the mount, making it possible to attach and detach the hook to and from the mount. According to this, when disposing of the product, the hook can be detached from the mount by rotating the hook in the opposite direction to the rotation direction when attached, and the hook can be disposed of separately without destroying the mount. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Registered Utility Model No. 3079545 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-255083 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] However, even in the above-mentioned Patent Document 2, if a large number of hooks are attached to the backing, when removing all the hooks from the backing, the hooks must be rotated one by one as many times as the number of hooks, which is a tedious task.

[0007] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has as its object to provide a merchandise display hook and a merchandise display unit in which the hook can be quickly attached to and detached from the base. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The present invention provides a hook for displaying merchandise that is detachably attached to an opening of a board-shaped base body and is used to hang and display merchandise, a support portion supported on the base body; and a hanging bar extending from the support portion and on which a plurality of products are hung; The support portion has an insertion portion that is inserted into the opening of the base body in a fitted state, and a locking portion that is detachably locked to the base body by inserting the insertion portion into the opening body in one direction. It is characterized by:

[0009] According to the above-described configuration of the present invention, the locking portion is locked to the base by simply inserting the insertion portion into the opening of the base in one direction, so that there is no need to perform unnecessary operations such as rotation after inserting the insertion portion into the opening, and the hook can be attached to the base more quickly than before (the hook can be attached to the base with one touch). Moreover, because the locking portion is detachably attached to the base, the hook can be removed from the base when discarded, and the base can be disposed of separately without destroying it.

[0010] In the above configuration, the locking portion preferably has a locking protrusion provided on the underside of the insertion portion that locks onto the back surface of the base, and a locking piece extending from the upper surface of the insertion portion and elastically deforming when inserted into the opening together with the insertion portion to resiliently lock onto the back surface of the base. This double locking structure, consisting of the locking protrusion and the locking piece, enables the hook to be securely attached to the base, and since both the locking protrusion and the locking piece lock onto the back surface of the base, it is possible to reliably prevent the hook from coming off the base after the hook is attached to the base. In this case, it is even more preferable that the opening of the base have a first opening region through which the insertion portion is inserted in an engaged state, and a second opening region that communicates with the first opening region and through which the locking piece is inserted in an engaged state. With this, the insertion portion and the locking piece that are inserted into the opening are both fitted into the opening area, so that the lateral (left-right) and / or up-down movement of the hook can be restricted, and the insertion portion and the locking piece can be inserted stably when the hook (support portion) is attached to the base.Even after attachment, the posture of the hook remains stable, ensuring good display of the product.

[0011] In the above configuration, it is preferable that the locking piece has a convex portion that extends in an arc shape from the upper surface of the insertion portion and that resiliently locks onto the back surface of the base, and that an operating portion that can be operated with a finger extends from the opening toward the hanging bar when the convex portion is locked. In this configuration, the resiliently locked state of the locking piece generates a force that resists the force in the direction in which the hook is pulled out of the base, thereby reliably preventing the hook from pulling out, while the locked state of the locking piece can be easily released by elastically deforming the operating portion, making it easy to remove the hook from the base.

[0012] In the above configuration, the locking projection may be formed so as to protrude downward by a first tapered surface that forms the lower surface of the insertion portion and extends obliquely downward from the end of the insertion portion toward the suspension bar, and a second tapered surface that forms the lower surface of the insertion portion and extends obliquely upward from the lower end of the first tapered surface toward the suspension bar. In this case, it is preferable that the second tapered surface form an engagement groove that releasably engages with the edge of an opening having a thickness of the base when the locking projection is engaged with the back surface of the base. Such a tapered engagement groove is very advantageous in that it can accommodate a predetermined range of base thicknesses and is compatible with multiple types of bases with different thicknesses.

[0013] The locking portion provided on the underside of the insertion portion may be in the form of a locking groove instead of a locking protrusion. Such a locking groove may be formed by tapered surfaces that have a tapered relationship opposite to that of the engagement protrusion. That is, the locking groove may be formed so as to be concave upward by a first tapered surface that forms the underside of the insertion portion and extends obliquely upward from the end of the insertion portion toward the suspension bar, and a second tapered surface that forms the underside of the insertion portion and extends obliquely downward from the upper end of the first tapered surface toward the suspension bar.

[0014] In the above configuration, it is preferable that the support portion further has an abutment portion that abuts against the surface of the base after the insertion portion has been inserted into the opening in one direction, and the locking portion detachably locks with the base when the abutment portion abuts against the surface of the base. This allows the degree of insertion of the insertion portion into the opening of the base to be regulated by the abutment portion (the insertion amount can be defined to prevent excessive insertion), while the locking position by the locking portion can be defined by the abutment between the surface of the base and the abutment portion.

[0015] Furthermore, in the above configuration, it is preferable that the hook has a plurality of first ribs extending from the abutment portion toward the hanging bar and a plurality of second ribs extending from the abutment portion on the opposite side of the first ribs, and that the plurality of second ribs form the insertion portion. This allows the plurality of ribs to reinforce the area around the support portion and also distribute the load acting on the hook due to the hanging of a product, etc. In this case, it is preferable that the plurality of ribs extend in a plurality of different directions (for example, extending crossing each other in the up, down, left, and right directions). This makes it possible to prevent the hook from rotating relative to the base, stabilize the position of the hook, and also makes it possible to reduce the weight of the insertion portion due to the ribbed structure of the insertion portion.

[0016] The present invention also provides a product display unit including a product display hook having the above-described configuration and a board-like base having at least one opening. [Effects of the Invention]

[0017] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a merchandise display hook and a merchandise display unit in which the hook can be quickly attached to and detached from the base. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 7] 10A is a rear view of a merchandise display hook according to a modified example of the present invention, seen from the support part side, and FIG. 10B is a perspective view of the merchandise display hook of FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0019] Fig. 1 shows a product display unit 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 1(a) is a front view of the product display unit 1 formed by attaching product display hooks 10 according to this embodiment to a base 50, viewed from slightly below (at the hook-shaped tip 15 side of the product display hooks 10), and Fig. 1(b) is a plan view of the product display unit 1 in this attached state, viewed from above.

[0020] As shown in the figure, this product display unit 1 is configured such that product display hooks 10 for hanging and displaying products are detachably attached to openings 55 (see FIG. 3) in a board-shaped base 50. Note that in this embodiment, the product display unit 1 is shown in which one opening 55 is provided in the base 50 and only one product display hook 10 is attached to this base 50, but in reality, the product display unit 1 may be configured such that the base 50 has multiple openings 55 and a number of product display hooks 10 corresponding to the number of openings 55 are attached to this single base 50.

[0021] Fig. 2 shows the merchandise display hook 10 of Fig. 1 by itself. Also, Fig. 3(a) shows a cross-sectional view along line AA in Fig. 1(a) before the merchandise display hook 10 is attached to the base body 50, i.e., before the insertion portion 18 of the merchandise display hook 10 is inserted into the opening 55 of the base body 50, and Fig. 3(b) shows a perspective view in the state of Fig. 3(a).

[0022] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the product display hook 10 has a support portion 14 supported by a base 50, a hanging bar 21 that extends to protrude from the support portion 14 and on which multiple products are hooked and hung, and a hook-shaped tip portion 15 that is formed at the tip of the hanging bar 21 and prevents the products hooked and hung on the hanging bar 21 from easily slipping out of the hanging bar 21.

[0023] The support portion 14 has an insertion portion 18 that is inserted into an opening 55 (see Figure 3) of the base 50 in a fitted state, and a locking portion that is detachably locked to the base 50 by inserting the insertion portion 18 into the opening 55 in one direction.

[0024] In particular, in this embodiment, the locking portion has a locking protrusion 30 provided on the underside 41 of the insertion portion 18 and locking onto the back surface 50b of the base 50, and a locking piece 17 extending from the upper surface 42 of the insertion portion 18 and elastically deforming when inserted into the opening 55 together with the insertion portion 18, thereby resiliently locking onto the back surface 50b of the base 50.

[0025] 3, the base 50 to which the product display hook 10 is attached is made of a flat backing or resin, and has at least one opening 55 (one in this embodiment) for attaching the product display hook 10. In this case, the opening 55 has a wide first opening region 54 through which the insertion portion 18 of the product display hook 10 is inserted in an engaged state, and a narrow second opening region 52 that communicates with the first opening region 54 and through which the locking piece 17 is inserted in an engaged state.

[0026] The locking piece 17 forming the locking portion of the product display hook 10 has a curved portion 17a extending upward in an arc from the upper surface 42 of the insertion portion 18, a convex portion 17b bent downward at the upper end of the curved portion 17a so as to be able to resiliently lock onto the back surface 50b of the base body 50, and an operating portion 17c operable with a finger that extends from the opening 55 (second opening region 52) toward the hanging bar 21 when the convex portion 17b is completely locked onto the back surface 50b of the base body 50 (see FIG. 5). In this case, the convex portion 17b forms an abutting surface 17ba that can abut against the back surface 50b of the base body 50 in the locked state. Furthermore, the operating portion 17c of the locking piece 17 is set to have a width greater than the width of the second opening region 52. Therefore, only the curved portion 17a and the convex portion 17b of the locking piece 17 are inserted into the second opening region 52 in a fitted state. When the locking piece 17 is inserted into the second opening region 52 in a forced manner in a fitted state, the convex portion 17b is pressed by the upper edge of the second opening region 52 and elastically deforms while receiving a downward force (the curved portion 17a is reduced in diameter), thereby allowing the curved portion 17a and the convex portion 17b to be inserted into the second opening region 52. When the pushing force causes the convex portion 17b of the locking piece 17 to get over the upper edge of the second opening region 52, the downward pressing force is released and the locking piece 17 elastically returns to its original shape (the curved portion 17a is expanded), and the convex portion 17b elastically locks onto the back surface 50b of the base body 50, and the abutment surface 17ba abuts against the back surface 50b of the base body 50. At this point, the locking projection 30 also locks onto the back surface 50b of the base body 50 at the same time.

[0027] 6, the locking projection 30 forming the locking portion of the commodity display hook 10 is formed so as to protrude downward by a first tapered surface 41a which forms the lower surface 41 of the insertion portion 18 and extends obliquely downward from the end of the insertion portion 18 toward the hanging bar 21, and a second tapered surface 41b which forms the lower surface 41 of the insertion portion 18 and extends obliquely upward from the lower end 41aa of the first tapered surface 41a toward the hanging bar 21. In this case, the second tapered surface 41b forms an engagement groove 39 which releasably engages with an edge 59 of an opening 55 (first opening region 54) having a thickness T of the base 50 when the locking projection 30 is engaged with the back surface 50b of the base 50 (the state of FIG. 6). Such a tapered engagement groove 39 is extremely advantageous in that it can accommodate a predetermined range of thicknesses of the substrate 50 and is therefore compatible with a variety of substrates 50 having different thicknesses.

[0028] The support portion 14 of the product display hook 10 further includes an abutting portion 20 that abuts against the surface 50a of the base 50 after the insertion portion 18 is inserted in one direction through the opening 55 (first opening region 54) of the base 50. In this embodiment, when the abutting portion 20 abuts against the surface 50a of the base 50, the aforementioned locking portions 17, 30 are removably locked to the back surface 50b of the base 50. Such abutting portion 20 is useful because it can regulate the degree of insertion of the insertion portion 18 into the opening 55 (first opening region 54) of the base 50 (preventing excessive insertion by restricting the insertion amount of the insertion portion 18), while also determining the locking position of the locking portions 17, 30 by abutting against the surface 50a of the base 50. However, as a modified example, the abutting portion 20 may not be provided.

[0029] 2 and 3, the product display hook 10 of this embodiment has a plurality of first ribs 31, 32 extending from the abutting portion 20 toward the hanging bar 21, and a plurality of second ribs 18a-18e extending from the abutting portion 20 on the opposite side of the first ribs 31, 32. In this embodiment, the insertion portion 18 is formed by the plurality of second ribs 18a-18e. In this case, the plurality of first ribs 31, 32 extend in the vertical direction from the upper and lower surfaces of the hanging bar 21, respectively. Meanwhile, the plurality of second ribs 18a-18e extend in a plurality of directions different from one another. Particularly in this embodiment, these second ribs 18a-18e extend so as to intersect with one another in the vertical and horizontal directions.

[0030] Specifically, the plurality of second ribs are composed of a flat central vertical rib 18c extending in a vertical plane along the up-down direction at approximately the center of the abutting portion 20 so as to move away from the abutting portion 20, flat upper horizontal ribs 18a, 18b extending in a horizontal plane on both the left and right sides of the central vertical rib 18c, and flat lower horizontal ribs 18d, 18e extending in the horizontal plane below the upper horizontal ribs 18a, 18b on both the left and right sides of the central vertical rib 18c at a predetermined distance from them. In this case, the upper surface 42 of the insertion portion 18 is formed by the upper horizontal ribs 18a, 18b, and the lower surface 41 of the insertion portion 18 is formed by the lower horizontal ribs 18d, 18e.

[0031] With this rib structure, the plurality of ribs 18a-18e, 31, 32 can reinforce the vicinity of the support portion 14, and the plurality of ribs 18a-18e, 31, 32 can also distribute the load acting on the hook 10 when a product is hung, etc. Furthermore, the plurality of second ribs 18a-18e forming the insertion portion 18 can also contribute to preventing rotation of the hook 10 relative to the base body 50, improving the positional stability of the hook 10, and reducing the weight of the insertion portion 18.

[0032] In this embodiment, the locking piece 17, locking projection 30, insertion portion 18, ribs 18a to 18e, 31, 32, bar 21, tip portion 15, and contact portion 20 are all integrally molded from resin.

[0033] In the product display unit 1 configured as described above, when attaching the product display hooks 10 to the base 50, first, as shown in Figure 3, with the support parts 14 of the product display hooks 10 facing the openings 55 of the base 50, the insertion parts 18 and the locking pieces 17 of the product display hooks 10 are inserted by pushing them in one direction into the first opening area 54 and the second opening area 52 of the opening 55, respectively, as indicated by the arrows. Because the insertion parts 18 and the locking pieces 17 inserted into the openings 55 are both fitted into the opening areas 54, 52, the lateral (left-right) and / or vertical movement of the hooks 10 is restricted, allowing for stable insertion of the insertion parts 18 and the locking pieces 17.

[0034] As the insertion portion 18 and the locking piece 17 are pushed into the opening regions 54, 52 in this manner, the protrusion 17b of the locking piece 17 is pressed by the upper edge of the second opening region 52, and the locking piece 17 is subjected to a downward force and elastically deforms (the curved portion 17a is reduced in diameter), thereby allowing the curved portion 17a and the protrusion 17b to be inserted into the second opening region 52. FIG. 4 shows a stage in the middle of the process of pushing the insertion portion 18 and the locking piece 17 into the opening regions 54, 52 with the locking piece 17 in such an elastically deformed state. From this state, if the insertion portion 18 and the locking piece 17 are further pushed in one direction into the opening regions 54, 52 as indicated by the arrow, the downward pressing force of the locking piece 17 is released and the locking piece 17 elastically returns to its original shape (the curved portion 17a is expanded) when the convex portion 17b passes over the upper edge of the second opening region 52, and the convex portion 17b resiliently locks with the back surface 50b of the base body 50, and the abutment surface 17ba comes into contact with the back surface 50b of the base body 50. At this point, the locking protrusion 30 also simultaneously locks with the back surface 50b of the base body 50, and the abutment portion 20 also abuts against the surface 50a of the base body 50, restricting further insertion of the insertion portion 18 and the locking piece 17 into the opening regions 54, 52. This state is shown in FIG.

[0035] 5, the hook 10 is prevented from coming off from the base body 50 by the locking action of the locking piece 17 and the locking protrusion 30, which are locked to the back surface 50b of the base body 50. That is, the double locking structure of the locking protrusion 30 and the locking piece 17 realizes strong attachment of the hook 10 to the base body 50. In addition, in this case, the resilient locking by the locking piece generates a reaction force that resists the force in the direction in which the hook comes off from the base body, so that the hook 10 can be reliably prevented from coming off from the base body 50.

[0036] In addition, in the installed state shown in Figure 5, the insertion portion 18 and the locking piece 17 inserted into the opening 55 are both fitted into the opening areas 54, 52, so that the lateral (left-right) and / or vertical movement of the hook 10 can be restricted, the posture of the hook 10 is stabilized, and good product display conditions can be ensured.

[0037] 5, to remove the product display hook 10 from the base 50, the operating portion 17c protruding forward from the opening 55 (second opening region 52) is simply pressed down (elastically deformed). This releases the locking state of the locking piece 17 with the base 50, and since the locking force of the locking protrusion 30 with respect to the base 50 is weaker than the resilient locking of the locking piece 17, the hook 10 can be easily and smoothly removed from the base 50 by the guide of the tapered surfaces 41b, 41a of the locking protrusion 30.

[0038] As explained above, according to the product display unit 1 of this embodiment, the locking portions 17, 30 are locked to the base 50 simply by inserting the insertion portion 18 into the opening 55 of the base 50 in one direction, so that there is no need to perform any unnecessary operations such as rotation after inserting the insertion portion 18 into the opening 55, and the hook 10 can be attached to the base 50 more quickly than before (the hook 10 can be attached to the base 50 with a single touch). Moreover, because the locking portions 17, 30 are detachably locked to the base 50, the hook 10 can be removed from the base 50 when it is time to discard it, and it can be disposed of separately without destroying the base 50.

[0039] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. For example, the shape of the insertion portion 18 is not limited to the above-described embodiments. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the insertion portion 18A may have a cross-shaped rib structure without the lower horizontal ribs 18d and 18e. The insertion portion may not have a rib structure. The shape of the locking piece 17, the number, shape, and location of the ribs, etc., can be freely determined. The locking portion does not have to be a locking piece or a locking protrusion, and the number of locking portions can also be freely determined. Furthermore, some or all of the above-described embodiments may be combined, or some components may be omitted from one of the above-described embodiments, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
