[0007] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described using examples.

Example 1

[0008] A first embodiment of the support according to the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 10. Figure 1 is a partially broken front view showing the support according to the first embodiment of the present invention in use, Figure 2 is a front view of the support in Figure 1, Figures 3 to 9 are the rear view, left side view, right side view, top view, bottom view, view from arrow A, view from arrow B of Figure 2, and Figure 10 is a perspective view of the support. In these diagrams, 1 is a display fence installed in a store, with numerous diamond-shaped meshes 2 formed by wire. 10 is a metal support that is detachably attached to the display fence 1. The support 10 is used to support a product package 50, as an example of an object to be supported, on the display fence 1.

[0009] The support member 10 can be detachably attached to the first and second slanted edges 3 and 4 on the upper left and right sides of any single mesh 2 of the display fence 1. The support member 10 has a support member body 11 that is roughly V-shaped when viewed from the front, and an L-shaped support rod 12 is provided projecting forward from the lower center of the support member body 11 as an example of a fastening part for securing and supporting an object to be supported, for example, by inserting the fastening hole 51 of the product package 50 and supporting it.

[0010] The support body 11, which is roughly V-shaped when viewed from the front, has an upper section that is divided into left and right halves and spaced apart. On the left and right sides of the upper section of the support body 11, there are first and second latching parts 30 and 40 that can be attached to the left and right first and second slanted edges. Specifically, the support body 11 has a V-shaped plate section 13 that is roughly V-shaped when viewed from the front, and from the upper left 45-degree inclined edge 14 of this V-shaped plate section 13 towards the rear, the cross section in the direction from the upper left diagonally to the lower right diagonally is bent into a U-shape (see Figures 6 and 8), forming a first latching part 30 consisting of the V-shaped plate section 13, the bent end surface section 15, and a back plate section 16 that is parallel to the V-shaped plate section 13 and inclined at a 45-degree angle. The first latching portion 30 is provided along the first slanted edge portion 3 of the mesh portion 2, inclined from the upper right to the lower left. Inside the first latching portion 30, a first insertion space 31 is formed between the V-shaped plate portion 13 and the back plate portion 16, which can be inserted into and removed from the first slanted edge portion 3 from above. The first insertion space 31 opens in a diagonal vertical direction along the first slanted edge portion 3 and in a diagonal downward direction along the second slanted edge portion 4.

[0011] From the upper right 45-degree inclined edge 17 of the V-shaped plate portion 13 toward the rear, the cross section in the direction from diagonally upper right to diagonally lower left is bent into a U-shape (see Figures 7 and 9), providing a bent end surface portion 18 and a back plate portion 19 that is parallel to the V-shaped plate portion 13 and inclined at a 45-degree angle. Inside the bent end surface portion 18, a rectangular intermediate plate portion 20, which is approximately the same shape as the back plate portion 19 and inclined at a 45-degree angle, is provided parallel to the V-shaped plate portion 13. The bent end surface portion 18, the back plate portion 19, and the intermediate plate portion 20 form a second latching portion 40. The second latching portion 40 is provided along the second slanted edge 4 of the mesh portion 2, sloping from the upper left to the lower right. Inside the second latching portion 40, a second insertion space 41 is formed between the V-shaped plate portion 13 and the back plate portion 19, which can be inserted into and removed from the second slanted edge portion 4 from above. The second insertion space 41 opens in a diagonal vertical direction along the second slanted edge portion 4 and in a diagonal downward direction along the first slanted edge portion 3.

[0012] The front view of the support body 11 is formed in a V shape, and the left and right first hooking parts 30 and second hooking parts 40 are spaced apart to the left and right, so that the first and second hooking parts 30 and 40 do not interfere with the intersection at the top of the mesh 2 (see reference numeral 2A in Figure 11). As a result, when attempting to hook the support 10 onto one of the mesh 2 of the display fence 1 from above, the left and right first and second hooking parts 30 and 40 can be smoothly hooked onto the left and right first and second slanted sides 3 and 4 without being obstructed by the intersection 2A at the top of the mesh 2. Conversely, when removing the support 10 upward from the mesh 2, the left and right first and second slanted sides 3 and 4 can be smoothly pulled out from the first and second insertion spaces 31 and 41 of the left and right first and second hooking parts 30 and 40 without being obstructed by the intersection 2A at the top of the mesh 2.

[0013] Here, the first and second slanted edges 3 and 4 on the upper left and right sides of each mesh 2 of the display fence 1 are offset by one step in the front and back due to the structure of the fence. The first insertion space 31 for the first latching part 30 and the first slanted edge 3, and the second insertion space 41 for the second latching part 40 and the second slanted edge 4 are provided offset by one step in the front and back, corresponding to the front and back offset of the first and second slanted edges 3 and 4 on the upper left and right sides of each mesh 2 of the display fence 1. As a result, the first and second slanted edges 3 and 4 can be smoothly inserted into and removed from the first and second insertion spaces 31 and 41 without deforming the first and second slanted edges 3 and 4, and the first latching part 30 and the second latching part 40 can be smoothly attached to and removed from the first and second slanted edges 3 and 4. Furthermore, within the second insertion space 41 of the second latching portion 40, the second slanted portion 4 does not wobble significantly back and forth, nor does the second latching portion 40 wobble back and forth relative to the second slanted portion 4.

[0014] Next, the method of using the support 10 described above will be explained with reference to Figure 1 and Figures 11 to 13. (1) When one product package is suspended and secured to one support fixture. As shown in Figure 1, if you want to sell product packages 50 hanging from the display fence 1, face the support 10 forward and bring it close to the mesh 2 to be hooked from above. Insert the first slanted edge 3 on the upper left of the mesh 2 into the first insertion space 31 of the first hooking part 30, and parallel to that, insert the second slanted edge 4 on the upper right of the mesh 2 into the second insertion space 41 of the second hooking part 40 (see arrow C in Figure 11). In this case, since the left and right first latching portions 30 and the second latching portions 40 are spaced apart with a gap between them, the left and right first and second slanted portions 3 and 4 can be smoothly inserted into the left and right first and second insertion spaces 31 and 41 without being obstructed by contact with the intersection portion 2A at the upper end of the mesh 2. Then, the inside of the bent end face 15 of the first latching part 30 is latched onto the left first slanted side 3, and the inside of the bent end face 17 of the second latching part 40 is latched onto the right second slanted side 4, allowing for easy attachment (see arrow D in Figure 12). In this state, simply insert the fastening holes 51 of the product package 50 into the support rods 12 of the support fixture 10 and support it.

[0015] (2) When supporting and securing one product package with two support devices As shown in Figure 13, by attaching two support brackets 10 side by side to the display fence 1, a horizontally elongated product package 50a can also be supported.

[0016] (3) Removal of the support To remove the support 10 from the display fence 1, pull it upwards, pull out the first slanted edge 3 on the upper left of the mesh 2 from the first insertion space 31 of the first latch 30, and simultaneously pull out the second slanted edge 4 on the upper right of the mesh 2 from the second insertion space 41 of the second latch 40, and it can be easily removed (see arrow C' in Figure 11). When removing the support 10 upward from the mesh 2, the left and right first latching parts 30 and the second latching parts 40 are spaced apart, so they can come into contact with the intersection 2A at the upper end of the mesh 2 and are not obstructed by the intersection 2A at the upper end of the mesh 2, allowing the left and right first and second slanted sides 3 and 4 to be smoothly withdrawn from the left and right first and second latching parts 30 and 40's first and second insertion spaces 31 and 41.

[0017] According to this embodiment, the support 10 for securing the product package 50 (50a) can be easily attached to the display fence 1 by removably hooking the first and second hooking parts 30 and 40 of the support 10 onto the first and second slanted sides 3 and 4 on the upper left and right sides of any mesh 2 of the display fence 1. Furthermore, although the first and second slanted edges 3 and 4 on the upper left and right sides of each mesh 2 of the display fence 1 are offset by one step in the front-to-back direction due to the structure of the fence, the first insertion space 31 for the first latching part 30 and the first slanted edge 3, and the second insertion space 41 for the second latching part 40 and the second slanted edge 4 are provided offset by one step in the front-to-back direction, corresponding to the front-to-back offset of the first and second slanted edges 3 and 4 on the upper left and right sides of each mesh 2 of the display fence 1. As a result, the first and second slanted edges 3 and 4 can be smoothly inserted into and removed from the first and second insertion spaces 31 and 41 without deforming the slanted edge members 3 and 4, and the first latching part 30 and the second latching part 40 can be smoothly attached to and removed from the first and second slanted edges 3 and 4. Furthermore, within the second insertion space 41 of the second latching portion 40, the second slanted portion 4 does not wobble significantly back and forth, nor does the second latching portion 40 wobble back and forth relative to the second slanted portion 4. Furthermore, the front view of the support body 11 is formed in a V shape, and the left and right first hooking parts 20 and second hooking parts 30 are spaced apart on the left and right, so as not to interfere with the intersection 2A at the upper end of the mesh 2. As a result, when attempting to hook the support 10 onto one of the mesh 2 of the display fence 1 from above, or when removing the support 10 from the mesh 2 upwards, the left and right first and second hooking parts 30 and 40 can be smoothly hooked onto and detached from the left and right first and second slanted sides 3 and 4 without being obstructed by contact with the intersection 2A at the upper end of the mesh 2. [Example 2]

[0018] Next, a second embodiment of the support according to the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 14 to 22. Figures 14 to 22 are a front view, rear view, left side view, right side view, top view, bottom view, view from arrow A, view from arrow B, and perspective view of the support according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Note that the same reference numerals are used for components similar to those in the first embodiment. In these diagrams, 1 is a display fence installed in a store, with numerous diamond-shaped meshes 2 formed by wire. 10A is a metal support that is detachably attached to the display fence 1. The support 10A is used to support a product package 50, as an example of an object to be supported, on the display fence 1.

[0019] The support member 10A can be detachably attached to the first and second slanted edges 3 and 4 on the upper left and right sides of any single mesh 2 of the display fence 1. The support member 10A has a support member body 11A that is roughly V-shaped when viewed from the front, and a V-shaped support rod 12A is provided projecting forward from the center of the support member body 11A as an example of a fastening part for securing and supporting an object to be supported, for example, by inserting the fastening hole 51 of the product package 50 and supporting it.

[0020] The support body 11A, which is roughly V-shaped when viewed from the front, has an upper section that is divided into left and right halves and spaced apart. On the left and right sides of the upper section of the support body 11A, there are first and second latching parts 30A and 40A that can be attached to the left and right first and second slanted edges. Specifically, the support body 11A has a V-shaped plate section 13A that is roughly V-shaped when viewed from the front, and from the upper left 45-degree inclined edge 14A of this V-shaped plate section 13A toward the rear, the cross section in the direction from the upper left to the lower right is bent into a U-shape (see Figures 18 and 20), forming a first latching part 30A consisting of the V-shaped plate section 13A, the bent end surface section 15A, and a back plate section 16A that is parallel to the V-shaped plate section 13A and inclined at a 45-degree angle. The first latching portion 30A is provided along the first slanted edge portion 3 of the mesh portion 2, inclined from the upper right to the lower left. Inside the first latching portion 20A, a first insertion space 31A is formed between the V-shaped plate portion 13A and the back plate portion 16A, which can be inserted into and removed from the first slanted edge portion 3 from above. The first insertion space 31A opens in a diagonal vertical direction along the first slanted edge portion 3 and in a diagonal downward direction along the second slanted edge portion 4. The V-shaped plate section 13A has its central upper and lower corners formed in an arc shape (reference numerals 25A and 26A in Figure 15), which is aesthetically pleasing and is also designed to be safe and not to damage the object being supported.

[0021] From the upper right 45-degree inclined edge 17A of the V-shaped plate portion 13A toward the rear, the cross section in the direction from diagonally upper right to diagonally lower left is bent into a U-shape (see Figures 19 and 21), providing a bent end surface portion 18A and a back plate portion 19A that is parallel to the V-shaped plate portion 13A and inclined at a 45-degree angle. Inside the bent end surface portion 18A, a rectangular intermediate plate portion 20A, which is approximately the same shape as the back plate portion 19A and inclined at a 45-degree angle, is provided parallel to the V-shaped plate portion 13A. The bent end surface portion 18A, the back plate portion 19A, and the intermediate plate portion 20A form a second latching portion 40A. The second latching portion 40A is provided along the second hypotenuse 4 of the mesh portion 2, sloping from the upper left to the lower right. Inside the second latching portion 40A, a second insertion space 41A is formed between the V-shaped plate portion 13A and the back plate portion 19A, which can be inserted into and removed from the second hypotenuse portion 4A from above. The second insertion space 41A opens in a diagonal vertical direction along the second hypotenuse portion 4 and in a diagonal downward direction along the first hypotenuse portion 3.

[0022] The front view of the support body 11A is formed in a V shape, and the left and right first hooking parts 30A and second hooking parts 40A are spaced apart on the left and right, so that the first and second hooking parts 30A and 40A do not interfere with the intersection at the top of the mesh 2 (see reference numeral 2A in Figure 14). As a result, when attempting to hook the support 10A onto one of the mesh 2 of the display fence 1 from above, the left and right first and second hooking parts 30A and 40A can be smoothly hooked onto the left and right first and second slanted sides 3 and 4 without being obstructed by the intersection 2A at the top of the mesh 2. Conversely, when removing the support 10 upward from the mesh 2, the left and right first and second slanted edges 3 and 4 can be smoothly withdrawn from the left and right first and second latching parts 30A and 40A and the first and second insertion spaces 31A and 41A, respectively, without being obstructed by the intersection 2A at the upper end of the mesh 2.

[0023] Here, the first and second slanted edges 3 and 4 on the upper left and right sides of each mesh 2 of the display fence 1 are offset by one step in the front and back due to the structure of the fence. The first insertion space 31A for the first latching part 30A and the first slanted edge 3, and the second insertion space 41A for the second latching part 40A and the second slanted edge 4, are provided offset by one step in the front and back, corresponding to the front and back offset of the first and second slanted edges 3 and 4 on the upper left and right sides of each mesh 2 of the display fence 1. As a result, the first and second slanted edges 3 and 4 can be smoothly inserted into and removed from the first and second insertion spaces 31A and 41A without deforming the first and second slanted edges 3 and 4, and the first latching part 30A and the second latching part 40A can be smoothly attached to and removed from the first and second slanted edges 3 and 4. Furthermore, within the second insertion space 41A of the second latching portion 40A, the second slanted edge portion 4 does not wobble significantly back and forth, nor does the second latching portion 40A wobble back and forth relative to the second slanted edge portion 4. In the second embodiment, the case where the front-to-back displacement of the first and second hypotenuse portions 3 and 4 of the mesh 2 is slightly larger than in the first embodiment.

[0024] The method of using the support 10A is the same as that of the support 10 in the first embodiment. In this second embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the support 10A for securing product packaging (see reference numeral 50 in Figure 1) can be easily attached to the display fence 1 by detachably hooking the first and second hooking parts 30A and 40A of the support 10A onto the first and second slanted edges 3 and 4 on the upper left and right sides of any mesh 2 of the display fence 1. Furthermore, although the first and second slanted edges 3 and 4 on the upper left and right sides of each mesh 2 of the display fence 1 are offset by one step in the front-to-back direction due to the structure of the fence, the first insertion space 31A for the first latching part 30A and the first slanted edge 3, and the second insertion space 41A for the second latching part 40A and the second slanted edge 4 are provided offset by one step in the front-to-back direction, corresponding to the front-to-back offset of the first and second slanted edges 3 and 4 on the upper left and right sides of each mesh 2 of the display fence 1. As a result, the first and second slanted edges 3 and 4 can be smoothly inserted into and removed from the first and second insertion spaces 31A and 41A without deforming the slanted edge members 3 and 4, and the first latching part 30A and the second latching part 40A can be smoothly attached to and removed from the first and second slanted edges 3 and 4. Furthermore, within the second insertion space 41A of the second latching portion 40A, the second slanted edge portion 4 does not wobble significantly back and forth, nor does the second latching portion 40A wobble back and forth relative to the second slanted edge portion 4. Furthermore, the front view of the support body 11A is formed in a V shape, and the left and right first hooking parts 30A and second hooking parts 40A are spaced apart on the left and right, so as not to interfere with the intersection 2A at the upper end of the mesh 2. As a result, when attempting to hook the support 10A onto one of the mesh 2 of the display fence 1 from above, or when removing the support 10A from the mesh 2 upwards, the left and right first and second hooking parts 30A and 40A can be smoothly hooked onto and detached from the left and right first and second slanted sides 3 and 4 without being obstructed by contact with the intersection 2A at the upper end of the mesh 2. Furthermore, the V-shaped plate section 13A has its central upper and lower corners formed in an arc shape, which is aesthetically pleasing and safe, and does not pose a risk of damaging the supported object.

[0025] In the embodiments described above, a support rod was used as an example of a fastening part, but the present invention is not limited thereto. A clip that can be clamped, a magnetic member or magnetic material member that enables magnetic attachment, a male or female hook-and-loop fastener member, a fastening hole, etc., may also be used, or multiple types of fastening parts may be combined. [Industrial applicability]

[0026] This invention can be applied when it is desired to support articles on display fences or notice boards used in stores, or on fences of outdoor buildings. [Explanation of symbols]
