[0009] Hereinafter, a foldable display device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the embodiment shown below is merely an example, and the foldable display device of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiment.

[0010] As shown in Fig. 1, the foldable display device 1 of this embodiment includes a shelf body 2 and a hook member 3 attached to the shelf body 2. As will be described later, the foldable display device 1 is formed into a box shape by folding a sheet material in a predetermined direction, as shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3. In this embodiment, the shelf body 2 is formed into a box shape with the back panel 21, bottom panel 22, front panel 23, and top panel 24 folded (see Fig. 1).

[0011] Examples of the sheet material include paper sheets such as corrugated cardboard sheets and cardboard, synthetic resin sheets, and laminated sheets of paper sheets and synthetic resin sheets. Among these, paper sheets are preferred in terms of processability, ease of handling, and economy, and cardboard is more preferred. Advertisements for the products to be displayed may be printed on the sheet material. The sheet material has folding lines L (see FIG. 2) formed in advance so that the back panel 21, bottom panel 22, front panel 23, and top panel 24 can be easily folded.

[0012] The shelf body 2 of this embodiment is formed into a box shape by folding a sheet material along a folding line L as shown in FIG. 3. The shelf body 2 formed into a box shape is held in a predetermined manner. The shape, assembly method, and shape-holding method of the shelf body 2 are not particularly limited, and a known shape, assembly method, and shape-holding method are adopted. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, in the state of the sheet material, the back plate 21, the bottom plate 22, the front plate 23, and the top plate 24 are arranged in this order in one direction, and the shelf body 2 is formed into a box shape by folding them along the folding line L that separates them. More specifically, from the state of one sheet material shown in FIG. 2, as shown in FIG. 3, the sheet material is folded along the folding line L extending in the left-right direction, and the first insertion piece 241 provided on the top plate 24 is inserted into the slit-shaped insertion hole 211 provided on the back plate 21, so that the shelf body 2 is held in a box shape.

[0013] In this embodiment, the shelf body 2 has a reinforcing structure for holding the shelf body 2 in a box shape. Specifically, the bottom plate 22 of the shelf body 2 has a reinforcing bent portion 221 that is bent inward as shown in FIG. 4 and that holds the shape of the shelf body 2. The reinforcing bent portion 221 is folded back along the bend line L toward the inside, that is, toward the top plate 24 as shown in FIG. 4. The folded back reinforcing bent portion 221 is sandwiched between a pair of holding pieces 212, 212 as shown in FIG. 5 and held at a predetermined position. This reinforces the folding display device 1 against forces in the front-rear direction, and makes it easier to hold a predetermined shape when a load is applied. In this embodiment, the holding piece 212 is provided on the back plate 21, but may be provided on the front plate 23.

[0014] In this embodiment, as shown in Figs. 2 to 4, 6 and 7, the front plate 23 of the shelf body 2 is provided with folding pieces 231 on both sides, and the bottom plate 22 of the shelf body 2 is provided with a holding piece 222 that can be folded so as to hold the folding piece 231 in a state where the folding piece 231 is folded inward. Specifically, as shown in Figs. 4 and 6, the folding piece 231 protrudes so as to protrude in the left and right directions from both ends of the shelf body 2 in a completed state, and is folded inward as shown in Fig. 7. When the folding piece 231 is folded inward, the holding piece 222 provided on the bottom plate 22 is folded so as to hold the folding piece 231. As shown in Fig. 7, the holding piece 222 overlaps the folding piece 231, so that the folding piece 231 is held in a folded state, and the shelf body 2 is reinforced against loads in the vertical direction.

[0015] The shelf body 2 is assembled by the above-mentioned assembly method. In this embodiment, the top panel 24 has a slit-shaped insertion hole 242 as shown in Fig. 1. An advertising board (see Fig. 13) can be attached to this insertion hole 242, and by attaching an advertising board as desired, the advertising effect of the shelf body 2 can be increased.

[0016] 1, in this embodiment, the front panel 23 is provided with a hook retaining portion 232 to which the hook member 3 can be attached. The hook retaining portion 232 has a horizontally extending slit SL so that the hook member 3 can move left and right.

[0017] The hook hooking portion 232 is a portion to which one hook member 3 is attached. The hook hooking portion 232 supports the hook member 3 so as to be slidable in the left-right direction. In this embodiment, the hook hooking portion 232 has two parallel upper slits SL1 and lower slits SL2 as shown in Figs. 1 and 8. However, the hook hooking portion may be formed of one slit, or may be formed of three or more slits. In this embodiment, five hook hooking portions 232 are provided in the left-right direction of the shelf body 2 as shown in Fig. 1, but the number of hook hooking portions is not particularly limited. For example, the hook hooking portion may be formed of slits that are continuous in the left-right direction, and multiple hook members 3 may be attached to the continuous slits.

[0018] In this embodiment, the hook retaining portion 232 has a slit SL extending horizontally so that the hook member 3 can move left and right, which makes it possible to freely adjust the left and right position of the hook member 3. Therefore, by changing the position of the hook member 3 depending on the size of the product and the desired size of the gap between products, it becomes possible to accommodate various products and layouts, and to make effective use of space.

[0019] The shape and structure of the hook member 3 attached to the hook retaining portion 232 are not particularly limited as long as it can be attached to the hook retaining portion 232 so as to be movable left and right. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the hook member 3 includes a hook portion 31 capable of hanging an article, an upper locking portion 32 inserted into the upper slit SL1, and a lower locking portion 33 inserted into the lower slit SL2. The upper locking portion 32 and the lower locking portion 33 are connected in the vertical direction by a connecting portion 34. The upper locking portion 32 has an upper bent portion 321 that bends upward and extends from a base end of the upper locking portion 32, and the lower locking portion 33 has a lower bent portion 331 that bends downward and extends from a base end of the lower locking portion 33. The vertical distance between the base end of the upper locking portion 32 and the base end of the lower locking portion 33 (the vertical length of the connection portion 34) corresponds to the distance between the upper slit SL1 and the lower slit SL2.

[0020] In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 8, the lower bent portion 331 is shorter than the upper bent portion 321. As a result, as shown in Fig. 8, in a state in which the lower locking portion 33 is not inserted into the lower slit SL2 and the upper locking portion 32 is inserted into the upper slit SL1, the hook member 3 can be rotated in the direction of the arrow around the upper locking portion 32 as a fulcrum to press the lower locking portion 33 into the lower slit SL2. As a result, the hook member 3 can be easily attached to the hook engaging portion 232, and the hook member 3 can be stably moved along the upper slit SL1 and the lower slit SL2 of the hook engaging portion 232.

[0021] Next, another embodiment of the folding display device 1 will be described. The folding display device 1 shown in Figures 9 to 14 differs from the folding display device shown in Figures 1 to 8 in that it is equipped with two shelf bodies 2A, 2B. Note that the effects described in Figures 1 to 8 can also be obtained with the folding display device shown in Figures 9 to 14 as long as it has a similar configuration, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0022] In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 10 to Fig. 14, the folding display device 1 includes a first shelf body 2A having a slit SL, and a second shelf body 2B having a slit SL, which is assembled on the first shelf body 2A. The first shelf body 2A has a similar configuration to the shelf body 2 shown in the embodiment of Fig. 1 to Fig. 8. In this embodiment, the first shelf body 2A is formed into a box shape with open sides by inserting a first insertion piece 241 provided on the top panel 24 into a slit-shaped insertion hole 211 provided on the back panel 21 when the back panel 21, bottom panel 22, front panel 23, and top panel 24 are folded (see Fig. 1).

[0023] The second shelf body 2B is formed by folding a sheet material (see FIG. 9) in the same manner as the first shelf body 2A. The second shelf body 2B is folded from the state of the sheet material shown in FIG. 9 to a state in which the back plate 21, the top plate 24, and the front plate 23 are folded and the lower and side portions are open. The second shelf body 2B is attached to the first shelf body 2A as shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11. In this embodiment, the first insertion piece 241 provided on the top plate 24 of the first shelf body 2A protrudes backward from the back plate 21 of the first shelf body 2A (see FIG. 10), and the second shelf body 2B is attached to the first shelf body 2A by using this first insertion piece 241 protruding backward.

[0024] Specifically, as shown in Fig. 10, the first insertion piece 241 of the first shelf body 2A is inserted into the slit-shaped insertion hole 213 provided in the lower part of the back plate 21 of the second shelf body 2B, and further, as shown in Fig. 11, the second insertion piece 233 provided at the lower end of the front plate 23 of the second shelf body 2B is inserted into the slit-shaped insertion hole 242 provided in the upper plate 24 of the first shelf body 2A. In this way, the second shelf body 2B is assembled to the first shelf body 2A. By using the first insertion piece 241 used to form the first shelf body 2A to assemble the second shelf body 2B to the first shelf body 2A, the structure of the folding display device 1 is not complicated and can be made simple.

[0025] In this embodiment, the second shelf body 2B has a plurality of reinforcing bent portions in order to maintain the shape of the second shelf body 2B. Specifically, the back plate 21 of the second shelf body 2B has reinforcing bent portions 214 that are bent inward. The reinforcing bent portions 214 are bent toward the front plate 23 to prevent the entire second shelf body 2B from deforming in a direction in which it tilts forward. The reinforcing bent portions 214 have an inclined portion having an inclination angle that matches the inclination of the front plate 23 so that the reinforcing bent portions 214 can easily come into line contact with the back surface of the front plate 23.

[0026] 13, the second shelf body 2B has an insertion hole H to which an advertising board B can be attached at the boundary (folding line) between the top panel 24 and the front panel 23. This makes it easy to display advertisements that match the products to be displayed by inserting the insertion piece B1 of the advertising board B into the insertion hole H.

[0027] The second shelf body 2B also has a reinforcing bent portion 215 for stably supporting the inserted advertisement board B. As shown in Fig. 14, the reinforcing bent portion 215 is folded back inward after the advertisement board B is inserted. As a result, the reinforcing bent portion 215 sandwiches the insertion piece B1 of the advertisement board B together with the inner surface of the front panel 23. This allows the advertisement board B to be stably supported. [Explanation of symbols]
