Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

Examples

[0016] The merchandise display case 1 of the present invention includes a transparent storage section 2 through which the merchandise stored inside can be visually recognized, and a locking device 4 provided on the transparent door 3 of the storage section 2. The storage section 2 is partitioned by a vertically transparent partition plate 5 and stacked in multiple levels. And, a lighting device 6 is arranged penetrating the vertical (up and down direction) of the storage sections 2 stacked in multiple levels. Also, the door 3 is configured to be locked and unlocked with a door key, and has a key fixing function to prevent the detachment of the door key after unlocking the door 3. The locking device 4 is provided with a detachment mechanism for releasing the fixing of the door key, and the locking device 4 is detachably attached to the door 3.

[0017] The merchandise display case 1 includes left and right side plates 7, 8 and a front door 3 made of a transparent resin (acrylic material), and the back 9, the plane 10, and the bottom 11 are closed with white plates. The case body has multiple levels of storage sections 2 in the vertical direction, and the upper and lower storage sections 2 are partitioned by a transparent horizontal partition plate 5. Therefore, a rectangular parallelepiped transparent space (storage section) is formed in the shape of a quadrangular prism with multiple connected vertically. The lowermost storage section is set to be slightly larger (vertically long). The merchandise stored in each space partitioned by the partition plate 5 is made visible from the outside.

[0018] On the left and right corners on the front side of the merchandise display case 1, lighting devices 6 are arranged in the vertical direction (see FIGS. 8 and 9). These lighting devices 6 are arranged in two rows penetrating the partition plate 5 of the storage sections 2 stacked in multiple levels from the upper end to the lower end (the portion shown in gray in FIG. 9). This lighting device 6 has a white lighting function (white LED 6a) directed inward and a color lighting function (color LED 6b) directed outward, enhancing the visibility of the stored merchandise and having an effect of creating an impact to arouse demand at the same time. Regarding the brightness, color, or combination of light sources, the intensity cycle of lighting, color change, etc. of the lighting device, setting control is performed by a controller.

[0019] A door 3 made of a transparent resin material is attached to the front of the housing portion 2. This door 3 has hinges 12 attached to the case body at two locations, upper and lower, on the right side (three locations for the lowermost part) as seen from the front, and is configured as a hinged door that opens and closes in an arc around the point fixed by the hinges 12. In addition, an oblong hole 13 that functions as a handle is formed on the left side of the door 3, and a locking device 4 is attached to this oblong hole 13 (see Fig. 10). The oblong hole 13 is sized such that a finger can be inserted, and when the locking device 4 is not attached, it functions as a handle that can be pulled open by inserting a finger.

[0020] The locking device 4 has a locking portion 16 having keyholes 14 and 15 for a door key and a release key (master key) and their respective cylinders, and an attachment portion 17 for attaching the locking portion 16 to the hole 13 of the door 3. The locking portion 16 and the attachment portion 17 are together attached and fixed to the door 3. When attaching the locking device 4, the rear portion of the locking portion 16 is inserted from the front side of the oblong hole 13, and the attachment portion 17 is placed over the rear portion that has entered the back side of the door and fixed with screws 18. As a result, the keyholes 14 and 15 are exposed on the front side of the door in a state where the periphery of the hole 13 is sandwiched from both sides. When removing the locking device 4, the attachment portion 17 is separated by removing the screws 18, and it can be removed from the hole 13. By attaching the locking device 4, a locking mechanism between the door 3 and the case body is formed, enabling locking. The locking portion 16 of the locking device 4 is formed with a keyhole 14 for the door key and a keyhole 15 for the release key. The keyhole 14 for the door key is in the shape of a narrow vertical hole, and the keyhole 15 for the release key is circular.

[0021] The release mechanism is composed of a master key (release key) and its locking mechanism. After the user inserts the door key into the keyhole 14 and rotates it to open the door 3 and obtain the internal product, the key ridge of the door key is locked to the cylinder, preventing it from being pulled out (released) (door key fixing function). This prevents the door key from being taken home or lost. The manager inserts the master key into keyhole 15 and rotates it to unlock the door key and then removes the door key. As a result, the door key is detached and recovered, enabling new product display and locking. The keyhole 14 of the door key is in the shape of a narrow vertical hole, and the keyhole 15 of the master key (detaching key) is circular. Since they have different shapes, there is no risk of misinserting the key insertion port.

[0022] Next, the usage method of the product display case of the present invention will be described. Products are stored in each space in case 1 and installed in stores, arcades, etc. Examples of the stored products include precious metals, branded goods, character goods, prizes, cards, etc., depending on the store and installation location. For example, in an arcade, users (players) obtain prizes in spherical cases through crane games or prize-winning games called so-called gachas. Since a door key is inside this spherical case, the player takes out the door key inside. The player inserts the door key into the corresponding keyhole 14 of the product display case and rotates the door key to open the door and obtain the stored product. Here, since the keyholes of the door key and the detaching key have different shapes, there is no mistake in inserting the door key.

[0023] After the player unlocks it, the door key is prevented from detaching from the keyhole 14 by the fixing function, preventing the key from being taken away or lost. The manager detaches and recovers the door key by operating the master key (detaching mechanism) and returns it to the state where products can be stored again. In the present invention, since the locking device 4 is detachable (removable) from the door 3, the locking device 4 can be removed to make a display case without locking. In this case, the long oval-shaped hole 13 functions as a handle.

[0024] In this embodiment, since the left and right side surfaces and the front surface of the storage part are transparent, a large number of stored products are displayed in a state where they can be surely visually recognized. In addition, the storage section is partitioned by a vertically transparent partition plate 5 and stacked in multiple layers. Since the lighting device 6 is arranged through the vertical direction of the stacked storage sections 2 of multiple layers, a glittering and appealing effect can be obtained due to the reflection and refraction of light with the transparent plate and their synergistic effect. In addition, externally, the presence and value of the product are strongly appealed by the change of the light of the color rendering function.

[0025] As described above, the embodiments of the present invention have been described. However, the specific configuration of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and even if there are setting changes and the like within the scope not departing from the gist of the invention, they are included in the present invention. For example, although the case body described in the above embodiment is formed of a resin material, even when it is formed of a transparent glass material, it is included in the present invention. As the locking device 4, door key fixing function, and detachment mechanism described in the above embodiment, it is also possible to adopt other known mechanisms such as electronic type and card type. In the above embodiment, the locking device 4 is configured to be fixed by screwing, but it is also possible to adopt other mechanisms for the attachment and detachment structure. In the above embodiment, the lighting devices 6 are arranged in two rows on the front side left and right. However, as shown in FIG. 11, it is also possible to additionally arrange the lighting devices 6 in two rows on the back side left and right.
