Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a suspended body that is used by being suspended from a support member such as a cart. Regarding. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, advertising devices have been known that can advertise products or services by using store fixtures such as shelves and chairs as support members. Such advertising devices are advantageous in that they do not require the preparation of dedicated support members, and the advertisements can be changed relatively easily.

[0003] For example, the advertising device in Patent Document 1 is applicable to chairs and includes a backrest cover part that opens downward at the top end and a bag part that opens upward at the bottom end. The area below the backrest cover part of this advertising device is a hanging sheet part, and advertisements in the form of letters, figures, etc. are printed on part of the back surface of the backrest cover part and the hanging sheet part.

[0004] In addition, the advertising device is made of an elastic sheet, and is used by placing the backrest cover portion over the backrest of the chair from above, and placing the lower bag portion over the lower end of the rear frame of the chair frame from below (paragraphs 0015-0017, Figure 4). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3139329 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] The advertising device in Patent Document 1 is made of a so-called sponge sheet, and therefore has excellent attachment properties when attached to a chair. However, when this advertising device is attached to a six-wheeled cart used in supermarkets, etc., which is repurposed as a support member, the sponge sheet becomes large overall, and there is a problem that it is bulky even when folded for transportation.

[0007] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a hanging body including an advertising device that is not bulky. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] In order to achieve this object, the present invention provides a paper hanging body that is hung from a support member and is equipped with a main body that can be rolled up in the vertical direction, and a storage section that is connected to the top of the main body and can store the rolled up main body in its internal space. The storage section is characterized by having a front wall section connected to the upper end of the main body section, and a hook section extending rearward from the side end or upper end of the front wall section and hooked onto the support member.

[0009] When in use, the hanging body of the present invention can hang the storage unit on a support member such as a six-wheeled cart by the hanging portion extending rearward from the side or upper end of the front wall. A main body is connected to the lower end of the front wall, and when the storage unit is hung, the main body, which had been wound up in the vertical direction, unwinds under its own weight and hangs down.

[0010] Therefore, the hanging body of the present invention can be used as a screen by the hanging main body, and can also be used as an advertising device by printing on the main body. Furthermore, during transportation, the main body can be rolled up vertically from the bottom to the top and stored in the internal space of the storage section connected to the top. Furthermore, the hanging body of the present invention can be folded up compactly and is not bulky.

[0011] In the hanging body of the present invention, it is preferable that the side end of the main body portion has a straightening portion extending in a direction away from the main body portion, and that the straightening portion has a first bend portion connected to the side end of the main body portion via a first fold line.

[0012] According to this configuration, during transportation, the straightening portion is folded along the first fold line so that it overlaps with the main body (surface), and then the main body is rolled up, making it compact and less bulky. However, since the hanging body of the present invention is made of paper, the rolled up main body tends to curl, and even when the main body is unrolled during use, it may curl from the bottom end, causing problems such as people being able to see their feet despite being blindfolded, or making it difficult to see advertisements.

[0013] However, in a hanging body having this configuration, the main body portion and the straightening portion are curled in the same direction when folded, so when the straightening portion is folded back along the first fold line during use, the direction in which the curled main body portion tries to bend and the direction in which the curled straightening portion tries to bend do not match, so the first fold line functions as a beam. Therefore, with a hanging body having this configuration, the curling of the main body portion can be suppressed.

[0014] In addition, in the hanging body of the present invention, it is preferable that the straightening portion is provided at a part of the lower end side of the main body portion.

[0015] As mentioned above, when the unwound main body part is used, it tends to curl from the bottom end, so if a straightening part is provided at least in a part of the bottom end of the main body part, it is possible to eliminate the trigger for curling due to the curling tendency. In addition, the main body part above the straightening part is pulled downward by its own weight, so the curling tendency can be suppressed.

[0016] In the hanging body of the present invention, it is preferable that the straightening portion has a second bent portion connected to an edge of the first bent portion via a second fold line.

[0017] With a hanging body having this configuration, during transportation, the straightening portion can be folded entirely onto the main body (surface) along the first fold line, and then the main body can be rolled up to make it compact and less bulky. Then, during use, when the second fold portion of the straightening portion is folded over the first fold portion along the second fold line, the bending direction of the straightened main body and second fold portion is opposite to the bending direction of the straightened first fold portion, so the bending forces due to the curl cancel each other out.

[0018] Alternatively, when the straightening portion is folded back slightly along the first fold line and then folded back along the second fold line during use, the first fold line attempts to return to its folded state toward the main body portion, causing the edge of the second fold portion facing the second fold line to be pressed against the back surface of the main body portion. This causes the straightening portion to function as a hollow pillar consisting of three surfaces: the main body portion (back surface), the first fold portion, and the second fold portion. Therefore, a hanging body with this configuration can suppress the curling of the main body portion. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0020] The following describes a hanging body 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the drawings. In the description of this embodiment, the direction of gravity is downward, and the opposite direction is upward. Furthermore, the up-down direction when the hanging body 1 is hung from a support member is the vertical direction, and the left-right direction is the horizontal direction. [First embodiment]

[0021] 1 shows the state of the suspended body 1 attached to a six-wheeled cart D. The suspended body 1 of this embodiment is made of, for example, cardboard, but may also be made of single-sided corrugated cardboard having horizontal corrugations.

[0022] The hanging body 1 is used, for example, as an advertising device, and is composed of a main body 2 on which the product (a bottled drink), the manufacturer, its logo, etc. are printed, and a storage section 5 connected to the top of the main body 2. The hanging body 1 can also be used as a screen that hides the area behind the hanging main body 2. The storage section 5 is cap-shaped and covers the support frame of the six-wheeled cart D (the "support member" of the present invention) from above.

[0023] In an actual sales area, packaging boxes B are stacked on the bottom plate of six-wheeled cart D and sold in boxes. Six-wheeled cart D may be used, for example, so that the top packaging box of the stack is opened to sell individual products, and the packaging boxes in the lower tier are kept as stock. In this way, the work of loading products onto six-wheeled cart D, transporting them from the warehouse, and displaying them on display can be carried out efficiently. Finally, by attaching a hanging body 1 to six-wheeled cart D, customers can recognize the products even from a distance.

[0024] Next, a development view of the hanging body 1 of the first embodiment will be described with reference to Figure 2. The hanging body 1 has a vertical length (lengthwise direction in the figure) of 1705 mm. The horizontal length (horizontal direction in the figure) is 572 mm, including the straightening section 8 described later.

[0025] The storage section 5 is attached to the upper end side of the main body 2 and is composed of an inner wall 3, an outer wall 4, a rear wall 51, an upper wall 52, and a front wall 53. The inner wall 3 extends in a direction away from both side ends of the rear wall 51 and is connected to the rear wall 51 via fold lines L1. The outer wall 4 is spaced vertically from the inner wall 3, extends in a direction away from both side ends of the front wall 53, and is connected to the front wall 53 via fold lines L2.

[0026] The pair of inner wall portions 3 have upper holes 3a that are slits along the fold line L1, and the pair of outer wall portions 4 have upper protrusions 4a at their outer ends along the vertical direction that fit into the upper holes 3a.

[0027] The pair of inner wall portions 3 are mountain-folded along fold line L1, and the fold line L3 in the figure is also mountain-folded. The pair of outer wall portions 4 are mountain-folded along fold line L2, and the fold line L4 in the figure is also mountain-folded. When the outer wall portion 4 is then placed on top of the inner wall portion 3 and the upper protrusion 4a is inserted into the upper hole 3a, a cap shape that is open downward is created. In other words, the inner wall portion 3 and the outer wall portion 4 form the side wall portion.

[0028] When the suspended body 1 is attached to the six-wheeled cart D, the area sandwiched between the inner wall portions 3 is the rear wall portion 51, and the area sandwiched between the outer wall portions 4 is the front wall portion 53. In addition, the area sandwiched between the rear wall portion 51 and the front wall portion 53 is the upper wall portion 52.

[0029] In the first embodiment, the "hanging portion" of the present invention is configured by the upper wall portion 52, but the "hanging portion" of the present invention may be configured not to have the upper wall portion 52. In other words, if the six-wheeled cart D has a shape with a step portion on the upper side, for example, the portions forming the side wall portion and the rear wall portion 51 extend from the side end of the front wall portion 53 to form a ring-shaped structure. Therefore, even if it does not have the upper wall portion 52, it can be hung by being hung on the step portion.

[0030] In this embodiment, an upper hole 3a is present on the fold line L1 of the pair of inner wall portions 3, and a pair of outer wall portions 4 have upper protrusions 4a, but conversely, it is also possible for the pair of inner wall portions 3 to have upper protrusions, and for an upper hole to be present on the fold line L2 of the pair of outer wall portions 4.

[0031] 3 is a perspective view of the storage unit 5 as seen from the rear side. Here, the rear wall 51 is visible from above, and the outer wall 4 and a part of the upper protrusion 4a are visible from the side. In this way, the storage unit 5 is formed by fitting a pair of inner wall portions 3 and a pair of outer wall portions 4 together.

[0032] The main body 2 is the part on which advertisements and the like are printed. Separate advertisements may be attached to the front side of the main body 2. For example, the separate advertisement may have engaging protrusions at the four corners, and the main body 2 may have slits into which the engaging protrusions fit, making the advertisement replaceable.

[0033] The main body 2 has a pair of lower holes 7, which are vertical slits, in the region below it between the imaginary line L6 and the lower end (the lower end 81 in Figure 2), and a pair of straightening portions 8 on both side ends of the main body 2 (on the lower end side) that extend in a direction away from the main body 2. The straightening portions 8 have first bent portions 8a connected to both side ends of the main body 2 via a first fold line M1.

[0034] The straightening portion 8 also has a lower protrusion 8c therein. The lower protrusion 8c is a protrusion that is fitted into and fixed in the lower hole 7. The straightening portion 8 also has a second bent portion 8b that is connected to the edge of the first bent portion M1 via a second fold line M2.

[0035] As shown in Figure 4, when the hanging body 1 is hung from the six-wheeled dolly D, the main body 2 is pulled downward by its own weight. However, as shown in area X, the main body 2 may develop a tendency to curl, causing a problem in that the bottom end 81 of the main body 2 may become curled, making it difficult to see part of the advertisement.

[0036] The lower hole 7 and the first bent portion 8a (lower protrusion 8c) are provided to solve this problem. Fig. 5A shows the state in which the first bent portion 8a is bent along the first fold line M1. At this time, the direction in which the bent main body portion 2 and the bent first and second bent portions 8a, 8b tend to bend do not match, so the bending forces cancel each other out, preventing the lower end of the main body portion 2 from curling.

[0037] The lower protrusion 8c is provided on the second fold line M2 that is perpendicular to the first bent portion 8a. When the second bent portion 8b is bent at the second fold line M2, the lower protrusion 8c protrudes outward as shown in Fig. 5B. The lower protrusion 8c is then pressed and moved in the direction of the arrow to fit into the lower hole 7. In this case, the direction in which the curled main body portion 2 and the second bent portion 8b tend to bend does not match the direction in which the curled first bent portion 8a tends to bend, and the curl at the lower end of the main body portion 2 is eliminated.

[0038] The structure for suppressing curling is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, curling on the lower end side of the main body 2 can be suppressed even in an embodiment without the lower hole 7 and the lower protrusion 8c.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 6, when the second folded portion 8b is slightly folded back along the second fold line M2 from the state of FIG. 5B, the edge 8d of the second folded portion 8b opposite the second fold line M2 is pressed against the rear surface of the main body portion 2.

[0040] At this time, straightening portion 8 forms a hollow pillar (triangular pillar) consisting of three surfaces: main body portion 2 (rear surface), first bent portion 8a, and second bent portion 8b. Therefore, even with hanging body 1 having such a configuration, the curling tendency of main body portion 2 can be suppressed. [Second embodiment]

[0041] Next, a development view of the hanging body 10 of the second embodiment is shown in Fig. 7. Note that the portion of the housing section 5 is the same as that of the hanging body 1 of the first embodiment, and therefore a description thereof will be omitted.

[0042] As shown in the figure, the main body 2 has a pair of straightening portions 18 extending in a direction away from the main body 2 at both ends of a region between the virtual line L6 below and the lower end (lower end 181 in FIG. 7). The straightening portions 18 have third bent portions 18a connected to both ends of the main body 2 via a third fold line M3.

[0043] In the straightening portion 18, a fourth bent portion 18b is provided at the upper end of the third bent portion 18a via a fourth fold line M4 extending from the upper end of the third fold line M3. The fourth bent portion 18b and the side end of the main body portion 2 are separated by a slit 9.

[0044] 8 shows a state in which third bent portion 18a is bent along third fold line M3, and fourth bent portion 18b is further bent along fourth fold line M4. As shown in the figure, the side edge of fourth bent portion 18b adjacent to slit 9 comes into contact with the back surface of main body portion 2. At this time, third bent portion 18a is perpendicular to main body portion 2, forming a beam along third fold line M3, and fourth bent portion 18b holds third bent portion 18a in that position. Even in this embodiment, hanging body 10 can prevent main body portion 2 from becoming curled.

[0045] Finally, the state of the suspended body 1 during transportation will be described with reference to Fig. 9 and Fig. 10. The state of the suspended body 1 during transportation is the same as that of the suspended body 10 of the second embodiment.

[0046] 9 shows the main body 2 rolled up from the bottom end to form a round, narrow shape. During transportation, the main body 2 can be folded along the first fold line M1 so that the first folded portion 8a overlaps the surface of the main body 2, and then rolled up, thereby reducing bulk. Furthermore, the width (horizontal width) of the main body 2 is slightly narrower than the width of the opening of the storage section 5, so the main body 2 can be stored in the internal space of the storage section 5.

[0047] Figure 10 shows the state in which main body 2 is completely housed within housing 5. Main body 2 is entirely contained within the internal space of housing 5, so it takes on a roughly rectangular parallelepiped shape. In this way, the overall size of hanging body 1 is small, and because it is made of paper, its weight can also be kept down, making it convenient for transportation.

[0048] If the manufacturer and product name are visible while the main body 2 is stored, the type of advertisement can be identified without pulling out the main body 2.

[0049] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment and modifications, and can be embodied in various forms without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, the vertical width of the inner wall portion 3 and the outer wall portion 4 or the distance between the inner wall portion 3 and the outer wall portion 4 may be changed depending on the length of the main body portion 2.

[0050] The position of the straightening portion 8 is not limited to the lowest end of the main body 2. Two or more straightening portions 8 may be provided, or they may be provided on only one side end of the main body 2. The lower protrusion 8c is provided approximately in the horizontal center of the straightening portion 8 (on the second fold line M2) (see FIGS. 2 and 5A), but is not limited to this position. The lower protrusion 8c may be provided on a vertical edge of the first bent portion 8a, and the second bent portion 8b may be omitted. [Explanation of symbols]
