Description

Technical Field

[0007] , ,

[0001] This invention relates to a product sample holder for attaching a product sample displayed, for example, in a vending machine, and more particularly to a product sample holder for holding a sheet-shaped product sample.

Background Art

[0002] As a holder for a sheet-shaped product sample, there is an attachment aid disclosed in Patent Document 1 below. This is composed of a mounting hole attachment member attached to a mounting hole of a display stand and a product sample holding member for holding a sheet-shaped product sample.

[0003] The display stand to which the product sample holder (attachment aid) is attached is made of a steel plate, the mounting hole penetrates in the thickness direction, and its planar shape is circular.

[0004] The mounting hole attachment member attached to such a mounting hole has a pair of locking portions that are respectively detachably locked to the opposing edges of the mounting hole, and an elastic member is provided between the pair of locking portions. That is, it is intended to maintain the locked state of the pair of locking portions by stretching the pair of locking portions in the mounting hole.

[0005] The product sample holding member has a pair of side holding portions that respectively elastically hold the left and right side ends of the sheet-shaped product sample in a curved state in a detachable manner.

[0006] In the attachment aid of Patent Document 1, since the mounting hole attachment member has a pair of locking portions and an elastic member is formed between them, it can be attached in a stable state and the attachment and detachment operations are easy.

Summary of the Invention

[0008] However, such mounting aids are made of thin steel plates of a certain thickness and can only be attached to display stands that have a circular mounting hole through them. Furthermore, since the mounting hole mounting member has a structure that braces itself within the mounting hole, the length of the mounting aid in the front-to-back direction (depth direction) inevitably becomes long. In particular, the amount of protrusion to the rear is large, making it not only difficult to manufacture but also difficult to handle. For this reason, Patent Document 1 discloses a method in which the mounting hole mounting member and the product sample holding member are formed from separate materials and used in combination with each other.

[0009] Therefore, the main objectives of this invention are to enable mounting to holes with different structures and to achieve a more compact form. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] The means for this is a product sample holder that is detachably mounted in an upright position on a display stand having mounting holes, and which locks the edges of a sheet-type product sample, which is sheet-shaped, to locking edges formed on both the left and right side edges, wherein bottom surfaces that contact the upper surface of the display stand are spaced apart on both the left and right sides of the lower end, and between the bottom surfaces, there is a clamping structure that clamps the edge of the mounting hole in the thickness direction when the bottom surfaces are in contact with the upper surface of the display stand, and a fitting structure that fits into a mounting piece that extends forward within the mounting hole, wherein the clamping structure has an upper piece that extends forward at the same height as the bottom surface and a lower piece that extends forward at a lower height than the bottom surface, and the fitting structure has a restrained piece that contacts the lower surface of the mounting piece at the rear of the lower end, restricting upward movement.

[0011] In this configuration, the clamping structure and the fitting structure each engage with a portion of the mounting hole to attach the product sample holder. If the mounting hole on the display stand has a clamping edge on the front side, the clamping structure with an upper and lower piece is used for attachment. If there is no such edge but there is a mounting piece, the fitting structure with a restrained piece is used for attachment. In either case, the clamping structure or the fitting structure maintains that the bottom surfaces on both the left and right sides are in contact with the top surface of the display stand, and the sheet-type product book, which is locked to the locking edge, is displayed facing forward. [Effects of the Invention]

[0012] According to this invention, the mounting structure for a mounting hole is not a structure that braces within the mounting hole, but rather a clamping structure that grips a part of the edge of the mounting hole and a fitting structure that is restricted by a mounting piece inside the mounting hole. Therefore, it is possible to mount to multiple types of mounting holes, expanding the range of application. Furthermore, since the mounting structure for a circular mounting hole is a structure that clamps the edge in the thickness direction, the size of the lower end in the front-to-back direction can be made smaller compared to conventional structures that brace within the mounting hole. Therefore, it is easy to manufacture and does not take up much space when handled, making it more convenient to handle compared to structures that are large or composed of multiple parts.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0014] One embodiment for carrying out this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0015] FIG. 1 shows a perspective view representing the front, left side, and plane of the product sample holder 11 (hereinafter referred to as the "holder") 11, and FIG. 2 shows a perspective view representing the back, right side, and bottom of the holder 11. As shown in FIG. 3, the holder 11 is detachably attached in a standing state on the display stand 12 and detachably holds the sheet-type product sample 13 in a sheet shape on the front surface. Attachment holes 21 are formed in the display stand 12 for attaching the holder No. 11. The illustrated attachment holes 21 are an example, and the mode of the attachment holes 21 may be, for example, those that penetrate entirely in the vertical direction or those that do not.

[0016] Regarding the sheet-type product sample 13, it should be noted that it is made of a flexible synthetic resin sheet and has appropriate designs and text printed on it for displaying the product. The sheet-type product sample 13 is entirely colored, and may also have partially transparent sections. The shape of the sheet-type product sample 13 is rectangular.

[0017] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the holder 11 is composed of a single component made of synthetic resin. The holder 11 as a whole is formed as a vertically elongated rectangle when viewed from the front, and has a rectangular frame-shaped main body frame portion 14, locking edge portions 15 formed on the front of both left and right side edges of the main body frame portion 14, and a lower end portion 16 formed at the lower end of the main body frame portion 14 and attached to the display stand 12. The synthetic resin forming the holder 11 is transparent or milky white.

[0018] The main frame portion 14 is frame-shaped, enclosed by a left side portion 41, a right side portion 42, an upper side portion 43, and a lower side portion 44, and has a roughly rectangular window portion 45 on the inside. The upper side portion 43 and the lower side portion 44 are greatly curved so as to slightly protrude towards the rear side. The height of the main frame portion 14 is set according to the height of the sheet-type product sample 13 to be held. Specifically, if it is formed to match the height of the sheet-type product sample 13 for beverage containers, which is the shortest of the sheet-type product samples 13 to be held, it can also hold the sheet-type product sample 13 for beverage containers, which is the tallest, as shown by the dashed line in Figure 3. The width (length in the left-right direction) of the main frame portion 14 is set to be longer than the diameter or width of the mounting hole 21 formed in the display stand 12.

[0019] The locking edge portion 15 is the part that locks the left and right edges 13a of the sheet-type product sample 13, and is formed by creating extension pieces 51 that extend diagonally forward at an acute angle from both the left and right edges, which are the ends of the left and right edges 41 and 42 of the main frame portion 14. The extension pieces 51 are formed along the entire length of the main frame portion 14, from the upper end to the lower end. The length of the extension pieces 51 diagonally forward is formed to be the length necessary to hold the sheet-type product sample 13 which is curved and bent so as to bulge outwards toward the front, and is the same length throughout the entire vertical direction. In order to make it inconspicuous when displayed, it is preferable that the length of the extension pieces 51 diagonally forward be short.

[0020] The lower end portion 16 integrally connects the main frame portion 14 and the lower end of the locking edge portion 15, and bottom portions 61 that contact the upper surface of the display stand 12 are spaced apart on both the left and right sides, i.e., close to the locking edge portion 15. Between the left and right bottom portions 61, a mounting structure is formed for attaching the holder 11 while the bottom portions 61 are in contact with the upper surface of the display stand 12.

[0021] The mounting structure consists of two parts: a clamping structure 62 and a fitting structure 63. The clamping structure 62 clamps the front edge 22 of the mounting hole 21 in the thickness direction. The fitting structure 63 fits onto the mounting piece 23 that extends forward within the mounting hole 21 (see Figure 8(b)). The clamping structure 62 has an upper piece 64 that extends forward at the same height as the bottom surface 61 and a lower piece 65 that extends forward at a lower height than the bottom surface 61. The fitting structure 63 has a restrained piece 66 behind the lower end 16 that contacts the lower surface of the mounting piece 23, restricting its upward movement.

[0022] The clamping structure 62 and the fitting structure 63 are integrally connected to each other, as shown in Figure 4, which is a right side view of the holder 11, Figure 5, which is a central vertical cross-sectional view of the front view, and Figure 6, which is a cross-sectional view of AA in Figure 5.

[0023] Specifically, support plate portions 67 are formed on the opposing inner edges of the left and right bottom portions 61, extending forward from the lower end of the main frame portion 14. The vertical position of the support plate portion 67 is lower than that of the bottom portion 61, and the difference between the vertical position of the lower surface of the bottom portion 61 and the vertical position of the upper surface of the support plate portion 67 is set to fit with the thickness t of the edge portion 22 of the mounting hole 21 (see Figure 7(b)).

[0024] A space 67a is formed in the middle of the support plate portion 67 in the left-right direction, extending from the rear end to the front, and the tips of both the left and right sides of the support plate portion 67 are the aforementioned lower pieces 65. In the middle of the tip of the support plate portion 67 in the left-right direction, that is, between the lower pieces 65, the aforementioned upper piece 64 is formed, which is higher in position than the lower pieces 65 and is at the same vertical position as the bottom surface portion 61.

[0025] The base of the upper piece 64 is arc-shaped in plan view, corresponding to the mounting hole 21, and is composed of an arc-shaped wall portion 68 that connects the two lower pieces 65. The length of the forward projection of the upper piece 64 and lower piece 65 from the arc-shaped wall portion 68 is such that it can hold the front edge portion 22 of the mounting hole 21, and is sized to fit inside the mounting hole 21 when mounted with the fitting structure portion 63. Furthermore, the projection lengths of the upper piece 64 and lower piece 65 are set so that they protrude only slightly beyond the sheet-type product sample 13, which is curved to bulge forward as shown in Figure 3 when the sheet-type product sample 13 is held.

[0026] The lower tip corner of the upper piece 64 and the upper tip corner of the lower piece 65 are chamfered and have inclined surfaces.

[0027] Furthermore, at the base of the upper piece 64, that is, at both the left and right ends of the arc-shaped wall portion 68, a pair of upright walls 69 are formed that extend along the inner edge of the support plate portion 67 to the main frame portion 14. The space between the upright walls 69 in the lower edge portion 44 of the main frame portion 14 is cut out and has an insertion window portion 71. The spacing between the upright walls 69 is set to allow the mounting piece 23 to be received.

[0028] A hanging piece 72 is formed on the rear portion of the upright wall 69, extending downward flush with the upright wall 69, and the aforementioned restrained piece 66 is formed at the lower ends of this pair of left and right hanging pieces 72. The front view shape of the hanging piece 72 and the restrained piece 66 is an angular U shape. The vertical length of the hanging piece 72 is such that, as shown in Figure 8(b), the restrained piece 66 is positioned below the mounting piece 23 and its upward movement is restricted.

[0029] The holder 11, with the basic structure described above, has a structure for holding a sheet material 18 (see Figure 11, etc.) for POP use for sales promotion and improving appeal, in a unique manner, separate from the sheet-type product sample 13.

[0030] One such feature is the clamping piece 75 formed at the tip of the upper piece 64 that constitutes the clamping structure 62. Specifically, a clamping piece 75 is erected at the tip of the upper piece 64 to clamp the edge of the sheet-like sheet member 18. The clamping piece 75 consists of a front piece 75a located midway in the left-right direction and rear pieces 75b on both the left and right sides located slightly behind it.

[0031] The sheet component 18 is made of a flexible synthetic resin sheet, similar to the sheet-type product sample 13, and displays attention-grabbing phrases, campaign information, and other necessary details. The sheet component 18 may be entirely colored, or it may have transparent parts.

[0032] Another structure for holding the sheet member 18 is a recess 76 formed in the locking edge 15. In other words, recesses 76 are formed on both the left and right sides to engage with the protrusions 81 (see Figure 18) formed on both the left and right edges of the sheet member 18. In this example, the recesses 76 consist of through holes, and multiple pairs are formed in the vertical direction on both the left and right sides. The recesses 76 may also be recesses that do not go all the way through.

[0033] In addition to the structure for holding the sheet member 18, the main frame portion 14 has a clamping piece 77 at the upper end of the back surface of the upper edge portion 43. The clamping piece 77, like the clamping piece 75 at the lower end portion 16, is a part that can clamp the edge of the sheet member 18, and has a plurality of upright pieces 77a, 77b that are positioned with a small gap between them and the back surface of the upper edge portion 43. In the illustrated example, three upright pieces 77a, 77b are arranged side by side in the left-right direction, and the two upright pieces 77a on both the left and right sides have a very small gap between them and the back surface of the upper edge portion 43, while the upright piece 77b in the middle has a slightly wider gap between it and the back surface of the upper edge portion 43.

[0034] The holder 11, configured as described above, is used as follows.

[0035] If the mounting hole 21 of the display stand 12 is a through hole as shown in Figure 7 and the front edge 22 is a structure that can be clamped in the thickness direction, the holder 11 is positioned with the lower end 16 inside the mounting hole 21, and then the lower end 16 is moved forward. Then, as shown in Figure 7(b), the edge 22 is clamped by the clamping structure 62. In this state, the bottom surface 61 is in contact with the top surface of the display stand 12, and the holder 11 is held upright in the front part of the mounting hole 21 as shown in Figure 7(a).

[0036] Since the lower piece 65 of the clamping structure 62 is positioned on both the left and right sides, a stable mounting state can be obtained due to the clamping action with the bottom surface 61.

[0037] If the mounting hole 21 of the display stand 12 has a structure with a mounting piece 23 inside as shown in Figure 8, the holder 11 is positioned with the front facing forward and the upper side tilted backward, and the restrained piece 66 of the fitting structure 63 is slid under the mounting piece 23 from the tip. Then, as shown in Figure 8(b), the restrained piece 66 fits into the base of the mounting piece 23 and is restrained in a state where it cannot be removed upward. In this state, the bottom surface 61 is in contact with the upper surface of the display stand 12, and the holder 11 is held upright in the rear part of the mounting hole 21 as shown in Figure 8(a). At this time, the clamping structure 62 is housed inside the mounting hole 21 and faces the front edge of the mounting hole 21, so its forward movement is also restricted.

[0038] As shown in Figure 9, the sheet-type product sample 13 is attached by using its flexibility to bend the flat sheet-type product sample 13 in a direction that causes the front to bulge, and then locking the edges 13a on both the left and right sides to the locking edges 15. The sheet-type product sample 13 can also be held by inserting it from above between the locking edges 15. The sheet-type product sample 13, which tries to return to its original flat state, is stable between the locking edges 15.

[0039] Figure 10 shows an example of attaching a sheet material 18 for POP (point of purchase) purposes, illustrating an example of holding a sheet material 18 on the back side of a sheet-type product sample 13 to improve its appearance and appeal.

[0040] In other words, the sheet member 18 is formed in a rectangular or substantially rectangular shape to be held on the back side of the sheet-type product sample 13 in the same way as the sheet-type product sample 13. The front surface 82 of the sheet member 18 is decorated in an appropriate manner so that the transparent portion of the sheet-type product sample 13 is visible through it. The decoration may include glossy or lustrous colors, patterns, or letters. In addition to making the sheet-type product sample 13 visible through it, the sheet member 18 may also be made taller than the sheet-type product sample 13, and the portion that protrudes above the sheet-type product sample 13 may be equipped with a display to enhance its appeal.

[0041] Figure 11 shows an example of attaching a sheet member 18, which is used, for example, to advertise a campaign. The sheet member 18 in this example has a rectangular mounting section 83 with the same width as the sheet-type product sample 13, and a display section 85 integrally provided on the mounting section 83 via a connecting section 84 in the middle in the left-right direction. The mounting section 83 is transparent. The display section 85 is formed in an appropriate shape and has a display on it.

[0042] As shown in (a), the sheet member 18 is inserted so that the mounting portion 83 overlaps the back surface of the sheet-type product sample 13, and the left and right edges 83a are locked to the locking edges 15.

[0043] In addition, the sheet member 18 can also be used with the mounting portion 83 removed, as shown in (b). The mounting portion 83 can be easily removed on-site as it can be detached at the connecting portion 84. In this case, the edge of the display portion 85 is inserted into the clamping piece 75 formed on the lower end portion 16 or the clamping piece 77 formed on the upper end of the main frame portion 14 to hold it in place.

[0044] Figure 12 shows a sheet member 18 that is attached across multiple arranged product samples, rather than being held by individual sheet-type product samples 13. Specifically, the sheet member 18 has multiple attachment parts 83, corresponding to the attachment part 83 in the sheet member 18 of Figure 11; in this example, there are two attachment parts spaced apart, and a long display part 85 is attached to these via connecting parts 84. The method of attaching the sheet member 18 to the holder 11 is the same as described above.

[0045] Figure 13 shows an example combining the method of attaching the sheet-type product sample 13 shown in Figure 11 along its back surface and the method of attaching it to the clamping piece 75 formed on the lower end 16. That is, the sheet member 18 has an attachment portion 83 at its upper end and a display portion 85 integrally provided on the attachment portion 83 via a connecting portion 84 in the middle in the left-right direction. The display portion 85 has a shape that includes a portion that is inserted into the clamping piece 75 formed on the lower end 16. In this example, it is a U-shape in front view, with horizontally elongated portions 85a and 85b located at the upper and lower ends, and a vertically elongated portion 85c that connects one end of these horizontally elongated portions 85a and 85b vertically. The entire display portion 85 is colored, and parts that are not to be shown are made transparent as needed.

[0046] Figures 13(a) and (b) show examples where the formation position of the elongated portion 85c is different.

[0047] The mounting portion 83 may have the same configuration as the sheet member 18 in Figure 11, but in this example, since the display portion 85 has a vertically elongated portion 85c, the mounting portion 83 is made into a bifold structure so that this vertically elongated portion 85c can be brought closer to the sheet-type product sample 13. In other words, the mounting portion 83 has an overlapping portion 83e that fits inside the display portion 85 via a connecting portion 84, and a folded portion 83f that extends from the end of the overlapping portion 83e opposite to the vertically elongated portion 85c. A fold line 83g is formed between the overlapping portion 83e and the folded portion 83f. The folded portion 83f is longer in the left-right direction than the overlapping portion 83e.

[0048] The sheet member 18 with this configuration is folded over at the fold line 83g, overlapped with the overlap section 83e, bent in the same way as the sheet-type product sample 13, and then inserted into the back side of the sheet-type product sample 13. The folding direction of the overlap section 83f does not matter, but folding it so that the overlap section 83e is in contact with the sheet-type product sample 13 improves workability.

[0049] As shown in Figure 14, the mounting portion 83 is held stably by the holder 11 in a state where the folded portion 83f is compressed between the locking edges 15. Figure 14 shows the mounting state of the sheet member 18 in the form shown in Figure 13(a).

[0050] The horizontally elongated portion 85b at the lower end of the display unit 85 is held in place by inserting its longitudinal middle portion into the clamping piece 75 of the lower end 16.

[0051] The sheet member 18 in Figure 15 shows an example in which the configuration of the mounting portion 83 is different from that of the mounting portion 83 in Figure 13. That is, instead of forming a folded portion 83f that protrudes in the left-right direction, the overlapping portion 83e itself has a structure that allows the mounting portion 83 to be braced between the locking edge portions 15. The structure for this is a U-shaped groove 86 when viewed from the front. The groove 86 is formed as follows: When the folded portion 83h, which is the part enclosed by the groove 86, is folded back to the back side, the tip of the folded portion 83h protrudes outward from the mounting portion 83, and the distance between that tip and the opposite end of the mounting portion 83 becomes longer than the distance between the locking edge portions 15.

[0052] Figures 15(a) and (b) also show examples where the formation position of the elongated portion 85c is different.

[0053] The sheet member 18 with this configuration is folded over the folded portion 83h and placed on top of the mounting portion 83, then bent in the same way as the sheet-type product sample 13, and inserted into the back side of the sheet-type product sample 13. As shown in Figure 16, the mounting portion 83 is compressed as a whole between the locking edge portions 15 and is stably held by the holder 11.

[0054] In this case as well, the horizontally elongated portion 85b at the lower end of the display unit 85 is held in place by inserting its longitudinal middle portion into the clamping piece 75 of the lower end 16.

[0055] The sheet member 18 in Figure 17 shows an example in which the configuration of the mounting portion 83 differs from that of the mounting portion 83 in Figures 13 and 15. Specifically, the mounting portion 83 is formed to a length equivalent to the length between the locking edges 15, and an insertion structure is formed in which it is inserted into the upper end of the sheet-type product sample 13. The insertion structure is composed of a groove 87. This groove 87 consists of a pair of left and right vertical grooves 87a and a horizontal groove 87b connecting the lower ends of the vertical grooves 87a. The mounting portion 83 is entirely transparent.

[0056] Figures 17(a) and (b) also show examples where the formation position of the elongated portion 85c is different.

[0057] The sheet member 18, with this configuration, is held in place by inserting the inner insertion piece 83j of the groove 87 and the outer frame portion 83k into the upper end of the sheet-type product sample 13, with them alternating positions.

[0058] In this case as well, the horizontally elongated portion 85b at the lower end of the display unit 85 is held in place by inserting its longitudinal middle portion into the clamping piece 75 of the lower end 16.

[0059] Figure 18 shows a sheet member 18 that is attached using a recess 76 formed in the locking edge 15. This sheet member 18 consists of a mounting portion 83 formed in the shape of a horizontal rectangle and a display portion 85 formed on a part of this portion via a connecting portion 84. The length of the mounting portion 83 in the left-right direction is the same as that of the sheet-type product sample 13, and protrusions 81 are provided on both the left and right edges. The protrusions 81 are sized to fit into the recess 76. The mounting portion 83 of the sheet member 18 is entirely transparent.

[0060] The protrusion 81 may be formed in the middle of the left and right edges in the vertical direction, as shown in (a), or at the lower or upper end, as shown in (b). The position of the protrusion 81 is set appropriately according to the size of the mounting portion 83 and the shape of the display portion 85.

[0061] In this configuration, the sheet member 18 has a pair of left and right protrusions 81 that fit into recesses 76 in the locking edge 15 of the holder 11 that holds the sheet-type product sample 13. The sheet member 18 can be attached to either the front or back side of the sheet-type product sample 13.

[0062] Depending on its form, the sheet member 18 can also be attached by inserting its edge into other clamping pieces 75, such as a clamping piece 77 formed on the upper end of the main frame 14.

[0063] As described above, the holder 11 has a clamping structure 62 and a fitting structure 63, and can be attached to the display stand 12 using each of them. Therefore, it can be attached to at least two types of mounting holes 21, expanding the range of attachment targets and making it convenient to use.

[0064] Furthermore, since the clamping structure 62 is structured to clamp the edge 22 of the mounting hole 21 in the thickness direction, and the fitting structure 63 is formed below the lower end 16, the structure does not become longer in the front-to-back direction for mounting, and can be made compact. For this reason, it is easy to manufacture and does not take up much space when handled, making it convenient to use.

[0065] The clamping structure 62 and the fitting structure 63 are provided in a compact, efficient, and integrated manner, and in particular, the restrained piece 66 of the fitting structure 63 is formed from the left and right lower pieces 65 of the clamping structure 62 via a pair of hanging pieces 72, so the structure of each part is robust. For this reason, although it is easy to handle, it may be handled roughly, but it can be made into a robust holder 11 that will not be damaged even if handled somewhat roughly.

[0066] Furthermore, since the holder 11 has a structure for attaching the sheet member 18 in multiple places, it is easy to create an exhibit that achieves the desired effect without using other components. [Explanation of symbols]
