Description

Cigarette display system, frame unit, tray unit, magazine unit, and slider unit

Technical Field

The present invention relates to a cigarette display system for displaying cigarette packs for sale, and more particularly to a cigarette display system for use in convenience stores and the like.

Background

At present, cigarette packs are displayed and sold in stores such as so-called convenience stores. The cigarette pack as referred to herein means not an actual cigarette to be smoked but a rectangular parallelepiped packing box containing a plurality of cigarettes.

A cigarette display system for displaying cigarette packs is configured of, for example, a plurality of magazine units (magazine units) and a system frame. The box unit is, for example, a box shape elongated in the front-rear direction and opened on the upper face, which is made of a colorless transparent resin.

The cigarette packs standing upright are loaded into the magazine unit from above in a state of being arranged in the front-rear direction. Further, a slider member that is slidable in the front-rear direction is attached to the bottom surface of the cartridge unit.

More specifically, at the bottom of the cartridge unit, an elongated opening hole is formed in the front-rear direction. Ribs protruding upward are formed on both the left and right sides of the opening hole. The slider member is attached to the pair of ribs and the opening hole and is slidable in the front-rear direction.

Further, a coiled plate spring as a force applying mechanism is attached to the rear portion of the slider member. One end of the plate spring is led out from the slider member and is mounted in front of the bottom of the cartridge unit.

Thus, the slider member, which is slidable in the front-rear direction, is urged forward by the plate spring. Therefore, the plurality of cigarette packs loaded in the magazine unit are pressed toward the foremost portion by the slider member.

The system frame supports the plurality of cassette units in an up-down, left-right arrangement. The system frame is composed of a plurality of guide rails and a main body frame. The pair of guide rails support both side portions of the cassette unit. The main body frame is formed in a three-dimensional shape by, for example, a metal bar. A plurality of guide rails are fixed in pairs at key portions of the main body frame.

In the cigarette display system described above, for example, 20 magazine units are arranged in 4 rows and 5 columns, etc., and mounted on the system frame. In each magazine unit, for example, 10 magazines of cigarettes are loaded.

In such a cigarette display system, the cigarette packs are stored in a colorless and transparent magazine unit in an upright state, and are displayed with the front surfaces of the cigarette packs positioned in front. Thus, the cigarette display system can display, for example, 20 kinds of cigarette packs each of which is packed in 10 packs.

When selling cigarette packs, the cigarette packs are simply pulled out upward from the foremost position of the magazine unit. In this case, the cigarette packs loaded in the magazine unit are pressed forward by the slider members. Therefore, even if the cigarette packs are pulled out from the foremost position of the magazine unit, the state in which the cigarette packs are still arranged at the position can be maintained.

When the cigarette display system is replenished with cigarette packs, the pack unit is removed from the system frame. The cigarette packs are loaded into the magazine unit, and the magazine unit containing the cigarette packs is mounted on the system frame. Thus, there is no need for the cumbersome operations of replenishing cigarette packs into the magazine unit fixed to the system frame.

In addition, in the cigarette display system described above, the magazine unit may also be cleaned or cleaned, for example, by removing the magazine unit from the system frame.

Disclosure of Invention

The overall shape of the system frame of the conventional cigarette display system is fixed. Therefore, for example, there is a problem that the setting cannot be performed if the space to be set is small. On the other hand, if the installation space is large, wasted space is generated.

That is, the conventional cigarette display system cannot flexibly cope with a change in installation space or the like. Therefore, the space of the shop cannot be effectively used to the maximum extent, and an effective sales place cannot be constructed.

Therefore, the conventional shop cannot display cigarette packs in a diversified manner. However, no store has actively devised a method of displaying cigarette packs to construct a sales space with a good recommendation effect. Similarly, companies and the like that provide cigarette packs to stores have not proposed diversified display systems.

Further, the conventional cigarette display system is large in size to display a sufficient number of cigarette packs. The conventional cigarette display system is large and heavy as a whole. Therefore, it is not easy to carry in and install in the store.

For example, most convenience stores are stores that are open for 24 hours. Therefore, it is necessary to carry in and install the cigarette display system in a state where the shop is open to the customer. In other words, the loading and setting of the cigarette display system needs to be performed quickly and in a space-saving manner. But it is difficult for previous cigarette display systems to do so.

Conventionally, in order to recommend cigarette packs to customers, for example, publicizing parts are attached to a cigarette display system. In other words, in order to improve the effect of recommending cigarette packs, conventionally, a publicizing part and the like have been required.

The conventional cigarette display system is difficult to carry in and install easily and quickly as described above, and is not flexible in both installation places and display modes of cigarette packs, and cannot exhibit a sales place with a good recommendation effect.

In order to cope with such a situation, it is conceivable to prepare a cigarette display system having a configuration in which a plurality of display methods are different. However, in this manner, a plurality of cigarette display systems can be produced in small quantities, resulting in a reduction in overall productivity. Therefore, the cigarette display system has been mass-produced in a small number of types.

In view of the above problem, the present invention provides a cigarette display system capable of displaying cigarette packs in various ways without lowering productivity.

The present invention provides a first cigarette display system for displaying cigarettes in packs for sale, comprising: a frame body in a shape in which a box-shaped structure with an opening in the front is continuous in the upper, lower, left and right directions; a wall body integrated with the frame body, the wall body being a flat plate shape flat in the front-rear direction and having a predetermined shape of unevenness on the front surface; a plurality of magazine units each having a box shape elongated in the front-rear direction and having an upper surface opened, the plurality of cigarette packs arranged in the front-rear direction being supported by the magazine units; a plurality of tray units having a box shape with an open top surface, the plurality of box units arranged in a left-right direction being detachably supported by the tray units; tray support portions arranged at a plurality of positions spaced apart in a vertical direction inside the plurality of box-shaped structures of the frame body, the tray units being detachably supported by the tray support portions, respectively; and a plurality of tray attachments detachably engaged with the projections and recesses of the wall body, and the tray unit is detachably supported by the tray attachments.

In the cigarette display system of the present invention, therefore, a plurality of cigarette packs are supported by the magazine unit, and a plurality of magazine units are supported by the tray unit. A plurality of tray units are mounted on the frame body and the wall body, and the frame body and the wall body are formed in different structures, respectively.

In the present invention, the front, rear, left, and right directions are defined in addition to the vertical direction, and are defined for the sake of simplifying the description of the relative relationship between the components of the present invention, and are not limited to the directions of manufacture and use in carrying out the present invention.

In addition, the various components of the present invention do not necessarily need to be present independently, and a plurality of components may form one member, one component may be formed of a plurality of members, a certain component may be a part of another component, a part of a certain component may overlap with a part of another component, or the like.

In the cigarette display system of the present invention, a plurality of cigarette packs are supported by the magazine unit, and a plurality of magazine units are supported by the tray unit. Can be easily and quickly carried into and set in a shop. In addition, flexibility is provided for both the installation place and the display mode of the cigarette packs, and a sales place with good recommendation effect can be displayed. In particular, a plurality of tray units are mounted on the frame body and the wall body, but the frame body and the wall body are each integrated in a different structure. Therefore, since the tray unit and the magazine unit are shared in both the apparatus main bodies, the cigarette packs can be displayed in a variety of ways without lowering productivity.

Detailed Description

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in fig. 1, the cigarette display system 1000 of the present embodiment is used for displaying cigarette packs T to be sold.

Thus, as shown in fig. 1-various figures, a cigarette display system 1000 includes: a frame body having a front-opened box structure in a shape continuous in the vertical direction; a wall body which is integrated with the frame body, has a flat plate shape which is flat in the front-rear direction, and has a concave-convex groove 511 formed in the front surface thereof; a plurality of magazine units 100 each having a box shape elongated in the front-rear direction and having an upper surface opened, and having a shape of supporting a plurality of cigarette packs T arranged in the front-rear direction; a plurality of tray units 200 in a box shape with an open top surface, and having a shape that detachably supports a plurality of box units 100 arranged in the left-right direction; a support frame 320, which is a tray support portion, is disposed at a plurality of positions spaced in the vertical direction inside each of the plurality of cassette structures of the frame main body, and supports the tray unit 200 detachably; the plurality of tray attachments 600 detachably engage with the concave grooves 511 of the wall body and support the tray unit 200 detachably.

As shown in fig. 1(a) and 9 to 15, the frame body is composed of a plurality of frame units 300, and the frame units 300 are each formed in a cartridge structure and integrated with each other.

As shown in fig. 1(b), fig. 22, and the like, the wall body is composed of a plurality of wall units 500, and the wall units 500 are formed with grooves 511 on respective front faces and integrated with each other.

More specifically, as shown in fig. 1, the cigarette display system 1000 displays cigarette packs T, cigarette sticks K in which a plurality of cigarette packs T are packed together, promotional packs (campaign packs) P in which cigarette packs T are packed together with other things to be paid, and the like. The sales promotion package P is also provided to the store together with a simple utensil F made of thick paper, for example.

At present, although the vertical heights of the cigarette packs T are slightly different, they are generally formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape having the same front-rear length and left-right width. In the present embodiment, the largest faces of the cigarette packs T are defined as front and rear faces, and the smallest faces are defined as upper and lower faces.

Generally, the cigarette pack T displays brand names and the like on the front (and rear) sides. It is therefore preferable to display the display in a state where the front face thereof is located in a proper direction in front. The magazine unit 100 contains a plurality of cigarette packs T aligned in the front-rear direction in an appropriate direction as described above.

As shown in fig. 2, the cigarette display system 1000 according to the present embodiment includes a magazine unit 100a that supports 13 cigarette packs T having a long front-rear length and a magazine unit 100b that supports 7 cigarette packs T having a short front-rear length.

The cartridge unit 100 is made of a colorless and transparent resin. Recesses 101, 102 open at the upper side are formed at the front and rear ends of the cartridge unit 100.

As shown in fig. 34(a), a price label of the cigarette pack T presented to the customer, an advertisement card C, and the like can be loaded into the front recess 101. The rear pocket 102 can be filled with, for example, an information card of the cigarette pack T confirmed by a clerk.

As shown in fig. 38, the cartridge unit 100 includes: a box main body 120 formed in a box shape that is elongated in the front-rear direction and has an upper face opened; a slider member 110 disposed on the bottom surface of the cartridge main body 120 so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction; the urging mechanism urges the slider member 110 forward.

The cartridge main body 120 has a bottom surface formed of a flat surface without a projection at least in a range where the slider member 110 slides, and a rear step 105 is formed at a rear portion of the bottom surface. Therefore, the lower end of the front surface of the slider member 110 is engaged with the rear surface formed by the step 105 of the cartridge main body 120, and can be freely engaged or disengaged.

More specifically, an opening hole 104 elongated in the front-rear direction is formed in the center of the bottom portion of the cartridge main body 120 in the left-right direction. The slider member 110 has grooves formed in the left and right sides of the lower portion thereof, and the grooves are slidably engaged with the left and right edge portions of the opening 104 of the cartridge main body 120.

Therefore, the lower surface of the slider member 110 is located below the lower surface of the cartridge main body 120. However, the convex portions 121 are located below the lower surface of the slider member 110 and formed on both the left and right sides of the lower surface of the cartridge main body 120.

The coiled plate spring 111 of the slider member 110 is mounted at the rear as a biasing mechanism. One end of the plate spring 111 is pulled out from the bottom surface of the slider member 110, and is mounted on the front portion of the cartridge unit 100.

The slider member 110 is thus elastically urged forward by the plate spring 111. Since the leaf spring 111 pulled out from the slider member 110 is located inside the opening hole 104 of the magazine unit 100, it does not contact the bottom surface of the cigarette packs T housed in the magazine unit 100.

A step 105 is formed at the rear of the bottom surface of the cartridge unit 100. By engaging with the step 105, the slider member 110 is stopped against the tension of the plate spring 111.

Further, an expanded portion is formed at the rear end of the opening hole 104 of the cartridge main body 120. Thus, as shown in fig. 39, the lower portion of the slider member 110 is inserted into the opening hole 104 of the cartridge main body 120 from the expanded portion.

As shown in fig. 38, the front end of the plate spring 111 of the cartridge unit 100 is fixed to the front end of the cartridge main body 120, and a portion wound forward with the rear end as the center is disposed at a position where it abuts on the slider member 110 from behind. As shown in fig. 38, the plate spring 111 is located inside the opening hole 104 of the cartridge main body 120 from the lower portion of the slider member 110 to the portion located at the front.

An engaging claw 122 for attaching the front end of the plate spring 111 is formed at the center of the front portion of the bottom surface of the box main body 120. Further, on both right and left sides thereof, pocket convex portions 107 for displacing one cigarette pack T upward are formed.

The front-rear length of the pocket projection 107 is the same as the front-rear length of one cigarette pack T. Therefore, as shown in fig. 4, a plurality of cigarette packs T are loaded in the magazine unit 100, and only one of the front-most portions is in a state of protruding upward by being pressed forward by the slider member 110.

As described above, the cartridge unit 100 has the cartridge projection 107 formed on the front portion of the bottom surface, but the bottom surface is formed of a flat surface having no projection in a range where the slider member 110 slides rearward of the cartridge projection 107.

As shown in fig. 5 to 8, the tray unit 200 is also formed of a colorless and transparent resin into a box shape with an open upper face. The plurality of cartridge units 100 are accommodated in the tray unit 200 in a state of being arranged in the left-right direction. However, as described above, there are two kinds of cartridge units 100a, 100b having different front-rear lengths.

Therefore, the cigarette display system 1000 of the present embodiment includes: a tray unit 200a accommodating 5 cartridge units 100a long in front-rear length; a tray unit 200b accommodating 3 cartridge units 100a long in front-rear length; a tray unit 200c that accommodates 5 cartridge units 100b short in front-rear length; and a tray unit 200d accommodating 3 cartridge units 100b short in front-rear length.

The tray unit 200 is formed with tray protrusions 201 on both sides of the bottom surface. Although the tray unit 200 has four kinds of combinations of two kinds of lateral widths and two kinds of front-rear lengths as described above, the tray projections 201 are all the same distance from the front.

As will be described later in detail, a front portion of the tray unit 200 is formed with a recess 202 for accommodating therein a plurality of promotional cards C of cigarette packs T, as shown in fig. 34(b) and the like.

As shown in fig. 9 to 13, the frame unit 300 includes a pair of body frames 310 and a plurality of support frames 320. The main body frame 310 is formed of a metal plate bent into a rectangular frame shape in front, and is arranged in a pair in the front-rear direction.

The support frame 320 is made of a metal plate material having a long rail shape in the front-rear direction of the support tray unit 200, and a plurality of the support frames are arranged in the vertical direction and connected to the inner surfaces of the pair of main body frames 310.

The tray unit 200 has two kinds of right and left widths as described above. Therefore, as shown in fig. 9 to 12, the cigarette display system 1000 of the present embodiment includes: a frame unit 300a for supporting 3 tray units 200a, 200c having a long left-right width; a frame unit 300b for supporting 2 tray units 200a and 200c having a long left-right width; a frame unit 300c for supporting 3 tray units 200b and 200d having short left and right widths; and a frame unit 300d for supporting 2 tray units 200b and 200d having a short width on the right and left sides.

The frame unit 300 has a guide recess 321 formed in the support frame 320. The tray convex portion 201 of the tray unit 200 engages with the guide concave portion 321. As described above, although the tray unit 200 has two front-to-rear lengths, the distance from its front to the tray projection 201 is the same.

Further, the distances from the front faces of the four kinds of frame units 300 to the guide recesses 321 are also the same. Therefore, as shown in fig. 1(a) and 13, the front positions of the tray units 200 supported by the frame unit 300 are the same.

As shown in fig. 14(a), if the frame units 300 are inverted back and forth with respect to each other, the main body frames 310 are arranged adjacent to each other in the front-rear direction, and a plurality of frame units 300 are arranged in the left-right direction, the front-rear positions of the guide recesses 321 are the same.

As shown in fig. 33, the front-rear width a of the main body frame 310, the distance B from the rear edge of the main body frame 310 in front to the front edge of the guide recess 321, and the distance C from the rear edge of the guide recess 321 to the front edge of the main body frame 310 in rear satisfy:

B＝A+C。

thus, when the plurality of frame units 300 are arranged in the left-right direction, if the odd-numbered frame units 300 and the even-numbered frame units 300 are reversed back and forth with each other and the main body frames 310 are arranged adjacent to each other in the front-rear direction, the front-rear positions of the guide recesses 321 are the same as shown in fig. 14(a) and 33. Therefore, as shown in fig. 14(b), even if the tray unit 200 is mounted on the frame unit 300 thus configured, the front position thereof is the same.

The frame unit 300 is mounted with a surface connector (stabilizer) 311 as a frame connecting mechanism on both upper and lower sides of the main body frame 310. A frame through hole 313 serving as a frame recess is formed in the center of the lower surface of the main body frame 310. A convex member 314 serving as a frame convex portion is attached to the center of the upper surface of the main body frame 310.

Therefore, as shown in fig. 1, in the cigarette display system 1000 of the present embodiment, if a plurality of frame units 300 having the same lateral width are arranged in the vertical direction, the plurality of frame units 300 are connected by the face connector 311. At this time, the frame through hole 313 engages with the convex member 314.

As shown in fig. 15, the cigarette display system 1000 of the present embodiment includes a clip member 331 and a connecting member 332 as left and right connecting means for holding a plurality of frame units 300 arranged in the left and right direction while being reversed back and forth with respect to each other as described above.

The clip member 331 is made of a spring material, and elastically holds the main body frame 310 abutting in the front-rear direction as described above. The connecting member 332 is a structure in which a pair of face connectors are attached to the lower surface of the resin plate, and is connected to the face connectors 311 adjacent to the upper surface of the plurality of frame units 300 arranged as described above.

As shown in fig. 16, the wall unit 500 has a base wall 500a and a panel wall 500 b. The base wall 500a and the panel wall 500b have flat plate-shaped wall portions 510 that are flat in the front-rear direction.

Base wall 500a is integrally formed with base 520 at the lower end of wall portion 510, and a wall connecting mechanism is attached to the upper end of wall portion 510. Wall connecting mechanisms are installed at the upper and lower ends of the panel wall 500 b.

More specifically, a metal pipe 531 having a rectangular cross section, which also serves as a reinforcing member, is attached to the rear left and right of the wall unit 500. A metal pipe 532 having a small diameter is fixed to the panel wall 500b at the lower end of the metal pipe 531.

The metal pipe 532 at the lower end of the panel wall 500b is engaged with the metal pipe 531 at the upper end of the base wall 500a or the panel wall 500b from above, and can be freely engaged or disengaged. Therefore, the plurality of panel walls 500b can be connected in the vertical direction by the wall connecting mechanism constituted by these metal pipes 531, 532, and the panel wall 500b can be connected to the upper end of the base wall 500 a.

Both the wall portion 510 of the base wall 500a and the wall portion 510 of the panel wall 500b have projections and recesses of a predetermined shape formed on the front surface. More specifically, the concave-convex shapes are formed such that concave grooves 511 communicating in the left-right direction are arranged at predetermined intervals in the up-down direction. The groove 511 has an L-shaped cross-sectional shape with a rear portion bent downward, as shown in fig. 16, for example.

As shown in fig. 17 and 18, the tray attachments 600a to 600d are configured to support the tray units 200a to 200d, respectively. In more detail, the tray accessory 600 has a pair of support frames 610 elongated in the front-rear direction.

The support frame 610 is made of a metal plate material that is elongated in the front-rear direction and has a rail shape, and supports the tray unit 200. The pair of support frames 610 are connected in front and rear of the lower surface by a connecting frame 620 elongated in the left-right direction.

As described above, the tray unit 200 has four kinds, which are combinations of two kinds of right and left widths and two kinds of front and rear lengths. The tray attachments 600a to 600d are also provided in four kinds, which are combinations of two kinds of right and left widths and two kinds of front and rear lengths, corresponding to the tray units 200a to 200 d.

The tray attachments 600a to 600d form a guide recess 611 in the support frame 610. The tray convex portion 201 of the tray unit 200 engages with the guide concave portion 611.

The four kinds of tray units 200 and the four kinds of tray attachments 600 are formed with tray protrusions 201 and guide recesses 611, and the positions of the rear portions are made to coincide by mounting. An engagement mechanism 630 that is detachably engaged with the concave groove 511 of the wall unit 500 is formed at the rear end of the support frame 610.

As described above, the tray unit 200 and the tray accessory 600 form two kinds of right and left widths. Therefore, as shown in fig. 19, the wall unit 500 is formed to have a left-right width corresponding to the wide tray attachments 600a, 600 c.

As described above, since the tray unit 200 has two front-rear lengths, the base 520 of the base wall 500a is formed to have a front-rear length corresponding to the tray unit 200a, 200b having the largest front-rear length. Therefore, in the case of using any tray unit 200, the tray unit 200 does not protrude forward from the pedestal 520 of the base wall 500 a.

As shown in fig. 1 and the like, the cigarette display system 1000 of the present embodiment includes various units detachably attached to the wall unit 500 in addition to the tray unit 200 described above.

As shown in fig. 1(b) and 20, the basket unit 710 includes a box-shaped basket 711 having an upper surface opened and an engaging mechanism 630 formed at a rear portion of the basket 711.

As shown in fig. 1(b) and 21, the shaft unit 720 includes a shaft portion 721 elongated in the front-rear direction and an engaging mechanism 630 formed at the rear portion of the shaft portion 721.

As shown in fig. 1(b) and 22, the frame unit 300 is mounted on the front of the wall unit 500 using a pair of frame attachments 700. The frame attachment 700 includes a support part 701 having an L-shaped cross section elongated in the front-rear direction, and an engagement mechanism 630 formed at the rear of the support part 701.

As shown in fig. 37, the frame unit 300 vertically arranges the plurality of tray units 200 at a pitch of at least two times the vertical height of the cigarette packs T arranged to be elongated in the vertical direction, and vertically arranges the plurality of tray units 200 at a pitch of at least two times three times the vertical height of the cigarette sticks K arranged to be elongated in the front-rear direction and flat in the vertical direction.

In the above-described configuration, the cigarette display system 1000 according to the present embodiment can be integrated into a single body, and can freely adjust the height and width thereof, regardless of whether the four kinds of frame units 300 are combined in the vertical direction, the left direction, and the right direction as shown in fig. 1(a), or the two kinds of wall units 500 are combined in the vertical direction, the left direction, and the right direction as shown in fig. 1 (b).

The cigarette display system 1000 of the present embodiment can thereby be formed into an external shape corresponding to the installation space. Therefore, the space can be effectively utilized, and the waste of unused space can be well suppressed.

As described above, in both the case where the cigarette display system 1000 is formed by the frame unit 300 and the case where the cigarette display system 1000 is formed by the wall unit 500, the four kinds of tray units 200 and the two kinds of magazine units 100 can be shared and freely combined. Therefore, it is possible to provide a very wide variety of cigarette display systems 1000 to stores by mass-producing a small number of types of units 100 to 600.

Even in the case where the shop using the cigarette display system 1000 shifts from using the frame unit 300 to using the wall unit 500 or from using the wall unit 500 to using the frame unit 300, it is possible to continue using the tray unit 200 and the magazine unit 100.

Further, even in a case where the cigarette display system 1000 constructed by the frame unit 300 is used in a part of sales places and the cigarette display system 1000 constructed by the wall unit 500 is used in another part of sales places among the plurality of sales places, the tray unit 200 and the magazine unit 100 can be shared. Also in the case of forming the cigarette display system 1000 using the wall unit 500, the frame unit 300 may be used as its part.

As described above, the cigarette display system 1000 may be constructed using either the frame unit 300 or the wall unit 500. Therefore, flexibility is provided for both the installation location and the display mode of the cigarette packs T, and a sales location with a good recommendation effect can be displayed.

Therefore, the shop can create a sales space with a good recommendation effect by actively devising a display method of cigarette packs. In addition, companies that offer cigarette packs T to stores can also offer various display modes.

In the case of the frame structure, the wide frame units 300a and 300b for supporting 5 rows of cigarette packs T and the narrow frame units 300c and 300d for supporting 3 rows of cigarette packs T are provided, and therefore, the width can be appropriately adjusted to the left and right width of the installation space.

Since the frame units 300a and 300c having a high height for supporting the cigarettes T in the 3 rows and the frame units 300b and 300d having a low height for supporting the two rows are provided, the height can be suitably adjusted to the vertical height of the installation space.

The frame units 300a to 300d are connected in the vertical direction by combinations having the same lateral width. However, there is no limitation on the combination of the frame units 300a to 300d arranged in the left-right direction.

The tray units 200a to 200d are supported by the frame units 300a to 300d corresponding to the left-right width thereof. There is no limitation on the front-to-rear length of the tray unit 200 supported on the frame unit 300.

Two or three tray units 200 are supported on the frame unit 300. There is no limitation on the minimum number of tray units 200 supported on the frame unit 300.

The tray units 200a to 200d are supported by the tray attachments 600a to 600d corresponding to the left and right widths thereof. However, in the wall unit 500, there is no limitation on the position and number of the tray units 200 mounted with the tray attachment 600 on the front face thereof.

The frame units 300 are connected in the up-down direction by the face connection member 311. Therefore, the plurality of frame units 300 can be easily connected in the vertical direction without using tools or the like.

As shown in fig. 15, a plurality of frame units 300 that are reversed back and forth from each other and arranged in the left-right direction as described above may be connected in the left-right direction by the clip member 331 and the connecting member 332.

Therefore, it is possible to easily connect the plurality of frame units 300 in the left-right direction without using a tool or the like. As described above, the surface connector 311 for connecting the frame unit 300 in the vertical direction can be used for connection in the horizontal direction, and therefore, the efficiency of use of parts is high.

As described above, the cartridge unit 100 can be assembled using the tray unit 200 on the frame unit 300 assembled up, down, left, and right without using tools.

The wall unit 500 is connected in the vertical direction by engagement of the metal pipes 531, 532. It is possible to simply and firmly connect the plurality of wall units 500 in the up-down direction without using a tool or the like.

The wall units 500 connected in the vertical direction may be arranged in the horizontal direction. On the wall unit 500 assembled up, down, left, and right without using tools as described above, the cartridge unit 100 can be assembled using the tray accessory 600 and the tray unit 200.

As described above, the cigarette display system 1000 according to the present embodiment can be easily assembled without using tools, regardless of whether it is formed by the frame unit 300 or the wall unit 500.

Thus, a large and robust overall cigarette display system 1000 can be simply constructed using the small and lightweight frame unit 300 and the wall unit 500. In particular, the cigarette display system 1000 is made relatively more robust because the packaged cigarettes T are lightweight.

The loading and setting can thus be carried out quickly and in a space-saving manner. For example, in a convenience store or the like where 24 hours are open, it is necessary to carry in and install the cigarette display system 1000 in a state where the store is open to the customer.

However, since the cigarette display system 1000 can be carried in and installed quickly and in a space-saving manner as described above, sales of convenience stores and the like are not hindered.

In the frame unit 300, a product used for connecting automobile parts or the like can be used as the surface connector 311. In this case, the plurality of frame units 300 may be firmly connected using the face connection member 311.

As described above, when the plurality of frame units 300 are connected in the vertical direction, the pair of protruding members 314 of the lower frame unit 300 are engaged with the pair of frame through holes 313 of the upper frame unit 300. Therefore, the relative positions of the plurality of frame units 300 connected in the vertical direction in the front-rear left-right direction can be easily and reliably adjusted.

In the wall unit 500, the metal pipes 531, 532 used in the connection in the up-down direction thereof serve as the reinforcing structure as well. Therefore, the number of parts of the wall unit 500 is minimized, and the wall unit 500 is light in weight and has high productivity.

As described above, if the tray unit 200 is supported by the frame unit 300, the tray convex portions 201 engage with the guide concave portions 321. The tray unit 200 can be simply and reliably supported in place on the frame unit 300.

The tray unit 200 has a plurality of different front-rear lengths, but the distances from the front surfaces to the tray projection 201 are the same. Further, the distances from the front faces of the plurality of kinds of frame units 300 to the guide recess 321 are also the same. Therefore, even if the plurality of types of tray units 200 are supported by the plurality of types of frame units 300, the front positions of the tray units 200 are the same.

As shown in fig. 33 in particular, the front-rear width a of the main body frame 310 of the frame unit 300, the distance B from the rear edge of the main body frame 310 in front to the front edge of the guide recess 321, and the distance C from the rear edge of the guide recess 321 to the front edge of the main body frame 310 in rear satisfy: b ═ a + C. Therefore, the configuration in which the front and rear positions of the guide concave portion 321 are made to coincide with each other can be easily realized by the above-described arrangement.

As described above, when the plurality of frame units 300 are arranged in the right and left direction, the front and rear positions of the guide recess 321 of the support frame 320 are the same even if the front and rear are reversed.

Thus, even if the tray unit 200 is supported by the plurality of frame units 300 arranged in the left-right direction as described above, the position of the front surface of the tray unit 200 is the same.

Therefore, in the cigarette display system 1000 of the present embodiment, when the whole is constructed by the frame unit 300, the front positions of the cigarette packs T supported and displayed by the plurality of units 100 to 300 can be made the same, and the display of the cigarette packs T can be made more beautiful.

In particular, the magazine unit 100 presses the plurality of cigarette packs T loaded forward by the slider member 110. Therefore, the cigarette packs T loaded in the plurality of magazine units 100 can be automatically displayed at the same position.

Further, the cartridge unit 100 and the tray unit 200 are made of a colorless and transparent resin. Therefore, the cigarette sticks K loaded in the tray unit 200 and the cigarette packs T loaded in the tray unit 200 by the magazine unit 100 can be displayed in a state clearly recognized.

The magazine unit 100 causes only one of the front cigarette packs T to protrude upward by the magazine projection 107. One cigarette can therefore be easily taken out of the plurality of loaded cigarettes T.

As shown in fig. 3, the slider member 110 that slides backward of the cartridge unit 100 engages with the step 105, and the slider member 110 can be stopped against the tension of the plate spring 111. The magazine unit 100 can therefore be easily replenished with a plurality of cigarette packs T.

As described above, if the plurality of frame units 300 are arranged in the left-right direction in a state where the front and rear are inverted from each other, the gap between the plurality of frame units 300 arranged in the left-right direction can be minimized. The density of the display of the boxed cigarettes T can be increased.

The frame unit 300 supports a plurality of support frames 320 arranged in the vertical direction for supporting the tray unit 200, respectively, by a pair of main body frames 310, and the pair of main body frames 310 are arranged in the front-rear direction and supported by the plurality of support frames 320.

That is, the frame unit 300 is formed of the minimum frames 310 and 320 required for functioning as both functional parts and structural members. The frame unit 300 is high in productivity and light in weight.

In particular, since the cross-sectional shape of the support frame 320 is bent into コ, the rigidity is high. The main body frame 310 is formed in a closed frame shape, and therefore has high rigidity. And these frames 310, 320 are connected stereoscopically. Therefore, the frame unit 300 has a very high rigidity as compared with a conventional frame made of a metal bar or the like.

As described above, in the cigarette display system 1000 of the present embodiment, the frame unit 300, the wall unit 500, the tray unit 200, and the magazine unit 100 can be freely combined and assembled, and therefore, a part of them can be easily disassembled and cleaned.

In particular, in the cartridge unit 100 of the present embodiment, the bottom surface is formed of a flat surface without a projection at least in a range where the slider member 110 slides. Therefore, the bottom surface of the magazine unit 100, which is easily stained by directly placing the cigarette packs T, can be easily cleaned or cleaned.

In the cigarette display system 1000 of the present embodiment, the magazine units 100a and 100b are supported by tray units 200a to 200d having front-rear lengths. However, as shown in fig. 1(a) and (b), instead of supporting the magazine unit 100 on the tray unit 200, the tray unit 200 may directly support a simple device F of cigarettes K in strips or promotional packages P. That is, the cigarette sticks K and the simple tools F having shapes that cannot be set in the magazine unit 100 may be displayed.

As shown in fig. 1 a, the simple tool F may be placed on the upper surface of the frame unit 300, or may be disposed inside the frame unit 300 (not shown) where the tray unit 200 is not placed.

On the other hand, as shown in fig. 1(b), a basket unit 710 may be attached to the front surface of the wall unit 500 at a desired position. Therefore, the basket unit 710 can display the cigarettes K, the simple appliances F, and the like well.

The shaft unit 720 may be attached to the front surface of the wall unit 500 at a desired position. The sales promotion package P and the like which have been difficult to be displayed in the conventional cigarette display system can be displayed well by the shaft unit 720.

It is the current situation to provide cigarette packs T or cigarette sticks K to stores in corrugated cardboard boxes, and then replenish them in the stores into the box units 100 or tray units 200 of the cigarette display system 1000.

However, the magazine unit 100 with the cigarette packs T and the tray unit 200 with the cigarette strips K may be provided to the store, and the empty magazine unit 100 and tray unit 200 may be collected from the store. In this case, since the operation of replenishing the magazine unit 100 and the tray unit 200 with the cigarette packs T and the cigarette sticks K is not required in the store, the sales efficiency can be improved.

As shown in fig. 34(a), the cassette unit 100 is formed with recesses 101 in the front thereof, in which promotional cards C and the like can be placed, as in the conventional case. Thus, each of the packaged cigarettes T can be advertised to promote sales.

Further, unlike the conventional art, a recess 202 in which an advertisement card C or the like can be installed is formed in the front portion of the tray unit 200. Therefore, as shown in fig. 34(b), a plurality of kinds of cigarette packs T sold in series can be loaded on the tray unit 200, and the series of cigarette packs T can be advertised together.

As shown in fig. 35, the promotion card C corresponding to the cigarette carton K is provided in the recess 202 of the tray unit 200, whereby the cigarette carton K stored in a horizontally long manner can be promoted.

As shown in fig. 36, a series of 3 rows of cigarettes K on the left and right to be loaded can be advertised together by setting the advertisement card C corresponding to a plurality of kinds of cigarettes K in a series for sale in the pocket 202 of the tray unit 200.

Therefore, the cigarette display system 1000 according to the present embodiment can promote sales by advertising the various cigarette packs T and cigarette sticks K displayed in the most appropriate states.

In a conventional cigarette display system (not shown), a plurality of magazine units are arranged vertically and horizontally, but there is no structure corresponding to a tray unit. Therefore, the cigarette in a stick form cannot be loaded as described above, and the advertisement card C corresponding to the cigarette in a stick form cannot be installed.

As shown in fig. 37, the plurality of tray units 200 supported by the frame unit 300 are arranged in the vertical direction at a pitch of at least two times or less the vertical height of the cigarette packs T arranged to be elongated in the vertical direction, and are arranged in the vertical direction at a pitch of at least two times or less the vertical height of the cigarette sticks K arranged to be elongated in the front-rear direction and flat in the vertical direction.

Therefore, the cigarette display system 1000 according to the present embodiment can store the cigarette packs T and the cigarette sticks K in the vertical direction with good space efficiency by the plurality of tray units 200 supported by the frame unit 300 and display them.

Further, the cartridge unit 100 forms an expanded portion at the rear end of the opening hole 104 of the cartridge main body 120. Therefore, as shown in fig. 39, the slider member 110 can be slidably attached to the cartridge main body 120 without using a tool or the like.

Since the slider member 110 is slidably attached to the opening 104 of the cartridge main body 120 in this manner, the lower surface of the slider member 110 is positioned below the lower surface of the cartridge main body 120.

However, on both left and right sides of the lower surface of the cartridge main body 120, projections 121 are formed which are located below the lower surface of the slider member 110. Therefore, even if the cartridge unit 100 is placed on the bottom surface of the tray unit 200, the sliding slider member 110 does not contact the bottom surface of the tray unit 200.

The plate spring 111, which biases the slider member 110 of the cartridge unit 100 forward, is positioned inside the opening hole 104 of the cartridge main body 120 from the lower portion to the portion positioned forward of the slider member 110. Therefore, as shown in fig. 38(b), the leaf springs 111 do not scrape the bottom surface of the cigarette pack T loaded in the magazine unit 100.

The cartridge body 120 has a latch claw 122 formed at the center of the bottom front portion. It is possible to simply mount the front end of the plate spring 111 on the front end of the cartridge body 120.

Further, on the left and right sides of the bottom front portion of the cartridge main body 120, triangular cartridge convex portions 107 are formed. Therefore, one of the foremost portions of the row of cigarette packs T pressed by the slider member 110 can be displaced upward.

As shown in fig. 38, the triangular case convex portions 107 are located on both right and left sides of the engaging claw 122. Therefore, as shown in fig. 38(b), the engaging claw 122 for fixing the plate spring 111 does not collide with the bottom of the cigarette pack T.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiment, and various modifications are possible without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, the use of the frame unit 300 or the wall unit 500 to form the overall shape of the cigarette display system 1000 is illustrated in the manner described.

As shown in fig. 23 and 24, however, the cigarette display system 1000 may further include a storage unit 400 and a table unit 410. The storage unit 400 is formed in a box shape at least the upper surface of which is flat and the front surface of which can be freely opened and closed.

The table unit 410 is formed in a box shape that is flat on the upper side and flat in the up-down direction. The table member 412 is housed in a unit case 411 of the table unit 410 so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction. The table member 412 can thus be extended forward and can be utilized in operation.

As shown in fig. 23, since the frame unit 300 has two kinds of left and right widths as described above, the storage unit 400 and the table unit 410 are also formed to have two kinds of left and right widths corresponding to the frame unit 300.

Accordingly, the storage unit 400 and the table unit 410 may be combined according to the frame unit 300 to be used. Therefore, the entire appearance of the cigarette display system 1000 can be given a uniform feeling, and wasteful use of space can be effectively prevented from being generated.

On the other hand, as described above, the left-right width and the front-rear length of the pedestal 520 of the wall unit 500 correspond to the largest tray unit 200. Thus, by combining with a wide storage unit 400 and a table unit 410, as shown in fig. 24, it is still possible to give the cigarette display system 1000 a uniform appearance as a whole.

As described above, since there are two kinds of front-to-rear lengths of the tray unit 200, the storage unit 400 and the table unit 410 are formed such that the front-to-rear length corresponds to the front-to-rear length of the maximum tray unit 200a, 200 b. Therefore, in the case of using any tray unit 200, the tray unit 200 does not protrude outside the storage unit 400.

With the above-described storage unit 400, the cigarette display system 1000 can be set in an appropriate state even in a place where there is no counter or the like. Further, the table unit 410 can improve the operability of replenishing the cigarette packs T and the like, and does not hinder the use thereof.

The storage unit 400 and the table unit 410 as described above may be connected in the vertical direction by concave-convex and surface connectors or the like formed on the upper and lower surfaces (not shown in the drawings), for example, as in the frame unit 300 and the wall unit 500.

In this case, for example, by making the positions and structures of the concave-convex and surface-connecting members the same as those of the frame unit 300, it is possible to appropriately, simply and firmly set the frame unit 300 on the storage unit 400 and the table unit 410. In this case, the surface connector may be mounted on the lower surface of the pedestal 520 of the wall unit 500 (not shown).

As shown in fig. 25, the cigarette display system 1000 formed of the frame unit 300 may also further have a display part 420. The display member 420 is formed of, for example, a resin plate having an L-shaped cross-sectional shape. The front portion 421 of the display member 420 may be formed with an advertisement or decoration.

A magnet 423 attached to the main body frame 310 of the frame unit 300 is attached to a portion 422 perpendicular to the above portion. The display member 420 can be simply installed on the upper surface or the side of the frame unit 300, and the display member 420 can be easily replaced when, for example, the box cigarettes T sold are changed. The display member 420 may be formed, for example, such that the overall length thereof corresponds to the vertical height or the lateral width of the various frame units 300.

Alternatively, the surface connector may be attached to the display part 420 in advance and connected to the surface connector 311 on the frame unit 300. In this case, the display part 420 can be more securely mounted on the upper side of the frame unit 300. The display part 420 may also be used to connect the frame units 300 arranged in the left and right direction.

Examples presented in the above-described manner are: the magazine unit 100 is provided with a slider member 110, and the slider member 110 can press the cigarette packs T forward by the elastic force of the plate spring 111, and can directly load the cigarette sticks K to the tray unit 200.

However, the slider member 110 for pressing the packed cigarettes K forward by the elastic force of the leaf spring 111 may be attached to the tray unit 200. In this case, as shown in fig. 26 and 27, a slider unit 430 is provided detachably in the tray unit 200.

As shown in fig. 40 to 42, the slider unit 430 includes a rail 431 elongated in the front-rear direction; an adhesive sheet 435 as a detachable mechanism for detachably attaching the guide rail 431 to the bottom surface of the tray unit 200; a slider member 110 slidably supported by the guide rail 431; the plate spring 111 elastically urges the slider member 110 forward.

The slider unit 430 has resin components 432 and 433 attached to the front and rear sides of the rail 431. The slider member 110 is slidably supported by the guide rail 431, and one end of the leaf spring 111 wound around the rear portion of the slider member 110 is connected to the resin part 432 on the front side.

The slider member 110 and other parts of the slider unit 430 are common to the cartridge unit 100, and have a similar structure as a whole. That is, the rail 431 has an open hole 436 formed in the upper center thereof to be elongated in the front-rear direction.

The slider member 110 has grooves formed on the left and right sides of the lower portion thereof to be slidably engaged with the left and right edge portions of the opening 436 of the cartridge body. The guide rail 431 is formed from an aluminum alloy extruded profile or the like having a uniform cross-sectional shape from the front end to the rear end.

The front member 432 and the rear member 433 are installed in front and rear of the rail 431. Therefore, the slider member 110 which can freely slide can be prevented from falling off.

The front end of the plate spring 111 pulled out from the slider unit 430 is fixed to the front member 432. A step is formed on the upper faces of the rail 431 and the rear member 433. Therefore, as shown in fig. 41(b), the lower end of the front surface of the slider member 110 positioned in the opening 436 of the rear member 433 can be engaged with the upper end of the rear surface of the guide rail 431, and can be freely engaged with or disengaged from the upper end of the rear surface.

In the cigarette display system 1000, the slider unit 430 may be mounted on the bottom surface of the tray unit 200. In this case, if a plurality of the cigarettes K are aligned in the front-rear direction and the tray unit 200 is placed on the guide rail 431 from the front by the slider unit 430, the cigarettes K can be pushed forward by the slider member 110 urged by the plate spring 111.

Therefore, if the front cigarette stick K is taken out from the tray unit 200 and sold, the next cigarette stick K is automatically arranged at the front position. It is always possible to automatically display the cigarettes K in a strip well.

Therefore, by arranging the cigarette display system 1000 at a position facing the customer, the customer can directly take out the cigarette packs K. In this case, the customer satisfaction can be improved, and the workload of the store clerk can be reduced.

At the same time, even if the cigarette sticks K are taken out as described above, the arrangement of the cigarette sticks K can be automatically optimized by the slider unit 430. Therefore, even if the customer takes out the cigarette pack K, the arrangement of the cigarette pack K is not disturbed and the recommendation effect is not reduced.

Since the slider unit 430 is detachably attached to the tray unit 200, the cartridge unit 100 can be supported on the tray unit 200 as described above if the slider unit 430 is removed.

In particular, since the slider unit 430 has the adhesive sheet 435 attached to the lower surface of the guide rail 431, it can be easily attached to the bottom surface of the tray unit 200 without using a tool or the like.

Further, in the slider unit 430, a front member 432 and a rear member 433 are mounted in front and rear of the rail 431. Therefore, the slider member 110 which can slide freely can be prevented from falling off without processing the guide rail 431 made of hard aluminum alloy.

Further, the front end of the plate spring 111 pulled out from the slider unit 430 is fixed to the front member 432. The front end of the plate spring 111 can be held in place without machining the guide rail 431 made of a hard aluminum alloy.

The plate spring 111 is stretched over the front member 432 and the slider unit 430, and is located inside the opening hole 436 of the rail 431. The bottom surface of the cigarette K in carton is not wiped off by the leaf spring 111.

As shown in fig. 41(b), the lower end of the front surface of the slider member 110 positioned in the opening 436 of the rear member 433 can be engaged with the upper end of the rear surface of the guide rail 431 to stop. The cigarette sticks K can be simply replenished to the tray unit 200 on which the slider unit 430 is mounted.

The step at which the slider member 110 engages forms a boundary between the guide rail 431 and the rear member 433. Therefore, the slider member 110 can be stopped at the rear portion without machining the guide rail 431 made of a hard aluminum alloy.

The slider member 110 and the plate spring 111 of the slider unit 430 can be made common to the cartridge unit 110. The productivity of the system as a whole can be improved.

In the above-described embodiment, the cigarette packs T are mounted upright on the tray unit 200 by the magazine unit 100. However, as shown in fig. 28, a resin plate 440 or the like bent in a wavy shape may be placed on the bottom surface of the tray unit 200, and the cigarette packs T may be attached thereto in a tilted state together with the magazine unit 100.

In this case, only 4 rows can be set in the tray unit 200 capable of setting 5 rows of cigarette packs T, so that the accommodation ratio is lowered. However, the display of the cigarette packs T can be changed.

Further, examples shown in the above-described modes are: the cartridge unit 100 and the tray unit 200 are made of a colorless and transparent resin. However, the cartridge unit 100 and the like may be made of a fluorescent resin.

In this case, for example, a normal cigarette pack T may be set in the colorless and transparent box unit 100 and displayed, and a newly issued cigarette pack T may be set in the fluorescent box unit 100 and displayed. This makes it possible to give a particular cigarette pack T a good appeal.

Further, examples shown in the above-described modes are: in the frame unit 300, the cigarette packs T, the promotional packages P, and the like are displayed by the tray unit 200, the magazine unit 100, and the like. However, as shown in fig. 29, the promotional package P and the like may be displayed by a grid unit 450 detachably attached to the frame unit 300.

The lattice unit 450 includes a frame portion 451 having a rectangular front surface, a lattice portion 452 disposed in an inner space of the frame portion 451, and a base portion 453 formed rearward from a lower portion of the frame portion 451.

The base portion 453 has a left-right width and a front-rear length corresponding to the upper surface of the frame unit 300. A surface connector (not shown) is mounted on the underside of the base 453 of the grid unit 450. The surface connector is detachably attached to a surface connector 311 on the upper surface of the frame unit 300.

If such a grid unit 450 is mounted on the upper surface of the frame unit 300, the promotional package P can be hung on the grid portion 452 using the S-pipe S.

Further, when selling cigarette packs T or the like currently displayed in the cigarette display system 1000, the sales information may be collected by an electronic cash register (not shown).

When the cigarette pack T or the like is replenished to the cigarette display system 1000, the replenishment information and the stock information may be collected by a portable terminal (not shown) or the like.

Although the cigarette display system 1000 may be provided with a function of collecting such sales information, supplementary information, and stock information. For example, it is currently studied to place RFID (radio frequency identification) chips (not shown) in various products such as cigarette packs T.

Therefore, by installing an RFID reader (not shown) in the cigarette display system 1000, sales information, supplementary information, and stock information of the cigarette packs T can be collected by the cigarette display system 1000.

The RFID reader may be attached to the cartridge unit 100, the tray unit 200, the frame unit 300, the wall unit 500, or the like, or may be detachably attached to the cartridge unit 100, the tray unit 200, the frame unit 300, the wall unit 500, or the like.

When the cigarette display system 1000 is provided to a store, it is needless to say that the combination of the units 100 to 500 required for each store is different. In this case, the store needs to study the necessary units 100 to 500, and the display simulator 800 may be provided to the store to support the study.

For example, as shown in fig. 30, a display simulator 800a for a frame structure includes: a flat plate-shaped unit model 810 simulating the front shape of the frame unit 300 at a predetermined reduction ratio; a counter model 820 that simulates the front shape of a shop counter (not shown) at the same reduction ratio as described above; a memory model 830 for simulating the front shape of the memory cell 400 at the same reduced scale; a stage model 840 that simulates the front shape of the stage unit 410 at the same reduced scale; a human model 850 simulating the front shape of a human in the same reduced scale; and an arrangement mount paper 860 for detachably mounting the plurality of models 810 to 840 and detachably mounting the dummy.

The mount base 860 is made of a magnetic sheet, and the molds 810 to 850 are made of a magnetic sheet. As shown in fig. 31, in a shop provided with such a display simulator 800a, by arranging various models 810 to 830 on an arrangement base paper 860, combinations of various units 100 to 500 and the like of the cigarette display system 1000 can be studied.

Further, since the display simulator 800a also has the human model 850 of a uniform reduction ratio, the relative relationship between the cigarette display system 1000 and the human can be confirmed.

In particular, the wrist of the mannequin 850 is free to rotate. It is therefore possible to confirm whether or not the cigarette display system 1000 and the like can be constructed within a range that a person can operate.

The manufacturer of the cigarette display system 1000 may collect the display simulator 800 of the shop in which the models 810 to 830 are arranged on the arrangement base paper 860, and the manufacturer may provide the shop with the units 100 to 500, etc., according to the arrangement.

As shown in fig. 32, it is needless to say that the display simulator 800b may be similarly configured to have a flat plate-shaped unit model 870, and the unit model 870 may simulate the front shape of the wall unit 500 at a predetermined reduction ratio.

Further, a display simulator (not shown) having the above-described unit models 810 and 870 of the frame unit 300 and the wall unit 500 may be provided to the shop.
