"Technical field"

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a displayed product advance unit that sequentially takes out products displayed from the rear to the front, starting from the earliest one. Specifically, for example, products with a fixed fixed outer structure, such as canned food, bottled food, paper packaging, box packaging, band binding, etc., are displayed in an aligned state, and can be taken out in order from the foremost product. The present invention relates to a unit for putting out products on display so that products on the rear side can be automatically packed in front.

"Background technology"

In general, shelves for displaying and taking out commodities are formed of horizontal and flat shelves. In such a shelf, usually, the products are taken out sequentially from the frontmost product, but a space is formed on the front side by taking out the products. As a result, the display appearance of the products is impaired, and it is difficult to remove the products from the front.Therefore, the rear products must be rearranged to the front in response to the removal of the products from the front. No. In addition, the rearrangement of the products has a problem that it takes a lot of time to arrange the arrangement of the products.

In consideration of the above-mentioned problems, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. Sho 62-163600, Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 644-134167, Japanese Utility Model Application No. Sho 644-35961 As described in the official gazette, Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 2-687853, Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 3-113655, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. In order to cope with the above, a configuration has been proposed in which the product on the rear side is set forward.

Here, the structure disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 62-163600 has a problem that the structure is complicated and impractical. In the case of Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. Sho 644-141367 and Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. Sho 64-141367, the existing shelf boards must be installed without modification. There is a problem that can not be. In addition, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 2-687853, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 3-113655, Japanese Utility Model Laid-open No. 4-9-1611 However, there is a problem that the product does not slide smoothly because of the high frictional resistance with the bottom of the product.

In order to solve such a problem, the present applicant proposed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 8-24091 a display product advance unit to be used by placing it on a display shelf. The front unit includes a base member formed to be inclined downward toward the front, a plurality of rotating rollers provided in the front-rear direction of the base member, and a front-rear direction of the base member.

By the way, the above-mentioned merchandise advancing unit is excellent in practicability such that the merchandise can be displayed in an aligned state, and the merchandise can be taken out in order from the foremost one and the merchandise on the rear side is automatically packed forward. Things.

However, when each rotating roller is directly attached to the base member, it takes time to install the rotating roller.

Further, even in the case of forming a leading unit in which a large number of rotating rollers are assembled in advance, a pressing-in protrusion is provided on the bottom surface of the leading-out unit, and this is pressed into an engaging hole formed in the base member. Since the configuration was adopted, special processing was required, and at the same time, positioning of the entire protruding unit was required during press-fitting, which made the work cumbersome.

Further, since the base member and the side plate are fixed, it is necessary to separately prepare a product having a width corresponding to products of different sizes. In this case, preparing several types of different sizes not only increases the unit storage space outside the display shelves, but also requires selection while actually placing the products according to the product size. It requires cumbersome work.

Accordingly, the present invention has as its first technology to provide a display product advance unit that can easily assemble an advance unit formed by a rotary roller or the like and further improve usability. Subject.

It is a second technical object of the present invention to provide a display product advance unit that can adjust the display width so as to match the product width to be displayed and can further improve the usability. "Disclosure of the invention"
