When the product is taken out from the front, the product described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. HEI 7-64 automatically advances to the position at which the next product is taken out, but has a relatively large frictional resistance and has room for improvement. To solve this drawback, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 64-41367 discloses an open showcase in which a rotating roller group is provided by being inclined downward and forward. Even in this case, it has to be modified and attached to an existing shelf board, and it cannot be easily attached as it is.

The present invention is a further improvement of various techniques. When a product is taken out from the front of a product storage case, the next product is automatically advanced to a position where the next product is taken out with little frictional resistance. It is an object of the present invention to provide a display product take-out unit in which products are arranged at the forefront and can be easily attached to an existing shelf board.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, a display product take-out unit according to claim 1 is provided with a product storage case having an upright side plate for storing products arranged in the depth direction, and a product storage case for the product storage case.

It is a fragmentary perspective view of the display cabinet where goods were displayed using the display article take-out unit. FIG. 5 is a sectional view in a depth direction of another embodiment.

In the drawing, a display product take-out unit 1 is a product storage case 2 having a bottom plate 2c formed to oppose both side plates 2a and 2a and to store products S side by side in the depth direction.
And a large number of rotating rollers 3 erected on the bottom side of the product storage case 2 so as to be inclined downward toward the front, and a stopper 4 provided at the front end of the product storage case 2.

A number of rotating rollers 3 are provided on both side plates 2a and 2a of the article storage case 2 and have a roller supporting plate 2e having a number of bearing holes 2g recessed from the upper surface, and a roller supporting plate 2e. Are supported by a support shaft 3a of the rotary roller 3 housed in each bearing hole 2g and a guide ridge 2f closing each bearing hole 2g. The guide ridge 2f is extended in the depth direction by substantially the same dimension as the roller support plate 2e, has a guide surface 2h having substantially the same height as the rotary roller 3 on its upper surface, and has a vertical surface for closing each bearing hole 2g on its lower surface. It is provided with the provided fitting piece 2i.

The product storage case 2 is composed of a pair of side plates 2a, 2a on both sides, a rear plate 2b, and a bottom plate 2c provided as needed. A window 2d made of a transparent material through which the commodity S can be seen is disposed at the front end thereof, and a substantially U-shaped stopper 4 is provided above the window 2d. The stopper 4 is a stopper holding part 4a.
Is held in. The rear plate 2b has an upper portion cut off at a side plate interval to form a product insertion portion, and a lower portion provided with a display mounting portion 2b 'into which a display panel or the like can be inserted.

The product containing case 2 has a width L ₁ in accordance with the width of the article S to be accommodated, the depth is formed to a desired length L ₂ which can be arranged a plurality of items S. The height h from the surface formed by the large number of rotating rollers 3 to the upper end of the side plate 2a is a height that does not cause the product S to fall even when the products S are arranged side by side, that is, a predetermined ratio of the height of the product S. As described above, preferably, the height of the product S is preferably set to be visible, for example, １ ／ to １ ／ of the height of the product S is preferable. That is, the product storage case 2 has an elongated substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape without a so-called upper surface plate.

The downward inclination angle θ of a number of rotating rollers 3 is:
It is sufficient that the product S has an angle at which the product S naturally slides down due to the rotation of the rotating roller 3, for example, preferably 3 to 10 degrees, and more preferably 4 to 5 degrees. The number, length, diameter, and the like of the rotating rollers 3 can be arbitrarily selected according to the shape, size, weight, and the like of the product S to be stored. Further, the material of each part constituting the product storage case 2 is capable of storing and holding the product according to the shape, size, weight, etc. of the product to be stored. What is necessary is just to be suitable for the environment such as under, refrigerated, frozen and the like. As an example, when used in a refrigerator, it is preferable that the rotating roller 3 is made of ABS resin because it can cope with low-temperature embrittlement. The stopper 4 is preferably made of a material and a structure that can lock the product S that slides down and that allows the product S to be seen. Further, it is preferable that the window 2d is also made of a material and a structure in which the commodity S can be seen.

In this embodiment, a bottom plate 2c is provided, and the leading end of the guide surface 3 is arranged so as to abut the bottom plate 2c at a position spaced from the stopper 4 by a distance corresponding to one product S to be stored. did. Therefore, the product S in the front row
Is held substantially vertically on the bottom plate 2c.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the bottom surface 2c is not provided, and the downwardly inclined surface of the rotating roller 3 is stored in the product S
It can also be horizontal for one interval. Further, the product S is directly held on the shelf board on which the display product take-out unit 1 is placed, with a bottom plate provided with a large number of holes as necessary, or with nothing provided, only at intervals of one product S. You can also do so. Furthermore, when it is not necessary to hold the product in the front row vertically, or when the inclination angle θ of the rotating roller 3 is small,
If the product S is not tilted enough to impair the appearance even when held on the rotating roller 3, the tip of the rotating roller 3 may be arranged to contact the lower part of the stopper 4. When the bottom plate 2c is not provided in this manner, for example, when placed on a shelf plate of a commercial refrigerator, the cool air circulating in the refrigerator also circulates to the display product removal unit 1, which is preferable.

Next, to explain how to use the display item take-out unit, it is sufficient to take out the product S ₁ arranged at the foremost position among the products S stored in the product storage case 2. Then, the space formed by removing the product S _1, and without it slides down the next product S ₂ rotates the rotating roller 3 by its own weight, is locked by the stopper 4 at the position of the foremost. Similarly, for example, when _two products S ₁ and S ₂ are taken out, the stored products S slide down by the number of taken out products, and the product S ₃ is locked at the frontmost position.
As shown in FIG. 4, when the bottom of the product S abuts on the guide ridge 2f, the product S is guided by the guide ridge 2f and slides down.

FIG. 6 shows an embodiment in which a plurality of display product take-out units 1 are placed on a shelf 5a provided at a desired position in a display cabinet 5 and goods S are displayed. As shown in FIG. 6, even if there is a difference in the number of products S stored in the storage case, the products S are always arranged at positions where they come into contact with the frontmost stopper 4. The display cabinet 5 is, for example,
A commercial refrigerator, a commercial freezer, and the like may be used as long as they display the product S, and are limited to those having a handle 5b as shown in FIG. 6 and a door 5c made of glass or the like. It is not something to be done. As shown in FIG. 6, the display product take-out unit 1 according to the present invention can be remodeled to display shelves simply by placing a required number of pieces in a required place, and easily removed when the display shelf becomes unnecessary. can do.
