Inside the exhibition room 43, a commercially available stage (for example, an iron plate) 49 which is a mounting surface of the dummy body 41 is provided. A dummy body mounting hole 50 for transmitting light is formed in the stage 49 at a position where the dummy body 41 is mounted. The same mounting hole 50 is used regardless of whether the dummy body to be displayed is the thin can type 41 or the thick can type 42. Therefore, a short cylindrical flange 5 described later is used.
1 has the same diameter regardless of whether it is a thin can type 41 or a thick can type 42. Further, all the mounting holes 50 have the same shape and size. The illumination light source 52 arranged on the back side of the stage 49 illuminates the dummy body 41 from below.

FIGS. 2 to 4 show a first preferred embodiment of the dummy body (small can type) 41 of the present invention. 2 to 4, the dummy body 41 has a body 54 having an upper opening 41a and a lower opening 41b and a short cylindrical flange 51 formed of polycarbonate, polyethylene terephthalate,
A dummy body main body integrally formed by blow molding of a transparent and colorless synthetic resin material having heat resistance and weather resistance such as polypropylene and acrylic, and an upper lid 64, and a body portion 54 on the front surface of the dummy body 41. A film or sheet-like product display label (hereinafter, referred to as a label) 53 for displaying a product to be sold is attached and held on the upper side. For example, a plastic film or sheet is printed to be a real semicircle. A display equivalent to minutes can be used. In order to hold the label 53 on the body portion 54, a slit S into which both end portions 53a of the label can be inserted is formed between the body portion 54 and the mounting portion 55.

A short cylindrical flange 51 having a diameter smaller than that of the body 54 is projected downward from the lower surface R of the body of the dummy body 41. On the other hand, a mounting hole 50 is formed on the outer periphery of the flange 51. A pair of first notches 57, 57 at positions corresponding to the convex portions 56, and second notches 58, 57.

Further, a ring-shaped fitting member 61 is provided.
It is fitted between a pair of claws 60 a and 60 b formed on the lower surface R of the body and the outer periphery of the flange 51, and is arranged on the stage 49 so as to cover the second notch 58 and the concave portion 59 of the mounting hole 50. Note that the length of the claw 60b is set to be longer than that of the claw 60a. The fitting member 61 is formed by injection molding of a translucent white synthetic resin material having heat resistance and weather resistance such as polycarbonate, polyethylene terephthalate, polypropylene, and acrylic.

While the lower surface R of the body is formed of an annular horizontal surface, the fitting member 61 has a larger width than the lower surface R of the body, and the lower surface R of the body and the pair of claws 60a, 60a.
b and a pair of first grooves 62 and 6 into which the projection 56 can be fitted at a position corresponding to the projection 56 of the flange 51 at a position corresponding to the projection 56 of the flange 51.
2 and a pair of second grooves 6 into which the claws 60a, 60b can be fitted at positions corresponding to the pair of claws 60a, 60b.
3a and 63b.

According to the above configuration, the cylindrical dummy body 4
Since the first body 54 and the short cylindrical flange 51 having a smaller diameter than the body 54 are integrally formed, the dummy member 41 is simply attached to the flange 51 and the dummy body 41 is pushed into the mounting hole 50 from above. Can be securely fixed to the stage 49. That is, after the fitting member 61 is fitted between the lower surface R of the body portion and the pair of claws 60a, 60b, the convex portions 56, 56 of the flange 51 are fitted into the first notches 57, 57 formed in the mounting hole 50. When this is done, the rotation of the dummy body 41 can be stopped, and the protrusions 56, 56 are located in the first
1 is inserted into the mounting hole 50, a pair of claws 60a, 60b
The stage 49 and the fitting member 61 on the upper surface of the stage 49 can be sandwiched between the stage 49 and the lower surface R of the body, thereby preventing the dummy body 41 from coming off. Alternatively, the fitting member 61 is disposed on the stage 49 and the body 54 is attached to the short cylindrical flange 51.
Through the fitting member 61 from the side of the dummy body mounting hole 50.
The dummy body 41 can be easily fixed to the stage 49 by simply inserting the dummy body 41 into the stage 49 from above.

Therefore, there are the following advantages. 1. Since the commercially available stage 49 is used, the fitting ring 61 has the second notches 58, 58 although the mounting hole 50 has the second notches 58, 58 and the concave portion 59.
And the concave portion 59, the illumination light source 52 of the light from the mounting hole 50 passing through the second notches 58, 58 and the concave portion 59.
Leakage of the illuminating light can be reliably prevented. 2. Since the fitting member 61 has a width larger than the body lower surface R, the label 53 can be always supported by the fitting member 61 as shown in FIG.
In addition, the work of setting at a predetermined position in the height direction is facilitated,
The label 53 can be prevented from shifting downward from a fixed position on the body 54. 3. Since the fitting member 61 has a heat insulating effect due to the above-described material, when the vending machine is placed under the scorching sun, the temperature of the iron stage 49 becomes high, and the heat from the stage 49 is reduced.
And transmission to the label 53 to prevent deformation. 4. Since the length of the claw 60b is set to be longer than the stopper claw 60a formed on the flange 51,
When fitting into the mounting hole 50, first, the longer claw 60
b is brought into contact with the back surface side of the mounting hole 50 in advance, and the claw 60a is pushed into the mounting hole 50 from above with the contact point as a fulcrum, so that the short claw 60a can easily enter the mounting hole 50. Therefore, the dummy body 41 can be easily attached. On the other hand, if the reverse operation is performed, the dummy body 41 can be easily removed,
The mounting of the dummy body is simpler than in the conventional swiveling method in which the mounting main body can not be removed and the rotation can be prevented. 5. A blow-molding of a transparent or translucent colorless or colored synthetic resin material having heat resistance and weather resistance, which is less expensive than injection molding, can be used to form an integral dummy body that also serves as an attachment function.

FIG. 5 shows a slit 7 formed by cutting the outer periphery of the flange 51 near each of a pair of claws 60a and 60b formed on the outer periphery of the flange 51.
A preferred second embodiment of the invention with 0, 70 is shown. In other words, the claws 60a,
The elastic force of the claw 60b can be promoted, and when the claw 60a side is pushed into the mounting hole 50 from above, the claw 60a can easily enter the mounting hole 50 by the elastic force. Conversely, the removal of the dummy body 41 can be made easier than in the first embodiment.

FIG. 6 shows the flange 5 on the inner surface of the mounting hole 50.
A third preferred embodiment of the present invention having only a pair of first notches 57, 57 at positions corresponding to the rotation preventing protrusions 56, 56 formed on the outer periphery of 1 is shown. That is, the fitting member 61 for preventing leakage of illumination light from the light illumination light source can be eliminated. That is, the protrusions 56 of the flange 51 are connected to the first cutouts 5 formed in the mounting holes 50.
7 and 57, the dummy body 41 can be prevented from rotating, and the first notches 57,
When the flanges 51 are fitted into the mounting holes 50 with the positions 6, 56 positioned, the stage 49 can be sandwiched between the pair of claws 60a, 60b and the lower surface R of the body, whereby the dummy body 41 can be prevented from coming off. The dummy body 41 can be securely fixed to the stage 49 simply by pushing the dummy body 41 into the mounting hole 50 from above. And, the trunk 54 and the flange 5
Since 1 is formed integrally, there is no need to provide a separate member for securely fixing the dummy body to the stage separately from the body of the dummy body as in the related art, and the assembling work is easy.

In the above preferred embodiment, a thin can type dummy body 41 has been described. FIG. 7 shows a fourth preferred embodiment of the present invention in which a thick can type dummy body 42 is mounted. In FIG. 7, the point different from the case of the thin can type dummy body 41 is the configuration of the fitting member for preventing leakage of illumination light from the light illumination light source 52. That is, since the short cylindrical flange 51 has the same diameter whether it is the thin can type 41 or the thick can type 42 because it is mounted in the mounting hole 50 of the same size, in this preferred embodiment, It is necessary to make the body 74 thicker than the thin can type dummy body 41. Therefore, the lower surface P of the body is formed of an annular inclined surface that becomes lower toward the flange 51.

The fitting member 71 has a central inclined portion 75 covering the annular inclined surface P, and an inner peripheral surface and an outer peripheral surface formed integrally with the central inclined portion 75 with the central inclined portion 75 interposed therebetween. Horizontal part 76 located on the side
And a rising portion 77. Further, the fitting member 71 has a width larger than the annular inclined surface P, and the stage 4 is disposed between the inclined surface P and the pair of claws 60a, 60b.
9 and has a thickness that allows it to be inserted between the projections 56 and 56 at positions corresponding to the projections 56 and 56.
The horizontal portion 76 has a pair of first grooves 62, 62 into which the first and second claws 60a, 60b can be fitted. The horizontal member 76 has the fitting member 7
1 is used for a thick can type dummy body.

Therefore, the horizontal portion 76 of the fitting member 71 can reliably prevent leakage of illumination light from the illumination light source 52 from the mounting hole 50 passing through the second cutouts 58, 58 and the concave portion 59.

The central inclined portion 7 of the fitting member 71
5, leakage of illumination light from the illumination light source 52 of light from the annular inclined surface P of the dummy body 42 can be reliably prevented.

FIG. 8 shows a pair of protrusions 56, 56 for preventing rotation formed on the outer periphery of the flange 51, and a pair of claws 80a, 80b for preventing removal formed on the outer periphery of the flange 51.

In this case, the retaining claw 80b is formed along the arc on the outer periphery of the flange 51, whereas the claw 80a having a thickness smaller than the thickness of the claw 80b is formed along the tangent to the arc on the outer periphery of the flange 51. It is formed (undercut). Therefore, if the pair of claws for retaining are both formed along the circular arc on the outer periphery of the flange 51, the mounting hole 50
The attachment / detachment to / from the mounting hole 50 can be performed more smoothly than when the attachment / detachment to the attachment hole 50 becomes hard. That is, the nail 8
By making the protrusion of the claw 80a having a larger motion than that of the claw 80b smaller, the corner of the claw 80a is mainly caught on the stage at the time of attachment / detachment.

In the preferred embodiment described above, the shape of the pair of detents for preventing rotation is formed along the circular arc on the outer periphery of the flange, but various modifications are possible. For example, a part of the convex portion may be tapered. That is, as a result of taking care that the product (dummy body) comes off from the mold, a flange integrally formed with the body with a tapered convex portion is formed.

As described above, according to the present invention, a short cylindrical flange projecting downward from the lower surface of the torso and having a smaller diameter than the torso is formed at the lower portion of the torso. The dummy body can be securely fixed to the stage simply by disposing the fitting member having a size to cover the portion on the stage and pushing the short cylindrical flange into the dummy body mounting hole from above through the fitting member. Therefore, the molding accuracy of the rotation preventing means and / or the retaining means formed on the short cylindrical flange may be low. Therefore, the body portion used in the present invention can be formed by blow molding of a synthetic resin material having heat resistance and weather resistance which is lower in cost than injection molding.

The fitting member can reliably prevent leakage of illumination light from the illumination light source of light from the dummy body mounting hole. Further, the label can be always supported by the fitting member, and the label can be prevented from shifting below a predetermined position of the body. Furthermore, since the fitting member is made of the above-described synthetic resin material, it has an insulating effect, so that when the vending machine is placed under the scorching sun, the temperature of the iron stage becomes high, and the heat from the stage is transmitted to the body and the label. To prevent deformation. In addition, since the fitting member is arranged on the stage and the body is simply inserted into the dummy body mounting hole from the side of the short cylindrical flange via the fitting member, the dummy body can be securely fixed to the stage. According to the present invention, the conventional assembling work performed before packing can be omitted, and only the work of setting the dummy body on the stage at the site is sufficient.
