  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a magnetic display device, and FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view thereof. Reference numeral 1 denotes a display base, which is formed of a metal plate in a substantially rectangular box shape in plan view.

  A display pole 2 is erected vertically on the base 1. The display pole 2 is formed of a metal round bar and is fixed on the base 1 by caulking or the like. A plurality of permanent magnets are housed inside the base 1 with a core (steel plate) interposed therebetween. The end of the core is exposed at the bottom of the base 1 and a strong magnetic force is generated at the end of the core. In addition, an adsorption surface is formed at the bottom. For this reason, when the base 1 is placed on the adherend surface of a magnetic metal plate such as a display shelf, the adsorption surface can be strongly adsorbed on the metal plate by the magnetic force.

  A panel holding portion 3 for holding a display panel P for merchandise information or the like is rotatably attached to the tip of a display pole 2 erected on the base 1 so as to change its orientation. As shown in FIG. 2, a cylindrical portion 4, a sleeve 6, and a cylindrical fixing portion 7 are used to attach the panel holding portion 3 to the tip of the display pole so as to be rotatable.

  The panel clamping unit 3 is formed of a transparent plastic such as a polycarbonate resin and has a concave portion opened upward so that the display panel P can be inserted and clamped from above. The sandwiching pieces on both sides of the recess have spring elasticity, and a display panel having an appropriate thickness inserted from above can be sandwiched with appropriate elasticity. Further, a cylindrical portion 4 projects downward from the center of the lower portion of the panel sandwiching portion 3. The cylindrical portion 4 can be integrally formed with the panel holding portion 3 with plastic.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a plurality of curved bulging portions 5 a having an arcuate curved surface are continuously provided in the circumferential direction on the inner peripheral wall 5 in the cylindrical portion 4. The curved bulging portion 5a is formed by providing a bulging curved surface having an arc shape in the cross section on the inner side, and the width (angle) of the inner circumferential wall surface thereof is, for example, 30 degrees. Here, the curved bulges 5a are continuously provided. Since the curvature of each curved surface bulging portion 5a is smaller than the curvature of the inner peripheral wall surface, as shown in FIG. 4, the concave portion is 30 degrees between each curved surface bulging portion 5a and the curved surface bulging portion 5a (joining portion). The recesses are continuous with each other through the bulging curved surface. The angular width of the curved bulge portion 5a may be an angle other than 30 degrees.

  The sleeve 6 is fitted to the tip of the display pole 2. The sleeve 6 is formed into a cylindrical shape from a synthetic resin having good wear resistance and slidability, such as a thermoplastic elastomer. The inner diameter of the sleeve 6 is formed to be slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the tip of the display pole 2, and the sleeve 6 is firmly fitted into the outer periphery of the tip of the display pole 2 or is bonded with an adhesive. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, two protrusions 6 a with a corner portion having a low height, that is, a thin thickness are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the sleeve 6 in the axial direction. The protrusion 6a with corners is located on both diagonal lines on the outer peripheral surface, and its protruding height is fine and very low, for example, about 0.5 mm, and the curved bulging part of the inner peripheral wall 5 of the cylindrical part 4 It is formed about the depth of the recess between 5a.

  The outer diameter of the sleeve 6 is the same as or slightly larger than the inner diameter of the cylindrical portion 4 (the diameter of the circle connecting the inside of the curved bulged portion 5 a), and is within the cylindrical portion 4 of the panel clamping portion 3. When the sleeve 6 of the display pole 2 is fitted, it can be fitted in a state close to an interference fit.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the cylindrical fixing portion 7 fixed to the lower portion of the cylindrical portion 4 is formed of the same plastic as the panel sandwiching portion 3 in a cylindrical shape having a small-diameter portion at the upper portion. The cylindrical fixing portion 7 is formed with an insertion portion 7a that can be inserted into the cylindrical portion 4 at an upper portion thereof, and an upper insertion portion 7a is provided via a stepped portion 7b provided at a central outer peripheral portion. Further, the cylindrical fixing portion 7 is formed to have an inner diameter that can be loosely fitted to the display pole 2. The inner diameter is smaller than the outer diameter of the sleeve 6, and the lower end of the sleeve 6 can be supported from below. Before the sleeve 6 is fitted, the cylindrical fixing portion 7 is fitted into the outer peripheral portion of the display pole 2 and loosely fitted. Thereafter, the sleeve 6 is firmly fitted to the tip of the display pole 2, and the cylindrical fixing portion 7 is fitted and bonded to the lower portion of the cylindrical portion 4 with the cylindrical portion 4 being fitted to the sleeve 6.

  In the magnet type indicator having such a configuration, the cylindrical fixing portion 7 is first fitted into the outer peripheral portion from the tip of the display pole 2, and then the sleeve 6 is fitted to the tip of the display pole 2. The sleeve 6 can be fitted closely together, but can also be fixed to the tip of the display pole 2 using an adhesive. Then, the cylindrical portion 4 of the panel clamping portion 3 is fitted on the sleeve 6 at the tip. At this time, the outer peripheral portion of the sleeve 6 is rotatably inserted into the inner hole of the cylindrical portion 4, and the protruding portion 6 a with a corner portion on the outer periphery of the sleeve 6 is formed on each curved bulged portion 5 a of the inner peripheral wall 5 of the cylindrical portion 4. It will be in the state which was closely and stably inserted in the recessed part between. In this state, the cylindrical fixing portion 7 is fitted into the lower portion of the cylindrical portion 4 from the lower side and fixed by bonding with an adhesive.

  Thus, as shown in FIG. 8, the fitting portion 7a of the cylindrical fixing portion 7 is fitted and fixed inside the cylindrical portion 4, and the upper end surface of the cylindrical fixing portion 7 is in light contact with the lower end surface of the sleeve 6, thereby holding the panel. The portion 3 is attached to the tip of the display pole 2 through the cylindrical portion 4 so as to be rotatable and prevented from coming off. Therefore, in a state in which the cylindrical fixing portion 7 is fixed to the lower portion of the cylindrical portion 4, the panel clamping portion 3 is not detached from the display pole 2. When the panel holding portion 3 is removed due to repair or the like, the sleeve 6 and the sleeve 6 are pulled out from the display pole 2. .

  Such a magnetic display device is used when posting a display panel P such as product information on a display shelf (on a steel plate or a magnetic metal plate), and sandwiches the panel provided on the base 1 The unit 3 is held so as to sandwich a display panel P that displays product information, sales floor information, event information, and the like, and the base 1 is placed on a magnetic metal plate such as a display shelf.

  When it is desired to change the orientation of the display panel P sandwiched between the panel sandwiching portions 3, the panel sandwiching portion 3 is held or the display panel P is held and the display panel P is rotated in an arbitrary direction by an arbitrary angle. At this time, the cylindrical portion 4 of the panel sandwiching portion 3 rotates with respect to the sleeve 6 fitted in the inner hole. At the time of the rotation, the projection 6 a with a corner portion of the sleeve 6 is inside the cylindrical portion 4. It acts so as to get over the curved bulges 5a of the peripheral wall 5 and enter the recesses between the curved bulges 5a.

  Thereby, since each curved surface bulging part 5a is formed in the angle range of 30 degrees here, the panel clamping part 3 and the display panel P clamped there stop with a sense of moderation every 30 degrees, and display The orientation of the panel P can be changed to a desired direction. Further, when the panel holding portion 3 is rotated, the protrusion 6a with the corner portion of the sleeve 6 slides over the curved surface of the curved bulge portion 5a, so that the rotation can be smoothly performed. When the protrusion 6a with a portion enters the recess between the curved bulged portions 5a, a stable sense of moderation is generated and rotation can be stopped lightly and satisfactorily.

  FIG. 9 shows a magnetic display tool of another embodiment. In this example, two display panels P are sandwiched by the panel sandwiching section 13 in a back-to-back state. That is, this panel clamping part 13 is formed by arranging three clamping pieces in parallel, and two clamping recesses are formed inside thereof. A cylindrical portion 14 similar to the above projects downward and is integrally formed at the lower portion of the panel sandwiching portion 13, and a curved bulge portion similar to the above is continuously provided on the inner peripheral wall of the cylindrical portion 14.

  As described above, the panel holding portion 13 configured as described above is used by rotatably fitting the cylindrical portion 14 to the sleeve 6 at the tip of the display pole 2. The panel P can be rotated with a sense of moderation by a simple operation by simply rotating the panel P, and the direction of the panel P can be changed for each angle determined by the curved bulge portion in the cylindrical portion 14.

  In the above embodiment, the curved bulging portion 5a is connected to the inner peripheral wall 5 in the cylindrical portions 4 and 14 within an angle range of 30 degrees. The angle depends on the rotation angle of the panel holding portions 3 and 13. Can be set arbitrarily.

  As described above, according to the magnet display of product information of the present invention, the cylindrical portion protrudes downward from the lower portion of the panel holding portion, and the sleeve is fitted to the inner hole of the cylindrical portion at the tip of the display pole. The outer periphery of the sleeve is provided with a thin projection with a thin corner in the axial direction, and a plurality of curved bulges having an arcuate curved surface are continuously provided in the circumferential direction on the inner peripheral wall of the inner hole of the cylindrical portion, Since the sleeve at the tip of the display pole is rotatably fitted in the cylindrical portion of the panel holding portion, and the cylindrical portion of the panel holding portion is rotated with an appropriate operating load and moderation with respect to the sleeve at the tip of the display pole, The direction of the display pole standing on the table can be easily and surely changed without removing the panel clamping portion.
