Description

  The present invention relates to a frame unit used in a cigarette display system for displaying cigarette packs to be sold, and more particularly to a frame unit of a cigarette display system used in a convenience store or the like.

  Currently, stores such as so-called convenience stores display cigarette packs for sale. The cigarette pack referred to here means not a cigarette that is actually smoked, but a rectangular parallelepiped package containing a plurality of cigarettes.

  A cigarette display system for displaying cigarette packs includes, for example, a plurality of magazine units and one system frame. The magazine unit is formed of, for example, a colorless and transparent resin in a box shape having an upper surface opening that is elongated in the front-rear direction.

  The magazine unit is accommodated from above in a state where the standing tobacco packs are arranged in the front-rear direction. In the magazine unit, a slider member is slidably mounted on the bottom surface in the front-rear direction.

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

  Further, a wound plate spring serving as an urging mechanism is attached to the rear portion of the slider member. One end of the leaf spring is pulled out from the slider member and attached to the front of the bottom of the magazine unit.

  For this reason, the slider member slidable in the front-rear direction is resiliently biased forward by the leaf spring. Accordingly, the plurality of cigarette packs accommodated in the magazine unit are pressed forward by the slider member.

  The system frame holds a plurality of magazine units arranged vertically and horizontally. The system frame includes a plurality of guide rails and one main body frame. A pair of guide rails holds both sides of the magazine unit. The main body frame is formed in a three-dimensional shape with a metal rod, for example. A plurality of guide rails are fixed to the main body frame in pairs.

  In the cigarette display system as described above, for example, 20 magazine units are mounted on the system frame in an array of 4 rows and 5 columns. For example, ten cigarette packs are accommodated in each magazine unit.

  In such a cigarette display system, the cigarette pack is stored in a standing state in a colorless and transparent magazine unit, and therefore, the cigarette pack is displayed with its surface positioned on the front surface. Therefore, for example, ten kinds of cigarette packs can be accommodated while being displayed.

  When selling a cigarette pack, it is only necessary to pull it upward from the front position of the magazine unit. In that case, the cigarette pack accommodated in the magazine unit is pressed forward by the slider member. For this reason, even if a cigarette pack is extracted from the foremost position of the magazine unit, the state where the cigarette pack is arranged at that position is maintained.

  When refilling the cigarette pack with the cigarette display system, the magazine unit is removed from the system frame. A cigarette pack is accommodated in the magazine unit, and the magazine unit in which the cigarette pack is accommodated is attached to the system frame. For this reason, the complicated operation | work which replenishes a cigarette pack to the magazine unit fixed to the system frame is unnecessary.

In the cigarette display system as described above, for example, by removing the magazine unit from the system frame, the magazine unit can be washed or cleaned.

  However, the overall shape of the cigarette display system as described above is fixed. For this reason, when there is a space where another cigarette display system cannot be installed on the side where the cigarette display system is installed, this space becomes a dead space.

  Also, the upper space where the cigarette display system is installed is basically a dead space. On the other hand, a space that cannot be installed with a cigarette display system is also a dead space.

  In the cigarette display system as described above, the arrangement of the magazine units is also fixed. For example, cigarette packs are also sold in so-called cigarette cartons, which cannot be displayed in the cigarette display system described above.

  In addition, cigarette packs may be sold as campaign products packed with a writer or ashtray. However, such campaign packs cannot be displayed on the cigarette display system described above.

  In addition, a product such as a cigarette pack may be provided to a store together with a dedicated simple fixture as a campaign. Such a simple fixture is formed of cardboard or the like in a structure in which cigarette packs or campaign packs are arranged in a staircase pattern in two rows and three columns, for example.

  However, it is difficult to incorporate such a simple fixture into a cigarette display system. Therefore, it is necessary to install the simple fixture separately from the cigarette display system in the store where the simple fixture is supplied.

  That is, in the conventional cigarette display system, the form in which the cigarette pack is displayed is fixed. For this reason, the store could not change the display form of the cigarette pack. Similarly, companies that supply cigarette packs to stores have not been able to propose new forms of display.

  In addition, for example, many convenience stores are open 24 hours. For this reason, it is necessary to carry in and install the cigarette display system in a state where the store is open to the customer. In other words, it is necessary to quickly carry in and install the cigarette display system in a space-saving manner. However, this is difficult with conventional cigarette display systems.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, for example, it can be assumed that the cigarette display system has a unit structure. However, as described above, the conventional cigarette display system holds a plurality of magazine units arranged vertically and horizontally on the system frame.

  This system frame is composed of a plurality of guide rails for holding a pair of magazine units, and a single main body frame which is formed in a three-dimensional shape with metal rods and fixed in pairs. However, it is not easy to make the main body frame formed in a three-dimensional shape with a metal rod as a unit structure.

  For example, when a frame unit formed in a three-dimensional shape with metal bars is arranged in the vertical direction, the metal bar of the upper frame unit is placed on the metal bar of the lower frame unit. However, it is difficult to stably place the metal bar on the metal bar in this way.

  For example, the frame unit can be formed in a cage shape by combining metal bars in the front, rear, left, and right directions, and the pseudo lower surface of the upper frame unit can be joined to the pseudo upper surface of the lower frame unit.

  However, in this case, the number of parts of the frame unit made of metal bars increases. Further, the number of places where the metal bars are joined by welding or the like increases. For this reason, the productivity of the frame unit requiring mass production is lowered.

  Furthermore, even if the frame units formed of metal bars as described above are combined vertically and horizontally, the metal bars do not have sufficient strength, so it is difficult to realize an overall strong cigarette display system.

  For example, in order to realize an overall strong cigarette display system, it can be assumed that the frame unit is formed in a cage shape by combining metal bars as described above. However, in this case, the productivity of the frame unit that requires mass production as described above decreases.

  Moreover, in order to implement | achieve a firm tobacco display system, it can also be assumed that the diameter of the metal rod which forms a frame unit is expanded. However, the metal bar is also located in the gap between the plurality of magazine units arranged vertically and horizontally.

  For this reason, when the diameter of the metal rod is enlarged, a gap in at least a part of the magazine units arranged in the vertical and horizontal directions increases. Accordingly, since the density of the cigarette packs to be displayed is lowered, the display effect is deteriorated.

  Moreover, even if the rigidity of the frame unit is improved by combining the metal bars in a cage shape or increasing the diameter as described above, a plurality of frame units made of metal bars can be easily and firmly connected to each other. It's not easy. For this reason, it is difficult to realize a cigarette display system that is strong overall.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and provides a frame unit with good productivity that can be easily combined vertically and horizontally to realize an overall strong cigarette display system. is there.

  The frame unit of the present invention is a frame unit used in a cigarette display system for displaying cigarette packs to be sold, and is composed of a metal plate bent so that the front surface shape is a rectangular frame shape. A plurality of body frames arranged in a direction and a metal plate formed in the shape of a long and narrow rail in the front-rear direction to support a separate tray unit, and the inner surfaces of the plurality of body frames arranged in pairs vertically A plurality of support frames joined to each other.

  Therefore, in the frame unit of the present invention, when a plurality of the frame units are arranged in the vertical direction, the main body frames made of a metal plate bent in a frame shape come into contact with each other on the surfaces. Therefore, the plurality of frame units are stably arranged in the vertical direction. Furthermore, the main body frames that come into contact with each other are simply and firmly joined. The support frame made of a metal plate and the main body frame have high rigidity, and the plurality of main body frames arranged in the front-rear direction and the support frames arranged in pairs in the up-down direction are joined together, so the whole has high rigidity. is there. Since a plurality of frame units each having high rigidity are stably joined in the vertical direction, a plurality of frame units realize a strong cigarette display system as a whole. The support frame made of a metal plate and the main body frame are easily and firmly joined together by spot welding or adhesion. Since the pair of main body frames and the plurality of pairs of support frames are formed with high rigidity, the number of parts and the joint locations are reduced.

  A first cigarette display system of the present invention is a cigarette display system for displaying cigarette packs to be sold, and includes a plurality of tray units formed in a box shape with an upper surface opening, and a plurality of tray units attached and detached. A plurality of frame units of the present invention that are freely held.

  A second cigarette display system of the present invention is a cigarette display system for displaying cigarette packs to be sold, and includes a plurality of tray units formed in a box shape with an upper surface opening, and a plurality of tray units attached and detached. The frame unit of the present invention that is freely held, a plurality of wall units that are formed in a flat plate shape that is flat in the front-rear direction and has a predetermined shape on the front surface, and a plurality of wall units that are connected in the vertical direction A wall connection mechanism, an engagement mechanism that is detachably engaged with the unevenness of the wall unit, and a frame attachment that has a frame suspension part for suspending the frame unit.

  In the present invention, the front / rear / left / right directions are also defined in addition to the upper / lower direction, but this is defined for the sake of convenience in order to simply explain the relative relationship of the components of the present invention, and the present invention is implemented. There is no limitation on the direction of manufacture or use.

  The various components of the present invention do not necessarily have to be independent of each other. A plurality of components are formed as a single member, and a single component is formed of a plurality of members. It may be that a certain component is a part of another component, a part of a certain component overlaps with a part of another component, or the like.

  In the frame unit of the present invention, the high-rigidity support frame and the main body frame are formed with high rigidity as a whole. In addition, a plurality can be stably arranged in the vertical direction and can be easily and firmly joined. For this reason, since a plurality of highly rigid frame units can be firmly joined to each other, a strong cigarette display system can be realized as a whole. Nevertheless, since there are few parts and joints, a structure with good productivity can be provided.

  An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The frame unit 300 of this embodiment is used in a cigarette display system 1000 for displaying cigarette packs T to be sold.

  For this reason, as shown in FIG. 1, the frame unit 300 is separately formed from a plurality of main body frames 310 made of a metal plate bent so that the front surface shape is a rectangular frame shape and arranged in the front-rear direction. A plurality of support frames 320 made of metal plates formed in the shape of rails elongated in the front-rear direction to support the tray unit 200 and arranged in pairs in the vertical direction and joined to the inner side surfaces of the plurality of main body frames 310; Have

  The cigarette display system 1000 according to the present embodiment constructed using the frame unit 300 described above has a plurality of cigarette packs that are formed in a box shape having an elongated upper surface opening in the front-rear direction and arranged in the front-rear direction.

  More specifically, the cigarette display system 1000 displays a cigarette pack T, a cigarette carton K in which a plurality of cigarette packs T are packed, a campaign pack P in which the cigarette pack T is packed with a bonus, and the like. In addition, this campaign pack P is provided to a store with the simple furniture F formed with cardboard, for example.

  At present, the cigarette pack T is generally formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape having a common longitudinal length and lateral width, although the height is somewhat higher and lower. In the present embodiment, the maximum surface of the cigarette pack T is defined as a front surface and a rear surface, and the minimum surface is defined as an upper surface and a lower surface.

  In general, the brand of the cigarette pack T is written on the front surface (and the rear surface). For this reason, it is preferable to display in the state of the appropriate direction in which the front surface is located ahead. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the magazine unit 100 accommodates the plurality of cigarette packs T in the proper direction as described above in a state of being arranged in the front-rear direction.

  However, in the cigarette display system 1000 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the magazine unit 100a having a large front and rear length and holding 13 cigarette packs T and the seven cigarette packs T having a small front and rear length are held. Magazine unit 100b.

  The magazine unit 100 is formed of a colorless and transparent resin. Further, pockets 101 and 102 whose upper surfaces are opened are formed at the front end and the rear end of the magazine unit 100.

  In the front pocket 101, for example, a price tag of a cigarette pack T to be presented to a customer is accommodated. In the rear pocket 102, for example, an information card of a cigarette pack T confirmed by a store clerk is accommodated.

  An opening hole 104 elongated in the front-rear direction is formed at the bottom of the magazine unit 100, and a slider member 110 is slidably mounted in the opening hole 104 in the front-rear direction.

  The slider member 110 has a wound leaf spring 111 attached to the rear as an urging mechanism. One end of the leaf spring 111 is pulled out from the bottom surface of the slider member 110 and attached to the front portion of the magazine unit 100.

  For this reason, the slider member 110 is elastically biased forward by the leaf spring 111. As shown in FIG. 4, the leaf spring 111 drawn out from the slider member 110 is located inside the opening hole 104 of the magazine unit 100, and therefore does not contact the bottom surface of the cigarette pack T accommodated in the magazine unit 100. .

  A stopper step 105 is formed on the rear bottom of the magazine unit 100. By engaging with the stopper step 105, the slider member 110 stops against the tension of the leaf spring 111.

  Further, a magazine convex portion 107 having a triangular cross-sectional shape orthogonal to the left-right direction is formed on the front portion of the bottom surface of the magazine unit 100. The magazine projection 107 is formed to have the same longitudinal length as the longitudinal length of one cigarette pack T.

  For this reason, the plurality of cigarette packs T accommodated in the magazine unit 100 and press-contacted forward by the slider member 110 are in a state in which only one frontmost portion protrudes upward as shown in FIG.

  In the magazine unit 100, the magazine convex portion 107 is formed at the front portion of the bottom surface as described above, but the bottom surface has a flat surface having no convex portion in the range in which the slider member 110 rearward moves.

  In the frame unit 300, a guide recess 321 is formed in the support frame 320. The tray convex portion 201 of the tray unit 200 is engaged with the guide concave portion 321. As described above, the tray unit 200 has two kinds of longitudinal lengths, but the distance from the front surface to the tray convex portion 201 is the same.

  The four types of frame units 300 also have the same distance from the front surface of each of the four frame units 300 to the guide recess 321. For this reason, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the position of the front surface of the tray unit 200 held by the frame unit 300 is the same.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 14A, when the frame units 300 are alternately inverted in the front-rear direction and a plurality of main body frames 310 are arranged adjacent to each other in the front-rear direction, The front and rear positions are the same.

  That is, when the plurality of frame units 300 are arranged in the left-right direction, the front and back are alternately inverted at the odd-numbered and even-numbered parts so that the main body frame 310 is adjacent in the front-rear direction. The position is the same. Therefore, even when the tray unit 200 is mounted on the frame unit 300 arranged in this way, the position of the front surface is the same as shown in FIG.

  The frame unit 300 is provided with hook and loop fasteners 311 serving as a frame connecting mechanism on both upper and lower sides of the main body frame 310. In addition, 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. At the center of the upper surface of the main body frame 310, a convex member 314 serving as a frame convex portion is attached.

  Therefore, in the cigarette display system 1000 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, when a plurality of frame units 300 having the same width are installed in the vertical direction, the plurality of frame units 300 are connected by a hook-and-loop fastener 311. . At this time, the frame through hole 313 and the convex member 314 are engaged.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 15, the cigarette display system 1000 according to the present embodiment has a clip member as a left-right coupling mechanism that holds a plurality of frame units 300 that are alternately reversed in the front-rear direction and arranged in the left-right direction as described above. 331 and a fastener member 332.

  The clip member 331 is formed of a spring material, and elastically holds the main body frame 310 adjacent in the front-rear direction as described above. The fastener member 332 has a structure in which a pair of surface fasteners are mounted on the lower surface of the resin plate, and is joined to the adjacent surface fasteners 311 on the upper surfaces of the plurality of frame units 300 arranged as described above.

  In the configuration as described above, in the cigarette display system 1000 according to the present embodiment, when the plurality of frame units 300 are arranged in the vertical direction, the main body frame 310 made of a metal plate material bent in a frame shape has a surface-to-surface configuration. Abut. Therefore, the plurality of frame units 300 can be stably arranged in the vertical direction.

  Moreover, the frame unit 300 can easily and firmly join the main body frame 310 that abuts between the surfaces by the hook-and-loop fastener 311. Therefore, the plurality of frame units 300 can be easily connected in the vertical direction without the need for tools or the like.

  Further, products used for joining automobile parts or the like can be used as the surface fastener 311 described above. In that case, the plurality of frame units 300 can be firmly connected by the hook-and-loop fastener 311.

  Furthermore, when the plurality of frame units 300 are connected in the vertical direction as described above, the pair of convex members 314 of the lower frame unit 300 engage with the pair of frame through holes 313 of the upper frame unit 300. For this reason, the front-rear and left-right relative positions of the plurality of frame units 300 connected in the up-down direction can be simply and reliably made appropriate.

  In addition, the frame unit 300 is supported by a plurality of support frames 320 that respectively support the tray unit 200 arranged in a vertical direction by a pair of body frames 310, and the pair of body frames 310 are supported by the plurality of support frames 320. It is arranged and supported in the front-rear direction.

  Furthermore, since the support frame 320 is bent into a U-shaped cross-sectional shape, it is highly rigid. Since the main body frame 310 is formed in a closed shape like a frame, it is highly rigid. Since the main body frames 310 arranged in the front-rear direction are connected by the support frames 320 arranged in the up-down direction, a strong three-dimensional structure is realized.

  Moreover, the main body frame 310 and the support frame 320 made of a metal plate can be easily and firmly joined by spot welding or the like. For this reason, the frame unit 300 has extremely high rigidity as compared with a conventional fixture or the like formed of a metal bar or the like.

  Furthermore, the frame unit 300 is formed of the minimum necessary frames 310 and 320 that serve as both functional parts and structures as described above. For this reason, the frame unit 300 has a small number of parts and a small number of joints, has good productivity, and is lightweight.

  Further, in the cigarette display system 1000 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15, a plurality of frame units 300 that are alternately reversed in the front-rear direction and arranged in the left-right direction as described above are provided with clip members 331 and fastener members 332. And can also be connected in the left-right direction.

In addition, as described above, the hook-and-loop fastener 311 for connecting the frame unit 300 in the vertical direction is also used for connection in the left-right direction, so that the component utilization efficiency is good.

  And since the cigarette display system 1000 of this Embodiment can arrange | position the several highly rigid frame units 300 to the upper and lower sides, and right and left firmly as mentioned above, it can implement | achieve a strong structure on the whole. it can.

  Moreover, in the cigarette display system 1000 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, four types of frame units 300a to 300d, four types of tray units 200a to 200d, and two types of magazine units 100a and 100b are provided to the user. Can be freely combined as desired.

  For this reason, it can be set as the external shape corresponding to the space in which the tobacco display system 1000 is installed, and space can be used effectively. In particular, since there are the wide frame units 300a and 300b that hold the cigarette packs T in five rows and the narrow frame units 300c and 300d that hold the cigarette packs T in three rows, it can cope with the right and left width of the installation space. .

  Furthermore, since there are the tall frame units 300a, 300c that hold the cigarette pack T in three rows and the low frame units 300b, 300d that hold the cigarette pack T in two rows, it is possible to cope with the vertical height of the installation space. Can do.

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

  The tray units 200a to 200d are held by the frame units 300a to 300d corresponding to the left and right widths. However, the front and rear length of the tray unit 200 held by the frame unit 300 is not limited.

  The frame unit 300 holds two or three tray units 200. There is no limitation on the minimum number of tray units 200 held by the frame unit 300.

  The magazine units 100a and 100b are held by tray units 200a to 200d corresponding to front and rear lengths. However, it is also possible to directly hold the cigarette carton K, the simple fixture F of the campaign pack P, etc. without causing the tray unit 200 to hold the magazine unit 100. That is, the cigarette carton K or the simple furniture F having a shape that cannot be accommodated in the magazine unit 100 can be displayed.

  In the cigarette display system 1000 according to the present embodiment, as described above, there are a plurality of types of the frame unit 300, the tray unit 200, and the magazine unit 100, and the degree of freedom of their combination is extremely high.

  For this reason, the store which sells the cigarette pack T can change the display form freely as desired. Furthermore, a company that supplies the cigarette pack T to the store can also propose a new display form.

  The cigarette display system 1000 according to the present embodiment can be carried in a state where each part is disassembled, and can be assembled without using a tool. Therefore, carrying-in and installation can be executed quickly and in a space-saving manner.

  For example, in a 24-hour convenience store, it is necessary to carry in and install the cigarette display system 1000 in a state where the store is open to customers. However, since the cigarette display system 1000 can quickly carry in and install in a space-saving manner as described above, it does not hinder sales operations such as convenience stores.

  Further, when the tray unit 200 is held by the frame unit 300 as described above, the tray convex portion 201 is engaged with the guide concave portion 321. For this reason, the tray unit 200 is easily and reliably held at an appropriate position by the frame unit 300.

  Moreover, although there are a plurality of types of tray units 200 having different front and rear lengths, the distance from the front surface to the tray convex portion 201 is common. The plurality of types of frame units 300 also have the same distance from the front surface to the guide recess 321. For this reason, even if a plurality of types of tray units 200 are held in a plurality of types of frame units 300, the positions of the front surfaces of the tray units 200 are the same.

  Moreover, when a plurality of frame units 300 are arranged in the left-right direction as described above, the front-rear positions of the guide recesses 321 of the support frame 320 are the same even if the front-rear is reversed alternately.

  Therefore, even if the tray unit 200 is held 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, the position of the front surface of the cigarette pack T held and displayed by the plurality of units 100 to 300 can be made the same, and the cigarette pack T can be displayed beautifully. Can do.

  In addition, when the plurality of frame units 300 that are alternately reversed in the front-rear direction as described above are arranged in the left-right direction, the main body frames 310 of the adjacent frame units 300 are adjacent in the front-rear direction.

  For this reason, the gap between adjacent tray units 200 generates only the thickness of one main body frame 310. Further, the main body frame 310 is formed of a metal plate instead of a metal bar. Therefore, the cigarette display system 1000 according to the present embodiment can densely pack the cigarette packs T to be displayed in the left-right direction.

  Thus, the main body frame 310 located in the gap between the adjacent tray units 200 is made of a metal plate that is flat in the left-right direction. For this reason, even if the front-rear width of the main body frame 310 is increased in order to improve the rigidity of the frame unit 300, the density of the displayed cigarette packs T does not decrease. In other words, the cigarette display system 1000 of the present embodiment can easily improve the overall rigidity without reducing the effect of the display of the cigarette pack T.

  Moreover, the magazine unit 100 presses the accommodated plurality of cigarette packs T forward by the slider member 110. For this reason, the cigarette packs T accommodated in the plurality of magazine units 100 can be automatically displayed at a common position.

  In addition, the magazine unit 100 causes the plurality of accommodated cigarette packs T to protrude upward by only one of the frontmost portions by the magazine convex portion 107. For this reason, one piece can be easily taken out from the plurality of cigarette packs T accommodated.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the magazine unit 100 can be stopped against the tension of the leaf spring 111 by engaging the slider member 110 slid rearward with the stopper step portion 105. For this reason, the magazine unit 100 can be easily replenished with a plurality of cigarette packs T.

  Further, when the plurality of frame units 300 are arranged in the left-right direction with the front and rear being alternately reversed as described above, the gap between the plurality of frame units 300 arranged in the left-right direction can be minimized. . For this reason, the density at which the cigarette pack T is displayed can be improved.

  In addition, the tray units 200a and 200c that hold the five magazine units 100 are slightly longer than the overall length of the cigarette carton K. Therefore, the cigarette display system 1000 according to the present embodiment can accommodate the cigarette carton K in the tray units 200a and 200c in a horizontally long state as shown in FIG.

  Furthermore, a simple fixture F in which the campaign pack P is set can be placed on the tray units 200a and 200c (not shown). Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the above-mentioned simple fixture F can be placed on the upper surface of the frame unit 300, or can be arranged inside the frame unit 300 in which the tray unit 200 is not set (not shown). )

  Further, since the cigarette display system 1000 according to the present embodiment can be assembled by freely combining the frame unit 300, the tray unit 200, and the magazine unit 100 as described above, a part thereof is disassembled and cleaned. It is also easy.

  In particular, the magazine unit 100 of the present embodiment is a flat surface whose bottom surface does not have a convex portion at least in a range in which the slider member 110 slides. For this reason, the bottom surface of the magazine unit 100 on which the cigarette pack T is directly placed and easily contaminated can be easily washed and cleaned.

  Further, the magazine unit 100 and the tray unit 200 are formed of a colorless and transparent resin. For this reason, the cigarette carton K accommodated in the tray unit 200 and the cigarette pack T accommodated in the tray unit 200 by the magazine unit 100 can be displayed in a state that can be satisfactorily viewed.

  Currently, the cigarette pack T and the cigarette carton K are packed in a cardboard box and provided to the store, and are replenished to the magazine unit 100 and the tray unit 200 of the cigarette display system 1000 at the store.

  However, the magazine unit 100 filled with the cigarette pack T and the tray unit 200 filled with the cigarette carton K can be provided to the store, and the empty magazine unit 100 and the tray unit 200 can be collected from the store. In this case, in the store, the operation of replenishing the cigarette pack T and the cigarette carton K to the magazine unit 100 and the tray unit 200 becomes unnecessary, so that the sales efficiency can be improved.

  The present invention is not limited to the present embodiment, and various modifications are allowed without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, in the above embodiment, the cigarette display system 1000 is exemplified by the magazine unit 100, the tray unit 200, and the frame unit 300.

  However, as shown in FIG. 16, the cigarette display system 1000 may further include a stocker unit 400 and a table unit 410. The stocker unit 400 is formed in a box shape in which at least the upper surface is flat and the front surface can be freely opened and closed.

  The table unit 410 is formed in a box shape having a flat upper surface and flat in the vertical direction. In the table unit 410, a table member 412 is accommodated in a unit box 411 so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction. For this reason, the table member 412 can be projected forward and used for work.

  Since the frame unit 300 has two types of left and right widths as described above, the stocker unit 400 and the table unit 410 are formed in two types of left and right widths corresponding to the frame unit 300.

  For this reason, the stocker unit 400 and the table unit 410 can be combined with the frame unit 300 to be used. Therefore, the entire cigarette display system 1000 can have a uniform appearance, and the occurrence of dead space can be effectively prevented.

  Furthermore, since the tray unit 200 has two types of front and rear lengths as described above, the stocker unit 400 and the table unit 410 are formed to have front and rear lengths corresponding to the tray units 200a and 200b having the largest front and rear lengths. Therefore, when any tray unit 200 is used, the tray unit 200 does not protrude outward from the stocker unit 400.

  By using the stocker unit 400 as described above, the cigarette display system 1000 can be installed in an appropriate state even where there is no counter or the like. Furthermore, by using the table unit 410 as described above, workability such as replenishment of the cigarette pack T can be improved, and it does not get in the way when not in use.

  The stocker unit 400 and the table unit 410 as described above, for example, have a structure that is connected in the vertical direction by unevenness and surface fasteners formed on the upper surface and the lower surface, like the frame unit 300. (Not shown).

  In this case, for example, the positions and structures of the unevenness and the surface fasteners are made common with the frame unit 300, so that the frame unit 300 can be installed in the stocker unit 400 and the table unit 410 appropriately and simply and firmly.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 17, the cigarette display system 1000 may further include an effect part 420. The effect part 420 is made of, for example, a resin panel having an L-shaped cross section. The front part 421 is formed to be an advertisement or decoration.

  In addition, a magnet 423 that is attracted to the main body frame 310 of the frame unit 300 is attached to a portion 422 orthogonal to the above-described portion. For this reason, it is possible to easily attach the effect part 420 to the upper surface or the side surface of the frame unit 300. For example, when the cigarette pack T to be sold is changed, the effect part 420 can be easily replaced. The production part 420 as described above can also be formed to have a full length corresponding to the vertical height and the horizontal width of the plurality of types of frame units 300, for example.

  Note that a surface fastener may be attached to the effect part 420 as described above, and the surface fastener may be joined to the surface fastener 311 on the upper surface of the frame unit 300. In this case, the production part 420 can be more firmly attached to the upper surface of the frame unit 300. Further, the frame units 300 arranged in the left-right direction can be connected by the effect parts 420.

  In the above embodiment, the slider unit 110 that presses the cigarette pack T forward by the spring force of the leaf spring 111 is attached to the magazine unit 100, and the cigarette carton K can be directly stored in the tray unit 200.

  However, the slider member 110 that presses the cigarette carton K forward by the elastic force of the leaf spring 111 can be mounted on the tray unit 200. In that case, as shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, a slider unit 430 detachably attached to the tray unit 200 is prepared.

  As shown in FIG. 18, the slider unit 430 has resin parts 432 and 433 attached to the front and rear of a guide rail 431. The slider member 110 is slidably supported on 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 front resin component 432. An adsorption member (not shown) that is adsorbed to the tray unit 200 due to physical properties is attached to the lower surface of the resin parts 432 and 433.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 19, by attaching a pair of slider units 430 to the bottom surface of the tray unit 200, the plurality of cigarette cartons K accommodated therein are pushed forward to always be at the forefront of the tray unit 200. Can be positioned.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the magazine unit 100 holds the cigarette pack T upright in the tray unit 200 is illustrated. However, as shown in FIG. 20, a resin panel 440 or the like bent in a waveform may be set on the bottom surface of the tray unit 200 and the cigarette pack T may be accommodated in an inclined state together with the magazine unit 100.

  In this case, since only four rows can be accommodated in the tray unit 200 that can accommodate the cigarette packs T in five rows, the efficiency of accommodation decreases. However, the display of the cigarette pack T can be changed.

  Furthermore, in the said form, it illustrated that the magazine unit 100 and the tray unit 200 were formed with the colorless and transparent resin. However, the magazine unit 100 or the like may be formed of fluorescent resin.

  In this case, for example, a normal cigarette pack T can be accommodated and displayed in a colorless and transparent magazine unit 100, and a newly released cigarette pack T can be accommodated and displayed in a fluorescent color magazine unit 100. In this case, the specific cigarette pack T can be favorably appealed.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the cigarette pack T, the campaign pack P, and the like are displayed on the frame unit 300 using the tray unit 200, the magazine unit 100, and the like. However, as shown in FIG. 21, the campaign pack P or the like may be displayed by a mesh unit 450 that is detachably attached to the frame unit 300.

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

  The base 453 is formed to have a left-right width and a front-rear length corresponding to the upper surface of the frame unit 300. A surface fastener (not shown) is mounted on the lower surface of the base 453 of the mesh unit 450. The surface fastener is detachably attached to the surface fastener 311 on the upper surface of the frame unit 300.

  When such a mesh unit 450 is mounted on the upper surface of the frame unit 300, the campaign pack P can be suspended by the S tube S on the mesh portion 452.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the cigarette display system 1000 is exemplified by the magazine unit 100, the tray unit 200, and the frame unit 300. However, as shown in FIGS. 22 to 26, a wall unit 500, a tray attachment 600, and a frame attachment 700 may be further included.

  In that case, as shown in FIG. 22, the cigarette display system 1000 can be constructed using the wall unit 500 without using the frame unit 300. As the wall unit 500, there are a base wall 500a and a panel wall 500b as shown in FIG.

  The base wall 500a and the panel wall 500b have a flat wall portion 510 that is flat in the front-rear direction. In the base wall 500a, a pedestal 520 is integrally formed at the lower end of the wall portion 510, and a wall coupling mechanism 530 is mounted at the upper end of the wall portion 510.

  The wall unit 510 of the wall unit 500 has irregularities of a predetermined shape on the front surface. More specifically, the concave and convex grooves 511 communicating in the left-right direction are formed in a shape that is arranged at predetermined intervals in the vertical direction. The concave groove 511 is formed in, for example, an L-shaped cross-sectional shape in which a rear portion is bent downward.

  A plurality of panel walls 500b can be connected in the vertical direction, and can also be connected to the upper end of the base wall 500a. Therefore, a desired vertical wall unit 500 can be formed.

  As shown in FIGS. 24 and 25, the tray attachments 600a to 600d are formed in a structure for individually holding the tray units 200a to 200d. More specifically, the tray attachment 600 includes a support frame 610 having the same structure as the support frame 320 of the frame unit 300.

  The pair of support frames 610 are connected by a connecting frame 620 on the front and back sides. In addition, 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. For this reason, the wall unit 500 is formed in the left-right width corresponding to the wide tray attachments 600a and 600c.

  The cigarette display system 1000 can connect a plurality of wall units 500 in the vertical direction to achieve a desired vertical height. Further, the wall units 500 can be arranged in the left-right direction to have a desired left-right width.

  Then, as described above, the tray attachment 600 can be mounted at a desired position on the front surface of the wall unit 500 arranged vertically and horizontally, and the tray attachment 200 can be held by the tray attachment 600. The tray unit 200 can store the cigarette carton K directly, and the magazine unit 100 can store the cigarette pack T.

  The frame attachment 700 includes a support portion 701 having an L-shaped cross section that is elongated in the front-rear direction, and an engagement mechanism 630 formed at the rear portion of the support portion 701. For this reason, as shown in FIGS. 22 and 27, the frame unit 300 can be attached to the front surface of the wall unit 500 by a pair of frame attachments 700.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 28, the wall units 500 arranged vertically and horizontally as described above can be installed on the upper surface of the stocker units 400 arranged vertically and horizontally. Further, a system constructed with the wall unit 500 and a system constructed with the frame unit 300 can be arranged side by side to form a cigarette display system 1000 (not shown).

  In the cigarette display system 1000 described above, the tray unit 200 and the magazine unit 100 are shared by the frame unit 300 and the wall unit 500 forming the whole. For this reason, a manufacturer that produces the cigarette display system 1000 can improve its productivity.

  Further, a store using the cigarette display system 1000 can continue to use the tray unit 200 and the magazine unit 100 even when the use of the frame unit 300 and the wall unit 500 is switched from one to the other.

  Further, even in a case where the cigarette display system 1000 constructed by the frame unit 300 is used in some of the sales floors and the cigarette display system 1000 constructed by the wall unit 500 is used in other parts, the tray unit 200 and the magazine unit are used. 100 can be shared.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 29, a box-shaped basket unit 710 having an open upper surface can be mounted on the front surface of the wall unit 500, and a cigarette carton K or the like can be accommodated in the basket unit 710.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 30, a shaft unit 720 elongated in the front-rear direction can be attached to the front surface of the wall unit 500, and a campaign pack P, a cigarette pack T, or the like can be suspended on the shaft unit 720.

  Currently, when a cigarette pack T or the like displayed in the cigarette display system 1000 is sold, the sales information is collected by an electronic cash register (not shown). Further, when the cigarette pack T or the like is replenished to the cigarette display system 1000, replenishment information and inventory information are also collected by a handy terminal (not shown).

  However, the function of collecting such sales information, replenishment information, and inventory information can be installed in the cigarette display system 1000. For example, at present, it is considered to mount an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) chip (not shown) on various products such as the cigarette pack T.

  Therefore, by installing an RFID reader (not shown) in the cigarette display system 1000, the cigarette display system 1000 can collect sales information, supplement information, and inventory information of the cigarette pack T.

  The RFID reader as described above may be mounted on, for example, the magazine unit 100, the tray unit 200, the frame unit 300, or the like, or a unit that is detachable from the magazine unit 100, the tray unit 200, the frame unit 300, or the like. It is good.

  In addition, when providing the cigarette display system 1000 to a store, naturally the combination of the units 100-500 required by a store differs. In that case, the units 100 to 500 required in the store will be examined, but a display simulator 800 for supporting the examination can also be provided to the store.

  As shown in FIG. 31, the display simulator 800a includes a flat unit model 810 simulating the shape of the front surface of the frame unit 300 at a predetermined scale, and a store counter (not shown) at the same scale.

  The layout mount 860 is formed of a magnetic sheet, and the models 810 to 850 are formed of a magnetic sheet. In a store provided with such a display simulator 800a, as shown in FIG. 32, by laying out various models 810 to 830 on a layout mount 860, a combination of various units 100 to 500 of the cigarette display system 1000 can be combined. Can be considered.

  Moreover, in this display simulator 800a, since there is also a human model 850 at a uniform scale, the relative relationship between the cigarette display system 1000 and a human can also be confirmed. In particular, the human model 850 is formed so that the arm portion is rotatable. For this reason, it can also be confirmed whether the cigarette display system 1000 can be constructed in a range where a human can work.

  Furthermore, the manufacturer of the cigarette display system 1000 collects the display simulator 800 in which various models 810 to 830 are laid out on the layout mount 860 at the store, and the manufacturer provides various units 100 to 500 and the like to the store according to the layout. You can also
