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, 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 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.

  Thus, it can be assumed that the main body frame thus formed in a three-dimensional shape with a metal rod has a unit structure. In this case, a plurality of frame units each supporting the magazine unit and the like are arranged vertically and horizontally.

  However, in this case, the pair of main body frames are positioned in a gap such as a magazine unit supported by frame units adjacent in the left-right direction. For this reason, the density of a magazine unit or the like supported by frame units adjacent in the left-right direction decreases.

  For example, if a frame unit adjacent in the left-right direction is displaced in the front-rear direction, and a main body frame of a frame unit adjacent in the left-right direction is adjacent in the front-rear direction, the gap of the magazine unit or the like becomes the left-right width of one main body frame . However, in this case, the positions of the front surfaces of adjacent magazine units and the like move back and forth.

  That is, when the main body frame of the conventional cigarette display system is simply unitized, the gap between the cigarette packs arranged in the left-right direction increases when the front and rear positions of the front surface of the cigarette pack to be displayed are matched.

  On the other hand, if the gap between the cigarette packs is minimized, the front surfaces of the cigarette packs to be displayed do not match. Therefore, it is difficult to effectively display the cigarette pack in the minimum necessary space.

  For example, even if the magazine unit is slidable in the front-rear direction with respect to the frame unit and the frame units arranged in the left-right direction are displaced in the front-rear direction, the front-rear position of the magazine unit can be matched.

  However, in this case, the positions of the front surfaces of the plurality of magazine units are manually adjusted to match. For this reason, the operation is complicated, and an error is likely to occur in the position of the front surface of the magazine unit arranged vertically and horizontally.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and provides a frame unit having a structure in which a plurality of cigarette packs can be displayed densely while easily and reliably matching the positions of the front surfaces. 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 formed in a rail shape elongated in the front-rear direction for supporting a separate tray unit. A plurality of support frames arranged in pairs in the vertical direction, and a plurality of main body frames formed in a rectangular frame shape in which the support frames are joined to the inner surface and arranged in the front-rear direction. Guide recesses that engage with the tray protrusions formed on both sides of the lower surface of the tray unit are formed in the support frame. When arranged in the direction, the front and rear positions of the respective guide recesses are the same.

  Therefore, in the frame unit of the present invention, when a plurality of frame units are alternately reversed in the front-rear direction and the main body frames are arranged in the left-right direction in an arrangement adjacent to the front-rear direction, the gap between the adjacent tray units is equal to the left-right width of one main body frame. Become. In addition, since the front and rear positions of the guide concave portions of the respective support frames are the same, the front and rear positions of the plurality of tray units with which the tray convex portions are engaged also coincide with each other.

  The cigarette display system of the present invention is a cigarette display system for displaying cigarette packs to be sold, wherein the main body frames are arranged in the left-right direction so as to be alternately reversed in the front-rear direction. A plurality of frame units, and a plurality of tray units formed in a box shape having an upper surface opening and held by 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, when a plurality of frame units are alternately inverted in the front-rear direction and the main body frames are arranged in the left-right direction in an arrangement adjacent to the front-rear direction, the gap between adjacent tray units is set to the left-right width of one main body frame. Can do. Nevertheless, the front and rear positions of a plurality of tray units adjacent in the left-right direction can also be matched. For this reason, it is possible to effectively display a plurality of cigarette packs by bringing the cigarette packs close together while matching the positions of the front surfaces. In addition, the tray convex portion of the tray unit engages with the guide concave portion of the frame unit. For this reason, the front-rear positions of the plurality of tray units arranged vertically and horizontally can be easily and reliably matched.

  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.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, the frame unit 300 is formed in a long and narrow rail shape in the front-rear direction for supporting the separate tray unit 200, and a plurality of support frames 320 arranged in the vertical direction one by one on the left and right. And a plurality of main body frames 310 formed in a rectangular frame shape in which the support frame 320 is joined to the inner surface and arranged in the front-rear direction.

  In the frame unit 300, guide recesses 321 that engage with the tray protrusions 201 formed on both sides of the lower surface of the tray unit 200 are formed in the support frame 320.

  When the plurality of frame units 300 are alternately reversed in the front-rear direction and the main body frame 310 is arranged in the left-right direction in an arrangement adjacent to the front-rear direction, the front-rear positions of the respective guide recesses 321 are the same.

  And the tobacco display system 1000 of this Embodiment constructed | assembled using the above-mentioned frame unit 300 is formed in the box shape of an elongate upper surface opening in the front-back direction, as shown in FIG. A plurality of magazine units 100 having a shape for holding a plurality of arranged cigarette packs T, and a plurality of shapes for removably holding a plurality of magazine units 100 formed in a box shape with an opening on the top and arranged in the left-right direction. Tray units 200 and a plurality of frame units 300 that are alternately inverted in the front-rear direction so that the main body frame 310 is arranged in the left-right direction in an arrangement adjacent to 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.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 to 9, the tray unit 200 is also formed of a colorless and transparent resin in a box shape having an upper surface opened. In the tray unit 200, a plurality of magazine units 100 are accommodated in the tray unit 200 in a state of being arranged in the left-right direction. However, the magazine units 100a and 100b are of two types having different front and rear lengths as described above.

  Therefore, in the cigarette display system 1000 according to the present embodiment, a tray unit 200a that accommodates five magazine units 100a having a large longitudinal length, a tray unit 200b that accommodates three magazine units 100a having a large longitudinal length, and a magazine having a small longitudinal length. There are a tray unit 200c that accommodates five units 100b and a tray unit 200d that accommodates three magazine units 100b having a small front-rear length.

  The tray unit 200 has tray convex portions 201 formed on both sides of the bottom surface. However, the tray unit 200 has four types of combinations of two types of widths and two types of longitudinal lengths as described above, but the distance between the tray convex portion 201 and the front surface is the same. Further, a pocket 202 for accommodating, for example, advertising cards for a plurality of cigarette packs T is also formed at the front portion of the tray unit 200.

  The frame unit 300 includes a pair of main body frames 310 and a plurality of support frames 320 as shown in FIGS. The main body frame 310 is made of a metal plate bent so that the front surface shape is a rectangular frame shape, and a pair of the main body frame 310 are arranged in the front-rear direction.

  The support frame 320 is made of a metal plate formed in the shape of a rail elongated in the front-rear direction for supporting the tray unit 200, and a plurality of the support frames 320 are arranged in the vertical direction and joined to the inner side surfaces of the pair of main body frames 310.

  However, the tray unit 200 has two types of left and right widths as described above. Therefore, in the cigarette display system 1000 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 10 to 13, a frame unit 300a that holds three tray units 200a and 200c having a large lateral width and tray units 200a and 200c having a large lateral width. There are a frame unit 300b that holds two tray units, a frame unit 300c that holds three tray units 200b and 200d with small left and right widths, and a frame unit 300d that holds two tray units 200b and 200d with small left and right widths.

  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.

As shown in FIG. 16, the front-rear width A of the main body frame 310, the distance B from the rear edge of the front main body frame 310 to the front edge of the guide concave portion 321, and the rear main body frame from the rear edge of the guide concave portion 321 The distance C to the leading edge of 310 is
B = A + C
Is satisfied.

  For this reason, when arranging the plurality of frame units 300 in the left-right direction, if the front and back are alternately inverted in the odd-numbered and even-numbered directions so that the main body frame 310 is adjacent in the front-rear direction, FIG. As shown in FIG. 16, the front and rear positions of each guide recess 321 are the same. Therefore, even when the tray unit 200 is mounted on the frame unit 300 arranged in this manner, 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 of the present embodiment, when the tray unit 200 is held by the frame unit 300 as described above, the tray convex portion 201 engages 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.

  In the cigarette display system 1000 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the plurality of frame units 300 are alternately reversed in the front-rear direction, and the main body frames 310 are arranged in the left-right direction in an arrangement adjacent to the front-rear direction. .

  For this reason, the gap between adjacent tray units 200 is the left-right width of one main body frame 310. Therefore, the cigarette packs T displayed in the frame units 300 arranged in the left-right direction can be well packed.

  In particular, the main body frame 310 is formed of a metal plate instead of a metal bar. Therefore, the main body frame 310 positioned 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.

  Nevertheless, as described above, when the plurality of frames are alternately reversed in the front-rear direction and the main body frame 310 is arranged in the left-right direction in the arrangement adjacent to the front-rear direction, the front-rear positions of the plurality of tray units 200 adjacent in the left-right direction are also matched. Can do. For this reason, it is possible to match the positions of the front surfaces of the plurality of cigarette packs T that are densely displayed as described above.

  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. 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 can be made the same.

In particular, as shown in FIG. 16, the frame unit 300 includes a front-rear width A of the main body frame 310, a distance B from the rear edge of the front main body frame 310 to the front edge of the guide concave portion 321, and the rear edge of the guide concave portion 321. The distance C from the front edge of the rear body frame 310 to
B = A + C
Is satisfied. For this reason, it is possible to easily realize a structure in which the front and rear positions of the guide recesses 321 coincide with each other as described above.

  Further, when the plurality of frame units 300 are arranged in the vertical direction, the main body frame 310 made of a metal plate bent in a frame shape comes into contact with each other on the surfaces. 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.

  Moreover, in the cigarette display system 1000 according to 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 are clipped members 331 and fastener members 332. And can also be connected in the left-right direction.

  For this reason, a plurality of frame units 300 can be easily connected in the left-right direction without requiring a tool or the like. 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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  At present, the cigarette pack T and the cigarette carton K are packed in a cardboard box and provided to the store, and the magazine unit 100 and the tray unit 200 of the cigarette display system 1000 are replenished 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. 17, 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. 18, 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. 19 and 20, a slider unit 430 that is detachable from the tray unit 200 is prepared.

  As shown in FIG. 19, the slider unit 430 is provided with resin parts 432 and 433 before and after 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. 20, 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 pressed 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. 21, 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. 22, 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.

  Moreover, in the said form, the some frame unit 300 arranged in the left-right direction illustrated connecting with the separate clip member 331 and fastener member 332 which are left-right connection mechanisms.

  However, as in the frame unit 330 illustrated in FIG. 23, a hook and loop fastener 331 may be mounted on the side surfaces of the main body frame 310 and the support frame 320 as a left and right coupling mechanism. In this case, the plurality of frame units 330 arranged in the left-right direction can be connected by the surface fasteners 331 on the side surfaces.

  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.
