With the protrusion 42 located in the middle of the rail-like member 16, the operator uses the deflection of the slider member 21 to open the opening 46 from a position surrounded by the main body 44 and the protrusion 47. The rail-like member 16 is taken out to the outside through the rail-like member 16. In this state, the operator rotates the slider member 21 relative to the rail-like member 16 so that the protrusion 42 faces the first recess 48 , and inserts the protrusion 42 into the first recess 48 . The rail-like member 16 is returned to a position surrounded by the portion 44 and the raised portion 47. As a result, the slider member 21 is attached to the rail-like member 16 in the positional relationship shown in FIGS. 1 and 15.

Subsequently, the first biasing member 23 is placed between the slider member 21 and the base 14 (fixed portion 43 of the rail-like member 16). On the other hand, the stopper member 18 (stopper member main body 67, second biasing member 68) is attached to the housing portion 62 of the guide member 17 so as to be integrated. Further, the guide member 17 and the stopper member 18 are fixed to the slider member 21. The support shaft 15 is passed through the first through hole 56 of the guide member 17, and the end portion 36 of the support shaft 15 is further inserted into the hole 13 of the base 14. Finally, the display member 22 is fixed to the hinge portion 52 of the slider member 21 to complete the assembly of the hanging tool 11.

The operation of the hanging tool 11 of this embodiment will be explained with reference to FIGS. 15 to 25. First, a description will be given of the front-loading work (face-up process) of the product 10 that is performed as part of daily store management work. One or more products 10 are suspended from the support shaft 15 in a state as shown in FIG. 25. In this embodiment, the guide member 17 is fixed to a slider member 21 that is slidable relative to the rail-like member 16 . Further, the support shaft 15 is passed through the first through hole 56 of the guide member 17 with some play (clearance), and the support shaft 15 is passed inside the second through hole 71 of the stopper member 18. has been done. Therefore, the worker managing the store can move the guide member 17 together with the slider member 21 by simply pulling out the slider member 21 to which the display member 22 is fixed. Since the guide member 17 pushes out one or more products from the back side to the front side, the operator can easily move the product 10 forward. Further, when the operator releases the slider member 21, the slider member 21 and the guide member 17 are returned to their original positions by the tensile action of the first biasing member 23.

Next, we will explain product replenishment as part of store management work. In order to manage the dates of the products 10, an operator replenishes new products 10 from behind the spindle 15. At this time, the operator uses his fingers to pull out the support shaft 15 on which the product 10 is suspended toward the front side, as shown in FIGS. 15, 16, and 20. At this time, the support shaft 15 is pulled out from the hole 13 of the base 14, but the periphery of the rib portion 37 of the support shaft 15 is held by the guide member 17 and the stopper member 18. That is, the stopper member 18 is held at the release position P2 until the stopper member 18 moves to the restriction position P1 where it engages with the tip 39 of the rail-like member 16. In the release position P2, as shown in FIG. 11, the second through hole 71 of the stopper member 18 is located at a position overlapping the second portion 56B. Therefore, the support shaft 15 is arranged at a position corresponding to the second portion 56B of the first through hole 56. Therefore, the rib portion 37 of the support shaft 15 is reliably caught on the first edge 57 of the guide member 17. Therefore, even when the operator pulls the support shaft 15 toward the front, the guide member 17 and the stopper member 18 do not fall off from the support shaft 15, and the guide member 17 and the stopper member 18 follow the support shaft 15. do.

As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, when the operator pulls the support shaft 15 further toward the front, the stopper member 18 is moved at the position where the guide member 17 and the stopper member 18 reach the tip 39 of the rail-like member 16. It moves from the release position P2 to the restriction position P1. At this time, as shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, the first contact portion 74 of the stopper member 18 (stopper member main body 67) is released from abutting against the side surface of the rail-like member 16, and the second biasing member 68 The second abutting portion 76 of the stopper member 18 abuts against the guide member 17 by moving upward. At the same time, the first contact portion 74 of the stopper member 18 engages with the tip portion 39 of the rail-like member 16. As a result, the guide member 17 is fixed at a position corresponding to the distal end portion 39 of the rail-like member 16, and is not moved back toward the base portion 14 by the action of the first biasing member 23. At the same time, as shown in FIG. 12, the second through hole 71 of the stopper member 18 moves to a position corresponding to the first portion 56A of the first through hole 56. As a result, the engagement between the rib portion 37 and the first edge 57 of the support shaft 15 is released, and the support shaft 15 is released from the guide member 17 and the stopper member 18.

As shown in FIG. 21, after the stopper member 18 moves to the restriction position P1, the operator can remove the support shaft 15 from the guide member 17 and the stopper member 18 by holding the support shaft 15 with both hands. At this time, it is preferable to hold the support shaft 15 horizontally so that the product 10 does not fall off the support shaft 15. As shown in FIG. 22, the product 10 is replenished from the end 36 side (backward) of the spindle 15 that has been removed from the guide member 17 and the stopper member 18.

As shown in FIG. 23, the operator inserts the support shaft 15 refilled with the product 10 into the first through hole 56 of the guide member 17 and the second through hole 71 of the stopper member 18. When an operator passes the spindle 15 through the first through hole 56 and the second through hole 71, the second edge 58, which is recessed in a substantially conical shape, guides the end 36 of the spindle 15 to the first through hole 56. invite. As a result, even if the spindle 15 is abutted against the second edge 58 due to some misalignment, the end 36 of the spindle 15 will be guided to the inside of the first through hole 56 and the second through hole 71. Ru. At this time, the guide member 17 and the stopper member 18 do not slide relative to the rail-like member 16 because the stopper member 18 is in the restriction position P1. For this reason, the worker should sit at a position in front of the display shelf that is protruding from other products 10, rather than at a position at the back of the display shelf that is buried under other products. The work of attaching the support shaft 15 can be performed.

When an operator inserts the support shaft 15 into the first through hole 56 and the second through hole 71 and causes the guide member 17 and the stopper member 18 to bear the load of the support shaft 15 on which the product 10 is suspended, the stopper member 18 is pushed down and moves from the restriction position P1 to the release position P2. At the same time, the rib portion 37 of the support shaft 15 engages with the slope of the first edge 57, and the vicinity of the end 36 of the support shaft 15 is held by the guide member 17 and the stopper member 18. In this state, the first biasing member 23 operates to draw the guide member 17 and the stopper member 18 together with the support shaft 15 toward the base 14 . As a result, the support shaft 15 is semi-automatically drawn to the back of the display shelf. The stopper member 18 that has been drawn to the inner part is positioned so as to directly face the base 14 by fitting the first frame part 72 inside the enlarged diameter part 33. As a result, the first through hole 56 of the guide member 17 and the second through hole 71 of the stopper member 18 are correctly aligned (directly facing each other) with the hole 13 of the base 14 . In this state, when the operator inserts the support shaft 15 to the back side, the end portion 36 of the support shaft 15 can be smoothly inserted into the hole 13. At that time, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the rib portion 37 is inserted into the entrance portion 31A of the first groove portion 31, and the rib portion 37 is guided by the entrance portion 31A, so that the support shaft 15 is It is inserted into the hole 13 at the correct angle. When the operator continues to push the support shaft 15, the support shaft 15 comes into contact with the bottom 13A of the hole 13, and the rib portion 37 climbs over the ridge 31B in the middle of the first groove 31 and is moved by the ridge 31B. Retained. As a result, as shown in FIG. 25, the spindle 15 is completely inserted into the hole 13, and the work of replenishing the product 10 is completed.

According to this embodiment, the following can be said. The hanging tool 11 includes a base 14 having a hole 13, a support shaft 15 which is configured to be removably attached to the hole 13, and from which the product 10 is suspended, and a support shaft 15 attached to the hole 13. A rail-shaped member 16 extends from the base 14 and is configured to be movable forward and backward on the rail-shaped member 16, and can guide the end 36 of the spindle 15 removed from the hole 13 toward the hole 13. and a guide member 17.

According to this configuration, when the support shaft 15 is attached to the hole 13, the support shaft 15 can be guided toward the hole 13 by the guide member 17. This can reduce the work burden on the worker.

The support shaft 15 includes a first shaft portion, and a second shaft portion that is provided continuously with the first shaft portion near the end portion 36 inserted into the hole portion 13 and has a diameter larger than the diameter of the first shaft portion. The guide member 17 has a first through hole 56 through which the support shaft 15 is passed, and the first through hole 56 has a first portion 56A having a diameter larger than the diameter of the second shaft portion. , a second portion 56B that is provided below the first portion 56A so as to communicate with the first portion 56A, and has a diameter smaller than the diameter of the second shaft portion.

When the support shaft 15 is removed from the hole 13, the remaining product 10 is suspended from the support shaft 15. If no product 10 remains on the support shaft 15, the worker will replenish the product 10 from the front without removing the support shaft 15 from the hole 13. According to this configuration, the support shaft 15, on which the load of the product 10 is applied, moves downward and engages with the peripheral edge of the second portion 56B. Therefore, when the operator removes the support shaft 15 from the hole 13, the guide member 17 can be pulled out together with the support shaft 15 toward the front side. As a result, when the worker inserts the spindle 15 into the hole 13 again after replenishing the spindle 15 with the product 10, the worker inserts the spindle 15 into the hole 13 using the guide member 17 pulled out to the front. This allows the support shaft 15 to be guided up to the hole 13 easily.

The hanging tool 11 includes a first biasing member 23 that is provided between the base 14 and the guide member 17 and biases the guide member 17 in a direction toward the base 14 . According to this configuration, the guide member 17 can be moved toward the base 14. As a result, while the guide member 17 is used to guide the support shaft 15 toward the hole 13, the support shaft 15 can be semi-automatically guided to the hole 13 by driving the first biasing member 23. . This saves the worker the trouble of pushing the support shaft 15, and reduces the burden on the worker.

The hanging tool 11 is a stopper member 18 that is movably attached to the guide member 17 and engages with an engaging portion provided at the tip end 39 of the rail-like member 16 to guide the rail-like member 16. A stopper member 18 is provided that is movable between a restriction position P1 that restricts movement of the member 17 and a release position P2 that allows movement of the guide member 17 relative to the rail-shaped member 16.

When the stopper member 18 moves to the tip of the rail-like member 16, it becomes the regulation position P1 and can regulate the movement of the guide member 17. Therefore, even when the first biasing member 23 is provided, the first biasing member 23 The guide member 17 will not be returned to the base 14 side due to this action. This allows the worker to hook the support shaft 15 to the guide member 17 on the near side, thereby improving the worker's work efficiency.

The stopper member 18 includes a stopper member body 67 that is movable relative to the guide member 17, and a stopper member body 67 that is interposed between the stopper member body 67 and the guide member 17 and urges the stopper member body 67 toward the engaging portion. 2 biasing member 68. According to this configuration, the stopper member 18 can be configured with a simple structure using the second biasing member 68 and the stopper member main body 67. Thereby, the manufacturing cost of the hanging tool 11 can be reduced.

The stopper member 18 has a second through hole 71 through which the support shaft 15 is passed, and the second through hole 71 is arranged at a position overlapping the second portion 56B when the stopper member 18 is in the release position P2. Ru. According to this configuration, the guide member 17 does not fall off from the second shaft portion of the support shaft 15 when the stopper member 18 is in the release position P2. As a result, for example, when pulling out the support shaft 15 from the hole 13 or reinserting the support shaft 15 into the hole 13, the guide member 17 falls off from the support shaft 15, and due to the action of the first biasing member 23, This can prevent a problem in which only the guide member 17 is returned to the vicinity of the base 14.

The engaging portion is the distal end surface of the rail-like member 16. According to this configuration, there is no need to provide a recess or the like in the rail-shaped member 16, and processing costs can be reduced.

The guide member 17 has a first edge 57 that defines the periphery of the first through hole 56 on the surface facing the base 14, and is inclined upward as it moves away from the base 14. It has 57. According to this configuration, when movement is restricted by the action of the stopper member 18, the support shaft 15 can be smoothly guided by the first edge 57 toward the first portion 56A of the first through hole 56. . As a result, the guide member 17 may be damaged if the operator strongly pulls the support shaft 15 without releasing the engagement between the second portion 56B of the first through hole 56 and the second shaft portion of the support shaft 15. It is possible to prevent such problems from occurring.

The hanging tool 11 includes a base 14 having a hole 13, an end 36 that is removably attached to the hole 13, a support shaft 15 from which the product 10 is suspended, and a support shaft 15 that is attached to the hole 13.
