Description

The present invention relates to a holder for holding sheet-like articles in a stacked state.

In supermarkets and convenience stores, it is customary to use shopping bags with a carrier to carry purchased products. Generally, such shopping bags are made of polyvinyl chloride in the form of sheets, and are stored and used at checkout counters in a stack of 100 to 200 bags. In recent years, customers sometimes purchase shopping bags for a fee, and in this case, the shopping bags are sold outside the checkout counter in a stack of 100 to 200 bags supported by fixtures, etc. However, since shopping bags are very thin and the shopping bags stick together due to static electricity, etc., it is difficult for customers who are not used to taking out shopping bags to use one bag at a time. It is difficult to take out shopping bags one by one, and there is a problem in that more plastic bags than the necessary number may be taken out inadvertently.

Therefore, Patent Document 1 discloses a hanging part on which a shopping bag folded in half is suspended, a back wall located on the back side of the suspended shopping bag, and a part that presses the shopping bag from the front side to the back side. A holder is disclosed that includes a long weight member and is adapted to pick up and pull out a shopping bag near a folding point. According to this, the holding power of the stacked shopping bags is increased by being sandwiched between the weight member and the back wall, and it is easier to pick only the outermost shopping bag that slides in contact with the weight member with a small coefficient of friction. It has become.

However, in Patent Document 1, one picked shopping bag is pulled out in a direction along the surface of the overlapping shopping bag and is gradually peeled off from the overlapping shopping bag. The frictional force between them is large, and as a result of this frictional force, there is a possibility that the shopping bag that overlaps inside the bag may be taken out together with the shopping bag that has been picked up.

The present invention has been made in view of these problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a holder that can reliably take out sheet-like articles one by one.

In order to solve the above problems, the holder of the present invention has the following features:
A holder for holding sheet-like articles in a stacked state,
a hanging part from which the sheet-like article is suspended so as to hang back and forth, and a regulating part disposed on the front side of the suspended sheet-like article with an opening on both sides thereof. , having left and right lower plate parts that cover the front hanging part of the sheet-like article from below ,
The opening is characterized in that it is formed continuously in the gap between the left and right lower plate parts .
According to this feature, when a single sheet-like article picked from a bundle of stacked sheet-like articles is regulated by the left and right regulating parts and taken out from the narrow opening, the sheet-like article itself is By deforming to the center side in the width direction and forming a wavy shape, the contact area with the sheet-like article to be polymerized is reduced, and it is easily peeled off from the sheet-like article to be polymerized, so that it can be reliably taken out one by one.

It is characterized by having a back support member which is arranged to extend in the vertical direction and supports the front hanging part of the suspended sheet-like article from the back.
According to this feature, since the back support member supports the back of the sheet-like article, it is easy to pick up one sheet member from a bundle of sheet-like articles.

The back support member is characterized in that it is disposed obliquely downward and forward.
According to this feature, the pick-up direction can be guided diagonally downward to the front where it is easy to peel off the picked item from the polymerized sheet-like article and the peeled state can be easily recognized.

The present invention is characterized in that it includes a restraining member that is disposed on the front side of the sheet-like article and clamps the sheet-like article between it and the back support member.
According to this feature, the holding force of the laminated sheet-like articles is increased by being sandwiched between the holding member and the back support member, and the outermost sheet-like article slides into sliding contact with the holding member with a small coefficient of friction. The items can be easily picked up and taken out.

The pressing member is characterized in that it comes into contact with the front surface of the sheet-like article at one or more contact points.
According to this feature, the frictional force between the holding member and the outermost sheet-like article is reduced, and the outermost sheet-like article can be easily taken out.

The contact point of the restraining member is located above the opening between the restricting parts.
According to this feature, the picked sheet-like article is stretched between each contact portion with the left and right regulating parts and the contact point of the restraining member, thereby preventing deformation of the sheet-like article toward the center in the width direction. You can definitely encourage it.

Both left and right edges of the opening are formed with an inclination that becomes narrower on the lower side.
According to this feature, the latter part of the sheet-like article is guided gradually upward, and the latter half of the sheet-like article can easily overcome the left and right regulating parts, making it easy to complete the removal.

The device is characterized in that it has a mounting metal fitting attached to the wire at the rear of the hanging portion.
According to this feature, the holder can be detachably supported by the lattice-shaped support member made of metal wire rods and erected.

The holder 1 is supported by a supporting member 100 having a shape, and the mounting fittings 9 and 10 are hook-shaped and are each hooked onto a wire rod 101 extending in the horizontal direction of the supporting member 100 from above. Further, a screw 11 is screwed into the lower mounting bracket 10, and by threading the screw 11 below the wire rod 101 after locking the mounting bracket 10 to the wire rod 101, separation from the wire rod 101 is prevented. It can be prevented.

At the upper ends of the vertical bars 5, 5 extending in the left and right vertical directions constituting the base 2, inclined parts 12, 12 extending diagonally downward in the front are formed. 3. These vertical rods 5, 5 and inclined portions 12, 12 are formed by bending metal wire rods.

As shown in FIG. 3(a), the holding part 3 includes the above-mentioned inclined parts 12, 12, a round bar-shaped hanging part 13 that is perpendicular to the upper side of the inclined parts 12, 12, and connects these parts. A horizontal rod portion 14 extending parallel to the portion 13 and connecting the lower sides of the inclined portions 12, 12, vertical rod portions 15, 15 vertically connecting the hanging portions 13 and the horizontal rod portion 14, the inclined portion 12, 12, a horizontal rod portion 14, and a box-shaped body 16 fixed to the vertical rod portions 15, 15.

The box-shaped body 16 includes a back plate portion 17, side plate portions 18, 18 that stand up from both left and right edges of the back plate portion 17, lower plate portions 19, 19 that stand up from the lower edge of the back plate portion 17, and a back plate portion 17. It is configured to include substantially trapezoidal receiving plate portions (regulating portions) 20, 20 formed parallel to the front of the portion 17. A gap 21a is formed between the left and right lower plate portions 19, 19, which partially constitutes an opening 21, which will be described later.

A shopping bag 30 folded in half is suspended from the hanging part 13, and as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the upper part of the shopping bag 30 is vertical at the rear of the hanging part 13. In front of the hanging part 13, the lower part of the shopping bag 30 is placed and supported on the vertical rod parts 15, 15 and the back plate part 17 in an inclined state. These vertical rod portions 15, 15 and the back plate portion 17 constitute a back support member 27 that supports the back side of the shopping bag 30.

The receiving plate portions 20, 20 are formed extending from the lower ends in the longitudinal direction of the left and right side plate portions 18, 18 to the central portion, and are symmetrical with respect to the opening 21 between the left and right receiving plate portions 20, 20. formed into a shape. The lower edges of the left and right receiving plate parts 20, 20 are fixed to the left and right lower plate parts 19, 19, respectively, and the opening 21 is formed continuously in the gap 21a between the lower plate parts 19, 19. There is. Opposing edges of the receiving plate portions 20, 20 have tapers (guide portions) 20a, 20a that gradually slope outward in the left-right direction toward the upper side. In other words, the left and right edges of the opening 21 taper downwardly.

Approximately triangular metal plate pieces 22, 22 having shaft holes 23 are fixed to the inner corners of the bent portions of the upper ends of the vertical rods 5, 5 and the inclined parts 12, 12, respectively. Both ends of the holding member 4 are rotatably supported in the shaft holes 23, 23 of 22, respectively, and the holding member 4 can swing relative to the holding portion 3 about the shaft holes 23, 23, The bending portion 25 of the restraining member 4 moves up and down and back and forth due to the swinging motion. Further, the vertical rods 5, 5 and the lower portions of the inclined portions 12, 12 are connected back and forth by wire rods 24, 24. The restraining member 4 is formed in a substantially U-shape in a plan view, and has a V-shaped bent portion 25 having a tip portion 26 extending downward at the center in the longitudinal direction.

Next, using FIG. 4, a description will be given of the process from the bundle of folded shopping bags 30 held by the holder 1 until the user grabs one shopping bag 30 located at the outermost side. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the shopping bag 30 folded in two is suspended from the hanging part 13, and in front of the hanging part 13, the bottom part 31 of the shopping bag 30 is connected to the lower plate. 19 , 19 , the stacked shopping bags 30 do not have their own load applied to the bottom 31 of the stacked shopping bags 30 , and are easily separated in the front-rear direction. The bottom part 31 of the sheet is easy to pick. In addition, by inserting a finger into the box-like body 16 through the gap 21a between the lower tabs 19, 19, the bottom 31 of the shopping bag 30 can be easily picked.

Moreover, since the back plate part 17 is located on the back side of the lower end of the stacked shopping bags 30, the shopping bags 30 do not escape and are easy to pick up. In addition, since the back side is supported by the vertical rod parts 15, 15 which are inclined diagonally downward to the front and the back plate part 17, that is, the back support member 27, the bundle of bottom parts 31 of the stacked shopping bags 30 can be seen from the front. It is easy to visually recognize and easy to pick the outermost one bottom part 31.

Next, an example of a manner in which the user takes out one shopping bag 30 picked will be described. When the user pulls the outermost shopping bag 30 in a diagonally downward direction, as shown in FIG. Since the shopping bag 30 is regulated by the receiving plates 20, 20 and taken out through the narrow opening 21, the central part of the bottom 31 of the shopping bag 30 is removed from the opening, as shown in FIGS. As the shopping bag 30 is pulled out from the shopping bag 21, the shopping bag 30 itself deforms in a wavy manner toward the center in the width direction.

In this way, the outermost shopping bag 30 itself deforms in a wavy manner, so that it is separated from the adjacent overlapping shopping bags 30, and the contact area is rapidly reduced. In other words, the outermost shopping bag 30 is pulled diagonally forward and downward from the opening 21, moves in a direction along the surface of the adjacent overlapping shopping bag 30, and is gradually peeled off. Due to the deformation of the outer shopping bag 30 itself, it is also peeled off in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which it overlaps with the inner shopping bag 30.

As shown in FIG. 6(a), when the center part of the bottom part 31 of the outermost shopping bag 30 is further pulled out from the opening part 21, it is restricted by the receiving plate parts 20, 20, and the bottom part of the shopping bag 30 is The left and right corners 32, 32 are deformed so as to be rolled up to the back side (see FIG. 6(b), which is an image diagram). As the left and right corners 32, 32 are rolled up to the back side in this way, the contact area with the overlapping shopping bag 30 is greatly reduced.

The outermost shopping bag 30 has a shape that narrows toward the bottom 31 and is pulled forward and diagonally downward, and is guided by the opening 21 that gradually becomes wider upward, so that the receiving plate 20 , 20 with the outermost shopping bag 30 gradually move above the opening 21. As a result, the resistance caused by the receiving plates 20, 20 when pulling out the outermost shopping bag 30 becomes smaller as the pulling operation progresses, so that the shopping bag 30 can be easily pulled out.

Then, as the pulling operation progresses and the contact points of the receiving plates 20, 20 with the outermost shopping bag 30 move to the upper end of the opening 21, the shopping bag 30 is pulled out further, as shown in FIG. is guided by the opening 21 (the taper 20a, 20a of the receiving plate parts 20, 20) which gradually becomes wider upward, and passes over the upper sides of the left and right receiving plate parts 20, 20. In this way, the shopping bag 30 is pulled out by climbing over the upper sides of the receiving plate parts 20, 20 during the pulling operation, and after getting over the receiving plate parts 20, 20, it is subjected to resistance by the receiving plate parts 20, 20. Therefore, taking out the shopping bag 30 can be completed easily. Also, by getting over the upper sides of the receiving plate parts 20, 20, the outermost shopping bag 30 and the overlapping shopping bag 30 are separated from each other with the receiving plate parts 20, 20 in between. The shopping bag 30 can be pulled out, and only the outermost one can be reliably separated from the other shopping bags 30 held and taken out.

Although it depends on the direction in which the shopping bag 30 is pulled out, after the bottom part 31 with the left and right corners 32, 32 rolled up on the back side is all out of the opening 21, the part above the bottom part 31 is pulled out from the left and right sides. It is designed to go over the upper sides of the receiving plate parts 20, 20. According to this, in the initial stage of the pull-out operation, the receiving plates 20, 20 reliably partially separate the outermost shopping bag 30 and the overlapping shopping bag 30, thereby creating a trigger. After that, the receiving plate parts 20, 20 directly interfere between the outermost shopping bag 30 and the shopping bags 30 that are overlapped adjacent to each other to advance the peeling, thereby ensuring that only the outermost one is removed. It can be separated from other shopping bags 30 held and taken out.

As described above, in the holder 1 of the present invention, the picked outermost shopping bag 30 is taken out from the narrow opening 21 with its front side being regulated by the left and right receiving plates 20, 20. As a result, the shopping bag 30 itself deforms toward the center in the width direction and becomes wavy, which reduces the contact area with the overlapping shopping bag 30 and makes it easier to peel off from the overlapping shopping bag 30. You can reliably take out each piece one by one.

In addition, since the back support member 27 is disposed obliquely diagonally downward in the front direction, the visual effect guides the direction in which the outermost shopping bag 30 is taken out to the front diagonally downward direction where it is easy to peel off from the overlapping shopping bag 30. can do.

In addition, the holding force of the stacked shopping bags 30 is increased by being sandwiched between the restraining member 4 and the back support member 27, and only the outermost shopping bag 30 makes sliding contact with the restraining member 4 with a small coefficient of friction. can be easily taken out.

In addition, since the restraining member 4 is configured to abut against the front surface of the shopping bag at one contact point at the tip, the frictional force between the restraining member 4 and the outermost shopping bag 30 is reduced and it is easy to take out the shopping bag.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 5(a), the contact point of the holding member 4 with the outermost shopping bag 30 is located above the opening 21 between the receiving plate parts 20, 20. , the outermost shopping bag 30 which has been picked up is stretched between each contact portion with the left and right receiving plate portions 20, 20 and the tip portion 26 which is the contact point of the holding member 4, and the outermost shopping bag 30 The portions regulated by the left and right receiving plate portions 20, 20 become mountains, and the portions suppressed by the restraining member 4 are guided and deformed into valleys, so that the center of the outermost shopping bag 30 in the width direction It is possible to reliably promote lateral deformation.

Furthermore, since the gap between the lower plate parts 19 and the opening 21 between the receiving plate parts 20 and 20 are continuous, it is easy to pick the bottom part 31 of the shopping bag 30.

In addition, since the hanging part 13 is shaped like a round bar and has a rounded upper part, the stacked shopping bags 30 are hung down along the round shape of the hanging part 13, so that the stacked state is uniform. In addition to being able to keep the shopping bag 30 clean, there is little frictional resistance, and it is easy to take out every last shopping bag 30.

Further, the holder 1 has a base 2 extending in the vertical direction and a holder 3 extending obliquely forward and downward from the upper part of the base 2, and the shopping bag 30 is supported by the hanging part 13, and the shopping bag 30 is In this case, flip up the restraining member 4 and turn the upper half of the stacked shopping bags 30 to the rear of the hanging part 13 so that it is supported by the hanging part 13, and then lift the bottom part 31 of the shopping bag 30. It is inserted between the receiving plates 20, 20 and the back plate 17 of the box-like body 16, and the pressing member 4 is rotated downward to complete replenishment. In this way, since the shopping bag 30 is configured to be folded in two when replenishing, the bundle of stacked shopping bags is prevented from coming apart when replenishing the stacked bag in a state of being folded in half, and replenishment is facilitated. be able to.

Further, the holder 1 is configured to hold the upper half and lower half of the shopping bag 30 folded in half apart from each other by the base 2 and the holder 3 extending diagonally downward in the front direction, so that the upper half and the lower half of the shopping bag 30 are held apart from each other. Additional shopping bags can be easily replenished inside the innermost shopping bag 30, and rapid replenishment is possible.

In addition, since the holding section 3 is configured with a box-like body 16 having side plate sections 18, 18 at the lower part, movement of the held shopping bag 30 in the left and right direction is restricted by the side plate sections 18, 18. This makes it easy to take out the work. In addition, since the box-like body 16 has lower plate parts 19, 19, it prevents the held shopping bag 30 from falling off and serves as a guide for positioning the shopping bag 30 when replenishing, simplifying the replenishment work. Can be done.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and any changes or additions that do not depart from the gist of the present invention are included in the present invention. It will be done.

For example, in the embodiment described above, the base 2 of the holder 1 was formed from a metal wire rod, and the holder 3 was formed from a metal wire rod and a metal flat plate, but the present invention is not limited to this. It may be made of any material including. For example, instead of being a flat metal plate, the regulating part may have a substantially trapezoidal shape similar to the outer shape of the receiving plate part 20 and may be formed with a frame structure of a metal wire.

Further, the restraining member 4 in the above embodiment is formed with a V-shaped bent part 25 having a tip end 26 downward at the center in the longitudinal direction, but the present invention is not limited to this. A configuration may also be adopted in which a plurality of linear protrusions are formed and the tips of the protrusions on a plurality of lines come into contact with the shopping bag 30.

Further, in the above embodiment, the opposing edges of the receiving plate parts 20, 20 have tapers 20a, 20a that gradually incline outward in the left-right direction toward the top, so that the upper sides of the tapers 20a, 20a As the point of contact with the shopping bag 30 moves, the effect of reducing the resistance in the operation of taking out the shopping bag 30 can be obtained. However, the structure is not limited to this, and for example, the opposite edges of the receiving plate parts 20, 20 may be formed in parallel. Even with this configuration, the effect of deforming inward in the width direction when the picked outermost shopping bag 30 is taken out from the opening 21 can be achieved.

Furthermore, in the embodiment described above, the shopping bag 30 is held by the holder 1 with the bottom part 31 located on the holding part 3 side, but the present invention is not limited to this. In this case, the upper end of the shopping bag 30 is taken out from the opening 21 while being regulated by the receiving plates 20, 20.

Further, in the embodiment described above, the holder 1 maintains the holding position by the restraining member 4 that restrains the shopping bag 30 by its own weight, but the restraining member 4 is not limited to this, and the restraining member 4 may be attached with a spring or the like. The shopping bag 30 may be held down by force means.

In addition, when used to hold a shopping bag having a through-hole for hanging, etc., the holding position of the shopping bag may be maintained by a locking part inserted through the through-hole for hanging. . In this case, one shopping bag is taken out from the bundle of shopping bags by tearing the perforation near the through hole of the picked shopping bag or by tearing the vicinity of the through hole. Even in this case, the outermost shopping bag that has been picked deforms when it is removed from the opening, reducing the contact area with the polymerized shopping bag and peeling them off in a direction perpendicular to the opposing surface. As a result, the above-mentioned effect of making it easier to take out only one shopping bag can be achieved.

Further, in this embodiment, the holder 1 is used to hold the shopping bag 30, but the holding device 1 is not limited to this, and may be a sheet-like article, such as a wrapping paper or a film that is not bag-like. Good too.
