Description

The present invention relates to a hanging display board for displaying items using hooks as holders on one side of the display surface.

Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 9, a flat display board 100 has been used in which hooks F are attached so as to protrude from one side of the display surface 100a.

Patent Document 1 also discloses an item display board with a single score line formed. In Patent Document 1, the board is folded along the score line and packed into multiple boxes for transportation.

Utility Model Registration No. 3170731

Conventionally, the board 100 was transported to the sales floor without being folded (Figure 9). Therefore, it was necessary to use a large storage box H for storing the flat board 100. This resulted in high material costs for the storage box H, and the number of storage boxes H that could be transported in one trip (transport volume) was small, resulting in high transportation costs.

Conventionally, the flat board 100 is transported to the sales floor together with the hooks F and the items N, but to reduce the work at the sales floor, the board 100 is transported with the hooks F attached to it. Here, in Patent Document 1, although the size of the board can be reduced by folding the board, in order to box up multiple boards, the board is folded without the hooks attached and stored in a storage box. For this reason, in Patent Document 1, the board is transported without the hooks attached, which requires the work of attaching the hooks to the board at the sales floor.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned matters, and its object is to provide a hanging type item display board for displaying items using hooks on one display surface, which can reduce the cost of transporting the board with the hooks attached.

The hanging type item display board of the present invention is a hanging type item display board for displaying items by hanging them from a display surface on one side using hooks protruding from the display surface , and includes a first plate portion, and a second plate portion and a third plate portion connected to the first plate portion via a fold line so as to sandwich the first plate portion therebetween, the second plate portion and the third plate portion being bendable toward the display surface relative to the first plate portion so that they face each other , and at least one hook is attached to the second plate portion and the third plate portion .

Preferably, the fold line is a half-cut cut line provided on the surface opposite the display surface.

Preferably, the height of the hook protruding from the display surface is approximately equal to the distance between the second and third plate portions when they face each other.

Preferably , with the second plate portion and the third plate portion facing each other, the hook provided on the second plate portion and the hook provided on the third plate portion are arranged parallel to each other with a gap between them.

Preferably, the attachment positions of the hooks on the second plate portion and the third plate portion are set so as to satisfy the following conditions 1 and 2.
Condition 1: When the second plate portion and the third plate portion are not bent, one of the mounting positions of the second plate portion and the second mounting position of the third plate portion exist on the same straight line that is perpendicular to both the first fold line between the first plate portion and the second plate portion and the second fold line between the first plate portion and the third plate portion.
Condition 2: The distance between the first attachment position and the first fold line is different from the distance between the second attachment position and the second fold line.

According to the hanging type item display board of the present invention, by bending the second and third plate parts so that they face each other with respect to the first plate part, the size of the display board can be reduced, so that the size of the storage box can be kept small, thereby reducing the cost of transporting the display board.

Moreover, by bending the second and third plate parts, a space is created between the second and third plate parts. When the hook is attached to the hanging type article display board, the hook can be placed in the space. Therefore, since the hook is protected by the second and third plate parts in the storage box, when the storage box comes into contact with something and receives external pressure during transportation, the external pressure does not directly act on the hook , but is softened by the second and third plate parts. Therefore, damage to the hook can be suppressed. Furthermore, when the storage box contains articles to be displayed on the hanging type article display board, the articles can be placed in the space between the second and third plate parts, so that the articles can also be protected by the second and third plate parts in the storage box.

The following describes an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the attached drawings.

The item display board 1 (Figs. 1 to 3) according to this embodiment displays items N (Fig. 6) on one display surface 1a using hooks F as holders (hereinafter, item display board 1 will be abbreviated to "board 1").

As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the item display board 1 is a laminate of, but is not limited to, a first sheet material S1, a second sheet material S2, and a third sheet material S3. The first sheet material S1 constitutes the display surface 1a. The second sheet material S2 is disposed between the first sheet material S1 and the third sheet material S3. The third sheet material S3 constitutes the surface 1b opposite the display surface 1a.

The first sheet material S1 and the third sheet material S3 are made of, for example, coated cardboard, although there is no limitation on the material. The second sheet material S2 is made of, for example, pulp blocks or cardboard with a corrugated cross section, although there is no limitation on the material. The cardboard with a corrugated cross section may be the same as that conventionally used as the core of cardboard.

As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the item display board 1 includes a first plate portion 10, a second plate portion 11, and a third plate portion 12. The second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12 are connected to the first plate portion 10 via a first fold line G1 and a second fold line G2 so as to sandwich the first plate portion 10.

The first fold line G1 and the second fold line G2 extend parallel to the width direction of the item display board 1 and reach both side edges of the board 1. The first plate portion 10, the second plate portion 11, and the third plate portion 12 each have a rectangular shape, although they are not particularly limited to such a shape.

The first fold line G1 and the second fold line G2 are preferably configured as half-cut cut lines provided on the surface 1b opposite the display surface 1a (Figs. 3 and 4). The half-cut cut lines are formed by cutting the sheet materials S2 and S3 other than the first sheet material S1 that constitutes the display surface 1a. As shown in Fig. 5, the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12 can be folded toward the display surface 1a side with respect to the first plate portion 10 by the first fold line G1 and the second fold line G2 so that they face each other.

Because the first fold line G1 and the second fold line G2 are half-cut cut lines, the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12 can be smoothly folded relative to the first plate portion 10. Furthermore, the strength of the first fold line G1 and the second fold line G2 against bending and pulling of the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12 relative to the first plate portion 10 can be ensured, making it difficult for the item display board 1 to break at the first fold line G1 and the second fold line G2.

The first fold line G1 and the second fold line G2 may be formed by conventionally known fold lines such as perforations, pressed creases, and lead creases, in addition to half-cut cut lines.

The second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12 are formed with through holes 20 for removably attaching the hooks F (Figs. 1, 3, and 4). One end of the hooks F is provided with a pair of claws 2a, 2b. The hooks F are attached to the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12 by inserting the claws 2a, 2b into the through holes 20 so that the hooks F protrude from the display surface 1a.

The height P (Figs. 4 and 5) of the hook F protruding from the display surface 1a is preferably approximately equal to the distance K between the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12 when the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12 face each other. "The height P of the hook F is approximately equal to the distance K" means that the height P of the hook F is 95% or more and 105% or less of the distance K when the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12 face each other in parallel.

The multiple hooks F attached to the item display board 1 are arranged so that the hooks F on the second plate portion 11 and the hooks F on the third plate portion 12 are parallel and spaced apart when the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12 face each other.

For example, the attachment positions (positions of the through holes 20) of the hooks F on the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12 are set so as to satisfy the following conditions 1 and 2. As a result, when one hook F attached to the second plate portion 11 and a second hook F attached to the third plate portion 12 are arranged on the same straight line T as shown in FIG. 2, and the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12 are placed facing each other, the multiple hooks F do not interfere with each other.

Condition 1: When the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12 are not bent (the state shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 ), the attachment position of one hook F of the second plate portion 11 (the position of the first through hole 20) and the attachment position of the second hook F of the third plate portion 12 (the position of the second through hole 20) are on the same straight line T that is perpendicular to the first fold line G1 and the second fold line G2.
Condition 2: The distance R between the attachment position of the first hook F (the position of the first through hole 20) and the first fold line G1 is different from the distance U between the attachment position of the second hook F (the position of the second through hole 20) and the second fold line G2.

For example, through hole 20a and through hole 20b satisfy condition 1 by existing on the same straight line T. Furthermore, through hole 20a and through hole 20b also satisfy condition 2 by having a different distance R1 between through hole 20a and the first fold line G1 and a different distance U1 between through hole 20b and the second fold line G2.

When the above condition 1 is satisfied, as shown in FIG. 2, one hook F attached to the second plate portion 11 and a second hook F attached to the third plate portion 12 are arranged on the same straight line T.

When the above condition 2 is satisfied, as shown in FIG. 5, the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12 face each other, and the hook F provided on the second plate portion 11 and the hook F provided on the third plate portion 12 are arranged parallel to each other with a distance M between them.

In this embodiment, four through holes 20 are formed in each of the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12, and four hooks F are attached to each of the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12. However, the number of hooks F attached to each of the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12 may be any number greater than or equal to one, and the number of through holes 20 formed in each of the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12 may also be any number greater than or equal to one. In addition, the hooks F may be detachably attached to the item display board 1 by means other than the through holes 20.

As shown in Figures 1 and 2, a pair of through holes 30, 30 are formed at the end of the item display board 1. A string 31 for hanging the item display board 1 is passed through the through holes 30, 30. In the illustrated example, the through holes 30, 30 are formed at the end of the second plate portion 11 opposite the first plate portion 10, but the through holes 30, 30 may also be formed at the end of the third plate portion 12 opposite the first plate portion 10.

Next, the procedure for storing the item display board 1 according to this embodiment in the storage box H will be described. When the item display board 1 is transported to the sales floor, the hooks F and the items N are stored in the storage box H together with the item display board 1. In addition, in order to reduce the labor required at the sales floor, the item display board 1 is stored in the storage box H with the hooks F attached. For this reason, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, first, the hooks F are attached to the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12 of the item display board 1. Then, as shown in Fig. 5, the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12 are folded toward the display surface 1a side with respect to the first plate portion 10 so that they face each other. As a result, each hook F is arranged in the space between the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12, and the hooks F attached to the second plate portion 11 protrude toward the third plate portion 12, and the hooks F attached to the third plate portion 12 protrude toward the second plate portion 11. Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the item display board 1 with the hooks F in the folded state is placed in a storage box H, and the item N is then placed in the space between the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12. If the item N is a liquid container that may leak if it is laid down on its side, for example, an inner box J (FIG. 6) is placed in the space between the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12, and the item N (liquid container) is placed upright in the inner box J to prevent leakage. The item display board 1 is transported to the sales floor while being stored in the storage box H in this manner. Note that the storage box H and inner box J can be, for example, a cardboard box.

At the sales floor, the item display board 1 is taken out of the storage box H, spread out, and hung by strings 31. Then, items N are hung from each of the hooks F, so that the items N are displayed.

To reduce the effort required to hang the items N at the sales floor, the item display board 1 may be folded with the items N hanging from the hooks F and stored in a storage box H for transport to the sales floor.

As described above, according to the item display board 1 of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the size can be reduced by bending the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12 so that they face each other relative to the first plate portion 10. This allows the size of the storage box H to be kept small. This reduces the cost of transporting the item display board 1. In other words, the material cost of the storage box H can be kept low, and the number of storage boxes H that can be transported in one transport (transportation volume) can be increased.

In addition, by bending the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12, a space is created between the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12. When the item display board 1 with the hook F attached is stored in the storage box H, the hook F protruding from the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12 can be placed in the above-mentioned space. Therefore, since the hook F is protected by the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12 in the storage box H, when the storage box H comes into contact with something and receives external pressure during transportation, the external pressure does not act directly on the hook F, but is softened by the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12. Therefore, damage to the hook F can be suppressed. Furthermore, when the storage box H also stores the item N to be displayed on the item display board 1, the item N can be placed in the space between the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12, so the item N can also be stored in the storage box H while being protected by the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12.

As shown in FIG. 5, the hook F attached to the second plate portion 11 and the hook F attached to the third plate portion 12 are arranged with a distance M between them, with the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12 facing each other. This allows the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12 to be bent smoothly without the hooks F, F coming into contact with each other.

In addition, because the height P of the hook F is approximately equal to the distance K between the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12, the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12 are approximately parallel in the folded state, and the space between the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12 is stably maintained by the hook F. This allows the item N to be well protected in the space between the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12.

As shown in FIG. 2, one hook F attached to the second plate portion 11 and a second hook F attached to the third plate portion 12 are arranged on the same straight line T. Therefore, one item N hung from the first hook F and a second item N hung from the second hook F can be displayed on the same straight line T.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

For example, the height P (FIGS. 4 and 5) of the hook F protruding from the display surface 1a may not be substantially equal to the distance K between the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12 (i.e., the height P of the hook F may be less than 95% of the distance K, or may be greater than 105% of the distance K). For example, the lower limit may be 50% or more, or 80% or more. The upper limit may be 120% or less, or 110% or less.

The attachment position of the hook F is not particularly limited as long as the hook F on the second plate portion 11 and the hook F on the third plate portion 12 are arranged parallel to each other with a gap between them when the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12 face each other. For example, the above-mentioned condition 1 may be satisfied but condition 2 may not be satisfied. In other words, the attachment position of the first hook F on the second plate portion 11 and the attachment position of the second hook F on the third plate portion 12 may be on the same straight line T, and the distance R between the attachment position of the first hook F and the distance U between the attachment position of the second hook F may be the same. In this case, the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12 are bent with the hook F attached to only one of the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12. In this way, the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12 can be bent without the hooks F coming into contact with each other.

Also, by not satisfying the above-mentioned condition 1, that is, by making the attachment position of the first hook F of the second plate portion 11 and the attachment position of the second hook F of the third plate portion 12 not lie on the same straight line T, the hook F on the second plate portion 11 and the hook F on the third plate portion 12 may be arranged parallel to each other with a gap between them, with the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12 facing each other.

Also, at least one hook F may be attached to only one of the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12.

At least one hook F may be attached to each of the first plate portion 10, the second plate portion 11, and the third plate portion 12. Even in this case, the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12 can be folded without the hooks F, F coming into contact with each other by adjusting the attachment position of the hook F or by selecting the position at which the hook F is attached when folding the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12.

Even in the case of the modified example for displaying items described above, if the hook F is attached to one or both of the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12 and the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12 are bent, the hook F will protrude from one of the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12 toward the other. This allows the space between the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12 to be maintained by the hook F, so that the item N placed in the space between the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12 can be protected.

At least one hook F may be attached only to the first plate portion 10. Even in this modification, the size of the item display board 1 can be reduced by bending the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12, and the hook F can be placed between the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12. When attaching the hook F to the first plate portion 10, the height P of the hook F is set to be equal to or less than the length of the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12, so that the hook F does not extend beyond the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12.

The hook F may also be attached to the board 1 by fixing the hook F to the board 1 in an undetachable manner.

The item display board 1 does not have to be made up of the three sheet materials S1, S2, and S3, but may be made up of a laminate of multiple sheet materials other than the three. In this modified example, for example, the first fold line G1 and the second fold line G2 are formed by cutting the sheet materials other than the sheet material that constitutes the display surface 1a, so that the first fold line G1 and the second fold line G2 are half-cut cut lines provided on the surface 1b opposite the display surface 1a.

The item display board 1 may also be constructed from a single sheet material having a display surface 1a and an opposite surface 1b. In this modification, the first fold line G1 and the second fold line G2 are formed by cutting the surface 1b opposite the display surface 1a of the single sheet material, so that the first fold line G1 and the second fold line G2 are half-cut cut lines.

The direction in which the first fold line G1 and the second fold line G2 extend, the shapes of the first plate portion 10, the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12, and the shape of the item display board 1 can be set arbitrarily as long as a space in which the hook F can be placed between the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12 can be formed by bending the second plate portion 11 and the third plate portion 12.

Furthermore, the item display board 1 may have fold lines other than the first fold line G1 and the second fold line G2. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the board 1 may further include a fourth plate portion 16 connected to the third plate portion 12 via the third fold line G3. In this case, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, the item display board 1 can be folded into a rectangular shape along the first fold line G1, the second fold line G2, and the third fold line G3, and an item N can be placed inside the item display board 1. In this modified example, the item N is surrounded by the item display board 1, so that the movement of the item N can be restricted. Therefore, the item display board 1 can provide good protection for the item N.
