Abstract

PURPOSE:To emit light by a display article itself and a display board behind it and to improve customer gathering ability by providing a display article which is molded of a light-transmissive material and has a display printed layer on the surface and the display board which is made of a light-transmissive member and has a print layer at part of the surface. CONSTITUTION:A display article fitting base 10 is provided in the article display device, a light source 11 is provided in the display article fitting base 10, and the display article 8 is formed of a light-transmissive material on the top surface of the display article fitting base 10 and has the display print layer on the surface. Further, the light-transmissive display board 13 has a display print layer 13b at part of the surface and a slanting surface photodetection part 16 in the article display fitting base and is coupled with the display article fitting base 10. A reflecting surface 17 which guides the light source 11 to the photodetection part 16 on the display board 13 is also provided. Consequently, the entire surface of the display article 8 emits light and the display board 13 reflects light irregularly by the display print layer 13b, so the logotype formed of the print layer 13b provided at part of the surface of the display article 8 and display board becomes conspicuous to improve the display effect.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a product display device for a vending machine.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In recent years, as vending machines have become larger, the types of products for sale have also increased, and the products on display have also become more diverse, making it difficult to distinguish between the products on display.

Therefore, it has become important to make displayed products easier to distinguish and to make them stand out in the promotion of product sales.

A conventional product display device for a vending machine will be described below with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.

In the figure, 1 is the main body of the vending machine, and 2 is the main body 1.
The door is located at the front of the door and is rotatably supported on one side by a hinge 3. A product exhibition room 4 is provided on the front side of the door 2 and has a see-through window 2C consisting of an opening 2a and a protection plate 2b formed of a see-through member. A middle door 6 is provided behind the door 2.

A display product mounting plate 7 is provided on the surface side of the inner door 6 and located inside the product display room 4.

8 is an exhibited product made of transparent synthetic resin and has a printed display pasted on its surface. Reference numeral 1o denotes a display product mounting base, which has a communication hole 9 between it and the display product 8, has an inner surface painted white, and is fixed to the display product mounting plate 7. Further, the display products 8 are arranged on the entire lower side of the product display room 4, and are fixed to the display product mounting base 1o. Reference numeral 11 denotes a light source, which is built into the display product mounting base 1o. 12
is a display board located on the rear surface of the display product 8 and fixed to the display product mounting plate 7.

The operation of the vending machine product display device configured as described above will be described below.

The exhibited product 8 receives reflected light and projected light from a light source 11 built into a product mount 10 and emits light. At the same time, the display panel 12 is also brightly illuminated by the reflected light and the projected light from the light source 11.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with the above configuration, when the exhibited products emit light, the entire display board located at the rear is also illuminated brightly, making it difficult for designs such as logos on the display board to stand out. I had an issue.

In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a product display device for a vending machine that makes displayed products and a design such as a logo on a rear display board stand out by emitting light at night.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the product display device for a vending machine of the present invention includes a display product mounting base provided in the product display device, and a light source provided inside the display product mounting base. and an exhibition product formed of a translucent material on the upper surface of the exhibition product mounting base and having a display printing layer on the surface, and connected to this exhibition product mounting base,
Equipped with a display board made of a translucent material that has a display printing layer on a part of its surface and a light-receiving part on an inclined surface in the inside part of the display product mount, and a reflector plate that guides the light from the light source to the light-receiving part of the display board. It is something that

According to the above-described structure of the present invention, the display product receives the projected light from the light source from below and the reflected light from the light source from the inner surface of the display product mounting base, and the entire surface of the display product emits light.

In addition, in the display board made of a translucent material fixed to the display product mounting base, the light reflected by the reflector is guided to the light receiving part on the inclined surface, diffusely reflected by the display printing layer provided on a part of the surface, and emits light. For,
Designs such as logos created by printed layers on display products and a part of the surface of the display board improve the eye-catching display effect and contribute to increasing customers' desire to purchase.

EXAMPLE Below, a product display device for a vending machine according to an embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIGS. Omitted.

In the figure, reference numeral 13 denotes a display plate made of a translucent member, which is fixed to the product mounting base 10. 13b is a printed layer provided on a part of the surface of the display board. The inside of the product mounting base of the display board is a light receiving section 16 on an inclined surface. 17 is a reflector and light source 1
It is fixed in the direction in which the light of 1 is guided to the light receiving section 16.

The operation of the vending machine product display device configured as described above will be described below.

Exhibition product 8 has a light source 110 projecting light, and display product mounting stand 1
The light reflected from the light source 11 by the inner surface of the light source 11 is reflected by the plate 17, and the light is guided to the light receiving section 16 on the inclined surface. The light guided into the display board 13 is diffusely reflected by the printed layer provided on a part of the surface of the display board 13b, causing only the printed layer to shine brightly.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention provides an exhibition product molded from a translucent material and having a display printing layer on the surface, a communication hole in the lower part, a built-in light source, and an inner surface painted white. A display product mount is fixed to the rear surface of the display product on the display product mount, and a translucent device is provided with a printing layer on a part of the surface where the projected light and reflected light from the light source enter from the light receiving part of the inclined surface. A member display board,
Due to the structure of the reflector, the exhibited products themselves and the printed layer of the display board on the rear side emit light, increasing the ability to attract customers. Furthermore, it has the following effects.

(1) With respect to guiding light to the display board, by having the light-receiving portion with the inclined surface, the light-receiving area can be increased, so that the printed layer of the display board, which receives a lot of incident light, can be made to emit bright light.

(2) By providing a reflective plate for guiding the light from the light source, the light can be reliably guided to the light receiving section, and the printed layer of the display board can be made to emit bright light.
