Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to sample cans displayed on a sample display shelf of a vending machine.

<Prior art> Conventionally, sample display shelves of vending machines for soft drinks, coffee, etc., display samples of actual metal cans (hereinafter referred to as actual cans) with no contents, or Instead of cans, they displayed specially made samples with the same characters and patterns as the real cans printed on their surfaces using enamel printing.

<Problems to be solved by the present invention> However, for economical reasons, expensive printing that does not fade over a long period of time cannot be done on actual cans. If the cans are installed in the surrounding area, the display printed on the outer wall of the can will change color and fade in a short period of time due to the influence of sunlight, etc., which will kill the desire to purchase the can. For this reason, the sample cans had to be replaced in a short period of time, and it was extremely troublesome for staff to perform this replacement work one after another at a huge number of vending machines.

Additionally, using special enamel printed samples that do not easily discolor or fade in place of actual cans would be very expensive, and it would be almost impossible to display them in each of the huge number of vending machines. .

The present invention aims to solve these problems and provide a sample can for vending machines that does not need to be replaced for a long period of time and can be produced at an extremely low cost.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The sample can for vending machines of the present invention has a vertical length that is approximately equal to the distance between the upper and lower peripheral edges of the sample can body, and a horizontal length that is at least as close as possible to the outside of the vending machine. A display identical to the characters, patterns, etc. in the visible range of the actual can is displayed on at least the visible range of the surface of the rectangular flexible sheet body that is longer than the length in the circumferential direction of the sample can in the visible range of the actual can. A printing layer that has low discoloration and fading properties and that flexes as the sheet body is bent is applied, a silver vapor deposited layer is formed on the back surface of the sheet body, and a silver vapor deposition layer is formed on one or both lateral ends of the back surface. A display sheet in which an adhesive coating layer is provided in a strip shape in the vertical direction and a release paper is coated on the surface of the adhesive coating layer is attached to the upper peripheral edge of the outer peripheral wall of a cylindrical sample can body for a vending machine. and a lower peripheral edge portion thereof, and an adhesive coating layer is adhesively attached to the outer peripheral wall or the end surface of the display sheet.

<Example> An example of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

1 and 2 show a display sheet 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a flexible rectangular sheet body 1 made of polyester film, and its vertical length is as shown in FIG.
The distance between the upper peripheral edge 20b and the lower peripheral edge 20c of the outer peripheral wall 20a is approximately the same. In addition, the horizontal length of the seat body 1 is at least the length in the circumferential direction of the visible range so as to cover the visible range from the outside of the vending machine. In the embodiment, the outer peripheral wall 20
It is slightly smaller than the circumference of a.

A silver vapor deposition layer 2 is formed on the back surface of the sheet body 1 in order to ensure heat resistance and strength.

This silver vapor deposition layer 2 allows the printing layer to be described later on the surface of the sheet body 1 to be clearly visible from the outside by reflecting light, and also allows the marking to be displayed when attached to a can that already has the marking. This is effective in preventing the appearance of the printed layer from being deteriorated by being seen through the sheet 10 from above.

The surface of the sheet body 1 has a display similar to the letters, patterns, etc. on at least the visible range of the outer peripheral wall of an actual can, has low discoloration and fading resistance, and is flexible as the sheet body 10 is bent. A printed layer 3 is formed. This printing layer 3 is formed by an appropriate method such as screen printing, gravure printing, or offset printing.

On both sides of the back side of the silver vapor deposited layer 2 in the horizontal direction, there is a band-shaped adhesive coating layer 4 having a predetermined width over the entire length in the vertical direction.
a, 4b are formed. adhesive coating layer 4a,
4b is covered with release papers 5a and 5b, respectively.

As shown in FIG.
The display sheet 1 is pressed against the outer peripheral wall 20a of the display sheet 1 from the upper peripheral edge 20b and the lower peripheral edge 20c.
After the upper and lower ends of the display sheet 10 are wrapped so that they do not protrude, the release papers 5a and 5b at both ends are peeled off and the adhesive coating layers 4a and 4b are applied to the outer peripheral wall of the sample can body 20 at both ends of the display sheet 10. Glued to 20a,
In this way, a sample can according to the present invention is formed.

As described above, the display sheet 10 is pressed and wrapped around the outer peripheral wall 20a of the sample can body 20 at the part other than the adhesive part and aligned correctly, and then both ends are glued, so there is no possibility of misalignment during this attachment. Furthermore, the display sheet 10 does not wrinkle or air bubbles form between the display sheet 10 and the outer peripheral wall 20a, and the display sheet 10 can be easily and accurately pasted. , a good sample can 30 with a pattern etc. that does not discolor for a long period of time can be obtained.

The sample can body 20 to which this display sheet 10 is attached may be an actual can, or may have a different display such as letters or patterns on the peripheral wall as long as it is the same size and shape as the actual can. Plain colored ones are also acceptable.

The sample can with the display sheet 10 attached to the outer peripheral wall of the sample can body 20 in this manner is displayed on a display shelf of a vending machine with the printed portion oriented so that it can be viewed from the outside.

Further, since the silver vapor deposited layer 2 is provided on the back side of the display sheet 10, the printed layer 3 on the front surface can be seen brightly and vividly due to the external light reflected by the silver vapor deposited layer 2, which promotes the sales effect. Furthermore, even if letters, patterns, etc. are applied to the outer peripheral wall of the sample can body 20, since the silver vapor deposition layer 2 prevents the transmission of light, the display of the letters, patterns, etc. on the sample can body 20 itself may show through ( The printed layer 3 of the display sheet 10 is prevented from being visible from the outside.
The appearance of the product will not deteriorate.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the sample can according to the present invention, in which the horizontal length of the display sheet 10' is set larger than the circumference of the outer peripheral wall 20a of the sample can body 20, and the adhesive The agent coating layer 4b' is formed only on one end side in the lateral direction.

Therefore, as shown in FIG.
An adhesive coating layer 4 is applied to the outer peripheral wall 20a of the sample can body 20.
The adhesive coated layer 4b' at the other end may be attached to the surface of the overlapping end of the display sheet 10' by wrapping it from the end opposite to b' and peeling off the release paper 5b'.

<Effects of the invention> Since the sample can for vending machines of the invention is constructed as described above, (a) the display on the display sheet does not change color or fade over a long period of time, so it cannot be used as frequently as when displaying actual cans; There is no need to replace it, and it can be displayed for a long time.

(b) Furthermore, since the display sheet 10, which is an extremely inexpensive display sheet 10 that is simply printed and silver-deposited on a single thin sheet main body 1, is attached to the sample can body 20, an expensive dedicated sample printed with enamel is not used. It is significantly cheaper than using
