Abstract

PURPOSE:To make the emission of the light of a merchandise sample more bright and more conspicuous, and to make the merchandise sample distinguishing from surroundings and attractive, and to improve exhibition effect by coloring a back board installed behind a merchandise sample rack, and making it dark. CONSTITUTION:Light emitted from a light source 6 passes through a communicating hole 9, and makes the merchandise sample 4 luminous on one side, and on the other side, it passes through a projection window, and the colored light after passing through a translucent colored member is projected on the back board 7 so as to be darken it. Accordingly, since the colored light is projected on the back board installed behind the merchandise sample rack and the back board is made dark, the merchandise sample is made more bright and more conspicuous. Thus, a merchandise exhibiting device capable of making the merchandise sample bright and distinguishing from the surroundings can be obtained.

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 variety of products on sale has also increased, and product samples have also become more diverse. Therefore, making product samples easier to distinguish and making them stand out has become important in promoting product sales.

A conventional product display device for a vending machine will be described below with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

In the figure, 1 is the main body of the vending machine, and 2 is a door located at the front of the main body 1. 3 is a product display room installed inside the door 2; 4 is a product sample formed from a translucent material such as acrinole resin located inside the product display room 3; Reference numeral 6 denotes a product sample receiving plate located at the bottom of the product sample, which is provided with a communication hole 11.

6 is a light source located at the bottom of the product sample receiving plate;
is a back plate located behind the product sample receiving plate.

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

At night, etc., the light source 6 is turned on, and the light from the light source e passes through the communication hole 11 of the product sample receiving plate 6, causing the product sample 4 to emit light, thereby serving to make the product sample stand out at night, etc.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above structure, 3...
-2 Furthermore, since the back plate reflects the light emitted by the product sample and the light from the light source from the rear of the product sample receiving plate, there is a problem in that the product sample cannot be made to stand out from the surroundings.

In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a product display device for a vending machine that makes a product sample brighter and more conspicuous from the surroundings at night or the like.

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 product sample formed of a translucent material, and a communicating hole provided at the bottom of the product sample. A floodlight window is provided at the rear, a product sample shelf, and a light source placed below the product sample;
The product sample shelf includes a translucent colored member provided at the rear of the product sample shelf, and a back plate erected behind the product sample shelf.

Function: With the above-described structure, the back plate becomes dark due to the projection of colored light from the light source that has passed through the translucent colored member. It emits light from the outside, making product samples even brighter and more noticeable at night, improving the display effect, and contributing to increasing customers' desire to purchase.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, a product display device for a vending machine according to an example of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1. Structures that are the same as those of the prior art will be given the same numbers and detailed explanations will be omitted.

In the figure, 10 is a product sample shelf, and a communication hole 9 is provided at the bottom of the product sample 4 and a light projection window 12 is provided at the rear. Reference numeral 11 covers the light projection window 12 with a colored member having translucency.

The product sample 4, light source 6, and back plate 7 have the same structure as before.

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

The light irradiated by the light source 6 passes through the cover plate and the communication hole 9, causes the product sample 4 to emit light, passes through the cover plate and the light projection window, passes through the transparent colored member, and is colored on the back panel 5. Light is projected and darkens. Therefore, the colored light is projected onto the back plate installed behind the product sample shelf, and the product sample becomes even brighter and more conspicuous as it becomes darker.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention includes a product sample formed of a translucent material, a product sample shelf with a communicating hole in the lower part, a light projection window in the rear part, and a reflective inner surface; The following effects are achieved by the structure of a light source placed at the bottom of the product sample, a translucent colored member provided at the rear of the product sample shelf, and a back plate erected behind the product sample shelf. is obtained.

(1) By coloring and darkening the back plate installed behind the product sample shelf, the light emitted from the product sample becomes even brighter and more noticeable, making the product sample stand out from its surroundings, attracting attention, and greatly enhancing the display effect. This will contribute to improving customers' purchasing motivation.

(2) In order to darken the back plate at night using a method other than the present invention, a device using mechanical operation is required, which increases the cost. }However, it is also possible to provide products with low cost and commercial value.
