Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a display device for an automatic vending machine, which displays the contents (cold temperature, price, etc.) of products.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 4, a conventional vending machine includes a main body cabinet 1 having a storage case 2 therein, and a lighting plate 4a which covers the front surface of the main body cabinet 1 and is made of a transparent plate. An outer door 4 that is provided so as to be openable and closable to the left and right,
The display table 8 of the product sample 11 is provided on the back surface of the outer door 4, the inner door 7 supported by the outer door 4 is provided so as to be openable and closable to the left and right, and is located between the illumination plate 4a and the product sample 11. A display device that displays the contents of the product sample is arranged. This display device includes contents of a product sample (cold temperature, price, etc.) in a holder 31 screwed with four screws 32 on a fixed frame 6 of a push button switch 5 for product selection fixed to an outer door 4. A display board 10 made of a printed board is attached.

[0003]

However, in the conventional display device, when the inside of the lighting plate is cleaned, the holder and the lighting plate are close to each other, so that the cleaning work of the front part of the display plate is not performed. It is not easy and therefore the screwed holder has to be removed with a tool. It is troublesome that the holder has to be attached and detached after each cleaning operation.

Further, since the removed holder is temporarily placed in another place, it may be damaged during the moving work. Therefore,
An object of the present invention is to provide a display device for a vending machine, which can easily change the position of the holder without using a tool.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a main body cabinet having a storage case inside, and a front panel of the main body cabinet, and a lighting plate made of a transparent plate can be opened and closed left and right. A display device for a vending machine, comprising: an outer door supported by the outer door; and a middle door supported by the outer door so that the display stand for the product sample is provided on the back surface of the outer door and can be opened and closed left and right. A holder having a sample display plate inserted therein is placed between the lighting plate and the display base and placed on a fixed base of the outer door, and when the inner door is closed, the lighting plate and the It is sandwiched between the display and the display.

Further, the holder is positioned between the lighting plate and the display base and is supported by a fixed base of the outer door so as to be able to roll over, and the display base is attached to a vertical side of the holder. Hold in contact.

[0007]

[Operation] With the vending machine configured as described above, the holder on which the display board of the product sample is inserted is placed on the fixed stand of the outer door, and when the inner door is closed, the lighting board and the display stand are When sandwiched by, the rigidity of each of the engaging members presses the lower front portion of the holder and the vertical side of the rear portion to suppress movement and rotation of the holder. Therefore, even a free holder that is not fixed to the fixed base will be in a stable holding state when the inner door is closed.

Further, when the holder is mounted on the fixed base of the outer door so as to be able to roll over and the display base is brought into contact with the vertical side of the holder, the contact force of the display base causes the contact force of the display base when the middle door is closed. The bottom surface, the fixed base of the outer door, the vertical side of the holder and the display base are in contact with each other, and further, the rollable support portion restrains the movement and rotation of the holder.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In FIGS. 1 to 3 showing an embodiment and FIG. 4 showing a conventional example, the same parts are designated by the same reference numerals. . In FIG. 1, a main body cabinet 1 is a heat-insulating housing having an open front surface, and internally includes a storage case 2 in which a serpentine-type product storage shelf 12 is mounted and a cooling / heating device (not shown). The front surface is covered with a heat insulating door 3. The outer door 4 includes a lighting plate 4a made of a transparent plate on a part of its front surface, a fixed base 6 to which a push button switch 5 for product selection is attached, and a middle door 7 on the back surface, which can be opened and closed left and right One end is supported by the main body cabinet 1. The middle door 7
A display table 8 is provided at a position facing the illumination plate 4a, and one end thereof is supported on the back surface of the outer door 4 so as to be openable and closable left and right.
The display table 8 is formed in a box shape with its lower surface opened by bending a top portion with a thin plate, and its front surface is easily bent. A holder 9 for holding a display plate 10 for displaying the temperature, price, etc. of the product is placed on the fixed base 6 and is provided at two positions, namely, the vertical side 9a and the lower front part 9b between the front surface of the display base 8 and the lighting plate 4a. It is pinched. The holder 9 is made of a transparent material integrally with a slanted groove 9c having a U-shaped cross section having substantially the same length as the front width of the vending machine and a trapezoidal portion having vertical sides 9a at both ends thereof. The display plate 10 is inserted and embedded in the oblique groove 9c. The display board 10 may be held so that the printed portion projects from the holder 9. In this case, the holder 9 does not need to be made of a transparent material. In this way, the holder 9 with the display plate 10 inserted therein is placed on the fixed base 6 and clamped as described above.

Next, a description will be given of a portion different from the above in another embodiment. In FIG. 2, the holder 21 is placed on the display table 8 such that both ends of the lower part are supported by the fixed table 6 so as to be able to roll over by the pins 22. Explaining this part in detail, the holder 21 is supported by a pin 22 so as to be able to roll laterally, as shown by an arrow, at a portion that overlaps the side surface of the fixed base 6 that extends partially below the trapezoidal portions at both ends. In this way, when the inner door 7 is closed, the reaction force due to the contact between the vertical side 21a and the display table 8 is the pin 22 and the bottom surface 2 of the holder.
1b and the abutment of the upper surface of the fixed base 6 allow it to be received. So
Even if the holder 21 is not sandwiched by the illumination plate 4a, the holder 21 is held in a stable state.

Next, the opening of the middle door 7 will be described.
In the embodiment of FIG. 1, as shown in FIG. 3, when the inner door 7 is opened,
The vertical side 9a of the holder 9 and the front surface of the display table 8 are no longer in contact with each other, and the holder 9 placed on the fixed table 6 is in a free state. Therefore, the holder 9 can be removed without tools. Further, in the case of the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the holder 21 can be turned over to the front side without a tool.

According to the above construction, it becomes possible to easily carry out the cleaning work of the illumination plate, which has been difficult by simply moving the holder having the display plate attached thereto without using a tool.

[0013]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, it has the following effects. The holder with the display board of the product sample is placed between the lighting board and the display stand and placed on the fixed stand of the outer door, and when the inner door is closed, it is sandwiched between the lighting board and the display stand. By doing so, the arrangement of the holder and the display plate can be freely changed without a tool when the outer door and the inner door are opened, respectively, and therefore the cleaning of the illumination plate becomes extremely easy.

Also, by supporting the holder so that it can roll over, it is not necessary to move the holder to another place during cleaning, and the holder and the display plate are not lost or damaged.
