Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、主にコンビニエンスストアーやスーパー等の店内に設置されている商品陳列棚等に載置することにより用いられ、商品の自動前出しが容易な商品陳列ユニットに関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来、コンビニエンスストアーやスーパー等では、図１２に示す商品陳列ケース５０の各商品陳列棚５１に、多種類の商品５２が豊富に陳列されている。商品５２は手前の方から売れてゆくため、必然的に手前の部分が空くことになり、従って、奥にある商品５２を手前に出す所謂前出し作業が必要となる。この為、種々の自動又は半自動の前出し機能を備えた商品陳列棚又は商品陳列具が多数提案されている。例えば、収納ケース５３の底部に多数のローラ５４が商品陳列ケース５０の扉５５側に下り勾配となるように取り付けられた商品陳列ユニット５６がある（特開平８−２４０９１号公報参照）。この商品陳列ユニット５６は、商品５２に対して仕切り機能を有する側板５７の幅寸法が決められているから、それに適合する商品５２のみが利用できる。従って、商品５２のサイズに合わせた複数種類の商品陳列ユニット５６を取り揃え、在庫管理しておく必要がある。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記従来の商品陳列ユニット５６は、商品５２のサイズに合わせた複数種類のものを取り揃えておく必要があるから、その費用が高く管理も煩雑となりやすい。また、この商品陳列ユニット５６はサイズが決まっているから、商品陳列ケース５０内の各商品陳列棚５１の模様替えするときの自由度が低く、やりずらい。更に、ローラ５４は収納ケース５３の底部全面に多数配設されているから、構造が複雑であり商品陳列ケース５０の製作費用が高くなってしまう。
【０００４】
そこで、図１３に示すように、自動前出しを維持しつつ、商品５２のサイズに合わせて、側板５７、５７間における幅寸法を決め、そのまま別体の位置決め固定機５８により商品前出し機５９を位置止め出来る商品陳列ユニット５６ａが考えられる。この商品陳列ユニット５６ａでは、商品５２のサイズに合わせて、側板５７、５７間における幅寸法を決めることが出来て都合が良い。しかしながら、この商品陳列ユニット５６ａは、商品前出し機５９以外に位置決め固定機５８が必要になり、また、商品陳列ケース５０の間口寸法は、各種ありまちまちであるから、その間口寸法に合った位置決め固定機５８が必要となり、位置決め固定機５８は代替え性が乏しく、結局、この商品陳列ユニット５６ａでは、商品陳列ケース５０内の各商品陳列棚５１の模様替えを支障なく行うために、商品前出し機５９以外に各種寸法の位置決め固定機５８が必要となって、その費用負担と在庫管理が必要となる。加えて、前出し本体６０には商品５２の全幅ではないにしても、多数のローラ５４が配設されるから、構造が複雑でありその製作費用が高くなりがちである。
【０００５】
従って、本発明の目的は、自動前出しを維持しつつ、商品のサイズに合わせて設定出来、模様替えが自由容易で、しかも在庫管理もほとんど必要なくかつ構造簡単で安価な商品陳列ユニットを提供することにある。
【０００６】
【課題を解決するための手段】
かかる状況において、本発明者は、鋭意検討を行った結果、前出し本体にローラの代わりに滑り材を設置し、更にこの前出し本体に仕切り板を設け滑り材上の商品の移動をガイドさせる商品前出し機を構成し、商品の幅寸法に合わせて仕切り板間距離を決め商品前出し機同士を連結し位置止めする位置決め固定機を、上記の商品前出し機に設けて一体構成の商品陳列ユニットとするか、又は別体として組合せの商品陳列ユニットにすれば、多数のローラを使用しない分構造が簡単になり、商品のサイズに合わせて仕切り板間距離を自由に設定出来、商品の種類数に応じて一体構成の商品陳列ユニットを順次追加して行けば良く、商品のサイズごとの商品陳列ユニットを多数在庫管理したり、寸法違いの位置決め固定機を在庫管理する必要もないことを見い出し、本発明を完成するに至った。
【０００７】
すなわち、本請求項１に係る発明は、前出し本体上にある商品を外力により商品取出部位側に移動させる作動装置を含むと共に、前記前出し本体にこれを前後方向に平行に分割する仕切り板を設け前記商品の移動をガイドしてなる商品前出し機と、前記商品の幅寸法に合わせて前記仕切り板間距離を決め前記商品前出し機同士を連結し位置止めする位置決め固定機と、からなることを特徴とする商品陳列ユニットを提供するものである。また、本請求項２に係る発明は、前出し本体上にある商品を外力により商品取出部位側に移動させる作動装置を含むと共に、前記前出し本体にこれを前後方向に平行に分割する仕切り板を設け前記商品の移動をガイドしてなる商品前出し機と、前記商品の幅寸法に合わせて前記仕切り板間距離を決め前記商品前出し機同士を連結し位置止めする位置決め固定機と、からなり、前記商品前出し機に前記位置決め固定機を設けて一体構成としたことを特徴とする商品陳列ユニットを提供するものである。かかる構成を採ることにより、商品前出し機と一体構成の位置決め固定機によって、商品前出し機同士を商品のサイズに合わせて連結し位置決め出来、その状態で商品陳列棚上に載置し、その際商品前出し機の商品取出部位側を商品陳列棚の扉側に来るようにして、前出し本体上に商品を置けば、商品前出し機の外力を付与する作動装置により、商品取出部位側まで自動前出しでき、商品や商品陳列棚のサイズに関係なく、商品陳列棚上の模様替えが出来る。
【０００８】
また、本請求項３に係る発明は、前記作動装置が、前記前出し本体に滑り材をほぼ水平に設け、使用時に前記前出し本体を前記商品取出部位側に傾斜させてなる商品陳列ユニットを提供するものである。かかる構成を採ることにより、上記機能に加え、滑り材の傾斜角を商品の状況に応じて自由に設定出来、その設定状態のまま商品陳列棚の上に載置すれば、滑り材上の商品をその状況に応じて、その自重に由来して常時働く分力により、商品を商品取出部位側に移動させ得る。
【０００９】
また、本請求項４に係る発明は、前記作動装置が、前記前出し本体に滑り材を前記商品取出部位側に傾斜させて設けてなる商品陳列ユニットを提供するものである。かかる構成を採ることにより、滑り材の傾斜角が予め設定されているから、そのまま商品陳列棚等の上に載置すれば、滑り材上の商品を上記分力により、商品を商品取出部位側に移動させ得る。
【００１０】
また、本請求項５に係る発明は、前記作動装置が、前記前出し本体の仕切り板を境にして区分した一方に滑り材をほぼ水平に設けると共に、他方にローラをほぼ平行に設け、使用時に前記前出し本体を前記商品取出部位側に傾斜させてなる商品陳列ユニットを提供するものである。かかる構成を採ることにより、上記機能に加え、滑り材及びローラの傾斜角を商品の状況に応じて自由に設定出来、その設定状態のまま商品陳列棚等の上に載置すれば、滑り材及びローラ上の商品をその状況に応じて協動し、上記分力により商品取出部位側に移動させ得る。
【００１１】
また、本請求項６に係る発明は、前記作動装置は、前記前出し本体の仕切り板を境にして区分した一方に滑り材を前記商品取出部位側に傾斜させて設け、他方にローラを前記商品取出部位側に傾斜させて設けてなる商品陳列ユニットを提供するものである。かかる構成を採ることにより、上記機能に加え、滑り材及びローラの傾斜角が予め設定されているから、そのまま商品陳列棚等の上に載置すれば、滑り材及びローラ上の商品を協動して、上記分力により商品取出部位側に移動させ得る。
【００１２】
また、本請求項７に係る発明は、前記商品前出し機の商品取出部位側の仕切り板端部に少なくとも一個分の商品につき幅調節スペーサを設けて、前記商品前出し機同士を位置決めする商品陳列ユニットを提供するものである。かかる構成を採ることにより、商品前出し機の仕切り板に設けられた幅調節スペーサで商品を軽く当て、仕切り板間距離を決め、その状態で商品前出し機同士を位置決め固定機により連結し位置決めすると、円滑な自動前出しに最適な位置決めが出来る。
【００１３】
また、本請求項８に係る発明は、前記位置決め固定機は、前記仕切り板間距離を決める位置決めピッチ板を有する商品陳列ユニットを提供するものである。かかる構成を採ることにより、商品前出し機と一体構成の位置決め固定機によって、商品前出し機同士を商品のサイズに合わせて、その位置決めピッチ板により、確実に連結し位置決め出来る。
【００１４】
また、本請求項９に係る発明は、前記商品陳列ユニットの前方端に、商品の転落を防止する止め板を設け、該止め板の上方部を商品陳列側に屈曲させ、該上方部側で商品を当接するようにした商品陳列ユニットを提供するものである。かかる構成を採ることにより、背丈及び重心が高い商品の転落を確実に防止できる。
【００１５】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、実施の形態をあげて本発明を図１〜１１に基づいて詳述する。
図１は本発明の実施形態である商品陳列ユニットの組立状態を示す斜視図、図図２は本発明の実施形態である商品陳列ユニットの使用状態を示す斜視図、図３は本発明の実施形態である商品陳列ユニットの要部を示す斜視図である。図において、商品陳列ユニット１は、前出し本体２上にある商品３を外力により商品取出部位Ａ側に移動させる作動装置４を含むと共に、前出し本体２にこれを前後方向に平行に分割する仕切り板５を設け商品３の移動をガイドしてなる商品前出し機６と、商品３の幅寸法に合わせて仕切り板５間距離を決め商品前出し機６同士を連結し位置止めする位置決め固定機７と、からなり、商品前出し機６に位置決め固定機７を設けて一体構成としたものである。
【００１６】
前記前出し本体２は、上板１０の両側に細長い２枚の側板１１、１２が、その両端に商品取出部位Ａ側に位置する側板１３及びその反対側の側板１４が取り付けられてなる。この側板１１の下端面には、前記位置決め固定機８が嵌められる凹溝１５、１６が刻まれ、これらの凹溝１５、１６間には凸部１７がある。この前出し本体２には、前述のように、仕切り板５が設けられているが、この仕切り板５は前出し本体２の軸方向に平行に２等分割でなく、図１、２中左側に片寄って分割されている。
【００１７】
そして、この前出し本体２の上板１０は、仕切り板５を境にして側板１１側の上板１０ａ及び側板１２側の上板１０ｂに分かれている。これら上板１０ａ及び上板１０ｂには前記作動装置４、すなわち、リブ状の滑り材１８がほぼ水平に設けられ、使用時にこの前出し本体２は前記商品取出部位Ａ側に傾斜される。このリブ状の滑り材１８には特に限定が無いが、摩擦係数μが限りなく零に近いものが良いのは言うまでもない。従って、この摩擦係数μが、従来例での多数のローラ５４のころがり摩擦と同等のリブ状の滑り材１８を選択し、同じ傾斜角にこの前出し本体２を傾斜させれば、リブ状の滑り材１８上の前記商品３は、その自重に起因して常時働く分力により、従来例のローラ５４の場合と同じように商品取出部位Ａ側に移動する。なお、図２において、１９は止め板で、この止め板１９は商品取出部位Ａに近在して商品３の倒れ及び落下防止用のもので、保持具２０により支持されている。止め板１９は、上方部が商品陳列側に屈曲しているため、背丈及び重心が高い商品の転落を確実に防止できる。
【００１８】
また、商品取出部位Ａに位置する仕切り板５端部には幅調節スペーサ３０が一体に形成され、幅調節スペーサ３０は、仕切り板５端部に少なくとも一個分の商品３につき対応している。これは、商品３の種類によりその寸法が異なるから、仕切り板５間の最適距離を決め、商品前出し機６同士の位置決めするのに、幅調節スペーサ３０同士で一個の商品４を挟めなければならない、ことによる。更に、この幅調節スペーサ３０の厚みは、これが無い仕切り板５間において、商品３との間にどの程度の余裕があれば、リブ状の滑り材１８上の商品３が最もスムーズに商品取出部位Ａ側に移動するかにより、決定される。すなわち、幅調節スペーサ３０の厚みは、各種商品についての実験及び経験則に基づき決定される。
なお、図４に示すように、幅調節スペーサ３０ａは、前記仕切り板５端部に着脱自在であっても良い。このような幅調節スペーサ３０ａであると、幅調節機能の無い商品前出し機６ａにも幅調節機能を付与出来て都合が良い。
【００１９】
前記位置決め固定機７は、水平板３１に矩形切欠３２が設けられ、この矩形切欠３２には掛け部３３があり、この位置決め固定機７は商品前出し機６の前出し本体２の細長い側板１２に取り付けられている。位置決め固定機７の水平板３１及び矩形切欠３２は、前記前出し本体２の側板１１の下端面に設けられた凹溝１５、１６に嵌めることが出来、掛け部３３は凹溝１５、１６間にある凸部１７に引っ掛けることが出来て、２つの商品前出し機６間に置くことが出来る商品３の最大幅を規制している。
【００２０】
次に、上記構成になる商品陳列ユニット１の使用方法を説明する。
まず、商品前出し機６の側板１２に位置決め固定機７を設けて一体に構成した、必要数の商品陳列ユニット１を用意する。すなわち、幅調節スペーサ３０が一体に形成された少なくとも２以上の商品陳列ユニット１を用意するか、あるいは幅調節機能の無い商品前出し機６ａを含む商品陳列ユニット１と、同数の着脱自在の幅調節スペーサ３０ａとを用意する。次に、図１２に示す商品陳列棚５１に２つ以上の商品陳列ユニット１を所定の傾斜、すなわち、リブ状の滑り材１８上の商品３の状況に応じてその傾斜を自由に設定出来るから、その自重に起因して常時働く分力により、商品取出部位Ａ側に移動するのに充分な傾斜、を有するように載置収納する。その際、商品前出し機６の側板１３が扉５５側に来るようにする。図４の商品前出し機６ａの場合は、仕切り板５端部に幅調節スペーサ３０ａを嵌めれば、商品前出し機６と同様になる。
【００２１】
そして、一の商品前出し機６に他の商品前出し機６の位置決め固定機７を嵌め、両商品前出し機６の幅調節スペーサ３０間のリブ状の滑り材１８上に商品３を置き、位置決め固定機７に嵌められた２つの商品前出し機６を移動させ、幅調節スペーサ３０にて商品３を軽く当てた状態にするだけで、簡単に位置決め出来、２つの商品前出し機６を連結し位置止めすることが出来る。更に商品３を並べたい場合には、商品陳列ユニット１を順次追加して、上記と同じ作業をすれば良い。この状態で商品３を取り出すと、図５に示すように、各幅調節スペーサ３０間の幅寸法Ｘは商品３の幅寸法Ｙとほぼ等しく、各仕切り板５間の幅寸法Ｚは商品３の幅寸法Ｙより程よく大きく（Ｘ≒Ｙ＜Ｚ）、仕切り板５間距離が自動前出しに最適に設定されているから、後に続く商品３は幅調節スペーサ３０の無い仕切り板５にガイドされ、先頭の商品３が前記止め板１９に当たるまで移動する。
【００２２】
図６、７は本発明の他の実施形態である商品陳列ユニット１ａを示し、図１〜５に示す商品陳列ユニット１との相違点は、商品前出し機６ｂの前記作動装置４ａが、前出し本体２の上板１０ａ、１０ｂ全面に平面状の滑り材１８ａをほぼ水平に設けたものである点にある。なお、この平面状の滑り材１８ａは、特に限定がなく、上板１０の表面に滑剤を塗布したようなものでもよい。その他の構成、作用は、図１〜５に示す商品陳列ユニット１と同様なので、図面に符号を付してその説明を省略する。
【００２３】
図８は本発明の他の実施形態の商品陳列ユニット１ｂを示し、図１〜５に示す商品陳列ユニット１との相違点は、商品前出し機６ｃの作動装置４ｂが、前出し本体２の仕切り板５を境にして区分し、この仕切り板５と側板１１との間にローラ３４をほぼ平行に設けると共に、上板１０ｂにリブ状の滑り材１８をほぼ水平に設けたものである点にある。その他の構成、作用は、図１〜５に示す商品陳列ユニット１と同様なので、図面に符号を付してその説明を省略する。
【００２４】
図９は本発明の他の実施形態の商品陳列ユニット１ｃを示し、図１〜５に示す商品陳列ユニット１との相違点は、商品前出し機６ｄの作動装置４ｃが、前出し本体２ａにリブ状の滑り材１８を商品取出部位Ａ側に傾斜させて設け、更に位置決め固定機７ａが前記仕切り板５間距離を決める位置決めピッチ板３５を有する点にある。すなわち、前出し本体２ａは、上板１０の両側に商品取出部位Ａに近づくに従い幅狭くなっている細長い２枚の側板３６、３７が、上板１０の両端に商品取出部位Ａに位置する側板３８及びその反対側の側板３９が取り付けられてなり、上板１０の上面が側板３９から側板３８に向けて下り勾配になり、その上板１０、すなわち、上板１０ａ、１０ｂにリブ状の滑り材１８が設けられている。従って、リブ状の滑り材１８上の前記商品３は、予め傾斜角が設定されているから、そのまま商品陳列棚等の上に載置すれば、その自重に起因して常時働く分力によって、商品取出部位Ａ側に移動する。
【００２５】
また、前出し本体２ａの側板３６の下端面には、前記位置決め固定機７ａが嵌められる凹溝４０が刻まれている。位置決め固定機７ａが位置決めピッチ板３５を有しているから、これのピッチ３５ａにより、商品前出し機６ｄと一体構成の位置決め固定機７ａによって、商品前出し機６ｄ同士を商品３のサイズに合わせて、その位置決めピッチ板３５のピッチ３５ａに凹溝４０の突起（不図示）を嵌めるから、確実に連結し位置決め出来る点にある。なお、この商品陳列ユニット１ｃには幅調節スペーサ３０が無いが、これは位置決めピッチ板３５のピッチ３５ａにより、仕切り板５間距離を決めるため、必要無いからである。その他の構成、作用は図１〜５に示す商品陳列ユニット１と同様なので、図面に符号を付してその説明を省略する。
【００２６】
図１０は本発明の他の実施形態の商品陳列ユニット１ｄを示し、図９に示す商品陳列ユニット１ｃとの相違点は、商品前出し機６ｅの前記作動装置４ｄが、図７に示すように、前出し本体２ａの上板１０ａ、１０ｂ全面に平面状の滑り材１８ａを設けたものである点にある。その他の構成、作用は、図９に示す商品陳列ユニット１ｃと同様なので、図面に符号を付してその説明を省略する。
【００２７】
図１１は本発明の他の実施形態の商品陳列ユニット１ｅを示し、図９に示す商品陳列ユニット１ｃとの相違点は、商品前出し機６ｆの前記作動装置４ｅが、前出し本体２ａの仕切り板５を境にして区分し、この仕切り板５と側板３６との間にローラ３４を傾斜させて設けると共に、上板１０ｂにリブ状の滑り材１８を設けたものである点にある。その他の構成、作用は、図９に示す商品陳列ユニット１ｃと同様なので、図面に符号を付してその説明を省略する。
【００２８】
以上、本発明の実施形態を説明したが、具体的な構成はこれに限定されず、本発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲での変更、追加は本発明の範囲内である。
【００２９】

【００３５】
請求項８の発明によれば、商品前出し機と一体構成の位置決め固定機によって、商品前出し機同士を商品のサイズに合わせて、その位置決めピッチ板により、確実に連結し位置決め出来る。従って、上記効果に加え、一度、連結し位置決めした一体構成の商品前出し機同士が離れて、その位置決め状態が崩れるようなことがほとんど無くなる。
【００３６】
請求項９の発明によれば、止め板の上方部で商品を当接するため、背丈及び重心が高い商品の転落を確実に防止できる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a merchandise display unit that is used by placing on a merchandise display shelf or the like installed in a store such as a convenience store or a supermarket, and that facilitates automatic advancement of merchandise.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, in a convenience store, a supermarket, and the like, various kinds of products 52 are abundantly displayed on each product display shelf 51 of the product display case 50 shown in FIG. Since the product 52 is sold from the front side, the front portion is inevitably vacant, and therefore, a so-called advance operation is required to bring the product 52 in the back to the front side. For this reason, many merchandise display shelves or merchandise display tools having various automatic or semi-automatic advance functions have been proposed. For example, there is a merchandise display unit 56 in which a large number of rollers 54 are attached to the bottom of the storage case 53 so as to be inclined downward on the door 55 side of the merchandise display case 50 (see JP-A-8-24091). In this product display unit 56, since the width dimension of the side plate 57 having a partition function with respect to the product 52 is determined, only the product 52 conforming to the width dimension can be used. Accordingly, it is necessary to prepare a plurality of types of product display units 56 corresponding to the size of the product 52 and manage the stock.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Since the conventional product display unit 56 needs to have a plurality of types according to the size of the product 52, the cost is high and the management is likely to be complicated. Further, since the size of the product display unit 56 is determined, the degree of freedom in changing the design of each product display shelf 51 in the product display case 50 is low and difficult. Further, since a large number of rollers 54 are disposed on the entire bottom surface of the storage case 53, the structure is complicated and the production cost of the product display case 50 is increased.
[0004]
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 13, the width between the side plates 57 and 57 is determined according to the size of the product 52 while maintaining automatic advancement, and the product advancement machine 59 is provided by a separate positioning and fixing device 58 as it is. A product display unit 56a that can be positioned is conceivable. This product display unit 56a is convenient because the width dimension between the side plates 57, 57 can be determined according to the size of the product 52. However, since the product display unit 56a requires a positioning and fixing device 58 in addition to the product advancer 59, and the frontage dimensions of the product display case 50 are various, positioning according to the frontage size. A fixing machine 58 is required, and the positioning and fixing machine 58 is poor in substitutability. As a result, in this product display unit 56a, in order to change the design of each product display shelf 51 in the product display case 50 without trouble, In addition to 59, a positioning and fixing machine 58 having various dimensions is required, and its cost burden and inventory management are required. In addition, since a large number of rollers 54 are arranged in the advancement main body 60, if not the full width of the product 52, the structure is complicated and the manufacturing cost tends to be high.
[0005]
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a product display unit that can be set according to the size of a product while maintaining automatic advancement, can be easily redesigned, requires little inventory control, has a simple structure, and is inexpensive. There is.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In such a situation, as a result of intensive studies, the present inventor installed a sliding material instead of a roller on the advancement main body, and further provided a partition plate on the advancement main body to guide the movement of the product on the sliding material.
