DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a card case suitable for use in a hanging display device called a ten-hand hook.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 12 is a plan view of an example of a ten-hand hook 1 for displaying goods. The ten-hand hook 1 is mounted on a holder 2 which is fitted into a horizontal bar (not shown) of a display shelf from above. A product hook 3 for hanging the products G arranged in a row back and forth, and a display hook 4 located above the product hook 3. The vertical hook 4 b is attached to the tip of the horizontal portion 4 a of the display hook 4.
Is bent upward, and a card case 5 made of synthetic resin or the like is attached using the vertical portion 4b.

A conventional card case 5 used for the ten-hand hook 1 has a block-shaped holding portion fitted on the vertical portion 4b of the display hook 4 from above on the back of a display plate 6 on which a card C is mounted. 7 is provided on the lower surface of the holding portion 7, and the horizontal portion 4a of the display hook 4 when the display plate 6 is in a posture orthogonal to the horizontal portion 4a of the display hook 4 in plan view.
Is formed.

[0004] On the other hand, there are cases where the flow of people passing through the sales area has a direction, and where the width of the product G is smaller than the width of the card case 5 so that there is an empty space in the display space of the product. As a means to do this, utility model registration No. 254
In the publication of No. 1355, as shown in FIG. 13, the display hook 6 is placed on the lower surface of the holding portion 7 in a state where the display plate 6 is tilted with respect to the horizontal portion 4 a of the display hook 4 in plan view. It is described that by additionally forming a groove 9 fitted in the portion 4a, the display plate 6 can be changed between a position perpendicular to the horizontal portion 4a of the display hook 4 and a tilted position in plan view. ing.

[0005]

By the way, the card case 5 must not fall out even if it is pushed up from below by a consumer's hand or a product. Therefore, the vertical portion 4b of the display hook 4 and the card case 5 need to be removed. The fitting of the case 5 with the holding portion 7 is considerably tight. In order to change the attitude of the card case 5 in the configuration of FIG.
By moving the holding portion 7 from the vertical portion 4b of the
After the engagement between the grooves 8, 9 of the display hook 4 and the horizontal portion 4a of the display hook 4 is released, the card case 5 is rotated to a desired posture, and then the card case 5 is pushed with a strong force to Since it is necessary to take steps to fit 8, 9 into the horizontal portion 4a of the display hook 4, it is very troublesome to change the posture of the card case 5, and therefore, the card case 5 used at the sales floor is difficult. Changing the attitude was very troublesome.

[0006] Further, since a huge number of ten-hand hooks 1 are used in only one sales floor and many display shelves are higher than the height of a person, the card case 5 of the prior art is There was a problem that a great deal of work was required to change the posture. When the ten-hand hook 1 and the card case 5 are sold together, the card case 5 is delivered with the card case 5 attached to the ten-hand hook 1, but in this case,
As shown in FIG.
Since the width W2 of the card case 5 is considerably larger than the width W1 of the card case, arranging the ten hooks 1 in a packaging box (not shown) such as a cardboard box produces a dead space, thereby improving transportation and storage efficiency. There was also a problem that was bad.

In this regard, after the fitting of the grooves 8, 9 with the vertical portion 4b is released, the display plate 6
It is considered good to change the posture so that they are arranged in parallel with the horizontal portion 4a of the card case. However, in this case, since the height of the card case 5 is increased, it is possible to significantly contribute to the improvement of the accommodation efficiency in the packaging box. In addition, in use, the card case 5 must be pushed into the vertical portion 4b of the display hook 4 with a strong force, which imposes a heavy burden on the user, which is not a good idea.

An object of the present invention is to solve these problems of the conventional card case.

[0009]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to a card case which is mounted on a bar-shaped display hook having an upwardly vertical portion formed at the end of a horizontal portion, and for mounting a product display card. The card case includes a display plate disposed in front of the display hook, an upper holding portion which is provided on a rear surface of the display plate, and which is horizontally rotatably fitted to a vertical portion of the display hook, A lower holding portion located on the lower surface of the horizontal portion of the display hook on the back surface of the plate, and the upper holding portion is located at a position perpendicular to the axis of the vertical portion of the display hook. The outer peripheral surface is formed in a cut-out state so that it can be fitted against the elasticity by pushing, and the horizontal portion of the display hook is sandwiched between the upper and lower holding portions with the interval between the upper and lower holding portions. So that you can rotate it horizontally And the configuration of settings to ".

[0010]

According to this structure, the card case attached to the display hook can be easily horizontally rotated by using a couple, so that the posture of the card case can be easily changed with a small force. Therefore, even when the card case is actually used in a store, the attitude of the card case can be easily and quickly changed regardless of the height of the shelf. Moreover, since the horizontal portion of the display hook is sandwiched from above and below by the upper and lower holding portions of the card case, the card case does not easily fall off even if a human hand or a product hits the card case from below.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the operation of changing the attitude of the card case can be performed efficiently without causing the card case to come off during use. In addition, when configured as in claim 2, the card case can be set in a state in which the display plate is arranged in parallel with the horizontal portion of the display hook in plan view, so that the card case is attached to the ten-hand hook. When transporting and storing in a packaging box, the storage efficiency in the packaging box can be improved, and the card case can be set to the use state with a very simple operation just by rotating horizontally as it is, There is little additional burden on the user.

[0012]

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 to 8 show a first embodiment, in which FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a ten-hand hook 1 and a card case 11 attached to a horizontal bar B of a display shelf, as viewed from behind, 2A is an exploded perspective view of the card case 11 as viewed from the front, and FIG. 2B is a partial plan sectional view.

As shown in these figures, the card case 11
Is provided with a display plate 12 for mounting a card (price card) C indicating a product name, a price, and the like, and a pair of upper and lower holding portions 13 and 14 integrally provided on the back surface of the display plate 12. . The card case 11 of the embodiment is manufactured by an injection molding method using a synthetic resin such as an ABS resin, for example.
As shown in FIG. 2, stepped ridges 15 project from the left and right side edges and the lower edge of the front surface of the display panel 12.
The card C can be inserted into the gap between the display plate 12 and the transparent sheet 16 by superposing a transparent sheet 16 such as a PVC sheet on the step portion 15a and welding it by an appropriate means such as ultrasonic welding. Like that. Note that each of the ridges 15 may be continuously formed integrally.

At the upper end of the display plate 12, an arc-shaped notch 17 for making it easier to pick the card C is formed by notching upward. As shown by a dashed line in FIG. 2, a notch 17 may be formed at the upper edge of the transparent sheet 16. The mounting means of the card C is not limited to the format as in the embodiment, but may be a card C.
May be attached to the front of the display plate 12, for example.
Any form can be used as long as the card C can be mounted (displayed).

FIG. 3 is a plan view of the card case 11, FIG. 4 is a rear view of the card case 11, and FIG. 5A is a VA-VA of FIGS.
FIG. 5B is a side view taken along line VB-VB of FIG. 4, and FIG.
7 and FIG. 8 are views showing the state of use when viewed from the direction of the line VI-VI of FIG.
13 and 14 will be described. For example, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the upper holding portion 13 has a center hole 18 that fits into the vertical portion 4 b of the display hook 4, and the display plate 12 communicates with the center hole 18.
By vertically penetrating the cutout groove 19 opened in the lateral direction along the back surface of the upper holding portion 13
Are formed so as to open in the outer peripheral direction in plan view, so that the upper holding portion 13 and the vertical portion 4b of the display hook 4 can be fitted to each other by being pushed in from a direction orthogonal to the axis of the vertical portion 4b. Like that. Therefore, the card case 11 attached to the display hook 4 can be rotated around the axis of the vertical portion 4b of the display hook 4, and the upper holding portion 13 drops at the horizontal portion 4a of the display hook 4. Supported by impossibility.

The insertion groove 19 of the upper holding portion 13 is formed in a tapered shape in a plan view so that the interval becomes narrower toward the center hole 18, and a connecting portion between the insertion groove 19 and the center hole 18 is formed by a display hook. 4
Are narrowed so that the groove width is smaller than the outer diameter of the vertical portion 4b. Therefore, the upper holding part 13 and the vertical part 4b
The upper holding portion 13 can be fitted and detached by deformation against the elasticity. As shown in FIG. 5 (A), the lower end of the center hole 18 in the upper holding portion 13 is formed in a tapered shape expanding downward.

Further, a pair of left and right upper projections 20 project downward from the left and right sides of the upper holding portion 13 as an example of the stopper portion described in the second aspect. The upper holding portion 13 and the vertical portion 4b may be set so that some friction occurs between the upper holding portion 13 and the vertical portion 4b, or the upper holding portion 13 may be rotated horizontally without friction. It may be set to a state in which the stopper portion can be provided (the latter is preferable if a stopper portion is provided as in the present embodiment). Further, it is necessary that the center hole 18 and the insertion groove 19 are opened downward, but they are not necessarily opened upward.

The lower holding portion 14 is formed in a shape surrounding the upper holding portion 13 in a plan view. That is, the lower holding portion 14 has a hole 21 in which the upper holding portion 13 is fitted in a plan view.
This is because when the card case 11 is manufactured by the injection molding method, it can be easily manufactured only by bringing the pair of molds into close contact with and separating from each other in a direction perpendicular to the paper surface of FIG. This is to make it possible to manufacture the upper and lower holding parts 13 and 14 by removing the mold.)

The upper holding portion of the upper surface of the lower holding portion 14 in plan view.
The area sandwiched by the left and right upper projections 20 is set to a land 22 having a height such that the horizontal part 4a of the display hook 4 is tightly sandwiched between the lower surface of the upper holding part 13 and the land. Department
The portions on both sides of 22 are formed in a stepped portion 23 which is lower than the land portion 22, and the stepped portion 23 and the land portion 22 are connected by a gentle slope.

A pair of lower projections 24 forming a stopper portion in the same manner as the upper projections 20 on both left and right sides of a center line O extending in the front-rear direction in the land portions 22 of the lower holding portion 14. By forming the horizontal portion 4a of the display hook 4 between the left and right lower projections 24, the display plate 12 can be held in a position perpendicular to the horizontal portion 4a of the display hook 4 in plan view. When the display plate 12 is tilted by a predetermined angle α in a plan view with respect to the horizontal portion 4a of the display hook 4, the horizontal portion 4a of the display hook 4 is It is set to be sandwiched from.

Therefore, when the card case 11 attached to the display hook 4 is rotated horizontally against the elasticity of the upper and lower holding portions 13 and 14, the upper and lower projections 22 and 24 are moved to the horizontal portion of the display hook 4.
Going over 4a, the card case 11
7B, the display plate 12 is perpendicular to the horizontal portion 4a of the display hook 4, and the display plate 12 is inclined to the horizontal portion 4a of the display hook 4 as shown in FIG. And their postures are selectively held.

In this case, since the card case 11 can be rotated with a very small force by a couple, the posture can be easily changed irrespective of the height position while being used in the counter. Moreover, since the horizontal portion 4a of the display hook 4 is located between the upper and lower holding portions 14, even if a human hand or a product hits the card case 11 from below, it does not fall off.

When the card case 11 is attached to the ten-hand hook 1 and stored in a packaging box, the display plate 12 of the card case 11 is moved to the horizontal portion 4a of the display hook 4 as shown in FIG. Since the dead space is minimized in the packaging box, the space can be effectively used when transporting and storing the card case 11 with the ten-hand hook 1 attached. FIG. 7 (A)
As shown in the figure, since the display hook 4 is shorter than the product hook 3 in the ten-hand hook 1, even if the display plate 12 of the card case 11 is arranged in parallel with the horizontal portion 4a of the display hook 4,
The display plate 12 does not protrude from the tip 3a of the product hook 3. Therefore, a conventional packaging box can be used as it is.

As shown in FIG. 5, the lower projection 24 is set so as to decrease in height toward the display panel 12, but this is because
This is to prevent the lower holder 14 from being excessively elastically deformed when the card case 11 is rotated. Lower holding part
It is not always necessary to form the land portion 22 and the step-down portion 23 in 14, and the entire portion may be formed at the same height. However, when the step-down portion 23 is formed, the card case 11 is attached to the display hook 4. There is an advantage that the fitting can be easily performed and the resistance when rotating the card case 11 can be reduced. FIG. 7
In the state where the posture is held by the projections 20 and 24 as shown in FIG. 8B or FIG. 8, the card case 11 may be slightly loose in the vertical direction. Further, the card case 11 does not necessarily need to be able to be rotated by 180 degrees, but may be in a state in which it can be rotated within a range of, for example, about 120 degrees.

FIG. 9 shows a second embodiment ((A) is a plan view, and (B) is a developed view of (A) as viewed from the BB). In this example, the entire upper surface of the lower holding portion 14 is set at the same height, and the lower protrusion 24
Are formed in a hemispherical shape. As can be easily guessed from this example, there is no particular limitation on the planar shape or cross-sectional shape of the stopper portion such as the upper and lower protrusions 23 and 24.
It suffices if the card case 11 can be held in the attitude by engaging with the horizontal portion 4a of the display hook 4 while allowing the rotation of the card case 11.

In the first and second embodiments, the upper holder 13 is opened in the lateral direction along the back surface of the display panel 12, but as in the third embodiment shown in FIG. Holder 13
May be opened backward or open obliquely. Also in the third embodiment, the upper holding unit 13
Is inserted into the vertical portion 4b of the display hook 4 against its elasticity, so that the card case 11 does not easily fall off even if it is pushed upward.

FIG. 11A shows a state in which a holder 25 formed by bending a transparent plate 16 is mounted on the display plate 12,
This is a fourth embodiment in which the card C is inserted into the 25. FIG. 11 (B) shows a fifth embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a display hook 4 which is attached to a display shelf formed in a net shape by stretching a wire 26 vertically and horizontally. Is not limited to the ten-hand hook.
