Description

  The present invention relates to a product sample installed in a vending machine. In particular, the present invention relates to a product sample that provides a shape imitating a product having a curved peripheral surface, such as a plastic bottle beverage or a canned beverage.

In vending machines for canned beverages, in order to provide a shape that mimics a product with a three-dimensional shape with a curved peripheral surface, a product sample that is molded into a shape that halves the actual product is used. May be used. Alternatively, when one flat sheet is curved, the three-dimensional shape of a canned beverage can be imitated, so a product sample is configured by combining a flat sheet and a holder that maintains the flat sheet in a curved state. In some cases.
As disclosed in Patent Document 1, the holder includes a bottom portion and a head portion, and a curved shape corresponding to the peripheral surface of the canned beverage is formed on both the bottom portion and the head portion. Providing a three-dimensional shape imitating the shape of a cylindrical product with a flat sheet by aligning the lower side of the flat sheet with the curved shape of the bottom of the holder and the upper side of the flat sheet with the curved shape of the holder head Can do.

Since PET bottle drinks have not only a curved peripheral surface but also a three-dimensional curved surface that bends or bends in the height direction, a three-dimensional shape is obtained by curving one flat sheet. I can't imitate. Therefore, as disclosed in Patent Document 2, a vending machine for PET bottle beverages uses a product sample that is molded into a shape that halves an actual product. For this reason, the product sample is manufactured by molding according to the shape of the product.
JP-A-9-311975 JP 2002-15365 A

Many problems arise when using a product sample that is molded into a shape that halves an actual product.
1) Each time a new shape of product is developed, it is necessary to manufacture a mold for a product sample, and the time required to start manufacturing the product sample is long. There is a high risk of accidents where product samples are not in time when new products start selling.
2) The manufacturing cost of the product sample is high because the mold for manufacturing the product sample is manufactured and the molding process is performed.
3) It is difficult to store product samples molded into a three-dimensional shape, and the storage space increases. The number of product samples that can be loaded on a product delivery truck is limited.

  Most of the problems described above are solved by composing a sample product by combining a flat sheet and a holder. However, a product sample that can be configured by combining a flat sheet and a holder is limited to a cylindrically shaped product such as a canned beverage, and a product having a three-dimensional curved surface that is curved in at least two directions, such as a plastic bottle. There was a problem that could not cope.

  The product sample provided by the present invention includes a flat sheet and a holder. The flat sheet is formed of a flexible sheet that can be bent into a shape that follows the curved peripheral surface of the product, and the shape of the product with the curved peripheral surface when viewed from the front is flattened. The shape is printed, and a locking portion is formed at a position along each side. The holder has a bottom portion, a pair of columnar portions rising in a direction orthogonal to the bottom portion from two positions facing each other across the diameter of the bottom portion, and an engaging portion formed on each columnar portion. ing. The engaging portion can be engaged with a locking portion of a curved flat sheet.

The product sample of the present invention provides a shape imitating a product having a three-dimensional curved surface that is curved in two directions only by bending a flat sheet along one direction.
For example, in the case of a plastic bottle, the curvature radius in a bottle part and the curvature radius in a cap part differ, and a half-shaped thing cannot be expand | deployed on a plane. In other words, the shape of a product having a three-dimensional curved surface that is curved in two directions cannot be imitated only by bending the flat sheet along one direction. For that reason, a sample product molded into a three-dimensional shape was used.
However, it is sufficient that the product sample does not need to faithfully reproduce the product shape and does not give the consumer a sense of incongruity. The inventors of the present invention viewed from the front a product shape that cannot be developed on a plane, printed a shape obtained by developing the shape thus obtained on a plane on a sheet, and curved it to form a three-dimensional curved surface that curves in two directions. It was confirmed that even if the product has a product sample that gives a natural impression to the extent that it does not give the consumer a sense of incongruity. When a holder having a bottom and a pair of columnar parts is used, there is no indicator member behind the front part of the product. In particular, there is no support member behind the head. When the flat sheet printed on the sheet was maintained in a curved state by the holder, it was confirmed that a natural impression that a product having a three-dimensional curved surface is self-supporting can be given at first glance. For example, in the case of a plastic bottle beverage, the cap present at a position deeper than the peripheral surface constituting the bottle portion is recognized as being present at the back position, and for the shoulder portion connecting the bottle portion and the cap portion, It is recognized that it has a shape converging from the bottle part toward the cap part.

The product sample provided by the present invention can provide not only a product sample for recognizing a product having a three-dimensional curved surface without a sense of incongruity, but also can easily cope with various product shapes.
For example, by adjusting the height of the flat sheet and the height of the printed shape, a product sample corresponding to two or more types of products having different heights can be provided.
Or the sample of goods corresponding to two or more kinds of goods from which width differs can be provided by adjusting the width of the shape printed on a plane sheet. Even if the curvature of the flat sheet is constant, if the width of the printed shape is widened, the shape imitating a large diameter product can be reproduced, and if the width of the printed shape is narrowed, the shape imitating a small diameter product can be reproduced. .

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide samples for different types of products simply by changing the printing shape on the flat sheet.
1) The date and time required to start production of a product sample for a product with a new shape can be greatly shortened. It is possible to eliminate the risk of an accident such as a product sample not being in time when a new product starts to be sold.
2) There is no need to manufacture a mold for a product sample, and there is no need to carry out a molding step, and a product sample can be manufactured at low cost.
3) Since they are flat sheets, they can be stacked and stored, and a large number of product samples can be loaded on a product delivery truck.

  It can also be said that the present invention provides a holder that supports a sample that is installed in a vending machine and provides a shape imitating a product. The holder includes a bottom portion, a pair of columnar portions rising in a direction orthogonal to the bottom portion from two positions facing each other across the diameter of the bottom portion, and engaging portions formed on each columnar portion. ing. This holder has a flat sheet in which a locking portion is formed at a position along each side of the flexible flat sheet that can be bent into a shape that follows the curved peripheral surface of the product. In a curved state, the engaging portion engages with the locking portion, and the flat sheet is maintained in a curved state.

The products sold are often changed. Depending on the season, sales products may be exchanged, or sales products may be exchanged as new products are introduced. For this reason, it is required that the flat sheet is easily attached to the holder and that the flat sheet is easily removed from the holder, and at the same time, the flat sheet attached to the holder is required not to be carelessly removed from the holder.
Therefore, it is preferable that the engaging portion formed on the holder includes a front surface that forms an obtuse angle from the columnar portion and a rear surface that forms an acute angle from the columnar portion.
Here, the front surface that forms an obtuse angle from the columnar part is a surface that is continuously visible when the holder is viewed from the front, and the rear surface that forms an acute angle from the columnar part is discontinuous when the holder is viewed from the rear. It is the surface that can be seen.
When the front surface described above is provided in the engaging portion of the holder, the engaging portion of the flat sheet gets over the engaging portion of the holder by moving the flat sheet rearward. When the above-described rear surface is provided on the engaging portion of the holder, the engaging portion of the flat sheet abuts on the rear surface of the engaging portion of the holder, and the engaging portion is not inadvertently detached from the engaging portion.

Furthermore, in the present invention, it is preferable that the engaging portion formed on the holder includes an upper and lower surface that forms an obtuse angle from the columnar portion and a rear surface that forms an acute angle from the columnar portion.
Here, the top and bottom surfaces that form an obtuse angle from the columnar portion mean a surface that is located at the top and bottom of the holder and that is gently continuous with the surface forming the columnar portion when observed in a cross section along the vertical direction. .
In this case, the flat sheet can be moved up and down along the columnar portion of the holder, and the height relationship where the engaging portion of the flat sheet engages with the engaging portion of the holder, and the engaging portion of the flat sheet is It can be moved between height relationships that do not engage the engaging portion. When the height relationship for engagement is adjusted, the locking portion of the flat sheet abuts against the rear surface of the engaging portion of the holder, and the locking portion can be prevented from being inadvertently detached from the engaging portion. When the height relationship is adjusted so as not to engage, the flat sheet can be removed from the holder.

It can also be said that the present invention provides a flat sheet that provides a shape imitating a product by supporting it with a holder installed in a vending machine.
The flat sheet provided in the present invention is formed of a flexible sheet that can be bent into a shape that follows the curved peripheral surface of the product, and the product having the curved peripheral surface is viewed from the front. A shape obtained by developing the shape into a flat surface is printed, and a locking portion is formed at a position along each side. A curved posture can be maintained by engaging the engaging portion with the engaging portion formed on each columnar portion of the holder having a pair of columnar portions.
The shape obtained by developing the shape of the product having a curved peripheral surface when viewed from the front may be a shape taken by a camera from the front of the actual product. Alternatively, when the image is taken with a camera, the front part appears larger and the smaller the distance toward the side, the effect may be corrected.

The flat sheet may be rectangular or the upper side may be arcuate. However, the upper side is preferably arcuate.
When supporting in a curved posture on the side of the flat sheet, it tends to return to a flat shape above the position positioned by engaging with the holder, and approaches a flat curvature toward the top. If the side of the flat sheet extends straight, it approaches a flat curvature toward the top, so the side widens in the width direction toward the top, giving the consumer a sense of discomfort. Because it will end up. Here, the upper part means an upper part than the locking part located at the uppermost part.
By reducing the upper width of the flat sheet, the side of the flat sheet does not spread in the width direction even if the upper part of the locking part is unbent and approaches a flat curvature. This is because it does not give a sense of incongruity to consumers.

Further, in the present invention, the product sample printed on the flat sheet is a plastic bottle beverage, and a value obtained by dividing the width of the cap part printed on the flat sheet by the actual width of the cap part is a bottle printed on the flat sheet. It is preferable that the width of the portion is smaller than a value obtained by dividing the width of the portion by the actual width of the bottle portion.
When this flat sheet is used, a visual effect such that the cap portion is on the back side of the bottle portion is generated by the plastic bottle sample printed on the flat sheet.

More preferably, shadows are printed on both shoulder portions of the plastic bottle beverage printed on the flat sheet.
By providing the shadow, the plastic bottle sample printed on the flat sheet produces a visual effect such that the cap portion is on the back side of the bottle portion.

  According to the invention disclosed in this specification, by using a non-molded flat sheet, for example, a shape simulating a product having a three-dimensional curved surface that is bent in at least two directions like a plastic bottle beverage. Can be provided. The date and time required for manufacturing the product sample can be greatly shortened, the product sample can be manufactured at low cost, and a large number of product samples can be accommodated in a compact manner. Further, a plurality of types of product samples having different shapes can be provided with the same holder, and products with different heights and thicknesses can be handled. The product sample can be easily replaced without replacing the holder.

Preferred features of the invention disclosed herein are listed.
(1st characteristic) A latching | locking part is formed by cutting out a plane sheet in the position along the right-and-left both sides of a plane sheet.
(2nd characteristic) A latching | locking part is formed by providing the cut | interruption which does not cut out a plane sheet completely in the position along the right-and-left both sides of a plane sheet.
(3rd characteristic) A latching | locking part and an engaging part are provided in the upper and lower two places of the both sides of a plane sheet and a holder.
(4th characteristic) Although the latching | locking part of a planar sheet | seat and the engaging part of a holder restrain that a planar sheet | seat moves to the near side from the back with respect to a holder, they are not restrained to an up-down direction.
(5th characteristic) The upper side of a plane sheet is made into circular arc shape.

  FIG. 1 shows a first example of a vending machine product sample composed of a flat sheet 10 and a holder 12. The flat sheet 10 is formed of a flexible resin sheet, and the appearance of a plastic bottle beverage or a can beverage is printed on the surface. The appearance shape may be a shape taken with a camera from the front of the actual product. Alternatively, when the image is taken with a camera, the front part appears larger and the smaller the distance toward the side, the effect may be corrected. In FIG. 1, the planar sheet 10 has a curved shape, but the planar sheet 10 is developed in a plane unless an external force is applied. Locking portions 20 are formed at positions along the left and right sides 10 a of the flat sheet 10. The locking part 20 is an opening formed by cutting out the sheet forming the flat sheet 10. The latching | locking part 20 is formed in the outer side of the width direction of the external appearance shape of the printed goods. The upper side of the flat sheet 10 has an arc shape, and becomes thinner toward the upper end. The resin sheet forming the flat sheet 10 has moderate flexibility and can be bent to a radius of curvature along the peripheral surface of the PET bottle.

  The holder 12 includes a bottom portion 14 and a pair of columnar portions 16. A flange 15 is formed on the front portion of the bottom portion 14 along the outer periphery. The pair of columnar portions 16 rises in a direction orthogonal to the bottom portion 14 from a position facing each other across the diameter of the bottom portion 14. The columnar portion 16 includes an outer wall 16a and an inner wall 16b. The inner wall 16 b is directly connected to the bottom portion 14 and is connected to a low wall 16 c extending along the flange 15 of the bottom portion 14. When viewed from vertically above, the low wall 16c is curved following the peripheral surface of the plastic bottle. The outer wall 16a is formed along the outer peripheral surface of the inner wall 16b so as to be bent from the rear side of the inner wall 16b. An engaging portion 18 is formed on the inner portion of the outer wall 16a. In FIG. 1, the engaging portion 18 existing on the right column upper portion is omitted, but the engaging portions 18 are provided at two upper and lower portions as in the left column upper portion.

FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the engaging portion 18. The engaging portion 18 has a wedge shape having a front surface 40 that forms an obtuse angle with the inner surface 25 of the outer wall 16a and a rear surface 42 that forms an acute angle with the inner surface 25 of the outer wall 16a.
Since the front surface 40 having an obtuse angle is provided, when the side of the flat sheet 10 is inserted between the outer wall 16a and the inner wall 16b, the side of the flat sheet 10 passes over the engaging portion 18 and extends to the back side. Inserted. As a result, the wedge-shaped engaging portion 18 enters the opening forming the locking portion 20. When the engaging portion 18 enters the locking portion 20, the rear surface 42 of the engaging portion 18 forms an acute angle with the inner surface 25 of the outer wall 16 a, so that the wedge-shaped engaging portion 18 constitutes the locking portion 20. Never get out of the opening. The flat sheet 10 is maintained in a curved posture by the holder 12 and does not come off carelessly. When removing the flat sheet 10 from the holder, as shown in FIG. 6, the flat sheet 10 is pushed in from the state held by the holder 12 (FIG. 6A). Then, the opening which comprises the latching | locking part 20 moves further back than the engaging part 18, and the plane sheet 10 contacts the top part of the engaging part 18 (FIG.6 (b)). That is, the wedge-shaped engaging portion 18 comes out of the opening that constitutes the locking portion 20. If it will be in this state, the plane sheet 10 can be moved upwards with respect to the holder 12 (FIG.6 (c)). When the flat sheet 10 is moved forward with respect to the holder 12 at that height, the flat sheet 10 can be removed from the holder 12 (FIG. 6D).

  Next, a usage pattern of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is shown. The flat sheet 10 is bent into a semi-cylindrical shape with the front surface on which the product sample is printed. The left and right sides of the curved flat sheet 10 are inserted between the outer wall 16a and the inner wall 16b. Then, the engaging portion 18 enters the locking portion 20, and the flat sheet 10 is maintained in a curved posture by the holder 12. The flat sheet 10 is curved along the low wall 16c and curved in a shape that follows the actual peripheral surface of the plastic bottle.

  The engaging part 18 is required to satisfy the following conditions when the flat sheet 10 is held by the holder 12. 1. It is necessary that the flat sheet 10 does not move forward. This is to prevent the flat sheet from being easily detached from the holder by vibration. 2. It is necessary to be able to remove the flat sheet 10 in the vertical direction. This is to make it easy to exchange product samples. 3. It is necessary that the flat sheet can be held by the holder in a state of being bent into a semi-cylindrical shape. This is because the visual effect of the product sample is exhibited. The engaging part 18 satisfies the above conditions.

In FIG. 3, the perspective view of 2nd Example of the engaging part 36 is shown. The engaging portion 36 of this structure forms an obtuse angle with the front surface 30 that forms an obtuse angle with the inner surface 25 of the outer wall 16a, a rear surface 32 that forms an acute angle with the inner surface 25 of the outer wall 16a, and the inner surface 25 of the outer wall 16a. It has a lower surface 34.
The engaging portion 36 of this structure allows the locking portion 20 of the flat sheet 10 to move from the front to the rear with respect to the holder 12, prohibits the movement from the rear to the front, and moves upward. Allow to do.
When the flat sheet 10 is set in the holder 12, the left and right sides of the flat sheet 10 are pushed into the gap between the outer wall 16a and the inner wall 16b. Then, the engaging portion 36 is inserted into the opening that constitutes the locking portion 20, and the flat sheet 10 is prevented from being carelessly removed from the engaging portion 36. When removing the planar sheet 10 from the holder 12, the planar sheet 10 is slid upward along the columnar portion 16 of the holder 12. Since the lower surface 34 of the holder 12 forms an obtuse angle with the inner surface 25, when the planar sheet 10 is slid upward along the columnar portion of the holder 12, the engaging portion 36 is released from the opening that constitutes the locking portion 20. Get out. The engaging portion 36 allows the flat sheet 10 to move upward. If the flat sheet 10 is taken out in a state where the opening forming the locking part 20 and the engaging part 36 have different heights, the flat sheet 10 can be removed from the holder 12.

  FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the third embodiment of the engaging portion 56 of the holder 12. The engaging portion 56 having this structure is a modification of the engaging portion 18 of the first embodiment, and the front surface 50 is a curved surface curved outward. In the case of this structure, the flat sheet can be removed from the holder by the same procedure as in the first embodiment.

FIG. 5 shows a perspective view of the fourth embodiment of the engaging portion 66 of the holder 12. The engaging portion 66 having this structure is formed with a curved surface 60 that is curved from above to below. Both the upper surface and the lower surface of the curved surface 60 form an obtuse angle with the inner surface 25 of the outer wall 16a. The front surface 62 and the rear surface 63 of the engaging portion 66 are orthogonal to the inner surface 25.
When the flat sheet 10 is set in the holder 12, the opening and the engaging part 66 constituting the locking part 20 are set to have different height relations, and the left and right sides of the flat sheet 10 are set to the outer wall 16a. Are pushed into the gap between the inner wall 16b and the plane sheet 10 is moved up and down to align the height of the opening and the engaging portion 66 constituting the locking portion 20. The engaging portion 66 allows the flat sheet 10 to move up and down. When the height of the opening constituting the locking part 20 and the height of the engaging part 66 are aligned, the engaging part 66 is inserted into the hole constituting the locking part 20, and the flat sheet 10 is not prepared from the engaging part 66. Is prevented from coming off. When removing the flat sheet 10 from the holder 12, the flat sheet 10 is slid upward along the columnar portion of the holder 12. Since the upper and lower surfaces 60 of the holder 12 form an obtuse angle with the inner surface 25, the engaging portion 66 allows the flat sheet 10 to move upward. The flat sheet 10 can be removed from the holder 12 if the flat sheet 10 is taken out in a state where the opening and the engaging part 66 constituting the locking part 20 have different heights.

The columnar portion 16 of the holder 12 may be any shape as long as it can maintain the flat sheet in a curved state, and can take various shapes.
FIG. 7 shows a top view of the columnar portion of the first embodiment (the holder bottom is omitted. The same applies to FIGS. 8 to 10 below). The columnar portion of this shape is formed in a direction in which the outer wall 16 a is perpendicular to the diameter of the holder bottom portion 14. In this case, both side surfaces of the curved flat sheet are also held in a direction perpendicular to the diameter of the holder bottom.

  In FIG. 8, the figure which looked at the columnar part of 2nd Example from upper direction is shown. In the columnar portion having this shape, the outer wall 16a and the inner wall 16b are curved with the same curvature. In this case, both side surfaces of the curved flat sheet are held in an arc shape that is open with respect to the depth direction of the holder.

  In FIG. 9, the figure which looked at the columnar part of 3rd Example from upper direction is shown. The columnar portion having this shape is composed of only the outer wall 16a and the back wall 16d. The flat sheet held in a curved state is prohibited from moving further in the back direction by the back wall 16d.

  In FIG. 10, the figure which looked at the columnar part of 4th Example from upper direction is shown. The columnar portion having this shape is composed of only the outer wall 16a, and the inner side and the inner side are open. Even in this shape, the flat sheet can be maintained in a curved posture.

  In FIG. 11, the Example of the latching | locking part 70 formed in the plane sheet 10 is shown. The locking portion 70 is formed by an aperture hole cut out in a rectangular shape. When the flat sheet is set in the holder, the engaging portion and the engaging portion are securely engaged.

  FIG. 12 shows another embodiment of the locking portion 80 formed on the flat sheet 10. Although not completely cut out, the locking portion 80 is formed by a cut extending in a substantially rectangular shape. Since the sheet inside the cut is easily folded, the engaging portion can be inserted into the locking portion 80. When the flat sheet 10 is manufactured, cutout pieces are not generated.

  It is preferable that the flat sheet has an arcuate upper side and the width decreases as it goes upward. FIG. 13 shows an example in which a rectangular planar sheet is bent into a semi-cylindrical shape. As it goes upward from the locking portion, the force for curving the flat sheet becomes weaker, and as shown in FIG. Therefore, when viewed from the front, it exhibits an unnatural appearance that expands as the width of the flat sheet increases.

  FIG. 14 shows an example in which a flat sheet whose width is reduced toward the upper side because the upper side has an arc shape is curved. Since the width becomes smaller toward the upper side, even if the width becomes closer to the flat side toward the upper side, an unnatural appearance that expands as the width of the flat sheet moves upward is not exhibited.

  Next, the printing width when printing a product sample on a flat sheet will be described. When the flat sheet is held by the holder, the width printed on the flat sheet as a product sample must be larger than the actual product width in order to hold the flat sheet. FIG. 15 shows a real plastic bottle as viewed from above. The width of the cap part 95 is d1, and the width of the bottle part 90 is d2. Furthermore, the figure which looked at the plastic bottle sample printed on the plane sheet 10 from FIG. 16 from the front is shown. The printing width of the cap portion 105 is w1, and the printing width of the bottle portion 100 is w2. In the case of this embodiment, the relationship of w1 / d1 <w2 / d2 is adjusted. That is, the value w1 / d1 obtained by dividing the width w1 of the cap portion printed on the flat sheet by the width d1 of the actual cap portion is the width w2 of the bottle portion printed on the flat sheet by the width d2 of the actual bottle portion. It is smaller than the divided value w2 / d2. For this reason, when the product sample of the PET bottle printed on the flat sheet is curved, a visual effect that the cap portion is on the back side of the bottle portion is generated as in the actual PET bottle.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 16, shadows 108 are printed on both shoulder portions of the plastic bottle product sample printed on the flat sheet. This produces a visual effect in which the plastic bottle product sample can be seen three-dimensionally.

  FIG. 17 and FIG. 18 illustrate two types of flat sheets on which PET bottle product samples 110 and 120 having different heights are printed. FIG. 19 illustrates a flat sheet on which a product sample of a narrow can beverage 130 is printed. In this way, flat sheets for different products on which product samples having different heights and widths are printed can be held by the same holder.
