Description

  The present invention relates to a synthetic resin card holder (card case) used by being attached to a holder holding hook of a commodity display hook.

  In stores and the like, hooks for hanging and displaying products are often used. As one aspect of this product display hook, there is a two-stage type in which a product hanging hook (lower hook) and a holder holding hook (upper hook) for attaching a card holder (card case) are integrated. Is commonly called a ten-hand hook.

  In this ten-hand hook, the holder holding hook has a horizontal portion and an upright portion bent at the tip thereof, while the card holder has a plate portion for holding cards and a bracket portion provided on the back surface thereof. The bracket portion is attached to the front end portion of the holder holding hook.

  In the case of a simple structure, the bracket portion has a hole in which the upright portion of the holder holding hook is fitted, and one groove that is fitted into the horizontal portion of the holder holding hook from above, and the plate portion of the card holder is The posture is perpendicular to the horizontal portion of the holder holding hook. However, in such a structure that can take only one posture, it is difficult to visually recognize cards when the flow of people in the store has directionality, or the minimum horizontal distance between adjacent hooks is the width of the plate part. Therefore, there is a problem that even if the width of the product is smaller than the width of the plate portion, the product cannot be packed and displayed and a dead space is generated.

  Therefore, it has been proposed that the posture of the card holder can be changed. As an example, in Patent Document 1, three grooves that fit into the horizontal portion are formed in a method of fitting from the top into the front end portion of the holder holding hook. Thus, a configuration is disclosed in which three postures can be selected. However, in the configuration of Patent Document 1, when changing the posture, the card holder must be lifted once and then moved downward to change the groove into the horizontal portion, so that the work is troublesome. is there.

  On the other hand, in Patent Documents 2 to 4, the bracket portion of the card holder is divided into an upper holding portion that fits into the standing portion of the holder holding hook and a lower holding portion that comes into contact with the horizontal portion of the holder holding hook from below. Separately, the lower holding part is formed with a plurality of engaging parts that engage with and disengage from the horizontal part of the holder holding hook against the elasticity, so that the posture can be changed simply by rotating. The configuration is disclosed.

  As a means for fitting the upright portion of the holder holding hook into the upper holding portion, in Patent Document 2, the upper holding portion is formed with a slit groove that opens in the same direction as the plate portion in plan view. In No. 3, the upper holding portion is formed with a slit groove that opens rearward and is orthogonal to the plate portion in plan view. On the other hand, in Patent Document 4, the lower holding portion is separated into two left and right support pieces, and the elastic deformation of the left and right support pieces is achieved by making the distance between the left and right support pieces smaller than the outer diameter of the holder holding hook. The horizontal part of the holder holding hook is set so as to pass through the space between the left and right support pieces.

  Therefore, in Patent Documents 2 and 3, the upper holding part of the card holder is fitted into the upright part of the holder holding hook by movement from a direction orthogonal thereto, and in Patent Document 4, as in Patent Document 1. In addition, the holder holding hook is fitted from above (from the axial direction).

Japanese Utility Model 6-66420 CD-ROM JP-A-11-206524 JP 2016-167 A JP, 2006-63873, A

  When the product is displayed, the plate part of the card holder is changed to a posture orthogonal to the horizontal part of the holder holding hook and an inclined posture in plan view, and the plate part is parallel to the horizontal part of the holder holding hook. Do not use in a pose. Therefore, as in Patent Document 2, when the slit groove of the upper holding portion is opened in a horizontal direction parallel to the plate portion, the position of the engaging portion and the position of the slit groove for maintaining the posture in the use state are determined. Since they are different, there is an advantage that attachment to the holder holding hook can be performed without impairing the posture holding function in use.

  Moreover, in patent document 2, since the lower holding part is arrange | positioned on the outer side of the upper holding part by planar view, when manufacturing with an injection molding method, manufacturing with the metal mold | die (cavity and core) which adheres and separates. Can do. Therefore, there is an advantage that the manufacturing cost can be suppressed.

  On the other hand, in Patent Document 3, since the lower holding part is disposed outside the upper holding part in a plan view, the manufacturing mold can be simplified as in Patent Document 1, but the upper holding part opens backward. Therefore, there is a problem that the mounting is troublesome because the upper holding part has to be spread and fitted into the standing part of the holder holding hook in a state where the lower holding part is pushed downward to be deformed.

  Further, regarding Patent Document 3, since the upper holding part is separated into two parts on the left and right sides, there is a small deformation allowance when fitted into the standing part of the holder holding hook, and a large force is required for the deformation. In addition to requiring a large force to spread the upper holding portion, it is also necessary to push and bend the lower holding portion. Therefore, it can be said that a considerably large force is required for mounting. In addition, in Patent Document 3, when the card holder is horizontally rotated against the elasticity of the lower holding portion, the lower holding portion does not deform and the upper holding portion spreads and deforms, and the upper holding portion becomes the holder holding hook. There is also concern that there will be a situation where it comes off from the standing part.

  In Patent Document 4, it can be said that, when attaching to the holder holding hook, only the support piece constituting the lower holding part is bent and deformed. However, since the upper holding part and the lower holding part are overlapped, a slide mold is required for manufacturing, and there is a problem that the cost increases accordingly. Furthermore, if a pushing force is applied to the card holder from below, there is a concern that the card holder may come off from the holder holding hook.

  The present invention has been made to improve the current situation.

  The card holder according to the present invention has a plate portion for holding cards and a bracket portion provided on the back side of the plate portion, and the bracket portion stands at the front end of the horizontal portion. It is a basic configuration that can be attached to a holder holding hook provided with a portion.

  The bracket portion is located on the outside of the outer periphery of the upper holding portion in plan view, and supports the horizontal portion of the holder holding hook from below, as viewed from above. A lower holding portion in the form of an enclosure frame, and engages with the horizontal portion of the holder holding hook on at least one of the lower surface of the upper holding portion and the upper surface of the lower holding portion to take a posture. A plurality of engaging portions to be held are formed in the circumferential direction.

  Further, the standing portion of the holder holding hook is held upward by rotating the plate portion from a posture in which the standing portion of the holder holding hook is inserted horizontally between the upper and lower holding portions to a posture parallel to the standing portion. The lower holding portion is bent downward and can be deformed so that the posture change of the plate portion is allowed.

  In addition, “to fit into the upright part from above” with respect to the upper holding part means that it is based on the use state in which the upright part of the holder holding hook is upward (vertical). The card holder can be fitted sideways, the card holder can be fitted while moving both the holder holding hook and the card holder, or the card holder can be fixed and the holder holding hook can be moved to fit.

  The invention of the present application also includes the structure of claim 2, and in the invention of claim 1, the plate portion includes a back plate integrally formed with the bracket portion and a front plate integrally connected to the back plate. And side ribs located on both left and right sides of the back plate are provided at both left and right ends of the front plate, and the plate portion and the bracket portion are entirely transparent.

  In the present invention, it is possible to insert the upright portion of the holder holding hook into the upper holding portion mainly using the elastic deformation of the lower holding portion. Since it can be performed by a movement that rotates around the fulcrum (or a movement that rotates the hook), the rotation operation can be performed with a strong force by firmly grasping the card holder. For this reason, even when the lower holding portion is greatly deformed, the attachment can be easily performed. After being attached to the holder holding hook, the horizontal portion of the holder holding hook is sandwiched between the upper holding portion and the lower holding portion, so that the card holder is firmly held in an arbitrary posture.

  And similarly to patent document 2, since the lower holding | maintenance part is arrange | positioned on the outer side of the upper holding | maintenance part, the slide type | mold for shaping | molding of an upper holding | maintenance part and a lower holding | maintenance part is unnecessary, and simplifies a metal | mold so much Cost.

  If the structure of Claim 2 is employ | adopted, since the whole becomes an integrally molded product, manufacturing cost can be reduced significantly.

(A) is a front perspective view, (B) is a left side view, (C) is a front view, (D) is a perspective view from below, and (E) is a longitudinal side view after contraction. It is a rear view. It is a vertical side view which shows the initial state of an attachment procedure. (A) is the vertical side view in the middle of rotating the card holder, (B) is the vertical side view after attachment. (A) is a rear perspective view of a modification, (B) is a longitudinal side view of another modification, and (C) is a longitudinal side view of still another modification.

(1). Structure Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The card holder is made of synthetic resin and is transparent as a whole, and is composed of a plate portion 1 for holding a price card C on which a product name, price, barcode, etc. are displayed, and a bracket portion 2 provided on the back surface thereof. . The plate portion 1 has a front plate 3 and a back plate 4 that are integrally connected at the lower end, and the bracket portion 2 is integrally formed on the back plate 4.

  The left and right widths of the back plate 4 are slightly smaller than the left and right widths of the front plate 3, and side ribs 5 that are located on the left and right sides of the back plate 4 are provided so as to protrude rearward. For this reason, even if the price card C is only inserted from above, it does not come off. Further, a pair of left and right bulging portions 6 are formed on the rear surface and the upper portion of the front plate 3 at a low height, and the price card C is pressed against the back plate 4 by the bulging portions 6.

  A semicircular cutout 7 is formed at the upper end of the back plate 4 to facilitate removal of the price card C. Note that there are several types of price cards C having different left and right widths. For this reason, card holders are often prepared with several types having different left and right widths of the plate portion 1.

  The bracket portion 2 is attached to the front end portion (tip portion) of the holder holding hook 8 in a two-stage hook (ten-hand hook) for displaying products, and is fitted on the upright portion 8 a of the holder holding hook 8. The holding portion 9 and a lower holding portion 10 that supports the horizontal portion 8b of the holder holding hook 8 from below are formed.

  The upper holding portion 9 holds the upright portion 8a in a state where there is no backlash or almost no backlash. On the other hand, the lower holding part 10 has a frame shape (semicircular shape) surrounding the upper holding part 9 from the outside in a plan view, and the upper holding part 9 is located inside the lower holding part 10 in a plan view. Yes. For this reason, the card holder can be manufactured by using a pair of molds that move relative to each other in the axial direction of the upper holding portion 9 and adhere to and separate from each other (however, the back of the back plate 4 is imprinted). If you apply, you will need a slide mold for that.)

  The horizontal portion 8b of the holder holding hook 8 is sandwiched between the upper holding portion 9 and the lower holding portion 10, but in this embodiment, the lower portion of the upper holding portion 9 is engaged with the horizontal portion 8b of the holder holding hook 8. A plurality of engaging recesses are formed in the circumferential direction. That is, in plan view, one of the center positions orthogonal to the plate portion 1 is defined as the first engagement recess 11a, and the second engagement recess 11b and the third engagement are provided on both sides thereof at intervals of about 30 degrees. A recess 11c and a fourth engagement recess 11d are formed.

  With any of the engagement recesses 11a to 11d fitted into the horizontal portion 8b of the holder holding hook 8, the engagement recesses 11a to 11d are in close contact with or in contact with the horizontal portion 8b, and the card holder When a certain level of horizontal rotational force is applied, the lower holding portion 10 bends downward and deforms, and a mountain between adjacent engaging recesses gets over the horizontal portion 8 b of the holder holding hook 8.

  Accordingly, the card holder is horizontally rotated against the elastic force of the lower holding portion 10, and the first to third engagement recesses 11 a to 11 c are selectively engaged with the horizontal portion 8 b of the holder holding hook 8. Thus, the posture of the plate portion 1 can be changed at intervals of 30 degrees from a reference posture orthogonal to the horizontal portion 8b of the holder holding hook 8 to a posture inclined left or right. In a state where the fourth engaging recess 11d is fitted in the horizontal portion 8b of the holder holding hook 8, the plate portion 1 is parallel to the horizontal portion 8b of the holder holding hook 8, so display in this parallel posture. There is no. This parallel posture is used when packing and storing the card holder and hook unit.

  The arrangement of the engagement recess can be arbitrarily set. For example, it is possible to select a reference posture orthogonal to the horizontal portion 8b of the holder holding hook 8 and a posture inclined at 30 degrees to either the left or right, change to a reference posture and a posture inclined 45 degrees, or Various modes can be selected such that the posture can be changed at intervals of 15 degrees. Engaging means such as an engagement recess may be formed on the upper surface of the lower holding portion 10, or may be formed on both the lower surface of the upper holding portion 9 and the upper surface of the lower holding portion 10.

  For example, in FIG. 5 (B), the space | interval of the front board 3 and the back board 4 has spread upward, and drawings other than FIG.2 (E) are the same forms as FIG.5 (B). . Thus, the form in which the space between the front plate 3 and the back plate 4 is widened upward is a form on the drawing of the mold, and is in such a form when taken out from the mold. However, as time passes, the resin shrinks and contracts, the front plate 3 falls toward the back plate 4 and deforms, and the front plate 3 and the back plate 4 become parallel as shown in FIG. In addition, the upper end portion of the front plate 3 often abuts or approaches the upper end portion of the back plate 4. Therefore, the price card C can be held between the front plate 3 and the back plate 4. Since the front plate 3 can be expanded to the front against the elasticity of the base portion, there is no inconvenience for inserting the price card C.

  A downwardly expanding taper portion 12 is formed in the lower portion of the inner periphery of the upper holding portion 9. In addition, relief holes 13 are formed in the left and right intermediate portions of the connecting portion between the front plate 3 and the back plate 4. When the escape hole 13 is formed in this way, molding shrinkage occurs uniformly, so that the generation of distortion due to uneven molding shrinkage is prevented, and the gap between the front plate 3 and the back plate 4 is equalized over the entire left and right. The upper end portion of the front plate 3 can be brought into contact with the upper holding portion 9 as a whole. Therefore, high quality can be ensured.

(2) Attachment to holder holding hook The card holder is attached to the holder holding hook 8 according to the procedure shown in FIGS. That is, first, as shown in FIG. 4, the portion between the upper holding portion 9 and the lower holding portion 10 is fitted into the upright portion 8a of the holder holding hook 8, and then, as shown in FIG. The entire card holder is moved so as to slide along the curve of the bending of the holder holding hook 8 and is rotated downward mainly against the elasticity of the lower holding part 10 to thereby hold the upper holding part 9 in the holder. The holding hook 8 is fitted into the upright portion 8a.

  This rotation operation can be performed in a state where the card holder is firmly grasped by hand, and since a large force can be easily applied to the lower holding portion 10 by lever action, the card holder can be attached to the holder holding hook 8. Easy to do. When the upper holding portion 9 is fitted into the upright portion 8a of the holder holding hook 8, the horizontal portion 8b of the holder holding hook 8 is in a posture orthogonal to the upper holding portion 9, so that the lower holding portion 10 is restored to its original by elastic force. The posture is restored, and the horizontal portion 8b of the holder holding hook 8 is sandwiched between the lower holding portion 10 and the lower holding portion 10 from above and below. Moreover, in this embodiment, since the front-end | tip of the standing part 8a has contacted the back plate at the beginning of attachment, rotation operation can be performed correctly by using the front-end | tip of the standing part 8a as a fulcrum.

(3). Modified Example FIG. 6 shows a modified example considering the ease of attachment to the holder holding hook 8. Of these, in the example shown in (A), by forming only the portion of the back plate 4 located in front of the upper holding portion 9 in the thin portion 12, the standing portion 8a of the holder holding hook 8 can be easily fitted. (The left-right width of the thin portion 14 is sufficient to be several mm). Further, the upper and lower thicknesses of the upper holding portion 9 are also reduced to facilitate deformation.

  In the modification shown in FIG. 6B, as the deformation facilitating means, first, a slit groove 15 that opens downward is formed in the left and right intermediate portion of the lower holding portion 10. If the slit 15 is formed in this way, the lower part of the lower holding part 10 expands and deforms, so that the deformation amount of the lower holding part 10 can be suppressed. The vertical height of the slit groove 15 can be set arbitrarily, and may be formed over the entire top and bottom as indicated by the alternate long and short dash line. If the upper holding part 9 is formed in such a manner that it is cut open up and down in this way, the amount of elastic deformation of the upper holding part 9 can be further increased, so that the attachment becomes easier.

  As indicated by a dotted line, it is also possible to divide one of the left and right roots of the lower holding portion 10 with a side slit 16 to form the lower holding portion 10 in a cantilever manner. Also in this case, since the upper holding portion 9 can be greatly deformed when attached to the holder holding hook 8, the attachment can be facilitated. Since the width of the side slit 16 is much smaller than the outer diameter of the upright portion 8a, there is no problem in the holding function of the upright portion 8a in use.

  It is also possible to form the side slit 16 in an open state only downward without forming it over the entire height of the upper holding portion 9. It is also possible to form a plurality of slit grooves that open downward in a circumferential direction.

  In FIG. 6 (B), a center slit 17 that further divides the lower holding portion 10 into left and right is formed as means for facilitating attachment. As described above, when the center slit 17 is formed in the lower holding portion 10, the left and right support portions of the lower holding portion 10 are in a cantilever state and are easily deformed markedly, which is particularly beneficial for improving the ease of mounting. It is. The groove width of the center slit 17 is preferably as small as possible so that the horizontal portion 8b of the holder holding hook 8 does not escape during mounting. The center slit 17 also functions as an engaging means for holding the card holder in the reference posture.

  The thinning shown in (A) and the slit groove 15 and the slits 16 and 17 shown in (B) may be employed individually or in any combination (however, the upper holding portion 9 is slit). Forming the groove 15 over the entire height and forming the side slit 16 over the entire height cannot be used in combination.)

  In the example shown in FIG. 6C, first, the lower holding portion 10 is formed in a cantilever state by separating one end portion of the lower holding portion 10 from the back plate 4. For this reason, a space 18 is vacant between one end of the lower holding portion 10 and the back plate 4. The space 18 is preferably as small as possible.

  Further, by separating the upper holding portion 9 from the back plate 4 on the other end side of the lower holding portion 10, the upper holding portion 9 is also formed in a cantilever shape. Accordingly, a space 19 is also vacant between the other end of the upper holding portion 9 and the back plate 4.

  In this example, the attachment to the holder holding hook 8 is performed in a posture in which the plate part 1 is substantially parallel to the upright part 8a, but the lower holding part 10 can be greatly bent and deformed, and the upper holding part Since 9 also spreads and can be deformed, attachment to the holder holding hook 8 can be performed more easily. It is also possible to form only the lower holding part 10 in a cantilever shape. When both are formed in a cantilever shape, the spaces 18 and 19 may be formed on the same side.

  Furthermore, in the state of FIG. 6, the space 18 of the lower holding portion 10 is formed on the right side, but may be formed on the left side. When the holder holding hook 8 is inserted between the upper and lower holding parts 9 and 10 in the part of the upper holding part 9 opposite to the space 18 of the lower holding part 10, the stopper part with which the tip hits is directed downward. It is also possible to project it.

  The embodiment of the present invention has been described above, but the present invention can be embodied in various ways. For example, the front plate constituting the plate portion can be formed separately from the back plate. In this case, the back plate and the bracket portion do not need to be transparent. When the entire card holder is integrally formed, the front plate and the back plate can be integrally connected at the side portion. Alternatively, the front plate and the back plate may be integrally connected at the left and right side portions, and a stopper rib for holding the cards so as not to fall can be provided at the lower end of the front plate or the back plate or both.

  Furthermore, it is also possible to form the plate portion as a simple flat plate not provided with a front plate and to attach a price card to the front surface thereof. Furthermore, an electronic tag can be attached to the plate portion, and in this case, the electronic tag is included in the concept of cards.

  In the embodiment, the upper holding portion 9 is generally circular in plan view and the lower holding portion 10 has a semicircular shape, and the upper holding portion 9 and the lower holding portion 10 have a similar shape in plan view. However, for example, the upper holding portion 9 may be formed in a circular shape, and the lower holding portion 10 may be formed in a non-similar shape, for example, in a plan view square shape (U shape) or a U shape. The size of the gap between the upper holding part and the lower holding part in a plan view can be arbitrarily set (the gap can be made zero or can be formed with a large play). is there.).

  The present invention can be embodied in a card holder. Therefore, it can be used industrially.
