Description

POS RAIL {POS RAIL}

The present invention relates to a multifunctional point of sale rail capable of displaying three types of large cards, small cards, and electronic tags mounted on a rail section of a front end of a merchandise display shelf.

Currently, most of the POS rails are attached to the rail section of the front end of the merchandise display shelf. The POS rail can display the price with a paper larger than the width of the rail portion of the front end of the merchandise display shelf, and can also display a POP (point of purpose), thereby producing excellent merchandise display. Moreover, since the partition plate engaging groove is normally formed in the back of a POS rail, a product partition function can also be provided and it is very preferable.

On the other hand, in recent years, the electronic tag which displays the price of the display goods of a merchandise display shelf on a liquid crystal display is spreading rapidly. If an electronic tag is systemized in a store, even if the price of a product changes, it can be changed from a personal computer, which can overwhelmingly reduce the effort associated with changing the price display, thereby reducing costs.

The conventional electronic tag was attached to the display holder which can adjust display angle freely, and the display holder which attached the electronic tag was attached to the rail part of the front end of a merchandise display shelf (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-312221). ). This is because the electronic tag by the liquid crystal display is difficult to see in an oblique position, and visibility is strictly required, and therefore it is necessary to adjust the angle of the surface according to the height of the display shelf.

However, the POS rail cannot be utilized when the display holder with the electronic tag mounted directly on the rail of the merchandise display shelf. On the contrary, when a POS rail is used, there exists a problem that mounting of the display holder which attached the electronic tag is not possible. In addition, since one display holder is required for one electronic tag, there is a problem that the cost of the electronic tag display is increased. In addition, since an electronic tag has a thickness, after attaching it to the rail part of a product display shelf, an electronic tag touches a shopping cart and a shopper, it may slide sideways, and there was a problem that the display of the product was not performed correctly. . In addition, since the POS rail has an excellent effect of producing the POP display, two types of cards are often displayed by adding more transparent cards, but in this case, two types of management of the POS rail and the transparent card case are performed. There is a problem that management costs are increased.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a POS rail that enables the attachment of an electronic tag and the attachment of two kinds of POP cards. Another simple method is to provide a POS rail which can adjust the display angle.

That is, this invention solves the said subject and is a POS rail mounted to the rail part of the front end of a merchandise display shelf which consists of a front member and the rear member connected in the upper part by the flexible hinge, The front The member is formed by joining two plate members of substantially the same shape to face each other and overlapping each other at a lower end, and forming a small card insertion groove having an upper opening, while the upper part of the two plate members is larger than the upper part of the front member. A U-shaped cross-sectional shape member, in which an upper member serving as an upper bending member into which an upper edge of a card is inserted, and an electronic tag formed at the rear and lower side from the lower ends of these two plate-shaped members are mounted. At the front end of the lower member of the member, a lower bending piece and a lower support piece of the electronic tag are formed from the front end side, and the hook between the two pieces It is made of a lower member the lower edge of the large card flow into the groove for insertion, a back member, to provide a POS rail comprising the fastening member of the Shape to be mounted on the rail portion.

According to the POS rail of the present invention, one kind of POS rail enables three types of display of large cards, small cards, and electronic tags. For this reason, since the display holder conventionally required is unnecessary, when many electronic tags are used for one POS rail, installation cost can be reduced. Moreover, since the transparent card case becomes unnecessary, inventory management becomes easy. If a friction member is formed on the bottom surface of the U-shaped cross-section member on which the electronic tag is installed, even if the electronic tag contacts the shopping cart or the shopper, the tag does not slip to the side and product display is correctly performed.

Next, the POS rail in 1st Embodiment of this invention is demonstrated with reference to FIGS. 1 is a perspective view of a POS rail of this example, FIG. 2 is a side view of the POS rail of FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a side view of a POS rail mounted to a rail portion of a merchandise display shelf, and FIG. 4 is mounted to another rail portion of a merchandise display shelf. The side view of the completed POS rail, FIG. 5 shows the use state diagram of a POS rail. In the present specification, the "front" refers to the customer side, the "rear" refers to the opposite direction, and the "upper" (upper side) refers to the position of the state where the POS rail is attached to the rail unit.

The POS rail 10 is made of resin attached to the rail portion 31 (31a) at the front end of the merchandise display shelf 30 (30a), and has a front member 1 having a function of supporting cards and electronic tags. ) And a rear member (2) exhibiting a rail mounting function mainly provided by the flexible hinge (3) and connected to the front member (1) at the top. That is, when the rear member 2 is mounted and fixed to the rail part 31 (31a), the front member 1 is supported at the position which abuts the rear member 2 by the weight (FIG. 2), for example For example, by installing the display angle adjustment member as shown in FIG. 6, the display member can be rotated with respect to the rear member 2 to have an upward direction.

The front member 1 is formed of an upper member 50 and a lower member 60 that is integrally continuous with the upper member 50. The upper member 50 can form a small card insertion slot 13 having an upper opening by joining two plate members 11 and 12 having approximately the same shape to each other and overlapping each other at the lower end 15. On the other hand, of the two plate-shaped members 11 and 12, the upper part of the front member 11 was made into the upper bending latching part 14 into which the upper edge 61 of the large card | seat A is inserted. Moreover, of the two plate-shaped members 11 and 12, the upper part of the front member 11 forms the protrusion part 13 which extends further upward, and inserts small cards in the small card insertion slot 13 It's easy. In addition, since the front member 11 is a transparent member, the customer can see the small cards inserted into the small card insertion slot 13 (see Fig. 5).

The lower member 60 is a U-shaped cross-sectional shape member 16 to which the electronic tag C formed rearward from and below the lower end 15 of the two plate-shaped members 11 and 12 is mounted. In the front end portion of the lower member 161 of 16), a lower bending piece 17 and a lower support piece 18 of the electronic tag which project sequentially and upward from the front end side are formed. The lower edge 62 of the large card A is inserted into the engaging groove 19 between the two sides 17 and 18.

Since the box-shaped electronic tag C having a liquid crystal display surface is attached to the space portion of the U-shaped cross-sectional shape member 16, the height dimension of the space portion is equal to or slightly smaller than that of the electron tag C. Even if the height dimension of the space portion is slightly smaller than the height dimension of the electronic tag C, the lower member 161 of the U-shaped cross-sectional shape member 16 is widened by elasticity at the time of mounting, and is tightened after mounting, so there is no problem. In addition, the upper member 151 of the U-shaped cross-sectional member 16 has two protrusions 152 formed at a predetermined pitch in the width direction and extending in the longitudinal direction. By the two protrusions 152, the engagement of the electronic tag C becomes strong and stable.

Further, a protruding friction member 162 extending in the longitudinal direction is further formed on the upper surface of the lower member 161 of the U-shaped cross-sectional member 16. Although it does not restrict | limit especially as a friction member, A member softer than the material of a POS rail, for example, a rubber material, is mentioned. By providing the friction member 162 on the upper surface of the lower member 161 of the U-shaped cross-section member 16, even if the electronic tag contacts the shopping cart or the shopper, it does not slip to the side and product display is correctly performed. (See Figure 6 (B)). The friction member of the POS rail of this invention is not limited to the said form, It should just be a member which suppresses an electronic tag slipping sideways.

In the present invention, the rear member 2 is not limited as long as it has an engaging member having a shape mounted on the rail portion, but in this example, the lower member (continued with the upper member 21a and the upper member 21a) 21d), and the upper member 21a includes a plate-shaped vertical member 21 having a rear engagement groove 22 from the lower side and a rear side, and a rail portion positioned below the vertical member 21. It consists of the lower member 21d of the shape to be attached. The rear engagement groove 22 is, for example, a groove in which the front engagement piece of the product partition plate installed in the product display shelf is engaged or the product roll fall prevention plate is prevented from being rolled forward. .

The lower member 21d of the shape attached to the rail part has the upper engagement piece 231 which protrudes downward from the junction part 25 of the lower end of the vertical member 21a, and the horizontal direction extended from the junction part 25 forward. The member 234, the inclined member 232 extending obliquely forward and downward from the horizontal member 234, and extending backwards from the end of the inclined member 232, are also bent to rail portions 31 and 31a. When mounted on, it consists of a lower engaging piece 233 having a rounded shape projecting inwardly engaged by the spring force. Since the lower member 21d adopts such a special shape, the POS rail 10 can be attached to a so-called heavy shelf or intermediate shelf. In addition, the POS rail 10 further includes a folding engagement piece 24 that is bent upward from the lower end of the inclined member 23 of the lower member 21d. This bending engagement piece 24 is an arbitrary component in the POS rail 10 of this example.

The weight shelf is a structure which can withstand the weight of a display goods, and the shelf shelf shown in FIG. 3 is mentioned. In the weight shelf 30 of FIG. 3, the lower end of the vertical member 35 at the front end is bent inward to form a cross-sectional shape, and the shape of the rail part 31 is fixed to the front end of the display shelf 30. The vertical portion, the upper mounting piece 32 whose upper end is bent inward, the lower mounting piece 34 whose lower end is bent inward, and the engaging groove 36 between the upper mounting piece 32 and the vertical part. Equipped. If it is the weight shelf 30, the upper engagement piece 231 of the lower member 21d of the POS rail 10 is fitted into the engagement groove 36, and the lower engagement piece 233 is the lower attachment piece. Since it enters the inside of (34), stable mounting is possible.

The intermediate shelf has a structure of lower strength than the heavy shelf, and may include a display shelf shown in FIG. 4. As for the intermediate amount shelf 30a of FIG. 4, the lower end of the vertical member 35a of the front end is bent outward, and it shows L-shaped cross-sectional shape, The shape of the rail part 31 is at the front end of the display shelf 30a. A concave back plate 31a to be fixed, an upper mounting piece 32a with an upper end bent inward, and a lower mounting piece 34a with an lower end bent inward. If it is the intermediate amount shelf 30a, the upper engagement piece 231 of the lower member 21d of the POS rail 10 enters the inside of the upper mounting piece 32a, and the lower engagement piece 233 is the lower mounting piece. Since it enters inside of 34a, stable mounting is possible. According to the POS rail 10, since the shape attached to a rail part is a specific shape which consists of the upper engagement piece 231 of a vertical member, and the lower engagement piece 233 which has a rounded shape protruding inward, It is suitable for the shape of the rail of most display shelves used.

The use method of the POS rail 10 is demonstrated with reference to FIG. The goods D are displayed on the display shelf 30 of FIG. The POS rail 10 is attached to the rail part 31 of the front edge of the goods display shelf 30. As shown in FIG. Large card type A ("advertising article" displayed in the drawing displaying product information between the upper folding piece 14 and the lower folding piece 17 of the front member 1 of the POS rail 10) ), A small card (inserting "new release" in the drawing) is attached to the small card insertion slot 13, and the C-shaped cross-sectional shape member 16 displays the product price. The tag C (thing which displayed "123 yen" in the figure) was attached. In the figure, the POS rail 10 may have a shape that is further continuous in the longitudinal direction, or may be provided with a plurality of pieces having a dimensional shape as shown in FIG. 8 in the longitudinal direction, side by side facing each other.

According to the POS rail 10, three types of display of a large card A, a small card B, and an electronic tag C are possible with one POS rail 10. FIG. Moreover, since the holder for a display which was conventionally required is unnecessary, when many electronic tags are used for one POS rail, installation cost can be reduced.
