DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a display card (a so-called pop card) in which a trademark, an advertising phrase, or the like is given with designability in order to evoke an interest in a product at a store such as a department store or a mass retailer. ), That is, a plastic spring clip used as an attachment means for arranging the display card holder at a predetermined position. In particular, the present invention is suitable for arranging at a predetermined position of a structural rod of a round pipe in a furniture (clothes display hanger or the like).

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the above-described spring clip, the opposing surface of the holding portion of the spring clip is formed as a concave curved surface.
Since the structural rod of the fixture for mounting the display card is usually a metal round pipe, holding the display card (particularly a large-sized display card) by gravity or the like is not sufficient if the round pipe is merely held by the spring force. The display card is easily rotated by the action, and it is difficult to stably maintain the display card in a predetermined direction.

For this reason, conventionally, a non-slip sheet made of an elastomer has been stuck to the opposing surface of the holding portion of the spring clip using a double-sided tape or an adhesive.

[0004]

However, it is troublesome to attach (attach) the non-slip sheet after assembling the clip. Depending on how the spring clip is used, it may not be necessary to attach the anti-slip sheet.

[0005] Further, the anti-slip sheet may be peeled off due to the deterioration of the adhesive with time, and it has been difficult to maintain the anti-slip function for a long period of time.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above, the present invention provides a spring card for a display card holder and a spring clip for a display card holder, which can easily attach a non-slip sheet even after the clip is assembled and can maintain a non-slip function for a long period of time. It is intended to provide a non-slip sheet.

[0011]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIGS. 1 to 3 show an example of a spring clip for a display card holder according to the present embodiment.

(1) A plastic spring clip 13 used as mounting means for arranging the display card holder 11 at a predetermined position (see FIG. 6). here,
The display card holder 11 is also of the spring clip type in the illustrated example, but is of the card insertion type 11 as shown by a two-dot chain line.
A and the like are not particularly limited. Also, the display card holder 11 and the spring clip 13 are provided with support rods 15 and 17 having ball plugs 15a and 17a at one end, respectively, so that the display angle of the display card can be freely adjusted. It is connected via a connecting rod 19 having 19a and two double-sided ball receiving sockets 21, 21. This embodiment is not particularly limited.

Here, the two-sided ball receiving sockets 21, 21
Is usually formed of a synthetic resin material such as PP having spring elasticity, and the display card holder 11, the spring clip body 23,
The connecting rod 19 is formed of a transparent resin such as an acrylic resin or a styrene resin (from the viewpoint of design).

(2) As shown in FIGS.
A non-slip sheet 27 made of an elastomer is attached to the opposing surface of the third holding portion 25. Here, in the clip body 23, the pair of half bodies 24 and 24A
9, the support bar 17 is integrated with one half body 24. However, the spring may be a coil-type sandwiching spring or the like.

In the present embodiment, the anti-slip sheet 27 has a U-shaped cross section having a width and a size that covers the inner surface of the holding portion 25 of the clip body 23.
An engaging portion 31 is provided at both ends for engaging the outside of the distal end portion of the holding portion 25 formed to be curved to the back side.

Here, the engaging portion 31 of the non-slip sheet 27
In order to further ensure the reliability of the engagement, weirs 31a are formed on both sides of the engagement part 31 and are formed in a bag shape, but the engagement part has a certain rigidity and the holding part 25 In the case where side movement preventing ribs or the like are formed on both sides of the distal end portion, only the engagement curved portion may be used.

When the holding force of the non-slip sheet 27 is expected to be increased, at least a pair of holding ribs 33, 33 extending in the width direction are formed between the opposing surfaces of the non-slip sheet 27 having a U-shaped cross section (normally). Formed on the bottom side). In the illustrated example, there is a pair, but two pairs or three pairs may be formed.

The cross-sectional shape of the holding rib 33 is not particularly limited, regardless of whether it is triangular, semicircular, rectangular, or the like. The width and height of the holding rib are 0.6 to 1 mm and 0.5, respectively.
〜1 mm.

The non-slip sheet 27 is a general-purpose elastomer material, and is manufactured by injection molding using a multi-cavity mold, for example. As the elastomer material, for example, olefin-based thermoplastic elastomer (TPO), ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA)
Etc. can be suitably used.

(3) The mode of use of the above embodiment is as follows.

The attachment of the non-slip sheet 27 to the clip main body 23 is performed by the front end portion 25a of the clipping portion of the clip main body 23.
Then, it is only necessary to engage the engaging portion 31 of the non-slip sheet 27. Then, the engaging portions 31 formed at both ends of the non-slip sheet 27 are engaged with the outside of the holding portion distal end portion 25a, and are assembled so as to cover the inner surface of the holding portion 25 of the clip body 23. .

The clip 13 to which the non-slip sheet 27 is attached is used in connection with the display card holder 11 as shown in FIG. 6 as in the prior art. Even when the clip 13 is attached to the round pipe 35 or the like which is a structural rod, the clip 13 has a sufficient sliding frictional resistance, and the exhibition card can be stably maintained in a predetermined direction. In particular, when the holding rib 33 is formed, even if the furniture structural rod has a small diameter such as a wire rod (for example, 1 to 3 mmφ), the clip 13 is turned by the presence of the holding rib 33 on the bottom side. Movement is prevented, and stable holding from a small-diameter to a large-diameter structural rod body becomes possible. That is, in the case of a large diameter, as shown in FIG. 3, the structural rod 35 is held.

Further, a structure rod or the like is attached to the spring clip 13.
When the clip 13 is sandwiched, the holding portion distal end portion 25a of the clip 13 is covered with the engaging portion 31 of the anti-slip sheet 27, so that there is no possibility of damaging the structural rod 35 and the like.

The spring clip for the display card holder of the present embodiment is not limited to a round pipe-shaped structural rod, but also to a structural steel such as a display shelf, a panel, and further, the display card is attached to the product itself. Of course, it can also be applied as an attachment means when attaching.

[0026]

[Action and Effect of the Invention]

(1) The spring clip for a display card holder to which the non-slip sheet of the present invention is attached and the non-slip sheet used for the same have the following functions and effects by the above configuration.

The attachment of the anti-slip sheet to the clip holding portion is performed by a simple mechanical connection such that the engaging portions formed on both ends of the anti-slip sheet engage with the outside of the front end portion of the holding portion. Can be. Therefore, compared to the case where the non-slip sheet is attached to the holding portion by using a double-sided tape or an adhesive as in the related art, even after the clip is assembled,
The non-slip sheet can be easily attached, and there is no need to consider peeling due to aging deterioration like an adhesive,
The anti-slip function can be maintained for a long time.

(2) When the retaining rib is formed between the opposing surfaces of the U-shaped cross section of the anti-slip sheet as described in claims 2 and 4, the structural rod of the furniture has a small diameter of a wire or the like. However, the rotation of the clip is prevented by the presence of the holding rib on the bottom side, so that the holding rod can be stably held on structural rods having various diameters from a small diameter to a large diameter.
