2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional unattended lending / selling apparatus for recording media, for example, a video cassette lending machine, storage shelves having a large number of addresses are provided, and each address is displayed with an address number. Contains a video cassette. In order to display the contents of the video cassette stored in each address number of the storage shelf, an exhibition shelf having the same address as the storage shelf is provided.

As shown in FIG. 5, a number of bars 2 (only one is shown) are vertically provided between upper and lower shelves 1a and 1b. In FIG. 6, the video cassette 3 is stored in a case 4 and shipped. The video cassette 3 is taken out of the case 4 and stored in a storage shelf. The case 4 includes a box-shaped housing portion 4a for housing the video cassette 3, and a lid portion 4b having one end connected to close the housing portion 4a. A film 5 is attached so as to cover the outside of the housing 4a and the cover 4b, and a cover paper 6 for explaining the contents of the recording is inserted between the film 5 and the case 4. Then, in order to attach the case 4 to the display shelf 1, as shown in FIG. 7, holes 7 are formed in the upper and lower side surfaces of the accommodation portion 4 a of the case 4, and the case 4 is It is mounted in multiple stages (see FIG. 5). These cases 4
Is rotated right and left around the rod 2, so that by rotating the case 4, both sides of the cover paper 6 can be seen.

[0004]

The above-mentioned display shelf 1 has the following problems. The video cassette 3 on the storage shelf is appropriately replaced when the work becomes old or a new work comes out. In this case, the cover paper 6 of the display shelf 1 must also be replaced. However, since a plurality of cases 4 are collectively attached to the rod 2, it is difficult to remove only one case 4. Then, with the case 4 attached to the rod 2, the cover 4b must be opened, the cover paper 6 must be taken out from the gap between the case 4 and the film 5, and a new cover paper 6 must be inserted, as shown in FIG. The replacement work is very troublesome. When the case 4 is rotated during the exhibition, the lid 4b is opened and it is easy to see. If the cover 4b is fixed so as not to open, the cover paper 6 cannot be replaced. When the cover 4b is opened, the cover paper 6 can be taken out, which is often stolen.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide an exhibition rack in an unattended rental / sale device for a recording medium having a good appearance in which the contents of the display of the recording medium can be easily exchanged. To offer.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a display shelf of a video cassette lending machine will be described below with reference to FIGS. The same items as those in the conventional example will be described with the same reference numerals. The recording medium is not limited to a video cassette, and can be applied to a compact disk CD, a video disk VD, a laser disk DVD, or the like as a sound or sound and video recording medium. In FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the display shelf 10 includes a plurality of display boxes 2 on a shelf 11.
1 is attached. The shelf 11 includes the left and right side plates 1
2, shelves 13 having a U-shaped cross section are horizontally mounted in a plurality of stages.
Are formed. A caster 15 is attached to a lower end surface of the display shelf 11.

In FIG. 4, a display box 21 is formed in a box shape from a transparent plastic material, and has an opening 21 on one side.
a is formed, and the other side surface is closed. Shafts 22 and 2 are provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the display box 21 on the opening 21a side.
3 are protruded. In this display box 21, the shaft 22 is inserted into the through hole 14 of the upper shelf 13 and the shaft 23 is inserted into the through hole 14 of the lower shelf 13. Thus, the closing portion protrudes to the front side and is rotatably attached to the shelf 11. The case 4 to which the cover paper 6 is attached is inserted into the display box 21, and a stopper 24 having elastic legs for preventing the case 4 from coming off is attached to the opening 21a. The cover paper 6 has a sentence for explaining the contents of the recording and a picture, and can be read from the outside through the transparent display box 21. The display box 21 or the shelf 13 describes an address number corresponding to the address of the storage shelf. Note that a pin 25 is inserted into the shaft portion 23 so as not to come off.

A hinge 31 is attached to one side end, and the other side end is moved by the casters 15. Further, connecting members 32 are attached to the other side ends, respectively, and are configured to be lockable by a lock 33.

According to the above embodiment, the following effects are obtained. Since the display box 21 is made of a transparent material, the cover paper 6 can be observed from the front side by inserting the case 4 inside. Since the display box 21 rotates about the axes 23 and 24, both sides of the cover paper 6 can be observed. , Case 4 when replacing video cassette 3
Can be inserted into the display box 21, so that the replacement of the display shelf 10 is significantly simplified. Also, unlike the conventional case, it is not necessary to make the hole 7 in the case 4, so that the operation is easy. Since the open portion 21a of the display box 21 is located on the back side of the shelf 11, if the two shelves 11 are locked with the locks 33, the case 4 will not be stolen. , Two shelves 11 are arranged back to back, so that the stability is good and one shelf 11 can be manufactured thin.
