It is to be installed. Further, the background panel 10 constitutes a plurality of holding portions (holding members) formed continuously and integrally in the horizontal direction. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide the background panel 10 separately from the holding member, so that the manufacturing cost can be reduced and the thickness can be reduced. In the drawings,
For simplicity, only two holding parts (holding members) are shown.

Each of the holding sections (holding members) constituted by the background panel 10 is provided with a display panel mounting section 12 at the center, and the display panel mounting section 12 also serves as an illumination window.
It is formed in the shape of a vertically-long, substantially rectangular window hole, and the interval between both side edges in the vertical direction is substantially the same as the width of a large product (a large-diameter can) and is constant. Further, wedge-shaped locking flanges 13, 13... Are provided at upper and lower ends of both side edges of the display panel mounting portion 12 so as to protrude inward from four corner portions of a substantially rectangular shape.

As shown in FIG. 4, the product display panel 20 is a thin sheet made of a translucent synthetic resin and has elasticity which rebounds in the developing direction when it is curved, and has a substantially rectangular curved portion at the center. It comprises a portion 22 and projecting portions 27, 27 projecting from lower portions of both side edges in the vertical direction. Curved part 22
Means that the width W is about half of the perimeter of large products (thick cans),
It is formed irrespective of the size of the product. However, the protruding portions 27 of the curved portion 22 (the upper cutouts 28, 2
8) The width W ″ of the upper portion is gradually reduced toward the upper end.

On the curved portion 22, a picture 23 (label portion, upper and lower end portions) similar to the front portion of the product is provided at substantially the same height as the product and at a width approximately half the outer peripheral length of the product. Displayed by screen printing. Locked notches 28 are provided at both upper and lower ends of a base portion (a boundary portion with the curved portion 22) of the overhang portion 27.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG.
In the state in which the curved portion 22 is curved into a substantially semicircular cross-sectional shape protruding forward, the projecting portions 27 on both side ends are inserted into the inside of both side edges of the display panel mounting portion 12, and Stop collar 13,
13 are engaged with the locked notches 28, 28, and are detachably held by the holding portion (holding member) of the background panel 10.

That is, a product display board 20 corresponding to a small product
_A both item display board 20 _B corresponding to the large items, because it is formed to a certain size, can be fitted with both common holding unit of the background panel 10 (holding member), reduce manufacturing costs In addition to the above, when the product to be sold is changed to one having a different size, only the product display plate 20 needs to be replaced.

Further, since the width W "of the upper portion of the curved portion 22 of the product display panel 20 is gradually reduced toward the upper end, when the overhanging portions 27 and 27 are locked and bent, the width W" is increased. ,
Even if the radius of curvature of the upper portion is larger than that of the lower portion, the width projected from the front is constant from the lower end to the upper end, and the front portion of a tall product can be displayed favorably.

[0014]

According to the present invention, the holding member is formed in the shape of a vertical flat plate or a flat plate, and the display plate mounting portions such as window holes and grooves are provided at a fixed size or at intervals. Is formed in a sheet shape having resilience in a developing direction composed of a curved portion of a central portion and a projecting portion projecting from both side edges thereof, and the curved portion is
Regardless of the size of the product, it is formed in a fixed size, the same pattern as the product is displayed in a size corresponding to the product, and the product display board is a substantially arc-shaped crossing with a curved part protruding forward The product display board corresponding to products of different sizes can be shared by inserting and locking the overhang into the display board mounting part and holding it detachably on the holding member in the state of being curved into a plane shape Can be attached to the holding member, and the production cost can be reduced. In addition, when the product to be sold is changed to one having a different size, only the product display plate needs to be replaced.
