When the mounting table 11 is removed from the fixing member 12, the lower side of the mounting table 11 is opened. Therefore, the cooling / heating pattern display body 120 is removed from the mounting table 11 in the reverse order of the attachment of the cooling / heating pattern display body 120 to the mounting table 11. Can do. Needless to say, the price display body 140 is removed prior to the removal of the cold / hot pattern display body 120 from the mounting table 11.

Next, different embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the examples shown in FIGS. 4 is an enlarged view of the right end side of the display base 1, (a) is a perspective view of the mounting base 11 assembled to the fixing member 12, and (b) is a perspective view of the fixing member 12. The components having the same or the same functions as those in the embodiment shown in FIG. In FIG. 4, for ease of illustration, the price display 140 is indicated by a one-dot chain line, and the characters of the cold / warm pattern of the cold / warm pattern display 120 are omitted.
In FIG. 4, reference numeral 11 denotes the mounting table again, and a guide piece 150 is formed by cutting and raising at the approximate center of the right end of the upper surface portion 111 of the mounting table 11, and a guide bar 151 is formed on the rear side. . The guide piece 150 or the guide bar 151 constitutes a guide member of claim 2. The guide bar 151 is made of plastic, and is inserted and fixed from above into a hole (not shown in the figure hidden behind the guide bar 151) formed in the upper surface portion 111 of the mounting table 11. The guide piece 150 and the guide bar 151 are positioned so as to be in sliding contact with the inner peripheral wall of the cool / warm pattern display body 120 that is folded back to the left and right on the mounting table 11, and its length dimension is determined. When the display body 120 circulates, the cool / warm pattern display body 120 is guided so that the right end of the display body 120 circulates while maintaining a curved state. Although not shown in the drawing, a guide piece similar to the guide piece 150 is formed on the left end side of the mounting table 11 by cutting and raising, and a guide bar similar to the guide bar 151 is provided.

  As shown in FIG. 4B, the fixing member 12 having a substantially U-shaped planar cross section has a stepped portion 12b formed by cutting out the upper side of the front leg piece. The step portion 12b is formed as a relief portion of the cool / warm pattern display body 120 when the cool / warm pattern display body 120 is circulated. That is, since the cold / warm pattern display body 120 is attached to the mounting table 11 with play so that it can be easily attached to or replaced by the mounting table 11, the opening 140c of the price display body 140 (see FIG. 1). ) From the front surface side of the mounting table 11 to the rear surface side at the right end side of the cooling temperature pattern display body 120 when the finger is placed around the cooling temperature pattern display body 120 (for example, in the right direction). This causes a phenomenon that the amount of pushing becomes larger than that and the orbit of the cold / hot pattern display body 120 swells outward. For this reason, when the fixing member 12 does not have the stepped portion 12b, the cold / warm pattern display body 120 bulging outward collides with the leg pieces of the fixing member 12, thereby deforming the cold / warm pattern display body 120 smoothly. There is a risk that the circulation will be hindered and the cold / hot pattern display body 120 may be damaged. In this respect, even when the cold / warm pattern display body 120 swells outwardly from the orbit due to the provision of the stepped portion 12b on the fixing member 12, the cold / warm pattern display body 120 is fixed to the leg of the fixing member 12 by the escape of the stepped portion 12b. It can bulge outside without being disturbed by a piece. Therefore, since the circulation of the cold / warm pattern display body 120 is not disturbed by the fixing member 12, the cold / warm pattern display body 120 can be smoothly turned.

In FIG. 4A, 1B is attached to a dust accumulation preventing hole for preventing dust from accumulating on the upper surface portion 111 of the mounting table 11, and 113b is attached to a guide portion 113a provided at the lower end of the front surface portion 113 of the mounting table 11. Further, the drop-off prevention piece 12c for preventing the price display body 140 from dropping off is provided on the leg piece on the front surface side of the fixing member 12 and disposed at a position facing the mounting bracket of the product selection button unit 90 (FIG. 7). This is a plastic clamp. Since the drop-off prevention piece 113b holds the price display body 140, it is possible to further ensure the drop-off of the cold / hot pattern display body 120 by attaching the price display body 140 to the display base 1. In addition, the clamp 12c is configured to come into contact with the mounting bracket of the product selection button unit 90 when the product selection button 90a is strongly pressed and the transparent plate 40 is bent, thereby preventing the transparent plate 40 from being bent. The pressing operation of the selection button 90a can be performed stably.

In the above-described embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the left and right ends of the upper surface portion 111 of the mounting table 11 are arranged so as to be in sliding contact with the inner peripheral wall of the cold / warm pattern display body 120 that is folded back and left on the mounting table 11. By providing the guide piece 150 and the guide bar 151, the cool / warm pattern display body 120 can be rotated so that the left and right ends of the cool / warm pattern display body 120 are curved while rotating. Since it can guide, it contributes to the smooth circulation of the cold / hot pattern display body 120. Further, since the stepped portion 12b is formed by notching the upper side of the leg piece on the front surface side of the fixing member 12, when the cold / hot pattern display body 120 is turned by manual operation, the cold / hot pattern display body 120 is removed from the orbit. Thus, even when it bulges outward, the outward bulge of the cold / warm pattern display body 120 can be released, whereby the cold / warm pattern display body 120 can smoothly circulate.
In the embodiment of FIG. 4, the guide piece 150 and the guide bar 151 are provided on the left and right ends of the upper surface portion 111 of the mounting table 11. However, only one of the guide piece 150 or the guide bar 151 is provided. This also makes it possible to smoothly circulate the cold / hot pattern display body 120.

Next, a different embodiment of the present invention will be described based on a modification shown in FIGS. FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of the right end side of the display stand 1, and those having the same or the same functions as those of the embodiment shown in FIG.
The modified example shown in FIG. 5A is different from the embodiment shown in FIG. 4 in that, in the embodiment shown in FIG. In contrast, in the modified example of FIG. 5A, a guide piece 152 formed by cutting and raising is provided instead of the guide bar 151 of FIG. When the guide piece 152 is provided in this manner, both the guide piece 150 and the guide piece 152 can be formed by cutting and raising, so that the number of parts can be reduced. 5B is different from the embodiment shown in FIG. 4 in that a guide bar 153 similar to the guide bar 151 is provided instead of the guide piece 150 in FIG. The modification shown in FIG. 5B has the following advantages. That is, since the guide piece 150 shown in FIG. 4 is formed by cutting and raising, burrs are generated at the periphery of the guide piece 150. Therefore, in the case of the guide piece 150, since the deburring work is required, the work man-hour is increased, whereas in the case of the guide rods 150, 513, the deburring work is not required, so the work man-hour is increased. Can be reduced.
