When maintenance work such as replacement is performed, the outer door 20 is opened from the main body cabinet 10, and the inner door 60 locked in the closed state on the outer door 20 is opened to expose the display stand 1B. Then, the product mounting table 2B set at the display position is slid forward. In this case, the product mounting table 2B is such that the protrusion-like fitting projections 212B formed by pushing out toward the back surface on the left and right ends of the product mounting table 2B get over the front guide piece 36B formed on the upper edge of the bracket 3B. Is lifted slightly upward and slid forward. Then, the support shaft 221B provided on the left and right side walls 22B of the product mounting table 2B moves from the slide groove portion 352B in the rear half region to the arc-shaped groove portion 351B in the front half region in the deformed groove 35B of the bracket 3B. When the support shaft 221B reaches the arcuate groove portion 351B, the forward movement of the product mounting table 2B is prevented, so that it can be known that the support shaft 221B has reached the arcuate groove portion 351B, that is, the maintenance position. Therefore, when the product mounting table 2B is rotated forward with the support shaft 221B as a fulcrum, the product mounting table 2B starts to tilt so as to tilt forward at the maintenance position. When the lower end of the front wall 24B of the product mounting table 2B comes into contact with the bracket 3B, the product mounting table 2B is held in a state of being tilted to the forward tilting posture.

  As described above, with the product mounting table 2B tilted to the forward tilted position, the wiping operation of the inner door 60, the cleaning operation for removing dust accumulated on the stage 21B of the product mounting table 2B, or the product mounting table 2B is exhibited. Maintenance work such as replacement of the merchandise sample 80 is performed. In this case, since the product mounting table 2B is separated from the inner door 60 and tilted forward, the maintenance work can be easily performed. After the maintenance work such as cleaning and replacement of the product sample 80 is completed, the product mounting table 2B is returned to the original position. This operation is the reverse of the above procedure, that is, the product mounting table 2B is slid toward the inner door 60 after the product sample 80 is turned with the support shaft 221B as a fulcrum so that the product sample 80 is in an upright state. Then, the support shaft 221B is fitted into the slide groove portion 352B in the deformed groove 35B of the bracket 3B, and the product mounting table 2B is set at the display position of the product sample 80.

  Now, a product sample 81 (see FIG. 6), that is, a product made of a light transmission material in the form of a thin film that cannot be fitted to the fitting portion 23B formed on the stage 21B of the product mounting table 2B constituting the display table 1. The attachment of the sample 81 to the display stand 1 will be described with reference to FIG. Here, as shown in FIG. 6, the product sample 81 has a shape in which the container of the plastic bottle is divided in half, and the bottom side rear surface is cut obliquely according to the inclined stage 21B of the product mounting table 2B. In addition, as shown in FIG. 6B, a bottom plate 811 is provided at the bottom, and a pair of protrusions 812 and 812 projecting outward are formed on the bottom plate 811.

  The product sample 81 is attached to the display table 1B (product mounting table 2B) with a pair of left and right fitting pieces 61B formed by forming the rear edge of the bottom plate 811 of the product sample 81 on the front edge of the stage 21B in the product mounting table 2B. After confronting the engaging portion 6B composed of 61B and the sandwiching piece 62B, the bottom plate 811 is deformed so as to be concaved downward by constricting both ends of the product sample 81 on the bottom side so as to be pressed inward. And the clamping piece 62B is located above the concave bottom plate 811, and the rear edge of the bottom plate 811 is positioned in the gap between the pair of left and right fitting pieces 61B, 61B adjacent to the clamping piece 62B. The product sample 81 is pushed backward (on the stage 21B side). As a result, the sandwiching piece 62B slides above the bottom plate 811 of the product sample 81, while the pair of left and right fitting pieces 61B and 61B sinks below the bottom plate 811 and is sandwiched between the sandwiching piece 62B and the pair of left and right fitting pieces 61B and 61B. The bottom plate 811 is sandwiched. In the middle of pushing the product sample 81 backward, when the protrusions 812 and 812 formed on the bottom plate 811 come into contact with the front edges of the fitting pieces 61B and 61B, the product sample 81 is pushed in, but with a force that overcomes the resistance. When the product sample 81 is pushed in, the bottom plate 811 is bent so that the protrusions 812 and 812 run from the front edge to the upper surfaces of the fitting pieces 61B and 61B, and the protrusions 812 and 812 are inserted from the upper surfaces of the fitting pieces 61B and 61B into the fitting grooves 61B1. When reaching 61B1, the protrusions 812 and 812 fall into the fitting grooves 61B1 and 61B1 and are locked by the restoring force of the bottom plate 811. Since a click feeling is obtained when the protrusions 812 and 812 fall into the fitting grooves 61B1 and 61B1, it is possible to know by touch that the protrusions 812 and 812 have fallen into the fitting grooves 61B1 and 61B1 and are locked. In this manner, the product sample 81 is displayed independently by sandwiching the bottom plate 811 between the pair of left and right fitting pieces 61B, 61B and the sandwiching piece 62B. In addition, since the protrusions 812 and 812 are positioned in the fitting grooves 61B1 and 61B1 of the pair of left and right fitting pieces 61B and 61B, the product sample 81 is displayed in a stable state without dropping off. The product sample 81 is attached to the display stand 1B (product placement table 2B) by moving the product placement table 2B to the product display position without moving the product placement table 2B to the forward tilted position (maintenance position). It can be performed in the set state.
