Description

  The present invention relates to a product display case provided on a display shelf of a product display fixture for displaying various products such as cosmetics, foods, medicines and testers thereof.

  Conventionally, in cosmetic stores and the like, as shown in FIG. 13, cosmetics 51 and testers 52 are used for daily necessities so that the customer can freely select cosmetics at the store without consulting with the store clerk. There are an increasing number of stores that are placed on display shelves 54 of display fixtures 53 that are displayed in large quantities (see, for example, Patent Document 1). However, the cosmetics 51 and the tester 52 are merely placed on the display shelf 54, have a small impact on the customer, and have a poor advertising effect. Moreover, some of the conventional display fixtures 53 are not provided with a lid, which is unsanitary. Moreover, even if it has a cover part, after using a customer, it may be left in the state which opened the cover part, and there also exists a problem of giving an unpleasant feeling to a customer again.

Therefore, a product display case as shown in FIG. 14 has recently been seen as a device in which a lid is attached to the display fixture 53 and the lid can be easily opened and closed. This product display case includes a case main body 55 that opens on the front surface and the ceiling surface, a lid portion 56 that covers the opening of the case main body 55, and a tester unit 57 that holds a tester 58 in which a cosmetic 58a for tester is accommodated. The rear end portions of the left and right side plates 56a of the lid portion 56 are connected to the rear end portions of the left and right side plates 55a of the case body 55 via hinge shafts 55b. The rear end portions of the left and right side portions of the tester unit 57 are coupled to the left and right side plates 56a of the lid portion 56 via hinge shafts 57a. When the lid 56 is opened, the tester unit 57 at the position indicated by the chain line is lifted as indicated by the arrow A along with the opening operation, and impacts the customer.

  However, in the above product display case, when the lid is opened, although the height of the tester unit 57 is increased, the tester unit 57 is moved to the back side, so that the impression of the tester unit 57 becomes small, and the customer cannot have a strong impact. . Moreover, since the tester unit 57 moves away from the customer, there is a problem that it is difficult to handle when looking at or testing the tester unit 57 with a hand. Further, since the lid portion 56 rotates around its rear end portion, the height of the lid portion 56 that has been opened is increased, and when a product is also displayed behind the lid portion 56, the lid portion 56 becomes an obstacle. In addition, it is difficult to see the product, and there is a problem that it becomes an obstacle to the operation when trying the product by hand.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a product display case that can give a strong impact to customers and is easy to handle.

  In order to achieve the above object, a product display case of the present invention has a pair of left and right side walls and a back surface, a case body that extends across the front surface and the ceiling surface, and a lid portion that covers the opening of the case body. A product display unit housed in the inner space of the case body, and the lid part has left and right side edges of the case body opening at one left and right side of the right and left sides of the case body at a predetermined distance from the back end. The product display unit in the case body is mounted on a step provided at the front end of the inner space of the case body. Similarly, the back end of the lid is pivotally connected to the back end of the lid, and is accommodated in the case main body, and the lid and the case main body are opened along with the opening of the lid. The lid part rotates around the connecting part As a result, the connecting portion between the back end of the lid portion and the back end of the product display unit moves toward the front, so that the product display unit in the case body is pushed forward from the inner space of the case body. It takes the composition that it is.

  That is, the product display case of the present invention is housed in the case body in the closed state, with the product display unit placed on the stepped portion of the front end portion of the inner space of the case body. . When the lid is opened, the lid rotates with the connecting portion between the lid portion and the case body opening as a rotation axis along with the opening operation, and the connecting portion between the back end portion of the lid portion and the back end portion of the product display unit. The product display unit is pushed forward from the inner space of the case body. Therefore, the movement of the product display unit can give the customer the impression that the product display unit has become large and give a strong impact. In addition, since the product display unit approaches the customer, the product display unit has an advantage that it is easy to handle when viewing or trying the product display unit. In addition, since the lid part rotates at a location a short distance from the back end, when the lid part is opened and the product is displayed behind it, the product is easy to see and the product is easy to see. There is also an advantage that the lid does not get in the way of operation when trying to hold the hand.

  Further, in the present invention, a protruding portion extending in the left-right direction is provided at the front end portion of the case body, and the product display unit in the case body gets over the protruding portion with the opening operation of the lid portion. When the product is pushed forward, the product display unit gets over the overhanging portion and is pushed further forward, so that it can give a stronger impact to the customer and is easier to handle.

  Further, in the present invention, when the case body is provided with a stopper for preventing the cover part from turning to the back side, the stopper prevents the cover part from turning too far to the back side. As a result, the product display unit comes out too close to the customer so that it does not come into contact with the customer or is difficult to return to the original.
