2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, utility model registration No. 254395 has been proposed as one in which a set of photographs is displayed on the entire coin locker by using the door surface of the coin locker.
The one described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 1 is known. In this conventional example, the photograph is transferred onto the image bearing layer and the door 1
It is adhesively fixed to the surface.

However, in this conventional example, since the image bearing layer is adhered and fixed to the door surface, there is a problem that it takes time to exchange photographs and the cost for producing the photographic data is high. .

[0004] On the other hand, conventionally, for example, the actual Kaihei 5-68.
As disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 343, there is proposed one in which a holder is fixed to a door of a locker and a photograph or the like is held by the holder. However, in this conventional example, since a photograph or the like is stored in the luggage storage portion from the side, an insertion space is required when inserting the photograph or the like to the side, and there are the following problems.

That is, in general, a coin locker has a handle bulged on the opening side edge of a door, and when a photograph or the like is inserted from the side, a position where the handle does not interfere with the handle, for example, as shown in FIG. 1 of the publication. In addition, the luggage storage section can be formed only in the upper half of the door, and as a result, the continuity of the picture is cut off when one picture is displayed by using a plurality of doors. There's a problem.

[0006] Such a drawback is, for example, in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 59-15.
As described in Japanese Patent No. 1371, it is possible to eliminate by temporarily providing the medium insertion port 5 at the upper and lower edges to the holding portion, but if the medium insertion port is provided at the upper end, foreign matter and the like will be removed from the medium insertion port. There is a problem that an angle member or the like is required to prevent mischief such as insertion, the structure becomes complicated, and the handling becomes troublesome.
