  In the embodiment described above, the cold temperature information display body 1 is wound around the shaft portion 3 of the support member 2 and the cold temperature information display body 1 is turned around with a finger. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a plurality of protrusions (teeth) are formed around the drum as the shaft portion 3 of the support member 2, and an engagement hole that engages with the protrusions (teeth) is drilled in the cold / warm information display body 1. The projecting shaft can be manually rotated. In this case, the cold temperature information display body 1 can be circulated without touching the cold temperature information display body 1.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the cold / warm information display body 1 is described as being formed in an annular shape. However, both ends of the cold / warm information display body 1 are engaged with the take-up drum and wound around the take-up drum. Is something that can be done. In this case, a winding drum around which the cold / warm information display body 1 is wound is disposed on the left and right ends of the inner door 6, and when changing the background color of the product sample, one winding drum is rotated to rotate the background. The color can be changed. Further, since the cold temperature information display body 1 can be wound by rotating the winding drum, the cold temperature information display body 1 can be moved without touching the cold temperature information display body 1.

  Furthermore, although the said embodiment demonstrated what fixed the support member 2 to the inner door 60 separately for every merchandise sample group, it does not restrict to this. For example, the interval between the three vertical display stands 70 arranged in the display room is changed depending on the length (back height) of the product sample. In the example of FIG. 1, a tall product sample 80 and a short product sample 80 are mixed on the upper and middle display bases 70, and the lower product base 80 is uniformly placed on the lower product base 80. However, there is a model in which a mixture of a tall product sample 80 and a short product sample 80 is provided in the lower and middle stages, and a product obtained by unifying the short product sample 80 in the upper stage. For this reason, when the support member 2 is individually installed for each product sample group, the installation position of the support member 2 must be changed for each model, so that the manufacturing cost increases. Therefore, the manufacturing cost can be reduced by making the support member 2 movable in the vertical direction so that the height position of the support member 2 can be adjusted in accordance with the models having different display stand positions. It is.
