  There are a plurality (three in the illustrated example) of second sensor window portions 17, and the second sensor window portions 17 are provided in a manner of being separated from each other along the left-right direction on the lower side of the display window portion 11.

  Such an outer door 10 includes a sensor mounting device 40 and a door opening / closing device 50 in addition to the above configuration. Here, FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional side view showing an enlarged vertical cross section of the main part of the outer door 10 shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional side view showing the characteristic part shown in FIG. FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view showing an essential part of the sensor mounting device 40 in an exploded manner. The sensor mounting device 40 will be described using these FIGS. 3 to 5 as appropriate.

  The sensor attachment device 40 includes a support sheet metal member 41 and an attachment sheet metal member 42. The support sheet metal member 41 is configured to bend a flat sheet metal so that the longitudinal section thereof is substantially L-shaped, and is a long member whose longitudinal direction is the left-right direction. The support sheet metal member 41 is disposed in a rear region of the second sensor window portion 17 such that both end portions 41a thereof are fastened to a frame body (not shown) of the outer door 10 by screws 41b. Such a support sheet metal member 41 has a horizontally extending portion 411 and a hanging portion 412.

  The horizontal extending portion 411 is a portion that forms a horizontal plane, and is placed on the support metal plate 21 of the outer door 10. The front end portion of the horizontal extending portion 411 is bent upward, and a locking hole 411a is formed at a location including the bent portion.

  The drooping portion 412 is a portion that extends upward from the rear end portion of the horizontal extending portion 411, and the upper end extending portion thereof is bent forward. The drooping portion 412 is formed with a long hole 412a whose longitudinal direction is the longitudinal direction. Further, a notch 412b is formed in the drooping portion 412 as shown in FIG. The notch 412b is for passing the wiring connected to the sensor S.

  The attachment sheet metal member 42 is configured by cutting and bending a flat sheet metal, and has a base 421, a support piece 422, and an attachment piece 423. The base 421 has a flat plate shape, and has two entry portions 421a protruding forward at the front end. The rear end portion of the base portion 421 is divided to form three tongue-like portions.

  The support piece portion 422 is formed by bending right and left tongue piece portions of the three tongue piece portions of the rear end portion of the base portion 421 upward at a right angle. That is, the support piece portion 422 extends upward from a part of the rear end portion of the base portion 421. A through hole 422a is formed in the support piece 422, and the sensor S is attached by a mounting screw 422b that passes through the through hole 422a. Thus, the attachment sheet metal member 42 is a member that is integrally attached to the sensor S via the attachment screw 422b. Here, the sensor S is a human sensor that has a light emitting unit and a light receiving unit on the front surface and can detect a person or the like within a predetermined range, though not explicitly shown in the drawing. The sensor S gives a detection signal to the control device when a person or the like is detected. As a result, the display unit 31 of the display device 30 changes from displaying an advertisement or the like to displaying a product and a product price.

  The attachment piece portion 423 is formed by bending a central tongue piece portion of the three tongue piece portions at the rear end of the base portion 421 upward. That is, the attachment piece part 423 extends upward from a part of the rear end part of the base part 421. A screw hole 423a is formed in the mounting piece 423. Further, the mounting piece 423 is bent so that the angle θ formed with the base 421 is an obtuse angle in a normal state.

  Furthermore, a plurality of holes 423b are formed at the boundary between the mounting piece 423 and the base 421. Since the plurality of hole portions 423b are formed in this manner, the attachment piece portion 423 can be easily deformed along the front-rear direction using the boundary portion with the base portion 421 as a fulcrum.

  Such a mounting sheet metal member 42 causes the entry part 421a of the base part 421 to enter the locking hole 411a of the horizontal extension part 411 that constitutes the support sheet metal member 41 to engage the base part 421 with the support sheet metal member 41, respectively. By inserting the screw member 43 from the rear side into the elongated hole 412a formed in the hanging part 412 of the support sheet metal member 41 and the screw hole 423a formed in the attachment piece part 423 of the attachment sheet metal member 42, FIG. As shown, it is fastened to the support sheet metal member 41. At this time, the rear surface 423 c of the mounting piece 423 of the mounting sheet metal member 42 is always in contact with the front surface 412 c of the hanging part 412 of the support sheet metal member 41.

  Thereby, as shown in FIG. 7, the sensor S can be disposed in the rear region of the second sensor window portion 17 in an inclined posture. At this time, the sensor S is inclined about 6 ° downward with respect to the horizontal plane, and the screw member 43 is in contact with the upper end edge of the long hole 412a as shown in FIG. Accordingly, the sensor S can detect an object (person) within a predetermined range through the second sensor window portion 17.

  By the way, in such an arrangement state of the sensor S, there may be a problem that the sensor S detects a pillar or the like instead of a person who is an original detection target. In such a case, it is necessary to adjust the detection angle by changing the tilt angle of the sensor S. When adjusting the detection angle of the sensor S, the head of the screw member 43 protruding backward from the long hole 412a is pressed downward. That is, the screw member 43 is moved downward along the longitudinal direction of the long hole 412a. Thereby, the mounting sheet metal member 42 having the screw hole 423a inserted through the screw member 43 moves downward with the contact portion between the entry portion 421a and the opening edge portion of the locking hole 411a as a fulcrum. Become. At this time, the mounting piece 423 of the mounting sheet metal member 42 is elastically deformed forward with the boundary portion with the base 421 as a fulcrum in a state where the rear surface 423c of the mounting sheet metal member 42 is in sliding contact with the front surface 412c of the hanging portion 412. That is, a reaction force due to elastic deformation acts on the drooping portion 412 from the mounting piece portion 423, so that even if the downward movement of the screw member 43 is stopped, the inclination angle of the sensor S at that time is maintained. It becomes possible.

  As the screw member 43 contacts the lower edge of the long hole 412a, the lower surface of the base 421 is in contact with the upper surface of the horizontal extending portion 411 as shown in FIG. Thus, it can be disposed in the rear area of the second sensor window portion 17. At this time, an angle θ formed by the mounting piece 423 with respect to the base 421 is substantially a right angle. That is, in the sensor mounting device 40, the detection angle of the sensor S can be adjusted between 0 and 6 ° with respect to the horizontal plane.
