  Next, the assembly of the display stand 1B shown in FIG. 7 to the display chamber 50 will be described. First, the pair of left and right brackets 3B and 3B are locked and fixed to the presser fitting 400 (see FIG. 8). Locking and fixing the right bracket 3B to the presser fitting 400 is as described above, and the left bracket 3B is also locked and fixed to the presser fitting 400 (in this case, the left presser fitting) following this. Next, the product mounting table 2B is mounted so as to be covered from above the pair of left and right brackets 3B, 3B locked to the presser fitting 400. In this case, the support shaft 221B protruding inwardly on the left and right side walls 22B and 22B of the product mounting table 2B is opposed to the deformed groove 31B opened at the upper edge of the brackets 3B and 3B, and then the product mounting table 2B is mounted on the bracket. Cover 3B and 3B. When the top plate portion 220 on the left and right side walls 22B and 22B of the product mounting table 2B comes into contact with the flange 3B11 formed on the upper edge of the bracket 3B, the support shaft 221B is fitted in the restraining groove portion 312B of the deformed groove 31B. The product mounting table 2B is mounted on the brackets 3B and 3B. In this case, the top plate portion 220 of the left and right side walls 22B and 22B abuts against the flange 3B11 of the bracket 3B, so that the product mounting table 2B is prevented from being tilted backward about the support shaft 221B, while the left and right side walls 22B and 22B The stopper pieces 222B and 222B come into contact with the front edge of the bracket body 3B1 of the bracket 3B, so that the commodity mounting table 2B is prevented from tilting forward around the support shaft 221B. As described above, when the support shaft 221B is fitted into the restraining groove 312B, the product placing table 2B is restrained by the bracket 3B. This state is a state where the product mounting table 2B is set at the product display position, and FIG. 10 shows the product mounting table 2B set at the product display position.

  As shown in FIG. 10, when the product placement table 2B set at the product display position is moved to the maintenance position, the product support table 2B is applied with a slight force so as to tilt backward about the support shaft 221B. The product mounting table 2B is lifted upward so that 221B moves along the groove edge continuous with the slide groove portion 311B from the restraining groove portion 312B constituting the deformed groove 31B. While the support shaft 221B slides along the groove edge of the restraining groove portion 312B, the stopper pieces 222B and 222B of the left and right side walls 22B and 22B interfere with the front edge of the bracket body 3B1 of the bracket 3B, thereby preventing the product table 2B from tilting backward. However, when the support shaft 221B reaches the groove edge continuous from the restraining groove portion 312B to the slide groove portion 311B, the stopper pieces 222B and 222B come out of the interference with the front edge of the bracket body 3B1, and the product mounting table 2B is centered on the support shaft 221B. Begin to lean backwards. In this case, since the top plate portion 220 of the left and right side walls 22B and 22B is moved upward from the flange 3B11 of the bracket body 3B1, it turns around the rear edge side of the bracket body 3B1 without interfering with the flange 3B11. At the stage where the support shaft 221B is slid rearward along the lower edge of the slide groove 311B, the stopper pieces 222B and 222B are in contact with the upper edge of the front edge of the bracket body 3B1, so that the product mounting table 2B gradually tilts backward. When the support shaft 221B comes into contact with the rear edge of the slide groove portion 311B, the stopper pieces 222B and 222B are released from contact with the upper edge of the bracket body 3B1, and the stopper pieces 222B and 222B are brought into contact with the bracket body 3B1. It will be in the state of getting on the flange 3B11.
