Thus, when the article container 2 is put in the cover 1, the push-up plate 4 passes through the gate 28 and hits the commodity 9 such as a cigarette, which is pushed up by a spring force. The stacked top products are protruded forward by the protruding corners 16 and 26, hit the top plate 29, and are stopped. The product 9 is taken out from the recessed take-out part 22 of the top plate 29 by putting a finger into the product and pulling it out. Since the magnet coupling 6 is provided at the bottom of the cover 1 and the magnet coupling 60 is also provided at the bottom of the article storage 2, both are attracted to prevent the article storage 2 from floating. are doing.

A part of the push-up plate 4 is adapted to move along a rail hole 19 formed on the side surface of the cover 1, and a pull-down knob 40 is projected outward, so that the cover 1 is empty. At this time, after the pull-down knob 40 has been previously pressed down and temporarily stopped by the stopper 48, it is also possible to put in a full product in the article container 2. This is because when the product or the package containing the product is hard, there is no problem in putting the product container and the product in a state where the push-up plate 4 is at the raised position of the cover 1 as shown in FIG. If this is soft, the product may be crushed. Further, the article storage device 2 is provided with article alignment ribs 27 to make it easy to store articles and to reinforce the structure. Further, a handle 24 is provided to facilitate carrying, and a product name display label can be attached. The variable load wound leaf spring 3 is a thin leaf spring wound in a spiral shape, is spirally wound in a natural state, and its inner end is free, so that when it is stretched from the spiral portion 34 to the straight extension portion 32, The spring output gradually increases. Therefore, when the number of articles is large, it is pushed up with a strong force, and when the number of articles is small, it is pushed up with a weak force. If the load spring 3 is too strong, the article container 2 may be pushed up. This can be prevented by the magnet coupler 6. However, the magnet coupler 6 need not be provided if the strength is appropriate.

This is convenient because many rows of products such as cigarettes can be displayed simultaneously.

The variable load wound leaf spring 3 has a straight extension part 32 and a spiral part 34, and is given a habit of becoming a spiral in its natural state. In addition, since the variable load wound leaf spring 3 is machined with the same curvature over each turn, it differs from a constant load spring that is in close contact over almost the entire length, and changes the curvature of each turn to match a desired output. It is possible to design the output required for pushing up a stacked product by forming a shape such as an Archimedean spiral, a parabolic spiral, a hyperbolic spiral, or a logarithmic spiral. For example, the output of the variable load leaf spring for cigarettes in FIG. 4 is proportional to the number of stacked cigarettes. However, the force of the spring is greater than the weight of the stacked cigarettes, giving pressure to the top plate 29. Further, by providing the push-up plate fixing portion 5 using a magnet attracting tool or the like, the push-up plate 4 can be temporarily fixed to the fixing portion 5 at the time of refilling the product, so that the work of taking in and out the product is easy.
