  The bracket 1 is a fixing member that engages with the slit 51 of the support column 5, supports the arm portion 2 in a rotatable manner, and supports the operation portion 9 in a position different from the arm portion 2 in a rotatable manner. The bracket 1 is a plate-like object, and includes an engagement piece 12 that engages with the slit 51 of the column 5, a rear-side base end portion 13 having a predetermined height, and a length that extends forward from the base end portion 13. It consists of a scale-shaped front part 14. A guide groove 11 having a predetermined width and a predetermined length, which is a part of an arc whose radius is the distance to the shaft 26 at the front end portion, is formed at the slightly center and the base end portion 13 side of the bracket 1. A shaft portion 91 that rotatably supports the horizontal member 6 is formed in the vicinity and slightly forward, and a shaft portion 26 that rotatably supports the arm portion 2 is formed at the front end portion of the front portion 14. The groove width of the guide groove 11 is slightly larger than the diameter of the protrusion attached to the arm portion 2, and the groove length of the guide groove 11 is such that the predetermined rotation range of the arm portion 2 is not limited. The upper end of the guide groove 11 is a limit point of rotation. Further, a horizontal plate member 15 on which the horizontal member 6 extending inward is placed is formed at the lower end of the base end portion 13. Further, the tip shape of the front portion 14 is rounded so that the contact with the contact portion 93 of the operation portion 9 is smooth.

  The arm part 2 is a long object, its front end is pivotally supported by the bracket 1, and the rear side is rotatable in the vertical direction. A protrusion 61 that engages with the guide groove 11 of the bracket 1 is formed slightly rearward of the center of the arm 2. Further, a horizontal plate portion 21 extending inward from the upper end and the lower end is formed on the rear side so that the joining with the horizontal member 3 is stabilized and the contact with the horizontal member 6 is smooth.

  The horizontal member 6 has a shape in which a plate-like object is vertically placed except for the rear part, and is integrated with the operation unit 9. In this example, the operation portion 9 is a horizontal member 6, a front member 95, and a connecting member 92 that connects the front end portion of the horizontal member 6 and the rear end portion of the front member 95. Yes. The horizontal member 6 is pivotally supported by the bracket 1 at the front end portion, and the rear side of the horizontal member 6 is rotatable in the vertical direction. Further, a roller 94 that is a sliding material is attached to the upper corner of the rear end of the horizontal member 6, and the roller 94 pushes up the lower end surface of the rear part of the arm part 2 by the downward biasing operation of the operation part 9. At the same time, it rolls while abutting in the forward direction of the arm 2.

  A U-shaped frame body (hereinafter simply referred to as “U-shaped frame body”) formed by the left arm portion 2, the rear bar member 3, and the right arm portion 2 is a bracket whose front end portion is a bracket. The projection 61 is in contact with the lower end edge of the guide groove 11 of the bracket 1, and the rear end of the arm portion 2 is in contact with the roller 94 of the horizontal member 6. Since the horizontal state is stably supported, the bar-like member 42 of the commodity hanging hook member 4 maintains the substantially horizontal state, and the commodity A is stably displayed. In this state, the merchandise A is sold and extracted sequentially from the front (see the merchandise display device in the lower part of FIG. 1, see FIG. 2).

  In order to advance the product A, that is, in order to use the lower product display device in FIG. 1 as the upper product display device, first, either one or both of the operation units 9 and 9 are pushed downward (FIG. 3). X direction inside). Due to the downward biasing force, the horizontal member 6 rotates upward at the rear of the horizontal member 6 around the shaft portion 91. At this time, the roller 94 pushes up the lower end surface of the rear part of the arm part 2 and rolls while abutting in the forward direction of the arm part 2 to make the arm part 2 push up smoothly. The pushed-up arm portion 2 rotates upward at the rear of the arm portion 2 around the shaft portion 26 at the front end. Further, when the operation unit 9 is pushed downward, the projection 61 of the arm unit 2 hits the upper end edge of the guide groove 11 and restricts the downward biasing of the operation unit 9. At the same time, the contact portion 93 of the operation portion 9 hits the rounded portion of the front end portion of the bracket 1, and this portion also restricts the downward biasing of the operation portion 9. If the downward rotation is excessive, the displayed product falls over the locking portion 43 of the hook member 4. If the downward rotation is small, stable advance cannot be performed. When the U-shaped frame rotates downward, the bar-shaped member 42 of the hook member 4 is inclined forward and downward, so that the product A moves forward due to gravity (see FIG. 3).

  Further, the weight 44 may be hung on the rear end of the commodity hanging hook member 4, that is, the commodity suspended in the front-rear direction on the rod-shaped member 42. The form of the weight 44 is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a plate-like object as shown in FIG. In this case, it is preferable that a hole 47 through which the rod-like member 42 is inserted is formed in the upper part of the plate-like object. Moreover, the thing of the form which suspends the hook member attached to the upper part of a plate-shaped object besides the insertion hole to the rod-shaped member 42 may be sufficient. Thereby, the weight 44 moves forward by the hook member 4 being inclined forward and the product is more smoothly put out. In FIG. 8, the description of the product is omitted.

  When the advancement is completed, the downward bias to the operation unit 9 is released. Specifically, the downward pressing force to the operation unit 9 is gradually reduced. When the pressing force to the operation unit 9 decreases, the U-shaped frame body rotates downward about the shaft portion 26 due to the weight on the rear side of the U-shaped frame body. At this time, the roller 94 of the horizontal member 6 abuts while rotating the lower surface of the arm portion 2 and moves to the rear side of the arm portion 2. Then, the U-shaped frame body takes the original display posture, the rod-like member 42 of the hook member 4 is in a substantially horizontal state, and the product A is displayed in the forward-out state (see FIG. 3).

  In the product display device 10 according to the first embodiment, the lateral member 3 is not particularly limited as long as the product hanging hook member 4 can be attached thereto. In addition to the bar member, the lateral member 3 has a mesh member, that is, a mesh member. The formed long member can also be applied. As a form of the operation unit 9, other than the above, for example, the front member 95 may be omitted. In this case, the connecting member 92 becomes an operation unit, and the advance operation is an operation of pulling forward. Further, the guide groove 11 and the protrusion 61 can be omitted. In this case, the rotation does not become unstable, and the rotation range may be restricted by the contact portion 93 of the operation unit 9. Further, the roller 94 of the horizontal member 6 can be omitted. In this case, a frictional resistance is generated between the corner of the horizontal member 6 and the lower surface of the arm, but it does not hinder the turning operation. Further, the contact portion 93 of the operation unit 9 can be omitted. In this case, the rotation range is restricted by the contact between the guide groove 11 and the protrusion 61. Moreover, even if there is no member for restricting the rotation range, it can be generally operated manually. Further, the above-described advance structure may be formed on either one of the both side flanges. In this case, the other flange portion from which the advance structure is omitted may be one in which the transverse member 3 is pivotally supported by the fixed portion 1 so as to be directly rotatable, and the arm portion 2 is directly rotatable by the fixed portion 1. A configuration in which the lateral member 3 is connected to the arm portion 2 by being pivotally supported may be employed.
