Description

  The present invention relates to an auxiliary tool for display used when a display object stored in a case body is displayed on a display shelf.

  Conventionally, in the so-called rental industry in which recording media such as DVDs and video tapes are displayed on display shelves such as bookshelves, for example, recording media such as DVDs are stored in an inner case 1A for rental, and this recording medium is stored. The inner case 1A is housed in an outer case 1B for display, and in this state, the widest surface is used for the purpose of improving the display effect in addition to displaying in a state where the back can be seen in front (vertically placed state). There is a case where 1b (the back cover in the book) is displayed in a state where it can be seen in front (flat state).

  Therefore, various display aids (conventional examples) have been proposed in the past that enable display in this flat state.

  This conventional example is configured to hold the case body 1 in a rearward tilted state so that the widest surface 1b faces the front and upward. If the case body 1 is displayed in the rearward tilted state, the widest surface 1b is formed. An easy-to-view display state can be obtained, and furthermore, since it is difficult to fall to the front side of the display shelf, a stable display state that is difficult to fall off from the display shelf can be obtained.

  However, in all of the conventional examples, there is a case where a flat state with a good appearance cannot be obtained.
