  The first container assembly 91 among the container assemblies 91 to 95 has been described above. The container assemblies 91 to 95 are provided so as to surround the internal space 80 as shown in FIG. Accordingly, when entering the internal space 80, as shown in FIG. 7, the first to fifth container assemblies 91 to 95 exist at an equal distance, and the doors are opened and closed with little movement, thereby exhibiting You can access the booth. Since each door is made of wood, the inside animals will not be excited to see the animals in the exhibition booth of the face-to-face container assembly. You can see the inside of the booth. The breeder can open the door, feed water to the tray 82 placed in the booth or the water tray inside the door, feed it, or touch the animal directly to drink milk or perform medical examinations. .

  The collective exhibition facility 10 described above has a maximum of 20 exhibition booths inside, and the inside animals can be easily observed through glass from the outside. In the state where the door 15 is closed, the space of the exhibition booth where animals are displayed or raised is cut off from the outside, and the air conditioning equipment 98 on the ceiling 12 harmonizes the air inside. Therefore, the odor produced by the breeding of animals is hardly felt outside. On the other hand, if the door 15 is opened and the interior space 80 is entered through the passage 79, access to each exhibition booth is easy. For example, a pet desired by a purchaser who has viewed the displayed animals through the glass can be obtained. It is easy for the administrator to take out and take it out of the collective display facility 10.

  FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing a state in which two collective exhibition facilities 10, 110, 112 are arranged in the animal display room 115. FIG. Since the collective display facility 10 of this embodiment has a substantially hexagonal prism shape, it can be efficiently arranged indoors.

A customer who wishes to purchase a pet or the like can stop as necessary and watch the animals in the booth while walking outside the collective display facility 10, 110, 112. In the example of the exhibition room 115 shown in FIG. 8, since three collective exhibition facilities are arranged, it is possible to see animals accommodated in a maximum of 20 × 3 = 60 exhibition booths only by going around the room. .

  In addition, the collective display facilities of the embodiments are highly independent and the interior is shielded from the outside, so even if a disease occurs in one collective display facility, The impact will be limited. In addition, in animals, especially animals with strong collective characteristics, if one animal panics, it is easy to propagate to other animals, but there is no sound or smell outside the collective exhibition facility, so this situation is There is no propagation to the exhibition facility. In addition, since feeding is performed one by one at the collective display facility at the time of feeding or the like, the influence of the smell of food (meal) is limited to the inside of the collective display facility.

  Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to such an embodiment and can of course be implemented in various modes. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the collective display facility may have a circular cross section. In this case, the outer glass may be curved glass. Although the interior can be divided into any number, the collective display facility 150 shown in FIG. 9 is divided into first to fifth container assemblies 131 to 135 in accordance with the above embodiment. In this case, the internal space 140 is also generally circular. However, if each of the container assemblies 131 to 135 is flat on the side of the internal space 140, the planar shape of the internal space 140 is the same as that of the embodiment shown in FIG. . In the example of FIG. 9, the door 145 is also curved.

It is only necessary that the internal containers are arranged in an annular shape. Note that the annular shape here does not necessarily have to be closed, and as shown in the embodiment, a portion necessary for the entrance to the internal space may be cut off. The container assembly including the display booth may be arranged in a completely annular shape, and may enter the internal space through, for example, a passage provided on the floor side. Alternatively, at least one container assembly may move to form a passage into the internal space.

  The collective exhibition facility is not limited to a geometric shape such as a hexagon or a circle, but may be an irregular shape. Further, the number and position of the external shape and the internal division may be different. Examples of the internal shape of the collective display facility are shown in FIGS. 10 (A) to 10 (D). 10 (A) and 10 (B) are examples in which a flat N-gonal set display facility is divided into a radial pattern to provide display booths, and FIGS. 10 (C) and 10 (D) are flat N-gonal sets. An example is shown in which an exhibition booth is divided by dividing the inside of the exhibition facility regardless of the N-gon shape. In FIG. 10, the symbol DR indicates a door provided at the entrance of the passage PW leading to the internal space IS.

  In the above embodiment, a double door is provided on the inner space side of each exhibition booth. However, the door may be a common sheet for the left and right exhibition booths. It may also be a drawer type that opens to the front. Furthermore, it is good also as a mere partition without using it as a door. Moreover, it is good also as a structure which can draw out the whole exhibition booth like a drawer. In this case, since the exhibition booth has a wide structure toward the outside, as shown in FIG. 11, a partition wall 200 may be provided between the adjacent exhibition booths 211 to 215, and the exhibition booth may be rectangular. . In the example of FIG. 11, each of the exhibition booths 211 to 215 is configured like a drawer, and a handle 230 is provided to be pulled out.
