In order to dispose the curved holding groove 122, it is formed as a curved curved holding portion 121A on the front side, whereas in the product sample display device of the vending machine according to the fourth embodiment, The front surface of the stage-shaped product placement portion 121D of the sample display portion 12D is straight, and is connected to the base 111 constituting the mounting portion 11 of the product information display member 2 without any step, and the product placement portion 12 In that a rail-shaped holder 13 disposed in the left-right direction behind the mounting holes 123 to exhibit a three-dimensional shape product samples 32 D. Since the other configuration is the same as that of the display stand 1A of the first embodiment, a duplicate description is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 7, in the display stand 1D according to the fourth embodiment, the front surface of the stage-shaped product placement portion 121D of the product sample display portion 12D is linear, and the product placement portion 121D displays the product information. It is connected to the base 111 constituting the mounting portion 11 of the member 2 without a step. For this reason, the shadow which may arise when the light from an illumination light source is irradiated to the curved holding | maintenance part 121A convex to the front side like the display stand 1A in Embodiment 1 can be eliminated.

  The stage-shaped product placement portion 121D of the product sample display section 12D has a curved holding groove 122D for displaying the sheet-shaped product sample 31 made of a thin flat plate and a mounting hole 123 for displaying the three-dimensional product sample 32. A plurality of holding grooves 122D and mounting holes 123 that are adjacent to each other in the front-rear direction and that are adjacent to the front-rear direction are formed in the left-right direction. Sawtooth-like projections PJ that mesh with each other alternately are formed on the inner walls facing the front and rear of the one holding groove 122D, and a minute gap is formed between the tips of the projections PJ. The serrated protrusions PJ are scattered in the holding groove 122D, and are formed at three points, here, both ends of the arc and the center of the arc. The stage-shaped product placement portion 121D of the product sample display section 12D is provided with a rail-shaped holder 13 disposed in the left-right direction behind the mounting hole 123 for displaying the three-dimensional product sample 32. Yes. The holder 13 includes a front rail portion 131 and a rear rail portion 132 facing each other in the front-rear direction, and sawtooth-shaped protrusions PJ that mesh with each other alternately on the wall surfaces facing the front rail portion 131 and the rear rail portion 132 in the left-right direction. And a minute gap is formed between the tips of the protrusions PJ. This holder 13 latches and holds a sheet-like appeal display member 33 described later.

  Now, as shown in FIG. 8, a sheet-like holding groove 122 </ b> D and a mounting hole 123 formed in the product placement portion 121 </ b> D of the product sample display portion 12 </ b> D in the display stand 1 </ b> D are formed in a sheet shape as in the first embodiment. A product sample 31 and a three-dimensional product sample 32 are mounted and displayed. Further, the appeal display member 33 is mounted on the holder 13 disposed behind the mounting hole 123 formed in the product placement portion 121D and in the left-right direction. In FIG. 8, in order to explain the appeal display member 33, the three-dimensional product sample 32 or the sheet-like product sample 31 that is displayed at a corresponding location of the product placement unit 121 </ b> D is not shown. The appeal display member 33 is a pattern expressing a beverage related to the three-dimensional product sample 32 or the sheet-shaped product sample 31 displayed in the product placement unit 121D, for example, a pattern in which bubbles are imagined when the beverage is a carbonated beverage ( The figure is composed of a rectangular flat sheet printed with a bubble pattern). The appeal display member 33 is displayed in a standing state by inserting the lower end of the appeal display member 33 between the front rail portion 131 and the rear rail portion 132 constituting the holder 13. In this case, since sawtooth-like projections PJ (see FIG. 7) that alternately mesh with each other are formed on the opposing wall surfaces of the front rail portion 131 and the rear rail portion 132, the front rail portion 131 and the rear rail portion 132 are The appeal display member 33 inserted therebetween is positioned and maintained in a stable standing posture. In addition, although the appeal display member 33 shown in FIG. 8 demonstrated the thing of rectangular flat plate shape shorter than the goods mounting part 121D, the two display stands which corresponded to the length of the goods mounting part 121D, or were connected. It can also be made into a horizontally long belt-like sheet having a length extending over 1D and 1D. In addition, the appeal display member 33 can be produced in the same size as the sheet-like product sample 31 and can be individually disposed in front of the three-dimensional product sample 32 by being attached to a single holding groove 122D.

  Here, the sawtooth-shaped projections PJ that are alternately engaged with each other and formed in the one holding groove 122D in the product placement portion 121D are implemented in that the sheet-like product sample 31 (or individual appeal display member 33) is held. This is the same as the first embodiment. However, in the first embodiment, the sawtooth 122A is continuously formed in the holding groove 122, whereas in the fourth embodiment, the sawtooth-shaped protrusions PJ are formed in the holding grooves 122D. Has the following advantages. That is, when the sawtooth 122A is continuously formed in the holding groove 122 as in the first embodiment (see (c) in FIG. 3), it is formed over the entire area of the holding groove 122 by the continuous sawtooth 122A. Since the sheet-shaped product sample 31 must be inserted into the minute gap, the work is complicated, and the sheet-shaped product sample 31 made of acrylic resin having a high thermal expansion coefficient expands and contracts due to the outside air temperature. When the sheet-like product sample 31 is remarkably stretched by direct irradiation, the sheet-like product sample 31 may be deformed because the expansion and contraction is prevented by the continuous saw-tooth 122 A. In this respect, in the fourth embodiment, the saw-tooth-like protrusion PJ has a holding groove. Since the sheet-like product sample 31 is formed to be interspersed with 122D, it is easy to insert the sheet-like product sample 31 into the holding groove 122D, and the sheet-like product sample 3 The sheet-like product 31 is not deformed by allowing expansion and contraction due to the thermal expansion of the sawtooth projection 31. In this case, sawtooth-shaped protrusions formed at three points of both ends of the arc and the center of the arc in the holding groove 122D. Of the PJs, only the center part of the arc or only one of the projections PJ at both ends of the arc (for example, the projection PJ on the right end side) grips the sheet-like product sample 31, and the remaining projections PJ are sheet-like product samples. It is good to support so that 31 may maintain a standing posture.In this way, if only the left-right center part or only one of the left-right edge part of the sheet-like product sample 31 is hold | gripped, a sheet-like product sample 31 can be freely expanded and contracted in the left-right direction or the other left-right direction.

  Needless to say, the length of the holding groove 122D is longer than the width of the sheet-like product sample 31 in consideration of the expansion and contraction of the sheet-like product sample 31. In addition, among the serrated projections PJ formed in the holding grooves 122D, the projections PJ of the portions that hold the sheet-like product sample 31 are marked with marks (for example, arrows or convex symbols) and the sheet-like product sample. It is also possible to attach a mark (for example, an arrow or a concave symbol) to a corresponding portion of 31 and insert the sheet-shaped product sample 31 by matching the mark.
