[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above problems, according to the present invention, a plurality of product samples made of a light-transmitting material are arranged vertically in a shelf-like manner in an exhibition room that is partitioned in the front part and is used to advertise and display products for sale. The vending machine is equipped with a display stand, in which the product samples displayed on the display stand are formed in an f′L array on the display stand below in correspondence with each product sample. Illuminating with light from lighting lights disposed directly below the holes on the lower side of each of the display stands, entering the inside of the product sample from the bottom side through holes penetrating the display stand vertically. In the product sample display 5I of the vending machine to be exhibited, a shielding plate for shielding the hole is removably disposed between the illumination light and the hole on the lower side of the display stand.

[Effect]

This invention provides a plurality of display stands arranged vertically in a fence-like manner in an exhibition room which is partitioned in the front part and which advertises and displays products for sale, and which displays product samples made of a light-transmitting material at the bottom of each of the display stands. A shielding plate that shields the hole is removably installed between the illumination light placed directly under the hole that penetrates the exhibition stand vertically, and the hole is attached. The illumination light is blocked by a shielding plate and cannot pass through the hole formed in the display stand directly above the illumination light, and the product samples displayed on the display stand are not illuminated from below, making it difficult to actually see the products. In addition to displaying colored materials such as opaque empty cans with no contents in them as product samples, when the shielding plate is removed, the light from the lamp passes through the hole and illuminates the products on the display stand directly above. Since the light enters the sample from below, the product sample made of a light-transmitting material can be displayed and displayed in a way that makes it stand out as if it were a light-emitting object.
