2. Description of the Related Art In a video tape cassette rental shop, there is a case in which a case in which a recorded video tape cassette is directly stored is displayed in the shop and directly rented out. In some cases, an outer case containing the inner case is prepared and displayed in the store. Conventionally, such a display case for renting a video tape cassette in a rental shop indicates that it can be rented out, as disclosed in Utility Model Registration No. 3000841, for example.
A display device having an L-shaped side surface that displays words such as “RENTAL” is provided, and the display device is locked and slid on the side wall portion of the outer case so that the display device can be inserted into and removed from the outer case that constitutes the display case. A display case provided with a moving locking portion is known. Further, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 6-59293, a box-shaped second display member for displaying the characters "rental" is provided in the lower portion of the inner surface of the outer case body, and the second display member is provided. When the video tape cassette is stored in the display member, the first display member, which is also supported by a spring and on which the word "rental OK" is displayed, covers the second display member. When the video tape cassette is taken out after recognizing that the rental is possible, the elastic force of the spring provided on the first display member causes the first display member to tilt upward, so that the through hole formed in the outer case is opened. A display case of a rental video tape cassette is known in which the character "rental" is displayed on the second display member to let the user recognize that it is being rented.
