BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.
It will be explained through the display shelf of the soft storage case.

As shown in FIG. 1, this display shelf is for displaying inner and outer cases 3 and 4 containing video software. As shown in FIG. And the inner and outer cases 3 and 4 (corresponding to the soft storage case K described in the column of the means) are supported in an upright posture by the shelf boards 2a and 2b of FIG. Then, the inner and outer cases 3 and 4 are supported in an oblique posture by the lower shelf plate 2b. In this display shelf, a partition plate 5 can be attached as shown in FIG.

Below, the inner and outer cases 3 and 4 and the shelf 2
A, 2b, etc. will be described in detail. [Regarding Configurations of Inner / Outer Cases 3 and 4] The inner case 3 is a case used for lending, and as shown in FIG. 7, the recorded video tape ST is removably housed therein.

The outer case 4 is a display-only case, and as shown in FIG. 7, it has an opening for inserting / removing the inner case 3 and the recorded contents of the recorded video tape ST are displayed on the outer surface. .

The inner and outer cases 3 and 4 are such that the rentable display portion A provided on the inner case 3 is the outer case when the inner case 3 is inserted into the outer case 4 as shown in FIG. 4 is visible through the window W provided on the front wall of the outer case 4 and is hidden by the inner case 3 when the inner case 1 is removed from the outer case 2 as shown in FIG. Rental unavailable display part B
Is visible.

In the inner / outer cases 3 and 4, the customer can judge whether or not lending is possible by visually recognizing the rentable display portion A or the rentable display portion B. In that case, the inner case 3 in which the recorded video tape is stored may be removed from the outer case 4 and brought to the counter. [Structure of Support 1 ] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the support 1 includes an upright portion 10 on which a shelf 2a is arranged and a shelf 2b.
