17 is a side surface 2a of the main door 2 corresponding to the lock member 13;
It is a locking member made of a flexible material such as a leaf spring provided in
It is fixed to part a, and a contact part 18 is formed at the other end,
A lock portion 20 that engages and disengages from the lock hole 14 of the lock member 13 is formed in the intermediate portion.

That is, the locking member 17 is provided on the outer wall of the side surface 2a of the main door 2, allows the locking portion 20 to move freely into the exhibition room 3 through an escape hole 19 formed in the side surface 2a, and is normally locked by elasticity. The portion 20 protrudes to the inside of the exhibition room 3 and engages with the lock hole 14 of the locking member 13 of the closed transparent door 4 to lock the transparent door 4 in the closed state, and the contact portion 18 The locking part 20 is disengaged from the locking hole 14 by moving the locking part 20 outwardly against elasticity to release the locking part 20 from the exhibition room 3.

Further, on the front part of the main body 1 corresponding to the locking member 17,
The front end of the outer box 1a forming the outer wall of the main body 1 is bent inward, and a regulating part 15 is provided which is further bent backward, so that when the main door 2 is closed to the main body 1, the locking member 17 comes into contact with the outer box 1a. The contact portion 18 is located in a position corresponding to the restriction portion 15 so as to be abutted thereon.

That is, the regulating part 15 locks the locking member 17 when the main door 2 is in the closed state.
to prevent the corresponding contact portion 18 from moving outward, that is, from moving the tank portion 20 away from the lock hole 14 and attempting to escape to the outside of the exhibition room 3. It consists of

Because of the above configuration, when the main door 2 is in the closed state, the lock portion 20 of the locking member 17 fixed to the side surface of the main door 2 locks the locking member 13 provided on the transparent door 4. Since the hole 14 is locked and the contact portion 18 of the locking member 17 is in contact with the regulating portion 15 of the main body 1, the see-through door 4 is locked and cannot be opened.

Here, the opening operation of the see-through door 4 when exchanging the product sample S will be explained.

First, the administrator's key is inserted into the lock device 7 to open the front door 8, and then the lock device 10 is operated to open the main door 2.
