Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0017] (Example 1) The display case of an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6. 1 shown in FIG. 1 is a substantially rectangular parallelepiped display case for storing a stored item 2 having a spherical or curved surface shape, and the display case 1 is placed on a placement surface 3. The stored item 2 has a spherical or curved surface shape, and more specifically, is a capsule toy, a spherical bath agent, or the like.

[0018] The display box 1 has a bottom wall (not shown), a front wall 11, a right wall 12, a back wall 13, and a left wall 14 that cover all four sides, and a ceiling wall 15 that covers the space above these front wall 11, right wall 12, back wall 13, and left wall 14. The display box 1 is made of, for example, corrugated cardboard.

[0019] In a front view of the display box 1, a downward-sloping lower surface member 20 is provided inside the display box 1, facing the front opening 11A. Furthermore, a guide member 30 with a downward slope from front to rear is provided inside the display box 1 when viewed from the front. Furthermore, a guide passage (guide space) 40 is provided inside the display box 1 to guide the stored items 2 on the guide member 30 to the lower member 20. In other words, a guide member 30 is placed on top of the lowest-level stored item 2 to prevent contact between the lowest-level stored item 2 and the stored item 2 located above it.

[0020] In other words, conventionally, when spherical or curved objects are stacked and removed from the bottom layer, the objects located above the bottom layer that come into contact with it cannot move within the display box. However, with the display box 1 of this embodiment, a guide member 30 is interposed on the bottom layer object 2 to prevent contact between the bottom layer object 2 and the object 2 located above it, thereby preventing the aforementioned problem.

[0021] Furthermore, if the person who takes out the stored item 2 from the opening 11A is not satisfied with the weight or feel of the stored item 2 they have taken out, the display box 1 of this embodiment is provided with a return opening 15A on the ceiling wall 15 of the display box 1 for returning the stored item 2 taken out from the opening 11A back into the display box 1.

[0022] (Example 2) Next, display boxes of other embodiments different from those shown in Figures 1 to 6 will be described with reference to Figures 7 to 11. The display box 1 shown in Figures 7 to 11 is the same as the display box 1 shown in Figures 1 to 6, but with a contact prevention wall 31 added to the guide member 30.

[0023] Display box 1, like the embodiment 1 described above, has a bottom wall (not shown), a front wall 11, a right side wall 12, a back wall 13, and a left side wall 14 covering all four sides, and a ceiling wall 15 covering the space above these front wall 11, right side wall 12, back wall 13, and left side wall 14. Display box 1 is made of, for example, corrugated cardboard.

[0024] And, similar to Embodiment 1 described above, a downward-sloping lower surface member 20 is provided inside the display box 1, facing the front dispensing opening 11A when viewed from the front of the display box 1. Furthermore, a guide member 30 with a downward slope from front to rear is provided inside the display box 1 when viewed from the front. Furthermore, a guide passage (guide space) 40 is provided inside the display box 1 to guide the stored items 2 on the guide member 30 to the lower member 20. In other words, a guide member 30 is placed on top of the lowest-level stored item 2 to prevent contact between the lowest-level stored item 2 and the stored item 2 located above it.

[0025] In a front view of the display box 1, the stored items 2 are arranged with 2 horizontally and M vertically on the bottom member 20, and 2 horizontally and M vertically on the guide member 30, with contact prevention walls 31 provided in the vertical direction of the guide member 30. In this embodiment, for example, M is 4. The contact prevention walls 31 prevent the stored items 2 in the vertical direction of adjacent guide members 30 from coming into contact with each other. Therefore, when an item 2 is removed from the opening 11A, the contact prevention wall 31 prevents the vertically aligned items 2 of adjacent guide members 30 from coming into contact with each other, allowing the remaining items 2 to move smoothly to fill the position of the removed item 2.

[0026] (Example 3) Next, a display box of another embodiment, different from the display boxes described in Figures 7 to 11 above, will be described with reference to Figures 12 to 16. Figure 12 shows a roughly rectangular display box 1 for storing items 2 that have a spherical or curved shape, and the display box 1 is placed on a mounting surface 3. Items 2 have a spherical or curved shape, and more specifically, these include capsule toys, spherical bath salts, etc.

[0027] Display box 1, like embodiments 1 and 2 described above, has a bottom wall (not shown), a front wall 11, a right wall 12, a back wall 13, and a left wall 14 covering all four sides, and a ceiling wall 15 covering the space above these front wall 11, right wall 12, back wall 13, and left wall 14. Display box 1 is made of, for example, corrugated cardboard.

[0028] In a front view of the display box 1, a downward-sloping lower surface member 20 is provided inside the display box 1, facing the front opening 11A. Furthermore, a guide member 30' is provided inside the display box 1, which slopes downward from the rear towards the front wall 11 when viewed from the front of the display box 1. In other words, a guide member 30' is placed on top of the lowest-level stored item 2 to prevent contact between the lowest-level stored item 2 and the stored item 2 located above it. In this embodiment, the display box 1 does not have a guide passage (guide space) 40 between the guide member 30' and the bottom member 20, unlike the display box 1 shown in Figures 1 to 4 and the display box 1 shown in Figures 5 to 8. Therefore, the items stored on the lower member 20 are removed from the removal opening 11A, and the items stored on the guide member 30' are removed from the second removal opening (return opening) 15A. Furthermore, a 15A is provided on the ceiling wall 15 facing the guide member 30', on the side closer to the front wall 11 than the back wall 13 of the display box 1. This 15A serves as both a second retrieval opening and a return opening for the stored items 2.

[0029] Therefore, when the stored item 2 is removed from the outlet 11A, the remaining stored item 2 on the lower member 20 can move smoothly to fill the position of the removed stored item 2. Furthermore, when the stored item 2 is removed from the second outlet (return opening) 15A, the remaining stored item 2 on the guide member 30' can move smoothly to fill the position of the removed stored item 2. Furthermore, when returning the stored item 2, which has been removed from the dispensing opening 11A, to the display box 1, it can be returned to the display box 1 via the second dispensing opening (return opening) 15A.

[0030] (Example 4) Next, a display box of another embodiment, different from the display boxes described in Figures 12 to 16 above, will be described with reference to Figures 17 to 21. Figure 17 shows a roughly rectangular display box 1 for storing spherical objects 2, which is placed on a mounting surface 3. More specifically, the objects 2 are capsule toys, spherical bath salts, etc.

[0031] Display box 1, like embodiments 1, 2, and 3 described above, has a bottom wall (not shown), a front wall 11, a right wall 12, a back wall 13, and a left wall 14 covering all four sides, and a ceiling wall 15 covering the space above these front wall 11, right wall 12, back wall 13, and left wall 14. Display box 1 is made of, for example, corrugated cardboard.

[0032] In a front view of the display box 1, a downward-sloping lower surface member 20 is provided inside the display box 1, facing the front wall 11 where the opening 11A is located. The dispensing opening 11A is a horizontally elongated rectangular shape, and if the height of the dispensing opening 11A is H and the diameter of the spherical object 2 to be stored is L, then the relationship 1.5L ≤ H < 2L holds. In the display box 1 shown in Figure 21, if H < 1.5L, even if the stored item 2 is removed from the opening 11A, as shown in Figure 21, the stored item 2 acts in the direction of the arrow, stopping its movement, and a problem occurs where the stored item 2 cannot be removed from the opening 11A. In the display box 1 of this embodiment, since the height H of the dispensing opening 11A is set to 1.5L ≤ H < 2L, when the stored items 2 are removed from the dispensing opening 11A, the remaining stored items 2 on the lower surface member 20 move to fill the position of the removed stored items 2, thereby preventing the aforementioned problem.
