Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

This invention relates to an anti-theft subject for rental which prevents a disc recording music and screen image in a commodity received in a receiving case of a manufacturer from being stolen.

2. Description of the Related Art

In the case of displaying a receiving case or a receiving tray for a disc shipped from the manufacturer to a shop, the receiving case is left open so as to easily pick up the received disc. Accordingly, the disc is stolen.

Therefore, the disc is displayed in a state of wrapping the receiving case of the disc by a transparent synthetic resin bag (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 7-257675).

However, since the bag can be easily opened or torn up, the disc is stolen.

Accordingly, for the purpose of preventing the disc from being stolen from the receiving case or the receiving tray receiving the disc at a time of displaying, there is a structure in which the disc receiving tray in the patent document 1 is received in a display case in a shop side.

A combined system between the display case mentioned above and the disc receiving case or the disc receiving tray is structured, as shown in FIGS. 22 to 26, such that a receiving case 4 and a receiving tray are formed by a sheet 2 having a folded bending portion 1 in a middle portion, and a tray main body 3 fixed to one side of inner surfaces between an end edge of the sheet 2 and the bending portion 1 in an overlapping manner in accordance with an adhesion, and a disc 6 received in a receiving recess portion 5 of the tray main body 3 is covered by another side of the sheet 2.

A display case 7 receiving the receiving case 4 is constituted by box body 10 formed by a bottom wall 8, and side walls 9 and 9 continuously protruding from both side edges of the bottom wall 8, and a lid body 16 formed by an end wall 12 flexibly connected to one end edge of the bottom wall 8 via a half-cut hinge 11, a lid wall 14 flexibly connected to the end wall 12 via a half-cut hinge 13, and side walls 15 and 15 continuously protruding from both side edges of the lid wall 14 and covered on an outer side of the side wall 9.

The tray main body 3 is fitted to the box body 10 together with one of the sheet 2, and another of the sheet 2 in the receiving case 4 is fitted to the lid body 16 of the display case 7, as shown in FIG. 23.

At this time, the tray main body 3 is stably received in the box body 10 by accommodating a front surface side edge of the tray main body 3 by means of a flexible accommodating piece 17 connected to an open edge of the side walls 9 and 9 of the display case, and the sheet 2 is held by forming a C-shaped notch shown in FIG. 22 in a side edge of the lid wall 14 and inserting the side edge of the sheet 2 to a back side of a pressing piece 19 in an inner side of the notch 18.

Further, the display case 7 is maintained in a closed state by passing locking bar members 21 in both side edges of a plate-like body 20 through locking bar inserting portions 22 which are provided in a thinking comb shape so as to protrude to inner side surfaces of the side walls 9, 9, 15 and 15 of the box body 8 and the lid body 16 and are fitted in an engaging manner so as to be arranged in series, while inserting the plate-like body 20 to an inner side from matching end edges of the bottom wall 8 and the lid wall 14 after closing the display case 7 as shown in FIGS. 24 and 25.

The structure is made such that a locking hook 24 of the plate-like body 20 is engaged with an inner locking portion 23 of the display case 7 under a condition that the display case 7 is maintained in the closed state, thereby preventing the plate-like body 20 from being pulled up.

In this case, the plate-like body 20 can be pulled up by getting out the locking hook 24 from the locking portion 23 so as to cancel the engagement relation, while fitting a pin of a canceling device (not shown) to a through hole 26 passing through the locking portion 23 and pressing back the locking hook 24 by a leading end of the pin.

In the structure obtained by combining the receiving case and the display case, since one sheet of the receiving case and the overlapped tray main body are prevented from being escaped with respect to the box body of the display case, by means of the accommodating piece 17, it is necessary to turn up the accommodating piece 17 so as to fit one side of the sheet to the tray main body and to bring down the accommodating piece 17 so as to achieve an engaging relation after fitting. Accordingly, since a significantly lot of trouble is taken and the brought-down accommodating piece faces to a peripheral edge portion of the received disc (refer to FIG. 23), it is necessary to execute a troublesome operation of turning up the accommodating piece to a collision avoiding position at a time of taking out the disc, and falling down the accommodating piece to the position under the engaging relation after fitting the disc. Because the recording surface of the disc is scratched by the accommodating piece facing to the plate surface of the disc in the case that the disc is taken out from the receiving recess portion while the accommodating piece is kept as it is.

Further, since the end wall is continuously formed in the bottom wall of the box body via the half-cut hinge, and the lid wall of the lid body is continuously formed in the end wall via the half-cut hinge, the lid body at a time of opening falls down, in the case of opening and closing the lid body with respect to the box body of the display case (refer to FIG. 23). At this time, since another side of the sheet is pressed down to the inner surface of the lid wall in the lid body by the pressing piece, another side of the sheet of the receiving case falls down.

Accordingly, since the lid body is pulled up together with another side of the sheet every time when the display case is closed, and the lid body is next fallen down so as to cover the disc, a troublesome problem is generated.

Further, the sheet and the tray main body which are fitted to the box body are slipped toward the lid body side by the sheet which is open together with the lid body in accordance with the opening of the lid body.

Accordingly, there is generated a problem that the tray main body slipping at a time of closing the lid body and partly escaping or protruding from the box body struts so as to prevent the lid body from being smoothly closed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Accordingly, an object of this invention is to do away with a troublesome work of pressing the side edge of the sheet in the receiving case by the pressing piece and accommodating the tray main body by the accommodating piece, and do away with a troublesome man-hour of falling down the lid body of the receiving case after pulling up, only by fitting a shipping receiving case of a manufacturer to the display case in the shop side. Therefore, there has no difficulty in smoothly closing the lid body.

In order to achieve the object mentioned above, in accordance with the invention, a display case is formed by a box body structured by a bottom wall and peripheral walls protruding from respective line edges of the bottom wall, and a lid body provided in one line of the box body via an appropriate hinge so as to open and close an opening of the box body, and an appropriate lock apparatus provided in the display case. The lock apparatus can not be unlocked from the other sides than a shop side, and a locking part can be recovered in accordance with the unlock in the shop side.

Further, there is employed a structure in which an inner portion of the display case is provided with a receiving case formed by a box body receiving a commodity such as a disc or the like, and a lid body rotatably mounted via pins provided in both side wall ends of the box body, and opening and closing an opening of the box body, the box body of the receiving case is fitted to the box body of the display case, and the lid body of the receiving case is fitted to the lid body of the display case, in such a manner that the hinge and the pin of the hinge are arranged in parallel and at close positions.

Further, there may be employed a structure in which the box body of the display case is provided with a movement preventing means for preventing the pin hinge side line in the box body of the receiving case from moving in an escaping direction.

Further, a display case is formed by a box body structured by a bottom wall and peripheral walls protruding from respective line edges of the bottom wall, and a lid body provided in one line of the box body via an appropriate hinge so as to open and close an opening of the box body, and an appropriate lock apparatus provided in the display case. The lock apparatus can not be unlocked from the other sides than a shop side, and a locking part can be recovered in accordance with the unlock in the shop side.

Further, there is employed a structure in which an inner portion of the display case is provided with a receiving case formed by a box body receiving a commodity such as a disc or the like, and a lid body arranged in one line of the box body via a half-cut hinge so as to open and close an opening of the box body, the box body of the receiving case is fitted to the box body of the display case, and the lid body of the receiving case is fitted to the lid body of the display case, in such a manner that the hinge and the pin of the hinge are arranged in parallel and at close positions.

Further, a display case is formed by a box body structured by a bottom wall and peripheral walls protruding from the other line edges than one line edge of the bottom wall, a lid body structured by a lid wall and peripheral walls protruding from the other line edges than one line edge of the lid wall, and a connection wall connected to the line edge having no peripheral wall via a hinge, and an appropriate lock apparatus provided in the display case. The lock apparatus can not be unlocked from the other sides than a shop side, and a locking part can be recovered in accordance with the unlock in the shop side. Further, there may be employed a structure in which a receiving case is formed by a box body receiving a commodity such as a disc or the like, and a lid body provided in one line of the box body via a hinge so as to open and close an opening of the box body, the box body of the receiving case is fitted to the box body of the display case, in such a manner that both the hinges are arranged in parallel and at close positions, and the box body of the receiving case is set so as to be prevented from sliding with respect to the box body of the display case in a direction having no the peripheral wall via a movement preventing means.

Further, there may be employed a structure in which the box body of the display case is provided with a locking means for preventing the box body of the receiving case from escaping.

Further, there is a case that an anti-theft tag is provided in the locking part, or a notch portion leaving open the display case by pressing or hooking a fitted fingertip is provided in a predetermined position in a periphery of the display case.

Accordingly, it is possible to do away with the labor that the lid body of the receiving case is pushed down after being pulled up in accordance with the closing of the receiving case.

Further, since the structure is made such that the box body of the receiving case fitted to the box body of the display case is prevented from being slipped, by the movement preventing means, the box body of the receiving case does not slip in the direction of the lid body of the display case from the inner side of the box body of the display case, even in the case that the lid bodies of the display case and the receiving case are independently or simultaneously opened.

Accordingly, no trouble is generated at a time of closing the lid body of the display case, and the lid body can be smoothly closed. Further, since the portion having no peripheral wall in the box body and the lid body of the display case is closed by the connection wall under the condition that the display case is closed, there is obtained an effect of preventing the receiving case from being taken out within the display case.

Further, since the receiving case is prevented from being escaped with respect to the box body of the display case, by the movement preventing means or the locking means, the lid body of the receiving case can be smoothly opened.

Further, since the tag is provided in the locking part recovered in the shop side, it is unnecessary to execute a shielding operation which takes a lot of trouble at a time of taking out from the shop.

Further, only the display case can be opened or the display case and the receiving case can be simultaneously opened by pressing or hooking the fitted fingertip to the notch portion so as to open while maintaining the state.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

A description will be given of embodiments in accordance with the invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In a first embodiment in accordance with the invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, a display case K is formed by a box body 33 structured by a bottom wall 31 and a peripheral wall 32 protruding to an inner surface side of the bottom wall 31 from each of line edges of the bottom wall 31, and a lid body 35 provided in one line of the box body 33 via an appropriate hinge 34 so as to open and close an opening of the box body 33.

The lid body 35 mentioned above is structured by a lid wall 36 in an illustrated case, and a peripheral wall 37 protruding in a back surface direction of the lid wall 36 from the other line edges than one line of the lid wall 36. The hinge 34 mentioned above is formed by tube portions which are provided in a sinking comb shape in one open edge of the peripheral wall 32 and the line wall having no peripheral wall 37 in the illustrated case and are arranged in series in accordance with a fitting in an engagement manner, and a pin inserted to the tube portions. However, the hinge is not limited to a pin hinge. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the structure is made such that a connection wall 39 is continuously formed in the bottom wall 31 via a half-cut hinge 38, the lid wall 36 of the lid body 35 is continuously formed in the connection wall 39 via a half-cut hinge 40, and the connection wall 39 is outside contacted with the peripheral wall 32 at a time of closing the opening of the box body 33 by the lid body 35. However, the structure is not limited to this. For example, the structure may be made such that the lid wall 36 of the lid body 35 is continuously formed in an open edge of one line of the peripheral wall 32 via a half-cut hinge (not shown).

Of course, the peripheral wall 37 of the lid body 35 is not limited to three lines (shown in FIG. 1) except the line in a side of the hinges 34 and 40, but may be constituted only by a line opposing to the hinge 40 (which does not correspond to the structure provided in both sides shown in FIG. 6).

In the case that a molding synthetic resin of a display case K is semi-transparent or opaque, the receiving case A received in the display case K can not be seen through. Accordingly, it is preferable that a through window 41 having an appropriate shape is provided in only the lid wall 36 or both the lid wall 36 and the bottom wall 31 so as to see through.

Further, a lock apparatus B is provided in a desired line of the display case K. The lock apparatus B is provided so as to be unlocked from the other sides than a shop side as shown in FIG. 4, and such that a locking part 42 can be recovered to the shop in accordance with the unlocking operation in the shop side.

As the lock apparatus B mentioned above, for example, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, tubular bodies 43 are provided in one line of each of the box body 33 and the lid body 35 so as to be alternately fitted to each other under a closed condition and be arranged in series in a fitting state, and a slider 44 serving as the locking part 42 shown in FIG. 4 is inserted to the tubular bodies 43 arranged in series. Accordingly, the slider 44 serves as a locking bar so as to inhibit the lid body 35 from being left open with respect to the box body 33, and it is possible to inhibit the slider 44 from being taken out from the other sides than the shop side on the basis of an engagement relation between one locking portion 45 and another locking hook 46 which are provided in opposing surfaces of the slider 44 and the tubular body 43 as shown in FIG. 5. In other words, the engagement relation is set such that the locking hook 46 in which a push-back is cancelled is caught on the locking portion 45 in accordance that the insertion of the slider 44 is finished, in the illustrated case, however, the engagement relation may be achieved manually. The engagement relation is cancelled in the shop side and the slider 44 serving as the locking part 42 is recovered to the shop side, for example, by magnetically sucking the locking hook 46 made of iron pierce, canceling the engagement between the locking hook 46 and the locking portion 45 and pulling out the slider 44.

In this case, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a projection 47 protruding to an upper side in the drawing is inserted and fitted to a notch 48 provided in an end edge of the tubular body 43 in one end from a terminal end of the slider 44 so as to form an insertion stopper of the slider 44. In addition, the projection 47 is brought into contact with a magnet canceling device (not shown) and thereafter the display case K or the canceling device is slid. At this time, when sliding the canceling device while holding the display case K or sliding the display case K while holding the canceling device, the slider 44 is pulled out due to an engagement of the projection 47.

Of course, the canceling device is not limited to the magnet type, but can employ a system of canceling the engagement relation between the locking hook 46 and the locking portion 45 while pushing back the locking hook 46 by pressing a projection or a protruding shaft of the canceling device in the shop side, or a system, for example, shown in FIG. 12 of Japanese Patent Application No. 2000-345923.

As the other lock apparatus B than the apparatus mentioned above, for example, there is a lock apparatus in which a tubular body is provided in one of both the peripheral walls 32 and 37 of the box body 33 and the lid body 35, an L-shaped hook piece is provided in another, and a hook piece inserted and fitted into the tubular body from a through window of the tubular body in accordance with a closing operation of the display case K is provided, whereby the hook piece is caught on the slider by inserting the slider serving as the locking part so as to maintain a closed state of the display case K.

Of course, the locking portion 45 and the locking hook 46 having the same engagement relation as mentioned above are provided in the opposing surfaces of the slider, and the tubular body and the hook piece.

In this case, as the structure of the other lock apparatus B, it is possible to appropriately select and use a structure in Japanese Patent Application No. 10-34929, a structure in Japanese Patent Application No. 11-212589, a structure in Japanese Patent Application No. 2000-190291 and the like. The locking system is used in correspondence to the structure.

In fact, it is preferable that the structure is made such as to put the receiving case A of the disc a in the display case K so as to close the display case K, thereafter lock the lock apparatus B in the shop side, and recover the locking part 42 used for unlocking in the shop side in accordance with the rent to the shop side.

As a result, since the locking part 42 does not exist in the converted rental display case K, the display case K is not locked at a time of handling.

As shown in FIG. 2, the receiving case A received in the display case K is structured by a box body 51 receiving the disc a, and a lid body 54 in which ends of both side walls 53 and 53 are rotatably mounted to both side wall ends of the box body 51 via a pin 52.

Further, the box body 51 of the receiving case A is fitted to the box body 33 of the display case K, and the lid body 54 is fitted to the lid body 35.

At this time, the hinges 34, 38 and 40 of the display case K and the pin 52 of the hinge are set in a parallel state and at a close position.

Then, the lid body 35 of the display case K is opened, and the lid body 54 of the receiving case A is next opened.

The lid bodies 35 and 54 can be simultaneously opened as mentioned below in the opening mentioned above.

The opened lid body 54 is brought into contact with the peripheral wall 32 of the box body 33, and does not fall down in a direction of the fallen lid body 35 from a solid line in FIG. 8 after rising up after being opened. Further, when an end edge in a side of the pin 52 of the hinge in the side wall 53 rises up the lid body 54, it is in contact with an inner surface of the bottom wall 31 as shown in FIG. 10 so as to prevent the lid body from falling down.

Accordingly, the closing operation of the lid body 54 of the receiving case A can be achieved only by pushing down from the uprising position, in place of the conventional troublesome operation of pulling up the lid body from the above of the lid body 35 and next pushing down to the closed position, so that the closing operation can be smoothly performed.

In accordance with a second embodiment of the invention, as shown in FIGS. 1, 3 and 8, the structure is made such that the pin 52 side of the hinge of the box body 51 in the receiving case A is prevented from getting out by a movement preventing means 56, within the box body 33 of the display case K.

Accordingly, the box body 51 does not get out from the box body 33 in accordance with the opening of the lid body 54 of the receiving case A, and it is possible to smoothly open the lid body 54.

The movement preventing means 56 mentioned above is provided by protruding the pressing piece so as to oppose to the bottom wall 31 continuously from the upper edge of the peripheral wall 32, in the illustrated case, however, an independent part may be mounted.

In fact, it is possible to prevent the get-out by pressing the pin 52 side of the hinge in the box body 51.

Of course, the peripheral wall 32 having the movement preventing means 56 may be protruded from a necessary part, for example, only a part having the movement preventing means 56, in place of being protruded from all the length of the illustrated bottom wall 31.

Further, since the movement preventing means 56 mentioned above accommodates (presses) a line P (FIG. 11) in a side of the pin 52 of the hinge in the box body 51, the movement preventing means 56 accommodates only the box body 51 by protruding the end in the side of the pin 52 of both the side walls 53 in the lid body 54 to the line edge of the lid body 35 and mounting the protruding end to the side wall of the box body 51 via the pin 52, and does not accommodates the lid body 54.

Reference numeral 57 in the drawing denotes a window formed in the lid wall 36 for forming a piece of the movement preventing means 56.

In accordance with a third embodiment of the invention, an anti-theft tag C is provided in the locking part 42 recovered to the shop side.

The tag C has a specific ID code as is well known (for example, in Japanese Patent Application No. 11-338353), and is structured such that a resonance circuit resonates on the basis of generation of high-frequency electromagnetic field placed in an entrance door so as to modulate the high-frequency electromagnetic field in accordance with transmission of the specific ID code, at a time of passing through the entrance door of the shop, thereby detecting bringing out of the shop.

Accordingly, it is possible to inhibit the commodity displayed on the shelf in the shop under the locked condition of the lock apparatus B from being brought out, and the troublesome shielding operation of the display case K and the article (a bag or the like) are not required by recovering the locking part 42 to the shop at a time of converting the display case K for rent.

Reference numeral 59 in FIGS. 8 to 11 denotes a protruding portion for forming a gap provided in the inner surface of the peripheral wall 32 in the side of the hinges 34 and 38 of the box body 33. The gap is formed between the peripheral wall 32 and the box body 51 by this protruding portion 59, thereby avoiding the strut between the pin 52 side end edge of the side wall 53 in the opening and closing lid body 54 and the peripheral wall 32 and securing a smooth opening and closing operation of the lid body 54.

In accordance with a fourth embodiment of the invention, as shown in FIG. 12, a receiving case A′ received in the display case Kin accordance with the first embodiment is structured by the box body 51, and the lid body 54 which is provided in one line of the peripheral wall of the box body 51 via a half-cut hinge 61 so as to be freely opened and closed.

The half-cut hinge 61 mentioned above is structured by continuously forming a bottom wall 63 of the box body 51 in a lower edge of a connection wall 62 in one line of the peripheral wall of the box body 51 and the lid body 54 via the hinge 61, and forming a lid wall 64 of the lid body 54 in an upper edge of the connection wall 62 via the half-cut hinge 61 (for example, forming a synthetic resin), as shown in FIG. 14. However, a connection wall 62 of the box body 51 and the lid body 54 can only be the half-cut hinge 61 in an upper edge.

Since the structure of the display case K receiving the receiving case A′, and the structure of the lock apparatus B (having the tag C provided in the locking part 42) are the same as those of the first embodiment, and the operations and the effects of the locking and unlocking are the same, a description will be omitted.

Accordingly, since the lid body 54 of the receiving case A′ has the half-cut hinge 61, the lid body 54 does not fall down in a direction of carrying on the opening operation from the uprising position, at a time of opening the receiving case A′, in the display case K.

Accordingly, it is possible to do away with the troublesome labor of pulling up the lid body 54 and next pushing down the lid body 54 in the closing direction.

Further, a locking means S for preventing the box body 51 from getting out from the box body 33 is provided in the box body 33 of the display case K and the box body 51 fitted to the box body 33.

The locking means S mentioned above is structured such that a locking relation is achieved by fitting a recess portion 71 in one surface around the receiving case A′ to a protruding piece 72 protruding from an inner surface of the peripheral wall 32 of the display case K as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 at a time of fitting the box body 51 to the box body 33, whereby the box body 51 does not get out of the box body 33 at a time of opening the lid body 54.

Further, in addition to the structure mentioned above, the structure may be made such that a projection 74 in the peripheral wall of the box body 33 is fitted and locked to a hole 73 in the peripheral wall of the box body 51, as shown in FIGS. 15, 16 and 17.

At this time, the hole 73 and the projection 74 may be provided only in one of the opposing peripheral walls of the box body 33 in FIG. 16, or may be provided in both the opposing peripheral walls as shown in FIG. 17.

In fact, the structure may be made such that it is possible to inhibit the box body 51 from getting out of the box body 33 at a time of opening the lid body 54.

Accordingly, the box body 51 does not get out of the box body 33 in accordance with the opening of the lid body 54, and it is possible to smoothly open the lid body 54.

Further, a protruding portion 59 is provided also in an inner surface of the display case K receiving the receiving case A′ in accordance with a fourth embodiment or in the side of the half-cut hinge 61.

In accordance with a fifth embodiment of the invention, a notch portion 75 to which a fitted fingertip is pressed or hooked so as to open only the display case K or both the display case K and the receiving cases A and A′ is provided in a desired position, for example, a line opposing to the hinge 34 or both side lines of the hinge 34, around the display case K receiving the receiving case A in accordance with the first embodiment and the display case A receiving the receiving case A′ in accordance with the fourth embodiment.

The notch portion 75 mentioned above is formed by notching only the peripheral walls 32 and 37, the portion from the peripheral walls 32 and 37 to the bottom wall 31, or a part of a portion from the peripheral wall 32 to the lid wall 36.

Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 18, it is possible to open while picking up the edge of the notch portion 75 by the fingertip or pressing a palm surface of the finger to the line edge or the peripheral wall of the box body 51 or the lid body 54 of the receiving case A′ or A.

In this case, the commodity may be constituted by the other anti-theft rental commodity, for example, a video tape or the like, or the commodity received in the receiving cases A or A′, in place of the disc a.

In accordance with a sixth embodiment of the invention, as shown in FIGS. 19 to 21, the display case K is formed by the box body 33 structured by the bottom wall 31, and the peripheral wall 32 continuously protruding from the other line edges than one line edge in the bottom wall 31, the lid body 35 structured by the lid wall 36 and the peripheral wall 37 continuously protruding from the other line edges than one line edge in the lid wall 36, and a connection wall 93 connected to the line edge having no peripheral walls 32 and 37 in the bottom wall 31 and the lid wall 36 via hinges 91 and 92.

The peripheral wall 37 mentioned above is structured such as to be put on an outer side of the peripheral wall 32 of the box body 33.

The hinges 91 and 92 are structured, in the illustrated case, such that the respective portions of the box body 33 and the lid body 35 and the connection wall 93 are integrally molded by a synthetic resin, and half-cut hinges are provided in parallel on the border of the bottom wall 31 and the connection wall 93 and on the border of the lid wall 36 and the connection wall 93. However, the structure may be made such that the box body 33, the lid body 35 and the connection wall 93 are independently formed, and are connected by a pin hinge.

Further, the connection wall 93 has the same length as an entire length of the line edge of the bottom wall 31 and the lid wall 36, however, is not limited to this, and can be provided in a part of the line edge (at a single number or a plural number).

Further, the display case K is provided with the lock apparatus B which can not be unlocked by the other sides than the shop side, and in which the locking part 42 can be recovered to the shop side in accordance with the unlocking operation in the shop side.

Since the structure of the lock apparatus B and the locking part 42, and the operations and effects of the locking and unlocking are the same as those of the first embodiment, a description thereof will be omitted.

Further, the tag C is provided in the locking part 42 in the same manner as that of the third embodiment, thereby detecting that the display case K in the locked state is brought out of the shop.

Since the tag C mentioned above is the same as that of the third embodiment, a description thereof will be omitted.

The receiving case A′ is structured by the box body 51 receiving the disc a, the video tape or the like corresponding to the commodity, and the lid body 54 provided in one line of the box body 51 so as to open and close the opening of the box body 51 in such a manner as to be freely opened and closed via a pin hinge without being limited to the hinge 61 or the half-cut hinge.

In this case, since the hinge 61 and the receiving case A′ are the same as those of the fourth embodiment in the illustrated case, a detailed description will be omitted.

Then, the box body 51 of the receiving case A′ is fitted to the box body 33 of the display case K, and the lid body 54 is fitted to the lid body 35.

At this time, the receiving case A′ is fitted to the display case K such that the hinge 61 of the receiving case A′ is arranged in parallel to the hinges 91 and 92 of the display case K and at a position close thereto.

Further, the box body 51 of the receiving case A′ is prevented from sliding in the direction of the connection wall 93 with respect to the box body 33 of the display case K, by a movement preventing means 95.

The movement preventing means 95 mentioned above is structured, in the illustrated case, such that a hole 96 is provided in one of both parallel side surfaces in both the box bodies 33 and 51, and a projection or shaft 97 fitted to the hole 96 is provided in another side, whereby the slide of the receiving case A′ is prevented by fitting the projection 97 to the hole 96, on the basis of an engagement relation generated by the fitting. However, the object can be achieved by the other systems.

Accordingly, since the slide of the box body 51 within the box body 33 is prevented by the movement preventing means 95, at a time of opening the lid body 35 of the display case K and opening the lid body 54 of the receiving case A′, the box body 51 does not protrude from the open line having the connection wall 93 of the box body 33 due to the movement.

Therefore, at a time of closing the lid body 35 of the display case K, the lid body 35 can be smoothly closed without being disturbed by collision between the box body 51 of the receiving case A′ and the lid body 35 or the like.

In this case, a notch portion 75 to which the fitted fingertip is pressed or picked up is provided in a desired position around the display case K, as illustrated.

Accordingly, the same effect as that of the fifth embodiment can be achieved.

Since the notch portion 75 mentioned above is the same as that of the fifth embodiment, a description thereof will be omitted.

Further, the receiving case A′ is inhibited from being pulled out within the display case K, by the connection wall 93.

In this case, the through window 41 may be provided in the bottom wall 31 and the lid wall 36.
