TECHNICAL FIELD This invention relates to an engagement member used in a display device for displaying various merchandise items such as clothes, and other items.
BACKGROUND ART In general, a display device includes a panel (base material) fixed to a vertical wall surface and an engagement member removably attached to a front surface of this panel. A plurality of engagement parts are formed on the front surface of the panel in a vertical relation with a predetermined space. The engagement member includes a main body part and an engagement part disposed at the main body part. The engagement part is removably engaged with selected one of the engagement parts. Owing to the foregoing arrangement, the engagement member is removably connected to the panel at a desired position (see Patent Documents 1 through 3).
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problem to be Solved by the Invention The main body part of the engagement member has a variety of lengths depending on for what purpose the engagement member is to be used. Therefore, it is necessary to manufacture engagement members as many kinds as corresponding to the number of main body parts each having a different length and thus, the manufacturing cost is increased.
Means for Solving the Problem In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, according to a first mode of the present invention, there is provided an engagement member for a display device comprising a main body part having a predetermined length in a vertical direction and an engagement part disposed at the main body part and removably engaged with a front surface part of a base material, characterized in that the engagement part is separately formed from the main body part and removably attached to the main body part.
EFFECT OF THE INVENTION In order to manufacture engagement members whose main body parts have a different length for each, main body parts each having a different length are manufactured and then, engagement members are simply attached to the respective main body parts. That is, with respect to the main body parts, it is necessary to manufacture main body parts each having a different length as many as corresponding to different lengths of the engagement members. However, with respect to the engagement members, they are not required to be manufactured as many kinds as corresponding to the main body parts each having a different length but only one kind of engagement members are good enough to be manufactured. Therefore, the manufacturing cost of the engagement members can be reduced.
