DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED FORMS OF EMBODIMENT

[0041] A display case for glasses (9) is described, particularly for graduated glasses with set graduation, for self-service at commercial establishments such as chemists, but also at any other kind of establishment run by shop assistants.

[0042] The display case consists of a body (1), normally a usually prismatic body comprising a support stand (2), and possibly decorative bases (3) for holding the body of the display case on said support stand. This body has one or more sides for displaying and housing the products on sale. As has already been stated, the base can be rotating, especially when the display case has more than one side for displaying and holding the products.

[0043] This body comprises several differentiated zones.

[0044] A first zone constitutes the zone for holding and displaying the different models of glasses; this zone comprises a front panel (4) which is provided with items for holding the glasses (9). These holding items consist of different support rods (11), also comprising a pair of holes (5) in the position for each of the glasses for inserting the side pieces. The glasses (9) are thus simply supported so that any user can see them and try them on if they so wish.

[0045] Beside the zone for holding and displaying the glasses there is a set of pigeonholes (6), comprising a plurality of niches (12) in which the boxes (10) holding the glasses are held. Each of these boxes clearly indicates the graduation of the glasses (9) contained in this, as well as any other indication, such as the reference number or some other identification of the model in question.

[0046] The display case also comprises, generally in an upper zone, a zone for verifying the graduation (8), where there are texts or other illustrations in which glasses with different graduations can be tried out.

[0047] In particular, according to one example of an embodiment, the zone for holding and display has at its top, beside the mirror and verification zone, a set of glasses (9) of the same model, each one with a different graduation, for example between +1.00 and +3.50 dioptres at intervals of half a dioptre, coming to a total of six units, so that the user wishing to find out what is the most appropriate graduation for them will try one or another, looking at the verification zone (8). According to this embodiment, there is a zone with a mirror (7) beside the verification zone in which users can look at themselves with the chosen model or with the reference model on, where they can finally decide whether to purchase this model. The mirror will be tilted at a suitable angle depending on the height at which this mirror is located, from 0 to 60.

[0048] Still in accordance with the preferential embodiment, not limiting this, the glasses of different graduation for the model in question are placed beside each model of glasses, normally in their box or corresponding support, which means that it will be simple for the user to select and take the required glasses with no significant possibility of error.

[0049] Insofar as the most commonly required graduations lie between +1.50 and +2.50 dioptres, it is intended for some of the models to have only glasses provided with this graduation, while others may have a wider range, for example from +1.00 to +3.50 dioptres at intervals of half a dioptre.

[0050] According to the preferential embodiment described, the set of pigeonholes will be three niches wide, in general corresponding to each model of glasses, except for some models which will group two or more rows of niches, for example six niches, as described.

[0051] Each package of glasses will obviously have on the outside (the side visible when placed in the display case), normally one of the smaller sides, both the graduation and the model of glasses contained in this or even a graphic representation of said model of glasses.

[0052] The display case will optionally be formed of a set of modules placed side by side.
