DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A preferred embodiment in which the present invention is applied to an egg cart will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a situation before the decorative cover of the present invention is attached to the egg cart, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a situation after attaching the decorative cover of the present invention to the egg cart.

[0008] The cosmetic cover 1 of the present invention comprises an egg cart 2
It is detachably attached to the front surface with a fixing tool. First, the egg cart 2 has an open front and a plurality of shelves 3 (usually a flat plate on a wire shelf) on which a product packed with a plurality of eggs such as six or ten eggs is placed. Is provided, but only a wire shelf may be used.) At the bottom of the egg cart 2, casters 4 are attached to the four corners, which can be moved from a transport truck or the like to the store with the products placed thereon, and are directly loaded into a storage room such as a showcase or a sales space in the store. The merchandise for each cart 2 can be displayed in the storage or in the sales space. The decorative cover 1 is roughly divided into caster covers 1a that can cover the casters 4 and 4 at the lower front of the egg cart 2 without hindering the movement of the casters 4, and columns 5 on both sides of the front of the egg cart 2. 6 and a support cover 1b, 1c. And
Seen from the front, the caster cover 1a is the egg cart 2
Of the casters 4 and 4 and the support covers 1b and 1
c blindfolds the struts 5 and 6 of the egg cart 2 so that scratches and dirt can be hidden.

As shown in FIG. 3, in the present embodiment, two kinds of magnets having different attraction forces are used as a fixture for detachably attaching the decorative cover 1 to the front surface of the egg cart 2. That is, the cart supports 5, 5 of the support covers 1b, 1c.
For fixing to the casters 6, the belt-shaped resinous magnets 10, 10 are used.
For fixing to the lower part, block-shaped magnets 11, 11 stronger than the strip-shaped resin magnet 10 are used. Thus, the support force of the support cover 1
If different parts are used for the parts b and 1c and the caster cover 1a, the decorative cover 1 can be easily attached and detached. In addition, although a magnet was used here as a fixture, it is not particularly limited to this. Depending on the material of the pillars 5 and 6 of the egg cart 2, other fixing means such as a fitting type or a plug type may be used.

Incidentally, the caster cover 1a of the decorative cover 1 can be further subdivided as shown in FIG.
b, 1c, and the block-shaped magnet 11,
The inner plate 1 has a hole through which the inner plate 11 penetrates, and a lower portion closely adheres to the decorative outer plate 12 side in an inverted U-shape, wraps a reinforcing plate 13 described later, and has a bent portion 14a whose lowermost portion extends rearward.
4 and a box-shaped reinforcing plate 13 for increasing the strength of the decorative cover 1 wrapped in the inner plate 14. By making the bent portion extending rearward at the lowermost portion of the inner plate 14 have an acute angle α with respect to the vertical direction (see FIG. 4), the decorative cover 1 is hard to fall forward.

FIGS. 6 and 7 show such a decorative cover 1.
Is attached to the egg cart 2 and moved as it is into a storage such as the showcase 20 and arranged side by side. The adjacent carts are brought close to each other and the side of the decorative cover 1 attached thereto is shown. They are arranged in contact with each other. The showcase 20 has both side plates 21 and 21 with a large opening at the front so that the egg cart 2 on which eggs are placed can be pushed and stored as it is. Then, the cool air is blown downward from the cool air outlet 22 on the front side of the ceiling of the showcase 20 to keep the eggs in the egg cart 2 cool.

As described above, the egg cart 2 is accommodated in the showcase 20, and the front surface of the egg cart 2 is covered with the decorative cover 1.
b and 1c can cover dirt and scratches on the front supports 5 and 6 of the egg cart 2, and the caster cover 1a of the decorative cover 1 can cover the caster portion of the egg cart 2 and its dirt and scratches. Further, at this time, if the lower end of the caster cover 1a is in contact with the floor surface and covers the lower front surface of the egg cart 2, the outside air near the floor can be prevented from entering the showcase 20 as much as possible. In particular, when a shelf made of wire is used as the shelf 3 of the egg cart 2 instead of a flat shelf, the cool air blown from the ceiling flows down each shelf and smoothly flows to the bottom of the refrigerator. Since the air flows in and accumulates, the outside air is not sucked into or penetrated into the refrigerator from the bottom, which contributes to energy saving. In addition,
The decorative outer panel 12 of the caster cover can be selected in each store so as to be unified with the design of the showcase 20 and other showcases installed in the store.

[0013]

As described above, according to the decorative cover of the commodity cart of the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. (1) The unsightly caster portion of the product cart can be hidden, and the design can be unified with the design of other showcases installed in the store, so that the appearance is extremely good. (2) Workability is good because the fixture can be easily and quickly attached even after being carried into a storage room or the like. In particular, if the fixture is a magnet or the like, the cosmetic cover can be attached to the front of the product cart with one touch. (3) In addition to the caster cover covering the caster portion, the makeup cover is provided with a pillar cover that covers the pillars on both sides of the front of the product cart. Can be hidden. (4) When the product is carried into the storage, the caster cover of the decorative cover is covered with the lower front surface of the product cart such that the lower end thereof is in contact with the floor surface, so that the cool air from the cool air outlet is cooled by the floor inside the store. And the outside air near the floor can be prevented from entering the storage, thereby contributing to energy saving. (5) When selling a large quantity of products such as on a special sale day, the product cart can be placed in two stages in front and back. (6) Since the bent portion extending rearward from the lowermost portion of the inner plate of the decorative cover is formed at an acute angle with respect to the vertical direction, the decorative cover is less likely to fall forward such as a storage. (7) Since the magnet has a different attraction force between the support cover portion and the caster cover portion, the decorative cover can be easily attached and detached. (8) In addition to the caster cover, the decorative cover also has a column cover extending upward, so that the portion can be used instead of a handle, and is easy to carry.
