Thus, for example, when the heating plate is attached to the lower surface of the shelf plate, the heating plate can be positioned with reference to the bending position of the bent portion of the shelf plate. In addition, even if the moisture on the shelf board flows down to the bent side, the bent section is inclined downward toward the outside of the shelf board, so the water that has flowed into the hole of the folded board is It does not flow to the side.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the product shelf of the showcase according to the first aspect, the bent portion is bent such that its upper side is inclined downward toward the outer side of the shelf board, and The lower side is formed so as to be bent toward the inside of the shelf board, and a pair of upper and lower holes into which the ends of the partition member are inserted are provided on the upper side and the lower side of the bent portion, respectively.

Thus, in addition to the effect of the first aspect, the partition member is held upright by the pair of upper and lower holes of the bent portion.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the product shelf of the showcase according to the first or second aspect, a guard member for restricting the forward movement of the product is provided on the front end side of the shelf board, and the guard member has a width direction. Both ends are configured to be inserted into holes on both widthwise ends of the bent portion provided on the front end side of the shelf plate.

Thus, in addition to the effect of the first or second aspect, since the guard member is attached by inserting the guard member into the hole of the shelf board, it is necessary to provide a dedicated attaching portion for attaching the guard member. There is no.
