Description

  The present invention relates to a commodity display shelf. More specifically, the present invention relates to a product display shelf having a shelf board and a frame board provided with lighting fixtures that illuminate products to be displayed.

  In the prior art, in order to effectively produce products displayed on the product display shelf, the products are illuminated with lighting fixtures, and there are also product display shelves with lighting fixtures attached to shelf boards. Yes.

For example, an illuminating lamp is attached to the front part of the lower surface of one of the shelf boards in a product display shelf, a horizontally long slit is provided at the upper part thereof, and light emitted upward from the illuminating lamp is deflected rearward on the shelf board By engaging the recessed stepped parts provided at the front and rear parts of the horizontally long prism to be engaged with the front and rear edges of this slit and fitting them from above, the product on the shelf board is illuminated from the front and lower side. A shelf illuminating device or the like in a product display device that can enhance the effect of production has been devised (see Patent Document 1).

  However, since the fluorescent lamp is mainly used for the illumination of the product display shelf as described above, the size of the shelf board and the entire shelf is limited by the length of the fluorescent lamp, and the shelf board is also illuminated. If the fixture itself is attached, the structure becomes complicated and the entire shelf plate becomes large, so that it is difficult to change the arrangement of the shelf plate, and the maintenance of the lighting fixture is not easy.

  In addition, lighting fixtures using incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps, and the like also have problems that the product is deformed by the heat generated by the light source, and that the product is deteriorated by ultraviolet rays contained in the light from the light source.

  Therefore, there is a problem to be solved by providing a merchandise display shelf having a configuration in which there is no deterioration of the merchandise due to heat and light from the illuminator, and the arrangement of the shelves and the maintenance of the illuminator are easy.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the product display shelf according to the present invention includes an illuminating unit that uses light-emitting diodes arranged at predetermined intervals on an end face of a transparent plate-like member having a predetermined light diffusion pattern printed on one side. A shelf plate or a frame plate is used in which the end face of the transparent plate member and the light emitting end of the light emitting diode are arranged facing each other.

  Light emitted from light emitting diodes arranged at predetermined intervals is incident from the end face of the transparent plate-like member and printed on one side of the transparent plate-like member by the product display shelf using the shelf board or the frame board having such a configuration. The incident light is diffused by a predetermined light diffusion pattern to illuminate a product displayed on the plate surface.

  The shelf board and the frame board used for the commodity display shelf of the present invention are arranged so that the lighting device using the arranged light emitting diodes as the light source faces the end face of the transparent plate-like member having a light diffusion pattern printed on one side. Since it is integrated, it is easy to change the arrangement of the shelf board, greatly reducing the maintenance effort, and it is possible to create lighting fixtures that match the size of the shelf board and frame board. It plays.

  In addition, since lighting fixtures using light-emitting diodes as light sources are used, they are (1) smaller and lighter than lighting fixtures using incandescent or fluorescent lamps as light sources, and (2) hardly generate heat. (3) Low power consumption and low power consumption, (4) Long life, easy handling and low maintenance, (5) Ultraviolet rays Since it is not included, there is an advantage that the product does not attract insects and can prevent fading and deterioration.

  Furthermore, since there are light emitting diodes that emit light of various colors, it is possible to improve the effect of the product by combining them freely, and a transparent plate with a product name, logo mark, etc. printed on the frame plate The product display shelf itself can be used as a billboard for advertising purposes.

  Next, an embodiment of the product display shelf of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the drawings are only for explanation, and do not limit the technical scope of the present invention.
