  As described above, the folding table 5 having a conventional structure has the shelf plate 5a supported by the bracket 6 in a protruding state in which the attitude of the shelf plate 5a is regulated to a horizontal angle. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, customers in the store visually observe the promotional items 7 arranged on the shelf 5a from the front passage of the open showcase from an oblique direction.

  By the way, the promotional items 7 arranged on the table 5 have various types and shapes. If they are displayed side by side on the shelf 5a protruding in a horizontal position as shown in the drawing, depending on the shape and type of the promotional items 7, The contents and display may be difficult to recognize from diagonally forward. In such a case, it is possible to enhance the recognition and appeal to the customer by rearranging the sales promotion products 7 in the forward tilt posture.

  Therefore, the present invention can enhance the display effect of the promotional items arranged on the shelf of the sales promotion table mounted on the lower front part of the open showcase to improve the recognition and appeal to customers. An object of the present invention is to provide an open showcase having an improved shelf support structure.

In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, a foldable table that protrudes from the hanging position toward the front outside the cabinet is provided at the lower front portion of the front-opening main body case in which the product display shelf is mounted in the cabinet. The table is an open showcase, and the table has a rear end portion of the shelf board hinged to a mounting frame provided on the front wall of the main body case, and the table shelf board is projected and supported in a posture through a shelf receiving member. In what I did,
The table is provided with shelf angle adjusting means for setting the shelf protruding posture of the table to a horizontal and forward tilted posture (Claim 1), and specifically configured in the following manner.
(1) As the shelf angle adjusting means, the shelf receiving member is a stay arm that pivotally supports the rear end of the shelf on the mounting frame, engages the front end with a shelf of the table, protrudes the shelf, and supports the shelf in a posture. An adjusting member is provided on the rear surface of the shelf plate facing the stay arm to hold the tip of the stay arm and hold the shelf plate at a shelf angle corresponding to a horizontal posture or a forward tilt posture. ).
(2) A folding shelf fence is provided at the front end of the table shelf.

  According to the said structure, the shelf board protrusion attitude | position of the foldable table provided in the front part of the open showcase can be selected and set to horizontal or a forward inclination angle. As a result, in the sales promotion in the store using a foldable table, the promotional items to be displayed side by side on the shelf of this table are set at a shelf angle that is easy to see according to the type and shape, thereby recognizing the promotional items. ， Can enhance appeal.

  In addition, by providing a folding shelf fence at the front edge of the shelf of the table, the promotional items arranged on the shelf in the forward tilt position are prevented from falling forward from the shelf, and when the table is not used. Can be folded out of the way of the shelf fence.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the examples shown in FIGS. In addition, in the figure of an Example, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same member corresponding to FIG. 4, FIG. 5, and the description is abbreviate | omitted.
The folding table of the illustrated embodiment basically has the same structure as the conventional one, but the point different from the conventional one is a shelf angle adjusting means for setting the protruding position of the shelf plate to a horizontal or forward inclined position in the state of use of the table. The detailed structure is described below.

  That is, the shelf 5a (made of metal plating) of the foldable table 5 has a rear end portion thereof attached to the front surface of the front wall 1a of the open showcase with respect to the mounting frame 8 via the hinge fittings 5b on the upper left and right ends. It is connected so that it can rotate in the vertical direction.

  On the other hand, in the illustrated embodiment as a shelf receiving member that protrudes and supports the shelf plate 5a in a posture, a bearing portion formed by bending a metal bar or pipe material into a U shape as shown in FIG. 9a is provided with a stay arm 9 pivotally supported at the lower position of the left and right side walls of the mounting frame 8 so as to be pivotable in the vertical direction via a hinge pin. A shelf angle corresponding to the horizontal posture and the forward tilted posture of the shelf plate 5a is held on the back surface of the shelf plate 5a of the table 5 so as to face the tip side portion of the stay arm 9 and the stay arm 9 is latched. An adjusting member 10 is provided to be locked and held at the position.

  The adjusting member 10 is a sheet metal part formed with side walls depending on both left and right sides and spot-welded to the back surface of the shelf plate 5a, and the side walls are positioned forward and backward as shown in FIGS. 1 (d) and 1 (e). Recessed engaging grooves 10a and 10b for latching the tip of the stay arm 9 by shifting are formed in the notch. The engagement groove 10a corresponds to the horizontal shelf angle of the shelf plate 5, and the engagement groove 10b corresponds to the forward tilt shelf angle of the shelf plate 5a.

  Furthermore, the shelf 5a of the table 5 is provided with a foldable shelf fence 11 extending left and right along its front edge. The shelf fence 11 is made of, for example, a transparent resin and is pivotally connected to the front end portion of the shelf board 5a. A rotation stop rib 11a for positioning the shelf fence 11 in a standing posture is formed on the lower end side thereof. Yes.

  Next, a procedure for using the folding table 5 having the above-described configuration will be described. First, FIG. 1A shows a state in which the table 5 is folded, and the shelf board 5a and the stay arm 9 connected to the mounting frame 8 hang down on the front surface of the front wall 1 with their hinge coupling ends facing upward. ing. In this state, the shelf fence 11 provided at the tip of the shelf board 5a is folded as shown so as to overlap the plate surface of the shelf board 5a.

  In order to use the shelf 5a of the table 5 in a horizontal posture from this state, the tip side of the stay arm 9 is lifted with the shelf 5a lifted upward as shown in FIGS. 1 (b) and 1 (d). The portion is latched in the engaging groove 10 a of the adjusting member 10. Thus, the shelf board 5a is supported in the illustrated horizontal posture. The shelf fence 11 is raised in a standing posture to prevent the promotional items 7 (see FIG. 3) placed on the shelf from dropping forward.

  In addition, when the shelf 5a of the table 5 is supported by protruding in a forward inclined posture, the tip of the stay arm 9 is lifted with the shelf 5a lifted upward as shown in FIGS. 1 (c) and 1 (e). Is engaged with the engaging groove 10b of the adjusting member 10. Thereby, the shelf board 5a is supported in the forward leaning posture as illustrated.

  As described above, when the folding table 5 is used by protruding forward from the case of the open showcase, the shelf board 5a is selected according to the type and shape of the promotional items 7 (see FIG. 3) arranged on the shelf board 5a of the table 5. By setting the projecting position of the camera to a horizontal or forward tilt angle, it is possible to enhance the cognition and appeal to the customer by exhibiting the optimal display effect.

  As a means for adjusting the shelf projection angle of the folding table, in the illustrated embodiment, the tip end of the stay arm 9 bent into a U shape is hooked on the armature 10 disposed on the back surface of the shelf 5a, and the horizontal position is set. However, the adjusting means is not limited to the structure of the illustrated embodiment. For example, after the stay arm 9 is divided into a pair of left and right arms, The protruding position of the shelf board 5a is adjusted by directly engaging the front end with an angle adjusting engagement groove formed on the left and right edges of the shelf board 5 or by making the length of the stay arm 9 adjustable. It is also possible to variably set the horizontal or forward tilt angle.
