  As described above, since the long brackets 26 and 26 that support the shelf board 16 are arranged at positions spaced apart from the floor surface by a predetermined height, there is a lower space between the shelf board 16 and the floor surface. Part 18 is formed. The lower space portion 18 is open in the left-right direction because the support column 2 and the base leg 6 are connected in an L shape in a side view.

  As shown in FIG. 3, a shopping cart 20 used by a shopper includes a lower cart unit 22 having wheels 21, 21,... (Caster unit) and a column 23 extending upward from the rear end of the lower cart unit 22. , 23, a holding part 24 that connects the upper ends of the columns 23, 23, and a basket mounting unit 25 provided at a predetermined height position on the columns 23, 23, and the basket mounting unit 25. The basket 19 can be mounted on each of the lower cart portions 22. In this embodiment, the basket 19 containing the product and the basket placement unit 25 on which the basket 19 is placed function as a product transport unit for transporting the product. In the case where the basket and the basket placing portion are an integrally formed shopping cart, the integrally formed portion may be used as a commodity transporting portion.

  As shown in FIG. 3, in the loading platform 1, the upper surface of the work plate 9 is set lower than the height position of the lower end of the basket placing portion 25 of the shopping cart 20, and the upper space portion 14 of the loading platform 1. Has a larger vertical width than the basket mounting portion 25 on which the basket 19 is mounted. Further, the lower space portion 18 of the loading platform 1 has a larger vertical width than the lower cart portion 22 of the shopping cart 20. That is, the shopper places the lower cart portion 22 of the shopping cart 20 in the lower space portion 18 of the loading platform 1 by pushing the shopping cart 20 into the loading platform 1, and creates the basket placement portion 25 of the shopping cart 20. It can be arranged in the upper space 14 of the loading platform 1. Further, when the shopping cart 20 is pushed into the loading table 1, the elastic body 11 fixed to the outer peripheral edge of the work plate 9 buffers the contact between the loading table 1 and the shopping cart 20, and the loading table 1 or Damage to the shopping cart 20 can be prevented.

  Thus, by pushing the shopping cart 20 into the loading platform 1, the lower cart portion 22 of the shopping cart 20 is arranged in the lower space portion 18 of the loading platform 1, and the basket placement portion 25 of the shopping cart 20 is placed on the loading platform 1. Since it can arrange | position to the upper space part 14, a shopper can not only carry out the bagging operation | work of the purchased goods, without taking down the basket 19 from the shopping cart 20, but also can carry out the basket 19 from the shopping cart 20 to a work board. Even when lowered onto 9, the basket mounting portion 25 approaches the work plate 9, so that the basket 19 can be easily lowered onto the work plate 9.

  Furthermore, since the shopping cart 20 is pushed into the loading table 1 during the bagging operation of the purchased product, it is possible to prevent the shopping cart 20 from closing the passage near the loading table 1, and the cashier counter. It is possible to secure a lead from the outlet to the outlet. In addition, since the basket 19 and the basket placement portion 25 overlap the work plate 9 in plan view, the distance between the work plate 9 and the basket 19 and the basket placement portion 25 is reduced, so that the bagging operation can be easily performed. In addition, a gap is not formed between the work plate 9, the basket 19, and the basket placement portion 25, and the product can be prevented from falling on the floor surface.

  As described above, the loading platform 1 has the work plate 9 supported by the brackets 10 and 10 in a cantilever manner with respect to the support column 2 extending upward from the base leg 6, and the lower space 18 is opened in the left-right direction. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the left and right wheels 21, 21 of the lower cart portion 22 of the shopping cart 20 can be disposed across the base leg 6 of the column 2. Therefore, the area occupied by the basket mounting portion 25 on the work plate 9 can be reduced, and the basket 19 does not occupy a large amount on the work plate 9, and a wider bagging work space can be secured on the work plate 9. In particular, when the shop is crowded, more shoppers can use the loading platform 1 at the same time.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the shopping cart 20 is pushed in from the left-right direction of the loading platform 1, and the front and rear wheels 21, 21 of the lower cart portion 22 of the shopping cart 20 are disposed across the base leg 6 of the column 2. May be. By pushing the shopping cart 20 from the left-right direction of the loading platform 1 in this way, the gripping portion 24 side of the shopping cart 20 faces a different direction from the user standing on the front side of the loading platform 1, so that the shopping cart 20 is a user. It is easy to carry out the bagging work without disturbing the bagging work.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6, even when the basket 19 is placed on the lower cart portion 22 of the shopping cart 20, the basket 19 is shifted to the gripping portion 24 side of the shopping cart 20 and the loading platform 1. By pushing the shopping cart 20 from the left-right direction, the basket 19 and the basket mounting part 25 which are goods conveyance parts, and the work plate 9 can be piled up and down. In this way, if the basket 19 and the basket mounting portion 25 that are the product transporting portions have portions that overlap with the work plate 9, the work plate 9, the basket 19, and the basket mounting portion 25 are close to each other. Since the gap is eliminated, the above-described effects can be exhibited.

  Further, since the basket 19 placed on the lower cart portion 22 can be accessed from the front and rear direction without pulling out the shopping cart 20 from the loading platform 1, the basket 19 placed on the lower cart portion 22 is moved downward. The goods in the basket 19 can be directly packed in a bag without being moved from the carriage unit 22 onto the work plate 9. In addition, after the basket 19 placed on the lower carriage unit 22 is moved to the work plate 9 or the basket placement unit 25, the product in the basket 19 may be packaged.

  The brackets 10 and 10, the short brackets 13 and 13, and the long brackets 26 and 26 have hooks 10a, 10a, ... and hooks 13a, 13a, ... and hooks 26a, 26a, ..., and a plurality of support columns 2 are provided. .., And the hook 10a, the hook 13a, and the hook 26a are locked in the appropriately selected locking holes 2a, so that the work plate 9, the mounting table 12, and the shelf It is possible to easily adjust the height of the plate 16 arbitrarily. That is, the height of the work plate 9 can be appropriately adjusted according to the height from the wheels 21, 21,... Of the shopping cart 20 to the lower end of the basket placing portion 25. Therefore, if the height adjustment of the work board 9, the mounting top board 12, and the shelf board 16 is performed, it can be applied to an existing shopping cart and is highly versatile. Moreover, if the work board 9, the mounting top board 12, and the shelf board 16 with which right-and-left width differs are prepared, the horizontal width of the loading platform itself can be set suitably.

  In addition, since the upper shelf 4 is provided and equipment such as a plastic bag holder 15 and a pamphlet case can be arranged on the mounting table 12, the entire upper surface of the work plate 9 can be used as a work space, and the purchased product can be packed in a bag. Work can be done comfortably.

  Further, since the work plate 9 has substantially the same left and right width as the separation width of the left and right support columns 2 and 2, the base leg 6 of the support column 2 is not disposed at the center in the left and right direction of the work plate 9. When the shopping cart 20 pushed into the loading platform 1 is moved left and right, the wheels 21, 21,... Of the shopping cart 20 and the base leg 6 of the support column 2 can be prevented from interfering with each other. The shopping cart 20 can be taken in and out smoothly.

  In addition, when the work plate 9 and the mounting top plate 12 are attached to the support columns 2 and 2, the front end 9 a of the work plate 9 protrudes forward from the front end 12 a of the mounting top plate 12. Therefore, the placing table 12 does not interfere with the bagging work for the purchased product. In addition, since it is difficult for a shadow to be generated on the upper surface of the work plate 9 by the mounting top plate 12, it is convenient for shoppers.

  Moreover, since the mounting top 12 is made of a thin metal plate, it can be provided at a low cost and not easily broken. Further, since the work plate 9 is made of wood, even if the shopper drops the product during the bagging operation, the impact sound that the product hits the work plate 9 can be suppressed.

  In addition, the lower shelf part 3 of the said Example is one of the options, and the part of the lower shelf part 3 can be changed and set suitably. For example, although not shown, a trash can or other equipment may be installed on the shelf board 16 instead of the stocker 17.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the mounting top plate 12, the shelf board 16, and the stocker 17 were demonstrated as a shelf member, for example, it was supported with respect to the bracket attached only to the support | pillar 2 of one side. However, the present invention is not limited to those provided over the short brackets 13 and 13 or the long brackets 26 and 26 attached to the support columns 2 and 2 on both sides, and can be designed in various modes.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7, a loading platform 1 ′ in which only the work plate 9 and the upper shelf 4 are provided may be applied without providing the lower shelf 3 described above. According to this, even when the basket 19 is placed on the lower cart portion 22 as in the shopping cart 20 on the near side of FIG. 7, the shopping cart 20 can be pushed into the loading platform 1 ′. become. For this reason, it is possible to use the shopping cart 20 with a small range over which the shopping cart 20 protrudes from the loading platform 1 ′ except when it is crowded.
