Therefore, the store manager can access the finger hook 22 without turning over the POS rail 16.

Next, the operation of the article advance device 11 of this embodiment will be explained. In this embodiment, a case will be described in which the shelf 12 (display shelf) is, for example, a frozen case.
As shown in FIGS. 15 and 17, when an article 25 is purchased by a customer at a store and the article 25 disappears from the shelf 12, the remaining article 25 remains behind the shelf 12.

In particular, as shown in FIG. 15, when the shelf 12 is a refrigerated case, pillars or parts of the housing often protrude as obstacles 41 at both ends of the shelf 12 in the width direction W. In FIG. 15, the article advancing device 11 located at the leftmost end has the puller 14 disposed close to one end in the width direction W. Similarly, in the article advance device 11 located at the rightmost end, the puller 14 is arranged closer to the other end in the width direction W. By arranging it in this way, it is possible to arrange the pull-out tool 14 at a position where it does not interfere with the obstacle 41. On the other hand, the two article advance devices 11 located at the center have the puller 14 disposed at the center in the width direction W.

In this state, when the store manager wants to replenish the goods 25, as shown in FIGS. 16 and 18, he hooks his fingers on the finger hooks 22 of the four drawer tools 14 and moves the drawer tools 14 forward from the first position P1. By pulling it to the second position P2 of F, the article 25 can be brought forward. At this time, the article 25 placed on the second portion 21B of the rod portion 21 of the puller 14 can smoothly ride onto the rib 33 via the inclined portion 33A of the rib 33.

Furthermore, in the actual shelf 12 (display shelf), a POS rail 16 with the price of the article 25 attached thereto is often attached to the anti-fall portion 15 as shown in FIG. Even in this case, as shown in FIG. 2, the finger hook 22 is disposed below the lower end of the POS rail 16 at the third position P3 and on the front side F than the lower end of the POS rail 16. The store manager can access the finger rest part 22 without turning over the cover 16.

When the store manager moves the drawer 14 from the first position P1 to the second position P2, the flap portion 16A of the POS rail 16 is pushed upward by the stepped portion 24, as shown in FIG. The POS rail 16 moves from the third position P3 to the fourth position P4. Therefore, even when the POS rail 16 is installed, there is no problem in operating the drawer 14, and no burden is placed on the store manager's replenishment operations.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 19, by returning the puller 14 from the second position P2 to the first position P1, where the stepped portion 24 is in contact with the front end surface 12A of the shelf 12, the articles 25 that have been brought forward can be removed. You can create space at the back. This rear space can be replenished with new articles 25. This makes it possible to manage the inventory of articles 25 so that customers are asked to pick up articles 25 that are close to their expiration dates.

According to this embodiment, the following can be said. The article forwarding device 11 includes a rod portion 21 extending in the front-rear direction FR, a finger hook portion 22 provided on the front side F of the rod portion 21 on which a finger can be hung, and a finger hook portion 22 provided on the rear side R of the rod portion 21 for holding an article 25.

In particular, when the shelf 12 is a frozen case, the depth of the shelf 12 varies depending on the manufacturer and specifications. According to the above configuration, the length of the base 13 in the front-rear direction can be made smaller than the shelf 12, and the cost of raw materials used for the base 13 can be reduced. Further, the depth length of the shelf 12 varies depending on the manufacturer, specifications, etc., but with the above configuration, there is no need to change the length of the base 13 for each depth length of the shelf 12, and the article can be placed in front of the shelf. The manufacturing cost of the device 11 can be reduced. On the other hand, as for the drawer 14, it is sufficient to prepare a plurality of lengths of the drawer 14 for each manufacturer or for each depth length of the shelf 12. Furthermore, when the drawer 14 is in the first position P1, the second portion 21B protruding rearward from the base 13 is formed wider in the width direction than the first portion 21A. The loaded article 25 is stabilized, and the danger of the article 25 falling from the puller 14 can be prevented.

The length of the upright portion 23 in the width direction W is greater than the length of the first portion 21A in the width direction W.

According to this configuration, the upright portion 23 that can come into contact with the back surface of the article 25 can be made wider than the first portion 21A of the rod portion 21. This prevents the article 25 from falling from the puller 14 and allows the article 25 to be stably brought forward.
