In particular, simply preparing one type of angle 16 and changing its mounting state between a lying state and a standing state,
The erection form of the left and right shelf boards 11 and 12 can be selected to be flush or uneven.

Next, the second and third aspects of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the drawings, components having the same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 1 to 5 are the same. Also, the applied case is the same. In this case, a pair of front and rear engaging members 22 are attached to the lower surfaces of the left and right shelf boards 11 and 12, respectively. The engagement member 22 is open to the left and right ends and downward.

In the present invention, when the shelves 11 and 12 are used at the same height and flush with each other, two horizontal angles 23 having a rectangular cross section as shown in FIG. 6 are used. The horizontal angle 23 is inserted into and engaged with the engaging member 22 between the left and right shelves 11 and 12 to thereby make the two shelves 1 as shown in FIG.
1, 12 are connected flush. FIG. 7 shows a sectional view thereof.

Next, when the shelf boards 11 and 12 are used at different levels, a pair of step angles 24 as shown in FIG. 8 is used. The step angle 24 includes upper and lower angle members 25 and 26 and a fixing pin 27 having a substantially L shape. The upper and lower angle members 25 and 26 insert and engage a connecting portion 26A that rises from one end of the lower angle member 26 into a connecting portion 25A that descends from one end of the upper angle member 25, and a plurality of upper and lower holes are formed in the connecting portion 26A.

You. This state is shown in FIG. 8, and FIG. 9 is a sectional view thereof.

The degree of the step difference between the left and right shelf boards 11 and 12 can be changed by pulling out the fixing pin 27 and changing the step adjusting hole 28 that matches the hole 29. The upper and lower angle members 25 and 26 are connected by the engaging member 22.
May be performed before insertion into the device, or after insertion. Further, it goes without saying that the mounting heights of the two brackets 7, 7 are different from those described above.

Next, a fourth aspect of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the drawings, components having the same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 1 to 5 are the same. Also, the applied case is the same. In this case, a pair of receiving members 30, 30 and 31, 31 extending in the front-rear direction are respectively provided on the back surfaces of the left and right shelf boards 11, 12. Further, a plurality of engaging holes 32 to 43 are formed in each of the receiving members 30, 31 as shown in FIG. Each of the engaging holes 32 to 43 has a square shape. In particular, the engaging holes 32 and 37 at the front and rear ends of the receiving member 30 and the engaging holes 40 and 41 near the center of the receiving member 31 are mutually connected at an angle of about 30 degrees. The other engagement holes 33 to 36 and 38, 3
9, 42 and 43 have no slope.

Two angles 44, 45 are inserted and engaged between the left and right shelf plates 11, 12 in the engagement holes 32-43 of the receiving members 30, 31. The angles 44 and 45 have the same shape, have a square cross section that can be inserted into the engagement holes 32 to 43, and have a crank shape as a whole.

Next, when the left and right shelves 11 and 12 are used at the maximum step, the angles 44 are inserted into the engagement holes 33 and 39, and the angles 45 are inserted into the engagement holes as shown in the uppermost part of FIG. 36 and 44 are engaged. As a result, the angles 44 and 45 stand upright at right angles to the left and right shelves 11 and 12, and the level difference between the left and right shelves 11 and 12 becomes the maximum 2P.

When the left and right shelves 11 and 12 are used at an intermediate step, the angle 44 is inserted into the engagement holes 32 and 40, and the angle 45 is inserted into the engagement holes 37 and 41 as shown in the middle part of FIG. To engage. As a result, each of the angles 44 and 45 is inclined at an angle of about 30 degrees with respect to the right and left shelves 11 and 12 so that the step between the left and right shelves 11 and 12 becomes P which is half of the maximum step.

When the left and right shelves 11 and 12 are used flush with each other, the angle 44 is inserted into the engagement holes 34 and 38, and the angle 45 is inserted into the engagement holes 35 and 43, as shown at the bottom of FIG.
To engage. As a result, the angles 44 and 45 lie parallel to the left and right shelves 11 and 12, so that the level difference between the left and right shelves 11 and 12 becomes zero.

It is needless to say that, when the bracket 7 is used at each step, the position of the bracket 7 must be changed accordingly.

[0032]

According to the present invention, the left and right shelves can be installed at different levels without mounting an intermediate support. Therefore, there is no need to change the design of the case, which enhances mass productivity and does not impair the appearance from the front.

Further, since the left and right shelves can be selected to be flush or stepped, products having different heights can be displayed side by side.

In particular, by changing the degree of the step so that the height can be adjusted, it is possible to accurately cope with various product display modes.
