[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a shelf used for displaying goods in a store such as a supermarket.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, on shelves for displaying products in supermarkets, convenience stores, and the like, a display card is detachably attached to a front edge portion so that the displayed product name and price can be checked at a glance. 2. Description of the Related Art A shelf board having an attached structure is known. As such a shelf board T,
As shown in FIG. 5, a shelf board body T1 for placing articles
A display card mounting portion T3 for holding a display card is fixed to a front wall T2 by welding. Normal,
This type of shelf board T is made of sheet metal, and has a display card attaching section T.
3 is formed by bending a strip-shaped sheet metal toward the shelf board body T1 slightly concavely, and upper and lower edges T3a and T3b thereof are opposed to each other so as to easily hold the display card. It is bent as follows.

[0003] Further, as a shelf plate in another form, there is a right-angle shelf in which a front edge and a rear edge having a rectangular cross section are integrally formed on the front and rear edges of a flat portion constituting an article mounting surface. To the R-shelf with the front edge of its front edge bulging in a semicircular cross-section, or to the front edge of a boat-bottom cross-section There is also known a type called a ship bottom shelf.

[0004]

Heretofore, the above-mentioned various forms of shelves have been independently designed and manufactured. For this reason, equipment for manufacturing various kinds of shelf boards by a press device or a roll forming device is required separately, which is unavoidable.

[0005] As a measure to solve such a problem,
For example, the shelf main body T1 of the shelf T of FIG. 5 described above is set as a standard product, and the front wall T2 of the shelf main body T1 is
It is conceivable to form a right-angle shelf, an R shelf, a boat bottom shelf, or the like by appropriately fixing a front edge member having a shape different from that of the display card attachment portion T3.

However, the depth dimension of the shelf board needs to be set to a certain value in actuality in consideration of usability and various standards. Therefore, the display card mounting portion T3 is omitted, and the shelf main body T1 is used as a right-angle shelf, or a front edge member in various forms is fixed to the front wall of the shelf main body T1 by spot welding to fix the right-angle shelf, R When shelves, boat bottom shelves, etc. are manufactured, it becomes difficult to keep the depth dimensions of various shelves within a certain standard. Therefore, implementation becomes impossible in practice.

Further, in order to fix the front edge member to the front wall of the shelf board body by spot welding, it is necessary to hold the front wall and the wall of the front edge member together by an arm having an electrode at the tip. is there. Therefore, for example, when the horizontal piece extends rearward from the lower edge of the front wall, or when the front edge member is in a pipe shape, an arm having a long and complicated shape is required. Even if such an arm is used, it may not be possible to clamp the walls to be joined with the electrodes. For this reason, a certain limitation is imposed on the shape of the front portion and the shape of the front edge member of the shelf board main body, and there is a disadvantage that the degree of freedom in design is reduced.

An object of the present invention is to solve such a problem.

[0009]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention takes the following measures. That is, the shelf according to the present invention includes a sheet metal shelf main body and a sheet metal front edge member that constitute most of the article mounting surface, and forms the article mounting surface of the shelf main body.

In addition, in order to improve the safety, the display card attaching portion is configured such that the material is continuously bent so that an upper edge holding portion bent downward and a lower edge holding portion bent upward are formed as one sheet. It is desirable that they are formed integrally from a sheet metal material.

Further, in order to strengthen the mounting state of the front guard, the leading edge of the display card mounting portion is extended rearward, and an auxiliary engaging hole corresponding to the engaging hole is formed in the extending portion. Are preferred.

[0012]

With such a structure, by preparing one kind of shelf board main body and a plurality of kinds of leading edge members, the shape of the leading edge portion is different, but the outer dimensions of the shelf board are reduced. It becomes possible to form the same various shelves.
That is, the same main body is used for various leading edge members, and the leading edge member is made different in the size of the trailing edge flat portion due to the difference in the leading edge shape, and the flat plate portion of the shelf main body is used. And the trailing edge flat portion of the leading edge member are joined by welding. In this way, by joining the respective flat plate portions, the difference in the dimensions of the leading edge member can be absorbed, and as a result, a shelf plate having the same dimensions can be formed. In addition, since welding is also performed on the flat plate portion, it is easy to press the shelf plate body and the front edge member, and the welding device has a simple configuration, thereby improving work efficiency. In addition, the common use of the shelf body eliminates the need to install production equipment corresponding to the type of shelf, thereby simplifying the equipment and consequently reducing manufacturing costs. Become.

The shelf board 1 includes a wire separator 2 which is a separator for dividing the article mounting surface into a plurality of regions,
A front guard 3 for preventing an article on the article mounting surface from dropping from the front edge can be attached.

The main body 10 of this embodiment has a flat plate portion 10a which constitutes most of the article mounting surface of the main board 1. Thus, in this embodiment,
The leading edge member 20 is also formed with a slight article mounting surface 20f, but in the case where the article mounting surface is formed only on the shelf main body 10, in other words, the entirety is formed on the shelf main body 10. It may be. Specifically, the shelf main body 10 is made of a steel sheet metal, and the rear end 10 c is bent to the thickness of the shelf 1, and the front end 10 b is formed near the rear end of the front edge member 20. A front bent piece 10d having a dimension of about 1/2 of the depth of the U-shaped groove 20u is formed so as to be inserted into the U-shaped groove 20u. The shelf main body 10 forms an article mounting surface by the flat plate portion 10a, and is formed in a flat plate shape as a whole. Then, the left and right ends of the rear end portion 10c are notched S in order to avoid interference with the columns of the shelf.
Is provided. Further, a channel-shaped member 10e for reinforcement is fixed to a position closer to the front end and the rear end than the center in the depth direction of the back surface of the shelf body 10, and the channel-shaped member 10e on the rear end side and the rear end portion are fixed. 10c,
A rear mounting portion 10g having a rear engagement hole 10f for holding the rear portion 2a of the wire separator 2 is provided. The rear engagement hole 10f is provided with a front engagement hole 20 described later.
As in a, two rows are formed in the width direction.

The front edge member 20 includes a separator mounting portion 20b having a front engagement hole 20a for holding the front portion 2b of the wire separator 2, and a separator mounting portion 20b.
A guard mounting portion 20c formed to be continuous with the front edge of the front panel 3 and holding the front guard 3 made of, for example, a transparent acrylic resin flat plate, and a display card mounting portion continuously provided to the front edge of the guard mounting portion 20c. 20d is integrally formed. The front edge member 20 is made of a steel sheet metal, like the shelf main body 10, and is formed into a desired bent shape by, for example, roll forming. That is, the front edge member 20 is located near the rear end thereof.
It has a U-shaped groove 20u having a width that accommodates the front bent piece 10d of zero and that can move in the front-rear direction. This U
The trailing edge flat plate portion 20e on the rear side of the U-shaped groove 20u is
u is lower by the thickness of the sheet metal material than the front edge of the u.
The upper surface of “a” is flush with the upper surface of the leading edge member 20 which is the article mounting surface 20f . A front engagement hole 20a for holding the wire separator 2 is formed in two rows at a predetermined pitch in the width direction so as not to overlap on the same line in the depth direction on a plane at a portion on the front side of the U-shaped groove 20u. ing.

Further, the front edge of the separator mounting portion 20b, which is a plane portion formed with the front engagement hole 20a, has a substantially U-shaped width substantially equal to the thickness of the front guard 3.
A guard mounting portion 20c formed of a letter-shaped groove is provided. The upper edge holding portion 20g is formed by bending the sheet metal material continuously from the front edge of the guard attachment portion 20c, and the upper edge holding portion 20g is continuously curved rearward, that is, in the direction of the guard attachment portion 20c. A display card attachment portion 20d is formed in which a portion 20h is formed, and a lower edge holding portion 20k which is located forward of the upper edge holding portion 20g and is bent upward is formed continuously with the lower edge of the curved portion 20h. Then, the sheet metal material bent rearward of the lower edge holding portion 20k is once closely contacted with the back surface of the curved portion 20h and extended upward, and then extends substantially horizontally rearward to a position substantially below the U-shaped groove 20u. To form an extension 20j, and the extension 20j
An auxiliary engagement hole 20m is formed at a position corresponding to the front engagement hole 20a of the separator mounting portion 20b, that is, at a position immediately below the front engagement hole 20a. The rear edge 20n of the extension 20j is also formed by bending the sheet metal material upward so that the cut end surface of the material is not exposed, and then bending the distal end portion downward.

In the above configuration, one shelf 1 is formed by joining the front edge member 20 to the front end 10b of the shelf main body 10. In this case, the front edge member 20 is formed by welding the front end bent piece 10d of the shelf main body 10 into the U-shaped groove 20u, and then welding the rear edge flat plate portion 20e to the back surface near the front end bent piece 10d. Is fixed by spot welding. In fixing, the position of the front bent piece 10d of the shelf board body 10 in the U-shaped groove 20u is adjusted, and the shelf board body 10 is fixed.
Is adjusted to remove the depth dimensional error of the shelf 1. In use, as shown in FIG. 3, the front guard member 20c of the front edge member 20 has a front guard 3c.
The front portion 2b of the wire separator 2 formed of, for example, a wire having a diameter of about 3 mm is inserted into the front engagement hole 20a of the separator mounting portion 20b. The front part 2b is provided with an auxiliary engagement hole 20m of the extension part 20j.
To the front engagement hole 20 which is vertically separated.
a and the auxiliary engagement hole 20m, the movement can be reliably regulated. The rear portion 2a of the wire separator 2 is engaged with the rear engagement hole 10f of the shelf body 10.

As described above, since the leading edge member 20 joins the trailing edge flat plate portion 20e extending rearward in the horizontal direction to the flat plate portion 10a of the shelf main body 10, electrodes for spot welding are prepared from above and below. And therefore, the welding operation is facilitated, and the productivity can be increased. Further, in the display card attaching portion 20d of the front edge member 20, since the sheet metal material is bent to form the upper edge holding portion 20g and the lower edge holding portion 20k, the cut end surface of the material is exposed. There is no place where it is in contact, and there is no damage even if the body or articles come into contact. In other words, when installing the shelf 1, replacing a display card, or taking or placing a product on the shelf 1, even if the user accidentally touches the lower edge holding portion 20 k, for example, an injury may occur. And safety can be improved.

Further, as the leading edge member, a plurality of leading edge members having different shapes of the leading edge portion are prepared in accordance with the size and type of the shelf, so that the shelf boards 10 having the same dimensions and different leading edge shapes are prepared. It can be formed. In this case, it is necessary that the front edge members having different front edge shapes have the same length, that is, the depth dimension from the rear end to the front end of the rear edge flat plate portion.

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the leading edge members having different leading edge shapes include, for example, a corner leading edge member A20 for a right-angle shelf AS, an arc leading edge member R20 for an R shelf RS, and This is a boat bottom leading edge member B20 for the boat bottom shelf BS, and although the shapes of the front edge portions are different from each other, the depth dimension is set so that when joined to the shelf board main body 10, the shelf boards have the same dimensions. ing. That is, each leading edge member A2
0, R20, and B20 are trailing edge flat plate portions A2 to be joined portions.
0e, R20e, B20e, and the same depth, so that the leading edge portions A20q, R20q, B
In the middle portions A20p, R20p, and B20p existing between 20q and the trailing edge plate portions A20e, R20e, and B20e, differences in depth dimensions due to differences in the shapes of the front edge portions A20q, R20q, and B20q are absorbed. That is,
In order to form the leading edge portion, for example, the leading edge member may adopt a pipe-like structure like the corner leading edge member A20,
Alternatively, even if a complicated bent structure such as the front edge member 20 is adopted, if the depth dimension of the front edge portion is different from the other, the size is adjusted at the intermediate portion leading to the flat plate portion of the rear edge, and the whole is adjusted. It may be manufactured so as to have the same size as the other, that is, the unified standard size. Therefore,
The structure of the leading edge portion is changed from a simple folded structure such as the corner leading edge member A20 to a complicated folded structure such as the leading edge member 20 having the display card mounting portion 20d. It is possible to freely form even an electrode which is more complicated than the edge member 20 and is bent so that no welding electrode can be arranged. Then, the intermediate portions A20p, R20p, B20p having different dimensions for the dimension adjustment.
Is flush with the flat plate portion 10a of the shelf main body 10, and forms an article mounting surface.

As described above, one standard-sized shelf board body 1
When the leading edge members having different leading edge shapes are joined to 0,
Different types of shelves of the same size can be made only for the type of leading edge member. In other words, it is possible to easily manufacture shelves having the same external dimensions as the shelves but different shapes of the shelves, particularly the shapes of the front edges thereof. In this case, since the shelf body 10 is commonly used, even if there are a plurality of types of shelf boards, the number of parts does not increase in inventory management. In addition, since the shelf main body 10 is shared, it is not necessary to provide a production line for each type of shelf, so that the production facilities can be reduced accordingly. Therefore, the manufacturing costs are
It can be reduced by simplifying the welding work and reducing the production equipment. Furthermore, since the joining between the shelf board body 10 and each of the leading edge members 20, A20, R20, and B20 is performed on a horizontally located flat plate portion, a special welding device electrode shape and electrode arrangement at the time of welding are required. , And the degree of freedom is increased by the reduction of the restrictions in designing the respective leading edge members 20, A20, R20, and B20. In other words, even if the front edge portion of the front edge member is complicatedly bent to form a pipe, for example, to increase strength, even if the electrode of the welding device cannot be easily arranged at a predetermined position, Since welding for joining is always performed on a horizontal flat plate portion, design can be made with priority given to design and strength.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above. For example, as for the bent shape of the front edge member 20 having the display card attaching portion, various shapes other than those described in the above-described embodiment can be considered, but at least the cut cross section of the sheet metal material is exposed at the display card attaching portion 20d. Any shape can be used as long as it is bent so as not to be bent and has sufficient rigidity to hold the wire separator 2 and the front guard 3. As with the wire separator 2, the front guard 3 is formed by forming a large-diameter wire into a rectangular ring having a length substantially equal to the width of the shelf 1 and fixing the legs to the ring. It may be.

In addition, the configuration of each section is not limited to the illustrated example, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0025]

As described in detail above, the present invention has a structure in which a shelf main body having an article mounting surface and a front edge member are joined by welding at respective flat plate portions. It can be easily joined regardless of the shape.
Therefore, the shape of the leading edge member can be determined with priority given to the design or the like without corresponding to the workability of the welding work, and the degree of freedom in design can be increased. In addition, by preparing a plurality of different front edge members, it is possible to easily produce various shapes having a certain depth dimension by sharing the same shelf main body. In other words, since the shelf main body that constitutes most of the article mounting surface is standardized and commonly used, a large-scale manufacturing facility for each shelf is not required, and thus the manufacturing facility can be reduced, and as a result, Manufacturing costs can be reduced.
