The price plate 51 is formed of a metal such as aluminum or a synthetic resin. A translucent shade 55 made of milk-white synthetic resin is disposed below and below the price plate 51 so as to be elongated over the left and right similarly to the price plate 51. An opening 57 is formed so as to overlap with the opening 52 and correspond to the opening 53. The price plate 51, the mounting part 52, the shade 55 and the mounting part 56 constitute a shelf front member. The lower end of the shade 55 is bent to form a substantially horizontal portion 58. The lower end of the shade 55 is at substantially the same height as the lower end of the holder 45.

Then, the screw holes 32 of the shelf board 31, the openings 53 of the mounting portions 52 of the price plate 51, and the openings 57 of the mounting portions 56 of the shade 55 are aligned and screwed with screws 59. An elongated shelf guard 60 is fitted between the price plate 51 and the front surface of the shelf plate 31.

The mounting portion 52 of the price plate 51 and the mounting portion 56 of the shade 55 are overlapped and used in substantially the same size, and their front ends are located at substantially the same position. And
The price plate 51 rises from the front end of the mounting portion 52, and the shade 55 hangs from the front end of the mounting portion 56. Therefore, the front surface of the price plate 51 and the front surface of the shade 55 are arranged substantially continuously, so that the price of the product is displayed on the price plate 51, and the lower shade 55 displays the product name and commercial related to the product. Can be displayed by printing, a sticker, or the like. In addition, shade 5
5 is milky white and allows the light of the fluorescent lamp 19 to pass through, so that the display of the above-mentioned trade name, commercial, and the like can be conspicuous by the light.

As a result, even if the display of the products placed on the product display shelf T is disturbed and the number of the price plate 51 becomes unknown as to which product the price is, it is arranged below the price plate 51. By looking at the display of the shade 55 that is present, it is possible to easily confirm which product price it is. Furthermore, even when advertising individual products, they can be displayed in the immediate vicinity of the product, and the advertising effect is great.

When the merchandise is stored in the merchandise display shelf, the holder 45 holding the fluorescent lamp 19 cannot be seen. Therefore, conventionally, the product to be stored is applied to the lower end of the rear holding piece 45b projecting to the lowermost side in the holder 45, and the holding piece 45b is bent or folded. However, since the holder 45 is protected by the shade 55, the holding piece 45b can be prevented from being damaged. In particular, the lower end of the shade 55 is
It is preferable that the height is substantially the same as the lower end of the.

Next, a second embodiment of the merchandise display shelf T will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 5 is a sectional view of a second embodiment of the product display shelf. FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of a main part of FIG.
In the description of the second embodiment, the same reference numerals are used for the same components as those in the first embodiment, and the description is omitted.

In the second embodiment, the front end of the shelf board 61 is formed with a flange 62 which is a rising reinforcing portion. An opening 63 is formed in the front of the shelf board 61 after being pressed in a circular shape. Further, at the tip of a sheet metal support member 42 having a substantially V-shaped cross section fixed by spot welding to the lower surface of the shelf plate 61, a hanging portion and a horizontal portion are continuously formed so as to be separated from the lower surface of the shelf plate 61. A holding portion 65 is provided. The holding portion 65 is provided to be elongated in the left and right directions, and has a screw hole 66. Then, the mounting portion 52 of the price plate 51 and the mounting portion 56 of the shade 55 are overlapped with each other so that the opening 53 (see FIG. 6) and the opening 57 coincide with each other.
And the holding portion 65. Then, the screws 67 are screwed in from above the shelf board 61, and the mounting portions 52 and 56 are sandwiched between the shelf board 61 and the sandwiching section 65.

The opening 63 of the shelf board 61 is formed after being pushed, so that the head of the screw 67 which is a flat screw is
Can be prevented from protruding from the surface. Further, since the width of the price card is generally around 30 mm, the height of the price plate 51 is about 36 mm. Also, the height of the shelf guard for preventing the product from falling from the product mounting surface is 30 mm.
Therefore, the price plate 51 can have a function as a shelf guard. Therefore, in the second embodiment, the price plate 51 also serves as a shelf guard, and the shelf guard 60 of the first embodiment can be omitted.

Further, since the mounting portions 52 and 56 are sandwiched between the shelf plate 61 and the holding portion 65, the mounting strength is increased as compared with the case where the screws 59 are simply screwed as in the first embodiment. . In particular, since the holding portion 65 is formed integrally with the support member 42 and is fixed to the shelf board 61, the holding portion 6
5 rarely falls. The support member 42
Is fixed to the shelf board 61, the holding portion 65 is also

The front surface of the shade 55 of the second embodiment is formed substantially vertically, while the front surface of the shade 71 of the third embodiment is substantially vertical at the upper part, but is bent from the middle, and the lower part is at the back. It is inclined. By bending the shade 71 from the middle in this way, if the vertical portion used for displaying the shade 71 is considered to be too large, it can be changed to an appropriate size.

Next, a fourth embodiment of the merchandise display shelf T will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 8 is a sectional view of a fourth embodiment of a product display shelf. FIG. 9 is a plan view of a main part of a fourth embodiment of the product display shelf. In the description of the fourth embodiment, the same reference numerals are used for the same components as those in the above-described embodiment, and the description is omitted.

In the above-described embodiment, the price plate 51 and the shade 55 are separate bodies. In the fourth embodiment, however, the price plate 51 and the shade 55 are integrated to form the shelf front member 7.
6 are formed. The shelf front member 76 is integrally extruded from a milky white translucent synthetic resin. Therefore, the mounting portion 77 of the shelf front member 76 is also translucent.
A light-shielding shelf plate 78 formed by sheet metal processing of a metal plate.
Has substantially the same shape as the shelf board 61 of the second embodiment, but has a large number of circular holes 79 formed in a line at the front end thereof. The mounting portion 7 is formed by the circular hole 79 as the opening.
7 is provided with a light transmitting portion which is a portion where the shelf plates 78 do not overlap. Reference numeral 80 denotes a socket for supplying electricity to the fluorescent lamp 19.

The light of the fluorescent lamp 19 disposed below the shelf plate 78 passes through the light-transmitting mounting portion 77 and the large number of circular holes 79 and is scattered when passing through the mounting portion 77, and is scattered. The front of the product displayed on the front end of the plate 78 is illuminated. By the way, with the fluorescent lamp 19 arranged above the product, the upper surface of the product placed at the front end of the shelf 78 can be irradiated, but the front surface cannot be irradiated. However, as in the fourth embodiment, the mounting portion 77 is made translucent, and a circular hole 79 is formed at the front end of the shelf plate 78, so that the front surface of the product is illuminated from below to light up. Can increase the display effect of the product. Further, the shelf plate 78 itself has a light shielding property, and the support member 42, the bracket 18 and the reinforcing plate 3 below the shelf plate 78 are provided.
4 is not visible, so it's not hard to see. Further, the material having translucency is extremely limited, such as glass.
Since it is light-shielding, it is easy to process and can select the most suitable material for the shelf, such as metal, wood, synthetic resin, etc.

Next, a fifth embodiment of the product display shelf T is shown in FIG.
This will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a sectional view of a fifth embodiment of the product display shelf. FIG. 11 is an enlarged view of a main part of FIG. In the description of the fifth embodiment, the same components as those of the above-described fourth embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted.

The shelf front member 76 of the fourth embodiment described above was entirely milky white. However, in the shelf front member 81 of the fifth embodiment, the price plate 82 and the shade 83 are milky white, but the mounting portion 84 is colorless and transparent. The shelf front member 81 is integrally formed by double extrusion. Also, the shelf 86 differs from the shelf 61 of the second embodiment in that the flange 62 is not provided, and there is an elongated gap 88 between the front end of the shelf 86 and the price plate 82. A light-transmitting portion is provided, which is a portion where the shelf plates 86 do not overlap. By providing this gap 88, the fourth
As in the case of the circular hole 79 in the embodiment, the front side of the product can be illuminated by irradiating the front surface of the product from below, thereby increasing the display effect of the product.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications may be made within the scope of the present invention described in the appended claims. It is possible to make changes. Modified embodiments of the present invention will be exemplified below. (1) The mounting portion of the shelf front member may be divided into upper and lower members, or may be formed as a single member.

(2) In the embodiment, the price plate and the shade are arranged substantially vertically, but may be inclined. (3) In the embodiment, the shade or the like is milky white, but the color can be changed as appropriate as long as it has translucency.

[0041]

According to the present invention, since the light-transmitting shade is continuously arranged on the price plate, the display related to the display of the price plate can be performed on the shade. Also,
The display of the shade can be emphasized by the irradiation light of the light source. The light source used for displaying the shade can also illuminate products displayed below the product display shelf.

Further, since the mounting portion of the shelf front member is sandwiched between the holding portion of the support member and the shelf, the shelf front member can be firmly fixed to the shelf. Moreover, since the holding portion is formed on the support member that supports the light source, the holding portion can be attached to the shelf at the same time by attaching the support member to the lower surface of the shelf.

Since the light-transmitting portion is provided with a light-transmitting portion on which the light-shielding shelf plate does not overlap, the light from the light source disposed at the lower portion of the product display shelf is transmitted to the light-transmitting mounting portion. The front of the product displayed on the product display shelf can be illuminated from below by illuminating the front of the product displayed on the product display shelf through the translucent portion, and the display effect of the product is increased. Since the shelves have a light-shielding property, unlike a light-transmitting material such as glass, it is easy to process and can select the most suitable material for the shelves, such as a strong metal, wood, or synthetic resin. Further, since the support members, brackets, reinforcing plates, and the like below the shelf are not visible, they are not unsightly.
