When the regulation protrusion 51a enters the regulation hole 251 in this way, the guide protrusion 45 is in contact with the rear end edge of the second longitudinal guide part 432c of the guide hole 432, and the guide The member 40 assumes the first inclined position. By setting the guide member 40 in the first inclined position, the shelf board 10b can be brought into an inclined state in which the shelf board 10b is gradually inclined downward toward the front end.

By the way, when the guide member 40 is in the first inclined position, as shown in FIG. 16, the edge of the second front-rear guide part 432c on the front side of the guide protrusion 45 gradually moves downward as it goes forward. It is sloping. In other words, the guide member 40 assumes the first inclined posture in such a manner that the edge portion of the second front-rear guide portion 432c on the front side of the guide protrusion 45 gradually inclines downward as it goes forward. As a result, regardless of whether the regulation protrusion 51a enters the regulation hole 251, the guide protrusion 45 is prevented from moving relatively forward in the second front-rear guide part 432c, and the guide The member 40 can be maintained in the first inclined position.

When an input operation is further applied to the operation input member 50 into which the regulation protrusion 51a has entered the regulation hole 251 and the operation input part is displaced rearward, the guide protrusion 45 moves toward the guide hole 432. By slidingly contacting the edge of the second inclined guide portion 432d, the rear end portion of the guide member 40 rotates upward from the first inclined position about the guide support shaft 44. As the guide member 40 rotates in this manner, the shelf board 10b in the storage position is pressed by the guide member 40, and the rear end portion further rotates upward about the shelf support shaft 35.

As shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, the operation input member 50 that is displaced toward the rear is moved so that the stepped screws 55 are in contact with the rear end edges of the elongated holes 241a and 242a, and the mark portion 531 is at the rearmost position. When exposed through the viewing hole 292a, the guide protrusion 45 is in contact with the rear end edge of the third front-rear guide portion 432e of the guide hole 432, and the guide member 40 assumes the second inclined position. When the guide member 40 assumes the second inclined position, the shelf board 10b can be brought into an inclined state in which it is gradually inclined downward toward the front end.

By the way, when the guide member 40 is in the second inclined position, as shown in FIG. 19, the edge of the third front-rear guide part 432e on the front side of the guide protrusion 45 gradually moves downward as it goes forward. It is sloping. That is, the guide member 40 assumes the second inclined posture in such a manner that the edge portion of the third front-rear guide portion 432e on the front side of the guide protrusion 45 gradually inclines downward as it goes forward. Thereby, the guide protrusion 45 restricts the third front-rear guide portion 432e from moving relatively forward, and the guide member 40 can be maintained in the second inclined position.

On the other hand, when an input operation is applied to the operation input member 50 and the operation input member 50 is displaced forward, the guide protrusion 45 guides the guide hole 432 through the third front-rear guide part 432e, the second inclined guide part 432d, and the second front-rear guide. By relatively moving the part 432c, the first inclined guide part 432b, and the first front-rear guide part 432a in this order, the guide member 40 is moved from the second inclined position with its rear end pointing downward about the guide support shaft 44. It rotates and assumes a horizontal position. As a result, the shelf board, which was in an inclined state, becomes horizontal.

As explained above, according to the product placement shelf 10 and the showcase according to the embodiment of the present invention, the bracket member 20 is provided so as to be displaceable along the front-rear direction, and is disposed at the standby position in the standby state. On the other hand, the operation input member 50 is displaced away from the standby position when an input operation is applied, and the front end is supported by the bracket member 20 via the guide support shaft 44. 44, the rear end of which is rotatable up and down with respect to the bracket member 20, and when the guide member 40 and the operation input member 50 are placed in the standby position, When the operation input member 50 is displaced away from the standby position, the shelf board 10b is placed in a horizontal position and the shelf board 10b is placed in a horizontal position. Since the shelf board 10b is pressed to be in the inclined state, in order to change the shelf board 10b from the horizontal state to the inclined state, it is sufficient to apply an input operation to the operation input member 50 and cause the shelf board 10b to be displaced. Therefore, there is no need to first slide the shelf board forward as in the past, but instead of sliding the shelf board with the arm member inclined backwards, the arm member can be slid on the protrusion formed on the outside of the bracket member. There is no need to tilt the shelf board, and there is no need to consider frictional force between the arm member and the protrusion, wear of the protrusion, etc. Therefore, the operating force for tilting the shelf board 10b can be reduced, and the service life can be extended.

According to the product placement shelf 10 and the showcase, the regulation protrusion 51a enters the regulation hole 251 to hold the operation input member 50 in the displaced position, so products are placed on the shelf board 10b. This can prevent the shelf board 10b from returning to the horizontal state. Moreover, when the regulating protrusion 51a enters the regulating hole 251, the input operator can feel something like a click, and the input operator can move the shelf board 10b to the first inclined position without relying on visual inspection. can do.

According to the product shelf 10 and the showcase, the guide member 40 has an edge on the front side of the guide protrusion 45 in the front and rear guide parts (the second front and rear guide part 432c and the third front and rear guide part 432e). Since the guide protrusion 45 gradually tilts downward toward the front and assumes the tilted posture (the first tilted state and the second tilted state), the guide protrusion 45 moves the front and rear guide portions relatively toward the front. Since the guide member 40 is maintained in an inclined position by regulating the movement of the guide member 40, it is possible to prevent the shelf board 10b from returning to a horizontal state when a product is placed on the shelf board 10b.

Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited thereto, and various changes can be made.

In the embodiment described above, when the operation input member 50 is displaced rearward from the standby position, the guide member 40 takes an inclined posture and the shelf board 10b is made to be in an inclined state, but in the present invention, A configuration may be adopted in which, by displacing the operation input member toward the front from the standby position, the guide member assumes an inclined posture and causes the shelf board to be in an inclined state.

In the embodiment described above, the sheet 293 was pasted to the inner surface of the reinforcing side wall portion 292 of the second reinforcing member 29 to close the second viewing hole 292a from the front. Alternatively, the guide member 40 may be in the first inclined position by exposing the mark portion 531 from the viewing hole 292a. According to this, the guide member 40 can be visually placed in the first inclined position, and the shelf board 10b can be placed in the inclined state.

In the embodiment described above, the slider 60 interposed between the bracket member 20 and the auxiliary side wall member 30 was described as a support member, but the support member is not limited to the slider 60 in the present invention. Therefore, the shelf board does not need to slide in the front-back direction with respect to the bracket member.
