Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] (a) Industrial application field This invention relates to product display shelves such as show cases.
In particular, the present invention relates to a structure in which a guard for preventing products from falling is removably supported at the front end of the shelf by means of a shelf front decoration.

(b) Conventional technology A product display shelf with a guard provided at the front end to prevent products from falling off the shelf is, for example, the Utility Model Act of 1983.
11589. In this configuration, a protruding wall 3 is formed at the front end of the shelf board 1 by further bending the lower end of the front wall 2 which has been bent downward. On the other hand, the shelf front decoration 4 has a projecting wall 10 that holds the guard 5 between it and the front wall 2.
A raised portion 9 is formed which covers the lower surface of the protruding wall 3 and is engaged with the back surface of the front wall 2. A side wall 16 is fixed to the shelf front decoration 4 from below with screws 21 so as to cover both ends of the shelf front decoration 4.

In this structure, the side wall 16 includes the shelf front decoration 4 and the guard 5.
is attached to the front end of shelf board 1, then screw 2
1 is fixed to the protruding wall 3 together with the bottom wall 8.

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention In the conventional structure described above, the side wall 16 is attached as needed, and if the side wall 16 is not provided and the guard 5 is removed for cleaning, the shelf front decoration 4 will be attached to the shelf. Fall from board 1. Further, when the side wall 16 is fixed with the screws 21, if the force of clamping the guard 5 between the projecting wall 10 and the front wall 3 is strong, it will be extremely difficult to insert the guard 5 after pulling it out, and if this clamping is loosened, the guard 5 This causes wobbling in the support. In addition, the assembly work is troublesome since it is structurally secured with screws.

In view of these points, the present invention prevents the shelf front decoration from falling from the shelf board even if the guard is removed, and also eliminates the need for screws to attach the side wall to the shelf front decoration. This is accomplished by using the side walls to simplify installation and provide a structure that does not increase the number of parts.

(d) Measures to solve the problem A support part for supporting the guard is provided on the side wall, and it extends from this support part and detachably engages with a locking hole formed in the front wall provided at the front end of the shelf board. A locking portion is provided on the side wall, and the side wall is inserted into and engaged with the shelf front decoration.

(E) Function: With the side walls inserted and engaged with both ends of the shelf front decoration, the locking portions of the side walls are locked into the locking holes in the front wall of the shelf board, so that the shelf front decoration is held on the shelf board. If the guard is inserted between the shelf front decoration and the front wall of the shelf board in this state, the guard will be held between the two and the lower end of the guard will be supported by the side wall.

(f) Examples Examples of the present invention will be explained based on the respective figures. Reference numeral 1 denotes an open show case in which product display shelves 2 are supported on a back wall in multiple stages. Reference numeral 3 denotes a shelf board for placing products on the shelf 2, and a front wall 4 bent downward at a substantially right angle is formed at the front end. The front wall 4 has an engagement side 5 whose lower end is bent slightly rearward, and the front wall 4 has locking holes 6, 7 vertically bored near the left and right ends. The locking holes 6 and 7 are horizontally long, and the upper locking hole 6 has a relatively wide notch in the upper and lower directions. Reference numeral 8 denotes a shelf front decoration, which is a long piece made of light metal such as aluminum or plastic material by extrusion molding, pultrusion molding, etc., and has a length approximately equal to the horizontal dimension of the shelf board 3. The shelf front decoration 8 has grooves 9 and 10 extending over the entire length at the upper and lower parts thereof, and locking parts 11 and 12 for locking the upper and lower ends of price cards, product name display boards, etc. are formed on the front surface. ing. 13 is a side wall attached to both ends of the shelf front decoration 8;
It is made of plastic and has integrally formed insertion parts 14 and 15 that are inserted almost tightly into the grooves 9 and 10 so as to be attached to the left and right ends of the main body. The insertion portion 15 is shaped to wrap around the wall 16 forming the groove 10 to ensure sufficient engagement with the shelf front decoration 8. The side wall 13 further includes a support portion 18 on which the lower end of the guard 17 is placed, an upper locking portion 19 that locks on the edge of the upper locking hole 6, and a lower locking portion that is inserted into the lower locking hole 7. 20 are integrally formed. The side wall 13 has a base portion 21 forming a lower locking portion 20 for stabilizing the combination with the shelf board 3, and abuts along the front surface of the engaging side 5.

In this configuration, when installing the guard 17, the side wall 13 is held in a state covering both ends of the shelf front decoration 8 by inserting the insertion parts 14 and 15 of the side wall 13 into the grooves 9 and 10 of the shelf front decoration 8. be done. After inserting the upper locking part 19 into the locking hole 6 in this state,
By inserting the lower locking part 20 into the locking hole 7 while moving it downward, the hook part of the upper locking part 19 locks with the lower edge of the locking hole 6, and the lower locking part 20 locks into the locking hole. 7, and the base 21 abuts the engagement side 5. As a result, a predetermined gap is created between the upper back surface of the shelf front decoration 8 and the front wall 4 of the shelf board 3, and a plate-shaped transparent guard 17 can be inserted into this gap and held at the lower end of the guard 17. is placed on the support part 18. Ease of insertion and removal of guard 17 and guard 1
In order to achieve the securing of clamping as shown in FIG. 7, it is sufficient to provide the side wall 13 with a slight restoring force.

By bringing the front wall 4 and the upper back surface of the shelf front decoration 8 into close contact with the front and rear surfaces of the guard 17 as in the embodiment, dirt and liquid from products will not get in between them and cause them to get dirty. .

In addition, part of the product load applied to the shelf front decoration 8, the guard 17, and the guard is absorbed by the locking holes 6, 7 and the engaging portion 19.
20 to maintain a stronger engagement.

(g) Effects of the invention In the present invention, the shelf front decoration and the side wall are connected without screws, so the combination is easy, and the work of attaching the shelf front decoration to the front end of the shelf board is also extremely easy. In addition, even if the guard is removed, the shelf front decoration will not fall, and the work of inserting and removing the guard can be done stably. Furthermore, since the lower end of the guard is supported by the side wall, material costs can be saved compared to the case where it is supported by a shelf front decoration or a shelf board. Furthermore, if the side walls are made of synthetic resin with some resilience, the guard will be held more stably.
It also makes it easier to insert the guard. In addition, since the load on the guard caused by the product maintains a stronger engagement between the side wall and the shelf board, the front decoration of the shelf will not fall off.
