Abstract

PURPOSE:To maintain a high display effect without deteriorating the storing effect of a display case and to take out goods without inserting a hand to an interior part by arranging many rollers in the display case with their shaft centers placed vertically, inclining slightly forward and downward, providing a driving motor and displaying and storing the goods on the rollers. CONSTITUTION:Goods 7 are supported by rollers 82, prevented from falling down sideways by a partition plate 85 and displayed and stored all over the upper face of a shelf device 1. When the front goods 7 are taken out by a customer, a driving motor 84 is operated, the many rollers 82 are simultaneously rotated through gears 83. Even when the rollers 82 are slightly inclined, the back goods slide forward until they abuts on the front plate of a shelf frame 81 to fill a space after the goods are taken out. In such a way, since the goods 7 are pushed forward to fill the front side of the upper face of the shelf device, an extremely high display effect is obtained and a customer does not insert the hand to an interior part. Since the shelf device is inclined only by a slight angle, it is not required to especially increase the intervals of the shelves but a storing effect is maintained.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a shelf device that can enhance the display effect and storage efficiency of products displayed and stored in the display chamber of a showcase.

[Conventional technology]

There is a showcase shown in Figure 3 that allows customers to view and take out products freely. The showcase 1 shown in FIG. 3 is equipped with a display chamber 4 formed by a heat insulating wall inside a main case 3 having a door 2 at the front opening, and is designed to cool and keep the display chamber 4 cold by circulating cooling air. , a cooler 51, a compressor 52, a condenser 53, a fan 54, and the like. The inside of the display room 4 is partitioned into several upper and lower stages by shelves 6 to improve product storage efficiency and display effects.

The shelf 6 is generally a flat shelf plate, supported with a slight downward inclination, and has a stopper 6a rising from the front end. Product 7 is lI! The products are displayed side by side on the I6, and the products on the front side, which are easier to take out, are taken out first by the customer's hands.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

By the way, in the conventional shelf 6, the front part where the product 7 was taken out remains empty, which not only reduces the display effect, but also causes the next customer to move his/her hand toward the back of the shelf 6 when trying to take out the product 7. There was a drawback that had to be addressed. As a solution, it is possible to greatly tilt the shelf 6 so that as the product 7 in the front is taken out, the product in the back slides forward under its own weight. In order to make it easier to see, it is necessary to increase the interval between the transoms, which is not preferable because the accommodation efficiency decreases.

Therefore, this invention enables products to be displayed so as to always maintain a high display effect without reducing the storage efficiency of the display room.
It is also an object of the present invention to provide a shelf device for a showcase from which products can be taken out from the front part of the shelf.

[Means to solve the problem]

In this invention, a large number of rollers are arranged in parallel with their axes in the front and back direction in a display room, are tilted slightly forward and downward, and are further rotated by a drive motor as necessary, and the rollers are mounted on the rollers. The products are displayed and stored in the store.

[Effect]

According to the above means, the products are displayed on a large number of rollers that are slightly inclined with their axes in the front-rear direction, and the rollers are rotated, so that the products slide out on the rollers. It becomes like this.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 show an embodiment of this invention.
Components common or identical to those in FIG. 3 are designated by the same reference numerals.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, 8 is a shelf device corresponding to the conventional shelf 6, and 81 has a large number of bearings lined up horizontally in the front and back, and is formed into a rectangular frame shape and tilts slightly downward in the front. A shelf frame 82 supported by the main body case of the showcase is rotatably supported by the front and rear bearings of the shelf frame 81, and a large number of rollers 83 are arranged in parallel at appropriate intervals so that adjacent ones mesh with each other. Gears fitted to the rear ends of the rollers 82, 84 a drive motor connected to the rear end of a particular roller 82, 85 removably supported by the shelf frame 81, and set to the required height. These are a plurality of partition plates that partition the space above the rollers 82 into left and right spaces at appropriate intervals.

In the above-described configuration, the products 7 are supported by the rollers 82 and prevented from falling sideways by the partition plates 85, and are displayed and stored over the entire upper surface of the shelf device 1. As the product 7 in front is taken out by the customer, the drive motor 84 is operated, and a large number of rollers 82 are rotated simultaneously as shown by the arrows via the gear 83. Due to this rotation of the rollers 82, although the rollers 82 are only slightly inclined, the products at the rear slide forward until they come into contact with the front plate of the shelf frame 81.
Fill the space after the removed product.

In this way, the products 7 are pushed forward and fill the front side of the top surface of the shelf device, so that an extremely high display effect can be obtained, and customers will not have to put their hands into the back. Also, shelf device 1
Since the shelves are only inclined at a slight angle, there is no need to make the shelf spacing particularly large (accommodation efficiency similar to that of conventional products is maintained).

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to this invention, a large number of rollers are arranged in parallel in a display room with their axes in the front-back direction, are tilted slightly forward and downward, and are further provided so as to be rotated via a drive motor as necessary. Since the products are displayed and stored at the top, it maintains a high display effect without reducing the storage efficiency of the display room, and allows customers to take out products without having to reach into the back. It is possible to provide a shelf device in which the items are displayed and stored.
