In an open showcase installed in a store, the price card, the advertising panel, or the like may be properly used depending on the products displayed in the store, and may not be used when unnecessary. By the way, in the state where price cards are not hung on the price rail 10, the price rail barely protrudes to the front of the product display room 3, which makes the appearance unpleasant.
These price rails act as obstacles to prevent goods from being put in and taken out from the goods display shelves 7 arranged at the top.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and it is a simple operation for the above-mentioned price rail laid along the front edge of the ceiling panel in the refrigerator when price cards are not used. It is an object of the present invention to provide an open showcase price rail mounting structure in which the price rail can be pulled up from the use position or retracted to the rear side of the front edge of the ceiling panel for storage.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the price rail mounting structure of the present invention is constructed as follows. (1) A foldable rail mount that is connected to the front edge of the ceiling panel via a hinge, a rail suspension that suspends and supports the price rail and is fixed to the rail mount, and a storage position for the price rail. The rail mounting base folded back is composed of a magnet that attracts and holds the front side of the front edge of the ceiling panel.

(2) A rail suspender for suspending and supporting the price rail, and two rails vertically arranged on the rear surface of the front edge of the ceiling panel so as to pull down the rail suspender and hold the rail suspender in the raised position. It is composed of a support part. (3) A rail suspender for suspending and supporting the price rail, a support portion formed at the front edge of the ceiling panel so as to lock and hold the rail suspender at the pulling down position, and the price rail itself is held at the pulling up position. As described above, the rail hook stopper is provided on the lower surface side of the support portion.

[0007]

In the above structure, the price rail is usually used by pulling it out from the front edge of the interior ceiling panel.
On the other hand, when the price cards are not used, the price rail is moved from the use position to the retracted storage position by the following operation.

That is, in the configuration of the above item (1), the rail mount is folded toward the rear side of the front edge of the ceiling panel with the hinge serving as a fulcrum. As a result, the price rail is reversed together with the rail mount and retracted behind the front edge portion of the ceiling panel, and at this storage position, the rail mount is attracted and held to the front edge back surface side of the ceiling panel by the magnet. Further, in the configurations of the above (2) and (3), the price rail is pulled up from the use position to lock the rail suspender to the upper support portion, or the rail itself is locked to the rail hook. By doing so, the price rail is held in the storage position.

As a result, the price rail does not obstruct the front view of the showcase at the storage position, and does not obstruct the loading and unloading of products to and from the in-compartment product display shelf.
