[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a shelf lighting device for a product display shelf that can effectively produce products on a shelf plate of a product display shelf.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In the product display shelf, when displaying products such as cosmetics on each shelf arranged side by side in the vertical direction, attach a lamp to the bottom of each shelf and illuminate the product on the shelf below, It has been conventionally performed to effectively produce products on the board and to increase the customer's willingness to purchase.
[0003]
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-238774 has an illumination lamp for illuminating the lower part at the front part of the lower surface of a wooden shelf, and a slit is provided in a portion directly above the illumination lamp in the shelf, and a prism is provided in the slit. Are arranged so as to illuminate the product on the shelf from below by deflecting the light irradiated upward from the illumination lamp backward on the shelf.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the former illuminating device, the product is illuminated only by the upper illuminating lamp, and thus a great effect cannot be obtained.
The latter lighting device enhances the effect of the product compared to the former device, but it is suitable for wooden shelves with large plate pressure, but for thin shelves made of steel with thin plate thickness, There is a problem that the support becomes unstable and is difficult to apply.

[0013]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, a commodity display shelf (1) including the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the following description, the lower left side of FIG. 1 is “front” and the lower right side is “rear”.
[0014]
The product display shelf (1) has a large number of shelves (3), (4) and (5) arranged in the vertical direction on the front of the main body (2), and the leftmost shelf (3) The other shelves (4) and (5) are made of glass.
[0015]
The steel shelf (3) at the left end is for displaying products (A) such as cosmetics, and the rear end is locked to the column of the product display shelf (1) or the back plate (6). In addition, it is constructed on a bracket (7) that faces a pair of left and right sides.
[0016]
As apparent from FIGS. 2 and 3, the leftmost shelf plate (3) is formed by bending its four sides downward so that the upper surface (5a) is a horizontal plane and bending the steel plate on the lower surface. The reinforcing material (8) is fixed by welding.
[0017]
A slit (9) facing in the left-right direction, which is slightly shorter than the left-right width of the shelf board (3), is formed in the front end of each shelf board (3) arranged vertically.
A prism (11) as a deflecting means is attached to the slit (9).
[0018]
As shown in FIG. 4, the prism (11) is made of a transparent prismatic horizontally long glass rod having a substantially square cross section with a corner (11a) facing directly upward, and two other opposing two prisms. The corners (11a) are positioned forward and backward, and the portions immediately below these corners (11a) are cut out in an isosceles right triangle shape to form a recessed step portion (10). The distance between the front and rear recessed steps (10) and (10) is made equal to the width of the slit (9) in the front-rear direction.
Further, the lower portion of the prism (11) is cut out horizontally to form a lower surface (12).
[0019]
As shown in FIG. 3, at least one of the left and right side ends of the prism (11) is provided with an outwardly projecting portion (13) at the lower portion thereof.
When the prism (11) has a protrusion (13) at one side end, the total length of the prism (11) excluding the protrusion (13) is made equal to the width in the left-right direction of the slit (9), When the prism (11) has protrusions (13) on both side edges, the total length of the prism (11) excluding one protrusion (13) is equal to the width in the left-right direction of the slit (9). To do.
[0020]
The prism (11) having the protruding portion (13) on one side end of the prism (11) has the protruding portion (13) obliquely downward, and is inserted below the side end of the slit (9) while inserting the recessed stepped portions on the front and rear portions. By fitting (11a) to the front and rear edges of the slit (9), it is mounted on the upper surface (5a) of the shelf board (3) as shown in FIG.
[0021]
In the prism (11) having the protrusions (13) on both side ends, the prism (11) is mounted on the upper surface (5a) of the shelf (3) in the same manner, and then the prism (11) is mounted on the other side. Move it slightly to the end side. Then, the protrusions (13) on both sides are hooked and locked on both edges of the slit (9).
[0022]
It is preferable that a light reducing material (14) is applied or adhered to the front surface (11b) at the upper part of the prism (11) as necessary.
[0023]
As shown in FIG. 2, an illuminating lamp (15) such as a straight tube type fluorescent lamp is located below the front portion of the shelf (3) at a position directly below the slit (9). It is held by a holder (16) attached to the back surface of 3).
[0024]
When the illumination lamp (15) is turned on, the illumination lamp (15) attached to the upper shelf board (3) illuminates the product (A) on the lower shelf board (5) and the lower shelf board. The light emitted upward from the illumination lamp (15) of (3) is emitted forwardly upward and backwardly upward from the inclined front surface (11b) and rear surface (11c) in the upper half of the prism (11). The light from the front surface (11b) is weakened by the light reducing material (14), so that the customer does not feel dazzling. The backward-facing light from the rear surface (11c) illuminates the product (A) on the shelf board (3) from the front lower side, so that the product effect is greatly improved.
[0025]
In the modified example of the prism (11) shown in FIG. 5, the upper half has an isosceles right-angled triangular cross-sectional shape, but the lower half has a rectangular cross-sectional shape. Fitting grooves (17) and (17) extending in the horizontal direction so as to be fitted to (9) are formed.
In this case, the slit (9) has a shape in which one side end penetrates to the side end of the shelf plate (3), and the prism (11) has its fitting groove (17) formed in the shelf plate (3). It is attached by fitting the slit (9) from the side.
[0026]
In the modification of the prism (11) shown in FIG. 6, the lower surface (12) is not flat, but has a non-planar shape such as a wave shape. By setting it as such a shape, the light which goes upwards can be irregularly reflected.
[0027]
The cross-sectional shape of the upper part of the prism (11) can be a semicircle, a quarter circle, or the like.
[0028]
【The invention's effect】
According to the first aspect of the present invention, the deflecting means can be correctly and reliably attached to the slit of the shelf, and the product below can be illuminated by the illumination lamp attached to the front part of the lower surface of the shelf. The display effect can be enhanced. The product display effect can be enhanced.
In addition, even if the shelf plate is made of a thin steel plate, the prism support is stabilized by fitting the concave stepped portion of the prism into the shallow slit formed in the shelf plate, The prism will not rattle or be displaced.
[0029]
According to the invention described in claim 2, it is possible to form a strong and thin shelf board made of steel plate.
[0030]
According to the third aspect of the present invention, the deflection effect by the deflection means is enhanced, and the vertical dimension of the prism as the deflection means is limited so that the illuminating lamp can be sufficiently accommodated in the vertical width of the shelf board. Can do.
[0031]
According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the prism can be securely attached to the slit so that the prism is not detached upward, and the vertical dimension of the prism can be shortened.
[0032]
According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, the upward light from the prism can be diffusely reflected to enhance the effect of lighting.
[0033]
According to invention of Claim 6, the light which goes to the front upper direction of a shelf board can be reduced, and it can avoid giving glare to a customer's eyes.
[0034]
According to the seventh aspect of the present invention, it is possible to reliably prevent the end of the deflecting means from coming off from the slit by the projecting portion, and to ensure that the deflecting means is attached to the shelf plate. Can do.
