In the slide-side rail portion 13, an outer plate 131 and an inner plate 132 are joined to each other through an inner wheel (not shown) so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction. A small upright plate 118 is formed at the front inner end of the bottom plate 116 to rise upward from the inner end of the bottom plate 116 , and a locking projection 115 is formed at the tip of the small upright plate 118 .

The sliding shelf board main body 12 includes a plate-like display main body 121, locking plates 122 attached near both ends extending in the front-rear direction in a state of hanging down from the back surface of the display main body 121, and the display main body 121. It has a lock portion 14 attached to the back surface. The locking plate 122 is connected and fixed to the inner plate 132 of the slide-side rail portion 13 . As a result, the slide shelf plate portion 12 is slidable in the front-rear direction with respect to the fixed-side support portion 11 .

The lock part 14 is mounted between the pair of left and right slide side rail parts 13, 13 and on the rear surface side of the slide shelf body part so that the front part thereof can be freely rotated in the left and right direction. It is. In this example, the lock portion 14 is a plate-like body (lock plate) having a partially cut-out bent portion, and both ends thereof extend to the vicinity of the inner plates 132 of the slide-side rail portions 13 , 13 . That is, the locking plate 14 is supported at the rear end portion in the widthwise direction of the plate-like main body portion that is long in the lateral direction, and is supported at the front portion so as to be rotatable in the front-rear direction. Therefore, the front portion of the lock plate 14 hangs down due to gravity. In addition, two slit holes 16, 16 are formed in the rear portion of the lock plate 14 so as to extend in the left-right direction and pass through in the thickness direction. The insertion piece of the support frame on the fixed side is inserted into the slit hole 16, and the lock plate 14 is supported.

The lock structure has a lock plate 14 formed with a slit hole 16 and a fixing portion 15 having a support frame 15b for supporting the lock plate 14 . In this example, the fixing portions 15 are formed at two locations corresponding to the slit holes 16 on the back surface of the plate-shaped body portion 121 . As shown in FIG. 17, the fixed portion 15 includes a raised portion 15a having a U-shaped cross section in side view, and a lid-shaped support frame 15b that is fixed to the raised portion 15a and covers from below. The raised portion 15a is provided with a flange portion 154 that is fixed to the plate-like body portion 121 (the back surface of the slide shelf plate body portion). The support frame 15b is composed of a bottom plate 151 and an insertion piece 152 extending forward from the front end of the bottom plate at an upward slope. The bottom plate 151 is screwed to the bottom plate of the raised portion 15a. Further, the front-rear width dimension of the bottom plate 151 is larger than the width dimension of the bottom plate of the raised portion 15a. As a result, the rear piece 144 extending rearward from the slit hole 16 of the lock plate 14 is inserted between the insertion piece 152 of the support frame 15b, the raised portion 15a and the flange portion 154 (the back surface of the plate-like body portion 121). A gap of length l ₁ or more will be formed.

The slit width (vertical width dimension) of the slit hole 16 is larger than the thickness of the insertion piece 152 of the support frame 15b, and the slit hole length is slightly larger than the width dimension of the insertion piece 152 of the support frame 15b. The slit width dimension of the slit hole 16 and the thickness dimension of the insertion piece 152 may be a width dimension that allows the lock plate 14 to move beyond the locking projection 115 when unlocking. The lock is released from the posture, and the lock plate 14 is determined to be rotatable at a horizontal posture. Therefore, the lock plate 14 is rotatably supported within a certain range limited by the fixed portion 15 . Even if the rotation range of the lock plate 14 is narrow, it is sufficient to overcome the small height of the locking projection 115 . When locked, the front lower end 143 of the lock plate 14 hits the upper surface of the small standing plate 118 on the fixed side or hits the locking projection 115 to stop the slide shelf.

In the locked state, the insertion length (l ₁ ) of the rear piece 144 of the lock plate 14 is the length that is close to or in contact with the rear surface of the body portion 121 of the slide shelf plate, which is the flange portion 154 of the raised portion 15a in this example. It is. When the rear end of the lock plate 14 is in contact with the rear surface of the main body 121 of the slide shelf or the flange 154 of the raised portion 15a, the lock plate 14 is positioned at an internal angle with the main body 121 of the slide shelf (in FIG. , symbol α) is 17 to 25 degrees, and the insertion length l ₁ of the rear piece 144 that enters through the slit hole 16 is about 10 mm to 20 mm. Also, the dimension l2 from the upper end of the insertion piece 152 of the fixing portion 15 to the slit hole ₁₆ is smaller _than l1.

The commodity display shelf 20 includes a slide shelf board 10. - 特許庁That is, the brackets 112, 112 attached to the fixed-side rail portion of the slide shelf 10 are engaged with the engagement holes of the posts 21, 21 and fixed.
