For example, there is a product display shelf for frozen and refrigerated cases described in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 106879/1988 (F25D11/00). In this display shelf, the tip of a reinforcing plate attached to the back of the shelf board is extended below the front wall of the shelf board to serve as a support part, and a mounting part extending rearward from the price rail is placed on this support part. Then, the rearward engaging stepped portion of the price rail is engaged with the tip of the support portion, a guard is inserted between the price rail and the front wall of the shelf board, and the guard is placed on the mounting portion. The lower front surface is configured to abut against a locking stepped portion formed on the mounting portion.

(C) Problems to be Solved by the Invention According to the above-mentioned conventional technology, the price rail and the guard can be installed along the front wall of the shelf board without using fasteners such as screws, but the upper end of the guard If an impact is applied from the front to the shelf, the upper corner of the front wall of the shelf will serve as a fulcrum and the lower part of the guard will rotate forward, causing the price rail to fall from its support and the guard to fall. In this case, since the price rail is placed on the support, there is a problem that it may fall from the support due to a slight vibration impact.

(d) Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a shelf board having a front wall and a flange extending rearward from the lower end of the front wall, and a shelf plate provided with a space in front of the front wall. a front wall portion for holding a display card that displays the product name, etc. of the product placed on the shelf board; a forward-facing fitting groove extending rearward from the front wall portion and fitting into the flange; a price rail having a rear wall section with a rear wall section; a guard for preventing products from falling, which is inserted into a space between the front walls and placed on the price rail; and a guard formed on the price rail. an elastic leg piece provided with an engaging piece that is engaged with the engaging part, a side plate part that covers both left and right side surfaces of the price rail as it is attached to both left and right ends of the price rail, and a side plate part that is interposed in the interval. To provide a shelf device consisting of a pair of left and right covers provided with spacer pieces.

(E) Effect According to the embodiment, when the guard 52 is not used, the spacing piece 60 formed on the cover 53 is interposed between the price rail 25, the front wall 26, and the front wall 14 of the shelf board 12. This acts to restrict the movement of the price rail 25 in the front and back direction as the price rail 25 moves. Therefore, when the guard 52 is used, the guard 52 can also prevent the price rail 25 from coming off the shelf board 12, and when the guard 52 is not used, the spacing piece 60 can also prevent the price rail 25 from coming off.
can be prevented from falling off from the shelf board 12.

(F) Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings. Reference numeral 1 shown in Fig. 8 is a front-open type low-temperature show case installed in stores such as supermarkets. The main body is composed of a heat insulating wall 2 having an opening 3 formed therein, and first and second partition plates 4, 5 are arranged at an appropriate distance from the inner surface of the heat insulating wall 2.
By arranging them in sequence, a first passage 7 for protective air circulation in which a blower fan 6 is arranged, a second passage 10 for cold air circulation in which a cooler 8 and a blower fan 9 are arranged, and the height and installation angle are created. A store room 13 is formed in which a pair of changeable left and right brackets 11 and shelf boards 12 supported by these brackets are arranged in multiple stages. By supplying reduced pressure liquid refrigerant to the opening 3, a cold air curtain (CA) is created by forcibly circulating a cold air flow and a protective air flow as shown by the arrow.
and an air curtain (GA) that protects this air curtain from the outside air and cools the inside of the storage chamber 13 to a predetermined temperature.

Generally, the lengths of the shelf boards 12 are 4 shaku and 3 shaku. If the length of the low-temperature case 1 is 8 shaku, then the shelf boards 12 of 4 shaku will form two rows on the left and right.

It also includes an elastic rear leg piece 57 having an engaging piece 58 that is engaged with the engaging portion 40 . The insertion piece 5
5 has a longer length than the leg pieces 56 and 57 because it acts as a positioning member when attaching the cover 53 to the price rail 25 and prevents the cover 53 from shaking in the vertical direction when attached. It is long and has a thin hinge part 59 formed at its tip, and a spacer piece 60 is formed which is bent rearward with the hinge part 59 as a boundary when the guard 52 is not used. Moreover, the engagement piece 58
The length of the leg piece 57 with the front leg piece is longer than that of the front leg piece 56 in order to obtain greater elasticity than the front leg piece 56 in order to engage the engaging piece 58 with the engaging part 40. There is. In addition, the leg pieces 56 and 57 prevent the lower part of the cover 53 from wobbling in the front-rear direction since they are in contact with the front wall 26, the continuous wall 27, and the rear wall 28 of the price rail 25 due to their elastic action. The cover 53 is detachably attached to the price rail 25, and in this attached state, the sixth
As shown in the figure, it protrudes laterally from the side surface of the shelf board 12 to avoid contact between adjacent shelf boards 12.
Further, the cover 53 is in contact with the price rail 25, but due to the slight gap between the end face and the price rail 25, the cover 53 is connected from the shelf board 12 through the front wall 12 to the continuous wall part 27 and the rear end part. Drips of the product dropped into the corner with 28 will naturally be discharged from the gap.

Therefore, according to such a configuration, the forward facing first,
By selecting both second fitting grooves 38 and 39 and fitting the backward-facing flange 15, the mounting angle of the price rail 25 to the shelf board 12 can be set in two ways, and the height of the shelf board 12 and the mounting angle can be set in two ways. The price rail can be attached to suit the angle, and the flange 15 can be attached to the first fitting groove 38 or the second fitting groove 3.
In any case where 9 is fitted, price rail 2
The forward movement of the price rail 25 is prevented by the front wall 14, and the rear movement of the price rail 25 is prevented by a guard 52 inserted between the front wall 14 and the front wall portion 26 and acting as a spacer. As a result, even if an impact is applied to the upper part of the guard 52 from the front, the price rail 25 and the guard 52 can be prevented from coming off, and a side plate part 54 is provided to prevent the guard 52 from moving in the left-right direction. By inserting the insertion piece 55 of the cover 53 into the receiving groove 37 and the leg piece 57 into the recess 30, it is possible to prevent the guard 52 and the cover 53 from moving in the front-rear direction, and also to prevent the insertion of the leg piece 57 into the recess 30. As the engaging piece 58 is automatically engaged with the engaging portion 40, the cover 53 can be prevented from moving in the lateral direction. Furthermore, when removing the cover 53, the cover 53 can be easily removed by pushing the engaging piece 58 forward and pulling the cover 53 laterally. Since the rail 25 is supported by the flange 15, the cover 53 can be attached and removed independently, making it easy to handle not only the cover 53 but also the price rail 25.

Furthermore, when the guard 52 is not used, the spacer piece 60 formed on the cover 53 is attached to the price rail 2.
5 and the front wall 14 of the shelf board 12.
The function is to restrict the movement in the front and back direction. Therefore, when the guard 52 is used, the guard 52 can also prevent the price rail 25 from separating from the shelf board 12, and when the guard 52 is not used, the spacing piece 60 can also prevent the price rail 25 from separating from the shelf board 1.
In any case, the advertising effect of the price rail 25 can be obtained, and the display effect as a shelf device is not impaired.

(g) Effects of the invention According to the present invention described above, the following effects occur.

By inserting and fitting the backward-facing flange into the forward-facing fitting groove, the forward movement of the price rail is blocked by the front wall, and the rearward movement of the price rail is prevented by the interference between the front wall and the front wall. This is prevented by the guard inserted between them and acting as a spacer, and as a result, even if an impact is applied from the front to the upper part of the guard, the price rail and the guard can be prevented from coming off.

When the guard is not used, the spacing piece formed on the cover is interposed in the gap between the front wall of the price rail and the front wall of the shelf board, which acts to restrict the movement of the price rail in the front and back direction. Therefore, when a guard is used, the guard can prevent the price rail from coming off the shelf board, and when a guard is not used, the spacing piece can also prevent the price rail from coming off the shelf board. In either case, the advertising effect of the price rail can be obtained without impairing the display effect of the shelf device.

The cover can be easily removed, and since the price rail is supported by the flange when the cover is removed, the cover can be installed and removed independently, making it easy to handle not only the cover but also the price rail. It can be carried out.
