Technical Field

The present invention relates to a display case, and more particularly, to an improvement of a display case which is installed in a shop such as a convenience store and has a commodity rack for placing commodities in the interior of a case main body.

Background

Conventionally, for example, in shops such as convenience stores, display cases in which sales commodities are stored in a cabinet main body in a state of being placed on commodity racks have been widely used. The commodity shelf is configured such that the shelf plate is supported between the pair of right and left bracket members by the slider.

In the above-described showcase, there is also provided a showcase in which the front end portion of the shelf plate is disposed to be inclined so as to be lowered, for the purpose of making the commodities to be sold more easily visible, or for the purpose of sliding the commodities to be sold placed behind forward when the commodities placed in front of the commodity-placing shelf are taken out.

That is, in the above-described showcase, the inclined support member formed in a wedge shape is disposed so as to be movable up and down with respect to the holder member. The shelf plate is formed in a substantially horizontal state along the holder member in a state where the inclined support member does not protrude. On the other hand, when the inclined support member protrudes upward beyond the bracket member, the shelf plate is inclined along the inclined support member and supported by the bracket member with its front end edge lowered (see, for example, patent document 1).

In the conventional showcase, the commodity shelf is configured to include a holder member and a shelf plate. The bracket member is a pair of left and right members that are formed with locking holes at a predetermined interval in the vertical direction with respect to the rear surface side of the storage chamber of the cabinet body, and that support the bracket member by inserting its locking piece into the predetermined locking hole. The bracket member has a slide rail attached to an inner surface thereof, and an upper portion bent inward to form a bent piece portion above the slide rail.

The shelf plate is formed in a rectangular flat plate shape whose upper surface constitutes a placement surface on which commodities are placed. The shelf plate as described above is mounted on the slide rails mounted on the respective bracket members, and is thereby spanned between the slide rails. The shelf plate is slidable in the front-rear direction with respect to the holder member (see, for example, patent document 2).

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and a first object of the present invention is to provide a showcase in which the manufacturing cost can be reduced and the storage volume of the products for sale can be increased.

Further, as a second object, there is provided a showcase capable of increasing a storage volume of a commodity for sale.

In order to achieve the above object, a display case according to the present invention is a display case including a commodity-placing shelf in which a holder member having an opening in a front surface thereof is disposed forward inside a case main body, and a shelf plate attached to the holder member via a slider is slidable in a front-rear direction through the opening, wherein the holder member is formed such that an upper end surface thereof is gradually inclined upward as it goes rearward, and the shelf plate is disposed such that a rear end portion thereof is supported by a component element of the slider via a shelf support shaft, and the shelf plate is vertically swingable about the shelf support shaft so as to be placed on the upper end surface of the holder member when the shelf member is slid rearward, and is in an inclined posture.

In the display case, when the shelf board is slid forward, a rear end portion of the shelf board is placed on a front upper end surface of the bracket member, and the shelf board is formed in a substantially horizontal posture.

In the display case, the shelf plate may include a slide member disposed at a lower portion of a rear end portion so as to be in contact with an upper end surface of the holder member, and a surface of the slide member may be made of a smooth resin.

In the display case, the stopper is formed in a rod shape having a longitudinal direction in a horizontal direction, and is disposed on the shelf plate so as to be movable in a vertical direction, and the stopper holds the shelf plate in a state of sliding rearward when entering a recess provided in the bracket member, and allows the shelf plate to slide forward when departing from the recess.

In the display case, the stopper may include an operation region that is operated by an operator between the support members, and a non-operation region that is continuous with at least one of both ends of the operation region, and the shelf plate may include a non-operation facing region that is vertically moved above the stopper by the stopper so as to face the non-operation region so as to be closer to and farther from the non-operation region, and may include a protruding portion that is provided to protrude toward the other in one of the non-operation region and the non-operation facing region, and that comes into contact with the other when the stopper is disengaged from the recess.

In addition, the display cabinet of the present invention has a commodity carrying rack, and the commodity carrying rack includes: a pair of right and left bracket members disposed in a spaced manner in front of the cabinet main body having an opening in a front surface thereof, and having rear end portions connected to each other by a reinforcing member; and a shelf plate mounted to the inside of the bracket members by a slider so as to be suspended between the bracket members and slidable in the front-rear direction through the opening, wherein the bracket member has a reinforcing attachment portion provided on an upper portion of a rear end portion of the bracket member so that a front end portion thereof protrudes toward the other bracket member than the slider, and the front end portion thereof is fastened to the reinforcing member by a fastening member.

In the display case, the reinforcing member is formed by integrally molding a reinforcing base portion, a reinforcing rear end lower portion, and a reinforcing front end lower portion, both right and left end portions of the reinforcing base portion are fastened to the reinforcing attachment portion by the fastening members, the reinforcing rear end lower portion extends downward from a rear end portion of the reinforcing base portion, an extending end portion of the reinforcing rear end lower portion is bent forward, and the reinforcing front end lower portion extends downward from a front end portion of the reinforcing base portion.

In the display case, the reinforcing attachment portion may be fastened to the reinforcing member by the fastening member at a plurality of positions in the front end portion in the front-rear direction.

Effects of the invention

According to the present invention, since the holder member is formed so that the upper end surface is inclined upward gradually toward the rear, and the frame plate is arranged so that the front end portion is supported by the component of the slider via the frame support shaft, the rear end portion can swing up and down with respect to the component about the frame support shaft, and is placed on the upper end surface of the holder member to form an inclined posture when slid to the rear, it is not necessary to provide the holder member with an inclined support member for supporting the frame plate in the inclined posture as in the conventional case, and the number of components can be reduced. Further, since the inclined support members having a certain lateral width can be eliminated, the effective volume between the bracket members for placing the commodity can be increased. Therefore, the effects of reducing the manufacturing cost and increasing the storage volume of the sales commodity can be achieved.

Further, according to the present invention, since the reinforcing attachment portion of the upper portion of the rear end portion of the bracket member is provided so that the front end portion protrudes toward the other bracket member than the slider, and is fastened to the reinforcing member by the fastening member at the front end portion, it is not necessary to consider interference between the fastening member and the slider, and the clearance between the upper portion of the bracket member and the slider can be minimized as required. Thus, the vertical dimension of the bracket members can be reduced, and the vertical dimension of the commodity shelf including shelf plates erected between the bracket members can be reduced. Therefore, the effect of increasing the storage volume of the sales commodity can be achieved.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the showcase of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

< embodiment one >

Fig. 1 is a cross-sectional side view showing a display case according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The display case exemplified here is a device that stores sales items in the interior of the case main body 1 in shops such as convenience stores. In the first embodiment, a display cabinet for refrigeration is exemplified in particular for storing goods to be refrigerated.

That is, in the present showcase, the back panel 2 is provided inside the cabinet main body 1, and the ventilation duct 3 is formed between the back panel 2 and the rear wall 1a of the cabinet main body 1, and the storage chamber 4 is formed further forward than the back panel 2. Inside the ventilation duct 3, an evaporator 5 and a blower fan 6 are disposed. The evaporator 5 constitutes a refrigeration cycle together with a not-shown condensation unit, and exchanges heat with air passing therethrough. In the above-described showcase, when the not-shown condensing unit and the air blowing fan 6 are driven, the air passing through the evaporator 5 is circulated and supplied to the storage chamber 4 through the ventilation duct 3, and the storage chamber 4 is maintained at a desired refrigerating temperature.

The cabinet body 1 is formed in a box shape having an opening (hereinafter, also referred to as a front opening) 1b on a front surface, and has a plurality of commodity racks 10 in a storage chamber 4. Since the commodity racks 10 in the respective layers of the storage chamber 4 have the same configuration, one commodity rack 10 will be described below.

Fig. 2 to 5 show one commodity rack 10 shown in fig. 1, fig. 2 and 3 are perspective views, fig. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view, and fig. 5 is an exploded perspective view. As shown in fig. 2 to 5, the commodity shelf 10 includes a holder member 20 and a shelf plate 30.

The bracket member 20 is disposed to protrude forward from the bracket support 7 attached to the front surfaces of the left and right sides of the back panel 2. That is, the holder member 20 is a pair of right and left members disposed in the cabinet main body 1, i.e., the storage chamber 4, so as to be spaced apart from each other. Hereinafter, for convenience, the direction in which the two bracket members 20 approach each other will be referred to as an inner side, and the direction in which they separate from each other will be referred to as an outer side.

The bracket member 20 is formed of sheet metal or the like, and is configured by integrally molding a side wall portion 21 and an upper wall portion 22.

The side wall portion 21 is a main component of the holder member 20, and is an elongated portion whose longitudinal direction is the front-rear direction. The side wall portion 21 is formed such that the vertical dimension of the rear end portion is larger than the vertical dimension of the region on the front side of the rear end portion, and a plurality of locking pieces 21a projecting rearward are formed at the rear end portion of the rear end portion. The locking piece 21a can be inserted into an arbitrary locking hole, not shown, provided on the front surface of the rack post 7. When the locking piece 21a is inserted into the locking hole, the rear end portion of the side wall portion 21 abuts against the front surface of the rack post 7, and the bracket member 20 can be supported at an arbitrary height of the rack post 7 in a substantially horizontal cantilever manner.

An outer component 41 to which a slider 40 is attached is provided on the inner side of the side wall 21. The slider 40 is a conventionally known member, and allows the inner component 42 constituting the slider 40 to slide horizontally and in the front-rear direction with respect to the outer component 41.

The reinforcing plate 25 is fastened to the rear end of the side wall 21 by fastening members N1 such as screws. The reinforcing plate 25 is a member formed of, for example, sheet metal, and connects the pair of left and right bracket members 20 to each other, thereby restricting deformation and the like of the bracket members 20.

The upper wall portion 22 is an extension portion extending inward from an upper end edge portion of the side wall portion 21. The upper end portion is formed such that an upper end surface 22a, which is an upper surface thereof, gradually inclines upward as it goes rearward, and an inclination angle of the upper end surface 22a with respect to a horizontal plane is, for example, 3 ° to 5 °.

The shelf plate 30 is a portion on which commodities to be sold are placed, and is configured by supporting a carriage plate 32 inside a rectangular-shaped shelf frame 31. The mounting plate 32 is a transparent rectangular plate-like body such as a glass plate.

The frame 31 is a member in which a front frame portion 311, a rear frame portion 312, and a pair of left and right side frame portions 313 each formed of sheet metal are combined into a peripheral frame. As shown in fig. 6, the side frame portion 313 of the frame 31 is provided with a support piece portion 314 and a slide portion (slide member) 315.

The support piece portion 314 is a substantially rectangular plate-like portion formed to protrude downward at the front end portion of the side frame portion 313. A shelf support through hole 314a is formed in the central portion of the support piece 314.

The surface of the sliding portion 315 is made of a smooth resin, and is attached to the lower surface of the rear end portion of the side frame portion 313. The sliding portion 315 is configured by integrally forming a sliding base portion 315a and a sliding guide portion 315b, the sliding base portion 315a has a lateral width slightly larger than the upper end surface 22a of the upper end portion of the holder member 20, and the sliding guide portion 315b extends downward from both lateral end portions of the sliding base portion 315 a.

The shelf plate 30 as described above is disposed so that the rear end portion thereof can swing up and down with respect to the inner component 42 about the frame support shaft 316, by being passed through the frame support through hole 314a from the frame support shaft 316 and being attached to the front end portion of the inner component 42 of the slider 40.

The shelf 30 as described above is mounted inside the holder member 20 via the slider 40, and the slide base 315a of the slide portion 315 is placed on the upper end surface 22a of the holder member 20, is laid between the holder members 20, and is slidable in the front-rear direction through the front-surface opening 1b between the storage state of being slid to the rearmost as shown in fig. 2 and 3 and the complementary state of being slid to the frontmost as shown in fig. 7 and 8.

In the shelf plate 30, a front end upper extending portion 311a extending upward at the front end portion is formed in the front frame portion 311 of the shelf frame 31, and a side end upper extending portion 313a extending upward at the end portion is formed in the side frame portion 313 of the shelf frame 31. Further, a gap S1 is formed between both end portions of the leading end upward extending portion 311a and the leading end portion of the side end upward extending portion 313 a.

Further, a stopper 43 made of, for example, resin or the like is provided on the inner component 42 of the slider 40 which is present between the holder member 20 and the chassis 30. The stopper shaft 43a protruding inward penetrates the stopper support hole 42a formed in the inner component 42 from the outside to the inside, and the stopper 43 is provided to the inner component 42 so as to be vertically swingable about the stopper shaft 43 a. When the shelf plate 30 is in the stored state, as shown in fig. 9, the stopper 43 abuts against a stopper projection 43b provided to project outward and restricts the inward component 42 from sliding forward relative to the outward component 41 by a stopper projection 41a provided to the outward component 41 of the slider 40. On the other hand, the stopper 43 swings upward or downward about the stopper shaft 43a, and when the locking projection 43b is separated from the rear region of the stopper projection 41a, the inner component 42 is allowed to slide forward with respect to the outer component 41.

In the showcase having the above-described configuration, the shelf 30 is disposed such that the front end portion is supported by the inner component 42 of the slider 40 via the shelf support shaft 316, the rear end portion is vertically swingable about the shelf support shaft 316, and the slide portion 315 attached to the rear end portion is placed on the upper end surface 22a of the support member 20. Further, the upper end surface 22a of the holder member 20 is formed so as to be gradually inclined upward toward the rear, and when the shelf board 30 is in the stored state, as shown in fig. 10, the upper end surface 22a of the holder member 20 is brought into an inclined posture. At this time, the forward sliding of the chassis 30 is restricted by the engagement projection 43b of the stopper 43 coming into contact with the restriction projection 41 a.

Then, the stopper 43 is swung up and down, and the shelf plate 30 can be slid forward. At this time, the sliding portion 315 slides on the upper end surface 22a of the holder member 20. As shown in fig. 11, when the shelf 30 is in the complementary state, the sliding portion 315 is placed on the front end portion of the upper end surface 22a of the holder member 20, and assumes a substantially horizontal posture.

As described above, according to the showcase of the first embodiment of the present invention, the holder member 20 is formed such that the upper end surface 22a is gradually inclined upward as it goes toward the rear, and the shelf plate 30 is disposed such that the front end portion is supported by the inner component 42 of the slider 40 via the shelf support shaft 316, and the rear end portion is swingable up and down with respect to the inner component 43 about the shelf support shaft 316, and is placed on the upper end surface 22a of the holder member 20 to be in the inclined posture when slid to the rear, so that it is not necessary to provide an inclined support member for supporting the shelf plate in the inclined posture on the holder member as in the conventional case, and the number of components can be reduced. Further, since the inclined support members having a certain lateral width can be eliminated, the effective volume between the holder members 20 for placing the commodity can be increased. Therefore, the manufacturing cost can be reduced and the storage volume of the sales commodity can be increased.

According to the above-described showcase, since the surface of the sliding portion 315 attached to the lower surface of the rear end portion of the side frame portion 313 so as to contact the upper end surface 22a of the support member 20 is made of a smooth resin, it is possible to smoothly slide the shelf plate 30 and suppress noise, deformation, and the like caused by sliding contact between members formed of sheet metal or the like.

According to the above-described showcase, since the gap S1 is formed between both end portions of the front end extending portion 311a of the shelf plate 30 and the front end portion of the side end extending portion 313a, dust adhering to the upper surface of the mounting plate 32 can be removed through the gap S1, and the commodity mounting rack 10 can be easily cleaned.

In the first embodiment, the shelf plate 30 is slid in the front-rear direction by the sliders 40 provided on the inner sides of the pair of right and left holder members 20, but the following configuration may be adopted.

That is, the slider 40 attached to the inner side of at least one of the holder members 20 may be removed, and the side end portion of the shelf plate 30 may be slid on the upper surface of the holder member 20 from which the slider 40 is removed. Thus, by omitting the slider 40, the effective volume between the holder members 20 can be further enlarged.

In the first embodiment, the stopper 43 is provided at the tip end portion of the inner component 42 of the slider 40, but a stopper having the following configuration may be used.

That is, as shown in fig. 12, a rod-shaped stopper 431 whose left-right direction is the longitudinal direction is provided in the stopper support piece 311b at the lower portion of the front frame portion 311 'of the frame 31', and the stopper 431 is vertically movable inside a rectangular long hole 311c whose vertical direction is the longitudinal direction. Further, when the frame plate 30 is in the stored state, both end portions of the stoppers 431 enter the recesses 23 provided at the front end portion of the holder member 20', and the frame plate 30 can be held in the stored state. The stopper 431 entering the recess 23 is moved upward to be disengaged from the recess 23, whereby the shelf plate 30 is allowed to slide forward, and the shelf plate 30 is in a replenished state.

In the stopper 431 as described above, the operator may move the stopper 431 up and down with one hand, thereby improving convenience.

In the present invention, the following structure may be provided. The same components as those described above are denoted by the same reference numerals, and descriptions thereof are omitted as appropriate.

As shown in fig. 13, the rod-shaped stopper 431 includes an operation region 431a and a non-operation region 431b, the operation region 431a is a region operated by an operator between the holder members 20', and the non-operation region 431b is a region continuous to both ends of the operation region 431 a. A non-operation facing region 3111 is provided in front frame portion 311' of frame plate 30, and non-operation facing region 3111 is vertically moved above stopper 431 by stopper 431 so as to face non-operation region 431b in a direction of approaching to and separating from it. In the non-operation facing region 3111, a protrusion 3112 is provided to protrude downward toward the non-operation region 431 b.

According to the above configuration, when, for example, the right end portion of the operation region 431a of the stopper 431 is operated, as shown in fig. 14, the stopper 431 is inclined so that the right side is upward and the left side is downward, and the right side is separated upward from the recess 23 of the holder member 20'. At this time, the left side of the stopper 431 is formed in a state of entering the recess 23 of the holder member 20'.

When the right non-operation region 431b of the stopper 431 abuts against the right protruding portion 3112, the left side of the stopper 431 moves upward by the lever principle, and is separated from the recess 23 of the holder member 20'. Then, as shown in fig. 15, the left non-operation region 431b of the stopper 431 abuts on the left protrusion 3112, and the shelf plate 30 can be slid forward.

In this way, since the protruding portion 3112 provided in the non-operation-opposing region 3111 abuts on one non-operation region 431b of the stopper 431 separated from the recess 23, the other side of the stopper 431 can be moved upward by the lever principle, and the operator can easily separate the stopper 431 from the recess 23 by pushing up any portion of the operation region 431a of the stopper 431 with one hand, thereby improving convenience.

In fig. 13, the non-operation regions 431b are provided continuously with both ends of the operation region 431a of the stopper 431, but in the present invention, the non-operation regions 431b may be provided continuously with one end of the operation region 431 a. In the above case, the non-operation facing region 3111 of the shelf plate 30 is not provided at both the left and right ends but at one end. Further, the protrusion 3112 is provided in the non-operation facing region 3111, but in the present invention, a protrusion may be provided in the non-operation region of the stopper so as to protrude toward the non-operation facing region.

< second embodiment >

Fig. 16 is a sectional side view showing a display case according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The display case illustrated here is a device that stores products to be sold in a shop such as a convenience store in the interior of the case main body 51. In the second embodiment, a refrigerating showcase for storing goods to be refrigerated is illustrated in particular.

That is, in the present showcase, the rear panel 52 is provided inside the cabinet main body 51, the ventilation duct 53 is formed between the rear panel 52 and the rear wall 51a of the cabinet main body 51, and the storage chamber 54 is formed in front of the rear panel 52. An evaporator 55 and a blower fan 56 are disposed inside the ventilation duct 53. The evaporator 55 and a not-shown condensing unit together constitute a refrigeration cycle, and exchange heat with air passing therethrough. In the above-described showcase, when the not-shown condensing unit and the air blowing fan 56 are driven, the air passing through the evaporator 55 is circulated and supplied to the storage chamber 54 through the ventilation duct 53, and the storage chamber 54 is maintained at a desired refrigerating temperature.

The cabinet main body 51 is formed in a box shape having an opening (hereinafter, also referred to as a front opening) 51b on a front surface, and has a plurality of commodity racks 60 in the storage chamber 54. Since the commodity racks 60 in the respective layers of the storage chamber 54 have the same configuration, one commodity rack 60 will be described below.

Fig. 17 to 19 show one article mounting rack 60 shown in fig. 16, respectively, fig. 17 and 18 are perspective views, and fig. 19 is an exploded perspective view. As shown in fig. 17 to 19, the commodity shelf 60 includes a holder member 70 and a shelf plate 80.

The bracket members 70 are disposed so as to protrude forward from the bracket posts 57 attached to the front surfaces of the left and right sides of the back panel 52. That is, the holder member 70 is a pair of right and left members disposed in the cabinet main body 51, i.e., the storage chamber 54, so as to be spaced apart from each other. Hereinafter, for convenience, the direction in which the two bracket members 70 approach each other will be referred to as an inner side, and the direction in which the bracket members separate from each other will be referred to as an outer side.

As shown in fig. 20, the holder member 70 is formed of sheet metal or the like, and is configured by integrally molding a side wall portion 71 and an upper wall portion 72.

The side wall portion 71 is a main component of the holder member 70, and is an elongated portion whose longitudinal direction is the front-rear direction. The side wall portion 71 is formed such that the vertical dimension of the rear end portion is larger than the vertical dimension of the area on the front side of the rear end portion, and a plurality of locking pieces 711 protruding rearward are formed at the rear end portion of the rear end portion. The locking piece 711 can be inserted into an arbitrary locking hole, not shown, provided on the front surface of the rack support 57. When the locking piece 711 is inserted into the locking hole, the rear end portion of the side wall portion 71 abuts against the front surface of the rack post 57, and the holder member 70 can be supported at an arbitrary height of the rack post 57 in a substantially horizontal cantilever manner.

As shown in fig. 21, an outer member 751 of the slider 75 is attached to the inside of the side wall portion 71. The slider 75 is a conventionally known member, and allows an inner component 752 constituting the slider 75 to slide in the front-rear direction with respect to an outer component 751.

The upper wall portion 72 is a horizontally extending portion extending more inward than the upper end edge portion of the side wall portion 71, and has a reinforcing attachment portion 721 at the rear end portion thereof. The reinforcing attachment portion 721 is a horizontal plate-like portion formed such that a leading end portion 721a protrudes inward from the slider 75 attached to the side wall portion 71. The reinforcing member 90 is fastened to the front end portion 721a of the reinforcing attachment portion 721 at two front and rear positions by fastening members N2 such as screws.

The reinforcing member 90 is formed of, for example, sheet metal, and connects the pair of left and right bracket members 70 to each other, thereby restricting deformation of the bracket members 70. The reinforcing member 90 is formed by integrally forming a reinforcing base 91, a reinforcing rear end lower part 92, a reinforcing front end lower part 93, a reinforcing front extending part 94, and a reinforcing upper extending part 95.

The reinforcing base 91 has a length in the front-rear direction substantially equal to the length in the front-rear direction of the reinforcing attachment portion 721, and is a flat plate-like portion having both left and right end portions fastened to the front end portion 721a of the reinforcing attachment portion 721 by the fastening member N2. The reinforcing rear end lower portion 92 extends downward from the rear end portion of the reinforcing base portion 91, and the extending end portion thereof is bent forward. The reinforcing leading end lower portion 93 is a portion extending downward from the leading end portion of the reinforcing base portion 91. The length of the reinforcing leading end lower portion 93 extending downward from the leading end portion of the reinforcing base 91 is substantially the same as the length of the reinforcing rear end lower portion 92 extending downward from the rear end portion of the reinforcing base 91. The reinforcing forward extending portion 94 is a portion extending forward from the extending end portion of the reinforcing forward end lower portion 93. The reinforcing upper extending portion 95 extends upward from the front end of the reinforcing front extending portion 94, and the extending end thereof is bent rearward. The length of the reinforcing extending portion 95 extending upward from the front end portion of the reinforcing extending portion 94 is substantially the same as the length of the reinforcing extending portion 93 extending downward from the front end portion of the reinforcing base portion 91. In this way, the reinforcing member 90 has a sufficient strength by integrally forming the reinforcing base 91, the reinforcing rear end lower portion 92, the reinforcing front end lower portion 93, the reinforcing front extension portion 94, and the reinforcing upper extension portion 95, and performing a so-called double-hat bending process. Further, a plurality of magnets 951 are attached to the reinforcement upper extension 95 constituting the front end surface of the reinforcement member 90.

As shown in fig. 19, the shelf plate 80 is a portion on which commodities to be sold are placed, and is configured by supporting a placement plate 82 inside a rectangular-shaped shelf frame 81. The mounting plate 82 is a transparent rectangular plate-like body such as a glass plate.

The rear frame portion 811 constituting the rear portion of the frame 81 is a member that mounts and supports the rear end portion of the mounting plate 82 on the front end portion 811a, and a stepped portion 811c is formed at a boundary portion between the front end portion 811a and the rear end portion 811b so that the rear end portion 811b and the mounting plate 82 are formed on the same plane. The rear end portion 811b is a member for placing a commodity, similar to the placement plate 82.

In the chassis 80, a front end extending portion 812a extending upward is formed at a front end portion of a front frame portion 812 constituting a front portion of the chassis frame 81, and a side end extending portion 813a extending upward is formed at an end portion of a pair of left and right side frame portions 813 constituting both side portions of the chassis frame 81. Further, a gap S2 is formed between both end portions of the distal end upward extending portion 812a and the distal end portion 811a of the side end upward extending portion 813 a.

In the shelf plate 80 as described above, the side frame portion 813 is coupled to the inner component 752 of the slider 75 attached to the holder member 70. Thus, the shelf 80 is mounted inside the bracket members 70 by the slider 75, is laid between the bracket members 70, and is slidable in the front-rear direction through the front-surface opening 51b between the storage posture of sliding in the rearmost direction shown in fig. 17 and 18 and the complementary posture of sliding in the frontmost direction shown in fig. 22 and 23.

When the shelf plate 80 is in the storage posture, a part of the rear frame portion 811 is bonded to the magnet 951 of the reinforcing member 90 by a magnetic force to maintain the storage posture. The rear end portion 811b of the rear frame portion 811 is disposed in an area above the reinforcing base portion 91 of the reinforcing member 90.

As described above, according to the display case of the second embodiment of the present invention, since the reinforcing attachment portion 721 of the rear end portion 811b of the upper wall portion 72 of the holder member 70 is provided so that the front end portion 721a protrudes inward beyond the slider 75 attached to the inner side of the side wall portion 71, and the front end portion 721a is fastened to the reinforcing member 90 by the fastening member N2, it is not necessary to consider interference between the fastening member N2 and the slider 75, and the gap between the upper wall portion 72 and the slider 75 can be minimized as required. This makes it possible to reduce the vertical dimension of the holder members 70, and to reduce the vertical dimension of the commodity-carrying rack 60 including the shelf plates 80 that are erected between the holder members 70. Therefore, the storage volume of the sales commodity can be further increased.

According to the above-described showcase, the reinforcing member 90 is not formed in an L-shape in a vertical section as in the conventional case, but the reinforcing base 91, the reinforcing rear end lower portion 92, the reinforcing front end lower portion 93, the reinforcing forward extending portion 94, and the reinforcing upward extending portion 95 are integrally formed, and the strength is sufficiently high by a so-called double-hat bent shape, and the reinforcing attachment portion 721 and the reinforcing member 90 are fastened at two front and rear positions by the fastening member N2, respectively, so that the strength of the entire commodity shelf 60 can be improved.

According to the showcase, since the rear end portion 811b of the rear frame portion 811 is flush with the placement plate 82 and the stepped portion 811c is formed in the rear frame portion 811, the height of the shelf plate 80 for placing commodities can be reduced, and the storage volume of commodities for sale can be increased.

According to the above-described showcase, since the gap S2 is formed between both end portions of the front end upward extending portion 812a of the shelf plate 80 and the front end portion 811a of the side end upward extending portion 813a, dust adhering to the upper surface of the mounting plate 82 can be removed through the gap S2, and the commodity mounting shelf 60 can be easily cleaned.

In the second embodiment, the reinforcing member 90 has a curved shape called a double-hat shape, but the reinforcing member 90 may have a curved shape called a hat shape by integrally forming the reinforcing base 91, the reinforcing rear end lower portion 92, and the reinforcing front end lower portion 93.

In addition, in the second embodiment, the reinforcing attachment portion 721 is fastened to the reinforcing member 90 at two front and rear positions at the front end portion 721a by the fastening member N2, but the reinforcing attachment portion 721 may be fastened to the reinforcing member 90 at a plurality of positions at the front end portion 721a by the fastening member N2.
