[0044] The mounting portion 73 has a front plate 74, a rear plate 75, and a connecting plate 76 that connects the front plate 74 and the rear plate 75 at the lower end side, and is formed so as to be open at the top. A display arrangement portion 80 is provided at the front end side of the shelf board 40, and allows a display member to be arranged thereon. The front panel 74 is connected to a display arrangement portion 80 at an upper end portion 74a thereof.

[0045] According to this, by integrating the front panel 74 and the display arrangement section 80 in a connected manner, it is possible to eliminate the member that joins the front panel 74 and the display arrangement section 80, thereby reducing the number of parts.

[0046] The mounting portion 73 has a front plate 74, a rear plate 75, and a connecting plate 76 that connects the front plate 74 and the rear plate 75 at the lower end side, and is formed so as to be open at the top. A rear surface 75 a of the rear plate 75 of the mounting portion 73 serves as a guide surface for the partition member 90 .

[0047] According to this, by using the rear surface 75a of the rear plate 75 of the attachment portion 73 as a guide surface for the partition member 90, an efficient and simple configuration can be achieved.

[0048] The slide rail of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various design modifications are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0049] For example, the shelf board 40 may be directly subjected to a lubricity treatment, such as the lubricity-treated plate material disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No. 2007-160643 (JP Patent Publication No. 2008-307866) previously filed by the applicant.

[0050] Furthermore, examples of the slip treatment of the shelf board 40 and the slip treatment of the slip treatment sheet 50 include silicone resin coating, ceramic coating, cationic electrocoating, application of wax, lubricating oil, etc., as long as slip properties can be imparted.

[0051] It is also possible to adopt an embodiment in which the shelf board 40 is not provided with the slip-treated sheet 50 or is not subjected to slip treatment.

[0052] The shelf board 40 can also be attached to the support 11 via the shelf board bracket 30 so as to be aligned in the horizontal direction.

[0053] Alternatively, a configuration without the insertion piece 77 can be adopted, for example, by attaching double-sided tape to the underside of the connecting plate 76 to attach the slide rail 70 to the shelf board 40.

[0054] Furthermore, a configuration without the pressing piece 78 can be adopted, so that the attachment portion 73 and the fall prevention member 60 can be fitted together tightly without play. [Explanation of symbols]
