Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0004] This disclosure provides a storage cabinet that can prevent incorrect installation of display utensils.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0005] The storage cabinet in this disclosure is a storage cabinet provided with a display shelf. The display shelf includes a shelf decoration provided at the front end of the display shelf and display utensils placed on the display shelf. The shelf decoration includes a tipping prevention part extending upward from the display shelf and engaging with a claw part provided at the front end of the display utensils, and a guide part extending upward from the display shelf and provided in front of the tipping prevention part. The length from the front end of the guide part to the rear end of the tipping prevention part is longer than the inner dimension of the claw part.
Effects of the Invention
[0006] When the claw part is engaged with the guide part in the storage cabinet of this disclosure, the lower plate of the display utensils and the tipping prevention part interfere with each other, and the display utensils cannot be installed horizontally. Therefore, it is easy for the user to know that the display utensils are incorrectly arranged. Thus, incorrect arrangement of the display utensils can be suppressed. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[Figure 4] Perspective view of the display fixture in Embodiment 1 [Figure 5] Enlarged view of the main part of Figure 3 in Embodiment 1 [Figure 6] Diagram showing the area around the shelf decoration section in Embodiment 2. [Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0008] (Knowledge and other information that formed the basis of this disclosure) At the time the inventors conceived of this disclosure, a type of showcase was known in which two flat metal or plastic plates, extending horizontally from left to right, were positioned at the front of the display shelf, spaced apart from each other in the front-to-back direction. In such showcases, a price rail was placed on the front plate to attach price tags to products, and a display fixture for displaying products was fixed to the rear plate. However, the inventors discovered that with the conventional technology, users could mistakenly fix the display fixture to the front plate, which made it easy for the display fixture to be positioned in an unstable state. To solve this problem, the subject of this disclosure was established. Therefore, this disclosure provides a storage unit that can prevent the incorrect installation of display fixtures.
[0009] The embodiments will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. However, some unnecessarily detailed explanations may be omitted. For example, detailed explanations of already well-known matters or redundant explanations of substantially identical configurations may be omitted. The attached drawings and the following description are provided to enable those skilled in the art to fully understand this disclosure and are not intended to limit the subject matter described in the claims.
[0010] Furthermore, unless otherwise specified, directions such as front, back, left, right, up, and down in the explanation refer to the same directions as when viewing the showcase from the front in Figure 1. Also, in the arrows shown in each figure, "UP" indicates the upward direction of the showcase, "FR" indicates the forward direction, and "R" indicates the right direction.
[0011] (Embodiment 1) [1-1. Structure] [1-1-1. Overall configuration of the showcase] Figure 1 is a cross-sectional view of showcase 1 to which the card rail of this disclosure is applied, showing a cross-section perpendicular to the width direction of showcase 1. In this embodiment, the case in which an open showcase is used as the storage facility of this disclosure will be explained as an example. Showcase 1 is placed on the floor of a store, such as a supermarket or convenience store, and displays beverages, food, and other products in a refrigerated state. Showcase 1 is a so-called open-type showcase.
[0012] Showcase 1 has a roughly box-shaped case 11 with an opening at the front for loading and unloading goods. Hereinafter, the left side of Showcase 1 in Figure 1, i.e., the direction of the opening of case 11, will be referred to as the front, and the right side of Showcase 1 in Figure 1, the rear, will be referred to as the rear, and the direction perpendicular to this front-to-back direction when Showcase 1 is viewed from the front will be referred to as the width direction or left-to-right direction. Showcase 1 has a base 18 that supports case 11. Inside case 11 is a display room 12, which is a space where goods are displayed.
[0013] The case 11 has a bottom wall 13 that covers the display chamber 12 from below. The case 11 has a pair of side walls (not shown) that stand on the left and right side edges of the bottom wall 13 and cover the display chamber 12 from the left and right directions. The case 11 has a rear wall 15 that is spanned between the pair of left and right side walls and covers the display chamber 12 from behind. The case 11 has an upper wall 16 that is spanned between each side wall and the rear wall 15 and covers the display chamber 12 from above. On the bottom wall 13, a lower front wall 17 is formed where the front part of the bottom wall 13 bends and extends upward. All of these bottom wall 13, each side wall, lower front wall 17, rear wall 15, and upper wall 16 are heat-insulating walls.
[0014] On the lower surface of the bottom wall 13, a pedestal portion 18 that is placed on the floor which is the placement surface of the showcase 1 is provided. The pedestal portion 18 supports the case 11 by its upper surface.
[0015] Inside the case 11, an inner wall 20 is provided which is spaced apart from the inner surface of the case 11 and covers the case 11 from the inside. The inner wall 20 has a partition wall 22 that extends along the vertical direction in front of the rear wall 15. The inner wall 20 has an inner upper wall 24 that extends forward along the upper wall 16 from the upper end of the partition wall 22. The inner wall 20 has a deck pan 26 that extends forward substantially horizontally from the lower end of the partition wall 22 and is connected to the upper part of the lower front wall 17.
[0016] The display chamber 12 is formed by being partitioned by the inner wall 20 and each side wall. For example, the partition wall 22 functions as a back panel that constitutes the back surface of the display chamber 12. Inside the display chamber 12, a plurality of display shelves 28 on which products are placed and displayed on the upper surface are provided. Each display shelf 28 is arranged vertically, spaced apart from each other, attached to the partition wall 22, and extends substantially horizontally forward. In the present embodiment, the deck pan 26 is also configured to be able to display products, and the deck pan 26 functions as the lowermost display shelf. The front end of the deck pan 26 is located in front of the front ends of each display shelf 28. Also, in the present embodiment, four display shelves 28 are arranged vertically, but the number of display shelves 28 may be any number of one or more.
[0017] A duct 30 is formed between the inner wall 20 and the case 11. The duct 30 is a space surrounded by the inner wall 20, the bottom wall 13, each side wall, the lower front wall 17, the rear wall 15, and the upper wall 16.
[0018] The duct 30 is formed between the deck pan 26 and the bottom wall 13 and has a lower duct 32 extending in the front-rear direction. The duct 30 is formed between the partition wall 22 and the rear wall 15 and has a back duct 34 extending in the vertical direction. The duct 30 is formed between the inner upper wall 24 and the upper wall 16 and has an upper duct 36 extending in the front-rear direction. The display chamber 12 is surrounded by the lower duct 32, the back duct 34, and the upper duct 36.
[0019] At the front end of the upper duct 36, an air outlet 37 that opens downward and communicates with the display chamber 12 is provided. The air outlet 37 is located below the front end of the upper wall 16 and is provided at a position above the front side of the display chamber 12.
[0020] At the upper part of the front end of the lower duct 32, a suction port 38, which is an opening that opens upward and communicates with the display chamber 12, is provided. The suction port 38 is continuous with the rear part of the lower front wall 17 and is provided at the lower front part of the display chamber 12. The suction port 38 is located in front of the air outlet 37. The air outlet 37 and the suction port 38 extend longitudinally between the side walls across substantially the entire width direction of the case 11.
[0021] The showcase 1 has a cooling system 31 for cooling the display chamber 12 (see FIG. 4). This cooling system is a refrigeration cycle in which a compressor (not shown) for compressing a refrigerant, an evaporator 31a, a condenser (not shown), and an expansion mechanism are connected in a ring shape by piping (not shown), and the refrigerant is enclosed in the cooling system. In the present embodiment, the evaporator 31a is provided inside the duct 30 provided in the case 11, and the above-described compressor, condenser, and expansion mechanism are housed in an outdoor unit (not shown) that is separate from the showcase 1. Note that the compressor, condenser, and expansion mechanism may be provided integrally with the showcase 1, for example, housed inside the pedestal portion 18.
[0022] A blower 33 is installed inside the duct 30. The blower 33 circulates the air (cold air) cooled in the evaporator 31a by blowing air through the impeller 33b, which is rotated by the motor 33a.
[0023] Figure 2 is a perspective view of display shelf 28. The display shelf 28 comprises a left frame 41 which is the left frame of the display shelf 28, a right frame 42 which is the right frame, a rear frame 43 which is the rear end frame, and a shelf decoration section (shelf decoration) 44 which is the front end frame.
[0024] The shelf display section 44 includes a fall prevention section 44b that engages with a claw section 61 provided at the front end of the display fixture 50 and extends upward from the display shelf 28, and a guide section 44c provided in front of the fall prevention section 44b and extending upward from the display shelf 28. The guide section 44c is provided with a price rail (display body holding member) 46 on the front side of the guide section 44c for holding a display body that displays product information. In other words, the guide section 44c in this embodiment also includes a price rail (display body holding member) 46. Note that the price rail (display body holding member) 46 is not necessarily required, and in Embodiment 2, a form in which the guide section 44c does not have a price rail (display body holding member) 46 is described. Also, when the guide section 44 is equipped with a price rail 46, "upward" includes not only directly upward but also diagonally upward, etc. The shelf display section 44 and the rear frame 43 are arranged by being spanned across the left frame 41 and the right frame 42. The shelves 45 on which the goods are displayed are supported on top of the shelf display section 44 and the rear frame 43.
[0025] The left frame 41 and the right frame 42 are a pair of left and right frames, and are installed symmetrically. Multiple hooks 41a and 42a are formed at the rear ends of the left frame 41 and the right frame 42. The display shelf 28 is fixed to the display room 12 by engaging these hooks 41a and 42a with engagement holes (not shown) formed in the partition wall 22.
[0026] Figure 3 is a side view of the display shelf 28 on which the display fixture 50 is placed. Figure 4 is a perspective view of the display fixture 50. Figure 5 is an enlarged view of the main part of Figure 3. As shown in Figures 3 and 5, the shelf display section 44 has a lower surface section 44a that extends along the shelf board 45 in the front-rear direction of the shelf board 45, an anti-tipping section 44b that extends upward from the middle of the lower surface section 44a, and a guide section 44c that extends upward from the front end of the lower surface section 44a. The anti-tipping section 44b prevents products placed on the shelf board 45 from falling forward and also secures the display fixture 50, which will be described later, and is formed in front of the front end of the shelf board 45. The guide section 44c is formed in front of the anti-tipping section 44b.
[0027] Figure 5 of this embodiment shows an example in which the shelf decoration section 44 is equipped with a price rail (display holding member) 46, and the guide section 44c is equipped with a mechanism for installing the price rail (display holding member) 46. More specifically, the guide section 44c of the shelf decoration section 44 in this embodiment includes a guide plate 44c1 extending upward from the front end of the lower surface section 44a, and a price rail 46 attached to the guide plate 44c1.
[0028] The price rail 46 is provided across the guide plate 44c1 in the left-right direction. The price rail 46 has a holding portion 46b for holding price cards (displays) (not shown) for displaying information such as the price of a product, and a mounting portion 46a formed from the rear end of the holding portion 46b toward the rear and downward and engaging with the guide plate 44c1 of the shelf decoration portion 44.
[0029] Although not shown in Figure 1, as shown in Figure 3, display fixtures 50 are placed on the display shelf 28. Figure 4 shows the display fixture 50. The display fixture 50 in Figure 4 is installed in front of the shelf board 45 of the case 11, with the right side of the drawing facing forward. The display fixture 50 has a bottom board 51, side boards 52 extending upward from the long edge of the bottom board 51, and a front board 53 extending upward from the short edge of the bottom board 51. The side boards 52 also have a sliding board 54 that is supported so as to be approximately perpendicular to the bottom board 51.
[0030] The display fixture 50 has a sliding mechanism 55 for sliding a sliding plate 54 in the front-rear direction of the shelf plate 45. More specifically, the sliding mechanism 55 has a rail portion 56 provided on the side plate 52, a spring member 57 positioned at the rear end of the side plate 52, and a pull-out member 58 slidably provided on the rail portion 56.
[0031] The rail section 56 is a recess provided in the side plate 52, and supports the drawer member 58 and the slide plate 54 so that they can move in the front-rear direction.
[0032] The front end of the pull-out member 58 is provided with a handle portion 58a having a round hole. The rear end of the pull-out member 58 is provided with an extrusion portion 58b that supports the slide plate 54 from behind.
[0033] A spring member 57 is provided at the rear end of the rail section 56. The rear end of the spring member 57 is fixed, and the front end is fixed to the push-out section 58b provided on the pull-out member 58.
[0034] As a result, when the user holds the handle portion 58a and pulls the drawer member 58 forward of the shelf board 45, the push portion 58b of the drawer member 58 pushes the slide plate 54 forward of the shelf board 45. Subsequently, due to the biasing force of the spring member 57, only the drawer member 58 returns to its original position, and the slide plate 54 remains pushed forward.
[0035] Two claws 60 are provided on the front surface of the front panel 53. In this embodiment, the front panel 53 and claws 60 of the display fixture 50 form a claw portion 61 that is open at the bottom. As shown in Figure 5, in this embodiment, the claw 60 has an upper claw plate 60a that extends forward from the middle of the front panel 53 in the vertical direction, and a front claw plate 60b that extends downward from the tip of the upper claw plate 60a. The tip of the front claw plate 60b is provided with a projection 61b directed inward of the claw portion 61. The claw 60 is a substantially L-shaped member in side view. The claw portion 61 engages with the anti-tipping portion 44b of the shelf decoration portion 44. That is, the display fixture 50 is positioned so that the upper end of the anti-tipping portion 44b is located inside the claw portion 61. In a side view, the upper end of the anti-tip portion 44b is located above the lower end of the front claw plate 60b.
[0036] In this embodiment, the dimensions of the claw portion 61 and the shelf decoration portion 44 are defined. Specifically, the length L1 from the front end of the guide portion 44c of the shelf decoration portion 44 to the rear end of the anti-tipping portion 44b is formed to be longer than the inner dimension L2 of the claw portion 61. The inner dimension L2 of the claw portion 61 is the distance from the rear end of the front claw plate 60b of the claw portion 61 to the front end of the front plate 53 of the display fixture 50. More specifically, since the price rail 46 is supported on the front side of the shelf decoration section 44, the front end of the guide section 44c in this embodiment is located near the price rail 46. In other words, it is the front end of the price rail 46 in the overlapping area S1 where the front claw plate 60b and the price rail 46 overlap in a front view.
[0037] In other words, the length L1 from the front end of the price rail 46 at a position overlapping with the front claw plate 60b in a front view to the rear end of the anti-tipping portion 44b is formed to be longer than the length (internal dimension L2) from the rear end of the front claw plate 60b to the front end of the front plate 53 within the overlapping range S1.
[0038] Furthermore, the length L3 from the rear end of the guide portion 44c to the front end of the anti-tip portion 44b is formed to be longer than the plate thickness L4 of the claw portion 61. Note that the rear end of the guide portion 44 refers to the rear end of the guide plate 44c1, and the mounting portion 46a of the price rail 46 is not considered. In other words, the length L3 from the rear end of the guide portion 44c to the front end of the anti-tip portion 44b is the length from the rear end of the guide plate 44c1 to the front end of the anti-tip portion 44b.
[0039] The thickness of the claw portion 61 is based on the length in the front-to-back direction of the thickest part of the surface that engages with the anti-roll portion 44b. In other words, in this embodiment, the thickness L4 of the claw portion 61 is the length in the front-to-back direction based on the projection 61b of the front claw plate 60b. In this embodiment, the length L3 from the rear end of the guide portion 44c to the front end of the anti-tip portion 44b is approximately the same as the combined length of the plate thickness L4 of the front claw plate 60b and the length from the rear end surface of the guide plate 44c to the rear end of the mounting portion 46a of the price rail 46. In other words, the rear end of the mounting portion 46a of the price rail 46 abuts against the front end of the front claw plate 60b. In other words, the guide plate 44c1, the anti-tipping part 44b, the mounting part 46a, and the front claw plate 60b engage with each other, allowing the shelf decoration part 44 and the display fixture 50 to be engaged more firmly.
[0040] The length L3 from the rear end of the guide portion 44c to the front end of the anti-tip portion 44b should be such that the front claw plate 60b can be inserted between the anti-tip portion 44b and the guide portion 44c when the display fixture 50 is placed on the shelf board 45, and the front claw plate 60b engages with the anti-tip portion 44b to restrict the display fixture 50 from moving to the rear of the shelf board 45.
[0041] [1-2. Operation] In the display fixture 50 placed on the display shelf 28, multiple products are displayed in a row in the direction of the opening from the sliding plate 54. Subsequently, if the number of displayed products decreases as some of the displayed products are removed, the position of the sliding plate 54 is adjusted to push the products at the back of the display shelf 28 to the front of the display shelf 28. Furthermore, even if products that cannot stand upright are propped up or if the number of displayed products decreases and the display fixture 50 falls over, the anti-tipping part 44b and the sliding plate 54 support the products, allowing the products to be easily repositioned and rearranged in front of the display shelf 28.
[0042] As described above, when changing the position of the slide plate 54 of the display fixture 50, the user places the display fixture 50 on the display shelf 28, grasps the handle portion 58a, and pulls it towards the front of the display shelf 28. This pulls the drawer member 58, and the push portion 58b of the drawer member 58 pulls the slide plate 54. After that, when the user releases the handle portion 58a, the biasing force of the spring member 57 causes only the drawer member 58 to return to its original position, and the slide plate 54 can be moved forward. At this time, it is desirable that the display fixture 50 is fixed in place in order to pull out the slide plate 54.
[0043] In this embodiment, the claw portion 61 of the display fixture 50 is fitted between the anti-tipping portion 44b and the guide plate 44c1, thereby fixing the position of the display fixture 50. Therefore, even when a pull-out operation is performed, the display fixture 50 is prevented from shifting backward.
[0044] [1-3. Effects, etc.] As described above, in the showcase 1 equipped with a display shelf 28 according to this embodiment, the display shelf 28 comprises a shelf decoration portion 44 provided at the front end of the display shelf 28 and a display fixture 50 placed on the display shelf 28. The shelf decoration portion 44 comprises a fall prevention portion 44b extending upward from the display shelf 28 and engaging with a claw portion 61 provided at the front end of the display fixture 50, a guide plate 44c1 extending upward from the display shelf 28 and provided in front of the fall prevention portion 44b, and a price rail 46 attached to the guide plate 44c1. The length from the front end of the guide portion 44c to the rear end of the fall prevention portion 44b is longer than the inner dimension L2 of the claw portion 61. According to this, when the claw portion 61 is engaged with the guide portion 44c, the lower plate 51 of the display fixture 50 and the anti-tipping portion 44b interfere with each other, making it impossible to install the display fixture 50 horizontally. Therefore, it is easy for the user to see that the display fixture 50 has been placed incorrectly. Thus, incorrect placement of the display fixture 50 can be suppressed. Furthermore, this also prevents the claw portion 61 from being incorrectly attached to the price rail 46, thereby preventing damage to the price rail 46 caused by placing the display fixture 50 in the wrong position.
[0045] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the length L3 from the rear end of the guide portion 44c to the front end of the anti-tip portion 44b is longer than the plate thickness L4 of the claw portion 61. According to this, the claw portion 61 can be inserted between the guide portion 44c and the anti-tipping portion 44b, making it easier to fix the position of the display fixture 50.
[0046] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the guide portion 44c is provided with a price rail 46 on the front side of the guide portion 44c for holding a display body that displays product information, and the claw portion 61 is provided with a claw 60 that engages between the anti-tip portion 44b and the guide portion 44c, and the length L1 from the front end of the price rail 46 at a position that overlaps with the claw 60 in a front view to the rear end of the anti-tip portion 44b is longer than the inner dimension L2 of the claw portion. According to this, since the claw portion 61 of the display fixture 50 does not interfere with the guide portion 44c, there is no need to position the price rail 46 while avoiding the claw portion 61, and the layout of the display can be improved.
[0047] (Embodiment 2) [2-1. Structure] Embodiment 2, to which the present invention is applied, will now be described. In this Embodiment 2, parts configured in the same way as in Embodiment 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals and their description is omitted.
[0048] In Embodiment 1, the guide section 44c was composed of a guide plate 44c1 and a price rail 46. That is, the shelf decoration section 44 was composed of a bottom section 44a, an anti-tipping section 44b, a guide plate 44c1, and a price rail 46. However, in Embodiment 2, the guide section 44c does not have a price rail 46 and is composed only of a guide plate 44c1. That is, the shelf decoration section (shelf decoration) 144 is composed of a bottom section 44a, an anti-tipping section 44b, and a guide plate 44c1.
[0049] Figure 6 shows the area around the shelf decoration section 144 in Embodiment 2. Since the shelf decoration section 144 does not have a price rail (display holding member) 46, the length L1 from the front end of the guide section 44c of the shelf decoration section 44 to the rear end of the anti-tipping section 44b is the length from the front end of the guide plate 44c1 to the rear end of the anti-tipping section 44b. In this embodiment, the front end of the guide portion 44c is the front end of the price rail 46, and is the overlapping area S2 where the front claw plate 60b and the guide plate 44c1 overlap in a front view, where the claw portion 61 may catch on the guide plate 44c1 when the display fixture 50 is fixed to the shelf board 45.
[0050] [2-2. Operation] In this embodiment as well, similar to Embodiment 1, the claw portion 61 of the display fixture 50 is fitted between the anti-tipping portion 44b and the guide plate 44c1, so the position of the display fixture 50 is fixed. Therefore, even when a pull-out operation is performed, the display fixture 50 is prevented from shifting backward.
[0051] [2-3. Effects, etc.] As described above, according to Embodiment 2 to which the present invention is applied, similar to Embodiment 1, in a showcase 1 equipped with a display shelf 28, the display shelf 28 comprises a shelf ornament 144 provided at the front end of the display shelf 28 and a display fixture 50 placed on the display shelf 28, the shelf ornament 144 comprises a fall prevention portion 44b extending upward from the display shelf 28 that engages with a claw portion 61 provided at the front end of the display fixture 50, and a guide plate 44c1 provided in front of the fall prevention portion 44b that extends upward from the display shelf 28, the length from the front end of the guide plate 44c1 to the rear end of the fall prevention portion 44b is longer than the inner dimension L2 of the claw portion 61. According to this, when the claw portion 61 is engaged with the guide plate 44c1, the lower plate 51 of the display fixture 50 and the anti-tipping portion 44b interfere with each other, making it impossible to install the display fixture 50 horizontally. Therefore, it is easy for the user to see that the display fixture 50 has been placed incorrectly. Thus, incorrect placement of the display fixture 50 can be suppressed.
[0052] (Other embodiments) As described above, Embodiment 1 has been presented as an example disclosed in this application. However, the technology in this disclosure is not limited to this and can be applied to embodiments that have been modified, replaced, added, or omitted. Furthermore, it is possible to create new embodiments by combining the components described in Embodiment 1. Therefore, other embodiments are illustrated below.
[0053] In the embodiment 1 described above, an example was described in which a price rail 46 is provided on the shelf display section 44. However, the price rail 46 is not mandatory; a price holder, which is provided on a part of the guide section 44c to hold a price card or other display element, may also be provided. Multiple price holders may be provided.
[0054] In the embodiment described above, the length L3 from the rear end of the guide portion 44c to the front end of the anti-tip portion 44b was approximately the same as the combined length of the plate thickness L4 of the claw portion 61 and the plate thickness of the mounting portion 46a of the price rail 46. However, the length L3 from the rear end of the guide portion 44c to the front end of the anti-tip portion 44b is not particularly limited as long as it is longer than the plate thickness L4 of the claw portion 61.
[0055] In the embodiment described above, the front plate 53 and claws 60 of the display fixture 50 formed an inverted U-shaped claw portion 61 in a side view. However, the inverted U-shaped claw may also be fixed to the front plate. For example, a rear claw plate approximately horizontal to the front claw plate 60b is provided at the rear end of the upper claw plate 60a of the claw 60 to form a claw portion, and a structure for fixing to the front plate 53 is provided on either of the claw portions to attach the claw portion to the front end of the display fixture 50. In such a case, the same effect as in the embodiment described above can be obtained by making the length in the front-rear direction between the front claw plate and the rear claw plate the inner dimension of the claw portion.
[0056] Since the embodiments described above are for illustrative purposes only, various modifications, substitutions, additions, omissions, etc., can be made within the claims or their equivalents.
[0057] (Note) Based on the above description of embodiments, the following technologies are disclosed.
[0058] (Technical 1) A storage facility equipped with display shelves, wherein the display shelves comprise a shelf ornament provided at the front end of the display shelves and a display fixture placed on the display shelves, the shelf ornament comprises a fall prevention portion extending upward from the display shelves and engaging with a claw portion provided at the front end of the display fixture, and a guide portion provided in front of the fall prevention portion and extending upward from the display shelves, the length from the front end of the guide portion to the rear end of the fall prevention portion being longer than the inner dimensions of the claw portion, the storage facility. According to this design, when the claw portion is engaged with the guide portion, the bottom plate of the display fixture and the anti-tip portion interfere with each other, making it impossible to install the display fixture horizontally. This makes it easy for the user to recognize that the display fixture has been placed incorrectly. Therefore, incorrect placement of the display fixture can be suppressed. Furthermore, because the anti-tip part and the claw part engage with each other, the display fixture is less likely to shift position.
[0059] (Technology 2) The storage container according to Technology 1, wherein the length from the rear end of the guide portion to the front end of the anti-tipping portion is longer than the plate thickness of the claw portion. According to this design, the claw portion can be inserted between the guide portion and the anti-tipping portion, making it easier to fix the position of the display fixture.
[0060] (Technical 3) The storage unit according to Technical 1 or 2, wherein the guide portion is provided with a display body holding member on the front side of the guide portion for holding a display body for displaying product information, the claw portion is provided with a claw that engages between the anti-tip portion and the guide portion, and the length from the front end of the display body holding member at a position overlapping with the claw in a front view to the rear end of the anti-tip portion is longer than the inner dimension of the claw portion. According to this, since the claw portion of the display fixture does not interfere with the guide portion, there is no need to position the display holder member to avoid the claw portion, and the layout of the display can be improved. [Industrial applicability]
[0061] As described above, the storage facility according to the present invention can be used to prevent misalignment of display fixtures and to prevent incorrect installation of display fixtures. [Explanation of Symbols]
