Also, the end portion 47 in the width direction of the wall portion 46 is located inside the rail portion 44 on the placement surface 33 of the substrate 31. The end portion 47 may extend to the position of the rail portion 44 on the placement surface 33 of the substrate 31.

[0037] Referring to FIGS. 16 to 24, the base 50 will be described. In the following description, the base is described as having an inclined portion and having an automatic forward delivery function of the product in cooperation with the rail portion of the product partition plate, but the base is not limited to having an inclined portion. That is, in the base 50 of the product display unit 1 according to the present embodiment, the configuration related to the automatic forward delivery of the product is arbitrary. Further, a product display unit 1 including product partition plates 10 and 30 whose arrangement surfaces 13 and 33 of the substrate 11 and 31 are horizontal planes, and a base 50 having an inclined portion and to which the product partition plates 10 and 30 are detachably attached will be described, but other configurations are also possible. For example, a product display unit may be provided that includes a product partition plate having an inclined surface as the arrangement surface of the substrate and having the configuration of the present embodiment, and a base having a horizontal plane to which the product partition plate is detachably attached and having the configuration of the present embodiment. Alternatively, the base 50 can be inclined by arranging the base 50 on an inclined surface (not shown), and the product partition plates 10 and 30 attached thereto can be inclined.

[0038] FIGS. 16 to 27 are views showing an example of the base 50. A product partition plate 2 (the first product partition plate 10 and the second product partition plate 30) is detachably attached to the base 50.

[0039] The base 50 includes a front wall portion 51 located in the front in the longitudinal direction, a rear wall portion 52 located in the rear in the longitudinal direction, and a central base body portion 53 located between the front wall portion 51 and the rear wall portion 52.

The number of grooves 57 is formed, for example, over the entire width of the base 50. The first base engaging portion 56 has a shape that substantially conforms to the first partition plate engaging portions 15 and 35. That is, the convex portions 16 and 36 of the first partition plate engaging portions 15 and 35 have a shape that substantially conforms to the grooves 57 of the first base engaging portion 56. The first base engaging portion 56 can engage with the first partition plate engaging portions 15 and 35 of the product partition plate 2. The first base engaging portion 56 functions as a guide when attaching the product partition plate 2 to the base 50, and when the convex portions 16 and 36 of the first partition plate engaging portions 15 and 35 engage with the grooves 57 of the first base engaging portion 56, the product partition plate 2 is positioned with respect to the base 50 in the longitudinal direction and the width direction. The first base engaging portion 56 constitutes a positioning mechanism together with the first partition plate engaging portions 15 and 35.

[0041] The base main body 53 is formed on the upper surfaces (surfaces) at the front and rear in the longitudinal direction and has a second base engaging portion 58 extending in the width direction. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 16, 17, and 20, the second base engaging portion 58 is a groove 59 extending in the width direction and recessed downward in the height direction. The groove 59 is formed, for example, over the entire width of the base 50. The second base engaging portion 58 has a shape that substantially conforms to the second partition plate engaging portions 17, 37. That is, the convex portions 18, 38 of the second partition plate engaging portions 17, 37 have a shape that substantially conforms to the groove 59 of the second base engaging portion 58. The second base engaging portion 58 can engage with the second partition plate engaging portions 17, 37 of the product partition plate 2. When the convex portions 18, 38 of the second partition plate engaging portions 17, 37 fit into the groove 59 of the second base engaging portion 58, the product partition plate 2 is fixed in the longitudinal direction with respect to the base 50. Note that the second base engaging portion 58 is not limited to a groove extending over the entire width, and any shape that can engage with the convex portions 18, 38 of the second partition plate engaging portions 17, 37 is acceptable. Instead of the groove 59, a through hole that can engage with the convex portions 18, 38 of the second partition plate engaging portions 17, 37 may be used as the second engaging portion 58. Also, the second base engaging portion 58 may be a convex portion, in which case the second partition plate engaging portions 17, 37 are grooves or through holes.

[0042] The base main body 53 is formed on the upper surfaces (surfaces) at the front and rear in the longitudinal direction and has a base locking portion 61 extending in the width direction.

The locking groove 63 is a groove communicating with a recess 64 extending in the width direction and the longitudinal direction on the surface of the base main body 53, and the second locking pieces 22, 42 of the partition plate locking portions 19, 39 can be arranged in the locking groove 63. Also, the protruding end portion 62 can abut against the first locking pieces 21, 41 of the partition plate locking portions 19, 39. The base locking portion 61 constitutes a locking mechanism together with the partition plate locking portions 19, 39 of the product partition plate 2.

[0043] As shown in FIGS. 16, 17, and 21 to 23, a first connecting portion 66 is provided on one side portion 65 of the base 50. Further, as shown in FIGS. 18, 19, 21, 22, and 25, a second connecting portion 68 is provided on the other side portion 67 of the base 50. The first connecting portion 66 can be a protrusion or a groove, and here it is an L-shaped hook portion 69. The second connecting portion 68 can be a groove or a protrusion corresponding to the first connecting portion, and here it is a groove portion 71 corresponding to the L-shaped hook portion 69. The first connecting portion 66 and the second connecting portion 68 are shaped such that they can engage with each other. It is preferable to provide a plurality of the first connecting portions 66 and the second connecting portions 68.

[0044] The shape of the back surface of the base 50 shown in FIGS. 18 and 19 is an example, and the shape of the back surface of the base is not limited to this.

[0045] FIGS. 26 to 32 are diagrams showing an example of the merchandise display unit 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Six first merchandise partition plates 10 are arranged at the center of the base 50, and second merchandise partition plates 30 are respectively arranged at both ends of the base 50. By assembling a total of eight merchandise partition plates 2 with the base 50, seven rows of merchandise display portions 3 extending in the longitudinal direction are formed. The number of the first merchandise partition plates 10 and the number of the merchandise display portions 3 formed thereby are examples and are not limited thereto.

[0046] The merchandise partition plate 2 is attached with its position aligned in the longitudinal and width directions by fitting the first engaging portions 15 and 35 of the partition plate on the back surface of the merchandise partition plate 2 into the first engaging portion 56 of the base 50 on the surface of the base 50. Since a groove extending in the longitudinal direction is engraved as the first engaging portion 56 of the base, by engaging the first engaging portions 15 and 35 of the partition plate with the first engaging portion 56 of the base, the merchandise partition plate 2 is arranged parallel to the base 50 in the longitudinal direction. The first engaging portions 15 and 35 of the partition plate and the first engaging portion 56 of the base function as guides and are attached straight with respect to the longitudinal direction. Further, since a large number of grooves 57 extending in the longitudinal direction are engraved in the base main body portion 53, the widthwise interval between the merchandise partition plates is appropriately set by engaging the first engaging portions 15 and 35 of the partition plate with a desired first engaging portion 56 of the base.

[0047] Referring to FIGS. 31 and 32, the locking mechanism between the product partition plate 2 and the base 50 will be described. In FIGS. 31 and 32, the locking mechanism between the second product partition plate 30 and the base 50 is illustrated. Since the locking mechanism between the first product partition plate 10 and the base 50 is the same, in the following description, both the first product partition plate 10 and the second product partition plate 30 will be described with reference numerals.

[0048] When the partition plate first engaging portions 15, 35 on the back surfaces 14, 34 of the product partition plate 2 are engaged with the base first engaging portion 56 on the surface of the base 50, as shown in FIG. 31, the first locking pieces 21, 41 and the second locking pieces 22, 42 of the partition plate locking portions 19, 39 of the product partition plate 2 are disposed in the recess 64 of the base 50. At this time, the partition plate locking portions 19, 39 and the base locking portion 61 are not locked.

[0049] From the state shown in FIG. 31, when the product partition plate 2 is slid forward in the longitudinal direction with respect to the base 50, as shown in FIG. 32, the second locking pieces 22, 42 of the partition plate locking portions 19, 39 are disposed in the locking groove 63 of the base locking portion 61, and the first locking pieces 21, 41 of the partition plate locking portions 19, 39 abut against the protruding end portion 62 on the upper surface (surface) of the base. Thereby, the partition plate locking portions 19, 39 are locked to the base locking portion 61, the product partition plate 2 is locked with respect to the base 50, and the product partition plate 2 is fixed with respect to the base 50. Since the partition plate locking portions 19, 39 and the base locking portion 61 are provided at the front and rear in the longitudinal direction, respectively, the product partition plate 2 and the base 50 are locked at two positions in the front and rear in the longitudinal direction. Further, by sliding the product partition plate 2 backward in the longitudinal direction with respect to the base 50, the partition plate locking portions 19, 39 are disposed in the recess 64 of the base 50, and the locking between the product partition plate 2 and the base 50 is released.

[0050] In the locked state, the partition plate second engaging portions 17 and 37 extending in the width direction are engaged with the base second engaging portion 58 extending in the width direction on the surface of the base 50 at the back surfaces 14 and 34 of the product partition plate 2.
