[0008] <Summary> The first product display shelf according to one aspect of the embodiment includes a shelf board, a pair of left and right bracket members, and a width adjustment member for movably attaching the bracket members in the left-right direction, and at least one of the bracket members is supported by a shelf column via the width adjustment member. Thereby, the shelf board can be installed corresponding to changes in the installation interval between the left and right shelf columns. The second product display shelf according to another aspect of the embodiment is the first product display shelf, wherein the bracket member has an engagement piece that can be inserted into an engagement hole of the shelf column, the width adjustment member has an adjustment hole with an opening width larger than that of the engagement hole of the shelf column, and an engagement piece that engages with the engagement hole of the shelf column, and the engagement piece of the one bracket member engages with the adjustment hole so as to be movable in the left-right direction. Thereby, it is possible to easily attach one bracket member to the width adjustment member according to the installation interval.
[0009] The third product display shelf according to another aspect of the embodiment is the second product display shelf, wherein the width adjustment member has a first plate portion and a second plate portion bent in a bent shape via a bent portion, the adjustment hole is provided in a state continuous with the first plate portion and the bent portion, and an engaging piece of the width adjustment member is provided on the second plate portion. Thereby, for example, when manufacturing the width adjustment member by press working, the processing (bending) becomes easy and the manufacturing efficiency can be increased. Further, the engaging piece of the bracket member can be brought closer to the second plate portion side in the adjustment hole, and the width dimension of the adjustment hole can be utilized to the maximum extent. The fourth product display shelf according to another aspect of the embodiment is any one of the first to third product display shelves, wherein one bracket member is supported by the shelf support column via the width adjustment member, and the length of one bracket member in the front-rear direction is shorter than the length of the other bracket member in the front-rear direction. Thereby, even if the width dimension of the shelf board is adjusted, the rear end portion and the front end portion of the shelf board can be supported in parallel. That is, on the front end face of the shelf board, there is no shift in the left-right and front-rear directions, and the bookkeeping can be matched.
[0010] The fifth product display shelf according to another aspect of the embodiment is the fourth product display shelf, wherein the width adjustment member has a bent portion that bends in a direction orthogonal to the second plate portion on the second plate portion. Thereby, when the engaging piece of the width adjustment member is inserted into the engaging hole of the shelf support column, the bent portion abuts against the shelf support column, so that the shelf board can be supported in a stable state by receiving the pressing force from the shelf board side to the support column side and the sway in the left-right direction. The sixth product display shelf according to another aspect of the embodiment is the fourth or fifth product display shelf, wherein the width adjustment member has a third plate portion that bends in a direction orthogonal to the second plate portion from the end on the side opposite to the second plate portion in the first plate portion. Thereby, the mechanical characteristics of the width adjustment member can be improved. The furniture for product display according to one aspect of the embodiment includes a product display shelf and a shelf support column to which the product display shelf is attached, and the product display shelf is any one of the first to sixth product display shelves. Thereby, the shelf board can be installed corresponding to the change in the installation interval between the left and right shelf support columns.
[0011] <Embodiment> 1. Overall configuration A merchandising fixture, namely a showcase, as shown in Fig. 1, includes a plurality of shelf boards 1 arranged vertically, a pair of left and right bracket members 3A and 3B to which the shelf boards 1 are attached, a pair of shelf supports 5 to which the bracket members 3A and 3B can be attached, and a width adjustment member 7 for attaching at least one of the left and right bracket members 3A to the shelf support 5 so that its position can be adjusted in the left - right direction. Note that the bracket member 3B does not appear in the drawing. By providing the width adjustment member 7, even when the distance between the pair of bracket members 3A and 3B attached to the shelf board 1 cannot be changed, it can be attached to a plurality of types of shelf supports 5 with different distances between the pair of shelf supports 5. Note that the merchandise display shelf includes the shelf board 1, a pair of left and right bracket members 3A and 3B, and the width adjustment member 7. Therefore, it can be said that the merchandising fixture includes the merchandise display shelf and the shelf support 5. Hereinafter, each member will be described.
[0012] 2. Each Member (1) Shelf Board As shown in Fig. 1, the shelf board 1 has a shelf board portion 10 that extends left - right and front - rear, and as shown in Fig. 3, a shelf attachment member 12 that attaches both left and right ends of the shelf board portion 10 to the bracket members 3A and 3B. Here, the shelf board 1 is attached to the shelf support 5 so as to be slidable in the front - rear direction. Specifically, the shelf attachment member 12 includes a pair of attachment portions 14 and 16 that are slidable, and one of the attachment portions 14 is fixed to the end portion in the left - right direction of the shelf board portion 10. Specifically, one of the attachment portions 14 is supported so as to be movable forward with respect to the other attachment portion 16. Note that screws 18 (see Fig. 3) are used for fixing.
[0013] (2) Bracket Member As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the bracket members 3A and 3B have a bracket main body portion 30 that is attached to the end portion in the left - right direction of the shelf board 1, and a bracket attachment portion 31 for attaching to the shelf support 5. Thereby, the shelf board 1 is supported by the shelf support 5 via the bracket members 3A and 3B. The bracket members 3A and 3B are constituted by, for example, plate members (metal plate materials). The plate members here are flat and extend in the vertical and longitudinal directions. That is, the main surface of the plate member is orthogonal to the left-right direction. The attachment of the bracket members 3A and 3B to the shelf board 1 can use, for example, fixtures (such as screws and rivets), or welding can be used when the bracket members and the shelf board are made of metal. Here, as shown in FIG. 2, it is attached to the other attachment portion 16 using screws 32. The bracket main body portion 30 has screw through-holes.
[0014] The attachment of the bracket members 3A and 3B to the shelf support 5 can use, for example, fixtures or an engagement structure (engagement portion). Here, it is performed by the engagement structure. Thereby, the attachment and detachment of the bracket members 3A and 3B (shelf board 1) to and from the shelf support 5 can be easily performed. Here, the bracket attachment portion 31 is constituted by an engagement piece 33 as the engagement portion and engages with an engagement hole 51 that functions as the engagement portion of the shelf support 5. The engagement piece 33 extends rearward from the rear end of the bracket main body portion 30 and then extends downward, and an engagement notch portion 34 is formed at the lower part on the base side. The engagement piece 33 is inserted into the engagement hole 51 and the engagement notch portion 34 engages (fits) with the lower side portion 51a of the engagement hole 51. Thereby, each of the bracket members 3A and 3B is symmetric about a virtual line passing through the center in the thickness direction and extending parallel to the main surface (vertical direction), and can be attached to both left and right ends of the shelf board 1. One or more engaging pieces 33 are provided. Here, two or more engaging pieces 33 are provided, more specifically, three engaging pieces 33 are provided. Among the three engaging pieces 33, the upper two are provided so as to be engageable with two engaging holes 51 (see (b) of FIG. 4) adjacent to the upper and lower sides of the shelf support column 5. Among the three engaging pieces 33, the lower two engaging pieces 33 engage with two engaging holes 51 sandwiching one or more (here, two, see (b) of FIG. 4) engaging holes 51 of the shelf support column 5. That is, there is one or more (here, two) engaging holes 51 between the engaging hole 51 of the shelf support column 5 with which the second engaging piece 33 from the top engages and the engaging hole 51 of the shelf support column 5 with which the third engaging piece 33 from the top engages. Thereby, since the two engaging pieces 33 engage with the engaging holes 51 at intervals in the vertical direction, the shelf boards 1 can be attached to the shelf support columns 5 with the bracket members 3A and 3B in a stable state.
[0015] The length of one of the bracket members 3A in the front-rear direction is configured to be shorter than the length of the other bracket member 3B in the front-rear direction by the dimension of the width adjusting member 7 described later in the front-rear direction. Thereby, the distances (lengths) from the shelf support column 5 to the front ends in the pair of left and right bracket members 3A and 3B are the same on the left and right, and the design property can be enhanced. Also, if one of the bracket members 3A is not made shorter, one of the bracket members 3A will protrude forward of the other bracket member 3B, and there is a risk of collision with people or objects. However, by making one of the bracket members 3A shorter, such a situation can be prevented. Note that the engaging piece 33 of one of the bracket members 3A engages with the width adjusting member 7 described later, but can also engage with the shelf support column 5.
[0016] (3) Shelf support column The shelf support column 5 has a column portion 50 whose cross-section is, for example, rectangular, square, "L"-shaped, or "T"-shaped and extends in the vertical direction. Here, it is rectangular and long in the front-rear direction and is hollow (rectangular tubular). The shelf support column 5 has at least on the front surface of the column portion 50 a plurality of engagement holes 51 formed at intervals in the vertical direction. Here, the plurality of engagement holes 51 are provided at equal intervals in the vertical direction. The engagement pieces 33 of the bracket members 3A and 3B are inserted into and engaged with the engagement holes 51. Note that the opening width of the engagement holes 51 in the left-right direction corresponds to the thickness of the bracket members 3A and 3B in the left-right direction. The plurality of engagement holes 51 are located on a single virtual line extending in the vertical direction. The shelf support column 5 may have a plurality of engagement holes 51 formed in the vertical direction in a plurality of rows in the left-right direction. Here, the shelf support column 5 has a plurality of engagement holes 51 in two rows on the left and right. Thereby, it is possible to support two shelf boards 1 on the left and right by one shelf support column 5. Note that the interval in the left-right direction between two adjacent rows of engagement holes 51 in the left-right direction is an interval at which the engagement pieces 33 of the bracket members 3A and 3B can be inserted (engaged) without interfering with each other in the left-right direction for each of the left and right engagement holes 51.
[0017] (4) Width adjustment member The width adjustment member 7 has at least an adjustment hole 74 with an opening width larger than that of the engagement hole 51 of the shelf support column 5, and an attachment portion for the width adjustment member (hereinafter also referred to as an engagement piece 76) that is detachably attached to the shelf support column 5. The engagement piece 33 of one of the bracket members 3A is inserted into and engaged with the adjustment hole 74. The opening width of the adjustment hole 74 in the left-right direction is larger than the opening width of the engagement hole 51 of the shelf support column 5 in the left-right direction. That is, the opening width of the adjustment hole 74 is larger than the thickness of the engagement piece 33 of one of the bracket members 3A. For this reason, the engagement piece 33 of the bracket member 3A can be engaged with the adjustment hole 74 in a wide range in the left-right direction. Note that the engagement piece 33 of the other bracket member 3B is directly engaged with the engagement hole 51 of the other shelf support column 5 without passing through the width adjustment member 7. Thereby, rattling of the shelf board 1 in the left-right direction can be prevented. The attachment of the width adjustment member 7 to the shelf support 5 can utilize, for example, fixtures, engagement structures, etc. Here, an engagement structure (engagement portion) is used. Thereby, the attachment and detachment of the width adjustment member 7 to and from the shelf support 5 can be easily performed. Here, the width adjustment member 7 has an engagement piece 76 as an engagement portion and engages with an engagement hole 51 that functions as an engagement portion of the shelf support 5.
[0018] Hereinafter, the width adjustment member 7 will be specifically described. The width adjustment member 7 has a shape that is long in the vertical direction. The vertical length of the width adjustment member 7 is larger than the distance between the upper end and the lower end of the upper and lower engagement holes 51 that are separated by one or more in the vertical direction in the shelf support 5. Thereby, the width adjustment member 7 can be attached to the shelf support 5 in a stable state. The width adjustment member 7 has a first plate portion 70 and a second plate portion 71 and is bent via a bent portion 72. The main surface of the first plate portion 70 is orthogonal to the front-rear direction, and the main surface of the second plate portion 71 is orthogonal to the left-right direction. That is, the first plate portion 70 and the second plate portion 71 are bent at the bent portion 72 so as to be orthogonal. The width adjustment member 7 here has a third plate portion 73 that is bent in the thickness direction of the first plate portion 70 from the left-right end of the first plate portion 70 on the side opposite to the second plate portion 71. Note that the main surface of the third plate portion 73 is orthogonal to the left-right direction. That is, the first plate portion 70 and the third plate portion 73 are bent so as to be orthogonal.
[0019] The adjustment hole 74 is mainly provided in the first plate portion 70. Here, the adjustment hole 74 is provided in a state of being continuous with the first plate portion 70 and the bent portion 72. Thereby, the engagement piece 33 of one bracket member 3A and the second plate portion 71 can be brought close to each other, and the opening width of the adjustment hole 74 can be increased. Thereby, it is possible to suppress an increase in the left-right dimension of the width adjustment member 7. The adjustment holes 74 are provided in a number equal to or one less than the number of the engaging pieces 33 of the bracket member 3A. Here, the adjustment holes 74 are provided in a number one less than the number of the engaging pieces 33. More specifically, there are three engaging pieces 33 of the bracket member 3A, and the adjustment holes 74 are provided at positions corresponding to the second and third engaging pieces 33 from the top, and an adjustment notch 75 is provided at a position corresponding to the topmost engaging piece 33. Note that the notch width of the adjustment notch 75 in the left-right direction is configured to be the same as the opening width of the adjustment hole 74 in the left-right direction. Thereby, similarly to the adjustment hole 74, the engaging pieces 33 of the bracket member 3A can engage with the adjustment notch 75 within a wide range in the left-right direction. The topmost engaging piece 33 of the bracket member 3A has its engaging notch 34 engaged (fitted) with the lower portion 75a of the adjustment notch 75 of the width adjustment member 7. Note that the second and third engaging pieces 33 from the top in the bracket member 3A have their engaging notches 34 engaged (fitted) with the lower portion 74a of the adjustment hole 74.
[0020] The engaging piece 76 is provided on the second plate portion 71. Specifically, the engaging piece 76 extends rearward from the second plate portion 71 as it is and then extends downward, and has an engaging notch 77 at the lower part on the base side. The engaging piece 76 is inserted into the engaging hole 51 of the shelf support 5, and the engaging notch 77 of the engaging piece 76 is engaged (fitted) with the lower portion 51a of the engaging hole 51. One or more engaging pieces 76 are provided. Here, two or more, more specifically, three engaging pieces 76 are provided. That is, the same number of engaging pieces 76 as the engaging pieces 33 of the bracket members 3A and 3B are provided. Of the three engaging pieces 76, the upper two are provided so as to be engageable with two engaging holes 51 (see (b) of FIG. 4) adjacent to the upper and lower sides of the shelf support column 5. Of the three, the lower two engaging pieces 76 engage with two engaging holes 51 sandwiching one or more (here, two, see (b) of FIG. 4) engaging holes 51 above and below the shelf support column 5. That is, there is one or more (here, two) engaging holes 51 between the engaging hole 51 of the shelf support column 5 with which the second engaging piece 76 from the top engages and the engaging hole 51 of the shelf support column 5 with which the third engaging piece 76 from the top engages. Thereby, since the two engaging pieces 76 engage with the engaging holes 51 at intervals in the vertical direction, the width adjustment member 7 can be attached to the shelf support column 5 in a stable state. The engaging piece 76 of the width adjustment member 7 here has the same configuration as the engaging piece 33 of at least one of the bracket members 3A. That is, the positional relationship of the three engaging pieces 76 of the width adjustment member 7 is the same as the positional relationship of the three engaging pieces 33 of the bracket members 3A and 3B.
[0021] The width adjustment member 7 has bent portions 78 and 79 that bend in the left-right direction orthogonal to the second plate portion 71 from the rear end of the second plate portion 71. The bent portions 78 and 79 contact or are close to the front surface of the shelf support column 5 when the width adjustment member 7 is attached to the shelf support column 5. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the width adjustment member 7 from rattling with respect to the shelf support column 5 and to prevent it from rotating (oscillating) in the front-rear direction with the left-right direction as the rotation axis. At least one bent portion 78 and 79 is sufficient, and here, it bends in both directions in the left-right direction. Here, the third plate portion 73 is bent forward from the first plate portion 70. The third plate portion 73 has a function of reinforcing the width adjustment member 7.
[0022] 3. Usage example A case of attaching the bracket member 3A to two types of shelf support columns 5A and 5B having different intervals between the engaging holes 51 of a pair of shelf support columns 5 will be described. (1) Shelf support column 5A This will be described with reference to (A) of FIG. 5. The shelf support column 5A has an engagement hole 51 in the vertical direction. As shown in (a), the engagement piece 33 of the bracket member 3A is offset to the other side in the left-right direction (the side of the other bracket member 3B) with respect to the engagement hole 51 of the shelf support column 5A. For this reason, the engagement piece 33 of the bracket member 3A cannot be directly inserted into the engagement hole 51 of the shelf support column 5A. The engagement piece 76 of the width adjustment member 7 has a vertical interval and the like corresponding to the engagement hole 51 of the shelf support column 5A, and as shown in (a), can be engaged with the engagement hole 51 of the shelf support column 5. The adjustment hole 74 and the adjustment notch 75 of the width adjustment member 7 are configured such that the opening width in the left-right direction is larger than the engagement piece 33 of the bracket member 3A. For this reason, the engagement piece 33 of the bracket member 3A can be engaged with the adjustment hole 74 and the adjustment notch 75 of the width adjustment member 7. In this way, even when the bracket member 3A cannot be directly engaged with the shelf support column 5A, by using the width adjustment member 7 having the adjustment hole 74 and the adjustment notch 75, it can be attached to the shelf support column 5A. In the case of this example, the engagement piece 33 of the bracket member 3A is located on the side of the second plate portion 71 and the engagement piece 76 in the adjustment hole 74 and the adjustment notch 75.
[0023] (2) Shelf support column 5B This will be described with reference to (B) of FIG. 5. The shelf support column 5B has an engagement hole 51 in the vertical direction. As shown in (a), the engagement piece 33 of the bracket member 3A is offset to the other side in the left-right direction (the side of the other bracket member 3B) with respect to the engagement hole 51 of the shelf support column 5B. For this reason, the engagement piece 33 of the bracket member 3A cannot be directly inserted into the engagement hole 51 of the shelf support column 5B. The engagement piece 76 of the width adjustment member 7 has a vertical interval and the like corresponding to the engagement hole 51 of the shelf support column 5B, and as shown in (a), can be engaged with the engagement hole 51 of the shelf support column 5. The adjustment hole 74 and the adjustment notch 75 of the width adjustment member 7 are configured such that the opening width in the left-right direction is larger than the engagement piece 33 of the bracket member 3A. For this reason, the engagement piece 33 of the bracket member 3A can be engaged with the adjustment hole 74 and the adjustment notch 75 of the width adjustment member 7. Thus, even when the bracket member 3A cannot be directly engaged with the shelf support 5B, it can be attached to the shelf support 5B by using the width adjustment member 7 having the adjustment holes 74 and the adjustment cutouts 75. In the case of this example, the engaging piece 33 of the bracket member 3A is located on the side of the third plate portion 73 in the adjustment holes 74 and the adjustment cutouts 75.
[0024] (3) Summary As described above, even when the distance between the pair of bracket members 3A and 3B is different from the distance between the pair of shelf supports 5, the shelf board 1 can be attached to a plurality of types of shelf supports 5 by using the width adjustment member 7 having the adjustment holes 74 and the adjustment cutouts 75. In particular, by setting the opening widths of the adjustment holes 74 and the adjustment cutouts 75 so as to correspond to the maximum and minimum distances between the engaging holes 51 of the pair of shelf supports 5 among the shelf supports being used, it is possible to accommodate many types of shelf supports 5 and enhance versatility. Note that the engaging holes 51 of the shelf support 5 are substantially constant, and the engaging piece 76 is configured to be engageable with the engaging holes 51 of many types of shelf supports 5.
[0025] The embodiments have been described above, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. For example, the following modification examples may be applicable. Also, combinations of an embodiment, modification examples, and modification examples may be applicable. Also, examples not described in the embodiments or modification examples, as well as design changes within the scope not departing from the gist, are included in the present invention.
[0026] <Modification Example> 1. Shelf Board The shelf board 1 was attached to the pair of bracket members 3A and 3B so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction, but it may be fixed to the pair of bracket members so as not to be slidable, or may be detachably attached.
[0027] 2. Bracket Member (1) The bracket members 3A and 3B have the bracket main body 30 and the engaging piece 33 in the same plane. However, for example, the engaging piece 33 may be provided so as to extend rearward in a stepped manner from the bracket main body 30. (2) The bracket members 3A and 3B had three engaging pieces 33, but the number may be other than three. For example, one engaging piece 33 may be provided, and a contact portion that contacts the front surface of the shelf support column 5 or the front surface of the first plate portion 70 of the width adjustment member 7 may be further provided. That is, any structure may be used as long as the bracket members 3A and 3B can be detachably attached to the shelf support column 5. (3) The engaging piece 33 had a shape that extends downward after extending rearward (downward "L" shape). However, for example, other shapes such as a shape that extends upward after extending rearward (upward "L" shape) may be used. (4) The engaging piece 33 extended in the vertical direction. However, for example, it may extend in the horizontal direction. That is, after the engaging piece extends in a plate shape in the horizontal and longitudinal directions, it may extend downward or upward. (5) The bracket main body 30 was plate-shaped. However, for example, it may be formed by forming a channel material with a cross-sectional shape of "C" or "U" into an "L" shape. In this case, it can be implemented by providing a bracket attachment portion on the long side and an engaging piece on the short side, respectively.
[0028] 3. Width adjustment member (1) Although the width adjustment member 7 has been described for one of the bracket members 3A, it may be used for the other bracket member 3B. In this case, the width adjustment member can be implemented by configuring the width adjustment member 7 described in the embodiment to be symmetric about a virtual plane orthogonal to the left-right direction. Also, when both bracket members 3A and 3B are attached to the shelf support column 5 using the width adjustment member 7, the lengths of the bracket members 3A and 3B in the front-rear direction may be the same. (2) Adjustment notch The width adjustment member 7 had an adjustment notch 75 on the upper side, but an adjustment hole 74 may be provided instead of the adjustment notch 75. However, providing the adjustment notch 75 can make the dimension in the vertical direction smaller than providing the adjustment hole 74. Note that the adjustment notch 75 can be utilized when the engaging notch 34 of the engaging piece 33 of the bracket member 3A engages with the adjustment hole 74 or the adjustment notch 75 of the width adjustment member 7 from above.
[0029] (3) Engaging piece The number and structure of the engaging pieces 76 were the same as those of the engaging pieces 33 of the bracket members 3A and 3B, but it is only necessary that the width adjustment member 7 can engage with the engaging hole 51 of the shelf support 5, and they may be different from the number and structure of the engaging pieces 33 of the bracket members 3A and 3B. The positional relationship of the plurality of (three in the embodiment) engaging pieces 76 was the same as that of the plurality of (three in the embodiment) engaging pieces 33 of the bracket members 3A and 3B, but it is only necessary that the width adjustment member 7 can engage with the engaging hole 51 of the shelf support 5, and they may be different from the positional relationship of the engaging pieces 33 of the bracket members 3A and 3B. (4) Third plate portion The third plate portion 73 is bent forward, but it may be bent backward. Note that even if it is bent backward, a reinforcing effect can be obtained. Also, the third plate portion 73 is continuously bent in the same side (for example, the front side) in the vertical direction, but for example, it may have a plurality of bent portions in the vertical direction and be alternately bent back and forth in the vertical direction, or be irregularly bent back and forth. (5) Bent portion The bent portions 78 and 79 are provided between the second engaging piece 76 from the top and the third engaging piece 76 from the top, but for example, they may be provided below the third engaging piece 76. Also, if there is a space to provide a bent portion between the first and second engaging pieces from the top, both or one of the bent portions 78 and 79 may be provided at that position. The bent portions 78 and 79 are configured such that the bent portions are in surface contact with or face the front surface of the shelf support 5. However, the bent portions may be in line contact with or face each other. Here, the surface means that the vertical direction of the bent portions 78 and 79 is longer than one time the thickness of the bent portion, and the line means that it is one time or less the thickness.
