In a shelf apparatus for a showcase, which is provided with a shelf support for supporting a shelf plate on which commodities are placed so as to be slidable in a
depth direction, the shelf apparatus is constructed so that the shelf support is provided with a
locking plate extending in a width direction of the shelf plate, and the shelf plate is provided with a
hooking member which is formed with a steel rod member which extends in the
depth direction and whose rear portion further extends along the
locking plate on a back surface side of the shelf plate, and also which enables the rear portion to be locked to and unlocked from the
locking plate by being swayed vertically. When the shelf plate is held on the shelf supports, the rear portion of the
hooking member is locked to the locking plate. By doing this, the shelf plate does not slide forward. When the shelf plate is pulled out forward, the
hooking member is unlocked from the locking plate by being swayed vertically. By doing this, the shelf plate can be pulled out forward.
