In either case where the price rail 25 is fitted into the fitting groove 38 or the second fitting groove 39, the front wall 14 prevents the price rail 25 from moving forward, and the price rail 25 from moving backward is blocked by the front wall 14. This is prevented by the guard 52 inserted between the wall 14 and the front wall 26 and acting as a spacer, and as a result, even if an impact is applied from the front to the upper part of the guard 52, the price rail 25
The guard 52 can be prevented from detaching, and the fluorescent lamp 22 can be
The reflective surfaces 45, 59, 50 of the rear wall 28 of the price rail 25, which are opposite to the price rail 25, reflect the light of the fluorescent lamp 22 downward or diagonally forward and downward even when the installation angle of the price rail 25 is changed. 12 The lighting effect for the products located in the front row among the products placed below becomes better.

(g) Effects of the invention According to the present invention described above, the following effects are produced.

By selecting both the first and second fitting grooves and fitting the flanges, the mounting angle of the price rail to the shelf board can be set in two ways, allowing the price rail to be set to suit the height and mounting angle of the shelf board. In either case, when the rail is installed and the flange is fitted into the first fitting groove or the second fitting groove, the movement of the price rail in the forward direction is blocked by the front wall, and the rear of the price rail is blocked. Movement in this direction is prevented by the guard that is inserted between the front walls and acts as a spacer, and as a result, even if an impact is applied to the upper part of the guard from the front, the price rail and the guard will not move. This will help prevent withdrawal.

The reflective surface of the rear wall of the price rail facing the fluorescent lamp 22 reflects the light from the fluorescent body downward or diagonally forward and downward even if the mounting angle of the price rail changes, so it is placed below the shelf board. The lighting effect for the products located in the front row of products is improved.
