Conventional technology When displaying fresh fish and shellfish at a grocery store or restaurant, the surface of the display shelf is covered with ice cubes crushed to the size of pebbles, and the food is placed on top of that. The sight of the display is
It is often seen here. This was originally done to keep the food fresh by cooling it, but recently it has been used not only for that reason, but also to provide a refreshing feeling to the viewer and stimulate the desire to purchase. It is often done. For example, a case equipped with a refrigeration function is further covered with the above-mentioned crushed ice, and foods are displayed on top of it. However, the crushed ice in this case can be said to be merely intended for a design effect, and therefore so-called pseudo-broken ice panels are increasingly being used for reasons such as cost savings and ease of maintenance after use. There is. In addition, even when using crushed ice for its original purpose, it is used in the sense of saving the amount of crushed ice, or for the purpose of giving the appearance that a large amount of crushed ice is being used.

The molded member 2 has a pseudo-crushed ice surface 4 formed on its surface by sheet-molding a transparent resin sheet, for example, hot, using a mold having a pseudo-crushed ice surface shape. As the transparent resin, a highly transparent material such as acrylic resin (MMA) or polystyrene (PS) is used. The thickness of the transparent resin sheet is, for example, 1 to 3 mm.
range is used. The above range was set in consideration of the fact that if it falls below the above range, the strength of the molded member 2 may be impaired, and if it exceeds the above range, the weight of the molded member 2 becomes large. be. However, it is not limited to the above range. Further, as sheet forming, various forming methods used for forming a sheet material into a predetermined shape, such as vacuum forming and pressure forming, which are commonly known, can be mentioned.

The reflective member 3 is made of a plate-shaped body and has a mirror surface 5 as a reflective surface on one surface. Examples of such a reflecting member 3 include a stainless steel mirror, a plastic mirror, and a glass mirror.
