The connecting member 15 may be bent along a vertical line so that the width in the depth direction is equal to the plate thickness of the connecting member 15, and this may be engaged with a vertically elongated slot 34 formed in the support column 10.

Although the illustrated embodiment has a single shelf structure in which a top plate 11 and a bottom plate 14 are connected between a pair of left and right columns, a shelf device having a plurality of series structures can also be used. In the case of a multiple series configuration, the connecting member 15 may be latched using the remaining half of the support column 10, and the top plate 11 and the bottom plate 14 may be connected under the interposition of the connecting member 15.

(Effects of the invention) According to the invention, the engaging piece of the connecting member is fitted into the column, the corners of the top plate and the bottom plate are applied to the connecting member, and the auxiliary member is applied, and finally the tightening member is Since it is not necessary to bolt or weld the connecting member to the support and the top plate and bottom plate to the connecting member, the shelf device can be assembled easily and quickly. It is also easy to disassemble if necessary. In addition, instead of directly tightening the top plate and bottom plate to the connecting member, they are tightened using an auxiliary member, and in addition, the piece of the connecting member in the shelf depth direction is engaged with the column by a separation prevention piece, and the auxiliary member is used to tighten it. Since the piece in the depth direction of the member penetrates the top plate and the bottom plate and engages with the piece in the depth direction of the connecting member, the strength in the depth direction of the top plate and bottom plate can be sufficiently increased, making it possible to prevent heavy objects. Even when loaded, the top and bottom plates can withstand the load without falling off. In addition, since the pillars, connecting members, top plate, bottom plate, and auxiliary members can be transported in a disassembled state, transportation efficiency is improved.
