In addition, the opening / closing operation of the Senny's Guard can be easily performed. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below in more detail with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional side view showing an embodiment of an open showcase with a sniffs guard according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional side view showing a sniss guard mounting portion in an enlarged manner. First, as shown in FIG. 1, an open showcase 11 shown in this embodiment is provided with an opening 14 for taking out a product on a front surface of a case body 13 supported by a support base 12. A refrigerator 15 is housed inside the refrigerator 12. A duct 18 accommodating a cooler 16 and a blower fan 17 is provided between the support base 12 and the case body 13 and at the back of the case body 13, and is provided at a lower portion of the front of the case body 13. The cool air is sucked through the suction port 19, cooled to a predetermined temperature by the cooler 16, and blown out from the blowout port 20 provided in the rear middle section toward the suction port 19, thereby being placed on the product display unit 21. It is formed to cool products (not shown) such as side dishes and salads. The top plate 22 of the case body 13 is provided with a fluorescent lamp 23 for illumination on a lower surface thereof.
At the front end of the top plate, a sneakers guard 24 is provided.
As shown in FIG. 2, the sun guards 24 are rotatably attached to the front end of the top plate via hinges 25, and the front edges are positioned obliquely downward as indicated by solid lines in FIG. It is formed so that the front edge part shown by the imaginary line can rotate from the closed position to the open position where the front edge part is located diagonally upward. A pivotable arm 26 is provided between the lower position of the hinge 25 and the back of the sneakers guard 24 so as to be extendable and contractable and lockable in the extended position. 26 secures the sneath guard 24 at the open position. As the structure of the rotating arm 26, any structure can be used as long as the Sneads guard 24 can be fixed at the open position. A manual arm that locks and secures the Senny's guard 24 may be used, or an arm that is automatically locked by opening the Senny's guard 24 may be used.
In addition, the number and location of the rotating arms can be arbitrarily set according to the required strength. The material of the rotating arm 26 is preferably made of stainless steel because of its excellent corrosion resistance and chemical resistance. As described above, by forming the sundise guard 24 provided at the front end of the top plate portion 22 so as to be openable and closable, it is possible to display a product in the case main body 13, or to display the product inside the case main body 13 or the sunny guard 24.
