Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an open showcase used in a food department such as a supermarket, a convenience store, and a department store, and particularly a window glass mounting structure suitable for attaching a windshield to an open showcase used to display and sell refrigerated food and fresh food. About.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In this type of windshield glass mounting structure, a notch that opens to the front is provided on the side plate of the case body, a trim is attached to the peripheral edge, and the windshield is fitted from the open side. Japanese Patent Application No. 9-49169 describes that the edge portion is covered by a holding rod connected to a trim.
[0003]
However, in this case, the windshield glass that is easily hit by a shopping cart, a shopping basket, a display stocker, etc. is only covered by the holding rod, so that the windshield glass may be damaged without being completely protected. Therefore, the problem can be solved by making the holding rod large and strong, but this will impair the appearance of the showcase.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
[0005]
The present invention solves the problems seen in the windshield glass mounting structure in the above-described open showcase, does not impair the appearance of the open showcase, the windshield glass is reliably protected, and the mounting operation is simple, An object of the present invention is to provide a window glass mounting structure such as a windshield glass in an open showcase.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
According to the present invention, the above problem is solved as follows.
(1) A window glass mounting structure in an open showcase having an open front surface, and the left and right side plates of the case body are substantially similar to the window glass, and at least one dimension of the window glass has a corresponding direction. as well as bored glazing mounting opening having a larger dimension slightly larger than the dimensions of, and forming the opening in a trapezoidal, a window glass, the bottom side of the longer dimension of the upper and lower sides of the trapezoid definitive in the opening Then, the gap formed between the bottom sides of both is closed with a spacer.
[0007]
(2) In the above item (1) , glass restrainers are attached to the inside and outside of the edge where the spacer is located, of the peripheral edge of the window glass.
[0008]
(3) In the above item (1) , after a trim having a concave cross section is attached to the peripheral edge of the window glass attachment opening, the window glass is fitted into the opening.
[0009]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an embodiment of a window glass mounting structure in an open showcase of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0010]
In the refrigerated showcase, which is an example of an open showcase, the left and right side plates (2) of the case body (1) have a space between the inner plate (2a) and the outer plate (2b) as shown in FIG. This space is filled with a foaming agent (3) to form a heat insulating structure, and the side plate (2) is provided with a window glass mounting opening (4).
[0011]
In order to allow the windshield glass (5) to be fitted from the outside, the opening (4) has a trapezoidal shape in which the rear width is gradually narrower from the front, and a trim (6 ) Is installed.
[0012]
Further, the shape of the opening (4) is opposite to the above, a trapezoid whose front width is narrower than the rear, or a trapezoid whose lower width is narrower than the upper side, or vice versa. It is good also as the trapezoid etc. which becomes narrow.
[0013]
As shown in FIG. 4, the trim (6) attached to the peripheral surface of the opening (4) is formed in a concave shape, preferably in a valley shape, and when the windshield (5) hits, the trim is naturally centered by the slope. I try to bring it to the department.
[0014]
Since the windshield (5) is fitted into the opening (4) from the outside, as shown in FIG. 3 (a), the windshield (5) is substantially similar to the opening (4) and is formed slightly smaller than this. When the trapezoidal upper and lower sides of the trapezoid are fitted into the opening (4) from the long bottom side and moved to the short upper side, the windshield (5) adheres to the upper side of the trapezoid. A gap (7) is generated on the bottom side.
[0015]
The gap (7) generated between the windshield glass (5) and the window glass mounting opening (4) due to the movement of the windshield glass (5) is as shown in FIG. A spacer (8) having elasticity is inserted and closed, and the front edge of the windshield (5) is supported by the spacer (8).
[0016]
As shown in FIG. 4, glass restraints (10) attached to the side plate (2) by hop rivets (9) or the like on the inside and outside of the windshield glass (5) supported by the spacer (8). ) To stabilize the windshield (5) and the spacer (8).
[0017]
As shown in FIG. 2, the case body (1) deflects the cool air from the upper front duct (11) having a cool air outlet and the air curtain to the rear in order to form an air curtain between the upper and lower sides of the opening front surface. A lower front duct (12) is attached, and the lower front duct (12) is moved up and down to put in and out a display cart (not shown). For this purpose, an elevating guide (13) for guiding elevating of the lower front duct (12) is attached to a portion of the side plate (2) ahead of the window glass attaching opening (4).
[0018]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, the following effects can be achieved.
(a) According to the invention described in claim 1, since the side plate and the windshield have a sense of unity and the appearance is good and the front edge of the windshield is protected by the side plate, The windshield is reliably protected.
Moreover, the raising / lowering guide for raising / lowering a lower front duct can be attached to a side plate.
[0019]
Furthermore, it is possible to easily and reliably attach the windshield from the outside to the window glass attachment opening surrounded by the four sides of the side plate.
[0020]
In addition, the windshield glass can be stabilized by the spacer, and the impact applied to the side plate can be absorbed by the spacer to enhance the protective effect of the windshield glass.
[0021]
(b) According to the invention described in claim 2, the front edge of the windshield which is unstable inward and outward and the spacer can be stabilized in a fixed position, and the surroundings of the window can be made beautiful.
[0022]
(c) According to the invention described in claim 3, the position of the windshield glass is stabilized, and particularly when the cross-sectional shape of the trim is a valley shape, the windshield glass is moved to the center of the trim by the valley-shaped slope. The windshield can be easily attached to the center position of the preferred side plate thickness.
