Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a refrigerated showcase for so-called fresh foods such as meat, vegetables, and fruits, and in particular, to a refrigerated showcase for so-called fresh foods such as meat, vegetables, and fruits. It can be freely pulled down, allowing it to be used not only as a closed case but also as an open case for self-service.

Closed-type refrigerated showcases have the advantage of being hygienic because they have a closed front, but they also have the disadvantage that they cannot be used for self-service at mass retailers.

In addition, although the open type is suitable for self-service because it is easy to see and take out products, it also releases a large amount of cold air from inside the case. Each of them has its advantages and disadvantages, such as the problem of wasting cooling energy to maintain a low-temperature atmosphere inside. Therefore, a refrigerated showcase as shown in FIG. 3 has been conventionally known.

This is done by forming a door storage part a and an opening in the upper part of the storage room, and also installing an arc-shaped guide rail c on the inner surface from the door storage part a to the opening, and sliding the opening. There is one that can be closed with a movable glass door d.
However, a storage room with a door storage part a and an opening formed in the upper part of the storage room occupies a large space on the store floor, and has the disadvantage that many items cannot be displayed because the opening area is small. It was hot. In view of these circumstances, the present invention has been made with the aim of providing a refrigerated showcase that is fully equipped with functions that are easy to use for self-service while taking advantage of the characteristics of a closed type. will be explained based on examples and with drawings. That is, in the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a case body formed in a box shape, and guide rails 2, 2 curved forward in an arc shape are provided on both left and right edges of the front surface, and an opening 3 is provided in the road half of the front surface. The lower half is closed off with a wainscot 4.

Reference numeral 5 designates a glass gate door with bent arms in an arcuate shape capable of closing the opening 3 in the road half, and is accommodated on the back side of the wainscot 4 by sliding its left and right edges on the guide rails 2, 2. It is attached to the front of the case body 1 in such a way that it can be easily attached to the case body 1.

Further, 6 is a lobe tied to the glass door 5, and the lobe 6 is wound around a pulley 7 provided at each corner on the inner surface side of the case body 1, and its both ends are tied to both sides of the glass door 5. They are fixed to the upper and lower ends of the edge, respectively.

9 is a weight attached to the back side of the case body 1 of the lobe 6, and if the gravity of the weight 9 is approximately balanced with the weight of the glass door 5, the glass door 5 is stopped in the desired open state. It can be opened and closed easily.

The inside of the case body 1 is divided into upper and lower parts by a partition plate 10, with the upper half serving as a refrigerating room and the approximately lower half containing a refrigerator 11.
is installed, and the refrigerator compartment is maintained at a predetermined low temperature state by the refrigerator 11.

In addition, the refrigerator compartment is provided with shelf boards 13 supported by pillars 12 to display products, and furthermore, an opening is provided on the back side of the case body 1 and a hinged glass door 1 is provided on the back side.
I am wearing 4.

Further, a glass plate 15 is fitted on the side surface of the case body 1. 16 is a caster.

As described above with reference to the embodiments, the present invention provides guide rails curved forward in an arc shape on both sides of the front side of the case body, the road portion of the front surface is open, and the lower half is provided with a wainscot. A glass door curved into an arcuate surface capable of closing the opening in the half-way portion by sliding the glass door on both sides of the guide rail allows the glass door to be housed on the back side of the wainscot. There are no disadvantages such as double doors that obstruct the passage, or sliding doors that can only open half of the opening, and the entire width of the front of the showcase can be opened, making it extremely easy to take out products. It's easy.

In addition, it does not take up as much space as a conventional showcase with a door compartment and an opening placed side by side on the top, allowing more products to be displayed in a smaller footprint, allowing for more effective use of the store floor. Furthermore, a lobe was tied to the glass door, and the lobe was wrapped around a pulley provided at the inner corner of the case body, and a weight was attached to the lobe, which approximately balanced the weight of the glass door, so that the glass door could be operated. It has many advantages, such as being light and easy to open and close.
