It also acts as a reinforcing member to improve

(F) Embodiment Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings. In addition, the same reference numerals in FIGS. 1 to 8 are the same.

Reference numeral 1 shown in FIG. 1 is a vertical show case, which has a transparent door 30 with a handle 30A on one side that can be opened and closed, and a storage section 2 with transparent walls 31 on the other three sides, and a storage section 2 below this storage section. It is composed of a mechanical section 3 that houses refrigeration equipment such as a compressor P and a condenser (not shown). An evaporator 4 that constitutes a refrigeration cycle together with a compressor P and the like is disposed in the upper part of the storage section 2, and pedestals 5, 5 are provided on the bottom surface of the mechanical section 3. Further, 6 is a top insulation material whose outer surface is covered with a top plate 7, 8 is a bottom insulation material provided between the storage section 2 and the machine section 3, and the upper surface of this bottom insulation material is covered with a bottom plate 9. ing. Incidentally, the upper edge of each transparent wall 31 is inserted into a groove 32 formed by the top plate 7 and the stepped portion of the ceiling insulation material 6.

Further, reference numeral 10 is a bottom cardboard with an opening on the top surface, and bottom cushioning members 11, 11 formed of styrene foam are provided inside.
A mounting surface 11A is formed on the outside of the first show case. Note that the base legs 5 are escaped by the step portion 12. Reference numerals 13 and 14 are cylindrical legs and a plate-shaped mounting member that constitute a mounting device 15 for the show case after unpacking. The size of one side of the leg 13 is larger than the size of one side of the case 1 so that a portion of the leg 13 can be accommodated. This leg 13 is placed on the bottom cushioning members 11, 11. The legs 13 are formed by bending or welding together metal rods, and are coated with polyethylene to prevent damage to the main body of the case 1 during packing or unpacking. U-shaped members 16, 16 and U-shaped member 1
Support rods 17, 1 connecting the individual upper ends of 6, 16
7, four support rods 18 connecting the upper and lower ends of each U-shaped member 16, 16, and each U-shaped member 16, 16.
It is composed of four support rods 19 extending diagonally between opposite sides of the character-shaped members 16, 16. Here, as shown in FIG. 2, the support rods 18, 18 corresponding to the transparent door 30 and the diagonally extending support rod 19 are both bent outward from the connection part with the U-shaped member 16, and The distance from the main body is wider than the distance between the legs 13 and the transparent walls 31 on three sides of the main body. Furthermore, top cushioning members 20, 20 made of styrene foam, etc., are provided on two opposite sides of the top plate 7, and furthermore, a mounting device 15 is mounted on the upper surface of the top cushioning members 20, 20 together with the rear unpacking legs 13. The constituent mounting members 14 are stacked one on top of the other. Also, 21 is a cardboard box with an open bottom.
As shown in FIG. 1, this cardboard box covers the mounting member 14, the case 1, and the legs 13 from above, and the lower end of the peripheral wall is inserted into the gap between the bottom cardboard 10 and the bottom cushioning members 11, 11. Ru. still,
The inner dimensions of the cardboard box 21 are formed to be approximately equal to the outer dimensions of the legs 13, and the legs 13 do not move within the cardboard box due to friction caused by contact between the legs 13 and the inner surface of the cardboard box 21. After packaging as described above, for example, string or tape is wrapped to complete the packaging.

After being transported to a predetermined store, the package is unpacked by the store manager, and the mounting member 14 is placed on the legs 13 to form the mounting device 15, as shown in FIG. Furthermore, the case 1 is placed on the mounting member 14, and the fixing member 2 having an L-shaped cross section is placed on the mounting member 14.
5 and 25 are fixed by fasteners 27 across the opposing side walls of the show case 1 and the mounting member 14.

Therefore, when installed in a store, the legs 13 that support the show case 1 are placed around the show case 1 body during packaging, and are packed together with the show case body, so there is no need to package the main body and the legs separately.
Moreover, the packaging volume can be reduced, and the legs 1 act as a guard to reduce the impact applied to the show case 1 from the outside during transportation, protecting the show case from the impact and avoiding damage to the main body.
3 acts as a reinforcing member by coming into contact with the circumferential side of the cardboard box 21 and supporting the circumferential side, thereby avoiding deformation of the cardboard box 21.

Incidentally, as shown in FIG.
8 is provided with cylindrical cushion members 26, 26 made of soft foam material, for example, as required.
Here, the cushion materials 26, 26 are provided when the outer dimensions of the legs 13 are smaller than the inner dimensions of the cardboard box 21, and by providing the cushion materials 26, 26, the legs 1 including the respective cushion materials
The outer dimensions of 3 are slightly larger than the inner dimensions of the cardboard box 21, and the cardboard box 21 is inserted into the leg 1 from above.
3 and the case 1, the cushion members 26, 26 rotate or slide along the inner surface of the peripheral side wall of the cardboard box 21,
When completely covered, the cushion material 26, 26
are slightly compressed by the circumferential side wall, and the vertical movement of the legs 13 is restricted by the friction between them. Moreover, the cushions 26, 26 can protect the glass of the transparent door 30 and transparent wall 31 of the show case 1.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6, cut-and-raised portions 38, 38 are formed at appropriate locations on the peripheral side wall of the cardboard box 21, and when the cardboard box 21 is placed over the cardboard box, these cut-and-raised portions 38, 38 come into contact with the legs 13. By doing so, the vertical movement of the leg 13 can be restricted, and the same effects as in the above embodiment can be obtained.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG.
Forming handle holes 34, 34 at appropriate positions on the peripheral side wall of 1,
Handle reinforcing plates 32, 32 are provided on the inner surface of the circumferential wall facing these handle holes, and the lower ends of the respective handle reinforcing plates 32, 32 are brought into contact with the legs 13 when the cardboard box 21 is placed on the legs. 13 can be restricted from moving up and down, and the same effects as in the above embodiment can be obtained.

Furthermore, when the purchaser of the show case 1 desires a mounting device with a high overall height, substantially the entire show case 1 is housed in the legs 13A whose overall height is approximately equal to the total height of the show case 1, as shown in FIG. By doing so (as indicated by the chain line in FIG. 1), it is possible to obtain the same effects as in the above embodiment, and at the time of installation, the mounting position of the show case 1 can be made higher when viewed from the floor. Furthermore, by positioning the legs 13A between the bottom and top buffer members 11 and 20, the legs 13 can support the stacking of the mounting members 14 placed on the top buffer members 20 and 20.

Furthermore, although the above embodiment has been described based on the case 1, the legs 13 formed of metal rods, and the plate-shaped mounting member 14, the shape of the case, the shape or configuration of the legs and the mounting member are the same as in the above embodiment. For example, the show case may be cylindrical, and the legs may be formed by pipes or bent metal plates, and the shape of the mounting member may be changed to the above-mentioned shape. It may be made to match the shape of the case. Alternatively, the mounting member 14 may be housed on one side of the case 1 facing the transparent wall 31 using a spacer or the like.

(G) Effects of the Invention Since the present invention is a show case packing device as explained in the above embodiment, when installed in a store,
The legs that support the case body are placed around the case body during packaging and cover the peripheral side of the body, so the body case and the legs are placed in a stacked state and the whole body is packaged. In addition to reducing the volume, the legs themselves serve as reinforcing members and guards for the circumferential side of the cardboard box that covers the show case body, so that when an external impact is applied to the circumferential side of the cardboard box, In this case, this impact is alleviated and prevented from reaching the show case body, and as a result, damage to the show case main body can be avoided.
