Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] This invention relates to an open showcase having a substantially U-shaped cross section in which an opening for taking out a product is formed in the front surface, and an inside of the opening is formed. The present invention relates to a canopy that constitutes an upper front end portion and extends forward.

[Conventional technology]

The open showcase shown in FIG. 3 is well known. In the figure, the body case 1 has a substantially U-shaped cross section,
An opening 2a for taking out products is provided on the front side, and a storage compartment 2 is formed in the back thereof, and the storage compartment 2 is partitioned by a shelf 3 into upper and lower stages. A fan 5 and a cooler 6 are housed in a cool air circulation path 4 defined in the main body case 1, and a fan 8 is housed in a blower path 7. Then, the air in the refrigerator is circulated through the cooler 6 by the fan 5 to form the cooling air curtain 10 in the opening 1a and the goods stored and displayed on the shelves 3 in the refrigerator 2 are cooled. On the other hand, an air curtain 11 that protects the cool air curtain 10 is formed on the outside of the cool air curtain 10 by the air flow blown by the fan 8 to efficiently cool and cool the interior 2.

A canopy 20 is attached to the upper front end surface of the main body case 1 to decorate the front of the open showcase, and the front part of the open showcase is illuminated by a fluorescent lamp 21 provided below the canopy 20.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

By the way, in the open showcase, an advertisement board having a content suitable for the time is put on the front surface of the canopy with a tape or the like for the purpose of promoting the product, thereby attracting customers and increasing sales. However, the method of simply pasting the advertising board as described above does not look good and lacks appeal, so that a large effect cannot be expected.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a canopy for an open showcase that can enhance the aesthetics of the open showcase and extremely effectively advertise a product using the front surface of the canopy.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, in the canopy that constitutes the upper front end of the open showcase having a substantially U-shaped cross section having a product take-out opening on the front surface, the front plate is formed of a transparent plate and A lighting plate rotatably one end of which is hinge-coupled to the main body of the canopy, and a small chamber is formed behind the front plate, and advertising pictograms are displayed in the small chamber and can be taken out. Also, a fluorescent lamp that illuminates this lighting board shall be installed and configured.

[Action]

Since the advertising content is illuminated by a fluorescent lamp, it is advertised extremely effectively, and since the lighting board and fluorescent lamp are housed in a small room, it becomes a nice looking canopy and the appearance of the open showcase is improved.

〔Example〕

1 and 2 show an embodiment of the present invention,
The same or similar parts as in FIG. 3 are designated by the same reference numerals.

In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a front plate 22a is formed in a rectangular tube shape inclined obliquely downward, and an upper side of the main body case 1 is attached by a screw part 23 via a mounting leg 22b projecting on the rear surface. A canopy body fixed on the front end face and a fluorescent lamp inside
A ballast such as 21 and wiring (not shown) are stored. 25 is provided in front of the canopy main body 22 and the upper edge 25a is hinge 2
The lower end edge portion 25b is detachably locked to the front plate 22a downward extension end portion 22c of the canopy main body 22 by being connected to the canopy main body 22 by 6 to form a small chamber 27 between the front plate 22 and the front plate 22. It is a face plate. The front plate 25 is semi-transparent in the upper half with the e section as a boundary,
The lower half is formed by a transparent plastic plate.
28 is a pair of support fittings provided on the front surface of the front plate 22a so as to be opposed to each other, 30 is a lighting plate on which the pictograms for advertisement of products etc. are displayed and which is detachably supported by the support fitting 28, 31 is a small chamber 27 It is a fluorescent lamp that is disposed inside and illuminates the illumination plate 30.

In the above-mentioned structure, the front of the canopy 20 is formed by the front plate 25 made of plastic to enhance the appearance of the open showcase. Further, the advertising content displayed on the lighting board 30 is illuminated forward by the fluorescent lamp 31 through the transparent lower part of the front plate 25 and is advertised extremely effectively. Furthermore, the fluorescent lamp
31 illuminates the front softly through the semi-transparent portion of the front plate 25, and because the semi-transparent fluorescent lamp 31 is not exposed to the eyes of the customer, the appearance of the front of the canopy 20 is enhanced. The lighting board
30 is replaced with an appropriate advertising content according to the displayed product or the sales season, but in that case, the front plate 25 is rotated upward to open the front of the small chamber 27 and the lighting plate 30 is supported. Easy to remove from 28 and replace. Therefore, it is possible to always attract customers and increase sales by using the lighting board 30 having appropriate contents.

[Effect of device]

According to this invention, the front plate is made of a transparent plate, and one end of the front plate is rotatably hinged to the main body of the canopy,
And a small chamber is formed behind the front plate, and in this small chamber,
A canopy was constructed by installing a lighting plate that displays pictograms for advertisement and is equipped to be taken out, and a fluorescent lamp that illuminates this lighting plate, so the front of the canopy is beautifully formed and the appearance of the open showcase is beautiful. In addition, the advertising content of products and the like can be advertised extremely effectively without impairing the appearance of the open showcase, and the display panel that displays the advertising content can be easily replaced. Advertising that is suitable for different seasons and sales will be facilitated, which will greatly contribute to attracting customers and increasing sales.
