Definitions

  • the invention relates to refrigerated display cabinets with a shelf structure which has display shelves, and with a lower goods space which is preferred in front of the shelf structure and on whose front edge facing the customer a lighting device is arranged.
  • Such furniture often referred to as refrigerated shelves, is generally used for the storage and presentation of perishable goods that are offered for sale. For example, they are installed in retail outlets in the food industry and often contain dairy products or other products that require refrigeration.
  • the goods on the display shelves and in the lower goods area are almost always illuminated by fluorescent tubes or light bulbs, which are housed in the ceiling area of the furniture.
  • fluorescent tubes or light bulbs which are housed in the ceiling area of the furniture.
  • a lighting device can also be provided on the front edge of the lower goods area.
  • this lighting device according to the prior art can only improve the lighting of the lower goods area.
  • On the display shelves only those goods are illuminated that are placed exactly on the front edge of a display shelf. Goods further back are in the shadow of the respective display floor.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of improving a refrigerated display cabinet of the type mentioned in such a way that the disadvantages described are avoided.
  • a translucent pane is inserted into one or more display shelves, through which light falls from the lighting device into the space above the display shelf.
  • the translucent pane is preferably located in the front half of the display shelf.
  • the display shelf usually made of sheet metal, must have a recess in which a plate made of glass or transparent plastic can be placed. There should be no shadowing devices under the glass.
  • a particular advantage of the refrigerated display cabinet according to the invention lies in the direction of the beam, which has a component from bottom to top. It can also be used to illuminate packaging that tapers conically downwards. Goods packaged in this way, often dairy products, are found in particularly large quantities on display shelves of refrigerated display cabinets of the type according to the invention.
  • the invention also offers advantages if only one translucent pane is provided for one display shelf. However, preferably several or even all of the display shelves have translucent panes.
  • the lighting device is arranged on the outside of a transparent air baffle arranged in front of the front edge of the lower goods area.
  • the lighting device can be arranged at a greater height (up to about 40 cm) above the floor of the lower merchandise space than is the case with refrigerated display cabinets according to the prior art. This can significantly improve the lighting of the lower part of the shelf structure.
  • the air baffle can be any type of fixed or movable front wall in front of the lower goods area. It must be at least partially translucent.
  • such an air baffle In addition to acting as a cover for the lighting device, such an air baffle also acts as an air baffle for cold air, which falls down on the front of the shelf structure and is pulled off in the front area of the lower goods area.
  • German patent application P 40 03 910.2 (internal file number K 90/11) and in European patent application EP 91 ... ... (internal file number K 90/11-EP) submitted the present application) explained in detail.
  • a translucent pane is inserted into one or more display shelves, through which light from the lighting device falls into the space above the display shelf, and the lighting device on the outside of one in front of the front edge of the lower goods room arranged transparent air baffle is arranged.
  • the lighting device can be located in a housing which can be pivoted about a horizontal axis.
  • the side of the housing facing inwards, towards the lower goods area and the shelf structure must of course be translucent.
  • the lighting device can be arranged within a bumper strip arranged on the outside of the air guide wall.
  • a bumper strip has, for example, an approximately U-shaped cross section, which encompasses the lighting device and serves as its covering.
  • the air guide wall is integrated as a translucent inner wall in the pivotable housing mentioned above.
  • the refrigerated display cabinet according to FIG. 1 has a shelf structure with display shelves 1, 2 and a lower goods compartment 3 below.
  • the display shelves 1, 2 of the shelf structure and the lower goods area 3 are illuminated from above by one or more fluorescent tubes 4.
  • Another lighting device 5 is located at the front edge of the lower goods area 3. It is placed in front of the air inlet 6, through which air flows from the cooling air curtain 11 into the channel 12.
  • the lighting device 5 preferably extends along the entire extent of the refrigerated display cabinet perpendicular to the drawing plane of the figure and has, for example, fluorescent tubes 8.
  • the display shelves 1 of the three lower levels have glass inserts 7 as translucent panes. Through this, light from the fluorescent tube or tubes 8 can also fall onto the second row of goods 9, which are placed on the display shelves 1.
  • the beam direction of the light is illustrated by lines 10.
  • the glass insert can be dispensed with in the top display shelf 2, since the fluorescent tube 4 illuminates it satisfactorily anyway.
  • the lighting device 5 is arranged in a housing 13, the inner, translucent wall of which additionally acts as an air guide wall.
  • the refrigerated shelf shown in partial view in FIG. 2 has a similar basic structure to the furniture in FIG.
  • the display shelves that are not visible in the drawing may or may not have glass inlays.
  • the lighting device 5 is mounted on an outside of a translucent air guide wall 14. To protect against glare and shock, it is covered towards the customer by an ordinary bumper strip 15 with a U-shaped profile.
  • the bumper strip therefore fulfills two functions, namely the protection of the front edge of the cabinet against impacts by shopping trolleys and also the covering of the lighting device 5.
  • the inside of the bumper strip 15 can be designed to be reflective in order to increase the light output.
  • the bumper bar 15 can preferably be pivoted about a horizontal axis running along its lower edge.
