At this time, the rear part and the left part of the corner cover (20) are fitted on the upper surface of the lower trim (7) and the handrail rail (11), respectively (the rear part of the corner cover (20) is 7 is shown in FIG. 7), the corner cover (20) is attached to the upper end of the corner of the housing (2), and the recess (22) of the corner cover (20) is Fit the mounting piece (16), press the lower mounting piece (16) against the lower trim (7) side, and lower the front lower end of the windshield (G) with the lower trim.
Fixed to (7).

A corner bumper (30) shown in FIGS.
Has an approximately L-shape in plan view formed by bending a synthetic resin or a steel plate (see FIG. 9), and an inward engaging piece facing rightward over the entire length thereof is provided on the back side of the left edge thereof. (3
1) is provided, and a pair of upper and lower inward engaging pieces (32) (32) are provided on the back side of the rear edge portion. The vertical dimension of the inward engaging pieces (32) (32) at the rear edge of the corner bumper (30) is slightly shorter than the vertical width of the notch (25) of the fixing bracket (23), and The vertical dimension of the notch (33) between the mating pieces (32) and (32) is slightly longer than the vertical dimension of the outward engaging piece (26) of the fixing bracket (23).

Fixing the upper edge of the corner bumper (30)
Align the engagement piece (31) on the left edge of the corner bumper (30) with a position slightly lower than the upper edge of the notch (25) of (23).
Insert the engagement piece (32) above the rear edge of the corner bumper (30) into the gap between the outward engagement piece (26) and the front plate (10) below from the left side, and After inserting into the notch (25) from
Lift the corner bumper (30) until it comes into contact with the lower surface of the corner cover (20).

Then, the left engaging piece (31) of the corner bumper (30) is connected to the left outward engaging piece (26) (2) of the fixing bracket (23).
6), and the upper and lower inward engaging pieces (32) and (32) on the rear side of the corner bumper (30) are upper and lower outward engaging pieces (26) and (26) ( The upper and lower engaging pieces (32) and (32) on the rear side are prevented from coming off.

The gaps between the outward engaging pieces (26) and the side plates (5) and the front plate (10) correspond to the thickness of the inward engaging pieces (31) and (32) of the corner bumper (30). When the corner bumper (30) is attached to the fixing bracket (23), the outer surfaces of the side plate (5) and the front plate (10) are inwardly engaged with the corner bumper (30) as shown in FIG. The impact applied to the corner bumper (30) from outside as it abuts against the back of the mating pieces (31) and (32) and the center of the back of the corner bumper (30) abuts the front end corner of the side plate (5) In contrast, the corner bumper (30) is strongly supported, and the corner bumper (30) can be prevented from being deformed.

In this state, the through holes formed in the mounting pieces (35) provided on both sides of the corner lower bumper (34) formed by bending a synthetic resin or a steel plate and having an approximately L shape in a plan view are provided. A set screw (36) (see the dashed line in FIG. 8) is inserted, and the set screw (36) is drilled at the lower end of the side edge of the side plate (5) and the front plate (10) which are close to each other. When screwed into the hole (37),
The corner lower bumper (34) is fixed directly below the corner bumper (30) (see FIG. 9).
Lowering is prevented by the upper surface of the corner lower bumper (34), and falling down is completely prevented.

Thereafter, the lower bumpers (39) (4) are attached to the latches (38) provided near the lower edges of the side plate (5) and the front plate (10).
By mounting 0), the refrigerated showcase (1) is completed.

According to the refrigerated showcase (1) having the embodiment described above, the concave portion (22) of the corner cover (20) is provided.
However, the lower mounting piece (16) of the windshield (G) is trimmed to the lower part (7).
Therefore, the front lower end of the windshield (G) can be attached to the window (6) without rattling. Also, through holes (20a) (20) drilled in the rear wall of the corner cover (20)
a) Insert a set screw (not shown) into (see FIGS. 4 and 5), and insert the set screw into a screw hole (not shown) formed in the upper part of the inner surface of the front plate (5) and the side plate (10). If screwed, windshield
The rattle of the front lower end of (G) and the corner cover (20)
More reliably prevented.

Corner cover using fixing bracket (23)
(20) is attached to the corner of the refrigerated showcase (1), so there is no need to screw the corner cover (20), and the set screw is exposed to the outside.
The appearance of (1) is not impaired.

The cross-sectional shape of the corner cover (20) is
Since it is almost the same as that of the lower trim (7) and the handrail rail (11), a shape continuity is generated between these members, and the appearance of the corner portion of the refrigerated showcase (1) is improved. Can be.

The corner bumper (30) can be easily attached to the fixing bracket (23), and if the corner lower bumper (34) is removed from the side plate (5) and the front plate (10),
Since the corner bumper (30) can be easily removed from the fixing bracket (23), the corner bumper (30) can be easily replaced with a new one.

A notch (25) is provided in the fixing bracket (23), and a notch (33) is formed between the upper and lower inward engaging pieces (32) on the rear side of the corner bumper (30). Therefore, the corner bumper (30) can be easily attached simply by slightly fitting the corner bumper (30) into the middle part of the fixing bracket (23) and lifting it upward. The moving stroke at the time of mounting the corner bumper (30) can be shortened as compared with the case where the corner bumper (30) is inserted from the end.

The fixing fitting (23) with which the long inward engaging piece (31) is engaged has a left outward engaging piece (26) in FIG.
Is not provided with a notch in the middle,
It may be over the entire length of 3).

Conversely, if a notch similar to the notch (33) is provided in the middle of the inward engaging piece (31), the inward engaging piece (31) is first placed on the outward engaging piece (31). There is no need to engage with 26). That is, the left and right inward engaging pieces (31) and (32) can be simultaneously engaged with the left and right outward engaging pieces (26) from the middle portion of the fixture (23).

[0033]

According to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. (a) According to the first aspect of the present invention, the pressing portion of the corner cover presses the lower mounting piece of the windshield to the lower trim side, thereby mounting the front lower end of the windshield without rattling on the side trim. Can be. Also,
Since there is no need to screw the lower mounting piece of the sash, it is possible to reduce the number of assembling work steps, and to improve the appearance since screws and the like are not exposed to the outside.

(B) According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the concave portion is fitted to the lower mounting piece of the windshield, it is possible to more reliably prevent the front lower end of the windshield from rattling.

(C) According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the cross-sectional shape of the corner cover is substantially the same as that of the side plate trim and the handrail rail, a shape continuity is created between these members, The appearance of the corners of the refrigerated showcase can be improved.
