Description

本発明は、スーパーマーケットなどの店舗に据付けて使用する冷凍，冷蔵用のオープンショーケースに関し、詳しくはショーケースの本体フロント部に装着したポップレールの取付け構造に係わる。 The present invention relates to an open showcase for freezing and refrigeration that is installed and used in a store such as a supermarket, and particularly relates to a mounting structure of a pop rail attached to a front portion of a main body of the showcase.

周知のように、頭記のオープンショーケースでは、庫内に陳列した商品カードあるいはプライスカードを表示するために、ケース本体のフロント部にポップレールを装備している。このプライスレールはポップホルダにワイヤ製の支持脚を溶接接合した構造で、該支持脚をフロント部に着脱可能に取付けるようにしており、その取付け構造としてケース本体のフロント壁部の長手方向に沿ってその上縁に被着したフロントキャップとその背後に配した循環冷気吸込グリルとの間にＣチャンネル状の係止レールを布設し、この係止レール開口部に前記ポップレールの支持脚を差し込んで起立姿勢に保持するようにした構造が知られている（例えば、特許文献１参照）。
特開２００１−１７４１３５号公報（図３） As is well known, the open showcase described above is equipped with a pop rail on the front of the case body in order to display the product card or price card displayed in the cabinet. This price rail has a structure in which a wire support leg is welded and joined to a pop holder, and the support leg is detachably attached to the front portion. As the attachment structure, the price rail extends along the longitudinal direction of the front wall portion of the case body. A C-channel locking rail is laid between the front cap attached to the upper edge of the lever and the circulating cold air suction grille arranged behind it, and the pop rail support leg is inserted into the locking rail opening. A structure that is held in an upright position is known (for example, see Patent Document 1).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-174135 (FIG. 3)

前記の特許文献１に開示されているポップレールの支持構造は、ポップレールの着脱操作が簡単に行える利点がある反面、ポップホルダに買い物客の持つ籠などが当たって押されたりすると、簡単に脱落してしまうおそれがあるほか、ポップレールを取付けるために、ケース本体のフロント部でフロントキャップと庫内側の吸込グリルとの間に係止レールを追加装備する必要があることから部品点数が増えてコスト高となる。
本発明は上記の点に鑑みなされたものであり、その目的は簡易な着脱操作性に加えて簡単に脱落するおそれがなく、しかもポップレールの取付具としてフロント部に新たな部品を追加装備することなく、ケース本体に標準装備のフロントキャップ,吸込グリルを利用して安定よく掛止保持できるように改良したポップレールの取付け構造を提供することにある。 The pop rail support structure disclosed in Patent Document 1 has an advantage that the pop rail can be easily attached and detached. On the other hand, if the pop holder is hit with a bag of a shopper, it is easily In addition to the possibility of falling off, it is necessary to equip the front part of the case body with an additional locking rail between the front cap and the suction grille inside the cabinet to increase the number of parts. Cost.
The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and its purpose is not to be easily detached in addition to simple attachment / detachment operability, and to additionally equip a front part with a new part as a pop rail mounting tool. The object is to provide a pop rail mounting structure that is improved so that the case main body can be stably latched and held using a front cap and a suction grill provided as standard equipment.

上記目的を達成するために、本発明によれば、前面を開放した本体ケースのフロント部にポップレールを装備したオープンショーケースで、前記ポップレールがポップホルダにワイヤ製の支持脚を結合した構造になり、該支持脚を介してポップレールを本体ケースのフロント部へ着脱可能に支持したものにおいて、
前記ポップレールの支持脚の先端に扁平な差込片部を形成した上で、該差込片部を、本体ケースのフロント部に配したフロントキャップと該フロントキャップの庫内側側面に形成した差込溝部に側縁を掛止してフロント部の背後に配した吸込グリルとの間の隙間に押し込んで支持するものとし(請求項１)、その実施にはポップレールを次記のような態様で構成することができる。
（１）前記ポップレールの支持脚には差込片部の上側に並べて係合突起部を形成し、ポップレールの取付け位置で前記係合突起部をフロントキャップの頂部側縁の裏側に掛止して脱落を防止するようにする（請求項２）。
（２）前記ポップレールの支持脚に対し、そのワイヤにプレス加工を施して扁平な差込片部および係合突起部を形成する（請求項３）。 In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, a structure in which a pop rail is provided on a front portion of a main body case having an open front surface, the pop rail is connected to a pop holder with a support leg made of wire. In which the pop rail is detachably supported to the front part of the main body case via the support legs,
After forming a flat plug piece at the tip of the support leg of the pop rail, the plug piece is formed on the front cap of the main body case and the inner side of the front cap. The side edge is hooked to the insertion groove and supported by being pushed into the gap between the suction grille arranged behind the front part (Claim 1), and the pop rail is implemented as described below. Can be configured.
(1) An engaging protrusion is formed on the support leg of the pop rail so as to be arranged on the upper side of the insertion piece, and the engaging protrusion is hooked on the back side of the top side edge of the front cap at the mounting position of the pop rail. Thus, dropping is prevented (claim 2).
(2) The wire is pressed on the support leg of the pop rail to form a flat insertion piece and an engaging projection (Claim 3).

上記の取付け構造によれば、ケース本体のフロント部にポップレールを装着した状態では、ポップレールの支持脚先端側に形成した差込片部がフロントキャップと吸込グリルとの間に圧入され、同時に係合突起部がフロントキャップの頂部側縁に係合し、これによりポップレールに買い物籠などが当たって押されても簡単に脱落するおそれがない。しかも、ポップレールを取付けるために、ケース本体のフロント部に取付部品を新たに追加装備する必要もない。
また、ポップレールの挿脱操作性についても、ポップレールをフロントキャップと吸込グリルとの間の隙間に押し込むだけだけで掛止保持でき、またこの状態からポップレールに力を加えて引き上げることでフロントキャップに傷を付けることなく取り外すことができる。 According to the above mounting structure, when the pop rail is mounted on the front portion of the case body, the insertion piece formed on the tip end side of the pop rail support leg is press-fitted between the front cap and the suction grille, The engaging protrusion engages with the top side edge of the front cap, so that even if the shopping basket hits the pop rail and is pushed, there is no possibility of falling off easily. In addition, in order to attach the pop rail, it is not necessary to additionally equip the front part of the case body with an additional part.
The pop rail can also be inserted and removed by simply pushing the pop rail into the gap between the front cap and the suction grille. From this state, the pop rail can be lifted by applying force to the front. It can be removed without damaging the cap.

以下、本発明の実施の形態を図１，図２に示す実施例に基づいて説明する。
各図において、１は前面開放形の断熱筐体になるケース本体のフロント壁部、２はフロント壁部１の長手方向に沿ってその上端に被着したフロントキャップ(樹脂成形品)、３はフロント壁部１の背後に並べて庫内側に布設し循環冷気の吸込グリル、４はフロント部に装着したポップレールである。
ここで、ポップレール４はワイヤを横長な額縁状に曲げ加工したポップホルダ５と、ポップホルダ５に溶接接合したワイヤ（丸棒）製の支持脚６との組立体になり、支持脚６の先端側にはワイヤにプレス加工を施して扁平な差込片部６ａ，および差込片部６ａの上側に並んで後方に突き出すに扁平な円弧状の係合突起部６ｂが形成されている。
一方、フロントキャップ２は、図示のような断面形状異形レールであって、その庫内側側面には断面Ｌ字形の差込溝部２ａが一体に突き出し形成されており、このフロントキャップ２をフロント壁部１に被着，固定した状態で、庫内側に布設した吸込グリル３の側縁を前記差込溝部２ａに差し込んで掛止保持するようにしている。 DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the examples shown in FIGS.
In each figure, 1 is a front wall portion of a case body that becomes a heat-insulating housing with an open front, 2 is a front cap (resin molded product) that is attached to the upper end of the front wall portion 1 along the longitudinal direction, 3 Arranged behind the front wall 1 and laid on the inner side of the cabinet, a suction grill 4 for circulating cold air is a pop rail mounted on the front.
Here, the pop rail 4 is an assembly of a pop holder 5 in which a wire is bent into a horizontally long frame shape and a support leg 6 made of a wire (round bar) welded to the pop holder 5. A flat insertion piece 6a is formed on the distal end side by pressing the wire, and a flat arcuate engagement protrusion 6b is formed so as to protrude rearward alongside the upper side of the insertion piece 6a.
On the other hand, the front cap 2 is a deformed rail having a cross-sectional shape as shown in the figure, and an insertion groove portion 2a having an L-shaped cross section is integrally formed on the inner side surface of the warehouse. In the state of being attached and fixed to 1, the side edge of the suction grill 3 installed on the inner side of the warehouse is inserted into the insertion groove 2a to be held.

そして、上記のポップレール４をケース本体のフロント部に取付ける場合には、図１で示すようにフロント部の上方からポップレール４の支持脚６をフロントキャップ２の後面と前記差込溝部２ａに掛止した吸込グリル３との間の残余隙間に押し込む。これにより、支持脚６の差込片部６ａがフロントキャップ２と吸込グリル３との間に圧入されると同時に、係合突起部６ｂがフロントキャップ２の頂部側縁２ｂの裏側に潜り込んでこの位置に掛止される。この取付け状態では、ポップホルダ５に物が当たったりしてもポップレール４が簡単に脱落することなく、安定した起立姿勢に保持できる。
また、ショーケースの庫内を清掃するなどのメンテナンスの際に、ポップレール４を取り外す場合には、ポップレール４に力を加えて上方に引き上げることにより抜き取ることができる。 And when attaching said pop rail 4 to the front part of a case main body, as shown in FIG. 1, the support leg 6 of the pop rail 4 is made into the rear surface of the front cap 2, and the said insertion groove part 2a from the upper part of a front part. It pushes into the remaining clearance between the suction grill 3 and the hook. As a result, the insertion piece 6a of the support leg 6 is press-fitted between the front cap 2 and the suction grill 3, and at the same time, the engaging projection 6b sinks into the back side of the top side edge 2b of the front cap 2 and this Hang in position. In this attached state, even if an object hits the pop holder 5, the pop rail 4 can be held in a stable standing posture without easily falling off.
When removing the pop rail 4 during maintenance such as cleaning the interior of the showcase, the pop rail 4 can be removed by applying a force to the pop rail 4 and pulling it upward.
