It becomes possible to hold, and it is only necessary to hold one edge 7a, 7b of the glass plate 7 with one holding member (horizontal edge material 8 or vertical edge material 9). Not only can the number of holding members to be held be reduced, but the front plate 5 holding the glass plate 7 may be at least two front plates 5 arranged on the left and right sides. Since the upper, lower, left and right sides of the glass plate 7 are not surrounded by the face plate 5, the glass plate 7 can be easily attached. Moreover, before the horizontal edge material 8 and the vertical edge material 9 by the low head bolt 10 are fixed to each other, the horizontal edge material 8 and the vertical edge material 9 can be attached to the glass plate 7 from four directions, top, bottom, left and right. For this reason, the mounting work of the horizontal edge material 8 and the vertical edge material 9 is facilitated. Furthermore, since the left and right front plates 5 are connected to each other through the attachment portion 23 of the vertical edge member 9, it is not necessary to provide a member or the like for connecting the left and right front plates 5 to each other.

  In addition, when the glass door 3 is assembled, the vertical edge member 9 can be positioned with respect to the front plate 5 by the base portion 22 formed on the vertical edge member 9, so that the vertical edge member 9 can be easily attached. The attachment strength between the vertical edge member 9 and the front plate 5 is improved by the attachment portion 23 protruding in the lateral direction from the rear end of the base portion 22 having a predetermined area. In addition, since the attachment portion 23 of the vertical edge member 9 is disposed on the rear surface side of the front plate 5, the base portion 22 having a predetermined area is concealed, and the appearance of the glass door 3 is also improved.

  Note that the vertical dimension of the front plate 5 disposed on the left and right and the vertical dimension of the glass plate 7 are substantially the same, so that the glass plate 7 opens the opening 6 (opening) of the glass door 3 that is long in the vertical direction. Window) can be formed, and the storage part 2 in the cabinet 1 closed by the glass door 3 can be easily seen from the upper part to the lower part.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and modifications and additions within the scope of the present invention are included in the present invention. It is.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the front plate 5 is not disposed at a position higher than the upper horizontal edge member 8 or a lower position than the lower horizontal edge member 8. Alternatively, the front plate 5 may be arranged at an upper position or a lower position than the lower lateral edge member 8, and is arranged at least in one of the four directions of the upper, lower, left and right directions of the glass plate 7. If the front plate is configured to be separable from other front plates, the glass plate 7 can be easily attached to the front plate.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the taper surfaces 7c and 7d were formed in the front side in the four-side periphery edge | sides 7a and 7b of the glass plate 7, it is made to form the taper surfaces 7c and 7d in the rear surface side of the glass plate 7. FIG. Alternatively, the tapered surfaces 7c and 7d may be formed on both the front and rear surfaces of the glass plate 7. By forming the tapered surfaces 7c and 7d, the four-sided peripheral edges 7a and 7b of the glass plate 7 are on the edge side. If it is formed so as to become thinner gradually, it becomes easier to fit the four-sided peripheral edges 7 a and 7 b of the glass plate 7 into the grooves 11 and 12 of the horizontal edge member 8 and the vertical edge member 9.

  Furthermore, in the said Example, although the filler 15 is filled in the groove | channels 11 and 12 of the horizontal edge material 8 and the vertical edge material 9, the filler 15 is not necessarily required and it does not necessarily use the filler 15. If the tapered surfaces 7c and 7d are formed on the four peripheral edges 7a and 7b of the glass plate 7, and the contact surfaces 13 and 14 are formed on the grooves 11 and 12 of the horizontal edge member 8 and the vertical edge member 9, respectively.
