Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a showcase having a fluorescent lamp on a front upper portion thereof and a translucent cover for covering the fluorescent lamp.

(B) Conventional technology In Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 56-33432 (A47F11 / 10), a room is formed on a display case, and a lighting body including a reflection cover and a fluorescent lamp provided in the reflection cover is screwed. The illuminating body is housed in the room so as to project forward from the front surface of the display case, and an opening / closing lid is provided on the side opposite to the illuminating body in the room. A lighting device for a display case is shown in which an extra space is integrally configured as a storage case.

(C) Problem to be Solved by the Invention According to the above-mentioned conventional technique, when the lighting body itself is rotated backward, it is difficult to take out from the room because the whole is housed in the room. When the cover is expanding due to heating, it is difficult to store the illuminating body, and because the reflective cover is long in the lateral direction, slight deformation caused during molding or due to the expansion occurs as a distortion on the side surface which is the end surface. Therefore, there is a problem that both end surfaces of the reflection cover hit the wall surface of the display case and the lighting body cannot be stored in the room.

The present invention aims to solve such problems.

(D) Means for Solving the Problems The present invention is, as a means for solving the above problems, arranged at the upper part of the front surface of a heat insulating box constituting a main body, and a base portion, a pair of sides extending forward from both left and right sides of the base portion. Section and a supporting plate having a guide piece inclined inwardly on the front surface of this side section, a fluorescent lamp attached to the base section, and a pair of caps on both left and right sides that overlap the outside of the side section. A structure is provided which is attached to the top wall of the heat insulating box by a hinge so as to be rotatable in the front-rear direction and includes a translucent cover that covers the fluorescent lamp.

(E) Action According to the above means, the cap is guided by the guide piece as the cover is rotated upward, so that deformation caused by thermal expansion due to molding of the cover or heating of the fluorescent lamp is caused. The cover can be smoothly returned to the predetermined closed position even if the above occurs.

(F) Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 9, 1 is a main body made up of a heat insulating box 3 having left and right transparent doors 2, 2 on the front. In the showcase
A plurality of net shelves 5 are arranged in the interior 4 formed by the heat insulating box 3.

6 is a fluorescent lamp arranged on the upper front part of the heat insulating box 3;
Is a translucent cover for covering the fluorescent lamp 6. The fluorescent lamp 6 is attached to a supporting plate 8 made of a thin metal plate which also serves as a reflecting plate via an elastic clip 9. The support plate 8 is composed of a vertical base portion 10 to which the clip 9 is attached, and a pair of side portions 11 and 11 that extend forward at right angles from both left and right sides of the base portion 10 and have elasticity. On the upper edge, an engaging piece 14 is formed which is engaged with a groove 13 formed along the front surface of the upper rail 12 which supports the upper portions of the both transparent doors 2, 2, and the side portions 11, 11 A pair of guide pieces 15, which incline toward the inside as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 near the upper portion of the front portion, more specifically, the upper corner portion of the front portion, guide the cap described later when the cover 7 rotates. 15 are formed. The supporting plate 8 is temporarily fixed by engaging the engaging piece 14 with the groove 13 and engaging the engaging piece 14 with the screw 16 penetrating both the left and right ends of the base portion 10. It is fixed by screwing on the front of 3B.

The cover 7 is made of white resin, and has upper, front, and lower walls.
A main part 17 having 17A, 17B, 17C, a sash 21 connected to a rear end of the upper wall 17A by a screw 18 and having a hanging side 20 having a round hole-shaped receiving part 19; And sash 21
Has a shape in which the left and right ends thereof are capped and the rear surface formed of a pair of caps 22 and 22 overlapping the outsides of the both side portions 11 and 11 is opened. When the cover 7 is connected, the cover 7 is attached to the heat insulating box 3 so as to be rotatable in the front-rear direction, is opened by rotating backward, and is closed by rotating forward.

A stopper 24 is attached to the base portion 10 of the support plate 8 so as to be rotatable in the left-right direction, and supports the cover 7 when the cover 7 is opened. The stopper 24 is the stopper 7 as shown in FIGS. At the time of opening, a protrusion 25 to be inserted into the receiving portion 19, a manipulation knob 26 on the right side of the protrusion, and a locking pin 27 on the back of the knob are formed at the center of the upper edge. The stopper 24 is pivotally supported by a shaft 28 on the lower right side when the cover 7 is opened.

That is, the stopper 24 is rotatably supported by the shaft 28 so that the eccentricity, in other words, the center of gravity is always on the left side, and when the cover 7 is closed, the center of gravity of the stopper 24 is on the left side. As shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the locking pin 27 is in contact with the engaging piece 14 of the base portion 10 and the leftward rotation is restricted so as to be in a sideways stopped state, and when the cover 7 is opened. , The lower wall 17C of the cover 7 is in the front half-opened state, and the knob 26 is operated to rotate to the right to erect the stopper 24, insert the projection 25 into the receiving portion 19, and cover the stopper 7 with the cover 7. The open state of the cover 7 is maintained by supporting the.

When the cover 7 shifts from open to closed, the cover 7 is slightly lifted to
The 24 automatically rotates to the left and stops at a predetermined position.

Furthermore, as the cover 7 is rotated and lowered, the caps 22 and 22 are guided by the guide pieces 15 and 15, so that thermal expansion due to the molding of the cover 7 and the heating of the fluorescent lamp 6 occurs. Even if the resulting deformation occurs, the cover 7 can be smoothly returned to the predetermined closed position.

Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 2, a pair of elastic side portions 11, 1
If the width L of the outer surface of 1 is equal to the width M of the inner surfaces of the caps 22,22, even if the user accidentally releases the cover 7 from the open state to the closed state, the caps 22,22 and the guides Piece 15,
15, the cover 7 due to the friction generated between the side portions 11, 11.
The impact of can be eased.

(G) Effect According to the present invention, since the cover can be rotated outside the refrigerator, the cover can be easily rotated, and further, when the cover is opened, the cover is rotated and lowered. Since the cap is guided by the guide piece, there is an effect that the cover can be smoothly returned to the predetermined closed position even if deformation occurs due to thermal expansion due to molding of the cover or heating of the fluorescent lamp. Occurs.
