A machine chamber 18 is formed in the lower portion of the showcase 1, and cold air from a well-known refrigerating device (not shown) arranged therein is blown out and sucked in on both sides of the bottom of the lower storage chamber 16. The lower storage compartment 16 is circulated from both ports 19 and 20 to cool the lower storage compartment 16 and used as a refrigerating compartment.

A heater 21 is provided on the bottom surface of the upper storage chamber 15 at the bottom.
A hot plate 22 to which is attached is disposed, and the inside of the upper storage chamber 15 is maintained at a predetermined high temperature by heating from the hot plate 22 and is used as a heating chamber. Of course, by forming communication holes or the like on both sides of the partition member 2, cold air may be introduced into the upper storage chamber 15 and used as a refrigerating chamber.
It may be possible to switch between the hot storage and use.

Reference numeral 23 denotes an upper and lower storage chamber 15 in front of the partition member 2.
A frame made of a heat-resistant resin is horizontally laid across the left and right struts 11A and 11B at a boundary portion of the frame 16. The opening 12 of the case 1 including the front surface of the frame 23 is provided. A gasket 24 is attached to the peripheral edge, and the metal frames 13 of the upper and lower transparent doors 14A and 14B come into contact with the gasket 24.

The partition member 2 is mainly composed of upper and lower plates 26 and 27 made of metal which separate mutually facing end faces from each other, and a foamed heat insulating material 28 such as hard polyurethane filled between the both plates. , The frame 2 by the receiving portion 9
It is horizontally supported with a space behind it. A straight tube fluorescent lamp 30 is horizontally mounted on the front surface of the partition member 2 positioned within this interval. The upper surface of the fluorescent lamp 30 is a milky white cover 31 made of a translucent acrylic resin, which is horizontally long.
Is covered with the partition member 2 by screwing, and the lower surface of the fluorescent lamp 30 is covered with a horizontally long cover 32 made of transparent acrylic resin by being screwed with the partition member 2. The partition member 2 is attached to the fluorescent lamp 30, the covers 31 and 32, and the frame 23 is placed in the storage room behind the frame 23.

It is opaque and made of vinyl chloride whose rear surface is a mirror surface, and is detachably inserted between the transparent wall 11A at the lower end of the transparent door 14A and the metal frame 13.

In FIG. 1, products 35 such as canned beverages are placed and stored in the storage chambers 15 and 16 on the hot plate 22 and the shelves 7 and 8, respectively. The light from the fluorescent lamp in the lighting room 6 illuminates the product 35 on the shelf 7 of the upper storage room 15 from above.

On the other hand, the light emitted from the fluorescent lamp 30 on the front surface of the partition member 2 and diffused upward passes through the cover 31 and a part of the light directly enters the hot plate 22 as shown by the thick solid line arrow in the figure.
The upper product 35 is illuminated from below. Of these, the light traveling forward is partially transmitted through the see-through wall 11A of the transparent door 14A, and a part of the light is reflected and directed toward the storage room as indicated by the broken line arrow in the figure, and the front surface of the product 35 on the hot plate 22 is shown. Illuminate.

In particular, when the display plate 33 is provided, the light that strikes the back surface of the display plate 33 is more strongly reflected as shown by the thin solid arrow in the figure to illuminate the product 35.

The light radiated from the fluorescent lamp 30 and diffused downward passes through the cover 32, and similarly, a part of the light directly passes through the product 35 in the lower storage chamber 16 as shown by a thick solid arrow in the figure. Illuminate. Of these, the light that goes forward is also transparent door 14
Part of the light is transmitted through the transparent wall 11A of B, and part of it is reflected and directed toward the lower storage chamber 16 side as shown by the broken line arrow in the figure, and illuminates the front surface of the product 35 on the shelf 8.

Here, when the fluorescent lamp 30 on the front surface of the partition member 2 fails and needs to be replaced, the cover 32 can be replaced by removing the screw (not shown) of the cover 32.

Further, since the fluorescent lamp 30 exists between the frame 23 and the partition member 2, the shock when the transparent doors 14A and 14B are opened and closed is also applied to the frame 23, and the fluorescent lamp 30 is affected. Since it is not added directly, the damage caused by this is minimized. Further, since the product 35 does not come into contact with the covers 31, 32 and the fluorescent lamp 30 from the front even when the product 35 is delivered, damage accidents due to this can be prevented.

In the embodiment, the present invention is applied to a showcase having four side walls as a see-through wall, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the front and left and right side faces including the door, or only the door is a see-through wall. It doesn't matter. In addition, it does not matter if the upper storage compartment cannot be switched between hot and cold storage.
