As shown in the figure, to minimize dirt and puddles,
The ridge 20a is provided only at one end in the longitudinal direction, and is provided at the other end.
An intermittently formed railing rail 20 is also disclosed.

[0007]

The present invention is to solve However, the above-mentioned ridges
Conventional method of forming two (see FIG. 4) or one (see FIG. 5)
Railing 20 has a ridge with an extremely small curvature.
For the sake of convenience, the shape is complicated, and it is not suitable for the production of handrail rails adopting the roll forming method.

[0008] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances,
In addition to preventing the railing rail from being scratched, it also eliminates dirt and puddles to maintain aesthetics and cleanliness. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an open showcase that also aims for:

[0009]

According to the present invention, in order to achieve the above object, a handrail laid on an upper portion of a front side wall in an open showcase having an opening for taking in and out of goods above the front side wall. The rail is characterized in that the upper surface of the rail has a gentle curved surface shape that is inclined downward toward the inside of the warehouse.

[0010] The degree of curvature of the railing rail upper surface varies depending on the size of the showcase, but the curvature is extremely small.
Since the cause is again bent back dirty accumulation and water reservoir, gentle curvature which slopes downwards towards the compartment inside
The curved surface must be large. The gentle slope of the curved surface prevents the railing rail top surface from being scratched and prevents dirt. In addition, the gentle curved surface inclined downward toward the inside of the cabinet is reflected by the lighting inside the showcase, and when the customer approaches the showcase and looks at the railing rail, the reflected light of the interior lighting
Are gathered together to form a shining state, so that there is also an advantage that the dirt is hardly conspicuous even when it is slightly dirty.

[0011]

[Function] The upper surface of the handrail rail laid on the upper part of the front side wall has a gentle curved surface inclined downward toward the inside of the warehouse, so that even if the shopping tray of food carts or foods touches the handrail rail. This makes it difficult to contact the curved upper surface, which can prevent the upper surface from being scratched, dirt and puddles of water.

[0012] In addition, the illumination light of the internal showcase it this
Reflected by the Once Kana curved surface, when the customer saw the handrail rail close to the showcase, this gentle curved surface is concave mirror
And the focus is on the inside,
Reflected light is gathered in one line and looks shining, and the dirt becomes less noticeable. Furthermore, since no extremely bent portion such as a ridge is provided, the shape is simplified, and continuous production becomes easy even when a railing rail is produced by employing a roll forming method.

[0013]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the cross-sectional view of FIG. 1 showing a railing rail structure of an open showcase.

Railing 1 for an open showcase
Is formed by continuously bending a glossy plate material such as stainless steel into a hollow shape by means such as a roll forming method, and having one bent end 1a between the front side wall 2 and the decorative panel 3. It is inserted and the other bent end 1b is inserted between the front side wall 2 and the lining 4 and fastened, and is laid on the upper part of the front side wall 2 so as to cover the decorative panel 3 integrally.

On the upper surface of the handrail rail 1, a curved surface 1c that is inclined downward toward the inside of the warehouse is provided.
Is formed over the entire length of. This curved surface 1c is
It has a gently curved surface, and is gently inclined downward toward the inside of the refrigerator, so as to prevent accumulation of dirt and water. The shopping basket and the transport tray for carrying in and out the foods of the customer are often placed on the upper surface of the railing rail 1. However, since the curved surface 1c is gently curved toward the inside of the warehouse, the shopping basket is not used. And the like are hardly contacted, and scratches and dirt are effectively prevented.

That is, since the upper surface of the handrail rail has a gentle curved surface shape which is inclined downward toward the inside of the refrigerator, direct contact of the shopping basket and the transport tray with the curved surface 1c is minimized. Scratches and wear on the top surface of the rail are prevented. In addition, due to the gentle inclination, dirt accumulation and water accumulation hardly occur. As a result, the texture and luster of the new materials are maintained for a long time, and the entire open showcase is beautiful and full of cleanliness, contributing to the improvement of the shop interior.

Further, the smooth curved surface 1c is because you are inclined downward toward the refrigerator inside, so to speak focus compartment
It plays the role of a concave mirror on the inside, is reflected by the illumination inside the showcase and looks shining from the customer side, and has the advantage that even if some dirt adheres, the dirt is less noticeable.

In FIG. 1, there is also left a portion where no curved surface is formed on the front end side of the railing rail upper surface. However, in the present invention, all the portions from the front end side to the rear end side of the railing rail upper surface are formed. A gentle curved surface may be formed on the surface.

[0019]

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, in the present invention, the upper surface of the handrail rail laid on the upper part of the front wall has a gentle curved surface shape that is inclined downward toward the inside of the warehouse, so that the shopping basket and the food are used. If the transport tray touches the railing rail,
It becomes difficult to contact the curved upper surface, so that the upper surface can be prevented from being scratched, stained, and pooled, and the handrail rail can be kept beautiful and clean.

[0020] In addition, the illumination light of the internal showcase this class
Reflected by the smooth curved surface that is inclined downward toward the inside, when the customer saw the handrail rail you go closer to the showcase, a state in which the reflected light shines gathered in Ichijo, with some scratches Even if stains or stains occur, they become less noticeable.

Further, since no extremely bent portion such as a ridge is provided, the shape is simplified, and continuous production becomes easy even when a railing rail is produced by employing a roll forming method.
