Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 is a perspective view of the showcase 2 with the display device 1 of the present invention attached, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the showcase 2, FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the showcase 2 with only the holder 3 attached, and FIG. FIG. 2 is an enlarged perspective view of the showcase 2 of the display device 1.

The showcase 2 of the embodiment is a low-temperature showcase that is installed in a store such as a supermarket and displays meat, fresh fish, vegetables, and the like while cooling it. And side plates 7, 7 attached to both sides thereof.

A partition plate 8 is provided inside the heat insulating wall 6 at intervals.
The inside of the partition plate 8 is a storage chamber 9 opened upward, and a space between the partition plate 8 and the heat insulating wall 6 is a duct (not shown). A cooler and a blower (not shown) are provided in the duct. A discharge port 11 is formed inside the opening rear edge of the storage chamber 9, and a suction port 12 is formed inside the opening front edge. The cool air that has exchanged heat with the cooler is discharged from the discharge port 11 into the storage chamber 9 by the blower, circulates through the storage chamber 9 and cools, and is then drawn from the suction port 12 and returned to the duct. I do.

A stainless steel handrail 16 is attached to the upper end of the front wall 6A of the heat insulating wall 6 at the front edge of the opening of the storage room 9 across the left and right. It is located at a distance behind. The space between the handrail 16 and the suction port 12 is a recess 17 for attaching a windshield FG, which will be described later. However, in this embodiment, since the windshield FG is not attached, this recess is used. A glass receiver 18 is inserted and arranged in the inverted state.

The glass receiver 18 is a member disposed in the recess 17 to receive the lower edge of the windshield FG, is made of stainless steel, has a substantially U-shaped cross section, and is provided on the left and right. Further, through holes 19 are formed at predetermined intervals on the bottom surface of the U-shape of the glass receiver 18. In this embodiment, since the glass receiver 18 is provided with the U-shape facing downward, the bottom surface of the glass receiver 18 having the through hole 19 is located between the handrail 16 and the suction port 12.

A suction port cover 21, also made of stainless steel, is attached to the suction port 12. This inlet cover 21 has slits 22 composed of long holes in front and rear.
A plurality of holes are formed across the left and right.
.. Correspond to the front of the slit 22 in the appropriate position.

On the other hand, the display device 1 of the present invention comprises a holder 3 and a display panel (POP) 5. The holder 3 is formed by molding a hard synthetic resin or welding and coating a steel material with a resin. A pair of front struts 24, 24, which are located on the left and right sides and extend vertically, and each of the front struts 24. , 24, and connecting portions 26, 26 branching rearward from the middle of
A pair of rear struts 27, 27 extending downward from the rear ends of the front struts 6, 26 and extending vertically at intervals behind the front struts 24, 24; An upper beam portion 28 is located between the upper ends of the portions 24, 24, which are bent obliquely upward and rearward, and is located above and behind the front support portions 24, 24 and extends to the left and right.

The lower ends of the rear support portions 27, 27 extend below the front support portions 24, 24 (see FIG. 10), and the thickness of each of the support portions 24, 24, 27, 27 is as described above. The dimensions are such that they can be inserted into the through holes 19 of the glass receiver 18 and the slits 22 of the inlet cover 21. Furthermore,
The distance between the front and rear support portions 24 and 27 is set to be larger than the thickness of the windshield FG described above.

On the other hand, the display panel (POP) 5 is made of a rectangular hard synthetic resin plate, on the front of which a product name, a product price, an advertisement message, and the like are displayed. A hook-shaped engaging portion 5A is formed at the upper end of the rear surface of the display plate 5.

When the display panel 5 is to be mounted on the showcase 2 having the relatively high front wall 6A with the above structure, first, as shown in FIG.
8 into the recess 17 through the through holes 19, 19, respectively,
The holder 3 is attached to the showcase 2 in a state where the lower ends of the front support portions 24 are in contact with the handrail 16. In this state, the upper beam portion 28 of the holder 3 is at a relatively high position. In this state, the upper portion is retracted by detachably engaging the engaging portion 5A of the display panel 5 with the upper beam portion 28. The display plate 5 is held at the front edge of the opening of the storage room 9 in a relatively upright inclined state (FIG. 4).

Next, when the display panel 5 is mounted on the showcase 2 where the front wall 6A is relatively low, the front columns 24, 24 of the holder 3 are moved from the through holes 19, 19 of the glass receiver 18 into the recess 17. The holder 3 is attached to the showcase 2 in a state where the rear support portions 27 and 27 are inserted into the suction ports 12 through the slits 22 and 22 of the suction port cover 21. In this state, the connecting portions 26 of the holder 3 are in contact with the upper surface of the suction port cover 21 and the upper beam portion 28 is at a low position.
Is detachably engaged with the upper beam portion 28, so that the display panel 5 is held at the front edge of the opening of the storage room 9 in an inclined state in which the upper part is further inclined (a state facing obliquely upward and forward) (FIG. 5). ).

That is, with the holder 3 having such an extremely simple configuration, the display plate 5 can be mounted in different inclined states according to the height of the front wall 6A of the showcase 2, thereby reducing costs. The visibility and convenience of the display panel 5 can be improved.

Next, when the display plate 5 is not used, the display plate 5 is removed from the holder 3, and the front and rear support portions 24, 24, 27, 27 and the connecting portions 26, 26 of the holder 3 are connected to the suction port. From the slits 22 and 22 of the cover 21 to the suction port 12
(Fig. 6). In this state, the holder 3 is shown in FIG.
The upper beam 28 is engaged with the suction port cover 21 as shown in FIG.
7, 27 and the connecting portions 26, 26) are housed inside the suction port 12.

Therefore, when the display plate 5 is not used, the holder 3 can be stored in the suction port 12, and the usability of the storage and management is further improved.

Next, FIG. 7 to FIG.
The example of the showcase 2 to which G was attached is shown.
That is, in this case, the glass receiver 18 is installed in the recess 17 with the U-shape facing upward, and the lower end of the windshield FG is inserted into and engaged with the glass receiver 18 so as to be erected right and left. (Therefore, the glass receiver 18 is not shown).

When the display plate 5 is mounted on the showcase 2 with the above configuration, first, as shown in FIG.
The holder 3 is engaged with the upper end of the windshield FG and attached by inserting the windshield FG between the front and rear support portions 24 and 27. In this state, the engagement portion 5A of the display plate 5
Is engaged with the upper beam 28, so that the display panel 5 can be held in the rearward inclined state by the upper beam 28 and the upper end of the windshield FG (FIG. 10).

That is, the windshield F is attached to the showcase 2.
Even when G is provided, the display panel 5 can be attached to the windshield FG of the showcase 2 in an inclined state by the holder 3 having such an extremely simple configuration, thereby reducing costs and increasing versatility and convenience. Can be improved.

In the embodiment, the present invention is applied to a showcase having a top opening. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is needless to say that the present invention is also effective to an open showcase having a front opening.
