Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、店舗等の営業時間終了後に商品取出口を覆うナイトカバーを備えたナイトカバー付きオープンショーケースに関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
スーパーマーケット等の店舗に設置されているオープンショーケースにおいては、冷凍商品や冷蔵商品を収納している関係上、営業時間が終了した後にもオープンショーケースの冷却運転を行っている。また、この冷却運転はその冷却負荷をできるだけ小さくするため、商品取出口をナイトカバーで覆うようにしている。
【0003】
このようなナイトカバー装置は、一般にはオープンショーケース本体の天板の上に設置したり、或いは、商品取出口の上縁部に設置しており、ナイトカバーで商品取出口を覆う際は、ナイトカバーの先端のフックを下方に向かって引き、商品取出口の下縁部に設置された引っ掛け金具にフックを引っ掛け、商品取出口を覆っている。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、オープンショーケース本体の天板上にナイトカバー装置を設置する構造では、ナイトカバー装置がオープンショーケースの外にむき出しとなっており、オープンショーケースのショー効果を損なうという問題点を有していた。一方、オープンショーケースの商品取出口の上縁部にナイトカバー装置を設置する構造では、商品取出口の上縁部にナイトカバー装置用の設置スペースを用意しなければならないため、その分、この上縁部の高さ位置がやや低くなり、上部に収納される商品の視認を妨げたり、或いは、上部収納商品を取り出す際や収納する際にナイトカバー装置が邪魔になるという問題点を有していた。
【0005】
本発明の目的は前記従来の問題点に鑑み、商品取出口の上縁部の高さ位置が低くなることがなく、また、ショー効果を損なうことがないナイトカバー付きオープンショーケースを提供することにある。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は前記課題を解決するため、オープンショーケース本体の前面の商品取出口を覆うカバー体を有するナイトカバー装置を備えたナイトカバー付きオープンショーケースにおいて、オープンショーケース本体の天井部内にはナイトカバー装置を設置し、天井部の上部のうち商品取出口の上縁部から後方に離隔した部位にはカバー体を天井部の外に引き出し可能なスリットを設けた構造となっている。
【0007】
本発明によれば、常時は天井部内にナイトカバー装置が収納され外部から見え難くなっているため、オープンショーケースのショー効果を損なうことがない。また、商品取出口の上縁部の高さ位置が低くなることもない。
【0008】
【発明の実施の形態】
図1及び図2は本発明に係るナイトカバー付きオープンショーケースの一実施形態を示すもので、図1はオープンショーケースの斜視図、図2はオープンショーケースの天井部を示す断面図である。なお、この実施形態では小型オープンショーケース(幅650×奥行520×高さ1400mm)を例として掲げ説明する。
【0009】
このオープンショーケースは小型商品(小型瓶入り商品等)を陳列するオープンショーケースであり、前面を商品取出口11用に開口したオープンショーケース本体1(以下、ケース本体という)と、ケース本体1の下方に設置された冷却機器の機械室2とを有し、ケース本体1の商品収納部12には複数段に商品棚13が設置されている。また、商品収納部12の下側、背面側及び上面側には冷気を循環する冷気ダクト14を有し、冷気を下側→背面側→上面側→商品取出口11→下側と順次循環して商品収納部12の前面にエアーカーテンを形成している。
【0010】
以上のような構成は従来のオープンショーケースと同様であり、本実施形態に係るオープンショーケースはケース本体1の天井部15にナイトカバー装置3を設置した点に特徴を有する。この特徴的構造を図2を参照して説明する。
【0011】
即ち、ケース本体1の天井部15は冷気ダクト14の上板151と、その上方に間隙152をおいて配置された天板153とを有している。この天板153は前方に向かって徐々に下側に湾曲した前天板153aと、前天板153aから後方に向かって延在した後天板153bとを有しており、この前天板153aは収納商品の商品名等が記載できる広告面として利用される。また、後天板153bには図1に示すように横方向に延びるスリット153cが形成されており、このスリット153cを通じて後述するカバー体31が引き出されるようになっている。
【0012】
このように構成された天井部15において、その間隙152に図2に示すナイトカバー装置3が設置されている。このナイトカバー装置3の構造は従来装置と同様に構成されており、展開自在のカバー体31と、カバー体31をバネ付勢により巻き付けている巻き付け部32とを有している。この巻き付け部32は冷気ダクト14の上板151の後部に取り付け金具33を介して設置されている。また、カバー体31の先端にはフック34が取り付けられており、このフック34が常時はスリット153cを通って天井部15の上方に少しだけ飛び出している。なお、商品取出口11の下縁部には、図1に示すように、ナイトカバー装置3のフック34を引っ掛ける引っ掛け金具35が設けられている。
【0013】
本実施形態に係るオープンショーケースにおいて、フック34を上方に引っ張ると、カバー体31がスリット153cを通じて引き出され、図2の2点鎖線で示すようにフック34を引っ掛け金具35に向かって引き下ろし、フック34をこれに引っ掛けることにより、商品取出口11がカバー体31で覆われ、そして商品収納部12が隠蔽される。
【0014】
本実施形態によれば、ナイトカバー装置3が天井部15の内部に設置されているため、常時はナイトカバー装置3が外部から見え難くなっており、オープンショーケースのショー効果を損なうことがない。また、従来の如くナイトカバー装置3を商品取出口11の上縁部に設置するものでないため、この上縁部の高さ位置が低くなることもない。
【0015】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、本発明によれば、常時は天井部内にナイトカバー装置が収納され外部から見え難くなっているため、オープンショーケースのショー効果を損なうことがない。
【0016】
また、従来の如く、ナイトカバー装置を商品取出口の上縁部に設置するものでないため、この上縁部の高さ位置が低くなることがなく、商品の視認範囲が狭くなったり、上部収納商品を取り出す際や収納する際にナイトカバー装置が邪魔になることもない。

[0009]
This open showcase is an open showcase that displays small products (products in small bottles, etc.), an open showcase main body 1 (hereinafter referred to as a case main body) whose front is opened for a product outlet 11, and a case main body 1 And the machine room 2 of the cooling device installed below the product shelf 13 in the product storage section 12 of the case body 1 in a plurality of stages. In addition, a cool air duct 14 that circulates cool air is provided on the lower side, the back side, and the upper side of the product storage unit 12, and the cool air is circulated in order from the lower side → the back side → the upper side → the product outlet 11 → the lower side. An air curtain is formed on the front surface of the product storage unit 12.
[0010]
The configuration as described above is the same as that of the conventional open showcase, and the open showcase according to the present embodiment is characterized in that the night cover device 3 is installed on the ceiling portion 15 of the case body 1. This characteristic structure will be described with reference to FIG.
[0011]
That is, the ceiling portion 15 of the case main body 1 has an upper plate 151 of the cold air duct 14 and a top plate 153 disposed above the upper plate 151 with a gap 152 therebetween. The top plate 153 includes a front top plate 153a that is gradually curved downward toward the front, and a rear top plate 153b that extends rearward from the front top plate 153a. The front top plate 153a is a storage product. It is used as an advertising surface on which product names can be written. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a slit 153c extending in the lateral direction is formed in the rear top plate 153b, and a cover body 31 described later is drawn out through the slit 153c.

The structure of the night cover device 3 is the same as that of the conventional device, and includes a deployable cover body 31 and a winding portion 32 around which the cover body 31 is wound by spring bias. The winding portion 32 is installed on the rear portion of the upper plate 151 of the cold air duct 14 via an attachment fitting 33. Further, a hook 34 is attached to the tip of the cover body 31, and the hook 34 always protrudes slightly above the ceiling portion 15 through the slit 153c. As shown in FIG. 1, a hook metal fitting 35 for hooking the hook 34 of the night cover device 3 is provided at the lower edge portion of the commodity outlet 11.
[0013]
In the open showcase according to the present embodiment, when the hook 34 is pulled upward, the cover body 31 is pulled out through the slit 153c, and the hook 34 is pulled down toward the hook fitting 35 as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. By hooking 34 to this, the product outlet 11 is covered with the cover body 31, and the product storage part 12 is concealed.
[0014]
According to the present embodiment, since the night cover device 3 is installed inside the ceiling portion 15, the night cover device 3 is normally difficult to see from the outside, and the show effect of the open showcase is not impaired. . Further, since the night cover device 3 is not installed at the upper edge portion of the commodity outlet 11 as in the prior art, the height position of the upper edge portion is not lowered.
