Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、スーパーマーケットやコンビニエンスストア等の店舗に設置されるショーケースに関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
一般に、店舗の食品売場等に設置されるショーケースとしては、上面を開口したショーケース本体と、ショーケース本体内を冷却する冷却装置とを備え、ショーケース本体内に冷蔵または冷凍の商品を収納するようにしたものが知られている。
【０００３】
この種のショーケースにおいては、図５に示すようにショーケース本体１の背面側に広告支持体２を備え、広告支持体２にショーケース本体１内の商品に関する広告を表示したポスター等を任意に取付けられるようにしている。また、広告支持体２は上下方向に移動自在に設けられ、使用していないときは下方に移動させるようにしている。即ち、広告支持体２は、ショーケース本体１の幅方向に延びる横部材２ａと、横部材２ａの幅方向両端から下方に向かって延びる左右一対の縦部材２ｂとを有し、各縦部材２ｂをそれぞれショーケース本体１の背面に設けた筒状部材３に挿入するとともに、各筒状部材３に取付けたネジ４によって各縦部材２ｂを上下方向任意の位置で固定するようになっている。
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、前記広告支持体２を上下方向任意の位置で固定する場合、左右両側の各縦部材２ｂをそれぞれ別個のネジ４によって固定するようにしているため、各ネジ４のそれぞれに対してネジ操作が必要となり、しかも横部材２ａを水平に保持するためには、各縦部材２ｂを互いに均一の高さに合わせて固定しなければならず、広告支持体２の固定作業が極めて煩雑になるという問題点があった。更に、各ネジ４はショーケース本体１の背面に配置されているため、その背面側に手を挿入するなど、ネジ操作に苦労するという問題点もあった。
【０００５】
本発明は前記問題点に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的とするところは、広告支持体の固定作業を容易に行うことのできる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】
本発明は前記目的を達成するために、請求項１では、ショーケース本体の背面側に上下方向に移動自在に設けられ、ショーケース本体の幅方向に延びる上側横部材と、上側横部材の幅方向両端からそれぞれ下方に延びる左側及び右側縦部材とを有する広告支持体を備え、広告支持体を上下方向任意の位置で固定するようにしたショーケースにおいて、前記広告支持体に上側横部材の幅方向中央から下方に延びる中央側縦部材を設け、ショーケース本体の背面側に広告支持体の中央側縦部材を上下方向任意の位置で固定可能な固定手段を設けている。
【０００７】
これにより、広告支持体は幅方向中央側の縦部材を固定手段によって固定されることから、左右両側を固定せずとも常に水平に保持される。また、固定手段は広告支持体の中央側縦部材に対してのみ設けられているので、この固定手段以外に広告支持体を固定するための操作を必要としない。
【０００８】
また、請求項２では、請求項１記載のショーケースにおいて、前記固定手段を、広告支持体の中央側縦部材を上下方向に移動自在に挿通する筒状部材と、筒状部材に取付けられ、広告支持体の中央側縦部材に圧接可能なネジ部材とから構成し、筒状部材を少なくともネジ部材取付部分がショーケース本体の上面よりも上方に突出するように配置している。
【０００９】
これにより、請求項１の作用に加え、ネジ部材がショーケース本体の上面よりも上方に突出していることから、ショーケース本体の背面側に手を挿入することなく、前方や側方からネジ部材の操作が可能となる。
【００１０】
また、請求項３では、請求項１または２記載のショーケースにおいて、前記広告支持体に、左側及び右側縦部材の下端と中央側縦部材の下端とを連結する下側横部材を設けている。
【００１１】
これにより、請求項１または２の作用に加え、各縦部材の下端が下側横部材によって連結されているので、広告支持体が容易に変形することがない。
【００１２】
【発明の実施の形態】
図１乃至図４は本発明の一実施形態を示すもので、図１はショーケースの全体斜視図、図２はその側面断面図、図３はその背面図、図４は固定具の斜視図である。

【００１７】
広告支持体２０は金属製のワイヤからなり、ショーケース本体とほぼ同等の幅に形成されている。即ち、広告支持体２０は、ショーケース本体の幅方向に延びる上側横部材２１と、上側横部材２１の幅方向両端からそれぞれ下方に向かって延びる左側及び右側縦部材２２と、上側横部材２１の幅方向中央から下方に延びる中央側縦部材２３と、各縦部材２２，２３の下端を連結する下側横部材２４とからなり、上側横部材２１には広告部材保持用の複数のクリップ２５が取付けられている。
【００１８】
固定具３０は、上下方向に延びる筒状部材３１と、筒状部材３１に取付けられたネジ３２とからなり、ネジ３２は手指で把持可能なローレットネジからなる。筒状部材３１はショーケース本体１０の背面の幅方向中央に取付けられ、その上部（ネジ３２の取付部分）がショーケース本体１０の上面板１５よりも上方に突出するように配置されている。即ち、筒状部材３１には広告支持体２０の中央側縦部材２３が上下方向に移動自在に挿通しており、ネジ３２を回動してその先端を筒状部材３１内の中央側縦部材２３に圧接させることにより、中央側縦部材２３を固定するようになっている。
【００１９】
以上のように構成されたショーケースにおいては、広告支持体２０を上方に引き上げて固定具３０により固定し、広告支持体２０のクリップ２５によって広告用の任意のポスターＡを吊り下げることにより、図１に示すようにポスターＡが広告支持体２０によって支持される。その際、広告支持体２０は幅方向中央の縦部材２３を固定具３０によって固定されることから、左右両側を固定せずとも常に水平に保持される。また、固定具３０はショーケース本体１０の幅方向中央のみに設けられているので、この固定具３０のネジ３２以外のネジ操作を必要としない。
【００２０】
このように、本実施形態のショーケースによれば、広告支持体２０の幅方向中央に設けた縦部材２３をショーケース本体１０の幅方向中央に設けた固定具３０によって固定するようにしたので、広告支持体２０をその左右両側を固定せずとも常に水平に保持することができ、しかも広告支持体２０の中央側縦部材２３に対してのみ設けた固定具３０のネジ３２以外のネジ操作を必要としないので、広告支持体２０の固定作業を極めて容易に行うことができる。
【００２１】
また、固定具３０をネジ３２の取付部分がショーケース本体１０の上面板１５よりも上方に突出するように配置したので、ショーケース本体１０の背面側に手を挿入することなく、前方や側方から容易にネジ３２を操作することができ、広告支持体２０の固定作業をより一層容易に行うことができる。
【００２２】
更に、広告支持体２０の左側及び右側縦部材２２の下端と中央側縦部材２３の下端とを下側横部材２４によって連結したので、広告支持体２０が容易に変形することがなく、広告支持体２０の強度の向上を図ることができる。
【００２３】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、請求項１のショーケースによれば、広告支持体を常に水平に保持することができ、しかも広告支持体の中央側縦部材に対してのみ設けられた固定手段以外に広告支持体を固定するための操作を必要としないので、広告支持体の固定作業を極めて容易に行うことができる。
