Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (a) Industrial application field The present invention relates to a show case that forms an airflow curtain of hot air or cold air in the front opening.

(b) Prior art A case with an open side and a cold air outlet and a cold air inlet to form a cold air curtain on the front, and a side plate that closes the open side of the case, is known as Utility Model Publication No. 55-23196. It is publicly known. This means that the case body has a square-shaped metal fitting attached to its lower part, and a molded metal fitting near the side of the top surface, while the side plate has a type metal fitting attached to its lower end and a molded metal fitting to its upper edge. The mold fittings at the lower end of the side plates are inserted diagonally into the mold fittings and positioned, the side plates are erected vertically, and the upper mold fittings are fixed to each other with bolts and nuts.

However, with this configuration, the side plates must be supported until the upper mold fittings are bolted together.
In addition, since the upper mold fittings protrude above the side panels and the main body of the show case, the metal fittings are visible from the side after the case is installed, making it unsightly. This metal fitting will get in the way of construction work, such as when hanging down towards the ceiling.

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention In view of the drawbacks of the conventional ones, the present invention provides a show case in which the installation of the side panels is easy, the appearance after installation is good, and the cost of the side panels themselves is relatively low. It is.

(d) Measures to solve the problem: Hold the side plate suspended by locking the locking device provided on the inner surface of the upper end of the side plate with the holder provided on the side of the upper surface of the case body, and position the side plate in this state. After that, the side plate and the main body are connected to each other by a bolt that passes through the holder and is screwed to the side plate, and a bolt that passes through a fixture extending from the lower end of the side plate and is threaded to the main body. It is the composition.

(E) Function The side plate can be positioned by sliding it while it is suspended from the holder of the case body.The side plate and the main body can be fixed with bolts at the top of the side plate using the holder, and at the bottom of the side plate. The fixture provided at the lower end of the side plate can be fixed to the main body with bolts, and the appearance after installation is also good.

(f) Embodiment 1 The case body has a cold air outlet 4 and a cold air intake 5 to form a cold air curtain at the front opening, and a plurality of article storage shelves 2 are provided in the storage room. Reference numeral 3 denotes a side plate that closes open portions on both sides or one side of the main body 1. Reference numeral 6 denotes a holder which extends upward and is fixed near the side surface of the upper surface of the main body 1, and has a bolt insertion portion 7 formed therein. Fixtures 8 and 9 having bolt insertion portions 7A and 7B formed therein are provided on the upper side of the main body 1, respectively. This fixture 9 also serves as a side wall of a storage box 10 that stores electrical components of the show case. Reference numeral 11 designates a so-called hook-shaped locking tool that is fixed to the upper end of the inner surface of the side plate 3, extends inward, and has a downwardly bent tip so as to be locked with the holder 6. 12A and 12B are screw holes formed in the side plate 3 corresponding to the bolt insertion holes 7A and 7B, respectively, and 13 is a screw hole formed in the side plate 3 corresponding to the bolt insertion hole 7. Reference numeral 14 denotes a fixture that extends downward from the lower end of the side plate 3 to form a bolt insertion portion 15, and a screw hole 16 is formed in the main body 1 corresponding to the bolt insertion portion 15. Numerals 17 and 18 are bolt insertion parts formed in the main body 1, and correspondingly, screw holes 1 are provided in the side plate 3, respectively.
9 and 20 are formed. Each screw hole is provided with a nut plate 21 similar to the screw hole 13.

In this configuration, as shown in FIG. 2, with the locking tool 11 hooked onto the holder 6, the side plate 3 is slid back and forth to determine the front and back position, and then the bolt 22 is passed through the bolt insertion part 7 of the holder 6. Screw it into the screw hole 13 of the side plate 3 and tighten. Further, the lower end of the side plate 3 is passed through the bolt insertion portion 15 of the fixture 14, and the bolt 23 is fitted into the screw hole 16, and the bolt 23 is screwed into the screw hole 16 and tightened. In addition, in order to sufficiently connect the side plate 3 and the main body 1, the tip of a bolt with a head is inserted into each bolt insertion portion 7A, 7B, 17, 18, and the corresponding screw hole 12A,
12B, 19, and 20.

The holder 6 and the locking tool 11 may be longer in the front and back than those shown in the drawings, and the holder 6 may also serve as the fixing tools 8 and 9, and the fixing tool 14 may also be made longer in the front and back to provide a plurality of bolt insertion portions. Alternatively, each bolt may be tightened.

In addition, when a plurality of case bodies 1 are installed horizontally in FIG. 1, holders 6 and fixtures 8 and 9 may be used to connect adjacent case bodies to each other.

FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the holder 6 and the locking tool 11. The holder 6 is provided with an upright piece 24, and the locking tool 11 is formed with an insertion hole 25 for the upright piece 24 to prevent it from coming off when the side plate 3 is moved back and forth. The state in which the side plate 3 is suspended from the main body 1 is shown in FIG.

The present invention can also be applied to warm air circulation type show cases.

(G) Effect of the invention The side plate is suspended from the side of the main body by locking the locking tool of the side plate to the holder provided on the show case body. The side plate can be moved by sliding the stopper, and the side plate can be fixed to the case body with bolts at a predetermined position. Therefore, there is no need for the worker to tighten the bolts while supporting the heavy side plate relative to the case body, making the work extremely easy. In addition, the side plate and the case body can be connected by bolts using a holder at the top of the side plate, and a fixing device is used at the bottom of the side plate, so the bolts do not appear on the outside of the side plate, resulting in a good appearance. Also, there is no need for cosmetic caps to hide the bolt heads.
