Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a display case used in museums and the like for storing objects on display such as antiques and jewelry.

(Prior art) In conventional display cases of this type, a plurality of columns are erected on a base, and a peripheral wall plate made of transparent glass is held between each column to form a rectangular cylindrical display case. A surrounding wall plate is constructed, the upper surface of the surrounding wall is covered with a ceiling body, and one of the surrounding wall plates is attached to a pillar via a screw, and the objects to be displayed can be accommodated by opening and closing this surrounding wall plate. Usually, the device is configured to allow the removal to take place.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Accordingly, the conventional display case has the disadvantage that the presence of the pillars obstructs the display, making it difficult to clearly see the displayed items from all angles. Moreover, since the screws are exposed, the appearance is also poor. By the way, when configuring the surrounding wall, it is possible to use adhesive to bond the side edges of each surrounding wall plate and eliminate the pillars, but even if you do this, the pillars to which the screws are attached cannot be used. It is impossible to dispose of the screws, and furthermore, it is impossible to prevent the screws from being exposed.

The present invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and
To provide a display case in which pillars and screws are not exposed to the outside, so that objects to be displayed can be viewed well from all angles, and the appearance is also good.

(Means for solving the problem) The display case of the present invention that solves this problem has a rectangular cylindrical peripheral wall formed by joining each side end of a plurality of peripheral wall plates made of transparent plates to each other. and upper and lower lids that cover the upper and lower surfaces of the outer wall boards, and at least one of the opposing peripheral wall boards in the peripheral wall is connected to the upper and lower lids so as to be movable back and forth and horizontally rotatable. In the case, rotating coupling bodies projecting rearward are attached to upper and lower positions of the rear surface near one end of the at least one peripheral wall plate, respectively, and close the upper lid and the downward opening of the upper lid. An upper space surrounded by an opaque ceiling and a lower space surrounded by the lower lid and an opaque floor plate that closes the upward opening of the lower lid are formed, and these spaces are moved horizontally by a predetermined amount. A retractable upper support and a lower support are arranged to face each other vertically and are attached to the upper lid and the lower lid, and the lower rotation coupling body is placed on the upper surface of the front end of the lower support. and in a state in which the upper rotating coupling body is lifted from the upper surface of the front end of the upper support body,
Both upper and lower rotary connecting bodies are horizontally rotatably connected to both the upper and lower supports, and when both the upper and lower supports are in the protruding position, the at least one peripheral wall plate forms a side of the peripheral wall. At the same time, when both the upper and lower supports are at the protruding front end positions, horizontal rotation of at least one of the peripheral wall plates is permitted.

(Function) In the present invention, the rotary connector and the upper and lower supports, which hold at least one of the peripheral wall plates so as to be movable back and forth and horizontally, close the upper lid and the downward opening of the upper lid. It is concealed by an opaque ceiling and a lower lid comprising an opaque ceiling and an opaque floor plate closing an upward opening of the lower lid.

Further, by recessing both the upper and lower supports, at least one of the opposing peripheral wall plates, that is, the movable peripheral wall plate, is held unrotatably at a position forming one side of the peripheral wall.

Further, a state in which horizontal rotation of the movable peripheral wall plate is permitted by pulling out the at least one movable peripheral wall plate and causing both the upper and lower supports to protrude to the front end position;
That is, by opening a part of the peripheral wall, a state is obtained in which the displayed items can be stored and taken out.

(Example) Hereinafter, one example will be explained in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5.

The display case 1 shown in FIG. 1 includes a rectangular cylindrical peripheral wall 2, upper and lower lids 3 and 4 that cover the upper and lower surfaces of the peripheral wall 2,
That is, it consists of an upper lid body 3 as a ceiling body and a lower lid body 4 as a base. As shown in FIG. 2, an opaque ceiling looper 17 is attached to the lower surface of the ceiling body 3, that is, the downward opening, and an opaque floor plate 18 is attached to the upper surface of the base 4, that is, the upward opening. It is being

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the surrounding wall 2 is made up of three fixed rectangular wall plates that form a U-shape and are bonded between their side ends with an appropriate adhesive 5 that is transparent when cured. 6, 6, 6 and a rectangular movable peripheral wall plate 7 that closes the front opening of the U-shaped member are formed into a square cylindrical shape.

Each of the peripheral wall plates 6 and 7 is made of a transparent plate, for example, laminated glass, and each of the fixed peripheral wall plates 6 has its lower end supported by the upper surface of the lower lid 4 via an appropriate cushioning material 8. It is fixed by applying caulking 9 of silicone or the like, and its upper end is held on the upper surface of the upper lid 3 via bolts 10, and is fixedly held on the upper lid 3 and the lower lid 4. has been done.

In addition, the movable peripheral wall plate 7 has upper and lower frames 7a and 7b attached to the upper and lower ends of the laminated glass by applying caulking 11 made of silicone or the like to the upper and lower ends of the glass. It is installed as shown. Note that an appropriate cushioning material 19 is interposed between the lower end of the laminated glass and the lower frame 7b.

That is, at the upper and lower positions of the rear surface near one side end of the movable peripheral wall plate 7, that is, at the rear surface portions near one side end of the upper and lower frames 7a and 7b, there are respectively protruding rearward (to the right in FIG. 2). Rotating coupling bodies 12A and 12B are attached. On the other hand, the upper lid body 3 and the lower lid body 4 are connected to the front wall 3
It has a hollow box shape with window holes 3b and 4b formed in a and 4a, and cylindrical guide bodies 13 and 13 are fixedly installed inside the box. A circular upper support member 14A and a lower support member 14B that extend through the window holes 3b and 4b are supported so as to be slidable back and forth. Each support 14A, 14
B has large-diameter disk-shaped stoppers 14a and 14b formed at its rear end that abut against the rear end of the guide body 13, so that its forward movement is regulated within a certain range. ing. The upper rotary connecting body 12A is floating above the upper surface of the front end of the upper supporting body 14A and is horizontally rotatably connected via the vertical support shaft 15. When placed on the top of the front end,
The movable peripheral wall 7 is supported by the upper lid 3 and the lower lid 4 by being horizontally rotatably connected via a vertical support shaft 15 .

Therefore, when the movable peripheral wall plate 7 is always in the retracted position, that is, when both the upper and lower supports 14A, 14B are in the retracted position,
Front end portions of two fixed peripheral wall plates 6, 6 whose rear surfaces of the upper and lower frames 7a, 7b are joined to the front walls 3a, 4b of the upper lid body 3 and lower lid body 4, and whose side edge portions of the laminated glass portions are parallel. The position where the movable peripheral wall plate 7 joins the peripheral wall plate 7 is the peripheral wall configuration position (second
(the solid line position in the diagram, the position in Figure 3), and from this peripheral wall position, each support 14A, 14B
The stopper portions 14a, 14b abut against the rear end portion of the guide body 13, and both the upper and lower supports 14A, 14
B is configured to be able to be pulled out from the protruding front end position, that is, the front end of the U-shaped member made of the fixed peripheral wall plate 6, to a pull-out position where it is pulled out a predetermined amount forward (the chain line position in FIG. 2, the solid line position in FIG. 4).

In a state where the movable peripheral wall plate 7 is located at the peripheral wall configuration position, each support body 14A, 14B is of course
The parts connected to this, that is, each rotating connection body 12
A, 12B and the vertical support shaft 15 are all connected to the window hole 3.
b, 4b, an upper space 20A surrounded by the upper lid 3 and the opaque ceiling looper 17, and a lower space 20 surrounded by the lower lid 4 and the opaque floor plate 18.
B, and these are not exposed to the outside of the display case 1. Furthermore, by making the upper lid 3 and the lower lid 4 opaque, they are not visible from the outside. In this state, the portions of the movable peripheral wall plate 7 on both sides of the vertical support shafts 15, 15 are in contact with the front walls 3a, 4a of the ceiling body 3 and the base 4, and the fixed peripheral wall plates 6, 6. Due to this contact action, the vertical support shafts 15, 15 of the movable peripheral wall plate 7
Rotation around it is blocked. In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, a cushioning material 16 made of, for example, a transparent synthetic resin is provided between both side ends of the movable peripheral wall plate 7 and the front end of each fixed peripheral wall plate 6 that abuts against the two side ends of the movable peripheral wall plate 7. The movable peripheral wall plate 7 is interposed so that when the movable peripheral wall plate 7 is brought to the peripheral wall forming position, both the peripheral wall plates 6 and 7 will not be accidentally damaged due to their abutment. Each buffer material 16 is fixed to either the fixed peripheral wall plate 6 or the movable peripheral wall plate 7.

In addition, when the movable peripheral wall plate 7 is pulled out to the drawn-out position, the vertical support shafts 15, 15 are pulled forward by a predetermined amount, so that the upper lid body 3 and the lower lid body 4
The movable peripheral wall plate 7 is not interfered with by the front walls 3a, 4a and the fixed peripheral wall plates 6, 6, and the movable peripheral wall plate 7 is
By rotating around 5 and 15, the front side of the peripheral wall 2 can be opened wide (dashed line in Figure 4).
Objects can be easily stored in or taken out from the display case 1 through such an opening. In this case, since one end surface of the movable peripheral wall plate 7 corresponds to the front end surface of the fixed peripheral wall plate 6 with a small gap, a stopper function is exhibited, and both the upper and lower supports 14A, 14
B's involuntary immersion is regulated. The amount by which the movable peripheral wall plate 7 is pulled out is such that the support strength of the peripheral wall plate 7 by each of the supports 14A and 14B is effectively maintained, so that the rotation of the peripheral wall plate 7 cannot be blocked by interference from the upper lid 3 or the like. It is desirable to set it to the minimum level. Moreover, it goes without saying that both vertical support shafts 15, 15 are positioned on the same vertical line.

Furthermore, since the upper and lower positions of the rear surface near one end of the movable peripheral wall plate 7 are connected to both the upper and lower supports 14A and 14B via the upper and lower rotational connecting bodies 12A and 12B, the movable peripheral wall plate 17 It does not tilt even when pulled out to the drawn out position.

Furthermore, when the movable peripheral wall plate 7 is rotated forward and backward in the horizontal direction at this pull-out position, a tilting force is generated in the pull-out direction, and as a result, the upper support 14
Although a force is applied to make A further protrude and a force is applied to make the lower support 14B retract, the stopper portion 14a of the upper support 14A abuts against the rear end of the guide 13. This prevents unnecessary protrusion of the upper support body 14A, and also prevents the movable peripheral wall plate 17 and the upper and lower rotational connecting bodies 12A, 12
By pressing the lower support 14B against the cylindrical guide 13 by the gravity of B, both 13 and 14
Since the frictional force between B is increased, the lower support 14
B's unnecessary immersion is regulated. Therefore, the movable peripheral wall plate 7 can be rotated safely and smoothly.

Note that the configuration of the display case 1 according to the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and may be configured as follows, for example.

That is, in addition to drawing out and rotating only one peripheral wall plate to house and take out displayed items, in the above embodiment, the fixed peripheral wall plate 6 facing the movable peripheral wall plate 7 can also be moved with this movable peripheral wall plate 7. It is possible to configure the display in a similar manner so that objects to be displayed can be stored and taken out from two locations on the peripheral wall 2.

Further, in the embodiment, four peripheral wall plates 6, 6...
...and 7 to form the square cylindrical peripheral wall 2, but the number of peripheral wall plates is arbitrary, and the peripheral wall 2
It is possible to configure this into various rectangular tube shapes such as a rectangular tube shape and a hexagonal tube shape.

Furthermore, although the explanation was omitted in the above embodiment,
Of course, it is also possible to provide a cylinder lock or the like for locking the movable peripheral wall plate 7 or a security device for preventing theft.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As is clear from the above description, the display case of the present invention has a member for rotating at least one peripheral wall plate in order to open a part of the peripheral wall when storing and taking out items to be displayed, that is, a conventional display case. The screws in the case and the members corresponding to the pillars for attaching them are normally stored in the upper and lower spaces surrounded by the upper and lower lid bodies (the ceiling body and base in the above embodiment), the opaque ceiling looper, and the floorboard. Since it is constructed so that the peripheral wall is exposed to the outside and does not require pillars or the like that obstruct visibility, it can be constructed only from transparent peripheral wall plates.

Therefore, according to the display case of the present invention, the displayed items can be viewed clearly from all angles, and the appearance of the display case can be made extremely simple and aesthetically pleasing.

In addition, the movable peripheral wall plate is placed on the upper surface of the front end of the lower support through the upper and lower rotation connecting bodies, and is connected to the upper support so that it can freely rotate horizontally while floating above the front end of the upper support. Therefore, tilting of the movable peripheral wall plate and unnecessary protruding and retracting operations of both the upper and lower supports at the drawn-out position are restricted, and the degree of safety is improved.
