There are types that have one light installed horizontally in each column one by one, and one light is also installed on the top of the refrigerator, and one type that has one light installed on both the left and right ends of a small showcase. For example, one example of the latter type is the structure shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 61-25582. In other words, inside the showcase body, which has three opening/closing doors on the front, two fluorescent lamps are fixed vertically on the left and right walls of the main body, and only the two fluorescent lamps in this fixed state are visible. The interior of the warehouse is lit.

(c) Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, the conventional structure shown in the above publication is sufficient when the width of the showcase body is small (3 shaku or less), but when the width is wider than that, the illumination The effect will be insufficient. In addition to the fluorescent lights at both ends of the left and right sides, if you add one in the middle, this problem will disappear, but in the case of an open showcase, the horizontal shelves may need to be removed for cleaning, and if they are fixed, they will get in the way. . Furthermore, in the method of attaching one interior light to each column, the installation work when replacing them is difficult in a small refrigerator, and the number of fluorescent lights used increases, which is uneconomical. Furthermore, in either case, the fluorescent lights are fixed, so if you want to illuminate a particular product well to enhance the display effect, you must relocate it near the fluorescent light.

As described above, conventional refrigerator interior lights still have several problems.

The present invention solves the above problems and provides an interior light for an open showcase in which several interior lights are arranged vertically on the front of the open showcase so that they can be easily attached/detached and rotated. The purpose is to provide

(d) Means for Solving the Problems In the refrigerator interior light of the present invention, a mounting member is inserted and pivoted into the upper part of a fluorescent light mounting cover on which a fluorescent light is mounted vertically. An elastic member placed between the upper part of the light mounting cover is used to bias it upwardly, and a mounting member is also pivotally attached to the lower part of the fluorescent light mounting cover, and these upper and lower mounting members are used to attach the front open part of the storage room to the upper part of the storage chamber. When installing, the locking pieces provided on the lower mounting member properly lock into the cold air suction holes that are arranged horizontally near the bottom of the front opening of the storage chamber, and the fluorescent lamp mounting cover is removably installed. , can be freely rotated left and right by these vertical mounting members.

(E) Function A plurality of cold air suction holes are provided in the lateral direction near the bottom of the front opening of the storage chamber, while an appropriate wall is provided above the opening. Therefore, when attaching the fluorescent lamp mounting cover, first, the tip of the upper mounting member is abutted and engaged with the upper wall portion, and the entire fluorescent lamp mounting cover is pushed upward to compress and deform the elastic member. After doing so, insert the locking piece of the lower mounting member into the cold air suction hole and lock it, and when you release your hand, the restoring force of the elastic member will push the entire fluorescent lamp mounting cover downward, allowing the locking piece and the cold air to escape. The locking relationship with the suction hole is strongly maintained. The mounting position can be freely changed by changing the positional relationship between the lower mounting member and the cold air suction hole. The fluorescent lamp mounting cover is pivoted in the vertical direction by the upper and lower mounting members, and is swingable from side to side, so that the illumination direction can be changed.
