Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to the structure of the front lower part of an open show case.

(Prior Art) Generally, a decorative plate is attached to the lower front of an open show case to cover dangerous parts such as protrusions or cuts, and to improve the aesthetic appearance.

Conventionally, when attaching a decorative plate to the lower front surface of an open show case, screws or the like are generally used.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) However, when attaching the decorative plate with screws as described above, the assembly work is difficult, especially when it is a long case like a large show case, and requires only one person to assemble it. There is a problem in that it is impossible or requires extremely high skill for assembly by a single worker.

On the other hand, if it is necessary to replace the decorative plate after installing the show case, screws and the like must be removed before replacing it, which poses a problem in that the work becomes extremely troublesome.

An object of the present invention is to provide an open show case in which it is extremely easy to assemble a decorative plate and which can be securely assembled.

(Means for Solving the Problems) According to the present invention, a frame body is fixed to the upper end of the wall main body at the lower front of the open show case and has an open front side, and the frame body is arranged along the front surface of the wall main body, The upper part is formed into a substantially U-shaped cross section with an opening on the front surface, the upper part is fixedly held within the frame, and a downward receiving groove is formed at the upper end, while an upward receiving groove is formed at the lower end. a support plate material having the lower end fixed thereto; an upper pressing member fixed to the frame body so as to cover the upper end of the frame body and having one end bent and engaged with the downward receiving groove; a lower pressing member fixed to the lower end of the support plate so as to cover the lower end, one end bent and engaged with the upward receiving groove, and both ends of the upper pressing member and the lower pressing member respectively connected to the bent portions thereof. a decorative plate disposed along the support plate material so as to be in contact with the support plate material; and a decorative plate disposed between the support plate material and the decorative plate, and biasing the decorative plate in the front direction so that both ends of the decorative plate There is obtained a front lower structure of an open show case characterized in that the structure has a biasing member for pressing the upper and lower pressing members against the bent portions of the upper pressing member and the lower pressing member, respectively.

(Example) The present invention will be described below based on an example.

FIG. 2 schematically shows an example of a frozen/refrigerated open case to which the present invention can be applied.

Referring to FIG. 2, an air passage 2 is formed along the inner surface of a heat insulating wall 1 having a substantially C-shaped cross section, and a cooler 3 and a blower 4 are provided in this air passage 2. The air is cooled by the cooler 3 and the blower 4, and then straightened by the rectifier 6 from the outlet 5 at the lower part of the front surface and discharged into the open front part 7 to form an air curtain 8. This air curtain 8
Most of the air formed is taken in through an inlet 9 provided at the lower front, thereby cooling and keeping the interior 10 cold. In addition, 11
indicates a product display shelf.

An embodiment in which the present invention is applied to an open show case as described above is shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B as an enlarged sectional view and an enlarged perspective view of only the front lower part, respectively.

Referring to FIGS. 1a and 1b, a heat insulating wall 1 has a heat insulating material 14 interposed between two iron plates 12 and 13 having a space between them. is configured.

A frame 15 having a substantially U-shaped cross section and an open front is fixed to the upper end of the main wall. On the other hand, on the front of the main wall is a support metal fitting 1 with one end bent forward.
6 is fixed with screws. Reference numeral 17 indicates a decorative support plate, and the upper part of the support plate 17 is formed into a substantially U-shaped cross section, and a downward receiving groove 171 is formed at the upper end. On the other hand, at the lower end of the decorative support plate 17, protrusions 172 and 173 are formed which protrude forward and backward, respectively, as shown in the figure.
An upward receiving groove 174 is provided on the upper end surface of the member 72 . Further, the end of the protrusion 173 is bent downward.

This decorative support plate 17 is screwed to the support fitting 16 at the protruding part 173, and is screwed to the frame 15 at the upper part together with an internal partition plate 18 in which an upper pressing member and an inlet 9, which will be described later, are formed. and are arranged along the main part of its lower wall. The upper pressing member 19 whose one end is fixed to the frame 15 with a screw is arranged so as to cover the upper surface of the frame 15, and the other end is bent and engaged with the downward receiving groove 171. There is. On the other hand, decorative support plate 17
The lower end of the protrusion 173 has a bent portion 173a.
One end of the lower pressing member 2 is screwed to cover the lower end of the decorative support plate 17, and the other end is bent and engaged with the upward receiving groove 174.
0 is placed.

A biasing member (for example, a cushion) 21 is arranged and fixed approximately at the lower center of the decorative support plate 17. Further, 22 indicates a decorative plate, both ends of which are bent.

The device for the decorative plate 22 will now be described.

The decorative plate 22 is attached to the decorative support plate 17 as shown by the broken line.
, and rotate the decorative plate 22 as shown by the dashed arrow. In this state, the upper end of the decorative plate 22 is in contact with the wall 171a of the downward receiving groove 171, while the lower end of the decorative plate 22 is in contact with the protrusion 172.
away from the top surface. Next, the decorative plate 22 is lowered downward as shown by the solid arrow, and brought into contact with the upper surface of the protrusion 172 (the upper end of the wall 174a of the upward receiving groove 174). At this time, the upper end portion of the decorative plate 22 comes into contact with the bent portion 19a of the upper pressing member 19. When the decorative plate 22 is disposed in this manner, the decorative plate 22 is biased by the cushion 21 (in the direction shown by the dashed line), so that the upper and lower ends of the decorative plate 22 are located at the bent portions of the upper pressing member 19, respectively. 19a and the bent portion 20a of the lower pressing member 20. As a result, the decorative plate 22 is firmly fixed. Note that 23 is a front plate, and its lower end (not shown) is fixed to the wall main body.

To remove the decorative plate 22, lift the decorative plate 22 along the decorative support plate 17, rotate it so as to lift the lower end upward, and pull out the decorative plate 22 horizontally. That is, it can be done in the reverse order of installation.

(Effects of the invention) As explained above, according to the invention, since the approximately U-shaped cross section is formed at the upper part of the support plate material,
When attaching the decorative plate to the lower front of the open case, insert one end of the decorative plate into the approximately U-shaped portion of the support plate, rotate this end toward the front through the approximately U-shaped portion, and then The decorative plate can be attached to the lower front of the open case by simply moving the decorative plate downward along the support plate.
Moreover, when removing the decorative plate, it is sufficient to perform it in the reverse order of installation. As described above, in the present invention, it is much easier to attach and remove the decorative plate than in the past, and the appearance is good because all the screws and the like are hidden. Another advantage is that the decorative board is less likely to be damaged.
