〔Example〕

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is an enlarged view of the upper front end of the open showcase.

In Figure 1, 1 is the main body of the open showcase, 9
10 is an upper exterior panel provided at the front upper end of the main body 1; 11 is a support member that supports the upper exterior panel 10; 12 is a fluorescent lamp holder; 13 is a reflection of the fluorescent lamp 9. A light rail which is a shade; 14 is a ceiling board; 15 is a front panel made of transparent or translucent material; 16 is an advertising panel made of transparent or translucent material; 15a and 15b are front plates This is a recessed part integrally formed with 15 and is a mounting part for attaching the upper and lower ends of the advertising panel.

In such a configuration, a support member 11 is provided on the upper part of the main body 1.
2 to 3 protruding from the warehouse and fixed, and this support member 1
A holder 12 and a light rail 13 are supported at the bottom of the lamp 1 , and a fluorescent lamp 9 is supported by the holder 12 . Further, a ceiling plate 14 is provided above the support member 11. The front plate 15 has its upper part fixed to the front part of the light rail 13 and is located in front of the fluorescent lamp 9. The front plate 15 is made of a transparent plate, and has a mounting portion 15a to which an advertising panel 16 can be attached.

15b is provided.

Therefore, the advertising panel 16 is attached to the mounting portions 15a and 1 of the front plate 15.
5b with its upper and lower ends supported, and the advertisement content is illuminated forward through the front plate 15 by fluorescent lamps 9.
