Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an open show case, and particularly to the equipment structure of a lighting section.

[Prior art] In a normal open show case, a long horizontal lighting light is provided on the front of the case body, that is, above the surface where the opening for taking out the product is provided, and the light illuminates the interior of the case body. lighting. However, in that case, the light from the illumination lamp is blocked by the shelf inside the case body, resulting in many areas not being illuminated. On the other hand, providing illumination lights for each article display area within the case body increases the heat load within the case body, which is not preferable for freezing or refrigerating type show cases.

Recently, so-called overhang type devices have been proposed in which the lighting lamps are located farther forward from the front of the case body. According to this, since there are few areas obstructed by the shelf, it is possible to relatively well illuminate the inner part of the case body, and also to illuminate the passage in front of the case body at the same time.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, in the case of conventional overhang type open show cases, the dimensions from the front of the case body to the lighting section are predetermined, so depending on the environment of the equipment location, If the lighting unit collides with equipment in the installation room, the installation position and posture may be restricted.
Depending on the posture and dimensions of the shelves, the arrangement of products, etc., it may be impossible to illuminate the inside of the case body sufficiently brightly.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an open show case in which the above-mentioned problems and drawbacks are solved by providing a mounting position of a lighting section that is movable in the front-back direction.

A further object of the present invention is to provide an open show case in which the direction of illumination can be adjusted according to the position of the illumination section in the front and back direction.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an overhang type open show case that can reduce the planar transparent area during transportation and reduce transportation costs.

[Means for Solving the Problems] According to the present invention, a case body is provided with an opening for taking out products on the front surface, a channel-shaped arm member is provided on the upper surface of the case body so as to protrude forward, a structure in which the front end of the arm member is movable back and forth, an illumination light storage section, and an illumination light storage section mounting section in which the illumination light storage section is attached to the front end of the arm member; The part has an angle adjustment plate fixed to the upper surface of the illumination lamp storage part, and a thumbscrew that attaches the angle adjustment plate to the side surface of the front end of the arm member, thereby allowing the illumination lamp storage part to be fixed to the upper surface of the illumination lamp storage part. There is obtained an open show case characterized in that the arm member is attached to the front end thereof so that the attachment direction can be rotated around a horizontal axis parallel to the front surface of the case body.

[Example] An example will be described below with reference to the drawings.

First, in the frozen or refrigerated open show case shown in Fig. 1, the upper surface of the case body 2, which has an insulating structure and has an opening 1 for taking out products on the front side, is made up of channel members extending back and forth near the left and right ends, respectively. A guide 3 is fixedly attached. An elongated channel-shaped arm member 4 is slidably inserted into the guide 3. As a result, the arm member 4 is movable back and forth while being guided by the guide 3.

At the front ends of the pair of arm members 4, a lighting lamp storage section 5 that is long in the left and right directions is attached. The illumination lamp storage section 5, which is thus made movable back and forth in a drawer manner, can have several illumination bodies 6, such as fluorescent lamps, on its lower surface. A power cord 7 for connecting the lighting body 6 to a power source is led along the inside of the channel-shaped arm member 4 to the top surface of the case body 2, and is connected to the power source using a connector 8. As a result, the appearance is prevented from being obstructed by the power cord 7.

Furthermore, a female screw hole is formed on the top surface of the guide 3,
A thumbscrew 9 is screwed into this female threaded hole as shown in FIG. 2, and the tip of this thumbscrew 9 presses the arm member 4 downward.
This prevents the back and forth movement of the lamp storage unit 5 and the lowering of the illumination lamp storage unit 5. Note that it is preferable to provide a scale 11 on the arm member 4 so that the position at which the illuminating lamp storage section 5 is pulled out can be confirmed at a glance.

The illumination lamp storage part 5 is attached to the arm member 4 by using an angle adjustment plate 13, a spring washer 14, a thumbscrew 15, etc. fixed to the upper surface of the illumination lamp storage part 5, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. This is done using That is, the angle adjustment plate 13 is provided on the side surface of the arm member 4.
, the thumb screw 1 is tightened via the spring washer 14.
Attach by step 5. As a result, the illumination lamp storage section 5
is mounted so that its mounting direction can be adjusted steplessly around a horizontal axis parallel to the front surface of the case body 2, that is, around the axis of the thumbscrew 15. After setting the mounting direction, firmly tighten the butterfly screw 15.

Furthermore, as is clear from FIG. 5, a recess 21 is provided in the decorative plate 19 at the upper front of the case body 2, so that when the illumination lamp storage section 5 is pushed in, the rear part thereof enters into the recess 21. . According to this, when the illumination light storage part 5 is pushed in and used, the mutual gap between the front surface of the case body 2 and the rear surface of the illumination light storage part 5 is hidden, and the cut end surface of the rear part of the illumination light storage part 5 is hidden. Since it will be hidden, the appearance will not be damaged. Note that instead of the recessed portion 21, as shown in FIG. 6, an inclined surface 22 may be provided at the upper end of the front surface of the case body 2.

In addition, in the above description, the front end of the arm member 4 is movable back and forth by sliding as a whole; however,
The arm member 4 itself may have an expandable structure.

[Effects of the invention] According to such an open show case, the mounting position of the lighting section is movable in the front and rear directions, so it can be adjusted according to the user's preference when changing the shelf position or shelf angle, or when displaying different products. It is convenient because the mounting position of the lighting section can be arbitrarily and easily adjusted according to the environment of the installation location. Furthermore, since there is no need to carry out the installation work of the lighting section at the installation site of the show case, the work at the installation site can be significantly omitted. Moreover, since the lighting section is a pull-out type, it has the advantage that it is convenient to store it in the back of the device so that it does not take up much bulk when being transported. In addition, the lighting section is rotatably adjustable, so by adjusting the direction of illumination according to the mounting position of the lighting section, it is possible to appropriately illuminate the interior of the refrigerator, and at the same time illuminate the passage in front of the case body. I can do it.
