However, with such a conventional top frame structure, the front frame material facing the customer obstructs the view of the products displayed in the show case.
There are problems such as dividing the display, making it difficult to see the product, and damaging the display effect.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a structure of a ceiling frame that is assembled to the front surface of the ceiling frame without using a frame material, and to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems.

[Means to solve the problem]

The ceiling frame for a show case of the present invention has a connecting member that connects the front end of the side frame and the front vertical frame of the show case integrally on the left and right sides of the top frame, and has a hollow part inside, and an adjustment plate is tightened in the hollow part. This connection member is connected to the left and right side frames of the top frame and the vertical frame as a pair with the adjustment plates facing each other, and a wire rod with a length slightly shorter than the width of the top frame is formed. Both ends of the adjustment plate are attached to the adjustment plates facing each other on the left and right sides.

[Effect]

The wire rods, whose ends are supported by the connecting members facing each other on the left and right sides, are tensioned by tightening the adjustment plate and become straight. The tensioned wire supports the inside of the butt end of the top glass and the front glass, keeping both the top glass and the front glass stable, and
Maintain a constant spacing between the left and right side frames in front of the top frame. Further, the wire rods pull the left and right side frames inwardly, thereby preventing the left and right side frames from opening outward when the show case is moved. Moreover, the wire rod is hidden inside the butt end of the top glass and the front glass, so that no blind spot is created in the front of the case. Since there is no frame material that obstructs the view at the upper front of the show case, it is possible to easily see the displayed products in the show case, and to achieve a display effect that is not divided.
