Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an exhibition case for displaying exhibits and making them available for viewing in museums, art galleries, etc.

[Prior Art] In this type of exhibition case, in order to illuminate the exhibits all over, it is common to place front lights and rear lights at the front and rear of the exhibition space to illuminate the exhibits from both the front and back. .

In an exhibition case where the exhibits are viewed through the glass on the top lid, a rear light to illuminate the exhibits from the back side is placed on the top of the back panel that defines the rear of the exhibition space (for example, It is customary to attach and hold the device at a certain position.

[Problem that the invention aims to solve] By the way, lighting equipment naturally requires replacement of lights due to lifespan or malfunction, cleaning and other maintenance, and inspection work, but from the viewpoint of convenience of maintenance, it is difficult to use a display with a top lid. Existing lighting fixture mounting structures in cases are extremely inconvenient to handle.

For example, even if you open the top cover to replace the rear light, not only is there a distance from the front of the case to the rear light attached to the back panel, but the light source is usually visible in front of the rear light. Since there is a light-shielding plate to blind people and a cover to provide indirect lighting to the exhibits, it is very troublesome and time-consuming to attach and detach them.

This invention is one of the lighting equipment that illuminates exhibits.
The purpose of the present invention is to provide an exhibition case that is improved so as to facilitate the maintenance of a rear light installed at the rear of an exhibition space.

[Means for solving the problem] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention
In an exhibition case in which a top lid that covers an exhibition space is hinged to the rear edge of the top surface of the case body, and the entire top lid can be opened upwardly, a light-shielding plate is suspended from the vicinity of the rear edge of the top lid, and A rear light for illuminating the exhibit is held in a portion of the inner surface of the top lid located behind the light shielding plate. Then, the holding height of this rear light is set so that when the top cover is closed, the rear light is hidden behind the light shielding plate, and when the top cover is open, the rear light is directly visible from the front side. It is characterized by

[Function] According to this configuration, when the top cover is opened, the rear light held on the inner surface changes its position together with the top cover and the light shielding plate, and is exposed to the front from being hidden by the light shielding plate. come. Therefore, it is possible to inspect, replace, or clean the rear light while directly viewing it without interfering with the light shielding plate or the like.

This type of display case, whose top lid can be opened upwards, is generally used in multiple display cases arranged horizontally next to each other, and each time there is a change in the event, the top lid is opened all at once. It is not uncommon for exhibits to be changed by opening the display. At that time, before displaying a new exhibit, a lighting test is conducted by energizing the rear lights, etc. According to the configuration of the present invention, the lighting test is conducted with the top lids of all display cases open. For example,
You can visually check and compare the rear lights of all display cases directly from the front, and easily find and replace ones with reduced light intensity, parts of which have turned dark, and which have reached the end of their lifespan. I can do it. Moreover, if this is done, dirt on the rear light can be easily detected, and cleaning thereof can be easily performed without being obstructed by the light shielding plate.

Furthermore, when the top lid is opened, not only the rear light but also the light shielding plate are retracted upward from the exhibition space.
The degree of openness of the exhibition space is greater than that of the previous model. Therefore, exhibit items can be taken in and taken out more freely, and it is possible to prevent or suppress the occurrence of problems such as valuable exhibit items coming into contact with the light-shielding plate and being damaged during exchange.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

This display case is of a top-opening type, with the top lid fully openable and closed, as shown in FIG.
The exhibition case consists of a case body 1 and a top lid 2.
The upper cover 2 is hinged to the rear edge of the upper surface of the case body 1 with a hinge 3 so as to be openable and closable.

The case body 1 has a rectangular upper frame 5 and a lower frame 6 fixed to pillars 4 erected at four corners, side plates 7 at both side openings, and a front panel 8 and a rear panel at the front and rear openings. 9, respectively, and assembled into a hollow box body. Then, the exhibit
An exhibition floor 11 is provided for placing and displaying items on it. This exhibition floor 11 has a decorative panel affixed to its upper surface, and is arranged flush with the inner frame 10 in an upper exhibition space 12 and a lower base space 1.
3 are airtightly separated. In addition, exhibition space 12
A decorative panel is attached to the surface of a back plate 14 that defines the rear part of the display and forms the background of the exhibit X. Furthermore, the base space 13 under the exhibition floor 11 is designed so that the front side thereof can be opened by opening the front panel 8 whose lower edge is hinged as an opening/closing door.

On the other hand, the upper lid 2 is made up of a lid frame 15 assembled into a rectangular hollow frame, and a transparent glass plate 16 attached with an edge placed on the inner peripheral edge of the lid frame 15. The lid frame 15 is composed of a rear side portion 15a, side portions 15b, 15b, and a front side portion 15c, and both side portions 15b have side-bent shapes corresponding to the top plate and front plate of the side plate 7. is formed. Thus, when the top lid 2 is closed, the inner surface of the lid frame 15 comes into close contact with the corresponding portion of the case body 1 via a sealing material (not shown),
The exhibition space 12 is hermetically closed.

In this top-opening display case, lighting equipment for illuminating the exhibit X placed on the display floor 11 and displayed is installed inside the display space 12 as follows.

First, the front light 17 that illuminates exhibit X from the front is
Both ends of the inner frame 10 are inserted between holders held at the tips of support legs 18 erected from both sides of the inner frame 10, and the inner frame 10 is horizontally suspended in a removable manner. The front light 17 is covered with a cover 19 on its front and upper side.

On the other hand, the rear light 20 that illuminates exhibit X from behind is
The mounting part should be moved to the upper position of the previous back plate 14 (A
position) to the inner surface of the upper lid, which is diagonally above it. That is, the mounting plates 21 are fixedly installed on both sides of the inner surface of the rear side part 15a of the lid frame, and the electrode holders 22 are held by the mounting plates 21, respectively, and both ends of the rear light 20 can be inserted between these holders 22 and removed. It is suspended horizontally. A light shielding plate 23 whose base end is engaged with the rear side portion 15a of the lid frame forming a hollow frame is suspended from the front side of the rear light 20 which is held downward with the upper lid 2 in the closed state. In other words,
A light shielding plate 23 is suspended from the vicinity of the rear edge of the upper lid 2, and a rear light 20 for illuminating the exhibit X is held at a portion of the inner surface of the upper lid 2 located behind the light shielding plate 23. As clearly shown in FIG. 1, the holding height of the rear light 20 is such that the rear light 20 is hidden behind the light shielding plate 23 when the top cover 2 is closed, and the rear light 20 is hidden behind the light shielding plate 23 when the top cover 2 is opened. The light 20 is set to be directly visible from the front side.

The front light 17 and the rear light 20, which form the main bodies of these lighting devices, are UV-cut type fluorescent lights.

In the other figures, 24 indicates an air supply passage provided on the exhibition floor 11, and 25 indicates an exhaust passage opened in the upper end frame 26 of the case body 1 to which one side of the butterfly plate 3 is fixed. Furthermore, the tip of a balancer 27 housed within the side plate 7 of the case body 1 is connected to the inner surface of the lid frame side portion 15b of the upper lid 2.

Now, if the rear light 20 that illuminates the exhibit X from behind is set as described above, its maintenance will be greatly simplified. That is, when necessary, the upper cover 2 is opened upward as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. Then, the rear side part 1 of the lid frame of the upper lid 2
The rear light 20 held on the inner surface of the light shielding plate 2
Along with the 3rd class, it changes its posture from a downward facing position to a horizontal position, making it directly visible from the front. In this state, the entire lighting fixture, including the rear lamp 20 and the electrode holder 22, can be directly observed without being obstructed by the light shielding plate 23.
Since the rear light 20 does not interfere with the installation and removal of the rear light 20, maintenance such as replacement and cleaning of the rear light 20 can be performed conveniently.

Moreover, such a top-opening display case can be used by arranging multiple units side by side in the horizontal direction, and whenever there is a change in the event, the top lid 2 can be opened all at once to replace the exhibits X. may be done. At that time, before displaying the new exhibit X, the rear light 2
A lighting test is performed by energizing the 0 etc. However, according to the configuration described above, if the lighting test is performed with the top lids 2 of all display cases open, the rear lights 20 of all display cases can be illuminated from the front side. You can directly visually check and compare them, and you can easily find and replace items that have decreased light intensity or that have darkened in part and are at the end of their lifespan. Moreover, if this is done, dirt on the rear light 20 can be easily found, and cleaning thereof can be easily performed without being obstructed by the light shielding plate 23.

Furthermore, when the top cover 2 is opened, not only the rear light 20 but also the light shielding plate 23 are retracted upward from the exhibition space 12, so that the degree of opening of the exhibition space 12 is increased compared to the conventional one. Therefore, it becomes possible to take in and take out the exhibit X more freely, and it is possible to prevent or suppress the occurrence of problems such as the valuable exhibit X coming into contact with the light-shielding plate and being scratched during exchange.

[Effects of the invention] As described above, the exhibition case of the invention has a rear light that illuminates the exhibits from the rear and a light shielding plate that prevents the rear light from entering the field of view of the viewers. The rear light is attached to and held on the inner surface of the top cover, and when the top cover is open, the rear light can be seen directly from the front. Therefore, the rear light can be easily inspected, replaced, or cleaned, and exhibits can be taken in and out more safely and more freely than in the past.
