Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a reach-in showcase having a slide rack mechanism.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, FIG. 5 shows an example of the appearance of a reach-in showcase.

The reach-in showcase 1 comprises a box-shaped case and a slide door 2 on the front surface, a lighting chamber 3 is provided in the upper part of the reach-in showcase 1, and a shelf support 4 is erected inside the case. A plurality of shelves 6 are arranged on a shelf receiver 5 attached to the. The shelves 6 are arranged side by side in the lateral direction as shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 6, and products 7 are placed on the respective shelves 6.
A space between the outer case 8 and the inner case 9 is filled with a heat insulating material 10, and a center pillar 11 is provided upright in the center of the opening on the front of the case. Reference numeral 12 is a fluorescent lamp that illuminates the inside of the case.

The reach-in showcase 1 shown in FIG.
Since the shelf 6 on which the product 7 is placed is fixed, once the product 7 is displayed on the shelf 6, it is not easy to take out the product 7 in the back, and so-called first-in first-out is difficult. In particular, the reach-in showcase 1 is considerably inconvenient because it is originally filled with products for the purpose. Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, a reach-in showcase has been developed which has a slide shelf mechanism for attaching a slider to the shelf and sliding the shelf in the front direction of the case.

FIG. 7 shows an example of the appearance of a reach-in showcase equipped with a slide shelf mechanism.

In the reach-in showcase 1 shown in the figure, a slider 13 is attached to a shelf column 4 standing upright inside the case, and the slider 13 allows the slide shelves 14a and 14b to be slid in the forward direction and pulled out. Inside the reach-in showcase 1, as shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 8, slide shelf mechanisms with sliders 13 attached to both sides of the left and right slide shelves 14a and 14b are arranged. The slide shelves 14a and 14b of FIG.

With the above structure, the slide rack 14b is pulled out in the forward direction by the slide rack mechanism as shown in the transverse sectional view of FIG. 9, and the slide racks 14a, 14b are pulled out even when the products 7 are loaded on the slide racks 14a, 14b. The product 7 can be easily put in first in first out.

[0008]

However, in the reach-in showcase, since the inner pillar 11 is structurally indispensable, for example, as shown in FIG. 9, the space between the slide shelf 14a and the slide shelf 14b at the rear of the middle pillar 11. There is a problem in that the product 7 cannot be placed on the product and a dead space 15 is generated.

The center pillar is used for any of a sliding door, a two-door door, and a three-door door, and supports the door handle or the hinge side in front of the case, seals the door, and attaches a lighting device. . However, when the slide shelf is attached, the back of the center pillar becomes a dead space, and the amount of stored products is reduced by, for example, about 10% of the whole.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a reach-in showcase provided with a slide shelf mechanism without reducing the amount of stored products.

[0011]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, at least one or more middle pillars are provided upright in the opening on the front of the case, and the case corresponds to each of a plurality of openings formed by being divided by the middle pillar. In the reach-in showcase in which the shelves equipped with slide shelf mechanisms that place products and can be pulled out in the forward direction are arranged side by side in the inner space, and these shelves are arranged in multiple stages, An intermediate shelf for placing products is fixedly arranged in a space formed behind the center pillar between the shelves arranged in parallel with each other.

[0012]

With the above structure, the products are placed on the intermediate shelves provided between the shelves arranged side by side in the lateral direction and in the space formed behind the center pillar, and the shelves are moved forward. Since it can be pulled out, the first-in first-out operation is easy and the product storage space is not wasted.

[0013]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a showcase showing an embodiment of the present invention. The appearance of the showcase in Figure 1 is
A box-like body having a space between the outer case 8 and the inner case 9 filled with a heat insulating material 10 and a slide door 2 having an opening on the front surface constitute a main body, which is almost the same as FIG. 5 or 7. Inside the inner case 9, slide shelves 1 horizontally on both sides.
4a and 14b are provided side by side, and each slide 13 has a slide mechanism that can slide the slide shelves 14a and 14b in the front-rear direction, while the product 7 is placed in the space surrounded by the slider 13 behind the center pillar 11. An intermediate shelf 16 for placing is provided. On the intermediate shelf 16, the slide shelves 14a and 14b can be pulled out in the forward direction (the direction of the arrow in the drawing) with the product 7 placed thereon, as shown in FIG.

FIG. 3 is a simplified front view for explaining the slide mechanism in detail.

The illustrated slide mechanism has the same structure on both the left and right sides. The slide mechanism on the left side will be described first. First, the slide mechanism is attached to the shelf support 4 and the center pillar 11 which are attached to the shelf support 4 installed upright on the inner case 9. Each of the protruding portions 5a of the rack support 5 thus fitted is fitted into a mounting hole formed in the fixed base, and the fixed base 17 is laterally mounted. Attachment plates 18 for attaching the fixed sliders 13a are fixed to both sides of the fixed base 17, and the fixed sliders 13a are attached to the rising portions of the respective attachment plates 18.

On the other hand, mounting plates 19 for mounting the movable part sliders 13b are fixed to both sides of the bottom surface of the slide shelf 14a, and the movable part sliders 13b are mounted on the lower part of each mounting plate 19. The above-mentioned movable part slider 13b is slidably fitted and inserted by the fixed part slider 13a, the intermediate slider 13c and the four bearings 13d to form a slide mechanism.

The intermediate shelf 16 is arranged in a space formed by the right end of the left side slide shelf 14a, the left end of the right side slide shelf 14b, and the center pillar 11. The intermediate shelf 16 has an H-shaped cross section and has leg portions. 16b is fixed by bridging the left fixed base 17 and the right fixed base 17. The flat portion 16a of the intermediate shelf 16 is used as a mounting table for the product 7, and the rising portions 1 on both side surfaces are provided.
6c is a stopper portion for preventing product fall.

With the above construction, when the right side slide rack 14b is pulled out forward, the slide rack 14b is gradually moved away from the fixed slider 13a so that the movable part slider 13b is separated from the fixed part slider 13a as shown in the right side view of FIG. It is pulled out in the direction of the arrow shown. Also, if the slide shelf 14b is pushed backward,
The movable part slider 13b slides by the intermediate slider 13c and the four bearings 13d, and the fixed part slider 1
The slide shelf 14b is inserted into the reach 3a and is housed inside the reach-in showcase 1.

Thus, since the intermediate shelf is provided in the space behind the middle pillar of the reach-in showcase with the slide shelf mechanism, the first-in first-out operation is easy, and there is no dead space as in the conventional case, and the storage volume of the product is increased.

[0021]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the intermediate shelf is provided in the space formed between the slide shelves arranged side by side in the lateral direction and behind the center pillar, the product The reach-in showcase is easy to put in and out without reducing the storage volume.
