Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a refrigerating open showcase in which openings for inserting and removing products are formed on three sides.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a refrigerating open showcase installed in a central portion of a store such as a supermarket and having openings for putting products in and out in three directions, a conventional refrigerating open showcase, for example, FIGS.
There is a three-sided open-around showcase shown in. This is because the three showcase bodies 18, 19, 20 are arranged in a U shape and connected to each other.
The display shelves 24 of 20 are directly connected to those of the adjacent showcases, and the openings 21, 22, 23 of each showcase main body 18, 19, 20 are continuous to integrally form openings on three sides. Is.

[0003]

If a showcase having openings on three sides is constructed by such an around type refrigerating open showcase, the openings are formed continuously on the three sides, so that the outside air enters. Since the amount is large and a large refrigerating capacity is required, it is difficult to use a showcase with a built-in refrigerator. Further, among the three showcases to be connected, the middle one needs to be integrally formed with the display shelf at a corner portion which is a connecting portion with an adjacent showcase, and is different from the other two showcases. It will be costly because it will be produced separately in different shapes.

Further, since the three surfaces are formed as continuous open surfaces, the structure becomes complicated in order to secure sufficient strength.

The present invention eliminates the inconveniences of the above-mentioned conventional example, and can form an opening having continuity in three directions with a simple construction by simply combining standard cases, which is inexpensive, excellent in strength, and frozen. The aim is to provide a refrigerated showcase with a large capacity.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention connects three showcase main bodies having an opening for loading and unloading products in the front in a U-shaped arrangement and connects them in the middle. The gist of the invention is to form the left and right side plates of the showcase body with transparent plates and the back plate with a mirror plate.

[0007]

According to the present invention, when three showcase bodies having openings for putting products in and out are arranged and connected in a U shape, the left and right side plates of the showcase body located in the center are connected. Since it is made of a transparent plate, the inside of the showcase in the middle of the showcase can be seen through the transparent plate from the front opening side of the showcase body on both sides. In addition, the back plate of the middle showcase body is located at the side of the showcase body on both sides where it connects with the middle showcase body. The inside of the product storage in the case body is reflected on this mirror plate. This creates continuity between the showcase bodies on both sides and the middle showcase body.

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 is a perspective view of a main part showing an embodiment of a refrigerating showcase of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a side view of the same as above, and FIG. 3 is a plan view of the same as above. The refrigerating showcases of the present invention are the same three standard products. The showcase bodies 1, 5 and 6 are arranged with the other showcase bodies 5 and 6 on the left and right sides of the back of the showcase body 1 with the showcase body 1 as the center, and the connecting member 1
When 0 is set, the whole is connected in a U shape.

As is well known in the art, the basic structure of the showcase main bodies 1, 5 and 6 is such that the front and rear openings 12 and 1 for putting in and taking out products are provided.
3, 14 respectively, and the inside of the main body is divided by duct plates into commodity storages 15, 16, 17 and a cold air circulation duct, and a cooler is arranged in the cold air circulation duct to form the upper and lower ends of the cold air circulation duct. Are formed in the cold air outlet and the cold air inlet, respectively, and the display shelves 24 are provided in the product storages 15, 16, 17.

Showcase bodies 1, 5, 6 having the above-mentioned structure
Among these, as a configuration of the side plates 2 and 3 attached to both left and right sides of the showcase body 1 arranged in the center, for example, the right side plate 2 will be described as shown in FIGS.
A front portion of the main body 2a formed of a heat insulating wall, that is, the opening 12 side is largely cut out, and a transparent plate 2b such as glass is fitted therein.

Further, the outer surfaces of the back plates 7 and 8 attached to the left and right back surfaces of the showcase body 1 are constituted by end plates 9 to form reflecting surfaces.

By combining the other showcase bodies 5 and 6 in a U-shape with the showcase body 1 to which the side plates 2 and 3 and the back plates 7 and 8 are attached, for example, the side showcase body 5 is When standing in front of the opening 13 and looking into the product storage box 16, the inside of the product storage box 15 on the side of the showcase body 1 can be seen through the transparent plate 2a of the side plate 2 at the same time. A mirror plate 9 on the back side of the showcase body 1 is located in the section, and the inside of the product storage 16 of the showcase body 5 can be seen to be reflected by this mirror plate 9, so that it is between the showcase body 5 and the showcase body 1. A continuous feeling is obtained.

FIG. 4 illustrates a second embodiment, and when the back plates 7 and 8 are attached to the back surface of the showcase body 1, a gap 11 is provided between the showcase body 1 and the backplate. As a result, since the gap 11 can be used as a heat exhaust port, the showcase can be built in the refrigerator.

[0014]

As described above, the refrigerated open showcase of the present invention is excellent in strength because a showcase having openings on three sides can be formed by combining standard showcase main bodies. The product can be obtained at low cost. In addition, the openings of each showcase are not physically continuous, but since the appearance is continuous, the three side openings are divided by the side plates while ensuring the desired display effect. As a result, the amount of invasion of outside air is reduced, the refrigerating capacity is improved, and the built-in refrigerator can be used.
