Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a basket which is provided inside, for example, a frozen showcase and which stores products.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 7 shows a vertical sectional view of a frozen showcase 1 of this kind, and FIG. 8 shows a perspective view of a basket 100 which has been conventionally used in the showcase 1. The showcase 1 has a storage chamber 4 formed inside a heat insulating box 3 having an opening 2 above, and a storage pipe 4 is provided outside the inner box 5 and a cooler 7 provided above the rear part of the storage chamber 4. The inside is cooled to the freezing temperature. The opening 2 is openably and closably closed by two slide type glass doors 8, and the basket 100 is stored and installed in the storage chamber 4 through the opening 2.

As shown in FIG. 8, the basket 100 is assembled by welding the ends of a plurality of substantially U-shaped wire rods 101 to a rectangular opening frame 102, and is opened upward. The basket 100 is for organizing and storing the products such as ice cream originally stored in the showcase 1 so as not to collapse, and the depth thereof is almost equal to the depth of the storage chamber 4.

[0004]

Therefore, it is good when the basket 100 is full of products, but when the number of products is small, the products cannot be taken out unless the hands are deeply inserted into the storage chamber 4. Further, since the product is only on the bottom of the storage room 4, the volume feeling is lost. Therefore, in the past, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 50-29438 (A47F3 / 0)
As in 4), set the height of the basket to about half that of the storage room and place the basket on the bottom of the storage room when there are many products. However, since the height of the basket becomes low, there is a problem that the effect of holding the product when the basket is placed on the bottom is impaired.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional technical problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a basket capable of changing the height of a product mounting surface with a simple structure.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, a basket main body 13 having an upper opening, a mounting portion 16 and the mounting portion 16 are provided.
The basket 10 is composed of the bottom raising member 14 having the engaging portion 18 and the grip portion 19 extending upward from the placing portion with the engaging portion 18 engaged with the opening edge of the basket body 13. 16 is located above the bottom portion 13A of the basket main body, and the mounting portion 16 can be placed on the bottom portion 13A of the basket main body when the engagement portion 18 is disengaged from the opening edge of the basket main body.

[0007]

When there are many products to be stored in the basket 10, the placing portion 16 of the bottom raising member 14 is placed on the bottom portion 13A of the basket body.
When placed on, the entire storage volume of the basket body 13 can be used for storing products. When the number of products is low, the handle portion 19 of the bottom raising member 14 is lifted and the engaging portion 18 is engaged with the opening edge of the basket body 13, so that the placing portion 16 is positioned above the basket body bottom portion 13A. The product placement surface rises.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings. 1 is a perspective view of a basket 10 of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the above-mentioned showcase 1 to which the basket 10 is applied, and FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. The structure of the showcase 1 is the same as that of FIG. 7, and the same reference numerals in the drawing denote the same parts, and the description thereof will be omitted here.

In FIG. 1, a basket 10 (two types of baskets 10 are shown in the figure, but the structure is the same except for the difference in cross-sectional size) is composed of a rectangular opening frame 12 and a plurality of substantially U-shaped wire rods 11. It comprises a basket body 13 assembled by welding the ends, and a bottom raising member 14 attached to the basket body 13.

The basket main body 10 has a depth substantially equal to the depth of the storage chamber 4, and the opening frame 12 at the upper end opening edge thereof is inclined so that it can be easily accommodated in the storage chamber 4 from the opening 2. The bottom portion 13A is smaller than the opening frame 12, and the bottom is thinner than the top as a whole. On the other hand, the bottom raising member 14
As shown in FIG. 4, a plate-shaped mounting portion 16 and this mounting portion 1
Two engaging arms 17, 17 which are welded to the back side of the 6 and extend upward at both ends; an engaging portion 18 formed by bending the upper end of the engaging arm 17 outward in an inverted U shape; It is composed of a grip portion 19 which is fixed between the engaging arms 17 and is bent upward and pulled around. The mounting portion 16 has a size smaller than the bottom portion 13A of the basket body 13, and the engaging arm 17,
17 is placed on the mounting portion 16 so as to be positioned within the space between the wire rods 11.
Is attached to.

Next, the basket 10 is stored and installed in the storage room 4 of the showcase 1 as shown in FIG. When there are many products to be stored in the showcase 1, the bottom raising member 1 as shown in FIG.
The mounting portion 16 of No. 4 is mounted on the bottom portion 13A of the basket body 13. At this time, the engaging arms 17 and 17 are connected to the wire rods 11 and 11.
Since it is located in between, the engaging portion 18 faces the outside from the space between the wire rods 11, 11 and does not reduce the storage volume of the basket 10. Further, since the bottom of the basket main body 13 is thinner than the top, the engaging portions 1
8 will face, and it will not disturb the adjacent basket 10. Further, the handle portion 19 is located along the inside of the wire 11. In this state, the storage volume of the basket 10 becomes substantially the same as the internal volume of the basket body 13, so that a large amount of products can be stored.

Next, when the number of commodities is reduced, the bottom raising member 1 is held by holding the grip 19 while the commodities are placed on the placing section 16.
4 is lifted to engage the engaging portion 18 with the opening frame 12. This state is shown in FIGS. At this time, the mounting portion 16 is located above the bottom portion 13A of the basket body 13 and is raised to a position approximately half the height dimension thereof. Further, the handle portion 19 faces upward from the opening frame 12. As a result, the mounting portion 16
The product placed on the top is raised to the bottom so that the product can be easily taken out and the volume feeling is improved.

When replenishing the product, the handle portion 19 is again used.
And lift the bottom raising member 14 slightly to disengage the engaging portion 18 from the opening frame 12, and place the placing portion 16 on the basket body 13
It may be placed on the bottom portion 13A of the. Also, the bottom raising member 1
Reference numeral 4 is not limited to that shown in FIG. 4, and the mounting portion 16 may be formed into a bowl shape by a plurality of wires 20 as shown in FIG. This reduces adverse effects on the circulation of cold air in the storage chamber 4.

[0014]

According to the basket of the present invention, it is possible to change the height of the placing surface of the product very easily.
It is possible to improve the ease of taking out and the volume feeling of the product when the product is small, while ensuring the storage capacity when the product is large.
