DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] The present invention relates to a showcase in which a product is placed on an exhibition stand for display, and more specifically, for holding the exhibition stand rotatably. Regarding the improvement of the structure of.

2. Description of the Related Art It is very convenient if a shelf on which a product is placed is rotatably held when the product to be placed is taken in and out from one direction, and it is particularly effective for a showcase with a door. Therefore, in order to rotatably hold the shelves, it is common practice to pierce the pillars in the center of the shelves and rotatably arrange the shelves around the pillars. The gazette is also an example.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the above publication, grooves are formed radially from the center of rotation in order to effectively drain the water droplets accumulated on the shelf.
When the product is placed on the shelf, the load is concentrated on the central portion because the shelf is centrally supported. This groove also works effectively in terms of reinforcement. However, in order to rotatably hold the shelves, upper and lower fixing members are required, and when cleaning the shelves, the upper and lower fixing members must be removed and the shelves must be pulled out from the columns. And in order to pull out from the pillar, it is necessary to remove the member fixing the pillar,
There was a problem that it was difficult to attach and detach the shelves.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, it is a technical object of the present invention to provide a showcase capable of easily attaching and detaching a display table that is rotatably held.

[Structure of Invention]

Means for Solving the Problems A showcase of the present invention is one in which an exhibition stand for placing products on the bottom of a product storage section surrounded by a see-through member is arranged, and the display table is provided on the outer peripheral side of the lower surface. A rotary recess having an annular inner wall and an outer wall, notches formed at predetermined intervals on the inner wall and the outer wall of the rotary recess, and fitted into the rotary recess. And a plurality of rotation assisting members having a rotating body that supports the rotating recess in a state of being fitted in the cutouts of the inner wall and the outer wall, and inserting each of the rotating bodies into the rotating recess. This is a display stand that is pivotally and detachably held.

Action The rotation recess is formed on the outer peripheral side of the lower surface of the display stand to improve the strength of the display stand, and at least three or more rotation assisting members supporting the display stand are provided. Is reduced compared to the one supported in one place.
In other words, since the rotation recess is located on the outer peripheral side, when a product is placed on the center side of the display stand, the load is distributed and received by each rotation auxiliary member, and compared to the one supported at one place. The load applied to one piece becomes smaller. On the other hand, since the rotating body fits in the rotating recess, the horizontal movement of the display stand is restricted and rattling of the display stand is suppressed. Further, when the display table is rotated, the rotating body is fitted into the notches formed in the inner wall and the outer wall of the rotation recess at every rotation of a predetermined angle, and the rotation of the display table is restricted and fitted. It is possible to put out the products stored in the store first, or store new products in the product storage section. As a result, the so-called first-in first-out work of the products can be easily performed with the rotation of the display stand being restricted. .

The product storage section (12) is surrounded by a see-through member (50) which is formed of a transparent body and has a cubic curved surface, that is, a substantially hemispherical shape, and a transparent resin such as acrylic acid resin is used as the transparent body. Let's call it the hood (50).

The base (11) has a ventilation chamber (13) formed in the upper stage and an illumination chamber (14) in the lower stage, and both chambers (13) and (14) have a heat insulating material (15A) and a heat insulating property. It is partitioned by a translucent member such as transparent glass (15B). And ventilation room (13)
Is a high-pressure space that introduces the air cooled in the machine box (20) carried through the air duct (30) (referred to as cold air) and guides this cold air to the product storage section (12). The part (16) and the cool air return part (17) as a low pressure space for collecting the air (which is called return cold air) after cooling the product storage part (12) and discharging it to the blower pipe (30). It is independently partitioned.

An example of the ventilation chamber (13) will be described. A cool air supply unit (1
In 6), the cold air introduced from the cold air inlet (42) provided on one side is sequentially swirled to the central portion, and goes upward from the opening (40) formed at the center of the upper surface toward the lower surface of the turntable (44). The first standing wall (48A) and the second standing wall (4
8B), and an upper plate partially having a rising opening (40) is provided on the upper surfaces of the compatible walls (48A) and (48B) (in this example, integrally formed with the standing wall). Here, the cold air introduced from the cold air inlet (42) is directed along the second standing wall (48B) and further swirls along the first standing wall (48A) to move to the center and rise to the rising opening (40). Is guided to the lower surface of the turntable (44) and is blown into the product storage section (12) from a blowout port (58) formed in the turntable (44) described later.

In addition, the cool air return section (17) collects the return cool air from the suction port (59) formed in the turntable (44) described later,
At the partition plate (45), gradually point downward and the third standing wall (45
The cold air is sequentially swirled on the outer surface of B) and guided inward, and is led out to the return pipe (32) of the blower pipe (30) described later from the return cold air outlet (77) that is arranged in parallel with the cold air inlet (42). To do. Further, it is desirable that the members forming the cool air supply unit (16) and the cool air return unit (17) are made of a light-transmitting material such as a milky white resin.

On the other hand, the illuminating room (14) is a substantially central part of the main body (11A) that constitutes the outer shape of the base (11) by forming an illuminating lamp, which is a part of the illuminating device, such as a fluorescent lamp (46) with a transparent resin. It is installed in.
In addition, as the transparent glass (15B), a double-layered transparent glass in which a plurality of glasses (three in this example) are arranged in parallel with a space between each other is used to perform heat insulation by an air layer and to transmit the transparent glass. It has a light property. Then, various electric parts such as a glow lamp and a ballast are arranged in the central space surrounded by the fluorescent lamp (46).

Then, on the turntable (44) located at the bottom of the product storage section (12), a container (which is referred to as a beverage container) (53) in which a product to be sold such as a drug solution or a soft drink is enclosed is placed, When a large number of beverage containers (53) are placed, it has a product partitioning function that reliably forms a gap between the beverage containers (53) and that the beverage containers (53) are lined up from the outside. For easy confirmation, the turntable (44) is configured so that it also functions as a shelf formed by changing the height position of the portion that receives the bottom. That is, the turntable (44) has a circular shape in a plan view, and has a spherical shape in a side view (specifically, a curved surface of a part of a sphere) so that the center has the highest height and the height decreases from the center to the periphery. The lower part is rotatably held by the rotation assisting member (70).

In addition, the turntable (44) has a shape (for example, a circle or a rectangle) whose shape in plan view due to the product partition is substantially the same as the bottom shape of the product to be displayed (referred to as a limited product).
Arrange multiple recesses (54) in order. In this example,
24 circular recesses (55) on the outermost circumference and 18 circular recesses (55) on the inner side are arranged in an annular shape, and the inner circular recess (55B) is located at a higher position than the outermost circular recess (55A). It is formed with a step so that 10 square recesses (56) are formed inside. Also, the bottom of the circular recess (55) is 1.5 ~
A tapered small protrusion (57) having a height of about 2.5 mm is formed. Then, the air outlet (58) is formed between the rectangular recesses (56) and between the rectangular recesses (56) and the inner circular recesses (55B) with different shapes and numbers of arrangement.

There are several grips (60) that can also be used as POP advertisements to display the names and prices of the displayed products (in this example, two grips are symmetrical with a 90 ° arc at symmetrical positions). Stand upright (in shape). In addition, if the suction port (59) is provided inside the part where the handle part (60) is erected, by increasing the number or opening area larger than the other parts, the air outlet (58)
More cold air blown out is sucked into the suction port (59) inside the handle portion (60). At this time, since the cool air is directed downward and inward by the handle portion (60), the cold air is prevented from hitting the inner surface of the lower portion of the hood (50), so that the hood (50) can be prevented from fogging and dew. Further, an annular turning recess (61) for holding the turntable (44) on the turning assisting member (70) is formed on the lower surface outer peripheral side of the turntable (44).

The rotation recess (61) has an annular inner wall (62) supported by one of rotation assisting members (70) held in two different forms described later and an annular outer wall (63) supported by the other. ) And the handle (60) of the turntable (44).

In addition, this notch (64)
The inner wall (62) and the outer wall (63) are formed so that (65) are displaced by 90 ° from each other and are gradually inclined away from the center. Further, an annular standing wall (66) is formed on the lower surface of the turntable (44) so as to correspond to the annular groove (41) formed around the rising opening (40) in the upper plate of the cool air supply unit (16). And notches (64)
When the turntable (44) is supported at the steady position with the rotation assisting member (70) fitted in each of the (65),
The rotation of the turntable is restricted, and in this state, the product can be easily stored in the product storage unit (12) or taken out from the product storage unit (12). Also, when the turntable (44) is supported in the steady position, the rising opening (4
Circular standing wall (66) and turntable (44) around 0)
A closed space is formed with the lower surface to prevent leakage of cold air, that is, a short cycle of cold air from the cold air supply unit (16) to the cold air return unit (17).
Further, since the turning recess (61) is formed on the outer peripheral side of the lower surface of the turntable (44), it can be supported at at least three points, so that the load applied to each point can be reduced.

The rotation assisting member (70) supports the turntable (44) with a horizontal and uniform load, and when the turntable (44) is positioned at a steady position, both the inner and outer walls (62).
It is arranged at four portions corresponding to the positions of the notches (64) and (65) formed in (63). That is, it is mounted and fixed in the four mounting recesses (45A) formed in the partition plate (45).
Each rotation assisting member (70) includes a rotating body (71), a support shaft (72) for rotatably supporting the rotating body (71), and the support shaft (72) for fixing and supporting the rotation. And a fixture (73) for attaching the member (70) to an appropriate place (one of the four attachment recesses (45A) described above). Further, the rotating body (71) has a shape in which two cylinders having different sizes are combined with the same center, and the smaller diameter has the contact piece (74), and the larger diameter has the restriction piece (75). ), And has an insertion opening for inserting the support shaft (72) in the center thereof. The outer peripheral surface of the contact piece (74) supports the lower surface of either one of the inner and outer walls (62) (63), and the restriction piece (75) is inside the turning recess (61), that is, the inner wall ( The orientation of the rotating body (71) is determined so that it is held between the outer wall (63) and the outer wall (63). At this time, among the rotation assisting members (70) arranged at four positions, diagonally positioned members are the same in the rotating body (71) (the contact piece (74) is directed toward the center or the outer peripheral direction). It should be placed either one of them. Therefore, when the turntable (44) is rotated, the notches (64) formed in the inner and outer walls (62) (63).
(65) is held by the contact piece (74) of the rotating body (71) every 180 ° and can be stopped in a stable state. At this time, the handle part (60) is surely held in the display box (10). Can be located in front of and behind.

On the other hand, the blower pipe (30) has one end connected to the cool air outlet of the machine box (20) and the other end connected to the cold air inlet (42) of the cold air supply unit (16) to supply the cool air adiabatically. Tube (31)
And a return pipe (32) for circulating the return cool air by connecting one end side to the return cool air suction port of the machine box (20) and the other end side to the return cool air outlet (77) of the cool air supply part (17), respectively. It is preferable that both cylinders (31) (32) are configured to be bendable and extendable.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above in detail, according to the present invention, when the display stand is rotatably held, the rotation recess is formed on the lower surface of the display stand, and the rotating body is fitted into the rotation recess. This makes it easy to attach and detach the display stand. Further, since the rotation recess is formed on the outer peripheral side of the lower surface of the display stand, it is possible to disperse the load applied to the rotation auxiliary member by the number of the rotation auxiliary members when the product is placed on the outer peripheral side of the display stand. Therefore, the load applied to one rotation assisting member is reduced. Furthermore, the formation of the turning recess improves the strength of the display table against the load. on the other hand,
Since the rotating body is fitted in, the rattling of the display stand in the horizontal direction is suppressed, and stable placement can be performed. further,
When the display stand is rotated, the rotating body fits into the notches formed in the inner wall and the outer wall of the rotating recess at every rotation of a predetermined angle, the rotation of the display stand is restricted, and the display stand is stored in the fitted state. Products can be put out or new products can be stored in the product storage section, and as a result, work such as first-in first-out storage of products can be easily performed with the rotation of the display stand being restricted. Therefore, it is possible to simplify the work of putting in and taking out products.
