SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, an air flow curtain is formed in a front opening of a commodity storage room, and a panel is provided in front of a front wall provided below the opening and a bumper is laterally provided at an upper end of the panel. In an open showcase that extends for a long time, the bumper has a projecting part that projects forward, and a fixing part that extends downward from the rear end of the lower wall of the projecting part and is screwed to the front wall, and the panel has an upper end part. Between the lower part and the lower part has a concave portion that comes into contact with the front surface of the front wall, and fixes the lower part of the panel to the front wall,
The upper end portion is bent forward, overlapped with the lower wall of the bumper protruding portion, and fixed with screws to cover the fixing portion.

[0006]

According to the present invention, the panel acts as a reinforcing plate for the bumper because the upper end of the panel overlaps with the lower wall of the overhanging portion of the bumper even if the fixing portion of the bumper is simply screwed. In addition to the recess formed between the upper end and the lower part of the panel, the strength of the panel itself is improved, and since the recess contacts the front surface of the front wall, the strength against the impact from the front is also improved.

Embodiments Next, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a main part of an open showcase according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the open showcase 1, a front storage opening 2 of a product storage room 2 in which shelves 5 are arranged has cold air or warm air from top to bottom. A flowing air flow curtain is formed by an air flow circulation device. A front wall 6 is provided below the front opening 3 across the left and right side plates 4 of the showcase 1, and covers a part of the lower portion of the product storage chamber 2.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a bumper provided on the front upper portion of the front wall 6, which has a length extending substantially over the entire left and right sides of the front wall 6, and has a three-dimensionally projecting forward projecting portion 8 and the projecting portion 8. A projecting portion 22 formed by projecting a lower wall front end portion downward and a fixing portion 9 located behind the projecting portion 8 and extending downward from a rear wall rear end of the projecting portion 8 are integrally formed. The fixing portion 9 is fixed to the front wall 6 from the front with a plurality of screws 10.

A lower portion 11 is fixed to a lower portion of the front wall 6 with a screw 12, and is bent forward at an upper end portion to form a protruding portion overlapping the lower wall of the protruding portion 8 between the protruding portion 22 and the fixed portion 9,
The projecting portion is fixed to the projecting portion 8 behind the projecting portion 22 with a screw 13.
A panel fixed to the lower surface of the front cover 6 covers the fixing portion 9 from the front, and has a length that extends over substantially the entire left and right sides of the front wall 6.
As a result, the upper end surface of the panel 11 facing the front is hidden by the protrusion 22 of the bumper 7 and cannot be seen from the front.

The panel 11 also has a recess 1 between the top and bottom to increase its strength and to create an aesthetic appearance.
The concave portion 14 has a concave-convex shape, and further, the concave portion 14 is in surface contact with the front wall 6 to increase the strength against a shock from the front and to prevent deformation. The upper surface and the lower surface of the convex portion 25 formed below the concave portion 14 are inclined forward low, and in particular, the rear end of the lower surface 26 is bent downward to form the front wall 6.
It is in contact with the front.

With this configuration, the panel 11 is the bumper 7
Since the lower surface of the bumper 7 is connected to the lower surface of the bumper 7, the strength of the both members is increased, and the downward load applied to the bumper 7 is particularly large.
It is stronger than the case where the load is received only by the bumper 7 and the load is received only by the bumper 7. Therefore, it is sufficient to attach the bumper 7 only by fixing the fixing portion 9 with the screw 10.

Further, the stop screw 10 of the bumper 7 protruding to the front of the showcase 1 does not get caught on the clothes of the customer, and the complicated shape and special screw coating structure for preventing such a catch are also provided. No longer needed.

Furthermore, a stop screw 1 at the upper end of the panel 11
Since 3 also acts as a stop screw for the bumper 7, the number of screw stop positions is smaller than that in the case where the bumper 7 and the panel 11 are separately fixed to the front wall 6.

Reference numeral 15 denotes an upper auxiliary panel, the upper end of which is bent rearward to reach the upper surface of the front wall 6, and a small amount of projection is made forward from there to incline and descend, and the lower end is bent obliquely rearward and upward. After that, it is bent downward and comes into contact with the front surface of the front wall 6 and comes into contact with the contact portion 2
3 are configured. The upper surface of the bumper 7 is low forward and slightly inclined, the rear end of the upper surface is bent downward, and the bent portion and the rear portion of the upper surface enter the lower end portion of the upper auxiliary panel 15, so that the front wall 6 is separated. The contact portion 23 of the upper auxiliary panel 15 is sandwiched between the two.

Reference numeral 17 denotes a handrail, which is provided so as to cover the upper surface of the front wall 6 and to sandwich the upper end of the upper auxiliary panel 15 between the upper surface and the upper surface of the front wall 6, and the rear end portion is on the rear surface of the front wall 6. It extends and is stopped there with screws 16.

Reference numeral 18 denotes a raceway fixed to the lower end of the front wall 6 with screws 21, over which the left and right sides of the front wall 6 are substantially extended, on which pipes and electrical parts are arranged as necessary.

Reference numeral 19 denotes a lower reinforcing panel, which has the same function as the bumper 8 in the lower portion of the front wall 6, and the lower end portion thereof is fixed to the front end portion of the raceway 18 by means of a screw 20, and the upper portion is provided at the upper portion. Upper surface 2 which is inclined low toward the front
4, the rear end of the upper surface 24 is bent upward, and this bent portion overlaps with the bent portion at the rear end of the lower surface 26 of the panel 11 and is fastened together with the screw 12 to the front surface of the front wall 6. Has been done. That is, the screw 12 is located in the groove 27 which is formed by the lower surface 26 of the panel 11 and the upper surface 24 of the lower reinforcing panel 19 and is opened obliquely downward. It is being improved.

The lower reinforcing panel 19 serves as a cover for the pipes and the like, but may be formed integrally with the panel 11 in some cases.

In the above structure, the front surface of the upper auxiliary panel 15, the upper surface of the bumper 7, the upper surface of the convex portion 25 of the panel 11 and the upper surface 24 of the lower reinforcing panel 19 are all inclined downward toward the front. Therefore, the water droplets that have fallen on these fall smoothly downward. In addition, the water droplets that have fallen on the bumper 7 are drained at the protrusions 22, and the panel 1
Since the water droplets that have fallen on 1 are drained at the front end of the lower surface of the convex portion 25, these water contents do not reach the screws 13 and 12, and therefore corrosion of the screws 13 and 12 can be suppressed.

[0020]

According to the present invention, the following effects are produced.

Since the upper end of the panel is overlapped with the lower wall of the protruding portion of the bumper and fixed with screws, the protruding portion of the bumper can be supported by the panel as a unit with the bumper. Will be sufficiently reinforced.

The panel covers the fixing part of the bumper, and the connecting part between the bumper and the panel is the lower surface of the bumper. Therefore, the screws are not visible to the customer and the appearance is good. No more getting caught in these screws.

Since the panel has a recess between the upper end fixed to the bumper and the lower part fixed to the front wall,
The strength of itself is improved and it becomes difficult to be deformed, and since the concave portion is in contact with the front wall, the strength is remarkably increased against an impact from the front, and deformation due to a collision of a cart or the like is suppressed.

When replacing the panel or bumper,
Since the panel and bumper can be easily removed by simply removing the screws, even when a plurality of showcases are arranged side by side, they can be replaced easily and quickly.
