Description

The present invention relates to a showcase having a swingable door.

2. Description of the Related Art As a showcase having an opening for loading and unloading products on the front surface and closing the opening, there is, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-1173. This publication discloses a showcase provided with a vertically rotatable door.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the above technique, the product is taken in and out with the upper door (that is, the upper door) being opened, but the user accidentally drops the product during the taking in and out of the product. There is a case where the product is picked up or moved with the waist bent when the product is stored in the lower storage room or when the product in the lower storage room is replaced with the upper storage room. And, even though the upper door is open, the user stood up from the state where the hips were bent, and a part of the body such as the head and shoulders collided with the open upper door, causing laceration / bruises. I was sometimes injured. In particular, when it collided with the corner of the upper door, there was a fear that the symptom would be extremely large.

Therefore, the present invention provides a showcase in which a protective device is provided at a corner portion of a door.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides a showcase provided with a rotary door which is arranged on one side at a certain height from an installation surface and which opens and closes an entrance of a product in an openable and closable manner. Which is disposed on the lower surface of the other side of the metal frame that covers the periphery of the door and is rotatably supported, and is located outside the corner portion (that is, the front and side). A protective member made of a cushioning material such as natural rubber is attached so as to project in one direction.

The protective member made of cushioning material such as natural rubber, which is arranged on the lower surface of the corner portion of the door, is attached so as to project forward and sideward from the corner portion, so that the corner portion of the door is not attached to other portions (especially the head or It acts to absorb and mitigate the impact of a collision with a part of the body such as the shoulder), and also acts as a protective device that prevents the corners from directly contacting other parts.

Embodiments Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a cooling showcase body, which has a pair of upper and lower doors (transparent doors in this example; upper door and lower door, respectively) which are formed on one side surface (front surface in this case) as an opening / closing opening for goods to be stored. (It will be called a door)
One side (left side in the figure) of the main body 1 is pivotally supported. The upper and lower doors 3 and 4 have the following configurations, respectively. That is, a holding frame 6 made of synthetic resin having a U-shaped cross section, into which the peripheral edges of the two transparent plates 5 held in front and behind by a spacer are inserted, and the transparent frame 5 is attached so as to surround the holding frame 6. The frame 7 is a decorative frame made of metal such as aluminum. Also, on the inside surface of the frame 7, the doors 3, 4 and the main body 1
Airtightness maintaining member 8 such as a gasket for maintaining airtightness between
Are arranged in a ring.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a horizontal rod that divides the opening into two upper and lower portions.
A key fitting 12 is attached to a portion (a right-hand crossing portion in this example) where the opening frame and an opening frame (not shown) forming the opening intersect with each other so as to straddle the horizontal rod 10 and the opening frame. This key fitting
The reference numeral 12 includes a fixed body 13 fixed to the main body 1 to support an arm book 14 described later so as to be slidable and rotatable, and an arm body 14 into which a tip of the lock plate 16 described below is inserted and a lock 17 is attached. The lock plate 16 is formed with a hole 18 into which the arm body 14 is inserted.
When locking the upper and lower doors 3 and 4, both doors 34 are closed and the arm 1
By sliding and rotating 4 to project the tip of the arm 14 forward of the doors 3 and 4, and when locked in the holes 18, the front corners of the upper and lower doors 3 and 4 Is to wrap.

In the frame body 7 which is crowned on the periphery of the upper door 3 where 20 is arranged with a certain height from the installation surface of the showcase [a height that allows a person to open and close without bending his or her waist], It is arranged on the lower surface of one side (here, the left side) that is rotatably supported and the other side (that is, the right side) that faces the other side, and is outside the corner portion, that is, the right side (the distance P) and the front (the distance Q). ) Is a protective member made of an elastic material such as a natural rubber or a resin, which is attached so as to protrude from the above), that is, a cushioning material. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG.
It is fixed to the frame body 7 by.

The protection member 20 can be easily attached to an existing showcase door by forming a fixing hole 22 for attaching the fixing member 21 to the metal frame body 7. Is.

FIG. 6 shows another showcase, and a door unit 32 is retrofitted to the front opening 31 of the open type showcase 30 so that the refrigeration load can be reduced and the door unit 31 can be easily attached. It is the one. The door unit 32 has a lower end, which is an open type showcase 30.
Is attached to a portion called a handrail, and its lower end is arranged at a certain height from the installation surface. The door unit 32 has a rotatable transparent door 33, and a protective member is also attached to the lower surface of the corner portion of the transparent door 33.

According to the above configuration, it is arranged on the lower surface of the corner portion of the door 3 where it is arranged with a certain height from the installation surface [a height that allows a person to open and close it without bending his or her hips]. And a protective member 20 made of cushioning material such as natural rubber
However, since it is attached so as to project to the front and side of the corner part, it acts to absorb and mitigate the impact when the corner part collides with other parts [especially a part of the body such as head and shoulders]. Thus, damage to the door and damage to other parts due to collision can be suppressed / prevented. Moreover, since the protection member 20 projects from the corner portion, it acts as a bumper member that prevents the corner portion and other portions from directly contacting with each other, and the risk of collision at the corner portion is avoided. Further, the protective member 20 is provided with a hole 22 for fixing to the metal frame 7 even for an existing showcase door.
Since it can be attached by a simple improvement only by forming a door, the replacement work and the additional work can be performed very easily, and the safety at the time of opening and closing the door can be enhanced.

[Advantages of the Invention] As described in detail above, according to the present invention, the protection member disposed on the lower surface of the corner portion of the door is made of a cushioning material such as natural rubber.
Since it is attached so as to project to the front and side of the corner, it acts to absorb and mitigate the impact when the corner collides with other parts [parts of the body such as the head and shoulders]. It is possible to suppress / prevent damage to the door and damage to other parts due to a collision. Moreover, since the protective member projects from the corner portion of the door, the protective member acts as a bumper member that prevents the corner portion and other portions from directly contacting each other, thereby avoiding the risk of collision at the corner portion. .
