Also, the other side plate 4 is formed out of a curved transparent glass panel. According to this construction, refrigerating showcases of different shapes and sizes can be pertinently installed, and can be used for walking sales, when sized to be enough for the passage of a person.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a refrigerating showcase for displaying and selling refrigerated products such as fresh flowers and alcoholic beverages.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional device of this type, Japanese Patent Laid-Open Nos. 2-224620 and 3-29 are known.
There is one described in Japanese Patent No. 4776. In these products, a transparent glass door is provided on the front surface, and a customer views the fresh flowers in the door through the door, and if there is a desired one, the door is opened to take out the fresh flowers. If you don't like the fresh flowers, you will have to restore them and open and close the door again. This operation is troublesome and the refrigeration efficiency is poor.

By the way, today, so-called walking type sales are widespread, such as clothing, which has a wide sales space and a wide walking space for customers. This tendency also applies to fresh flowers. In this fresh flower sales, customers come in and out of the refrigerated showcase, and it is preferable that the size (capacity) and shape of the showcase can be changed depending on the sales area and the installation place of the showcase.

Under the above circumstances, it is an object of the present invention to provide a refrigerated showcase that can be sold by walking and can be changed in size and shape.

[0005]

In order to solve the above problems, according to the present invention, a front plate, a back plate, both side plates and a top plate are connected by side edges, respectively, so that a person can pass through the inside. A refrigerating showcase having a rectangular shape in plan view having a size, wherein the front plate is made of a transparent glass plate, and an entrance with a door is formed, and one of the both side plates is removable. At the same time, one side of the back plate is composed of a removable opening / closing plate.

[0006]

The refrigerating showcase according to the present invention having the above-described structure is one in which a single or a plurality of refrigerating showcases are appropriately arranged and installed. In the installed state, the overlapping opening / closing plates or side plates are removed to establish a communication port. Is formed so that the showcases can be moved back and forth (see the embodiment). Shelf is properly placed in each showcase to display fresh flowers.
The customer opens the door, enters the showcase, picks up the fresh flowers, etc. and decides the product. At this time, it is possible to pass through the showcases between the showcases, and the products are moved between the showcases through the showcases.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment is shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, and this embodiment is one unit of a refrigerating showcase,
It comprises a back plate 2, both side plates 3, 4, a top plate 5, a bottom plate 6 and a connecting member 7 thereof.

The front plate 1 is composed of two glass doors 1a of a bidirectional sliding door type, and its rails (not shown) are attached to edge frames 5a and 6a described later. The rail may be configured by separately providing a door frame, and the glass door 1a may be a part. That is, a doorway is formed in a part of the front plate 1,
A door may be provided at the entrance / exit.

The back plate 2 is made of a heat insulating material and has a connecting portion 7a formed at one side edge, and the other side portion is an opening / closing plate 2a having a fitting structure.

One of the side plates 3 and 4 is made of a heat insulating plate and has the same size and structure as the opening / closing plate 2a. The other one 4 is made of a curved transparent glass plate. Both 3 and 4 may be heat insulating plates or transparent glass plates.

The top plate 5 and the bottom plate 6 are also made of a heat insulating material, and their edge frames 5a and 6b can be fitted therein. Both materials 5 and 6 may be made of the same material and have the same size, and the bottom plate 6 need not be provided if the front and rear plates 1 and 2 and the side plates 3 and 4 can stand by themselves. That is, it may be formed on the bottom surface of the building.

In the embodiment having this structure, one unit A is assembled as shown in FIG. 1 and installed in a corner portion of the wall W as shown in FIG. 2, and the inside is cooled by a refrigerating device. The refrigerating device may be built in the showcase A or may be externally attached. A shelf C is appropriately placed on the showcase A to display the fresh flowers a.

As a combination of the units A, there are those shown in FIGS. 4 to 7. FIG. 4 shows a structure in which the side plates 3 and 3 are removed, the front plate 1, the rear plate 2 and the side plates 3 and 4 of one unit A are turned upside down, and the top plate 5 and the bottom plate 6 are turned upside down. (Hereinafter, the symmetry is the same among the units A). The side plate 3 and the opening / closing plate 2a are removed, and a connecting edge member 8 is fitted to the open end portion.

In FIG. 5, the opening / closing plates 2a and 2a are removed, and FIG.
Removes the side plates 3 and 3 and the opening / closing plates 2a and 2a.
In FIG. 7, the side plates 3, 3, 3 and the opening / closing plate 2a are removed. In FIG. 8, the side plate 3 and the opening / closing plate 2a are removed. Since the side plate 3 and the opening / closing plate 2a are the same, both units A and A can be connected without any trouble by removing both units 3 and 2a. ing.

[0015]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above,
The shape of the walking refrigerated showcase
Those having different sizes can be appropriately installed.
