This showcase is provided with a showcase body 10 having an open front surface, a number of product shelves 11 arranged in the showcase body 10 in the vertical direction, an upper portion, a lower portion, and a rear surface of the showcase body 10. Ventilation path 1 formed
2, the air cooled in the ventilation passage 12 by a refrigerating device (not shown) is blown out from the upper end of the front opening and sucked in from the lower end thereof.

On the upper portion of the showcase, a semitransparent front panel 13 forming the upper front portion of the body 10 of the showcase.
The front wall 14 facing the inside of the front panel 13 is provided, and the air passage 12 in the upper part of the showcase is composed of an outer air passage 12a and an inner air passage 12b which are vertically divided. The air outlet 15 of the outer ventilation passage 12a is located between the front wall 14 and the partition wall 16, and the air outlet 17 of the inner ventilation passage 12b is located downward between the partition wall 16 and the vertical portion 18a of the top plate 18. The air outlets 15 and 17 are formed so as to face each other, and rectifying grids 15a and 17a are attached to the air outlets 15 and 17, respectively. Also,
On the lower end side of the front wall 14 is provided an inclined surface 14a that is inclined rearward in the showcase body 10. An illumination lamp 19 is provided between the front panel 13 and the front wall 14, and the illumination lamp 19 is fixed to the front wall 14 via a mounting plate 20. In this case, the illuminating lamp 19 is detachably supported by a flexible supporting member 20a provided on the mounting plate 20.

In the showcase constructed as described above, the light radiated forward from the illumination lamp 19 passes through the front panel 13 to cause it to emit light, and the light radiated downward is directed to the front panel 13 and the front surface. The products displayed in the showcase body 10 are illuminated from between the walls 14. At this time, the light emitted rearward from the illuminating lamp 3 is blocked by the front wall 14, but the irradiation range A spreads backward by the amount of inclination of the inclined surface 14a of the front wall 14, and the position of the illuminating lamp 19 is increased. Even if it is not lowered, the interior of the showcase body 10 is fully illuminated.
