Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a display case for various items, and more particularly to a display case in which the lighting environment can be easily changed according to the shape and property of the display item.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional display case used for displaying various items, the case body for storing the items is formed of transparent glass or the like into a box shape whose opening can be opened and closed by a door. It is known that a light source for illuminating an exhibit is provided at an upper position of the case body.

[0003]

By the way, since the above-mentioned conventional display case has a structure in which the illumination by the light source is constant, it is not possible to change the lighting environment according to the shape and nature of the exhibit. In many cases, it is necessary to illuminate the exhibit in a state that does not match the shape and nature of the exhibit, and there is a problem that an effective exhibition cannot be performed.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an exhibition case in which the lighting environment can be easily changed according to the shape and the property of the exhibit, and the exhibit can be effectively exhibited.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the invention of claim 1 is such that an airtight transparent plate is stretched at an upper position in a case body whose opening can be opened and closed by a door, A light source is arranged above the transparent plate, and a light-shielding plate that can be inserted into and removed from the opening is provided below the airtight transparent plate.

In this case, the case body is formed of transparent glass or the like on three peripheral surfaces, the rear opening can be opened and closed by a door, and the airtightness of the inside is maintained when closed, and the light shielding plate is the case. It can be freely inserted and removed from the opening along the rails provided inside the main body, and can be freely replaced to obtain an illumination environment that matches the shape and nature of the exhibits.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in the figure, the case body 1 includes a front plate 2
And a side plate 3, 3 and a door 5 which can open and close an opening 4 formed between the rear end parts of the side plates 3, 3 and are formed in a rectangular tube shape, and are installed on a base 6.

In the case body 1, a glass front plate 2 and both side plates 3 and 3 are stretched in an airtight manner with a sealing material on three surfaces between an upper frame 7 and a lower frame 8 formed by using a mold material. , Upper frame 7
A light source 11 using a plurality of fluorescent lamps arranged in parallel is attached to the lower surface of a top plate 10 that can be opened and closed in a light source storage frame 9 provided above.

An airtight transparent plate 12 made of synthetic resin or glass is stretched on the upper part of the upper frame 7 by sealing the periphery of the upper frame 7 with a sealing material 13, and a lower frame 8 is also provided.
An airtight plate 14 made of steel is stretched inside by sealing the periphery of the lower frame 8 with a sealing material 15.

The door 5 is a frame body 1 formed by using a mold material.
A glass 17 is stretched in an airtight manner in 6 so that the frame 16 abuts on the back surface of the upper frame 7, the back surface of the lower frame 8 and the vertical bars 18, 18 provided at the rear ends of the side plates 3, 3. And a hinge is attached to one of the vertical bars 18 so that the opening 4 can be opened and closed, and the upper upper frame 7 and the lower frame 8 and both vertical bars 18,
A packing 19 for keeping airtightness is provided on the surface of the frame 18 that contacts the frame 16.

A light-shielding plate 20 is housed in the upper frame 7 at a position lower than the airtight transparent plate 12 so that it can be removed from the opening 4. The light shielding plate 20 is formed into a flat rectangular shape having a size that can be accommodated in the upper frame 7, has a handle 21 for insertion / removal at a rear end thereof, and the rear horizontal rail 7a of the upper frame 7 is shown in FIG. As shown, it is divided into upper and lower parts, and an insertion port 22 of the light shielding plate 20 is formed between the opposing surfaces.

The light shield plate 20 is inserted from the insertion port 22 to the upper frame 7.
When it is inserted into the inside, it is supported by the rails 23 provided on the front cross rail and the side cross rails constituting the upper frame 7, and the insertion / removal operation can be performed without any trouble.

Although the light shielding plate 20 is formed by using a synthetic resin or a metal core in the illustrated case, the shape and the property of the exhibited product such as a perforated plate or a synthetic resin plate having a light shielding property and a coloring property can be used. Depending on the situation, prepare a lighting environment that can be replaced.

The position where the light shielding plate 20 is inserted / removed, that is, the insertion port 22 is located at the packing 19 attached to the rear horizontal rail 7a.
It is set at a lower position than that, so that the airtightness in the case body 1 can be maintained without any trouble.

At the upper part of the lower frame 8 in the lower part of the case body 1, for ventilation between the peripheral edge thereof, the front plate 2, the side plates 3, 3 and the door 5 and the upper face of the lower frame 8. A floor plate 25 having a size that forms a gap 24 is arranged by attachment to the lower frame 8, and a humidity control material tray 27 is opened in a space 26 formed between the facing surfaces of the floor plate 25 and the lower airtight plate 14. It is inserted so that it can be inserted and removed from 4.

The tray 27 is formed in the shape of a thin box having an open upper surface, in which a humidity control material according to the property of the exhibit is stored, and a handle 28 is provided on the rear end surface.

When the tray 27 is inserted into the space 26, it is guided by the rails 29 provided on both sides of the lower airtight plate 14, and the tray 27 is inserted and removed, that is, the tray 27 provided on the lower frame 8 is inserted. The mouth 30 is located above the packing 19 of the lower frame 8 so that the case main body 1 can be kept airtight. In the figure, 31 is
The humidity sensor is installed in the space 26.

The display case of the present invention is constructed as described above, and the display is provided by placing the display item on the floor board 25 or by installing the display panel 32 on the rear part of the case body 1 as shown in FIG. To do.

At this time, when the power source 11 is turned on, the light beam that has passed through the airtight transparent plate 12 is located below the light shielding plate 2.
By passing 0, the amount of light and the color tone are changed to illuminate the exhibit.

Therefore, if the type of the light shielding plate 20 to be inserted into the upper frame 7 located at the upper part of the case body 1 is selected according to the shape and the property of the exhibit, the optimum lighting environment according to the exhibit is obtained. The light shielding plate 20 can be easily replaced by opening the door 5.

If the humidity control material is stored in the tray 27 inserted in the lower space 26 of the floor plate 25, the humidity in the case body 1 which is airtight can be kept at a predetermined condition, and the exhibits can be dried or dried. The humidity can be sufficiently controlled by the natural circulation of the air in the case body 1 due to the existence of the gap 24 formed around the floor plate 25, and the door 5 can be replaced to replace the humidity control material. This can be easily done by removing the tray 27.

[0023]

As described above, according to the present invention, the light source is arranged on the upper part of the airtight transparent plate stretched on the upper part of the case body, and the light-shielding plate is removably inserted under the airtight transparent plate. By selecting the light-shielding plate, it is possible to obtain an illumination environment that matches the shape and nature of the exhibit, and it is possible to exhibit the exhibit under optimal conditions.
