DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a showcase provided with a pop rail for holding a display for displaying information on a product such as a name and a price of the product displayed in a storage room.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a showcase installed in a supermarket or the like, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No.
No. 9613 (A47F5 / 00),
A pop rail (referred to as a price rail in the above-mentioned publication) for holding a display device displaying the name and price of a product is provided on the upper side of the storage room across the left and right. Further, in a conventional general open showcase, a mirror is arranged at an upper back portion of a storage room in an inclined manner, and a product displayed in the storage room below the storage room is projected to improve a display effect.

Hereinafter, the structure of such a conventional general open showcase 101 will be described with reference to FIGS. The open showcase 101 is a vertical open showcase that is installed in a store such as a supermarket, and a partition plate 102 is attached with a space inside a heat insulating wall (not shown) constituting a main body. The outside of the plate 102 is a duct 103, and the inside is a storage room 104. Reference numeral 106 denotes a cool air discharge port communicating with the front end of the duct 103, and reference numeral 107 denotes a fluorescent lamp for illumination.

[0004] A lower receiving member 10 having a groove 108A opening obliquely upward and forward in the upper portion of the rear surface 102A of the partition plate 102.
8 is screwed and the top surface 102 of the partition plate 102 is
An upper receiving member 109 having a groove 109A opening obliquely downward and rearward is screwed to B. By inserting the lower edge and the upper edge into the grooves 108A and 109A of the both receiving members 108 and 109, the mirror 111 is inclined and held at the upper part of the storage room 104.

When the mirror 111 is viewed from the front, the products displayed in the storage room 104 below the mirror 111 appear to be reflected, so that the display effect is remarkably improved. Since the size of the mirror 111 is variously selected depending on the purpose of use and the model of the open showcase 101, each of the receiving members 108,
9 must be changed as shown in FIG. 11 (three types are shown). Therefore, the partition plate 10
A plurality of screw holes are drilled in advance on the second top surface 102B as shown by a broken line in FIG. 11 (note that the screw holes are similarly drilled on the rear surface 102A).

In FIGS. 12 and 13, reference numeral 112 denotes a fixture which is located immediately before the upper receiving member 109 and is fitted and fixed to the top surface 102B of the partition plate 102 at predetermined intervals on the left and right sides. (The fitting holes are not shown). A pop rail 113 is held at the lower end of each of the fixtures 112... And is erected across the right and left.
14 is suspended.

[0007] With this configuration, the display device 114 is hung immediately before the mirror 111, and can be seen from the front of the display device overlapping with the product reflected on the mirror 111. The effect of improving the display effect can be expected because the correspondence between the display device 114 and the product becomes clearer.

[0008]

However, since the mounting position of the upper receiving member 109 varies depending on the size of the mirror 111 as described above, the mounting position of the mounting tool 112 is changed accordingly (FIG. 12). See FIG. 13). For this reason, a plurality of fitting holes of the mounting fixture 112 must be formed in advance, and productivity from molding to assembling deteriorates, and the size of the fitting hole becomes larger than that of a normal screw hole or the like. Therefore, the cool air leaks from the duct 103 increases, and there is a risk that the air curtain formed by the cool air from the cool air discharge port 106 may have an adverse effect.
