Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a showcase for displaying articles on a shelf while cooling the articles.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a showcase where products are placed on a shelf and displayed while being cooled, a heat insulating material such as urethane foam is filled between an outer box and an inner box to form a box having heat insulating properties. There are several levels of product shelves, on which products are displayed.

[0003] FIG. 3 is a view showing a locked state of a product shelf of a conventional showcase. In FIG. 3, 5 is an inner box, 10
Is a shelf support, 11 is a shelf receiver, and 12 is a product shelf. In this showcase, shelf supports 11, 11 are provided in square holes 10a, 10a of shelf posts 10, 10 provided on the side and back of the inner box 5, respectively.
And the product shelf 12 is locked to the shelf supports 11 and 11. A large number of square holes 10a are provided on the shelf support 10 at regular intervals, and the height of the product shelf 12 can be adjusted by selecting the square holes 10a into which the shelf supports 11 are inserted.

[0004] Conventional documents relating to such a showcase include, for example, Japanese Patent No. 2604283.
(A47F 3/04).

[0005]

However, in the above-described conventional showcase, when changing the height of the product shelf 12, the product shelf 12 is detached from the shelf support 11, and the plurality of shelf supports 11 are inserted into different square holes. There is a problem that it takes much time and effort to replace the product shelf 10a and then set the product shelf 12 again. Further, since the product shelves 12 are simply placed on the shelf receiver 11, there is also a problem that the product shelves 12 rattle largely in the vertical direction. Further, there is a problem that the shelf support 10 protrudes into the storage, and the storage space for commodities is reduced accordingly.

The present invention solves such a problem, facilitates changing the height of the product shelf, stably holds the product shelf, and further increases the product storage space in the refrigerator. It is intended to be able to make the best use.

[0007]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a showcase of the present invention is provided with a plurality of upper and lower stages in the front-rear direction on both side surfaces of an inner box, and has a projection projecting downward from the upper surface of a rear end portion. Characterized in that it has a shelf receiving groove, and a product shelf in which a side end is inserted into the shelf receiving groove from the front side and held. In this way, the height of the product shelf can be easily changed, the product shelf can be stably held, and the product storage space in the refrigerator can be used to the maximum.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an external view of a showcase of the present invention. In FIG. 1, 1 is an outer box made of painted steel plate, 2 is a slide door, 3 is a drain pan, 4 is a drain pipe, 5 is an inner box made of synthetic resin vacuum-formed, 6
Is a shelf receiving groove, 7 is a product shelf, and 8 is a bottom floor.

A cooler (not shown) is attached to the upper end of the refrigerator, and cool air cooled by the cooler is forcibly circulated by a fan in the refrigerator. A drain pan 3 is provided directly below the cooler to prevent water droplets condensed on the cooler from dripping into the refrigerator. Then, the water accumulated in the drain pan 3 is guided to the bottom of the refrigerator through a drain pipe 4 disposed at a corner of the inner box 5.

A slide door 2 that slides left and right is provided at the front opening of the showcase, and a glass plate is fitted into the slide door 2 so that the slide door 2 is externally displayed inside the showcase. Products are visible.

Further, on the left and right sides of the inner box 5, a plurality of shelf receiving grooves 6 formed in the front-rear direction are provided vertically. By inserting the side ends of the product shelves 7 into the left and right shelf receiving grooves 6 at appropriate heights, the product shelves 7 are held at a required height.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a product shelf mounting structure of the present invention. 2, reference numerals 5 and 6 correspond to those in FIG. 1, 6a is a projection, 7a is a shelf frame, and 7b is a shelf net plate 7b. The left and right side surfaces of the inner box 5 are provided with a plurality of shelves 6 in the front-rear direction so as to be dug into a wall. The front end of the shelf receiving groove 6 is open so that the product shelf 7 can be inserted while sliding from the front side of the showcase. At the rear end of each shelf receiving groove 6, there is provided a projection 6a projecting downward from the upper surface of the groove.

On the other hand, the product shelf 7 has a shelf frame 7a formed of a thick painted metal wire, and a shelf net plate 7b mounted thereon.
The left and right sides of the shelf frame 7a protrude from the ends of the shelf netting 7b. The parts protruding left and right of the shelf frame 7a are inserted into the shelf receiving groove 6 while being slid from the front side, and the product shelf 7 is held in the shelf receiving groove 6. that time,
A projecting portion 6 provided in a shelf receiving groove 6 with a shelf frame 7a of a product shelf 7
a, forward and backward and up and down movements are regulated, and the product shelf 7
Is stably held. The protrusion 6a is provided in the shelf receiving groove 6
When inserting or pulling out the product shelf 7 from the
The front and rear inclined portions are provided so that a does not get caught.

When the height of the product shelf 7 is to be changed, the change is completed only by pulling out the product shelf 7 from the shelf receiving groove 6 and replacing it with another shelf receiving groove 6.

[0015]

As described above, the showcase of the present invention is provided with a plurality of upper and lower shelves receiving grooves on both sides of the inner box in the front-rear direction. It is formed so that the side ends of the product shelves are inserted and held in the shelf receiving grooves from the front side, so that the height of the product shelves can be easily changed and the product shelves can be stably held. Become. Further, since the shelf receiving groove is formed in the side wall of the inner box and does not protrude into the storage, the product storage space in the storage can be utilized to the maximum.
