Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a food display case for displaying foods such as bread, cakes, meat, etc. in stores and the like.

Traditionally, food display cases include:
There was one that consisted of a base and a case body provided on the top of the base. However, such food display cases do not have a food gripping tool for taking out food from the case or a place to hang or store a tray for placing the taken out food.

For this reason, food grippers and trays are placed on dedicated tables or register stands near the entrance of stores, which poses the following problems. That is,
When a food purchaser takes out food from a case by self-service, he or she must go to a dedicated table or the like separate from the case to pick up the food gripping tool and tray. Further, after use, the trays can be stacked one on top of the other, but the food gripping tools must be placed on a stand or the like in the same orientation each time, which is troublesome for both the purchaser and the seller. Furthermore, it is necessary to secure a space for placing the food gripping tools and trays, which makes the store space smaller.

The front surface of the conventional food display case is usually made of transparent glass. In cases where a sliding door is provided on the front surface and the front surface is separate from the top surface of the case body, even if the top surface is made of transparent glass, visibility is blocked by the crosspieces that are the boundaries between the two sides. It is difficult to see the food inside the case because it is obstructed. Furthermore, when taking out food placed on the upper shelf, the top surface of the case body gets in the way, so the user must bend down to look inside the case.

In addition, in cases where the front side is integrated with the top side and fixed to a frame etc., the case body can only be opened and closed from the rear side.
The purchaser cannot take out the food from the front.

This invention was made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and it eliminates the need to go to another place to use food gripping tools and trays, and makes it extremely easy and reliable to store food gripping tools and trays. It is an object of the present invention to provide a food display case that can be installed easily, takes up as little installation space as possible, allows the food displayed inside to be easily seen from the outside, is easy to put in and take out food, and has a perfect appearance. purpose.

An example of the configuration of this invention shown in the drawings will be described as follows.

In the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a food display case of this invention, which consists of a base 2 that is rectangular when viewed from above, and a case body 3 placed on the top surface of the base 2.
The base 2 has a built-in cooler 4 for cooling the inside of the case body 3, and is also provided with a tray storage tray 5 for picking up and placing food items. 6
is a food grip hanger for holding food grips such as cakes. Reference numeral 7 denotes an armor door for dissipating heat emitted from the heat dissipation pipe of the internal cooler 4 to the outside, and is fitted into the base 2.

Reference numerals 8 and 8 denote vertical frames erected at the center of both ends of the base 2, and a horizontal frame 9 is spanned over the upper ends of these vertical frames. 10, 10 are both end plates made of transparent glass plates, 11, 11 are sliding doors provided over the entire length on both sides of the case body 3, and these are made of transparent glass plates divided into three parts.
2, 13, and 14. 15,1
6 is a display shelf arranged inside, which is also made of a transparent glass plate. Reference numeral 17 denotes a food placement section at the bottom, which is made of a rust-resistant plate material such as a stainless steel plate.

The sliding door members 12, 13, 14 have vertical lower end portions 12a, 13a, 14a at the bottom, and an intermediate portion 1 that extends in a row above this and slopes inward as it goes upward.
2b, 13b, 14b, and the intermediate portion 12b, 1
Horizontal portion 12 integrally connected to the upper ends of 3b and 14b
The horizontal portions 12c, 13c, and 14c also serve as part of the upper wall of the case body 3.

Reference numeral 18 denotes a pair of upper rails attached to both sides of the horizontal frame 9, each of which has a step-like vertical cross section. 21 and a horizontal roller 22 that receives a horizontal load, and the sliding door members 12 and 14 at both ends are supported by a lower rail portion 20 with an L-shaped cross section through a vertical roller 21 and a horizontal roller 22. . 2
3 and 24 connect the rollers 20 and 21 to each sliding door member 1.
This is a mounting bracket for attaching to 2, 13, and 14.

A pair of lower rails 25 are arranged on both sides of the base 2, respectively. 26 is each vertical roller that receives a vertical load, and 27 and 28 are mounting fittings for attaching each vertical roller 26 to the lower end of each sliding door member 12, 13, and 14.

In addition, in this embodiment, the sliding door 11 is connected to the case body 3.
It is provided on both side walls, but sometimes it is provided on only one side. Moreover, both end plates 10 do not have to be transparent glass plates.

The food display case according to this invention has a tray storage shelf and a food grip hanger on the base, so the trays and food grips can be stored extremely easily and reliably, and the food inside the case can be easily and securely stored. When taking out the food, there is no need to go to a place far away from the case to pick up the tray and the food gripping tool, as in the conventional case, and therefore the food can be taken out efficiently. Furthermore, compared to the case where the tray and food gripping tool are provided separately from the base, the installation space can be significantly reduced.
Space can be used effectively.

In addition, in the food display case according to this invention, the transparent sliding door has a vertical cross section of approximately an inverted L shape, the approximately vertical portion thereof is at least a part of the side wall of the case body, and the upper edge of the approximately vertical portion is The integrally continuous horizontal portion forms at least a portion of the upper wall of the case body. Therefore, there are no bars that obstruct visibility at the boundary between the top wall and side wall of the case body.
In particular, the upper shelf is easy to see, giving a clean and beautiful appearance. Furthermore, since the sliding door is almost inverted L-shaped as shown above, when the sliding door is opened, not only the front part of the case body but also the top part is wide open, allowing the above-mentioned tray storage shelf and food grip hanger to be opened wide. Combined with the provision of this feature, it has the remarkable effect of allowing both food sellers and purchasers to take in and take out food easily and efficiently.
