Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a thermometer to be installed in a freezing/refrigerating case, particularly in a freezing/refrigerating case equipped with a mesh shelf.

In general, this type of case has two types: one is an open type in which the front opening of the case is covered with a cold air curtain so that products can be taken in and out freely, and the other is an open type in which the front opening of the case is covered with a cold air curtain so that products can be taken in and out freely. There is also a closed type with a window and doors that can be opened and closed at the front and back. In either case, a thermometer is usually installed to indicate the temperature at which the food is currently frozen or refrigerated for customer service or product management purposes.

However, until now, little consideration has been given to where and how to install this thermometer, and it has been fixed with screws near the air curtain outlet or inlet relatively lower, or placed at the middle height of the case. The reality is that they are simply hung using the net rods of the existing net racks. However, in the former case, the thermometer is difficult to read and will indicate a temperature lower than the average temperature inside the case, and in the latter case, the disadvantage is that it will fall if your hand or the product hits it when putting it in or taking it out. It was hot.

In view of these drawbacks, the present invention seeks to provide a thermometer for wire racks that is easy to install and difficult to remove.

According to the present invention, a thermometer body, a first metal fitting forming an insertion fitting portion that fits into a net rod at the front end of the net shelf extending in the width direction of the case between the thermometer body and the net; A thermometer for a net shelf is obtained, which comprises a second metal fitting having a generally C-shaped insertion fitting portion that fits into the net rod extending parallel to the rod adjacent to the rod.

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

FIGS. 1 and 2 show a perspective view and a side view, respectively, of how a thermometer according to the present invention is attached to a mesh shelf.

Usually, the net shelf 10 is constructed by assembling the net rods 12 on support rods 11 on both sides at short intervals so that they are arranged parallel to the front and back direction of the case. Of these, the front end, that is, the first mesh rod 12 from the front, is welded to the upper edge of the support rod 11, and the rest are welded to the lower edge of the support rod 11, forming a step to prevent the product from falling.

The thermometer 20 according to the present invention includes a thermometer main body 21 and a first metal fitting 22 attached to the back side of the thermometer body 21 to form a first insertion fitting portion to the first mesh rod 12. Also, the mesh rod 12 can be attached to the metal fitting 22 with a width narrower than this.
A second metal fitting 23 having a substantially C-shaped second insertion fitting portion is attached to the second metal fitting 23. As a result, the thermometer 20 is connected to the frontmost mesh rod 12 and the mesh rod adjacent thereto.
That is, it is attached across the second mesh rod 12 from the front, and the attachment is very simple.

Note that here, the first mesh rod 12 is received by the screw 24 for assembling the metal fittings 22 and 23, but there is no need to use screws and the metal fitting 2
2 and 23 may be made of one plate and have the same shape. Moreover, when the metal fittings 22 and 23 are fitted to the first mesh rod 12 and then rotated clockwise in FIG. 2 to fit the metal fittings 23 to the second mesh rod 12, The second fitting part 23 is dimensioned to widen slightly so that it will not easily fall off even if it is hit by a hand or a product. Furthermore, the same effect can be achieved by making the virtual circular diameter of the second fitting part or the interval between the inlet parts slightly smaller than the diameter of the mesh rod 12 to provide elasticity.

FIG. 3 shows the mounting position of a front opening/closing type airtight freezer/refrigerator case on the net shelf 10, and the scale can be easily read by installing the case at approximately the same height as an adult's eye level.

Note that the shapes of the metal fittings 22 and 23 can be modified in various ways if they are attached across the two net rods of the net shelf. For example, as shown in Figure 4,
It is easily possible to reverse the entrance direction of the second fitting portion of the metal fitting 23.

As explained above, the thermometer according to the present invention can be easily and easily attached to a rack at a relatively high position in a freezer/refrigerator case without falling off, and can be easily removed.
