Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a side plate of a refrigerator/freezer case.

Refrigerated and refrigerated storage cases, especially open storage cases with an opening on the front, include the so-called spot-mounted type that has a built-in cooling device and uses the storage case itself as a single unit, and the so-called connected type that connects and fixedly installs multiple storage cases. Among these, spot-type items are often moved individually to various locations as needed.

The show case consists of a main body formed of a heat insulating wall and having an opening on the front side, and a side plate made of a heat insulating wall that closes both sides of the main body. Moreover, this side plate is removably attached to the main body.

By the way, at the factory, all of the show case bodies 1 are configured so that they can be used in both the spot type and the connected type, and in order to be used with the spot type, as shown in Figure 1. Caster 2 was attached to the bottom.

However, if the case is shipped as a connected unit, unnecessary casters 2 must be attached to all the case bodies 1, which not only requires time and effort but also increases wasteful costs. Furthermore, if you connect them at a store, there will be two casters for each case body.
This has the disadvantage that the installation becomes unstable.

In order to eliminate this drawback, it would be possible to make two types of case bodies: a spot type with casters attached and a connected type without casters, but this would result in a loss of compatibility.
Appropriate production management is not possible, which results in higher costs.

The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the disadvantages of the conventional example, ensure the compatibility of the show case body, and, in the case of a connected type, to minimize the number of casters and make it inexpensive to manufacture. Another object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerator/freezer case in which the main body of the case can be installed in a stable state.

According to the present invention, however, this objective is achieved by attaching casters to the lower end of the side plate in a freezer/refrigerator case in which the side plate is removably connected to the freezer/refrigerator case body.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional side view showing an embodiment of the refrigerated/freezer case of the present invention, and Fig. 3 is a side view of the side plate.
An open case as an example of a refrigerated/refrigerated case has a case main body 5 having a front opening 4 for entering and exiting products, which is divided by a partition plate 6 into a product storage 7 and a cold air circulation path 8. The upper and lower ends of the passage 8 are formed as a cold air outlet 9 and a cold air intake 10, respectively, and the opening 4 is closed off with a cold air curtain.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a side plate attached to both sides of the show case body 5. An appropriate number of casters 12 are attached to the lower end of this side plate 11, and the mounting holes 1 to the show case main body 5 are installed.
3 were formed near the outer peripheral edge at appropriate intervals.

Although the following description has been made regarding an open case, the same applies to a closed case.

Next, to explain how to use the case, when using the show case as a spot holder, as shown in FIG. , 11 has casters 12 at the lower ends.
is attached, so the show case can be moved freely.

Next, in order to use the case as a connected unit, a plurality of case bodies 5 are successively connected as shown in FIG. 5, and side plates 11, 11 are attached to both sides. At this time, since the show case main body 5 does not have casters, the connection work of the case main body 5 can be performed in a stable state, and even after installation, the casters 12 will exist only at both ends, so the entire show case It is installed in a stable condition with little movement.

If the caster 12 gets in the way, you can remove it; however, in such cases, the caster 1
2 is only on both sides, so removal work is easy.

As mentioned above, the refrigerated freezer case of the present invention has casters attached to the removable side plates, so the main body of the case can be used both as a spot holder and as a connected holder, and if it is a spot holder type, it can be easily moved. When used as a connected type, it is difficult to move and can be installed in a stable state.

In addition, since it is not necessary to attach casters to all the case bodies, it can be manufactured at low cost.
