Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Technical field of the invention] This invention relates to a night cover for a storage case that covers the entire upper surface of a refrigerated storage case or a frozen storage case, and particularly relates to a night cover for a storage case that has a function to prevent rainwater from entering and an anti-theft function. .

[Technical background of the invention and its problems]

Generally, a refrigerated case or a frozen case has a structure in which the glass surface on the top of the case 1 is covered with a night cover 2, as shown in Figure 1, and a lock 3 is attached to the night cover 2 that covers the top glass surface of the case. It will be done. This lock 3 prevents the night cover 2 from being removed and locks the sliding door 4 from opening.
Theft of products stored in the case 1 is prevented.

Night cover 2 has two cover elements 2
a and 2b are foldably connected by a hinge 5, and are stored in a folded and compact state when stored.

Recently, refrigerated and frozen storage cases are increasingly being installed semi-outdoors, such as under the eaves of stores. For this reason, the case is often exposed to wind and rain, and the night cover has become necessary not only to prevent the stored items from being stolen, but also to protect against rainwater.

However, in the conventionally used night cover 2 of the show case, the folding mechanism is formed on the plane of the night cover 2, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, and no special measures are taken to prevent rainwater from entering. However, it was not suitable as a night cover for a show case for semi-outdoor or outdoor installation.

[Purpose of invention]

This invention takes the above-mentioned points into consideration, and aims to provide a night cover for a show case that effectively and reliably prevents rainwater from entering the show case and is suitable for semi-outdoor or outdoor installation.

[Summary of the idea]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the night cover of the show case according to this invention is one in which cover elements are foldably connected by a folding mechanism, and the connected cover elements have a stepped structure so as to cover the entire upper surface of the show case. A folding mechanism that connects both cover elements is provided on a substantially vertical surface forming a stepped portion, and a trough is formed on the back side of the connecting portion of both cover elements, thereby creating a structure to prevent rainwater from entering. .

[Example of idea]

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of this invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In FIG. 3, the reference numeral 10 indicates a refrigerated or frozen storage case for storing and selling articles by cooling or freezing. On the front side of the top of this case 10, an opening/closing door 11 for carrying in and out of articles slides and can be opened and closed. It is set in. The entire upper surface of the show case 10 is removably covered with a night cover 12 shown in FIG. night cover 12
is formed into a stepped structure corresponding to the shape of the top of the show case 10, and the two cover elements 13a, 13b are foldably connected at this step by a folding mechanism 14 such as a hinge.
One cover element 13a is the cover element 13a.
0 mainly covers the opening/closing door 11, and the other covers the top back side of the show case 10.

A folding mechanism 14 that connects the two cover elements 13a and 13b is installed in the middle of a substantially vertical plane forming a stepped portion of the night cover 12. As shown in FIG. 6, a gutter 16 having an L-shaped cross section is integrally formed on the back side of the connecting portion of both cover elements 13a, 13b to receive rainwater that enters from the mating surface of the connecting portion. This case 16 is night cover 12
It extends in the width direction of the cover element 13a, and is formed by bending the step-forming end of one cover element 13a to one side (back side) and cutting the tip of the bent side. In this case, the bottom surface of the gutter 16 may be inclined downwardly toward the front, so that the rainwater that has entered can be actively discharged to the outside. The lower end of the connecting portion of the other cover element 13b is bent toward the back side, and is formed into an L-shaped cross section.

On the other hand, a cover element 13 that covers the opening/closing door 11
A, a protrusion 18 is formed at the handle formation position of the opening/closing door 11 to accommodate the handle 11a so as to extend in the width direction. This protrusion 18 also serves as a guide for guiding rainwater drainage. A lock attachment hole 19 is bored in front of this protrusion 18, and a lock 20 is attached through this attachment hole 19. With this lock 20, the night cover 12 covering the top of the show case 10 is locked. Mounting hole 19
The protrusion 18 effectively prevents rainwater from entering.

In addition, when the night cover 12 is placed over the top of the show case 10, an L-shape is formed on the circumferential side of the night cover 12, as shown in FIG. 7, to prevent rainwater from entering between the night cover 12 and the top. A collar 22 is provided. This collar 22 has a gap A
(This gap is between the case body and the night cover 1.)
There is a gap between it and the second tsuba 22. ) is smaller than the height B of the flange 22, it becomes a more complete measure against rainwater, and is effective in preventing rainwater from entering even when rainwater is sprayed at an angle of 45 degrees.

By the way, the night cover 12 has a folding mechanism 1.
4 so that it can be folded in two, the night cover 12 can be folded to make it compact and compact, making it convenient to transport and store the night cover 12.

In addition, in one embodiment of this invention, the night cover has been described as an example in which two cover elements are connected by a folding mechanism, but three or more cover elements can be connected by a folding mechanism to make it even more compact. Good too. At this time, when both cover elements are connected on a substantially horizontal plane, a trough may be formed on the back side of the connection part to drain rainwater that has entered the trough from the side.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, in the night cover of the show case according to this invention, the cover elements connected by the folding mechanism are formed in a stepped structure so as to cover the entire upper surface of the show case, and the almost vertical surface forming the step part is formed into a stepped structure. A folding mechanism is provided to connect both cover elements, and a trough is provided on the back side of the connecting part of both cover elements to prevent rainwater from entering, so the case can be installed semi-outdoors or outdoors, such as under the eaves of a store. This makes it suitable for use even when the case is installed semi-outdoors or outdoors.
Rainwater can be effectively and reliably prevented from entering the shower case.

Further, since the night cover is configured to be foldable by connecting the cover elements with a folding mechanism, it can be made compact, which is advantageous in terms of transportation and storage.

Furthermore, if a lock attachment hole is formed in the cover element that covers the opening/closing door of the show case, the lock can be attached after the show case is covered with the night cover, which helps prevent the night cover and stored articles from being stolen.
