Definitions

• the invention relates to a display case for displaying objects with a plurality of side surfaces, a lower part and an upper part forming the upper side, at least one side surface being designed as a glass door, which is flush with its outside in the region of the outer edge of a left or right side surface when the display case is closed locks and the interior of the showcase is dustproof or airtight from the environment by appropriate elastic sealing strips are attached in the range of movement of the door.
• EP-PS 0 670 405 describes a display case with a door that can be pivoted outwards, the outside of which is flush with the outside edges of a side surface in the closed state. To open the door, it must first be pushed outwards by a device perpendicular to the closing plane.
• a disadvantage of this display case is the large swiveling range of the door, especially when it is a large door.
• such a door has the advantage that the interior of such a display case is fully accessible.
• the object of the invention is now to provide a showcase of the type mentioned, in which the interior is accessible through the entire door opening and yet no space is required for a pivoting area in front of the showcase.
• the door is mounted by a guide means attached in the upper part or in the lower part or in each case in the upper part and in the lower part in such a way that it is laterally displaceable in parallel until the door opening has been completely released, the door in question being opened Side surface can be pushed back by suitable means or the door can be moved forward by suitable means so that the inside of the door can pass the front edge of the side surface.
• the door can be moved laterally, the entire door opening can be released, and depending on the design of the guide means, the door can be designed to be slidable either on one side or on both sides. Further advantages with regard to the attachment of the sealing strips result from the subclaims. The invention is explained in more detail using two exemplary embodiments, which are shown in the drawing.
• FIG. 1 is a front view of a showcase
• FIG. 2 shows the top view in section in the region of the door and side surface when the door is closed
• FIG. 3 shows the top view in section in the region of the door and side surface in the opened state of the door.
• a showcase shown in FIG. 1 for displaying objects rests with its lower part 2 on the floor 4 and has an upper part 1 on the upper side.
• the showcase is laterally closed by a right side surface 5 and a left side surface 6 and a rear wall, not shown, side surfaces 5 and 6 and the rear wall can be formed from glass panes.
• the display case is closed by a door 3 in the form of a glass pane.
• This door 3 can be moved transversely to the side surfaces 5 and 6 by means of guide means attached in the upper part 1 or in the lower part 2 or in the upper part 1 and in the lower part 2.
• the guide means can be, for example, a so-called double pull-out, depending on the design of which a lateral displacement can be possible so far that the entire door opening is released.
• the door 3 can now be moved either to the left or to the right or to both sides.
• the side surface 5 is now pushed back in its longitudinal direction so far that the inside of the door 3 can pass the front edge 7 of the side surface 5 when it is moved (FIG. 3).
• the side surface 5 is correspondingly slidably mounted in the upper part 1 or in the upper part 1 and in the lower part 2.
• An elastic sealing strip is now used to seal the interior of the showcase from its surroundings against dust or air either attached to the front edge 10 of the door 3, which rests on the inside 9 of the side surface 5 when the door 3 is closed, or the sealing strip is attached to the inside 9 of the side surface 5 and abuts the front edge 10 of the door 3.
• FIG. 3 Another design of the showcase can consist in that the side surface 5 is firmly attached and the guide means are connected to the upper (1) and lower (2) in such a way that the door 3 must first be pulled out of the showcase in order to open it, so that it can pass through the front edge 7 of the side surface 5 with its inside 8 (FIG. 3).
• This can be done, for example, by a guide which is attached parallel to the side surfaces 5 and 6 on the upper part 1 or on the upper part 1 and on the lower part 2. This guidance will not be dealt with further, since it is described in detail in EP-PS 0 670 405 mentioned at the beginning.
• the sealing strip can be attached in the manner already described.
• the door 3 can be designed to be displaceable either only on one side or also on both sides, the measures described with regard to the displaceability of the door 3 or side surface 5 are also applicable accordingly to the other side surface 6.
