Adjustably supported. A plurality of shelves 49 made of transparent glass or the like are placed on the bracket 48. On the shelf plate 49 and the floor plate 44, free-choice non-boxed products 102 such as a side dish are placed.

Between the front edge of the base 41 and the upper edge of the sash 45, a transparent cover 51 made of a transparent plate made of glass, plastic or the like bent in a hook shape is provided. Both side surfaces of the transparent cover 51 are closed by transparent side covers 52 which are also made of glass or the like. As a result, the closed case 40 is substantially closed by the base 41, the sliding door 46, the transparent cover 51, and the transparent side cover 52.

Inside the upper side of the transparent cover 52, a refrigerant pipe 53 as cooling means is arranged, and the refrigerant pipe 53 is supported by the sash 45. The refrigerant pipe 53 functions as an evaporator of the refrigeration cycle, and is connected to the small-capacity refrigerator unit 14 housed in the machine base 11 via a connection pipe (not shown). This connecting pipe stands up from the rear surface of the machine base 11 along the support member 38, and the periphery thereof is covered with a pipe cover 54. As a result, the inside of the transparent closed case 40 can be cooled by the refrigerant flowing from the refrigerator unit 14.

A lamp 55 that illuminates the inside of the open case 20 is provided on the lower surface of the base 41 of the transparent closed case 40.

In the refrigeration showcase 10 according to the present embodiment configured as described above, the two refrigerator units 13 and 14 are driven to cool the inside of the refrigeration open case 20 and the transparent closed case 40, respectively. .. The boxed product 101 is placed on the stand 23 of the open case 20, while the non-boxed product 102 is placed on the floor plate 44 and the shelf plate 49 of the closed case 40 for sale.

At this time, in the open case 20, the air cooled by the fan coil unit 28 is blown out from the air outlet 31 of the louver 29, cools the product 101, and then is sucked from the air inlet 35 to be again fan coil unit. It is cooled at 28. On the other hand, in the closed case 40, the inside of the case 40 is cooled by the refrigerant pipe 53.

According to this embodiment as described above, there are the following effects.

That is, the boxed product 101 and the non-boxed product 102, which have not been made conventionally, can be exhibited and sold in the same site space, and the space efficiency can be improved. At this time, since the closed case 40 is placed on the rear wall 21B of the open case 20 via the support member 38, a sufficiently large closed case 40 can be placed. By the way, in this example, the depth and height of the material case (glass case for refrigeration) usually at the counter of a sushi restaurant could be doubled.

Further, since the inclined decorative floor plate 25 is arranged on the stand 23 of the open case 20, the cold air blown downward from the air outlet 31 can sufficiently cool the product 101. Moreover, the product 101 can be sufficiently viewed by the purchaser, and the boxed product 101 and the unboxed product 102 can be viewed at the same time.

Furthermore, since the open case 20 does not cool too strongly, it is possible to display on the open case 20 side a product whose quality deteriorates if it is cooled too much like sushi, while strong cooling is possible. Required sushi ingredients and the like can be displayed in the closed case 40.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and improvements, modifications and the like within the scope of achieving the object of the present invention are included in the present invention.

For example, the refrigerator units 13 and 14 housed in the machine base 11 do not necessarily have to be two units, and one unit may be used to cool both the open case 20 and the closed case 40. Good.

Further, the size of the closed case 40 is not necessarily limited to the above description, and the size of the closed case 40 can be set as needed, and the strength of the support member 38 may be set according to this size.

Further, the term “boxed” used in this example does not necessarily mean literally “packed in a box”, but may be a box, a bag, another container, or a simple sheet. It may also be a wrap, which means, in essence, "wrapped".
