Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an open showcase for displaying products.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Open showcases are mainly used for displaying products in supermarkets, but trolleys for product transportation and shopping carts for customers to carry purchased products are front plate parts below the product entry / exit opening of the showcase. In many cases, the cosmetic panel, etc., was damaged by scratches and damaged the appearance.

Therefore, as in the conventional multi-stage open showcase shown in FIG. 4, a front plate portion 21a is provided by attaching a bumper 25 made of a stainless forming material plate or the like under the front plate portion 21a of the showcase body 21. Protected the makeup panel 27 and others.

As shown in FIG. 5, a front edge portion 25a of the bumper 25 is rounded, and upper and lower edge portions thereof are fixed to a lower portion of the front plate portion 21a by wood screws 26a and 26b. By doing so, the front edge portion 25a of the bumper is first subjected to this impact even when hit by a shopping cart or the like, so that the decorative panel 27 is not scratched.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The bumper of such a showcase is difficult to repair once it is scratched or dented, and it takes time and money to replace only the bumper. Also, because the bumper is made of metal, it also scratched contact items such as shopping carts.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve such a problem, the open showcase of the present invention is provided with an exterior plate having a groove formed in a full width in the lower front plate portion continuing to the lower end of the product opening front opening for product entry and exit, A bumper having a proper elasticity made of a synthetic resin material is detachably fitted in the groove, and a front edge of the bumper is projected forward from the exterior plate.

[0007]

[Action]

 The bumper is attached to the exterior plate by pushing it along the groove of the exterior plate while pressing it with your finger. Since the front edge of the bumper attached to the exterior plate is projected more toward the front of the showcase body than the exterior plate, the contact object hits this bumper, the bumper absorbs this impact and the exterior plate from the impact. Also, the bumper is made of synthetic resin that has elasticity, so it is hard to scratch the bumper itself or any contact objects such as carts.

[0008]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, a specific example of the open showcase according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 are a front view and a sectional view taken along the line II-II of the showcase body, respectively. In the drawings, reference numeral 1 is a showcase body, 2 is a product opening / closing section, 3 is a shelf for displaying products, and 4 is a shelf. Indicates a mount.

The lower front plate 1a following the lower edge of the front opening 2 for entering and exiting goods of the showcase main body 1 has an outer cover plate consisting of an upper outer plate 6a, a middle outer plate 6b, and a lower outer plate 6c in a full width. It is provided.

A bumper 8 for absorbing shock is attached to the middle exterior plate 6b, and the attached state is enlarged and shown in FIG. That is, a dovetail groove 7 for mounting the bumper 8 is provided in the widthwise direction in the longitudinal direction of the front surface of the middle exterior plate 6b, and the dovetail groove 7 extends vertically from the front surface (outer side) to the inner part (inner side). It is formed so as to widen in the direction. The upper and lower sides of the middle exterior plate 6b and the inner wall 7a of the dovetail 7 are fixed to the lower front plate 1a with wood screws 9, 9 and the like.

The bumper 8 is made of a synthetic resin material having an appropriate elasticity and has a horizontally long cross-section. The bumper 8 has a rounded V-shaped front edge 8 a facing the front (outside) and the front surface of the exterior plate 7. It is attached to the middle exterior plate 6b by projecting the opening edges 8b, 8b to the upper and lower wall portions 7b, 7b of the dovetail groove 7 using elasticity, and is attached to the middle exterior plate 6b. Reference numeral 8c is a groove for stably abutting the opening edges 8b, 8b on the back wall 7a of the dovetail groove 7.

In the figure, reference numeral 10 is a cooler provided in an air blow passage 11 for forming an air curtain at the product opening / closing opening of the case main body. Cooling air from the cooler is on the opening portion. The air is blown from the air outlet 12 at the edge to form an air curtain at the opening, and the air is sucked into the inlet 13 at the lower edge of the opening, sent to the cooler 10 by the blower 14, and recooled and blown out from the air outlet. To be done. Further, reference numeral 1b in the figure denotes a side plate of the showcase body, and 5 denotes a handrail.

When mounting the bumper 8 configured as described above to the middle exterior plate 6b, the outer surface near the opening edges 8b and 8b is pressed with a finger.

By doing so, the vertical dimension between the opening edges 8b and 8b becomes small against the elasticity of the bumper 8, and in this state, the bumper is fitted into the dovetail groove 7 of the middle exterior plate 6b from the opening edge side. Put in.

Next, when the finger is released from the bumper, the vertical dimension of the opening 8b becomes large due to the elastic restoring force of the bumper, and the upper and lower opening end edges 8b, 8b become the upper and lower wall portions 7b, 7 of the dovetail groove 7. abut on b.

When removing the bumper for cleaning or replacement, for example, insert a screwdriver into the dovetail groove and pry up a part of the bumper to remove it from the dovetail groove. Can be taken out.

When a contact such as a shopping cart hits the front of the showcase, the front edge portion 8a of the bumper 8 first comes into contact with the contact, and the impact at the time of contact is elastically absorbed by itself. This impact is dispersed and released to the opening edges 8b, 8b to protect the front plate portion 1a on the front of the case and the decorative panel 9.

[0018]

[Effect of device]

 According to the present invention, a contact object such as a cart hits the front edge of the bumper, so that the decorative panel of the showcase is prevented from being scratched, and the bumper made of synthetic resin is fitted into the groove of the exterior plate. The bumpers can be removed and replaced, and only the bumpers can be replaced, which reduces the replacement cost.

Further, since the bumper is made of an elastic synthetic resin material, it absorbs shock without damaging the contacting object, and the bumper itself is not easily scratched.
