Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a showcase for a multi-stage open showcase, and more particularly, to a front structure used for a large-sized showcase having a wide width. Related to 2. Description of the Related Art First, FIG. 4 shows a conventional structure of a multistage open showcase to which the present invention is applied. In the figures, 1 is a case body having an open front, 2 is a left and right side plate, 3
Is a merchandise display shelf arranged in a warehouse in a vertically arranged manner, 4 is a power supply terminal box mounted on a front surface of a bottom of an outer box 5 called a boat bottom of the case body 1 via a support bracket, and 6 includes the terminal box 4 And a decorative front portion covering the entire front side of the bottom of the outer box of the case body 1, and the front portion 6 includes a front cap 7, an upper front panel 8, a bumper rail 9, a lower front panel 10, a kick plate 11, and the like. And the individual members constituting the front portion 6 are formed to have a longitudinal dimension corresponding to the width L of the showcase. When the showcase having such a configuration is shipped from a factory, the lower front panel 10 arranged on the front of the power supply terminal box 4 is removed, and the showcase is installed in the store to which the product is to be delivered. After wiring work has been performed with the inside power supply, the front panel 10 is assembled into the front part 6 of the showcase and screwed. [0004] Incidentally, the above configuration has the following drawbacks in terms of installation work carried out on site. That is, when the front panel is removed after the power supply wiring is attached, there is no particular problem in a small showcase of 2 m or less having a width of 4 or 6 feet, but a wide width of 8, 9 or 12 feet. In a large-sized showcase, the front panel 10 is long and heavy, so it is very difficult for one worker to mount the screw while supporting it by hand. In practice, the work is performed by two workers. It is the current situation that is being promoted. The same applies to the maintenance and inspection performed after the installation of the showcase. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and has as its object to solve the above-mentioned problems, and to provide a large-sized showcase having a wide frontage, power supply wiring to be carried out at an installation site at a delivery destination, or The front panel mounting and dismounting work related to maintenance and inspection can be easily handled by one worker alone, and only a small number of standard split front panels are prepared, making it possible to produce large-sized showcases with various frontage dimensions. Another object of the present invention is to provide a showcase that can handle the above. According to the present invention, in order to attain the above object, according to the present invention, among the front panels arranged vertically, a front panel corresponding to a mounting height of a terminal box is provided. The front panel is divided in the longitudinal direction to form a divided front panel.
Three standard length divided front panels, 4 and 6 meters, are prepared, and the width of the front is 8 and 9 depending on the combination.
It is designed to be compatible with large and twelve-inch long showcases, and a split front panel that covers the front surface of the terminal box is detachably mounted. [0007] In the above structure, it is preferable that an end portion in the longitudinal direction of the divided front panel is subjected to an L-shaped edge bending process to form a butt flange portion. [0008] With the above configuration, when the front panel is attached or detached in connection with power supply wiring to the terminal box or maintenance and inspection carried out at the delivery site, the standard length (3 (4, 6 and 6) front panels can be used for large showcases with frontage widths of 8, 9 and 12 feet, so that only one worker can easily attach the front panel. In addition, by forming the butted flanges with bent edges at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the divided front panel, the mounting position of the front panel can be easily adjusted, and trimming can be performed at the joint of the divided front panel. There is an advantage that there is no need to cover the end face with another connecting member such as the above. Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the drawings of the embodiment, the same members corresponding to FIG. 4 are denoted by the same reference numerals. In FIG. 1, among the front panels mounted vertically on the front side of the boat bottom 5 a of the outer box 5, two lower front panels 10 arranged at the mounting height position of the power supply terminal box 4 are arranged side by side. The front flanges 10c are formed by performing edge bending on the back side at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the divided front panels 10a and 10b as shown in FIG. ing. Further, the divided front panels 10a, 10a,
As shown in FIGS. 3 (a) to 3 (c), three types of standard length front panels having lengths of 3, 4, and 6 are prepared as assembly parts as 10b. As described above, the front end is designed to correspond to a large-sized showcase having typical widths of 8, 9, and 12 meters. That is, for a showcase having a frontage width L of 8 inches, FIG.
As shown in (d), two front panels each having a length of 4 and selected from the standard length described above are used side by side. In addition, as shown in FIG. 3 (e), a front panel having a width of 9 is combined with a divided front panel having a length of 3 and 6 as shown in FIG. 3 (e). Further, as shown in FIG. Combine two 6-foot split front panels. In the case of a small-sized showcase having a frontage width of 3, 4, or 6 m, the front panel having the standard length described above can be used alone as it is. In a large-sized showcase, the right divided front panel 10b that covers the front of the terminal box 4 when the showcase is shipped from the factory is removed from the divided front panels 10a and 10b divided into right and left. After being carried into the store of the delivery destination, installed and provided with power wiring, it is detached, and the divided front panel 10b is attached and screwed and fixed. In this case, the flange portion 10c formed at the end of the divided front panel
Positioning can be easily performed by abutting each other.
In addition, at the time of maintenance and inspection performed after the installation of the showcase at the installation location, only the divided front panel 10b is removed and the power supply terminal box 4 is inspected. In this case, the length of one divided front panel is at most six, so that one worker can easily handle it. As described above, according to the structure of the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. 1) Installation of showcases to be carried out at the destination store,
Alternatively, the front panel that covers the front face of the power supply terminal box during maintenance and inspection can be easily handled by a single worker, thereby improving workability. 2) If three types of divided panels having standard lengths of 3, 4, and 6 are prepared as standard parts as divided front panels, a typical width of the frontage can be obtained. Even large-sized showcases of 8, 9, and 12 feet can be handled by selecting and combining the above-described standard-length divided front panels, which is advantageous for parts management. 3) By forming a butt flange at the longitudinal end of the divided front panel, the mounting position can be easily adjusted, and another connecting member such as a trim for protecting the end face of the joint. There is also obtained an advantage such that the need for is eliminated.
