  • Publication number: 20180070745
    Abstract: This showcase (10) for conserving and displaying objects in a protective environment comprises a frame (20), at least one drawer (30), a pair of sliding guides (40) for each drawer (30), and a motorised actuation system (50) formed by a first arm (51) and an actuator (52). The showcase (10) with this motorised actuation system (50) makes it possible to minimise the vibrations and the sudden movements of the drawers (30) when opening and closing, hence it limits accelerations at any point of the travel, thus allowing the correct conservation of the objects displayed in the drawers (30).

  • Patent number: 9895008
    Abstract: This showcase for the preservation and display of objects in a protected environment, comprises a bell, a base and pantograph mechanisms housed in lateral end regions of the base and formed by arms, pairs of arms and lower arms, the latter with a curvilinear configuration. The pantograph mechanisms are actuated by actuation systems housed at the bottom of the lateral end regions of the base. The showcase ensures an easier recovery of the space otherwise occupied by the actuation systems and at the same time an appropriate opening of the showcase.

  • Publication number: 20180010382
    Abstract: This showcase for conserving and displaying objects in a protected environment comprises a case, fixed walls, an openable wall and a gasket housed in a seat formed in part in the fixed walls and in part in the openable wall, open towards the interior of the showcase. The showcase ensures better security, since the gasket cannot be reached from the outside (unless the showcase is open) and therefore any possibility of tampering is avoided.

  • Patent number: 9854923
    Abstract: A display case has a first display case portion with walls configured so that each wall of a plurality of first fixed walls has a coupling edge arranged at the same coupling framework between the first portion and a second portion of the display case. The coupling edges of the first fixed walls are coplanar to one another and at least two of the first fixed walls are adjacent to each other and fastened together through gluing along a corner substantially perpendicular to the plane of the coupling edges. A groove is formed longitudinally on the coupling edge of each of the first fixed walls, the grooves of the first fixed walls jointly defining a channel along the coupling framework; a hoop cable is housed in the channel, closed on itself. The hoop cable contributes to keeping the walls coupled together at the coupling framework, ensuring that the walls stay in position even in the case in which the gluing with which the first fixed walls are fastened together partially or even totally gives way.

  • Patent number: 9820586
    Abstract: The showcase has a hinge comprising a fixed element, associated with the container body, a mobile element, intended to be associated with the door, and a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod hinged between the fixed element and the mobile element, so as to obtain an articulated quadrilateral adapted for causing a roto-translation of the fixed element with respect to the mobile element between an open position and a closed position of the hinge. The hinge also comprises a hook, associated with one from the fixed element and the mobile element and adapted for cooperating in a releasable manner with engagement means associated with the other from the fixed element and the mobile element, so as to counteract the movement of the mobile element away from the fixed element when the hinge is in closed position.

  • Publication number: 20170290446
    Abstract: This museum showcase comprises a bearing frame and fixed and/or openable walls supported by the bearing frame. The bearing frame comprises a platform that includes joints connected to horizontal beams. The fixed and/or openable walls of the showcase are supported only by the joints. The weight of the walls is supported by the joints, whereas the horizontal beams are not subjected to significant stresses. It is thus possible to design the showcase in a particularly simple and therefore quick manner, choosing the lengths of each beam according to the dimensions of the showcase and leaving the support of the weights to just the joints.

  • Publication number: 20170236392
    Abstract: This museum showcase comprises a display space visible to the public for receiving objects, at least a detection sensor of a parameter of the showcase and at least one of an alarm and an actuator for adjusting a parameter of the showcase. The museum showcase further comprises a processing unit and a showcase interface; the showcase interface is operatively connected between the sensor, the adjusting actuator and/or the alarm and the processing unit, in order to transmit information from the sensor to the processing unit and to transmit commands from the processing unit to the adjusting actuator and/or the alarm. The museum showcase is therefore completely controllable by means of the processing unit, which receives information from one or more dedicated sensors that is considered necessary for the specific showcase and which manages actuators and alarms so as to maintain the desired conditions and/or signal abnormal situations, according to the information received.

  • Publication number: 20160000237
    Abstract: A showcase for preservation and display of objects is described. The showcase has a fixed casing and at least one openable panel made of glass, mounted through opening supports on the fixed casing so as to be openable externally towards a first side of the showcase. The opening supports have an upper asymmetric quadrilateral and a lower asymmetric quadrilateral having the same geometry, respectively comprising a short upper rod and a long upper rod and a short lower rod and a long lower rod; the lengths of the two short rods are equal to each other, as well as the lengths of the two long rods are equal to each other. The opening takes place in a single roto-translation step. The asymmetric quadrilateral system formed by the uneven rods determines a roto-translational movement of the openable panel towards the first side of the showcase, so that the openable panel leaves the opening space completely free.

  • Publication number: 20140336826
    Abstract: This showcase for preserving and displaying objects in a protected environment comprises a display space and adjustment and control means for maintaining predetermined climatic conditions of the air in the display space. The adjustment and control means comprise an air treatment path outside the display space as well as openings for delivering conditioned air from the treatment path to the display space and openings for returning the conditioned air from the display space to the treatment path. The showcase comprises in the same display space at least two display areas having predetermined different climatic conditions from each other, not separated by any wall. The presence of display areas with different climatic conditions allows to arrange—in this showcase—several objects, even with the aim of different preservation needs with respect to each other.

  • Publication number: 20140318042
    Abstract: This seismic protection support comprises a lower supporting base that is intended to be rested or fixed on the ground, an upper table intended to carry an object to be protected against an earthquake, and a mechanical connection system between the supporting base and the table. The mechanical system comprises at least one pantographic arm, with a succession of inner links and outer links connected together by pin elements; the first link of the succession is hinged to the supporting base through a base pin element and the last link of the succession is hinged to the table through a table pin element. In such a way, the table is free to move with respect to the base between a predetermined initial position and a plurality of final positions. In the case in which there is an earthquake, while the supporting base is moved by the earthquake itself, the table tends to remain in its previous position.
