Abstract: This showcase for preserving and displaying objects in a protected environment comprises a base, a box made up of fixed side panels and an upper panel connected to each other in a sealing fashion and defining an abutment framework. At least the upper panel is made of glass, same case applying to an openable panel, which can be closed in a sealing fashion on the abutment framework. A lower opening support is fixed between the base and the openable panel, an upper opening support is fixed between the upper panel and the openable panel. The showcase comprises a seat formed in the upper panel, in proximity of the abutment framework and closed towards the outside of the box; in the seat the upper opening support is at least partially encased, in the direction of the thickness of the upper panel, thus being substantially invisible.

Abstract: The invention concerns a window unit for display, protection and preventive conservation of an object of limited thickness, in particular a work of art such as a painting, a bas-relief, a tapestry or similar. It comprises a case with a back (32) and a front door (31) coupled together so as to be able to have the case (30) take up an open state, in which the object (D) is not protected and can be inserted into or removed from the case (30), and a closed state, in which the object (D) is protected and can neither be inserted into nor removed from the case (30), in which the front door (31) is provided with a transparent front panel (48) through which the object (D) is visibilé from the front in the state with the case (30) closed. The window unit is characterized in that the back (32) is provided with a transparent rear panel (50) through which the object (D) is visibile from the rear in the state with the ease (30) closed.

Abstract: A protection and display case comprises a sealed display space, a load-bearing base platform, which includes a lower portion and an upper portion separated by a sealed horizontal separator. The base platform is sealingly coupled to the sealed display space in a manner such that the upper portion of the base platform is inside the sealed display space while the lower portion is outside the sealed display space.

Abstract: The showcase includes a closure mechanism which compresses a seal by pulling the door panels against the main frame from inside. To this aim, a closure rod is mounted to the main frame which has alternating segments with expanded and contracted cross-sections, and a plurality of binding elements are mounted to the door panel for engagement by the rod. Each binding element has a rod-receiving socket of sufficient width to accommodate the expanded cross-section segments of the rod; the socket is formed with a side gap for admitting the rod whose width allows the contracted cross-section segments of the rod therethrough but not the its expanded cross-section segments.
