  • Patent number: 8429923
    Abstract: An object is to provide a low temperature showcase in which waste heat from a condenser and the like can be utilized by a simple constitution to effectively eliminate dew condensation on a middle pillar, particularly on gasket of upper part of a door. The low temperature showcase includes a middle pillar whose front surface abuts on the gasket of the door; a machine chamber disposed outside a main body under a display chamber and including the condenser, a fan for the condenser and the like, and the showcase further includes a middle pillar duct member which is vertically attached to the middle pillar and in which a middle pillar duct is defined, a leading portion which leads air from the machine chamber into the middle pillar duct, and exhaust holes which discharge the air flowing upwards through the duct to the outside of the gasket between the upper part of the door and the main body.

  • Patent number: 7448225
    Abstract: The invention has an object to provide a cold storage capable of simplifying a construction for pushing up a cooling unit and easily positioning a mounting position of the cooling unit. The cold storage includes a cooling unit integrated with a cooling box accommodating a cooler and a blower, and a compressor, a condenser and the like provided on a mounting base; a cold air discharge and a suction port formed in the bottom wall of a thermal insulating housing; fixing members having a stopper for positioning the cooling unit in a machine room such that a cold air discharge and a suction port correspond to lower sides of the first mentioned discharge and suction ports, respectively; and pushing-up members and operating arms for them, the pushing-up members causing the cooling unit to be pushed up toward the bottom wall of the thermal insulating housing by abutting against the lower surface of the mounting base on front and rear sides with respect to inserting direction of the cooling unit into the machine room.
