Patent number: 8157336Abstract: There is disclosed a showcase in which a width of a transparent door can be extended to substantially the whole width of a main body even in a case where a locking device is incorporated in a handle of a transparent door. A low-temperature showcase comprises the transparent door which is rotatably supported on the main body on one side so as to openably close an opening of the main body including a showroom, the handle disposed at an outer surface of this transparent door on an unsupported side, and a locking device disposed in this handle. The locking device has a keyhole, a rotary shaft which rotates concentrically with a key by a rotating operation of the key inserted into this keyhole and a hook which is attached to this rotary shaft so as to disengageably engage with the main body, and the keyhole is disposed at a side surface of the handle on a supported side of the transparent door.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2007Date of Patent: April 17, 2012Assignee: Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Koji Hayase, Kazuo Tetsukawa

Patent number: 8104302Abstract: There is disclosed a low-temperature showcase in which dew condensation water from outer surfaces of transparent walls is securely treated and in which air can smoothly be blown from a mechanical chamber to the outer surfaces of the transparent walls. The low-temperature showcase includes a showroom having the transparent walls, the mechanical chamber constituted under this showroom, and a cooling unit constituted of a compressor, a condenser, a fan for the condenser and the like arranged in the mechanical chamber. The low-temperature showcase further comprises blow-off portions which are formed at lower portions of the transparent walls and which blow air discharged from the fan for the condenser in the mechanical chamber toward outer surfaces of the transparent walls, and water receiving portions which are defined between the blow-off portions and the outer surfaces of the transparent walls and which allows inflow of dew condensation water flowing down along the outer surfaces of the transparent walls.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2007Date of Patent: January 31, 2012Assignee: Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Koji Hayase, Kazuo Tetsukawa

Patent number: 7205508Abstract: A showcase including an electric heater in a rack. The rack can be inexpensively constituted to be light in weight, and processing of an electric heater leader line can be facilitated. The showcase includes the electric heater in the rack for displaying commercial goods. The rack includes a metal main body and edge members made of resins. The edge members are mounted to front and rear parts of the main body. An insertion hole for mounting a partition member to partition the rack is formed in the edge member. An insertion hole for mounting a guard to prevent falling of the commercial goods is formed in the edge member mounted to a front edge of the main body.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2005Date of Patent: April 17, 2007Assignee: Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kenji Sakanoue, Kouji Hayase, Kazuo Tetsukawa
