Abstract: A refrigerated shelf unit includes a housing, shelves arranged stair-like within the housing, an access opening arranged in the housing, and a night time cover assembly which closes the access opening. The night time cover assembly includes a shutter tube fastened to the housing, an insulating film with an upper end fixed to the shutter tube and a lower end, a tensioning rail arranged at the lower end of the insulating film, and a pivot arm. The insulating film is rolled on the shutter tube when the night time cover assembly is open and is rolled off the shutter tube to span the access opening when the night time cover assembly is closed. An upper and lower end of the pivot arm are hinged to hinges which are inclined so that a pivot plane of the pivot arm is inclined by 10° to 70° with respect to a vertical plane.
