Benefits of technology
The invention provides a cover for a merchandising storage unit that allows for simultaneous or unhindered access to the storage compartment from both sides without the need to open the cover. This reduces energy loss and allows for easy examination of the contents without compromising the customer or staff's vision. The lids of the cover can be opened by displacement towards the centre of the merchandising unit, providing access along the entire length at both sides without creating a pump effect. The cover also allows for good visual access without having to open the cover and initiating energy loss.
Problems solved by technology
The use of open refrigerating and freezing merchandising storage unit results in extensive losses of energy and it may therefore be provided with an essentially transparent cover.
However, this design only allows for access to the storage compartment in a maximum of half of the longitudinal direction, which limits access to the goods in the storage unit and makes refilling and cleaning of the storage unit difficult since it cannot be opened in the entire longitudinal direction at the same time.
However, the access to the storage compartment is similarly limited to a maximum of half of the top opening area.
However, operating this type is difficult for little people such as for example children.
This results in an undesirable energy loss.

first embodiment
[0027]As shown in FIG. 1, the cover of the storage unit 1 may be designed as a flat cover according to the invention, since the rails 5 are straight and the cover plates 6, 9, 10 are plane.
second embodiment
[0028]In the invention, the cover is designed with a curvature as shown in FIG. 2. The rails 5 are curved, so that the two rows of lids 9, 10 along both longer sides 2, 4 of the merchandising unit 1 and the centre plate 6 have a convex cover of the merchandising unit 1.
[0029]In FIG. 4 is shown an embodiment of the cover in an accompanying end storage unit which is located at the end of a merchandising unit of the type shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. The cover of the end storage unit is also divided into three sections so that a simultaneous opening of ⅔ of the top is possible. A fixed plate 6a is arranged at the back. Two displaceable plates 10a and 10b are arranged in a track 5a in front of the plate. The outermost plate 10a may be provided with a handle for operation of the cover.

A cover for a merchandising display unit (1) disclosed. The cover of the rectangular top opening of the storage compartment includes displaceable lids (9) arranged in two rows along opposing longer sides (2,4) of the storage unit so that access is provided to the storage compartment from both sides of the storage unit. The cover has a stationary cover plate (6) along a mid section of the storage unit and a rail system (5) with a number of parallel transverse rails between the two longer sides, and the lids (9) mounted between separate tracks in adjacent rails and are displaceable in a direction perpendicular to the longer sides (2,4).
Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001]This patent application is a reissue application for U.S. Pat. No. 8,162,413, issued from U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10 / 502,907, filed Jul. 28, 2004, which is a national stage application of International App. No. PCT / DK03 / 00046, filed Jan. 24, 2003, which claims priority to European Patent Application No. 02075390.1. filed Jan. 30, 2002. The foregoing applications are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties. TECHNICAL FIELD OF INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a cover for a merchandising display unit, in particular a refrigerated merchandising display unit, for display of goods.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]For many years, grocery stores have commonly used refrigerating or freezing storage units of the above-mentioned kind, which are accessible from the top along both sides of the unit to allow for an overview of the contents of the storage unit and for free and unhindered access from the top by the cu...
