[0007] The invention described in Patent Document 1 had the problem that it was difficult to use if there was no space in front of the restaurant to set up a food sample display. In addition, there was also the problem that the display was not suitable for displaying multiple food samples because the food samples were individual units.

[0008] The invention described in Patent Document 2 is a vending machine, so it is easily visible to passersby, but there is a problem in that there is no space available to install it in front of stores, and installing it on the sidewalk or road would violate the Road Traffic Act, so it cannot be installed in storefronts.

[0009] The invention described in Patent Document 3 is a food display window installed in convenience stores and department stores, and is capable of displaying multiple dishes. However, there is a problem in that there is not enough space in front of the store to install a display window, and installing one on the sidewalk or road would violate the Road Traffic Act. Therefore, the display window cannot be installed in front of the store.

[0010] To provide a food sample display door that allows customers at a storefront to visually check a plurality of food samples being offered, even if there is no installation space at the storefront, the present invention has an objective of providing such a food sample display door. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] The food sample display door described in claim 1 is a food sample display door that is installed at an entrance of a building so as to be able to be opened and closed freely using a rotating means or a sliding means, and the food sample display door has a door frame body part that forms an opening, a transparent plate part at the front, and a show window part at the rear having two transparent opening and closing doors that can be opened like a double door or can be opened and closed like a sliding door, and is equipped with an insertion part that is inserted into the opening, and is characterized in that multiple transparent shelves on which food samples can be placed are attached inside the show window part, and support wheels are attached to the underside of the bottom plate part of the insertion part 10.

[0018] The food sample display door 1 of the present invention is an invention that enables restaurants that have difficulty setting up a display window for food samples 3 in front of their stores due to reasons such as the store's wall structure or a lack of space in front of the store to set up a display window displaying food samples 3 in front of their stores.

[0019] As shown in Figures 1 to 7, the food sample display door 1 of the present invention is a food sample display door 1 that is installed at the entrance of a building 50 so as to be able to be opened and closed freely using a rotating means or a sliding means, and the food sample display door 1 has a door frame body part 4 that forms an opening, and a show window part 2 that has a transparent plate part 11 on the front side and two transparent opening and closing doors 12 on the rear side that can be opened like a double door or can be opened and closed as sliding doors, and is equipped with an insertion part 10 that is inserted into the opening, and multiple transparent shelf boards 5 on which food samples 3 can be placed are attached inside the show window part 2, and support wheels 9 are attached to the underside of the bottom plate part of the insertion part 10.

[0020] As shown in Figures 8, 9 and 11, the food sample display door 1 is provided with shelf support posts 6 which are erected near the front and rear ends along the left and right side panel portions 13a, 13b in the show window portion 2 and have a plurality of holes 15 of a predetermined size spaced apart in the vertical direction, and the plurality of shelves 5 are fixed by clamping means 8 which are fitted into the holes 15 selected so that the intervals between the top and bottom are of a predetermined length, and the clamping means 8 clamps the shelves 5 in the vertical direction by shelf brackets 16 which are fitted into the holes 15 and support the underside of each shelf board 5, and a presser 17 which is fitted into the hole 15 located above the hole 15 into which the shelf bracket 16 is fitted and which is capable of pressing the top surface of each shelf board 5 downward.

[0021] Within the show window section 2, the food sample display door 1 has a long lighting means 7 attached in the vertical direction to the front surface of the shelf board 5 side of the left and right transparent opening and closing doors 12a, 12b as shown in Figure 4(a), or to the transparent board portion 11 side of the left and right side board portions 13a, 13b as shown in Figure 4(b).

[0022] The food sample display door 1 is installed at the entrance of the building 50 so as to be able to be opened and closed freely using a rotating means (e.g., hinge 40) or a sliding means (not shown) as shown in Fig. 5. The rotating means may be, for example, a hinge, a damper hinge, an auto hinge, etc., and any means may be used so long as the food sample display door 1 can be opened and closed by rotating relative to the building 50. In addition, the sliding means may be, for example, a sliding door, in which a rail is installed on the floor and wheels attached vertically to the lower end of the food sample display door 1 can slide while rolling in the left-right direction using the rail as a guide.

[0023] As shown in Figures 1 and 5, the food sample display door 1 may take the form of a double door that opens to the outside 51 of the store, with one side being a door 100 that is not the food sample display door and the other being the food sample display door 1, a form in which both doors on a double door are the food sample display door 1 (not shown), a form in which only one door can be installed because the entranceway is narrow, and the food sample display door 1 is used as a door (not shown), or a form in which a door that opens and closes by sliding is used as the food sample display door 1 (not shown), and any of these forms may be used.

[0024] The support wheels 9 support the underside of the bottom plate of the fitting portion 10 from below. Since the fitting portion 10 is thicker in the front-rear direction than the door frame portion 4 in the front-rear direction, the support wheels 9 are attached to the underside of the fitting portion 10 at a rear position away from the door frame portion 4 so that the fitting portion 10 can be used safely and stably by preventing it from falling over in a cantilevered state. The support wheels are attached to the inside side 52 of the store as shown in Figure 4, and are preferably fixed wheels or free wheels oriented in the direction of rotation so that the food sample display door 1 can be easily rotated when opening and closing.

[0025] In the case of a double door configuration as shown in FIG. 1, when a customer enters or leaves the store, the food sample display door 1 can be opened and closed at a radius R around a hinge 40 as the center of rotation as shown in FIG.

[0026] The food sample display door 1 comprises a door frame body part 4 that forms an opening, and an installation part 10 having a show window part 2 that is installed in the opening. If the show window part 2 is located between the top and bottom of the opening, it is difficult to see the food samples 3 placed at a height near the feet, and it is difficult to see the food samples 3 placed at a height above head height. Therefore, the show window part 2 is provided within a range of heights that are visible from passersby, and as shown in Fig. 12 or 13, the part above the top of the show window part 2 and the part below the bottom of the show window part 2 may be an advertising signboard part 20 used as an advertising signboard.

[0027] The shape of the opening may be any shape such as a square, a circle, a polygon, etc., as long as the fitting portion 10 including the show window portion 2 can be fitted into the opening. Since the fitting portion 10 including the show window portion 2 is fitted into the opening, the inner peripheral surface of the opening and the outer peripheral surface of the fitting portion 10 including the show window portion 2 have the same shape and size.

[0028] The fitted portion 10 has a front end fitted into the opening, and a support wheel 9 is attached to the underside of the bottom plate at the rear end. The front end of the fitted portion 10 may be aligned with the front end of the opening in the front-rear direction, or may be slightly protruding forward from the opening. In either case, the fitted portion 10 is fitted into the opening and supported by the support wheel 9 from below.

[0029] As shown in Fig. 12 or 13, the installation section 10 includes the show window section 2 and the advertising billboard section 20. The advertising billboard section 20 can be used, for example, by attaching translucent panels, on the front and back of which advertisements such as a store name, a catchphrase, and pictures are written, to make the billboard section 20 easily visible to passersby by lighting the signboard from the inside with lighting means such as an LED module.

[0030] As shown in Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. 11, the show window section 2 has a transparent plate section 11 provided at the front side, two transparent doors 12a, 12b provided at the rear side that can be opened like a double door or can be opened and closed like a sliding door, left and right side plate sections 13a, 13b, a top plate section and a bottom plate section, and has a transparent shelf board 5 on which a food sample 3 can be placed inside. A long lighting means 7 is attached in the vertical direction to the front surface of the shelf board 5 side of the left and right transparent doors 12a, 12b, or to the transparent plate section 11 side of the left and right side plate sections 13a, 13b. The transparent doors 12a, 12b that can be opened and closed can be opened and closed by an opening and closing means 21, for example, a magnetic latch that can be closed by the attractive force of a magnet and opened by pushing, or a magnetic catch that can be opened by pulling, and any means that can be held in a closed state and can be opened and closed easily may be used. When the opening / closing means 21 is opened, the transparent opening / closing doors 12a, 12b are opened and closed by hinges 41 as shown in FIG. 11 at a radius r as shown in FIG.

[0031] 8 to 11, shelf support columns 6 having a plurality of holes 15 of a predetermined size are erected in a total of four positions along the left and right side plate portions 13a, 13b in the show window portion 2 near the front and rear ends. The shelf support columns 6 are elongated columnar bodies having a plurality of holes 15 formed therein at predetermined intervals in the vertical direction, and the holes 15 have different heights. Therefore, by arbitrarily selecting the holes 15, the height of the shelf boards 5 can be freely changed, and the interval in the height direction between the upper and lower shelf boards 5 can be freely changed. The shape of the holes 15 may be rectangular or circular.

[0032] The shelf boards 5 of multiple tiers are fixed by clamping means 8 fitted into the holes 15 selected so as to set the intervals between the top and bottom to a predetermined length. The clamping means 8 clamps the shelf boards 5 in the vertical direction by shelf supports 16 fitted into the holes 15 and support the bottom surface of each shelf board 5, and pressers 17 fitted into holes 15 located above the holes 15 into which the shelf supports 16 are fitted and can press down the top surface of each shelf board 5. One shelf board 5 is fixed by the clamping means 8 at four locations, at the left and right ends and near the front and rear ends.

[0033] The shelf support 16 may have any shape as long as it can be fitted into the hole 15 of the shelf support column 8 to support the shelf board 5 from below, and for example is a columnar body having a length and thickness of, for example, a rectangular cross section which can be fitted into the hole 15 of the shelf support column 8, and having a length capable of supporting the shelf board 5 having a circular cross section, with the thickness of the other end being the same as or thicker than the thickness of the one end. Also, it is preferable to make the other end cylindrical since this makes it easier to stably support the underside of the shelf board 5.

[0034] The presser 17 may have any configuration as long as it can be fitted into the hole 15 of the shelf support column 8 and can hold down the shelf board 5 from above, as shown in Figures 8, 9, and 10. For example, one end side has a thickness and length to be fitted into the hole 15 of the shelf support column 8 having a circular cross section, and the other end side has an arm portion 17a having a length to a position where it can hold down the shelf board 5 from above toward the shelf support 16 fitted into the hole portion 15, and a presser portion 17b having an arc-shaped or flat bottom surface is attached to the lower end of a bolt 17c that screws into a female thread threaded into the arm portion 17a. The bolt 17c is screwed in vertically from above until it holds down the shelf board 5, and the shelf board 5 is sandwiched vertically between the presser portion 17c and the shelf support 16 to fix the shelf board 5.

[0035] The lighting means 7 may be a long lighting means 7 that is attached in the vertical direction to the front surface of the shelf board 5 side of the left and right transparent opening and closing doors 12a, 12b in the show window section 2 as shown in Fig. 4(a) and Fig. 11, or to the transparent board section 11 side of the left and right side board sections 13a, 13b as shown in Fig. 4(b), and may be, for example, an LED lighting fixture equipped with an LED line light source having many LED chips attached. It is attached to the transparent opening and closing door 12 with an adhesive or the like, and is attached to the side board sections 13 with an adhesive or the like or fixed by a fastening means.

[0036] In order to eliminate interference between the lighting means 7 and the components of the show window section 2, when attaching it to the transparent opening / closing door 12, a gap is provided between the rear end of the shelf 5 and the front end of the transparent opening / closing door 12 in the front-to-rear direction so that the lighting means 7 can be attached, and when attaching it to the side panel section 13, cutouts are provided in the left and right front end portions of the shelf 5, and a gap is provided in the cutouts so that the lighting means 7 can be erected in the vertical direction.

[0037] In either case, the wiring of the lighting means 7 passes through a hole provided in the bottom plate of the show window section 2, extends from the show window section 2 to the outside, and is inserted into a commercial power source.

[0038] The food sample 3 may be in the form of a sample of only the food, or in the form of a food integrated with a plate 30, as shown in Figure 12 or Figure 13. Means for integrating the food with the plate 30 include integral molding with resin, integral molding with polystyrene foam, adhesion with a magnet, adhesion with a hook-and-loop fastener, and any other means may be used.

[0039] Furthermore, the size of the food sample 3 may be any size, such as a miniature, a life-size product, or an enlarged model, as long as it can be placed on the shelf board 5.

[0040] The food samples 3 may be left placed on the shelf 5 when the food sample display door 1 is kept open during business hours, and when the food sample display door 1 is repeatedly opened and closed as customers enter and exit during business hours, the food samples 3 are fixed on the shelf 5, for example, by attaching a hook-and-loop fastener fixed to the bottom surface of the food samples 3 to a hook-and-loop fastener fixed to the top surface of the shelf 5.

[0041] Furthermore, by opening the transparent opening / closing doors 12a, 12b, the food samples 3 can be replaced individually while the shelf 5 is set in the display window section 2, or the shelf 5 with the food samples 3 placed on it can be removed, the food samples 3 can be replaced, and the shelf 5 with the replaced food samples placed on it can be reset in the display window section 2.

[0042] Moreover, the transparent plate section 11, the transparent opening and closing doors 12a, 12b, and the shelf board 5 are transparent plates made of transparent glass plates or transparent plate-shaped resin, so that the food samples 3 in the show window section 2 can be clearly seen. Moreover, the advertising signboard section 20 on the upper side of the food sample display door 1 may be provided with a signboard bearing the name of the restaurant, a logo mark, or letters or figures indicating the entrance, as shown in Figs. 12 and 13, and the advertising signboard section 20 on the lower side of the food sample display door 1 may be provided with a signboard that appeals to passersby, such as the restaurant's catchphrase, concept, and today's service contents, as shown in Figs. 12 and 13. The signboards may be brightly displayed by lighting means 7 from inside the show window section 2. [Explanation of symbols]
