A self-closing door assembly for limiting access to goods displayed on a shelving system. A frame assembly is attached to the shelving system adjacent the front edge of a first shelf, with upper and lower guide rails to slidably engage a pair of overlapping and self-closing doors. The doors are aligned to laterally slide open from a closed position at which they interfere with manual access to the goods displayed on the shelf. Biasing members disposed between the frame assembly and the doors urge the doors toward the closed position. The doors are adapted for manual engagement to be urged toward the open position, and the biasing members automatically return the doors to the closed position upon manual release thereof.

A security barrier apparatus includes an attachment portion structured to couple the security barrier apparatus to a display fixture, a support portion that couples to the attachment portion and a barrier portion pivotally coupled to the support portion. An input device coupled to the support portion, a control module coupled to one of the support portion and the attachment portion, and a locking assembly is in communication with the input device. The control module is structured to be in electrical communication with the input device and the locking assembly to signal the locking assembly to move to the unlocked state when an input is provided to the input device and further structured to signal the locking assembly to move to the locked state when the input ceases to be provided to the input device. When unlocked, the barrier portion is enabled to pivot between an open and closed position.

A display case including a frame with a first fastener, a door with a second fastener, and a bracket coupling the door to the frame is described. The bracket has a first end coupled a second end. The first end is pivotably coupled to the frame by the first fastener. The first end includes a first pair of spring arms having a first slot to couple to the first fastener and to allow the door to pivot between open and closed positions. The second end is slideably coupled to the door by the second fastener. The second end has detents on a second pair of spring arms and a second slot to allow the second fastener of the door to slide as the door is pivoted between open and closed positions. A first detent is positioned further from the first end of the bracket than a second detent.

A refrigeration system having a refrigerated enclosure and a door coupled to the refrigerated enclosure. The door controls access to the refrigerated enclosure. The door has a glass assembly, an outer frame surrounding an outer perimeter of the glass assembly, an insulation assembly coupled to the outer frame on an interior surface of the outer frame, and a heater system configured to heat the outer frame.

A security barrier apparatus includes a support portion connected to a display fixture, a barrier portion pivotally coupled to the support portion, an input device coupled to the support portion; and a locking assembly in communication with the input device and structured to define an unlocked state and a locked state. The locking assembly is configured to move to the unlocked state when an input is provided to the input device and is configured to move to the locked state when the input ceases to be provided to the input device. In the unlocked state, the barrier portion is enabled to be pivoted relative to the support portion between an open and closed position, and when in the locked state, the barrier portion is inhibited from pivoting relative to the support portion.

A frame assembly is attached to the shelving system adjacent the front edge of a first shelf, with upper and lower guide rails to slidably engage a pair of overlapping and self-closing doors. The doors are aligned to laterally slide open from a closed position at which they interfere with manual access to the goods displayed on the shelf. Biasing members disposed between the frame assembly and the doors urge the doors toward the closed position. The doors are adapted for manual engagement to be urged toward the open position, and the biasing members automatically return the doors to the closed position upon manual release thereof.

The museum showcase includes a supporting frame, at least one glass wall with an inner face and an outer face, and a fixing frame glued to the inner face of the glass wall by an adhesive and mounted on the supporting frame of the showcase. The showcase also includes for each glass wall a safety profile with a fixing portion and a retaining portion. The fixing portion is fixed to the fixing frame and to the supporting frame; the fixing portion rests at least partially on the inner face of the glass wall near its lower perimeter edge. The retaining portion is hooked to the perimeter edge of the glass wall to retain the glass wall against the fixing portion of the safety profile. The weight of the glass wall is therefore also supported by the safety profile, which reduces the shear stress to which the adhesive is subjected.

A display case including a frame with a first fastener, a door with a second fastener, and a bracket coupling the door to the frame is described. The bracket has a first end coupled a second end. The first end is pivotably coupled to the frame by the first fastener. The first end includes a first pair of spring arms having a first slot to couple to the first fastener and to allow the door to pivot between open and closed positions. The second end is slideably coupled to the door by the second fastener. The second end has detents on a second pair of spring arms and a second slot to allow the second fastener of the door to slide as the door is pivoted between open and closed positions. A first detent is positioned further from the first end of the bracket than a second detent.

A hinge for a swing closing element includes a hinge body and a third male or female connection element defining an axis that are coupled to each other to rotate with respect to each other between an open and a closed position. The hinge body includes a curvilinear guide slot defining an angular trajectory that lays on a plane substantially perpendicular to the defined axis. The third male or female connection element is engaged in the curvilinear guide slot so that upon the mutual rotation of the third male or female connection element and of the hinge body, the defined axis translates along the angular trajectory.
