Closing mechanism (1) for refrigerated display cabinets (2), of the type display cabinets (2) that implement a movable closing section (3), said mechanism (1) being disposed relating said movable section (3) with the body (4) of the display cabinet (2) to open and close it, and said movable section (3) having a part projected (8) over the product arrangement area (9), normally fully or partially materialized in transparent material, wherein the mechanism (1) comprises independent frontal displacement means and independent lateral displacement means on either side indifferently.

An edge trim for display cases, and methods for making edge trim, are described. Instead of using tape or an adhesive to attach trim to the outer rims of end panels, a shape pattern is created in an extruded trim piece. Then polyurethane liquid can be added to the interior of the panel so that it also fills in the shape pattern. When the polyurethane solidifies into foam it will create a tight bond between the panels and the trim pieces.

An interactive display case having a first frame, a plurality of storage areas within the first frame, a second frame, and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to detect an object passing through the interior of the second frame, identify an area within the interior of the second frame in which the object passes, where the area corresponding to one of the storage areas, and generate interaction data corresponding to the identified area.

A pan chiller system including a refrigeration package having a condensing unit, a heat exchanger and a pump for circulating a chilled liquid coolant, a pan chiller unit in communication with the refrigeration package and having an outer housing and a food well received within the outer housing and a plurality of hollow divider bars arranged within the food well. An opening is defined between adjacent divider bars, wherein each divider bar is configured for directly receiving the liquid coolant chilled and circulated by the refrigeration package.

A temperature-controlled display case includes a storage tank. The storage tank includes a single-piece inner skin having an integrated locating feature formed within and configured to locate a functional component of a refrigeration system relative to the inner skin. The storage tank includes a single-piece outer skin coupled to the inner skin and having an integrated mount formed within and configured to receive a caster for mobilizing the temperature-controlled display case. The storage tank also includes a first structural frame receiving a first end of the inner skin and a first end of the outer skin, and a second structural frame receiving a second end of the inner skin and a second end of the outer skin, wherein by said receiving of the inner skin and the outer skin the first structural frame and the second structural frame are configured to couple the inner skin and the outer skin.

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.

An edge trim for display cases, and methods for making edge trim, are described. Instead of using tape or an adhesive to attach trim to the outer rims of end panels, a shape pattern is created in an extruded trim piece. Then polyurethane liquid can be added to the interior of the panel so that it also fills in the shape pattern. When the polyurethane solidifies into foam it will create a tight bond between the panels and the trim pieces.

A glazing system includes at least one object displaying at least one body to be glazed. The body to be glazed incorporates a sealed chamber extending inside the body, the chamber having at least one inlet situated at the bottom of the chamber and at least one evacuation outlet situated at the top of the chamber. The system includes a refrigeration device having a refrigeration circuit coupled to the inlet and the evacuation outlet. The refrigeration device circulates a refrigerated liquid between the inlet and the evacuation outlet.

The invention is a container refrigeration case having at least one cooling air duct extending through a wide area of a rear wall unit and top unit, having a bottom region that accommodates a rolling container, and having side wall units. Cooling air is guided to circulate through the cooling air duct, a cooling air curtain traveling from top to bottom on the front side, and across the bottom region. The bottom region has a flat bottom structure situated under the container, an inner cover oriented toward the cooling chamber, and a floor-side duct section embodied under the inner cover which routes the cooling air duct from the front side to the lower, rear section of the cooling air duct.

A method and apparatus for a retrofit energy device and system to modify, manipulate and optimize airflow in vertical open-case refrigeration units. An open refrigerated display case includes a refrigerated display area comprising one or more shelves, an air outlet and an air inlet opening into the display area and spaced from one another, and a duct configured to direct air flow out of the air outlet across the display area and toward the air inlet to form an air curtain across the display area, each one or more shelves provided
