A connecting device for interconnecting a vertical tube and a plurality of display cabinets for carrying display modules includes first and second connecting frames and a fastening unit. The first connecting frame is for mounting the display cabinets thereon, abuts against a front outer surface of the vertical tube facing the display cabinets. The second connecting frame abuts against a rear outer surface of the vertical tube facing away from the first connecting frame. The fastening unit includes first fastening sets fastening the first and second connecting frames together so as to clamp the vertical tube therebetween. The second fastening sets fasten securely the display cabinets to the first connecting frame.

A breath guard for a food serving system includes first and second supports positioned laterally offset from one another, a guide rail coupled to the first support and extending in a substantially longitudinal direction, an adjustable panel extending between the first and second supports, and an adjustment mechanism coupled to the adjustable panel and configured to selectively engage the guide rail in a series of locations. The adjustable panel is rotatably and translatably coupled to the guide rail and is rotatable relative to the guide rail about an axis of rotation that extends laterally. The adjustment mechanism prevents longitudinal movement of the adjustable panel in a first direction and allows movement in a second direction opposite the first direction when the adjustment mechanism engages the guide rail, such that the adjustable panel is selectively repositionable between a plurality of longitudinal positions.

A kit forms a display case or a part of a display case. The kit has at least one frameless side panel with a panel front side, a panel back side, a panel edge extending between the panel front side and the panel back side and four panel corners, and at least one profile strip, which extends along the panel edge from a first of the side corners to a second of the side corners. The profile strip has a fixation section covering either the panel edge and the panel back side in an edge region, or only the panel back side in an edge region, or only the panel edge, and a holding section being subsequent to the fixation section holding a cover or bottom plate. By the kit the display case can be assembled solidly and is easily disassembled.

An enclosure is provided for displaying artwork, historical documents, or artifacts that require controlled atmospheric conditions. The enclosure is of low cost and is less cumbersome as compared to existing microclimate enclosures. The enclosure is easy to set up, maintain, and monitor. The enclosure has a microclimate hypoxic/anoxic framing that protects against, oxidation of its contents, pests, and microbial growth. The enclosure is suitable for: paintings, works on paper, ephemera, textiles, mineral specimens, archeological metallic artifacts, animal skins and other organic items, rubber and polymers, and items susceptible to insect damage, water staining and tide lines from uncontrolled internal humidity conditions.

This museum showcase comprises a bearing frame and fixed and/or openable walls supported by the bearing frame. The bearing frame comprises a platform that includes joints connected to horizontal beams. The fixed and/or openable walls of the showcase are supported only by the joints. The weight of the walls is supported by the joints, whereas the horizontal beams are not subjected to significant stresses. It is thus possible to design the showcase in a particularly simple and therefore quick manner, choosing the lengths of each beam according to the dimensions of the showcase and leaving the support of the weights to just the joints.

A breath guard includes a first support, a second support, a guide rail coupled to the first support and extending in a substantially longitudinal direction, the guide rail including a rack defining a series of teeth, an adjustable panel extending between the first support and the second support, and an adjustment mechanism including a pawl rotatably coupled to the adjustable panel and configured to selectively engage the teeth of the rack. The adjustable panel is rotatable relative to the guide rail about an axis of rotation that extends laterally. The adjustment mechanism is configured to prevent longitudinal movement of the adjustable panel relative to the guide rail in a first direction and allow longitudinal movement of the adjustable panel in a second direction when the pawl engages the teeth of the rack, such that the adjustable panel is selectively repositionable between a series of longitudinal positions.
