MULTI-PURPOSE RETAIL DISPLAY MERCHANDISING CABINET WITH DETACHABLE COOLING SYSTEM
A multi-purpose retail display merchandising cavity is provided. An insulated case defines an internal product display area. The internal display area can be non-refrigerated and may only use a detachable fan cooling cartridge to maintain the ambient room temperature inside the internal product display area. Alternatively, the cavity can become refrigerated when a detachable refrigerated cooling cartridge is used to refrigerate the internal display area, thus allowing the cabinet to be easily and interchangeably used as either a dry goods cabinet for non-refrigerated goods or as a refrigerator for refrigerated goods.
MODULAR TANK FOR A REFRIGERATED DISPLAY CASE
A temperature controlled case includes a housing that defines a temperature controlled space; a cooling system in thermal communication with the temperature controlled space; and a modular tank supporting the housing and the cooling system. According to one embodiment, the modular tank includes: a body having a top surface, a drain defined by the top surface, and at least one groove defined by the top surface, wherein a groove of the at least one groove receives a component of the housing to couple the component to the modular tank.
REFRIGERATOR APPLIANCE AND AIR CURTAIN ATTACHMENT
A refrigerator appliance includes a cabinet with at least one shelf for displaying products, and a refrigeration system for cooling the cabinet. The at least one shelf includes a front edge located at a front of the cabinet, and an illumination strip extending parallel to the front edge and disposed at or near the front edge to illuminate products on the at least one shelf.
Serving counter, use of a serving counter
A serving counter for displaying refrigerated products in a display space thereof, comprising a display shelf that bounds the display space on a bottom side, which display shelf is configured for supporting the products to be displayed on a supporting surface thereof, a first refrigeration unit configured for supplying cooled gas to the display space via a wall of the display space and a second refrigeration unit configured for cooling the supporting surface. The second refrigeration unit comprises a refrigerating element for cooling the supporting surface in a manner distributed over the display shelf, wherein that the refrigerating element comprises a first refrigerating part and a second refrigerating part, wherein the second refrigerating part is configured for cooling the supporting surface in a portion of the display shelf remote from the wall and the second refrigerating part is configured for realising a larger refrigeration capacity of the supporting surface than the first refrigerating part, wherein the first refrigerating part is configured for cooling the supporting surface in a portion of the display shelf adjacent to the wall.
LINEAR CONFIGURATION LIGHTING MODULE AND APPLICATION THEREOF
A display case having end jamb lighting module and a center mullion lighting module is disclosed. The lighting modules include a shell and at least one substrate whereon lighting elements are mounted. The shell defines engagement slots used to affix the substrate to the shell. The shell defines an aperture allowing light from the lighting elements to be projected out. The lighting module may include a second substrate upon which electrical components are mounted, the electrical components for conditioning input power for the lighting elements. A reflective portion of the shell or a separate reflector mounted on the shell operates on the light to form a desired spatial distribution of light. An optical cover covers the aperture. The center mullion lighting module can include a third substrate for mounting of lighting elements. Alternatively, the center mullion lighting module can be formed by combining two end jamb lighting modules.
Drain cover
A drain cover includes a base portion including an outer rim and defining a collection area. The drain cover also includes a central portion coupled to the base portion and extending upward from the base portion, wherein the collection area tapers from the central portion toward the outer rim, and wherein the collection area is vertically lower adjacent the central portion relative to an outer periphery of the collection area.
Controlling the operational rate of the freezing or refrigeration unit in a showcase
A showcase control system 100 comprises a showcase operating rate detection unit 11 that detects a showcase operating rate of a showcase control unit 30 which controls freezing or refrigerating inside a showcase, an over-operating detection unit 12 that outputs an over-operating signal when the showcase operating rate input from the showcase operating rate detection unit 11 exceeds a predetermined value, and an air-conditioning control system 20 that curtails the energy-saving control of an air conditioner 50 when receiving an over-operating signal from the over-operating detection unit 12. Thereby, it is possible to comprehensively perform energy-saving control of a showcase and an air conditioner at a sales space where the showcase is installed.
Integrated center frame for a refrigerated display case
The present application provides a refrigerated display case. The refrigerated display case includes a number of tubs, a pair of end frames positioned about the tubs, and an integrated center end frame positioned between a pair of the tubs. The integrated center end frame may include a composite material retainer member and a composite material support base.
Merchandiser trim assembly
A merchandiser panel assembly including a panel body at least partially defining a cavity. The merchandiser panel assembly includes a trim base attached to the panel body and partially enclosing the cavity along an edge of the panel body. The trim base is defined by an elongated body and includes an attachment feature positioned along at least one edge of the elongated body. The merchandiser panel assembly includes trim coupled to an exterior surface of the trim base. The merchandiser panel assembly includes insulation disposed within the cavity and captured by the panel body and the trim base.
RETAIL SHELVING SYSTEM
A shelving system is provided. The shelving system includes an upper rail, and optionally a lower rail, from which one or more upright supports extend. The upright supports are slidable within the upper and lower rails so that a user may vary their location. A shelf mounts to the upright supports. The shelf includes interlocking deck panels and selectively removable support bars so that it may be assembled onto the upright supports.
