A method for construction of a museum display case is presented. The museum display case has a platform and a case above the platform, the case having at least one opening door. The method includes: providing glass panes, applying first metal beams to the glass panes beforehand by gluing, forming wall units, providing second metal beams at the opening door, forming the case by assembling the wall units together by means of the first and second metal beams, so that the first and second metal beams form a load-bearing structure only when the wall units have been assembled, and fixing the load-bearing structure of the case to the platform. With this method, the load-bearing structure of the display case is not formed by a frame to which the fixed and opening walls are then applied, but by the first and second metal beams, the former being already pre-glued to the glass panes of the fixed walls of the display case. This method makes the assembly of the display case easier and faster.

This museum showcase comprises a load-bearing frame comprising tubular beams with quadrangular section connected together by at least one joint, and is characterized in that the joint comprises two flat and parallel plates, wherein each plate comprises a middle portion and at least two attachment wings, wherein the two attachment wings of each plate are respectively inserted in a first and a second of the tubular beams and fixed to them. In this way, the showcase can be designed and built in a particularly quick and easy manner. Both the beams and the joints can be made starting from extremely simple and cost-effective semi-finished products (tubes and plates, respectively), with elementary processes, basically simple cuts to the desired sizes.

The museum showcase includes a base, a horizontal guide system placed along a sliding direction, and a case mounted on the horizontal guide system; the case is divided into at least two modules and each module comprises two vertical side walls connected to an upper horizontal top panel and to a lower horizontal bottom; each module is mounted on the horizontal guide system to slide in direction (A); the modules each comprise two end modules and each end module includes a vertical end wall, the vertical end walls being connected to the vertical side walls, to the top panel and to the bottom in the respective module (21). An abutment profile is on each of the modules, that is directed towards another adjacent module and extends at a free edge of the bottom, the top panel and the vertical side walls; and a single exhibiting plane.

A museum showcase includes a base, with a laterally accessible technical compartment and an upper platform, and an exhibition space above the platform, delimited by vertically extended glass walls. The glass walls include at least one multi-layered special glass wall, formed of an inner glass pane and an outer glass pane. The inner glass pane extends downwards to cover the base and includes an opening at the technical compartment. The outer glass pane extends downwards only to a height such that the opening in the inner glass pane remains free. The special glass wall includes an openable door shaped and sized to form an extension of the outer glass pane downwards to cover the base. In this way, the opening of the technical compartment is accessible by opening the door, without having to open access to the exhibition space. The inner glass pane ensures that the exhibition space remains closed.

A display stand (10) comprising a double wall construction, respectively, an inner wall (11), defining an inner volume (50), and an outer wall (12) enclose said inner wall (11), and said inner wall (11) and said outer wall (12) defining a display volume (60), said display stand comprising an elevated stand (13) elevating said double wall construction and display volume characterized in that said elevated stand (13) comprises an opening (30) providing access to said inside of said elevated stand and the inner volume of the inner wall (11).

A door for a refrigeration unit having a transparent panel assembly having an outer transparent panel and an inner transparent panel. The outer transparent panel has an outer side, an inner side, and top, bottom, left, and right edges and the inner transparent panel has an outer side, an inner side and top, bottom, left, and right edges. A decorative design is applied to the inner side of the outer transparent panel. A population of light sources are positioned on the top, bottom, left and/or right edges of the outer transparent panel and are capable of emitting light into the outer transparent panel, such that the decorative design is capable of being illuminated by the population of light sources.

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.

The museum showcase comprises a casing with at least one open side, a sliding door for closing the open side of the casing, a guide system to allow the horizontal displacement of the sliding door with respect to the casing, and an actuation system to cause the displacement of the sliding door on the guide system. The actuation system comprises a rack, integral with the sliding door and extending in the direction of its width, two drive pinions rotatably mounted on the casing and in meshing engagement with the rack. The two pinions are arranged spaced apart from each other in the direction of the width of the open side of the casing. It follows a very wide opening of the showcase.

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.

The showcase has a hinge comprising a fixed element, associated with the container body, a mobile element, intended to be associated with the door, and a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod hinged between the fixed element and the mobile element, so as to obtain an articulated quadrilateral adapted for causing a roto-translation of the fixed element with respect to the mobile element between an open position and a closed position of the hinge. The hinge also comprises a hook, associated with one from the fixed element and the mobile element and adapted for cooperating in a releasable manner with engagement means associated with the other from the fixed element and the mobile element, so as to counteract the movement of the mobile element away from the fixed element when the hinge is in closed position.
