An airtight device includes a container and an airtight cover on the container, and the airtight cover includes a fixing bracket, a door, and a pressuring handle. The fixing bracket has a through hole and a guiding slot, and the through hole communicates with internal space of the container. The guiding slot has adjacent first and second top surfaces, and the second top surface is higher than the first top surface. The door selectively covers the through hole. The pressuring handle pivoted on the door has a first section, a second section, and a rotating axis between the first and second sections, and the first section rotates relative to the second section. The second section receives a force to drive the first section to move from below the second top surface to below the first top surface such that the rotating axis pressures the door.

A modular merchandise display system is provided. The system comprises an enclosure, a first upper bracket and a first lower bracket forming a first pocket on a first side of the enclosure, and a second upper bracket and a second lower bracket forming a second pocket on a second side of the enclosure. A first security door is slidably and pivotally connected to the first upper and lower brackets. A second security door slidably and pivotally connected to the second upper and lower brackets. The security doors can be positioned exterior of the enclosure and then pivoted about the upper and lower brackets to be positioned substantially parallel to the front of the enclosure in a closed position. The security doors can then be secured to one another in the closed position.

A refrigerated display case includes sidewalls, doors, shelves, a cooling system, a cooling coil defrost system, product defrost lights, and a controller. The sidewalls and doors may define an inner volume of the refrigerated display case. The shelves are positioned within the inner volume of the refrigerated display case, are fixedly coupled with at least one of the sidewalls, and are configured to support a product. The cooling system provides cooling to the inner volume of the refrigerated display case and may include a cooling coil. The cooling coil defrost system provides defrost heating to the cooling coil. Each of the product defrost lights are oriented towards a corresponding one of the shelves. The product defrost lights are configured to emit radiative heating for defrosting the product. The controller is operably coupled with the cooling system, the cooling coil defrost system, and the product defrost lights.

A free standing display case with a product display system capable of displaying product and delivering multiple different messages with the illumination of the product and the illumination of a product display panel separable from each other with the information on the illuminated product display panel generated from a backlit panel.

Systems and methods are provided for bimodal refrigeration, which uses a combination of mechanical refrigeration and phase change material (PCM) cells to provide cooling for one or more units of storage, such as freezers, coolers, storage or display cases, open cases (without doors), closed cases (with doors), rack systems (with compressors located remotely), self-contained refrigeration systems (with embedded compressors), in an optimal and efficient manner. In some embodiments, the systems and methods employ intelligent controls which may monitor and receive input for system conditions, time of day, and other conditions, and turn on/off the mechanical refrigeration as appropriate to provide for efficient and cost-effective use of energy.

Disclosed is a display module including a transparent display panel and a frame to fix a side of the transparent display panel, wherein the frame has a communication unit to receive data from the outside, a controller to process the received data and to output a drive command corresponding to the processed data and a display drive unit to drive the transparent display panel in response to the drive command from the controller. A display system includes a system body and a display module detachably mounted in the system body.

A refrigerated merchandiser includes a refrigerated insulated cabinet having a front wall that is hingedly attached to the cabinet. The front wall is rotatable between a closed position covering a storage area in the cabinet and an open position permitting access to the storage area. An opening is provided in the front wall to permit merchandise to be removed from the storage area when the front wall is in the closed position. Adjusting the front wall to the open position permits pallets loaded with merchandise, including ice bags, to be loaded into the merchandiser with a wheeled lifting device such as a forklift or hand jack. The bottom wall of the merchandiser may be removable, such that the entire floor supporting the pallet may be removed and exchanged through the opened front wall. A roller may be provided on the front wall to help in adjusting the front wall between the open and closed positions.

A refrigerated sales cabinet (20a) includes a cabinet body (22a) providing a refrigerated sales space for supporting refrigerated goods to be presented therein; a door frame (21a) having a top post (34a), a bottom post (36a), and at least two upright posts (32a); wherein at least one of the posts (32a, 34a, 36a) comprises an air duct allowing to conduct air through the post (32a, 34a, 36a), and wherein at least one fan (18) is fluidly connected to the air duct in order to convey ambient air through the air duct.

A merchandise display system for storing and dispensing merchandise is provided. The merchandise display system includes an outer housing, a transparent front door, a refrigeration unit, and a door that includes an extended canopy. The merchandise display system also includes a front grille for a refrigeration system having, a surface adjacent a curved surface.

A merchandise display for displaying, refrigerating, and dispensing containers of a frozen product along an aisle may include a) a lower shelf and b) an upper shelf disposed above the lower shelf along a longitudinal axis of the merchandise display, c) a support portion operably coupled to the lower shelf and the upper shelf to form an assembly, radial extent of the assembly from the longitudinal axis forming a radial envelope of the merchandise display, and d) at least one refrigerating appliance configured to keep the frozen product frozen, disposed on the lower shelf or the upper shelf, and including a door configured to be moved between opened and closed positions to expose and close, respectively, the refrigerating chamber remaining within the radial envelope of the merchandise display.
