DESCRIPTION

A MOUNTING MECHANISM USED IN DISPLAY CABINETS Technical Field

The invention relates to a mounting mechanism developed for the purpose of being used in display cabinets which prevents frost and provides a high quality display.

State of Art

Today, energy consumption and costs continuously increase in heating and cooling, therefore; energy consumption and energy savings hold great significance for cabinets which perform heating / cooling. One of the greatest problems in cooling display cabinets is high energy consumption. Different types of cabinet designs try to decrease energy consumption.

In the state of art, plastic and aluminum parts, which completely cover the pool type deep freezer cabinets and which form the glass mounting structure along with the double - glazings, limit the clear visibility of the products being displayed.

Since profile connection parts in cooler display cabinets cannot operate together; a precision integration detail cannot be formed and a frosting problem occurs, which is known as condensation of the gas in the medium (condensation) and which is often seen on glass.

Frosting prevents a clear view of the displayed products by creating a visual inconvenience on the glass and it also results in a need of enhancing the power of the heater resistances which prevent occurrence of frost in order to overcome the problem of frosting.

Abstract of the application, with number TR2006 / 03411 found as a result of technical research, is related to a novelty regarding the production of the frames manufactured with aluminum profiles used in the furniture sector. A gap is formed by scalping the outer parts of the top profile in accordance with the size of a lateral profile in a manner that it can fit to the top and bottom parts of the lateral profile and it is flattened. By this manner, it is enabled that the profiles which are connected to each other fit each other perfectly. In the said invention, there are basic profile structures which provide interference fitting. A structuring which addresses the problem of frosting is not provided in the invention.

In application with number TR2002 / 02153 which is found in the conducted research, the invention is composed of two main parts of metal - backed PVC - coated double - glazing intermediate profiles. First of these is a PVC body and the other is a metal support. By separating the two glasses from each other, the metal - backed PVC - coated double - glazing intermediate profile enables the air to stay between two glasses, which results in a perfect insulation performance. Yet again, in the said structuring, no design addressing the frosting problem is provided.

In the application with number TR2015 / 12951 , which is found in the literature research, the invention is an intermediate slat profile (first structuring) which is used in the areas where the glass panels, which are used in the foldable covering systems used to cover balconies and terraces, contact each other and which enables the contact and insulation of the glass panels and a lateral frame profile which is used for the contact of the glass covering systems with walls. The said structuring does not provide a design with regards to the problem of frosting.

As it can be seen, there are solutions regarding profile and double - glazing mounting in the current art. However there are no structures addressing the above - mentioned frosting problem and providing a solution to the high energy consumption problem.

Consequently, a development in the technical field is required due to the disadvantages mentioned above and the current applications being insufficient to solve these problems.

Purpose of the Invention

The invention aims to provide a structure with unique technical properties, unlike the structurings used in current art, which provide an innovation to the field.

Main purpose of the invention is to enable transparency and elegance in the visual design to enhance the visuality of the displayed products and provide a clear visibility.

A purpose of the invention is to eliminate the frost problem which occurs due to the condensation of the gas in the medium on the double glazings and / or on the profile carcase structures encompassing the double glazing.

Another purpose of the invention is to provide at least 35 % decrease in the heater resistance power, which are used in designs minimizing the frost problem and which operate together acutely to prevent frost.

Another purpose of the invention is to provide a stronger glass structure to be used in the profile structures.

In order to achieve the purposes described above, the invention relates to a mounting mechanism which enables the connection of the glass structures used in the display cabinets. The mounting mechanism comprises a top mounting profile which is mounted to the glasses and which enables the glasses being fixed; a sliding cover profile which is connected to the top mounting profile and which enables a interference fitting; a sliding profile which is connected to the top mounting profile and which enables a interference fitting; a corner profile which is mounted to the glasses and which enables the glasses being fixed and an inner corner profile which is connected to the corner profile and which enables a interference fitting.

The structural and characteristic features of the invention and all its advantages will be understood more clearly through the figures below and detailed descriptions with reference to these figures. Therefore, the evaluation should be made based on these
