Claims (58)

1 . A showcase comprising:

an accommodation space for accommodating an item therein;

a lower body defining a lower surface of the showcase;

a middle body extending upward from a rear side of the lower body to define a rear surface of the showcase;

an upper body defining an upper surface of the showcase, the upper body extending forward from an upper side of the middle body;

a transparent window comprising:

a first window defining a front surface of the transparent window;

a second window defining a left surface of the transparent window; and

a third window defining a right surface of the transparent window;

a base coupled to a lower side of the transparent window, the base having an upper side configured to support the item, the base being slidably coupled to the lower body to be movable forward and rearward with respect to the lower body such that the upper body and the first window are opened/closed therebetween, the middle body and the second window are opened/closed therebetween, and the middle body and the third window are opened/closed therebetween;

a blower located in the upper body, the blower being configured to circulate air in the accommodation space; and

a turntable rotatably coupled to the upper side of the base.

2 . The showcase of claim 1 , wherein a lower side of the second window and a lower side of the third window are supported by the lower body, and

wherein an upper side of the second window and an upper side of the third window are supported by the upper body.

3 . The showcase of claim 1 , wherein the transparent window further comprises:

a first curved surface portion connecting the first window to the second window to define a first vertical corner portion of the transparent window; and

a second curved surface portion connecting the first window to the third window to define a second vertical corner portion of the transparent window.

4 . The showcase of claim 3 , wherein the transparent window is integrally formed.

5 . The showcase of claim 1 , wherein the transparent window is made of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA).

6 . The showcase of claim 1 , wherein the showcase further comprises a lower guard coupled to an outer side of a border of the base, and

wherein the lower side of the transparent window is interposed between the base and the lower guard.

7 . The showcase of claim 6 , wherein the transparent window further comprises a plurality of first through holes extending through the transparent window at a lower side of each of the first window, the second window, and the third window,

wherein the base comprises a plurality of second through holes located at positions corresponding to the first through holes on a front side of the base, a left side of the base, and a right side of the base, and

wherein the lower guard comprises a plurality of hooks protruding inward from an inner surface of the lower guard, the plurality of hooks being configured to be hooked into the plurality of second through holes by extending through the plurality of first through holes.

8 . The showcase of claim 7 , wherein the plurality of hooks comprises a plurality of first hooks and a plurality of second hooks, and

wherein hooking locations of the plurality of first hooks in the plurality of second through holes and hooking locations of the plurality of second hooks in the plurality of second through holes are opposite to each other.

9 . The showcase of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of first hooks and the plurality of second hooks are alternately arranged.

10 . The showcase of claim 1 , wherein the transparent window further includes:

a first fin portion extending upward from a rear end of the second window; and

a second fin portion extending upward from a rear end of the third window, and

wherein the upper body comprises:

a first insertion groove located on a lower portion of a left side of the upper body, the first insertion groove extending in a front and rear direction such that the first fin portion is movable in the first insertion groove;

a first stopper located in front of the first insertion groove to limit forward movement of the first fin portion;

a second insertion groove located on a lower portion of a right side of the upper body, the first insertion groove extending in the front and rear direction such that the second fin portion is movable in the second insertion groove; and

a second stopper located in front of the second insertion groove to limit forward movement of the second fin portion.

11 . The showcase of claim 10 , wherein the first fin portion is integrally formed with the second window, and

wherein the second fin portion is integrally formed with the third window.

12 . The showcase of claim 10 , wherein the first fin portion is thinner than an adjacent portion of the second window, and

wherein the second fin portion is thinner than an adjacent portion of the third window.

13 . The showcase of claim 1 , wherein the transparent window further comprises

a third fin portion extending rearward from a rear end of the second window; and

a fourth fin portion extending rearward from a rear end of the third window, and

wherein the middle body comprises:

a third insertion groove located on a front surface of the middle body, the third insertion groove extending in a vertical direction, the third insertion groove being configured to receive the third fin portion therein; and

a fourth insertion groove located on the front surface of the middle body, the fourth insertion groove extending in the vertical direction, the fourth insertion groove being configured to receive the fourth fin portion therein.

14 . The showcase of claim 13 , wherein the third fin portion is integrally formed with the second window, and

wherein the fourth fin portion is integrally formed with the third window.

15 . The showcase of claim 13 , wherein the third fin portion is thinner than an adjacent portion of the second window, and

wherein the fourth fin portion is thinner than an adjacent portion of the third window.
