A museum display case with climate control comprises a case bottom, a display space above the case bottom, a shelf inside the display space, and a housing for hygroscopic material facing into the display space below the shelf. The housing includes a housing window open in the case bottom, a housing frame fixed to the case bottom below the housing window, and a tray mounted in the housing frame. The tray is horizontally and vertically movable between a working position where the tray is raised vertically towards the display space at the window and a service position where the tray is at least partly pulled horizontally out of the housing frame.
A museum display case includes a display space, a filtration system and a climate control system to treat air in the display space. The display case also includes a first air circulation circuit and a second air circulation circuit, which are separate from each other and both originating and terminating in the display space. The filtration system is included in the first air circulation circuit and the climate control system is included in the second air circulation circuit. By providing two independent and separate circulation circuits it is possible to operate such circuits at different intervals, each according to its respective needs, thus avoiding, for example, unnecessary activation of filtration due to the need to intervene on climate control or vice versa.
In order to improve the behaviour of a museum display case towards objects exhibited therein, the display case is subjected to a heat treatment in which the museum display case is maintained at a treatment temperature for a treatment time. The treatment temperature is between 35° and 50° and the treatment time is at least 30 hours. In this way, the emission of harmful volatile substances, including VOCs (volatile organic compounds), is drastically reduced and consequently the objects displayed in the display case are not at risk of damages due to the presence of these volatile substances in the display case.

Museum showcase with hidden access to technical compartment
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 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.
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 guide system for a sliding door, including upper and lower guide mechanisms. The upper guide mechanism includes primary and secondary rails. The upper guide mechanism also includes a first slide unit and a second slide unit. The first slide unit has a rolling member on an upper horizontal track of the secondary rail, and a sliding block engaged on a vertical track of the secondary rail. The second slide unit has a rolling member on a lower horizontal track of the primary rail, and a sliding block engaged on a vertical track of the primary rail. Thereby, the upper guide mechanism is extremely strong. The weight of the door, entirely supported by the secondary rail, is discharged on the first rail by the two slide units to transmit both vertical and horizontal loads.
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.

Bell-type museum showcase, having pantograph lifting mechanisms
This showcase for the preservation and display of objects in a protected environment, comprises a bell, a base and pantograph mechanisms housed in lateral end regions of the base and formed by arms, pairs of arms and lower arms, the latter with a curvilinear configuration. The pantograph mechanisms are actuated by actuation systems housed at the bottom of the lateral end regions of the base. The showcase ensures an easier recovery of the space otherwise occupied by the actuation systems and at the same time an appropriate opening of the showcase.
This showcase for conserving and displaying objects in a protected environment comprises a case, fixed walls, an openable wall and a gasket housed in a seat formed in part in the fixed walls and in part in the openable wall, open towards the interior of the showcase. The showcase ensures better security, since the gasket cannot be reached from the outside (unless the showcase is open) and therefore any possibility of tampering is avoided.
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.
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.
A display showcase includes a base, fixed side walls supported by the base, at least one openable side wall, an upper horizontal beam mounted at the openable side wall, an upper ceiling mounted on the fixed side walls and on the beam, and a beam, a longitudinal tubular element, two head groups abutted at opposite ends of the tubular element, a tie rod longitudinally extended in the tubular element in a lower region thereof, coupled to the two head groups and taut therebetween.
This museum showcase comprises a display space visible to the public for receiving objects, at least a detection sensor of a parameter of the showcase and at least one of an alarm and an actuator for adjusting a parameter of the showcase. The museum showcase further comprises a processing unit and a showcase interface; the showcase interface is operatively connected between the sensor, the adjusting actuator and/or the alarm and the processing unit, in order to transmit information from the sensor to the processing unit and to transmit commands from the processing unit to the adjusting actuator and/or the alarm. The museum showcase is therefore completely controllable by means of the processing unit, which receives information from one or more dedicated sensors that is considered necessary for the specific showcase and which manages actuators and alarms so as to maintain the desired conditions and/or signal abnormal situations, according to the information received.

A showcase is described. The showcase has at least a vertical side wall with an inner face and an outer face, and at least a horizontal upper wall, with a lower face and an upper face. The side and upper walls are both made of a transparent material and are fixedly fastened to one another at respective edges; the edges of the side and upper walls are shaped so as to comprise respective contact bands facing one another and glued to one another. The contact bands have two horizontal contact bands, one on the edge of the side wall, the other on the edge of the upper wall, and extending between an inner bound and an outer bound, wherein the outer bound is internal with respect to the outer face of the side wall. The upper wall rests horizontally on the side wall and the weight of the upper wall weighs directly on the side wall, without stressing the adhesive with which they are glued, ensuring the safety of the showcase; furthermore, the junction line between the walls is not visible on the side wall, since the outer bound of the contact bands does not reach the outer face of the side wall.
A showcase for preservation and display of objects. The showcase has a fixed casing and at least one openable panel made of glass, mounted through opening supports on the fixed casing, openable externally towards a first side of the showcase. The opening supports have an upper asymmetric quadrilateral and a lower asymmetric quadrilateral having the same geometry, respectively comprising a short upper rod and a long upper rod and a short lower rod and a long lower rod; the lengths of the short rods are equal to each other, as well as the lengths of the long rods are equal to each other. The opening takes place in a single roto-translation step. The asymmetric quadrilateral system formed by the uneven rods determines a roto-translational movement of the openable panel towards the first side of the showcase, so that the openable panel leaves the opening space completely free.
A showcase for preservation and display of objects is described. The showcase has a fixed casing and at least one openable panel made of glass mounted on the fixed casing through opening supports, which have a pair of upper rods and a pair of lower rods, all having the same length as each other, pivoted to the fixed casing at respective first upper and lower rod pins, and an intermediate structure, pivoted to the upper and lower rods at respective second upper and lower rod pins. A hinging system is provided along the main direction, between the openable panel and the intermediate structure, so as to allow the openable panel to rotate with respect to the intermediate structure. The opening is divided substantially into two steps, with a first roto-translational movement of the intermediate structure and with it of the openable panel with respect to the case, and a second step, in which the hinging system is used to allow the openable panel to rotate with respect to the intermediate structure, until a completely open position is reached.
The showcase comprises a fixed case, an openable sliding door, closable on the fixed case, a compression sealing gasket, between the fixed case and the openable door, an upper guide and a lower guide mounted on the fixed case. The openable door is slidably mounted on the upper and lower guides, and both the upper guide and the lower guide are movable between respective extracted positions and respective retracted positions with respect to the fixed case. The showcase also comprises lower actuation means, adapted to move the lower guide from the extracted position to the retracted position and vice versa, and upper actuation means, adapted to move the upper guide from the extracted position to the retracted position and vice versa. The upper actuation means are operatively connected to the lower actuation means and/or to the lower guide, so as to move the upper guide into its extracted position when the lower guide is moved into its extracted position and to move the upper guide into its retracted position when the lower guide is moved into its retracted position. In this way, it is possible to open and close the openable door of the showcase by acting only from below, on the lower guide, without it being necessary to access the upper guide, which is moved by the movement of the lower guide thanks to the connection of the upper actuation means to the lower actuation means and/or to the lower guide.
