Abstract
A showcase includes a casing having a front opening through which a product is picked up, a product storage located in the casing, a cold air outlet in a front upper portion of the product storage, and a cold air inlet in a front lower portion of the product storage. Cold air is forced to flow out of the cold air outlet in a downward direction and sucked into the cold air inlet. The showcase further includes an inlet port in the front lower portion of the casing at a position below the cold air inlet, a duct, a discharge port in a side wall of the casing, and an airflow generator that forces air in the duct to flow from the inlet port toward the discharge port. The air is sucked through the inlet port and the air in the duct is discharged through the discharge port.
