Abstract
A display case is provided with a compartment which stores merchandise for display and is divided into at least two chambers by a partition plate to enable storing different types of merchandise, each of which types is to be held under a predetermined temperature. These chambers communicate with one another through a communication gap which is defined between the partition plate and the window of the case and the opening and closing of the gap is controlled by a sealing mechanism to vary the temperature conditions within each chamber. The sealing mechanism includes a sealing element which is movably engaged with the partition plate and a retaining element is fastened on the partition plate to hold the selected position of the sealing element. Thus, the opening and closing control of the gap is easily operated without interfering with the visibility of the merchandise.
