Abstract
A cabinet for displaying objects comprises a top part (1) resting on an under part and which consists of a top face, a rear side (3), left (4) and right (6) sides, a bottom face (10) and a front side (5) consisting of a glass sheet (25) pivotally fitted on the top face (9) to swing upwardly. The glass sheet (25) is surrounded by a frame (11) on all sides. In the region of the front side (5) a gas spring (13) is rotatably attached to the bottom face (10) in the region of each of the left (4) and right (6) sides and acts in the region of the middle of the frame (11). The pivoting movement of the front side (5) is effected by screw jacks (14) acting above each of the gas springs (13) and driven by electric motors. Synchronous operation of the two electric motors is ensured by an electronic control device.
