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 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 through opening supports on the fixed casing so as to be 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 two short rods are equal to each other, as well as the lengths of the two 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. |
