    Abstract: This invention relates to a refrigerated food storage unit (1) comprising a cabinet (3) having a food storage compartment (5), a refrigeration compartment (7), a transparent display shield (9) covering the food storage compartment and an opening (11) in the display shield adjacent the rear (29) of the cabinet (3) to allow access to the food storage compartment (5). The refrigeration compartment comprises a chilling unit, a fan unit and an air circulation duct. A baffle plate (31) having a plurality of apertures therein is placed in an air circulation duct intermediate the fan unit and the chilling unit. The air is dispersed by the baffle plate evenly across the entire width of the refrigeration unit prior to coming into contact with the chilling unit thereby providing a more uniform chilling of the air prior to delivering the air to the food in the food storage compartment.

    Abstract: A hinged EAS hard security tag comprises two units, the first unit being formed with a male pin 1, by which the tag is attached to the material of an object to be protected, and the second unit being formed with a female hole in which the pin is releasably locked. The two units are pivotally hinged together in a substantially permanent arrangement. The hinge 4 is preferably a floating hinge. The hinge pivots to allow the pin and tag to become aligned and parallel allowing the floating aspect of the hinge to guide the male pin into the female tag freely. The hinge may have springs integrated into it to bias the unit into an open position when not in use in order for it to be more easily removed at the point of sale. Multiple male pins and respective female holes may be provided.

    Abstract: A refrigerated food storage unit 1 has a refrigeration compartment 7 comprising a chilling unit 17, a tangential fan unit 19, an air circulation duct 21, and a baffle plate 31 which is located between the fan unit and the chilling unit. The baffle plate 31 has a series of apertures [see e.g. Figure 6] which help to disperse concentrated air flows leaving the fan unit 19 thus creating a more uniform chilling of the air as it passes across the chilling unit 17 before being delivered to a food storage compartment 5. The cabinet 3 also has a food storage compartment 5, a transparent display shield 9 covering the food storage compartment and an opening 11 in the display shield adjacent the rear 29 of the cabinet 3 to allow access to the food storage compartment 5. An air intake 23 is located at the front 25 of the unit to allow air to flow into the air circulation duct 21 whilst an air discharge outlet 27 is located at the rear of the cabinet to allow chilled air to exit the circulation duct and pass into the food storage compartment 5. The chilling unit 17 comprises a cooling coil having a plurality of overlapping vertically arranged fins mounted side by side across the entire width of the cabinet. The baffle plate may be of a two part construction [31a, 31b, Figure 6], and may be curved [see Figure 9].

    Abstract: A hot food storage unit comprises a cabinet 3 having a food storage compartment 5, a heating compartment 7, a transparent display shield 9 covering the food in the food storage compartment and an opening 11 in the display shield adjacent to the rear of the cabinet to allow access to the food in the food storage compartment. The hot food storage unit has a pair of primary heating units 30 each comprising a tangential fan 19 and a heating coil and a secondary heating unit mounted intermediate the primary heating units. The secondary heating unit includes an evaporator. In this way, the compact unit is able to provide relatively uniform heat distribution throughout the food storage compartment with different amounts of moisture in different areas of the cabinet. This is achieved without extensive partitioning in the food storage compartment.
