Abstract

See full text

A display cabinet includes a fiber optic cable having a first fiber optic cable portion introduced into a raceway of a door frame which is divided into fiber optic cable groups each exiting the raceway and being connected to light distributors located along vertical mullions/end frame members of the door frame to illuminate an interior area of the cabinet and products therein. Terminal end portions of individual fiber optic elements of each group are fastened relative to light-emitting holes of individual light distributors. Each light distributor includes a pair of wall portions at opposite sides of a bisecting plane of the light distributor with the light-emitting holes on either side being disposed with axes thereof at two acute though substantially different angles. A pair of ribs at a rear side of the light distributor effect reinforcement thereof and cooperate to fasten terminal ends of each fiber optic element thereto.
