description

The invention relates to a freezer and / or refrigerator with drawers.

Such freezers with drawers are known. It is also known, for. B. Vegetable fans in To equip refrigerators with drawers that often have a cover on their top.

When opening these drawers, however, heat penetrates from outside into the interior of the refrigerator. When using drawers on refrigerators, however, as little as possible should be opened or no heat enters the inside of the refrigerator.

Even when the refrigerator door is opened, heat enters the rest of the refrigerator, wel After closing the refrigerator, you will inevitably move into the area of the vegetable compartments distributed and thus there disturbs the cooling effect and increases energy consumption considerably. The object of the invention is to eliminate these disadvantages.

The solution to the problem consists in a refrigerator according to the characterizing part of the first Claim.

Further details of execution are marked in the subclaims.

Exemplary embodiments of the invention are described with reference to the drawings as follows:

Show it:

Fig. 1 shows a first embodiment in which the closure device is a flap.

FIGS. 2a to 2d, four embodiments in which the closure means are webs, which correspond with seals.

Fig. 3 shows an embodiment in which the closure device represents a pocket which can be moved together with the drawer.

The refrigerator ( 1 ) according to FIG. 1 has, for example, four drawers ( 2 ) which are guided in guides ( 5 ).

Cams ( 6 ) arranged on the drawer ( 2 ) interact with locking recesses ( 7 ) and guides ( 5 ) in such a way that the two positions - namely the inserted and extended position - are fixed.

The refrigerator has front openings ( 3 ) on the front, which correspond in number and size to the drawers ( 2 ).

In the uppermost, namely closed, position, the front opening ( 3 ) is sealed in a manner which is inherently customary by means of seals ( 9 ) which interact with the front of the drawer ( 10 ).

In the open position of the drawer ( 2 ), namely according to the second illustration from above, the remaining opening ( 11 ) is closed by a flap ( 4 a).

When the drawer ( 2 ) is removed according to the third representation from above, the front opening ( 3 ) is closed by the flap ( 4 a), in such a way that, for. B. a torsion leg spring arranged in the region of its axis ( 12 ) automatically leads to the closure.

Under certain circumstances, however, it may also be sufficient to close the door solely by heavy or a induce embedded permanent magnet.

The flap ( 4 a) has a circumferential, inclined zone ( 13 ) which corresponds to a corresponding zone ( 14 ) in the area of the front opening ( 3 ) in a sealing manner.

In the embodiment of Fig. 2a the drawer (2) webs (4 b) are located at the rear, wel che in fully open position together with a seal (4 c) closing the front opening (3).

In order to achieve a closure in the situation that is not fully opened, a fifth wall ( 15 ) can be provided, as indicated by dash-dotted lines.

In the embodiment of Fig. 2b the drawer (2) is disposed a web plate (4 d) releasably secured to the rear wall.

According to embodiments according to 2c of the drawer (2), similarly as in Fig. 2a in the rear upper region already described, arranged a fifth wall (4 f), but with the difference with respect to Fig. 2a in that the front of the fifth wall ( 4 f) the front web ( 4 e), preferably circumferentially, is arranged and hermetically seals the front opening ( 3 ) together with the seal ( 4 c) when the drawer ( 2 ) is open.

In the embodiment according to FIG. 2d, a circumferential sealing strip ( 41 ) is arranged on the rear wall of the drawer ( 2 ), similarly to FIG. 2a, but with the difference that a seal ( 4 h) is provided.

When the drawer ( 2 ) is completely pulled out, this causes the front opening ( 3 ) to be closed against the sealing strip ( 4 m).

The sealing strip ( 4 m) can be detachable so that the drawer can be completely removed or installed, so that the clear opening of the front opening ( 3 ) can be enlarged for disassembly and assembly purposes.

In the embodiment of FIG. 3, a closure device (4) is shown, which consists of a pocket (4 i) with a peripheral web (4 k) as well as a seal (4 c).

The bag is closed on five sides, that is to say it has a so-called fifth wall at its upper region, similar to that described under FIG. 2c.

The pocket ( 4 i) itself is detachably arranged at the rear end of the drawer ( 2 ), such that a coupling pin ( 16 ) is arranged between the drawer ( 2 ) and the pocket ( 4 i).

This can be pressed in against the pressure of a leaf spring ( 17 ), so that it releases the locking opening ( 18 ) on the drawer ( 2 ) and, as shown in the third position from above in FIG. 3, it can be removed they z. B. to clean and the like.

In the meantime, the pocket ( 4 i) remains in the foremost closed position of the front opening ( 3 ) and lies with its circumferential web ( 4 k) against the circumferential seal ( 4 c).

In order to prevent the pocket ( 4 i) guided in guides ( 5 ) from sliding back unintentionally, latching cams ( 6 ) are arranged on them, which correspond to corresponding latching depressions ( 7 ).

The invention is not limited to the examples shown.

So the device for closing the front opening ( 3 ) when pulling out the drawer ( 2 ) z. B. also be a blind, a roller blind and a bellows.

The guides ( 5 ) can also be telescopic, so that the drawer ( 2 ) in the fully pulled-out state is still resilient and remains in the horizontal position.

Claims (4)

1. freezer and / or refrigerator (1) having at least one front opening (3) and at least one of the chilled goods receiving drawer (2), wherein when pulling out the drawer (2) means (4) for sealing against the interior of the frozen and / or refrigerator ( 1 ) is provided, characterized in that the device ( 4 ) has the open top of the drawer in a length that results from the height of the front opening ( 3 ) relative to the interior of the freezer and / or refrigerator ( 1 ) closes and after pulling out the entire drawer ( 2 ) closes the front opening ( 3 ) of the freezer and / or refrigerator ( 1 ) from the inside. 2. freezer and / or refrigerator ( 1 ) according to claim 1, characterized in that the Einrich device ( 4 ) is a spring-loaded and self-closing flap pe ( 4 a) when the drawer ( 2 ) is removed. 3.
