Abstract

This invention relates to a refrigerator (1) preferably a deep-freezer comprising lids (6) providing easy access to the compartments (4) for the user.

Description

These The invention relates to a cooling device and in particular on a freezer, the lids for flexible use by the users by means of light Access to the subjects includes.

coolers and in particular freezer devices generally have an inner body, the one from subjects consists. The subjects have the form of drawers or shelves and are covered with lids closed in a flat shape, preferably in the downward-upward direction or vice versa become. Such a cooling device is known from JP2000274929A. If it is required that higher items than The tray can be done in the device, one or more shelves can be removed but the lids in front of the shelves provide easy access to the subjects with elevated Hinder volume. In devices with drawer covers, which are in Be opened in an upward-downward direction, the user must open the drawer lid to get an item to take in the upper shelves, indicating the difficulty of use and the damage of the drawer lid caused.

The The object of this invention is to provide a cooling device, The covers included for enable users to use it flexibly while accessing the subjects.

The Cooler, the solution the object of the present invention is provided, is in the attached Drawing illustrates, wherein:

1 a schematic view of a cooling device is.

Access

Cooling devices and preferably freezing devices comprise a door ( 5 ), which is used for access to the device, an outer body ( 2 ), an inner body ( 3 ) and more than one subject ( 4 ), where food and / or drinks are housed.

The subjects ( 4 ), where food and drinks are housed, comprise one or more lids ( 6 ) of flat shape opened in an up-down or down-up direction and one or more shelves ( 7 ), which carry the accommodated objects.

The lid ( 6 ) includes a handle ( 8th ), which allows opening and closing by hand.

By removing the shelf ( 7 ) between two adjacent compartments ( 4 ) and the combination of subjects ( 4 ) is in the cooling device ( 1 ), which is the subject of the invention, a utilization volume ( 9 ) receive.

The usage volume ( 9 ) includes an access ( 10 ) passing through the lids ( 6 ) is covered.

For easy access to the usage volume ( 9 ) and to accommodate the objects, the lower section of the access ( 10 ) through a lid ( 6 ), which is opened at an angle of 90 degrees about a fixed horizontal axis (c1) in an up-down direction and closed in a down-up direction, and is the upper portion of the access (FIG. 10 ) through a lid ( 6 90 ° about a fixed horizontal axis (c2) at the entrance (fig. 10 ) is opened in the downward-upward direction and closed in the upward-downward direction.

If the user accommodates an item higher than the tray ( 4 ), he opens the lid ( 6 ), which covers the upper section of the two compartments ( 4 ) comprehensive use volume ( 9 ), in the upward direction and the lid ( 6 ), which covers the lower portion of the usage volume ( 9 ) covers, in the downward direction and brings the object easily by removing the shelf ( 7 ) between two subjects ( 4 ) under.

At the request of the user, the two compartments ( 4 ) by placing a shelf ( 7 ) in the volume of use ( 9 ) can be used separately.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, two compartments ( 4 ) of the upper section of the cooling device ( 1 ) and a usage volume ( 9 ) receive. Thus, by opening the lid ( 6 ), which covers the upper section of the usage volume ( 9 ), in downward-upward direction for the user, the easy placement of objects, which are particularly high, in cooling devices ( 1 ).

The open and closed positions of the lid ( 6 ), which determines the volume of use ( 9 ), make it easy for the user to use.

Claims (2)

Cooling device ( 1 ), which is a usage volume ( 9 ) with two adjacent compartments ( 4 ), each of which has a lid ( 6 ) in a flat shape, which is opened in an upward-downward or downward-upward direction, and accommodates food and drinks, characterized in that the volume of use ( 9 ) one or more shelves ( 7 ) and / or drawers carrying the accommodated articles, and the two compartments ( 4 ) a first compartment of a lid ( 6 ) which is opened about a fixed horizontal axis (c1) at a lower portion of the lid in an up-down direction and closed in a downward-upward direction, and a second tray from a lid (c) 6 ) which is opened about a fixed horizontal axis (c2) at the upper portion of the lid in a downward-upward direction and closed in an upward-downward direction. Cooling device according to claim 1, characterized in that the volume of use ( 9 ) an access ( 10 ), which, through the union of the first and second subject ( 4 ) by means of the removal of the shelf ( 7 ) between two adjacent compartments ( 4 ), an upper portion of the access ( 10 ) from a lid ( 6 ) which is opened about a horizontal axis (c1) in an upward-downward direction and closed in a downward-upward direction, and a lower portion of the access (FIG. 10 ) from a lid ( 6 ) which is opened about a fixed horizontal axis (c2) in a downward-upward direction and closed in an upward-downward direction.
