Definitions

  • the invention relates to a refrigerator or freezer with a handle which is hinged to a wall of the cabinet body and is provided on its inner edge region with a circumferential seal which bears against the end faces of the side walls and the top and bottom walls of the cabinet body.
  • the handle consists of the longer arm of a two-armed lever pivotally mounted on the edge region of the opening side of the door.
  • Fridge and freezer seals are usually made of elastomeric material with a closed, bellows-like hollow profile and a bar made of magnetized material attached to it, which, in order to ensure that the sealing profile fits tightly on the front sides of the cabinet body, on one on the front sides of the cabinet walls attached strip of iron, which forms the anchor for the magnetic strip. Since the magnetic strip attached to the seal must be torn off over a large area of the iron strip when the door is opened, a considerable force is required to overcome the magnetic locking force.
  • a freezer of the type mentioned is known, in which the shorter arm of the two-armed lever is supported by a roller directly on the front side of a side wall of the cabinet body.
  • the longer arm forming the handle of the two-armed lever is pivotally mounted about a transverse axis on the front side of the door, so that it is difficult to grasp and the overall large opening mechanism has an unsightly appearance.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a refrigerator or freezer of the type mentioned, which has a compact design, an easily accessible handle with which the door can be opened without great effort.
  • the handle designed according to the invention can be elegantly attached to the opening edge of the door, its good accessibility being ensured by the fact that it lies on the front of the door.
  • FIG. 1 shows the opening side of a refrigerator door in its closed state, in which the door is supported by a circumferential seal 3 with a bellows-shaped hollow profile on the end face of a side wall of the cabinet body.
  • a circumferential magnetic strip 5 is attached to the seal 3, which abuts an iron strip forming the anchor, which is attached to the front of the wall.
  • the handle 12 consists of a two-armed lever which is pivotally mounted about bearing lugs 13 on bearing blocks 14, which are fastened on a fitting part 16, about a vertical axis parallel to the door edge.
  • a plunger 15 is displaceably guided, which acts with its lower side 18 on the front side 19 of the cabinet side wall next to the sealing profile 3 when the handle 12 is actuated.
  • the plunger 15 consisting of a sheet metal or plastic strip is provided with an angled portion 20 at its outer end. On the outer end of the plunger 15 provided with the bend 20 acts the short lever arm 22 of the handle 12.
  • the actual handle part of the handle 12 is formed by the longer lever arm 23, which extends approximately parallel to the outside of the door in the unactuated state. Between the fitting part 16 and the bend 20 of the plunger 15, a bow-shaped leaf spring 25 is clamped, which acts on the plunger 15 and thus the handle 11 in the direction of the closed position.
  • the plunger 15 is supported in the direction of arrow C on the front side of the side wall, so that the door is opened with a large opening force.
