Definitions

  • the invention relates to a freezer according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a freezer of this type is known as a so-called counter top unit.
  • the freezer has a cuboid housing with a horizontal top, on the front of the freezer Removal opening is positioned in a horizontal arrangement.
  • a freezer with a freezer In the back of the Freezer container, from which the removal opening is offset to the front, is located a freezer with a freezer.
  • This freezer is designed to meet the need for a handy freezer with a cover relatively small freezer containers, and it should therefore be from be relatively small in size and as light as possible to make it z.
  • the freezer unit with associated holding parts takes up considerable space.
  • the well-known freezer has one considerable weight, which allows it to be installed in small and narrow spaces is difficult.
  • the invention has for its object a freezer of the type specified Art to design so that an improved handling while ensuring good manageability Insight into the freezer container is achieved.
  • the freezer unit is from the freezer container spatially separated and with this through flexible coolant lines connected.
  • the Freezer containers within the limits specified by the flexible coolant lines Scope of an independent unit, which is independent of the freezer on Installation site can be set up and positioned. This means that from Freezer unit independent installation variants possible.
  • a major advantage of Design according to the invention also consists in the fact that it gives a better insight into the freezer container and therefore the animation emanating from the freezer for the removal of the frozen goods is improved.
  • the configuration according to the invention is thus also conducive to buying.
  • the main parts of the freezer generally designated 1 in FIG. 1 are one thermally insulated freezer container 2 with an interior or receiving space 3 for Frozen goods, which can be opened and closed on the top Access or removal opening 4 is accessible and a freezer with a Freezer unit 5, which is indicated by flexible coolant lines 6 shown in the illustration with at least one freezer body (not shown) arranged in the receiving space 3 connected is.
  • the freezer 1 can on a carrier, for. B. a counter, a table or a cupboard. Due to the presence of flexible Coolant lines 6 consists of a through the length of the coolant lines 6 predetermined area a limited independence between the freezer. 2 and the freezer unit 5, so that the freezer container 2 is independent in this area can be adjusted and positioned by the freezer unit 5, e.g. B. in a position in which he is particularly visible.
  • the freezer unit 5 can in the by the length the coolant lines 6 predetermined area regardless of the freezer container 2 be set up, e.g. B. under the freezer 2 carrying carrier.
  • the top of the freezer container 2 is inclined toward the front or operating side 7, where it can be flat or slightly curved, preferably convex, such as it can be seen in the side view of FIG. 1.
  • the removal opening 4 is through a Optionally open and close cover 8. It can be a hinged lid act, which is about a hinge axis 9 preferably running at its rear edge is pivotally mounted. It is also possible to design the cover 8 as a sliding cover, which can be pushed a free space of the freezer in the opening movement m.
  • the removal opening 4 extends essentially over the entire length extending parallel to the operating side 7 of the Freezer 2 and only over part of the width b of the freezer 2, her front edge 11 is on the operating side and its rear edge 12 is a distance c from the rear 13 of the cooling container 2. This is between the rear Edge 12 and the back 13 a space 14 in which a sliding cover can be inserted.
  • a small size for the free space 14 can be realized, if there is a U-shaped guide 15 for a cover 8 in the free space 14, the from parallel to the operating side 7 and articulated together Slats exist, so that such a roller shutter-shaped cover in the U-shaped guide 15 can be inserted.
  • a handle part 8a is arranged on the cover 8 in the front end region, on which the lid 8 can be gripped and moved in an easy-to-use manner. Because of the inclination of the top and the plane of the removal opening 4 is the front edge 11 the removal opening 4 is arranged lower than the rear edge 12 open removal opening 4 a good view of the receiving space 3 and thus also the frozen goods in it are guaranteed. If the cover 8 made of transparent Material such as B. glass or plastic, this good insight is also in closed removal opening 4 guaranteed.
  • the freezer container 2 consists of a lower, box-shaped container section 2a and an upper container section 2b, of which the upper on two opposite sides, here on the left and right side, is widened stepwise with respect to the lower container section 2a.
  • Step surfaces 16 formed, which serve as contact surfaces for the freezer container 2 what can be described below.
  • the lower container section 2a has a flat bottom wall 17 and of the latter Circumferential edge extending vertically upward peripheral wall parts, namely a Front wall part 18, a rear wall part 19 and in between two side wall parts 21.
  • the upper container section 2b also has a front wall part 22 Rear wall part 23 and between two side wall parts 24, the latter of which Overlap side wall parts 21 on the outside, see FIG. 2.
  • the side wall parts 24 can be formed by straight strips.
  • the side wall portions 24 with their upper and lower edges corresponding to the The above-described rounding of the upper side by a hint shown in Fig. 1 Axis of curvature A curved.
  • the front wall part 22 is with respect to the axis of curvature A is arranged approximately radially so that it is in relation to the front wall part located underneath 18 has an inclined position tilted forward.
  • the rear wall part 23 is preferably semi-cylindrical in accordance with the semicircular roller shutter guide curved.
  • the Side wall parts 24 and / or in the front wall part 22 each have a window 25a, 25b formed, of which the existing in the front wall part 22 window 25a is a rectangular May have shape, while the windows 25b in the side wall parts 24 a different from may have a tapered shape at the front, e.g. B. half the shape of a slim ellipse.
  • At least the walls of the lower container section 2a are thermally insulated by what an indicated heat insulation 26 is marked. This applies preferably also for the upper container section 2b and for the windows 25a, 25b, the latter being heat-insulating windows, especially those with a Space between at least two window panes.
  • the embodiment is a freezer 1 with a Freezer container 2 shown, the lower container section 2a also higher is dimensioned, and consequently the receiving volume is correspondingly larger.
  • the embodiment is the freezer 1 or the freezer container 2 on a carrier 27 arranged in the form of a table or a counter in a receiving hole 28 with a size adapted to the cross-sectional size of the lower container section 2a, the freezer container 2 with its step surfaces 16 on the top plate 29 or with its bottom wall 17 can rest on a lower plate 31 of the carrier 27.
  • the Freezer unit 5 can be positioned under the carrier 27, for. B. under the plate 31st
  • the freezer 1 is on a carrier 27 in the form of a movable carriage or chassis 33 with wheels 33a.
  • the Freezer container 2 positioned laterally between the side walls 34.
  • Pin connections or stops can be provided which prevent the sliding movement of the Limit freezer container 2.
  • the rear area of the Sidewall portions 24 at 36 it is advantageous in the rear area of the Sidewall portions 24 at 36 have a lower projection on the upper sidewall portions 24 or to arrange a side projection on the lower side wall portions 21 which the Reach behind side walls 34 in the sense of a stop.
  • the side walls 34 can be formed on the front and back with rounded recesses 37, the weight save and improve accessibility.
  • the side walls 34 are through a horizontal bottom plate or cross strut 38 connected to one another and stabilized, on which the freezer unit 5 can be arranged can.
  • the coolant lines 6 are off Not shown for reasons of simplification.
