  • This is between the rear Edge 12 and the back 13, a free space 14 available, in which a sliding cover is insertable. It can realize a small size for the space 14, if in the space 14, a U-shaped guide 15 is provided for a lid 8, the arranged parallel to the operating side 7 and hinged together Slats consists, so that such a shutter-shaped lid in the U-shaped guide 15 is inserted.
  • a handle part 8a is arranged on the cover 8, where the lid 8 can be gripped and moved handling friendly.
  • the lid 8 can be gripped and moved handling friendly.
  • This is at open removal opening 4 a good view into the receiving space 3 and thus also on ensures that it contains frozen goods.
  • the lid 8 made of transparent Material, such. As glass or plastic, is, this good insight is also at closed removal opening 4 ensures.
  • the freezer container 2 consists of a lower, box-shaped container portion 2a and an upper container portion 2b, of which the upper on two opposite sides, here on the left and right side, with respect to the lower container portion 2a is stepped.

  • the lower container portion 2a has a flat bottom wall 17 and of the latter Peripheral edge on vertically upwardly extending peripheral wall parts, namely a Front wall portion 18, a rear wall portion 19 and in between two side wall portions 21.
  • the upper container portion 2b has a front wall portion 22, a Rear wall portion 23 and between two side wall portions 24, of which the latter Side wall parts 21 overlap on the outside, see Fig. 2.
  • the side wall parts 24 can be formed by just extending strips. In the present embodiment are the side wall portions 24 with their upper and lower edges corresponding to the above-described rounding of the top by a hinted in Fig. 1 Curvature axis A curved.
  • the front wall part 22 is with respect to the axis of curvature A is arranged approximately radially, so that it with respect to the underlying front wall part 18 has a tilted forward tilt.
  • the rear wall part 23 is preferably in accordance with the semicircular shutter guide semi-cylindrical curved.
  • At least the walls of the lower container portion 2a are thermally insulated, resulting in a suggestively illustrated thermal insulation 26 is characterized. This applies preferably also for the upper container section 2b and for the windows 25a, 25b, the latter can be heat insulating windows, in particular those with a Space between at least two windows.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 is a freezer 1 with a Freezer 2 shown
  • the lower container portion 2a also higher is dimensioned, and consequently the receiving volume is correspondingly larger.
  • the freezer 1 and the freezer 2 on a support 27 arranged in the form of a table or a counter and that in a receiving hole 28 with a size adapted to the cross-sectional size of the lower tank portion 2a, the freezer 2 with its step surfaces 16 on the upper plate 29 or with its bottom wall 17 can rest on a lower plate 31 of the carrier 27.
  • the Deep-freeze unit 5 may be positioned under the carrier 27, for. B. under the plate 31st
  • the freezer 1 is mounted on a carrier 27 arranged in the form of a movable carriage or chassis 33 with wheels 33 a.
