Abstract

The device (1) includes a deep-freeze container (2) which is accessible through at least one aperture (7), and which comprises a heat-insulating outside wall (4), and a deep-freeze element (15) for cooling a reception space (5) of the deep-freeze container. The outside wall of the deep-freeze container is shaped in form of a round, hollow cylinder, whose coat surface area comprises a flattening (A) which extends parallel to a central axis (11) proceeding through the centre of the round base.
