  • US-A-5 596 880 shows a cooling device with a hollow cylindrical Cooling tank, from the back one projecting upwardly extending discharge line and therefore requires a back space.
  • the invention is based on the object, a freezer of the aforementioned To design a way so that a better space utilization is possible.
  • the freezer in horizontal section a one-sided flattened round cross-sectional shape on the peripheral wall is in the form of a hollow cylindrical circular basic shape, the lateral surface has a flattening, which extends parallel to a center axis extending through the center of the circular shape and is formed by a secant peripheral wall portion.
  • One Another advantage of the embodiment of the invention is that in the field of Rounded peripheral wall corners omitted and therefore avoided a bulky design and good accessibility is ensured.
  • the freezer according to the invention is thus suitable for installation both in rooms as well as on streets and squares, due to the relatively small size a relatively low weight is given and the freezer therefore relatively easy to transport to different places be, for. B. for a street sale of frozen goods.
  • the design of the invention is also energy efficient, as they are horizontal Cross section of a round shape approximates, where the relationship between surface and Volume is low.
  • subclaims containing features lead to simple Embodiments of an advantageous cover of the refrigerator and a Mounting option for a screen.
  • For children is through a window in the Peripheral wall of the freezer gives an insight into the in the receiving space of the Freezer available frozen food allows.

  • This is a arcuate portion-shaped peripheral wall portion 6a and a secantial Circumferential wall portion 6b formed. The latter extends in the area of a blunt Winkels W of z. B. 120 °.
  • the freezer 1 is suitable for the provision of frozen food both in enclosed spaces such as shopping malls, waiting rooms, canteens etc as well Streets and squares, especially for a street sale.
  • a generally designated 9 and in Fig. 1 suggestively illustrated cover can have one or more through holes 12 of such size that a manual Penetration and the removal of a frozen goods is possible. This is despite good Accessibility to the receiving space 5, a partial cover of the removal opening. 7 guaranteed.
  • the energy demand is caused by a cold accumulation caused by the cover significantly lowered.
  • the access opening 7 with a windbreak Assign access openings 12 the receiving space 5 from wind largely protects.
  • FIG. 1 to 6 is the protection by a dome or Hood formed in adaptation to the cross-sectional shape of the freezer container 2 a ball-shaped shape having a horizontal ball cutout side 13 and an approximately with the peripheral peripheral wall portion 6b aligned and slightly behind inside offset spherical section side 14.
