  • the invention relates to multi-stage cooling devices.
  • a freezer of this type is known as a freezer and is e.g. in Supermarkets used to provide packaged food, e.g. For Ice cream.
  • a known freezer has e.g. box-shaped, top side open housing, the removal opening through a cover or several to close adjacent lid parts made of transparent material and can be opened. In a known embodiment with several cover parts these are arranged in directly superimposed levels and in horizontal Sliding guides can be moved so that they slide over one another two lid parts free part of the opening of the freezer and the one below located part of the receiving space of the housing is accessible. For removal of a food is therefore a lid part horizontally over another lid part move and move back to its closed position after removal.
  • a freezer of the present type There are several requirements for a freezer of the present type.
  • a The essential requirement is determined by the type and quantity of the product that is in the freezer is to be provided. For a product that already has one a relatively small amount is sufficient to provide several days a relatively small storage room, which is then at certain intervals is to be filled. It should also be borne in mind that the frozen products from can be of different types or quality. There is an essential requirement thus ensuring good access to the products. Moreover is an existing freezer is a series product that should be possible to produce inexpensively.
  • the invention has for its object a freezer of the beginning specified type so that a better provision or presentation of frozen products and better accessibility to frozen products is achieved and at the same time the energy requirement is reduced.
  • freezer containers are provided, which are arranged in stages and therefore not only a differentiated provision of the Frozen products allow, but also better accessibility to the Ensure freezer containers or frozen products.
  • the frozen products can therefore be better present, with good and direct accessibility both for filling the Freezer container as well as for removing the products is reached.
  • Another advantage The embodiment of the invention can be seen in the fact that when using the Freezer less cooling energy is lost because cooling energy when opening only the only a small amount of lid assigned to the respective freezer container can escape. The remaining freezer containers remain closed.
  • the Design according to the invention takes into account the achievable Capacity also for a space-saving design, as it increases in steps Container spaces can be used.
  • the freezer has a plurality of freezer containers 2 which with respect to the operating side 3 of the freezer 1 to the rear in steps or are arranged ascending in a step-like manner.
  • Each freezer container 2 has its own lid 4 assigned to selectively open and close its top opening 4a.
  • the Lid 4 is preferably made of transparent material such as glass or plastic.

  • the walls of the Freezer containers 2 are thermally insulated by thermal insulation 6. A can only deep-freeze unit 5 for the joint supply of several each one Freezer containers assigned to the freezer are used.
  • the rearward offset v1, v2 from freezer container 2 to freezer container 2 and the height H of the top freezer 3 are taking into account the Body size of an operator so dimensioned that the freezer containers from the Operating page 3 are manually accessible and can be viewed.
  • the individual offset dimensions v1, v2 can be the same or different. this is also valid for the individual heights h1, h2, h3 of the freezer container 2.
  • the Freezer containers 2 preferably in the vertical from each other, so that the rear walls the freezer container 2 is arranged one above the other or through a common rear wall 7 are formed.
  • the front walls of the freezer containers 2 are 8, the side walls 9 and the bottom walls designated 11. Overlap in the present embodiment the upper freezer containers 2 each lower freezer container 2 about half.
  • the Volumes of the freezer containers 2 decrease with their arrangement from bottom to top, so that the lower freezer container 2 has a larger volume than that upper freezer container 2.
  • the height h1 is the lowest Freezer container 2 dimensioned larger than the individual heights h2, h3 of those above Freezer container 2.
  • the Reduce widths b1, b2, b3 of freezer containers 2 from bottom to top.
  • the Offset dimensions v1, v2 decrease from front to back.
  • the lengths L of the Freezer containers 2 can be different or the same as the embodiment shows.
  • the freezer containers 2 are placed on top of one another and to fasten them to one another.
  • there is an additional side wall 12 on each side arranged the width of which corresponds to the basic width b1 of the lowermost freezer container 2 is adapted and the front end of which is inclined obliquely or convexly rounded backwards is preferably pointed at the top or at a small top end.
  • the side walls 12 can be improved on the rear and / or on the bottom be concave, in particular be rounded in the form of an arc of a circle.
  • the freezer containers 2 arranged one above the other are of the same length L, can the common inner side walls by an upright according to the Sidewalls 12 continuous middle wall 13 may be formed, said middle wall 13th can form a common middle side wall for the associated freezer containers 2 or the freezer containers 2 each with their own inner side walls on the Middle wall 13 can be attached.
  • the middle wall 13 can with the top of the or lock the top freezer container 2 or this in accordance with the side walls 12 overtop.
