Definitions

  • the present invention relates, as set forth in this description, a refrigerator, such as a refrigerator, a freezer, a fridge-freezer or the like, with a heat-insulating housing in which at least one cooling compartment is arranged, which has an access opening and that via a arranged on the housing heat-insulating door can be closed, which has a circumferentially arranged at its edge door seal, which rests at least largely tight in the closed state of the door at the edge of the access opening.
  • a refrigerator such as a refrigerator, a freezer, a fridge-freezer or the like
  • a heat-insulating housing in which at least one cooling compartment is arranged, which has an access opening and that via a arranged on the housing heat-insulating door can be closed, which has a circumferentially arranged at its edge door seal, which rests at least largely tight in the closed state of the door at the edge of the access opening.
  • refrigerators are packaged at the factory and then stored or shipped to outlets or outlets so that the refrigerator remains closed and, logically, a push of the magnetic seal of the corresponding closure door onto the edge of the access opening to the refrigerator itself, causing deformation of the magnetic seal , which at some point prevents the said door from hermetically closing, which leads to an increase in energy consumption through loss to the outside, this problem occurring both in the refrigerator and in the freezer.
  • This deformation caused by the pressure of the package is particularly critical when the user decides to change the position of the hinge of the door to modify its opening direction because, when the seal has been deformed, its length in the new position of the hinge does not rest on the edge of the access opening.
  • a refrigerator according to the preamble of claim 1 is for example from the US-A-4,317,516 known.
  • the invention is provided for preventing the deformation of the magnetic seal of refrigerators, which may be a refrigerator, a freezer, a fridge-freezer or the like, in which a heat-insulating housing in which at least one refrigeration compartment is arranged, having an access opening and which is closable via a heat-insulating door arranged on the housing, which has a circumferentially arranged at its edge door seal which rests largely tight in the closed state of the door at the edge of the access opening, means are provided, either on the housing of the refrigerator or on the door the same can always be incorporated releasably, and support the door against the housing such that the door in the region of its magnetic seal can not be pressed at a predetermined minimum distance from the housing.
  • the means are arranged on the horizontal operating door sections in the operating position of the refrigerator and the horizontal door end sections have positioning means which cooperate with the means and position the means at the Schoendabitesen.
  • Refrigerators may be disposed on the upper portion of the door of the refrigerator or on the horizontal lower surface of the door of the freezer (or both) of this refrigerating appliance, and therefore generally when the Refrigerators include two doors, two parts or elements are arranged, one for each door (or two) to perform the same function in both.
  • these stopper means are arranged at the ends of these horizontal door sections, either in the area near the hinge or in the area near the opening area.
  • the attachment of the stopper means, when it is the opposite side of the stop side of the door, be made in the recording, the for devices in which the opening direction can be changed, is arranged for the axis of the hinge.
  • the stopper portion on which the system is based is formed by a plate-like body of preferably triangular configuration in which the smaller vertex is rounded and in which one of the sides corresponding to this vertex has a pin over which it rests above the corresponding door is attached, specifically by receiving the same in a hole, which is arranged for this purpose in an area near the end of the horizontal door surface, which was mentioned above.
  • This plate also has, on the side corresponding to that of the spigot, a shoulder which subsequently fixes the supporting and stopping plane against the access edge of the refrigerating appliance, whereby it is determined that the door is prevented from being over a predetermined distance out, which corresponds to the length of the stopper serving as a body or part, is pushed against this access opening.
  • a projection serving as a guide for positioning in a counter guide provided on the inside of the door near the magnetic seal of the door, so that said part without Displacement possibility is perfectly positioned and held in position.
  • Both the said counter-guide of the door and the bearing bore for the journal of the stopper part can be formed in a plastic injection-molded closure element which forms the horizontal door end section.
  • the portion forming the actual support or stopper plane may have a "U" configuration, which support plane extends parallel and in the same direction as the attachment pin, with the particularity that this support plane has a lesser extension in length than the pin itself is measured.
  • This system prevents the magnetic seal of a refrigerator door or two doors in the case of a double door from being deformed by the thrust and pressure conventionally exerted by the door in its closed state when packaging the refrigerator.
  • This deformation of the seal caused by the pressure of the package is particularly critical when the user decides to change the position of the door hinge to modify its opening direction because, when the seal has been deformed, its length in the new position of the hinge does not rest on the edge of the access opening. Over the described stopper system, this thrust is prevented because the door can not be closed beyond a predetermined limit determined by the length of the stopper.
  • the packaging can be carried out without any problem, thereby enabling a more secure horizontal transport of the device.
  • the part 1 has a projection 4, which also belongs to the side from which the pin 3 protrudes, and in front of this approach 4 a projection 5 defining a guide, so that this and the neck 4 the entire width of Part 1.
  • the projection 4 defines at the ends a support plane 6, which forms the stop, as explained below.
  • the part 1 is arranged over the pin 3 on the upper, horizontal surface 7 of a refrigerator door 8 or on the lower surface of a freezer door of this refrigerator, as in FIG. 4 shown.
  • the pin 3 is received in a bore 12 made in this horizontal face 7 of the respective refrigerator door or freezer door, the flat and smooth surface being supported on the corresponding horizontal face of the door 8, while the projection forming the guide 5 is received in the counter guide 9, which defines a channel on the inside of the respective door 8, specifically between this and the magnetic seal 10 itself, which is to be protected, and which surrounds the door circumferentially its inside and opposite to the rim 11 of the access opening to the refrigerator.
  • the support base 6 which is defined as the edge of the projecting end 4 and that of the pin 3, stops against the above-mentioned edge 11, thereby preventing the door 8 from pressing forcefully against this edge 11 of the access opening, which in turn prevents the magnetic seal 10 from being pushed beyond a predetermined limit.
