Definitions
- the present invention relates to a handle element for a compartment partly enclosed by compartment walls having edges facing frontward, said compartment having an opening facing frontward and a door for selectively opening and closing said opening being movably attached to said cabinet.
- Said handle element has pivotally supported means and being attached to said door, said handle also having abutting means by which the door can be is physically forced towards a position at which said compartment is being open.
- a conventional refrigerator and/or freezer cabinet comprises an inner and an outer shell between which heat insulation is positioned.
- the cabinet is normally operated by a cooling system providing cooling energy to each or some compartments in said cabinet. Sometimes separate cooling systems operate different compartments in order to achieve substantially different temperatures in different compartments.
- the cabinet is provided with at least one door hinged on said shells, the door or doors contributing to enclose one of said compartments.
- the door is also provided with heat insulating means in order to prevent heat energy to leak into said compartment.
- gaskets are used in order to provide extra insulating capacity.
- the gasket/- s is normally attached to the part of the door edges facing the shells or on said shell edges facing said door edges. When the door is closed the gasket seals the space between said edges so that cooling energy inside the compartment does not leak out.
- a rubber encased magnet is often mounted inside said gaskets to stick the gasket fast to the edge it is facing.
- the other side of the gasket is normally permanently attached the door edge or shell edge for instance by gluing. This means that when the gasket is attached to the door the magnet will stick the gasket and door fast to the shell edge and thereby enclose the compartment.
- a problem with these kind of cabinets using magnet gaskets is that a large amount of pulling force is needed in order to overcome the magnetic force of attraction developed by the magnetic gaskets between the shell and the door. This is particularly true where the door is filled with bottles and cans standing in door shelves. Depending on the door size and position of the hinges the forces needed varies. Nevertheless, the need of a pulling forces its very tiring for th user.
- the present invention relates to a handle element for a compartment partly enclosed by compartment walls having edges facing frontward, said compartment having an opening facing frontward and a door for selectively opening and closing said opening being movably attached to said cabinet.
- Said handle element has pivotally supported means and being attached to said door, said handle also having abutting means by which the door can be is physically forced towards a position at which said compartment is being open.
- the handle element comprises locking means in order to enable for the element to be operated in at least two different modes, in which the abutting means (11) in a locked mode is hindered from being able to physically move said door and in an open mode is being able to physically move said door.
- the handle element also comprises at least one magnetic element.
- a gasket is fitted to a part of the door which is engageable with said edges of the compartment when said door is closed.
- the gasket can be is physically released from the contact it has with the edges when the door is being closed.
- Said gasket might have at least one magnet attached thereto.
- compartment walls and said door is being thermally insulated.
- Said compartment is a refrigerator or freezer cabinet compartment.
- said pivotally supported means consist in a grip in one part with said abutting means, said handle element comprising a chassis being attached to said door, the element also comprising supporting means providing interaction between the pivotally supported means and the chassis.
- Said supporting means might consist in two parts detachably attached to said pivotally supported means, which parts enable for the pivotally supported means to move in parallel with said chassis. Said parallel movement might be guided by at least two grooves formed in the chassis, each of said parts interacting with one of said grooves.
- said interaction enables for the handle element to operate in said locked mode and said open mode.
- the interaction between one of said parts and one of said grooves enables for said pivotally supported means to either being able to pivot or being fixed.
- said pivotally supported means pivots around an axis formed by one of said parts.
- Said locking means might comprise a locking latch pivotally and detachably attached to said chassis. Said latch enables for said pivotally supported means to at least move between two positions corresponding to the locked mode and the open mode.
- said pivotally supported means during said open mode being able to pivot and during said locked mode being fixed.
- Fig. 1 shows a blown out perspective view of a handle according to the present invention.
- Fig. 2 shows a perspective view of the chassis of the handle according to fig. 1.
- Fig. 3 a shows the handle according to fig. 1 in a first position of an open mode.
- Fig. 3b shows the handle according to fig. 3 a in a second pivoted position of an open mode.
- Fig. 3c shows the handle according to fig. 3a in and open mode when being switched to a locked mode.
- Fig. 3d shows the handle according to fig. 3c in a locked mode.
- any suitable cabinet comprises at least one thermally insulated compartment which is partly enclosed by compartment walls. These walls are often made of an inner shell and an outer shell between which thermal insulation is positioned. Especially the inner shell is normally made in one piece and then preferably forms the backside inner wall, the vertical sidewalls and the inner roof and floor of the compartment. The shell is also normally designed with engagement means for shelves etc. If the cabinet comprises more than one compartment these may be formed by the same inner shell made in one piece or by different inner shells. Most cabinets are then provided with one outer shell forming the outside of said cabinet. Each compartment in any such cabinet is chilled by a cooling system of any type. The cooling system used does not limit the scope of the invention.
- each compartment has an opening also facing frontward, though which food products are brought in and out of the compartment.
- a hinged door or a drawing door could preferably close the opening. If a hinged door is used it is preferably hung to the cabinet by hinges and if a drawing door is used it forms a drawer with guiding rails attached to the drawer and the compartment inside sidewalls.
- At least one gasket for avoiding chilled air to leak out of the compartment is preferably fitted to the part of the door which is engageable with the edges mentioned earlier. When the door is closed and encloses the compartment the gasket fills the space between the door portion closest to the edges and the said edges.
- the handle according to the present invention is attached to the door enclosing a compartment. None of the drawings accompanying the application shows where and how the handled is mounted on the door, but it should be understood that any position of the handle providing the necessary effects falls within the scope of the invention.
- the handle is shown in a blown out perspective view. All parts important are shown in the figure.
- the handle comprises a grip 10 designed in a user friendly way. The user catches the grip in a direction out from the drawing meaning that figure shows the handle from a side facing towards the cabinet.
- the grip is in one piece with a trigger part 11 preferably made in plastics or similar.
- Detachable attachment means for attaching the grip and trigger to the rest of the handle consist in two holes 12 and 13 in which two plugs 14 and 15 are engaged.
- the chassis 19, the latch 17, the spring 20 and the plugs 14 - 15 are shown more visible.
- Each one of the plugs used on the handle have, as seen on plug 15 in fig. 1, one part 26 with a larger diameter to fit inside the hole 13.
- the same plug has part 27, in one piece with part 26, with a smaller diameter facing the chassis.
- the smaller part is designed to cooperate with the chassis 19 as described later on.
- the plugs are in fig. 2 simplified in relation to how they are shown in fig. 1, meaning that only the part with the smaller diameter is shown. This makes it easier to illustrate the features of the handle.
- the chassis also comprises two holes 22 and 23 through which screws (not shown) attaching the handle to the door are positioned. The screws could for instance also keep the handle together since they extend through the whole handle. This is not necessary and should not be read as limiting for the scope of the invention.
- the handle of the present invention comprises means in order to operated in a locking mode described further down below.
- This locking mode is enabled as shown in fig. 3 c.
- the locking latch 17 When the user presses the locking latch 17 downward, see arrow 36, the latch will twist around its axis formed by the supporting pin 18. The latch will thereby reach the position shown in fig. 3c. Please notice that the latch also operates in a groove 37 at a lower level than the immersion groove 33.
- the position shown in fig 3c enables for the grip and trigger part 10 - 11 to be moved vertically downwards, see arrow 38, to a position shown in fig. 3d. When this is done the user can release the locking latch and it will be forced to its original position, see arrow 39, by the spring 20.
