Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a refrigerated cabinet that is provided with an apparatus intended for keeping its door ajar, i.e. in a half-open position.
  • Refrigerated cabinets are commonly known to usually comprise a compartment intended for the storage of products, a door hinged on to the cabinet and adapted to be brought into contact with a frame of the same cabinet so as to close in an air-tight manner said storage compartment, and locking means adapted to hold the door in the closed position thereof.
  • locking or closing means are adapted to automatically cause the door to move against the frame surrounding the storage compartment, and lock the same door in a sealed, i.e. air-tight manner in the closed position thereof as soon as it comes into contact with such frame, e.g. by means of magnets properly arranged on the door itself and/or the frame.
  • the US patent application No. 2004/0189015 discloses a lock arrangement for the door of a refrigerator, which comprises a striker unit connected to the cabinet of the refrigerator, and a first lock arm that is pivotally hinged on to the door so as to be able to rotate about a horizontal axis between a locking position and a release position.
  • the first lock arm removably engages a first striking portion of said striker unit when said lock arm is in the locking position thereof.
  • the arrangement further comprises a second lock arm that is pivotally connected to the door, so as to be able to rotate about a vertical axis between a locking position and a release position, so that the door is kept ajar, and the second lock arm removably engages a second striking portion of the striker unit member, when this second lock arm is in the locking position thereof.
  • a combined lock arrangement for the door of a refrigerator which comprises a door handle provided with a member adapted to be adjusted into two different positions thereof. In a first position thereof, the profile of such member coincides with the profile of the handle, i.e. is flush therewith, whereas, in a second position thereof, said member protrudes from the handle and engages the handle coupling catch provided on the cabinet of the refrigerator.
  • Such member is made in a single-piece construction with an elastic protrusion engaging a groove of the handle.
  • the US patent No. 3,636,727 describes a refrigerated cabinet having a door hinged on to the cabinet and adapted to move into closing against the cabinet by engaging a mullion made of a magnetic material.
  • Checking members formed of a magnet coated with plastic material are adapted to be applied onto said mullion to keep the door slightly open.
  • FR-A-2834050 describes a device for keeping the door of a refrigerator ajar.
  • the door is held open by a two-position mechanism with a cylindrical housing which is attached to an inside wall of the refrigerator.
  • the mechanism has a sliding rod which when released is pushed outward by a spring to a position that holds the door open.
  • the door is held open by a rotating arm which is attached to an inside wall of the refrigerator, and which can be rotated into a protruding position wherein it abuts the door, keeping it ajar.
  • the refrigerated cabinet as generally indicated at 1, comprises a compartment 2 intended for storing products to be preserved, a door 3 hinged on to the cabinet and adapted to move into contact with a frame 4 of said cabinet to close in an air-tight manner the storage compartment 2, lock means adapted to hold the door 3 in the closed position thereof, at least an apparatus 5 to keep the door 3 ajar so as to facilitate aeration of the storage compartment 2 during the periods in which the refrigerator is not in use.
  • the apparatus 5 comprises an arm 6 that is coupled in a movable manner to an accommodating structure 7, which is adapted to support the arm 6 in an operative position and in a non-operative position thereof, said structure 7 being associated to the door 3 or the frame 4, and said arm 6 being capable of being selectively guided into said operative position and said non-operative position thereof.
  • the arm 6 When in the operative position thereof, the arm 6 protrudes from the door 3, or the frame 4, so as to prevent the door 3 to come into contact with the abutting frame 4, thereby keeping the door 3 ajar, i.e. in a partially open state; when in the non-operative state thereof, the arm 6 is on the contrary contained in the accommodating structure 7, i.e. does not protrude, thereby enabling the door 3 to come into contact with said frame 4 and close the storage compartment in an air-tight manner.
  • the accommodating structure 7 is associated to a lower edge 8 of the door 3 in the proximity of an inner wall 9 of the same door.
  • the accommodating structure 7 comprises a support member 10, on which there is provided a pin 11 adapted to rotatably engage the arm 6.
  • a correspondingly shaped edging 12 extends from the support member 10 to support the arm 6 in the operative position and the non-operative position thereof.
  • the arm 6 is capable of rotating, in a direction parallel to said support member 10, about the pin 11 between said operative position and said non-operative position thereof, said positions being situated at an angle of 180° from each other. In the rotating motion thereof, the arm 6 describes substantially a semicircle extending perpendicularly from the inner wall 9 of the door 3.
  • the arm 6 comprises a first end portion 13 adapted to engage the pin 11 and a second free end portion 14 comprising a stop portion 15 and an abutment portion 16, which extend on respective opposite sides relative to said second free end portion 14.
  • the shaped edging 12 has such a conformation as to enable the accommodating structure 7 to define a first accommodation 17 adapted to receive the stop portion 15, and a second accommodation 18 adapted to engage the abutment portion 16.
  • the arm 6 is capable of being rotated manually by a user about the pin 11, so as to be selectively guided into the operative position and the non-operative position thereof.
  • the stop portion 15 of the arm 6 is contained within the first accommodation 17, so that the arm 6 does not protrude from the inner wall 9 of the door 3, thereby enabling the door to move into closing the storage compartment in an air-tight manner.
  • the elastic means 19 comprise a helical spring, which has a first end portion thereof engaging the shaped edging 12, and a second free end portion thereof adapted to engage a recess provided in the abutment portion 15 of the arm.
  • the accommodating structure 7 is capable of being associated to the lower edge 8 of the door 3 of the refrigerated cabinet by means of screws engaging properly provided through-holes in the shaped edging 12.
  • the apparatus according to the present invention is particularly suitable for use in connection with refrigerated cabinets, in which there are provided closing means that cause the door 3 to automatically move against the frame 4 of the storage compartment 2 and shut the door 3 in an air-tight manner thereagainst, when said door comes close to such frame 4, e.g. by means of magnets provided on the door and/or the frame.
  • the apparatus according to the present invention may of course be attached to the door even on a side edge thereof, or a top edge thereof, as this may prove most suitable in view of particular needs.
  • the accommodating structure 7 may be alternatively attached to the frame 4 or be even provided integrally in the door 3 or the frame 4.
