Definitions

  • Ice makers for use in refrigerators such as freezers or refrigerated freezers are known in a variety of forms that differ widely in their technical complexity from a simple tray of preformed wells filled with water and placed in the freezer until to the fully automatic devices connected to the mains water supply, which output finished pieces of ice into a pull-out drawer.
  • the US 2 040 634 A discloses a refrigeration unit having a refrigerated space in which a freezing chamber is disposed.
  • the freezing chamber has freezing trays, which are accessible through a recess of a cold shield.
  • the US 2,130,617 A discloses a refrigerator with a cooling chamber accessible through a door.
  • the cooling chamber is additionally protected by a frame with a plurality of windows with additional doors from heat input with the door open.
  • the US 2002/0014087 A1 discloses a refrigerator with a freezer and the freezer has a housing with an ice tray and an ice storage container.
  • the US 2 135 878 A discloses a refrigeration unit having a refrigerated space in which a freezing chamber is disposed.
  • the freezing chamber has freezing trays, which are accessible through a recess of a cold air shield.
  • any access to such an icemaker requires opening the door of the freezer so that hot air enters the interior of the appliance, undesirably warmed and moisture contained in it is reflected in the device.
  • Such a flap may also be provided in front of a compartment containing an icemaker.
  • it hinders rapid access to the icemaker with the result that the handling of the icemaker takes a long time, so that the door must be kept undesirably long open and in turn more heat and moisture than necessary penetrates into the device.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a freezer with ice maker, which allows quick handling of the icemaker with minimal entry of heat and moisture in the device.
  • a freezer with a heat-insulating housing and mounted in an interior of the housing icemaker, a frame and two pulled out of the frame Container comprises, the frame is housed in a closable by a flap which is pivotable about a respective horizontal axis extending parallel to its lower edge, closable compartment of the interior and the flap has a recess through which the container in the closed position of the flap can be pulled out , wherein of the two containers, a container is formed as Eis Suiteform momenter and the other container as a collection container for ice cubes.
  • Eis collaborateform overlaper is between a first position in which mold recesses of the Eis collaborateform portions are open at the top and in the filled in the mold recesses water can freeze therein, and a second position rotatable in which the Mold recesses are open at the bottom.
  • a knob of the icemaker, which serves to rotate the Eis Glaform portions is expediently also accessible through a recess of the flap with the flap closed.
  • the frame of the ice maker preferably has a front plate, which is opposite to the flap in the closed position of the flap and thereby covers the recess.
  • this is preferably provided with a handle which projects in the assembled position of the container via the front plate of the frame into the recess.
  • the container may be an ice mold container which may be filled with water and frozen to produce ice cubes, but may also be a container for finished pieces of ice.
  • Such a collecting container is expediently arranged below a Eis Swissform developingers.
  • This knob preferably acts on a first longitudinal end of the Eis Sharingsform presenters, and the freedom of movement caused by him
  • Rotation is limited by a contour cooperating with the opposite second longitudinal end of the Eis Swissform constituteers.
  • the latter is preferably elastically deformable by a torque acting on the knob.
  • the Eis collaborateform eliminateer is preferably rotatably suspended in a frame which is pulled out of the frame together with the Eis Shareform eliminateer.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a freezer with a housing 1 and an open door 2, which enclose a divided into several compartments interior 3.
  • Each compartment is closed by a flap 4 and 5, which is pivotable about a respective horizontal axis extending adjacent to its lower edge.
  • the flaps 5 of the three lower compartments are closed and are each with a provided over substantially the entire width of the flap extending recessed grip 6.
  • the recessed grip 6 is shortened, and in a lateral region of the flap, two recesses are formed, an upper, circular recess 7 and an angular recess 8 open towards the lower edge of the flap.
  • the lower, open-edge recess 8 is substantially filled by a handle 9, the (in Fig. 2 not visible) drawer of an arranged behind the flap 5 icemaker 10 belongs. Through the circular recess 7 through a knob 11 of the ice maker 10 is accessible.
  • the icemaker 10 has a frame in the form of two closed-walled half-shells 12, which are hooked on its underside pivotally to each other, and of which one on its upper side elastic strap 13 carries, which are snapped onto locking projections 14 of the other half-shell.
  • the bracket 13 By bending up the bracket 13, the half-shells 12 can be unfolded to expose their interior for maintenance or cleaning.
  • the knob 11 is rotatably mounted on a plate 15 which is pushed onto the upper front corner of the frame 12, 13 from the front.
  • a plate 15 On the shield 15 are two in Fig. 4 shown in section arms 16 which extend within the half-shells 12 over its entire depth, and at its opposite end of the plate 15 a vertical plate 17 carry.
  • a Eis Sharingform changinger 18 of substantially semi-cylindrical shape, which is parallel to the cutting plane of the Fig. 4 extending partition walls 19 is divided into a plurality of ice cube compartments, rests on concave inner surfaces of the arms 16 and is held in the longitudinal direction between the plate 15 and the plate 17.
  • the ice cube container 18 is firmly connected to the knob 11.
  • the shield 15 fits closely against the back of the flap 4, completely covering the edge of the recess 7. Accordingly, the front sides of the half-shells 12 are close to the back of the closed flap 4 and cover the recess 8.
  • the ice cube container 18 is elastically deformed, thereby releasing the pieces of ice formed therein and falling between the two arms 16 into a push blade 22 connected to the handle 9 in the lower region of the frame.
  • the drawer 22 is slightly smaller in cross-section than the open-edged recess 8, so that they can be pulled out by the latter. The release of the pieces of ice and their removal is done so without opening the door 4.
  • a modified embodiment of the ice cube maker is in the FIGS. 5 and 6 shown.
  • the shield 15 is omitted here; instead, the knob 11 extends directly through an opening at the front of the half-shells 12, and the ice-maker box 18 is sized to be withdrawn through this opening. Fig.
  • FIG. 6 shows the ice cube tray 18 resting on two downwardly extending arms 16 which are fixed in the frame 12,13.
  • a half-shell 12 carries a series of inwardly projecting hooks 23, one for each shape of the ice cube forming container 18.
  • the hooks 23 differ slightly in dimension so that upon rotation of the ice cube forming container 18, one hook at a time with a piece of ice in a mold the container 18 comes into contact and pushes it out of the mold.
  • the dissolved pieces of ice fall like the Design of the FIGS. 3 and 4 in a drawer 22 below the ice cube tray 18, which can be pulled out by means of the handle 9, without the flap 4 to open.
