Description

Description
A COOLING DEVICE
[0001] The present invention relates to a cooling device that comprises drawers.
[0002] In cooling devices that comprise drawers disposed one over the other, drawers are produced in various heights. Models having the same body sizes but of different drawer heights are produced due to reasons such as aesthetic concern, customer demands, habits in market. For example, an 80 cm high model comprises two 40 cm high drawers, yet another model comprises two drawers, the below being 30 cm high and the above being 50 cm high. Two separate body molds, wherein the positions of the housing for the beam disposed between the drawers to be mounted, are used for these cooling device models. Since the bodies of the said models are different from each other, installation times between the model transitions on the production line and stocking different bodies causes the amount of stock to increase.
[0003] The aim of the present invention is the realization of a cooling device comprising a body that can be used with drawers of different heights by changing the position of the beam disposed between the drawers.
[0004] The cooling device realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention is explicated in the attached claims. In the cooling device of the present invention, the beam dividing the opening into two, wherein the drawers are disposed, is mounted in two different ways. When the way of mounting of the beam is changed, the heights of the portions remaining below and above the beam change. Thus, cooling devices of same body sizes but different drawer heights are provided to be produced with the same body mold.
[0005] The beam is configured as a rod comprising two legs on the each end of which two legs are disposed. Legs on the ends of the "H" shaped beam oppositely extend against each other. In an embodiment of the present invention, lengths of the opposite legs on the ends are different from each other, while lengths of the legs on different ends extending in the same direction are equal to each other. Thus, directions of the legs change when the beam is mounted to the body by being turned upside down. [0006] The beam is mounted into two opposite housings disposed on the frame, wherein the ends of the beam are fitted. When the beam mounted into the housings in the first position is mounted into the housings in the second position by being turned upside down, an end different than the end in the first position sits in the housing. [0007] The total length of the legs on one end of the beam is equal to the total length of the legs on the other end. The height of the housing is as much as the total length of two legs sitting therein. [0008] By means of the cooling device of the present invention, cooling device models of different appearances and drawer heights are enabled to be produced by using a single body. [0009] The cooling device realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention is illustrated in the attached figures, where: [0010] Figure 1 - is the perspective view of a cooling device, wherein one of the drawers is open and the other is closed.
[0011] Figure 2 - is the perspective view of a beam and a body. [0012] Figure 3 - is the front view of the body when the beam is in the first position. [0013] Figure 4 - is the perspective view of the body when the beam is in the first position. [0014] Figure 5 - is the front view of the body when the beam is in the second position. [0015] Figure 6 - is the perspective view of the body when the beam is in the second position. [0016] The elements illustrated in the figures are numbered as follows:
1. Cooling device
2. Body
3. Opening
4. Frame
5. Drawer
6. Frontal
7. Beam
8. Housing [0017] 101 , 102, 103, 104. Leg
[0018] The cooling device (1) of the present invention comprises a body (2), an opening (3) disposed in the body (2), a frame (4) peripherally surrounding the opening (3), at least two drawers (5) disposed one over the other, pushed into the body (2) and pulled by passing through the opening (3), and at least one beam (7) extending from one side of the frame (4) to the other so as to remain between the drawers (5) (Figure 1).
[0019] The cooling device (1) furthermore comprises a frontal (6) mounted to the front side of the drawer (5), at least partially covering the opening (3) when seated in the body (2). When the drawers (5) are in the body (2), frontals (6) provide the opening (3) to be closed in an impermeable manner by bearing against the frame (4) and the beam (7).
[0020] The beam (7) divides the opening (3) into two compartments (U and A). The drawers (5) are disposed in these compartments. The beam (7) is mounted to the frame (4) in two different positions. When the mounting position of the beam (7) is changed, heights of the compartments (U and A) the beam divides the opening also change.
[0021] The cooling device (1) furthermore comprises two legs (101 , 102, 103 and 104) each, disposed on both ends of the beam (7), extending against each other. The "H" shaped beam (7) is mounted to the body (2) such that the legs (101 , 102, 103 and 104) will bear on the frame (4) and form some portion of the frame (4). Lengths of at least two of the legs (101 , 102, 103 and 104) are different than the others.
[0022] The beam (7) is disposed in two different positions by being turned upside down. The legs (101 and 103) extending upwards in the first position (Figure 2 and 3) extend downwards in the second position (Figure 4 and 5) and the legs (102 and 104) extending downwards in the first position (Figure 2 and 3) extend upwards in the second position (Figure 4 and 5).
[0023] The total heights of the compartments (U and A) are changed by changing the lengths of the legs (101 , 102, 103 and 104). For example, lengths (L1) of the legs (101 and 103) in one direction are equal to each other, lengths (L2) of the legs (102 and 104) in the opposite direction to these legs (101 and 103) are also equal to each other but shorter than the other legs (101 and 103). The height of the compartment (U) remaining above the beam (7) when disposed in the first position is equal to the sum of the distance (M) to the beam (7) and the length (11) of the legs (101 and 103) extending upwards. The height of the compartment (U) remaining above the beam (7) when disposed in the second position is equal to the sum of the distance (hi) to the beam (7) and the length (11) of the legs (101 and 103) extending upwards. According to the position the beam (7) is disposed to the frame (4) by being turned upside down, the heights of the compartments (U and A) can be changed as much as "L1-L2".
[0024] The cooling device (1) furthermore comprises two housings (8), which are oppositely disposed on the frame (4) and wherein the legs (101 , 102, 103 and 104) are disposed. The legs (101 and 102) on one end of the beam (7) sit in one of the housings (8) when the beam (7) is in the first position, while the legs (103 and 104) on the other end sit in the same housing (8) when the beam (7) is mounted to the housing (8) by being turned upside down. Therefore, the total length of the legs (101 and 102) on one end of the beam (7) is equal to the total length of the legs (103 and 104) on the other end in order to enable the beam (7) to be mounted to the housing (8) by being turned upside down.
[0025] Since the lengths of the legs (101 , 102, 103 and 104) are different from each other, the beam (7) stands at different heights when the beam (7) is disposed in the housing (8) in the first or the second position.
[0026] In another embodiment of the present invention, all of the legs (101 , 102, 103 and 104) are of different heights. The total length of the legs (101 and 102) on one end of the beam (7) is equal to the total length of the legs (103 and 104) on the other end in order to enable the beam (7) to be mounted to the housing (8) by being turned upside down. For example, the lengths of the legs (101 , 102, 103 and 104) are 5 cm, 8 cm, 10 cm and 3 cm respectively.
[0027] In the cooling device (1) of the present invention, by means of the beam (7) being able to be mounted to the housing (8) on the body (2) in two different positions, drawers (5) of different heights can be used in the lower and the upper position. Since cooling devices (1) are produced by using a single body (2) in models of different drawer (5) heights, both the investment cost is reduced and a decrease in cost is provided by reducing the diversity in production.
