  • the cabin (2) is rotated from the vertical position, without moving the base (8), around the axis that connects the points where the supports (9) are secured to the side walls (3) and changed to the horizontal position where the rear wall (4) is almost parallel to the floor.
  • the support (9) comprises an L shaped arm (17) that preferably extends from the base (8) toward the side wall (3) and a pin (18) providing to secure thereof pivotally to the side wall (3) which forms the rotation axis.
  • the door (5) when the cabin (2) is in the vertical position, the door (5) can be opened forward by rotating around the axis it is connected to the side wall (3). And in the horizontal position changed by rotating, the door (5) can be opened upward by rotating around the axis it is connected to the side wall (3).
  • the multi-purpose utilization of the cooling device (1) in compliance with user preferences is provided.
  • the corners (C) of the side walls (3) adjacent to the rear wall (4) and the floor are rounded such that movement is not prohibited during rotation. As the cabin (2) is moved between the horizontal and vertical positions, this rounded corner (C) is continuously in contact with the floor. Thus, the rotation movement can be realized easily and in a balanced manner.
  • the support (9) comprises a fixing element (10) that provides to secure the cabin (2) in the horizontal and vertical positions. Accordingly, the cabin (2) can be used in a stable manner both in the horizontal and vertical positions.
  • the fixing element (10) comprises a lock (11) and a spring (12) that provides the lock (11) to bear on the side wall (3) in a prestressed manner.
  • the side wall (3) comprises two holes (13, 113) positioned to align with the lock (11) when the cabin (2) is changed to the vertical and horizontal positions. Accordingly, when the cabin (2) changes to the vertical position, the lock (11) pushed by the spring (12) is seated in the hole (13) and provides locking in the vertical position.
  • the lock (11) moves by dislodging from the hole (13) and when the cabin (2) is changed to the horizontal position, is pushed by the spring (12) and is seated in the other hole (113) and provides locking in the horizontal position.
  • the fixing element (10) comprises an intermediate component (14) secured on the side wall (3), and whereon holes (13, 113) are arranged. Consequently, the fixing element (10) can be easily mounted to the cooling device (1).
  • the cooling device (1) furthermore comprises resilient pipes (16) that connect the refrigeration elements (15) such as the condenser, evaporator, capillaries and the compressor (6) providing execution of the refrigeration process to the refrigeration elements (15) for the delivery and return of the refrigerant. Consequently, the connections between the compressor (6) and the refrigeration elements (15) are prevented from being affected by the rotation movement.
  • the refrigeration elements (15) such as the condenser, evaporator, capillaries and the compressor (6) providing execution of the refrigeration process to the refrigeration elements (15) for the delivery and return of the refrigerant. Consequently, the connections between the compressor (6) and the refrigeration elements (15) are prevented from being affected by the rotation movement.
  • the refrigeration elements (15) are situated on the rear wall (4) while the cooling device (1) is used in the vertical position.
  • the refrigeration elements (15) remain between the cabin (2) and the floor when the cabin (2) is changed to the horizontal position by rotating.
  • the cooling device (1) furthermore comprises legs (19) disposed on the rear wall (4) that provide the height for preventing the refrigeration elements (15) from contacting the floor when the cabin (2) is changed to the horizontal position and the rear wall (4) faces the floor.
  • the cabin (2) can be used both in the horizontal and vertical positions thereby the position of the cabin (2) can be arranged to be in compliance with the user needs. Moreover, since the base (8) and compressor (6) secured on the base (8) are not moved while the cabin (2) is changed from the horizontal position to the vertical position, the oil in the compressor (6) is prevented from mixing in the refrigerant.
