Definitions

  • This invention relates to the mechanisms which ensure easy opening of the doors of the cooler devices.
  • the document no DE29912563U1 discloses a cooler device according the preamble of claim 1, with an opening device for a refrigerator door, which comprises a seal positioned between body of the refrigerator and the door and a cylindrically shaped handlebar held by two gripping plates.
  • Said opening device comprises a plate spring mounted into a plastic element from one end and connected to the handle and a polygon profile which is fixed by the plate spring.
  • the plate spring encircles half circumference of the polygon profile and extends along the handle.
  • the seal keeps the door tightly.
  • a force is applied on the handle and the polygonal profile is rotated by the spring.
  • the plastic element pushes the body of the refrigerator so as to deform the sealing property of the seal providing pressure equalization between interior of the refrigerator interior and ambient air so that the door can be opened.
  • An aim of the invention is to create a cooler device, the door of which can be opened easily.
  • Another aim of the invention is to develop a mechanism in order to ensure the door of the said cooler door to be opened easily.
  • a further aim of the invention is to develop a door opening mechanism which is applicable to many cooler devices without difficulty.
  • Still a further aim of the invention is to create an easy to produce, cheap and secure cooler device and a door opening mechanism related to this device.
  • the cooler device (A) shown in the Figure 1 comprises at least one door (for example with hinge) which is used for accessing to the inner volume of the body (12) and is connected to this body (12), and also at least one door opening mechanism (2) which is developed for opening the door (1) easily.
  • door for example with hinge
  • door opening mechanism (2) which is developed for opening the door (1) easily.
  • the door opening mechanism (2) shown in more detail in the Figure 2 comprises at least one body (4) which is fixed to device door (1), at least one skid (5) which can move within the body (4) by sliding and extends from one side towards the outside of the body (4), at least one arm (3) which is used for opening the device door (1) and activating the mechanism (2) (for moving the skid (5)) and is in connection with the body (4).
  • the skid (5) moves out from the other side of the body (4) or moves in the body (4). After the skid (5) moves out, the skid (5) pushes the device body (12) and the door (1) is opened by moving off the device body (12).
  • the skid (5) when the arm (3) is moved, the skid (5) is moved towards inside of the body (4) and it budges the seal (not shown in figures) between the device body (12) and device door (1) and pressure of the interior and exterior environment of the device (A) is get balanced, and then the door (1) is opened.
  • the device door (1) can be opened easily.
  • FIG 3 the interior structure of the mechanism (2) is shown.
  • a crank (6) which is fixed to the arm (3).
  • the crank (6) extends towards into the body (4) from an opening (13) in the part on which the arm (3) is provided and it can rotate about the pivot (8) within the body (4).
  • the arm (3) can rotate about (within the angle in which the opening (13) limits the crank (6)) said pivot.
  • the crank (6) is in connection with a skid (5) in the body (4) from its other side.
  • the skid (7) has the feature of sliding within the body (4) and end part (18) of the skid (5) extending towards outside of the body (4) can move back and forth by means of the rotation of crank (6).
  • At least one spring (14), (in the example in figure 3 , one end of the spring (14) is connected to a fixed part of the body (4) and its other end is connected to the crank (6)) which restores the positions of the arm (3) and thus the crank (6) and the skid (5), is used.
  • the skid (5) used in the door opening mechanism (2) is made of a flexible material and in a thin and long form.
  • One end of the skid (5) having the feature of stretching sideward in contrast to being Inflexible In the longitudinal axis is fixed on one side of the crank (6).
  • the flexible skid (5) can slide in a channel (17) in the body (4).
  • interspacing gap having the same width as the skid (5)
  • the front part (19) of the skid (5) can slide in the gap between the body (4) and the crank (6). This gap is formed in such a way that it has the same width as the skid (5), and thus folding of the skid (5) is prevented during its movement.
  • the sideward flexibility of the skid (5) and inflexibility along the longitudinal axis makes possible the skid to move without folding along the said longitudinal axis.
  • the end part (18) of the skid (5) extending from the body (4) to outside (gets into the channel (17) partly) is hard and can push the body (4) to ensure the opening of the door (1) or can budge the seal (not shown In the figures) located between the device body (12) and its door (1).
  • the door (1) can be opened easily by a slight movement of the arm (5).
  • force transmission is also regarded and thus, the door (1) can be opened by desired force.
