Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cooling device comprising a door opening mechanism.
  • doors are provided that maintain to preserve the foodstuffs placed into the compartments from the outside environment.
  • mechanisms disposed at various places of the door and/or the body are used. Some of these mechanisms are not preferred because of high cost and some others get out of order easily due to their complex structures.
  • the handle bumps into the wall or furniture and damages both the wall or the furniture and also the door.
  • the packaging volume of the cooling device and hence the transportation costs are increased because of the door opening mechanisms.
  • JP2007147196 a refrigerator is described wherein an opening is situated on the doors of the refrigerating compartment and the freezing compartment. These openings provide the door handles, which are at the same level as the door, to be held and the door to be opened.
  • a cooling device that comprises a door handle that is on the same plane as the outer surface of the door.
  • An opening is arranged on the side of the door handle that enables the door handle to be held.
  • Japanese Patent Application JP 2004245491 discloses a cooling device having a door opening mechanism with a housing that protrudes from the door and that is closed by an L-shaped cover.
  • the cover is rotatable about an axis at the bottom of the housing and, forced by a spring element, abuts to a counterpart that is parallel to the front surface of the door, but not coplanar with same.
  • the cover can be pushed into an open position wherein its edge that contacts the counterpart moves outward and away from the counterpart.
  • JP 2004245491 discloses a cooling device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a cooling device wherein ease of transportation is provided.
  • a door opening mechanism is present which provides the door to be opened/closed.
  • the door opening mechanism comprises a housing formed on the door and a cover that closes the front of the housing so as to be coplanar with the outer surface of the door.
  • the cover is rotatably secured to the edge of the housing.
  • the cover is rotatably secured to one edge of the housing and extends up to the other side so as to almost entirely close the housing.
  • a recess is formed on the housing at the edge opposite to the edge whereto the door is secured.
  • the recess cannot be viewed from the outside.
  • the user desires to open the door, he/she pushes the cover with the backside of his/her hand and inserts the fingers of his/her hand pushing the cover into the recess which is now accessible. From this moment on, by means of the recess that serves as the handle, the door can be opened by pulling.
  • the door opening mechanism comprises two covers.
  • the covers are disposed on two opposite edges of the housing such that their free sides almost join at the middle point of the housing.
  • the free sides of the covers are back to back with each other.
  • the covers are coplanar with each other and with the door.
  • the two covers are positioned side by side.
  • the door can be opened easily from both sides and by both hands.
  • the two covers are positioned one over the other.
  • the doors hard to access by the user like the freezer door can be opened more easily.
  • the door moves back and forth on a rail and provides access to the storage container therein.
  • the pulling process can be made in a more balanced manner by using the lower cover or the upper cover.
  • the cover is mounted to a shaft that is disposed to the edge of the housing.
  • a spring is fitted on the shaft and provides the covers to resume the position of being coplanar with the door when in the free state.
  • the door opening mechanism furthermore comprises a stopper that prevents the cover to open outwards from the surface of the door.
  • the door opening mechanism providing the door to be opened, is prevented from occupying space on the door and the door from bumping to the wall or the furniture when opened. Furthermore, the exterior appearance of the cooling device is improved since the surface of the door seems like a single piece. On the other hand, the transportation costs decrease since the total volume of the cooling device is decreased.
  • the cooling device (1) comprises a body (2) having two opposite side walls, a door (3) providing access into the body (2) and at least one door opening mechanism (4) providing the door (3) to be opened/closed .
  • Doors (3) that provide superior heat insulation are used for separating the air in the interior volume of the body (2) from the outside environment and for preventing spoilage of the foodstuffs.
  • the door (3) is opened/closed by using the door opening mechanisms (4).
  • the door opening mechanism (4) comprises,
  • the cover (6) is fixed to one edge of the housing (5) so as to rotate only towards inside the housing (5).
  • the door opening mechanism (4) furthermore comprises a recess (7) disposed at the inner surface of the housing (5) at the edge opposite to the edge whereto the cover (6) is fixed and allows the user to insert his/hers hand when the cover (6) is pushed inwards as its front is opened.
  • the cover (6) extends from one side of the housing (5) up to the other side and almost entirely closes the front of the housing (5).
  • the door opening mechanism (4) comprises two covers (6), rotatably fixed to two opposite edges of the housing (5), almost entirely closing the front of the housing (5) such that their free sides are adjacent and being almost coplanar with the front surface of the door (3) when in the free state.
  • the covers (6) can only turn towards into the housing (5) from the free state and serve as a fixed arm when pulled from inside the housing (5).
  • the cover (6) that does not turn outwards serves as a handle and provides the door (3) to be opened when the user pulls the cover (6).
  • the door (3) is opened, the user takes his/her hand out of the housing (5) and the covers (6) return to their initial state.
  • the user can open the door (3) by using both of his/her hands. This provides ease of use.
  • the two covers (6) are positioned side by side.
  • the door (3) can be opened easily from both sides and by both hands.
  • the two covers (6) are positioned one over the other.
  • the two covers (6) are positioned one over the other. In cases where the user can access the door (3) by reaching or bending (for example the freezing compartment door), inserting his/her hand into the housing (5) from the top or bottom becomes easier.
  • the door opening mechanism (4) comprises a shaft (8) providing the cover (6) to be rotatably mounted to the housing (5), a spring (9) fitted over the shaft (8), providing the cover (6) to resume its initial position when pushed and released, and a stopper (10) preventing the cover (6) from turning outwards from the plane of the door (3).
  • the shaft (8) is configured such that it rests against the stopper (10) when the cover (6) is desired to be turned outwards.
  • the door opening mechanism (4) providing the door (3) to be opened does not project out from the front surface of the door (3) and prevents the transportation costs and thus the packaging volume of the cooling device (1) from increasing. Furthermore, visual integrity is obtained since the door opening mechanism (4) and the door (3) being disposed almost at the same plane and the exterior appearance becomes more esthetic. Moreover, the door (3) can be opened easily by both hands and customer satisfaction is maintained.
