    THE DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • In this detailed description, the subject matter of the invention is explained with references to examples without forming any restrictive effect in order to make the subject more understandable.
  • In the detailed description below, the subject matter of the invention is described to be applied on a body (11) of a cooling device (10).
  • In Figure 1, the representative view where a hinge plate (20) is assembled onto a lateral panel (12) on the body (11) of the cooling device (10) is given. A hinge plate (20) is assembled horizontally with respect to the lateral panel (12).
  • In Figure 2a, the lateral panel (12) comprises a base tab (121); and two housings (122) provided on the base tab (121). The housings (122) comprise two each lateral edges (123) and one each inclined connection tab (124) provided in the middle sides thereof.
  • In Figure 2b, the dismantled view of the hinge plate (20) on the lateral panel (12) is given. The hinge plate (20) comprises a base (21); a lateral wall (23) having a tab (231) extending in a horizontal manner on the base (21); and an assembly wall (22) embodied so as to overlap with the lateral panel (12). The hinge plate (20) is cut in hypotenuse form on the side thereof corresponding to the assembly wall (22); and the hinge plate (20) has a form similar to a trapezoid. Two assembly latches (211) are embodied from the base (21) towards the assembly wall (22) such that there is a certain distance in between, and there are channels (213) on the lateral sides of the assembly latches (211). There is an assembly gap (214) in the middle of the assembly latches (211). In the place where the assembly wall (22) and the base (21) are joining, one each housing passage opening (212) is embodied at the continuation of the assembly latches (211). The housing passage openings (212) are extending on the assembly wall (22) at a height where the housings (122) will enter.
  • In Figure 3a, a vertical lateral bent part (125) of the lateral panel (12) and a vertical opening (126) is illustrated formed on the lateral bent part (125). A gap (not illustrated in the figure) is formed wherein the hinge plate (20) can be placed at the point where the base tab (121) of the lateral panel (12) and the vertical lateral bent part (125) will join.
  • In Figure 3a and Figure 3b, the assembled form of the hinge plate (20) on the lateral panel (12) is illustrated. The housing (122) is passing through the housing passage opening (212) such that the assembly wall (22) of the hinge plate (20) is coinciding with the lateral panel (12), and the lateral edges (123) of the housing (122) are placed into the channels (213). The connection tab (124) of the housing (122) is placed into the assembly gap (214). Thus, the hinge plate (20) is locked with the lateral panel (12). While the hinge plate (20) is in assembled state, the lateral tab (231), provided on the lateral wall (23), is placed to the gap at the bottom part of the lateral bent part (125) of the lateral panel (12). The connection between the hinge plate (20) and the lateral panel (12) is in snap-fit form.
  • The protection scope of the present invention is set forth in the annexed claims and can not be restricted to the illustrative disclosures given above, under the detailed description. It is because a person skilled in the relevant art can obviously produce similar embodiments under the light of the foregoing disclosures, without departing from the scope of the present invention, defined in the claims.
