Definitions
- the invention relates to a display cabinet for frozen products or confectioneries such as ice cream, a kit having a display cabinet, at least one first container and a plurality of second containers having a different depth, a carrier for being horizontally movably arranged in a display cabinet, and a method for presenting frozen products or confectionaries like ice cream and refrigerated products or comestibles like humid toppings in a display cabinet.
- Display cabinets for low-temperature storing, presenting and distributing frozen confectioneries like ice cream are commonly known in the prior art.
- Ice cream for instance, is often served along with toppings like fruits, (fruit or chocolate) sauce, chocolate or the like.
- toppings like fruits, (fruit or chocolate) sauce, chocolate or the like.
- These toppings need to be refrigerated to keep them fresh.
- the toppings must be stored at a temperature of between +3 and +7°C, preferably about +4°C to be still flowable so that they can be dispersed/sprinkeled/spread/applied on the ice cream.
- the toppings cannot be stored in an area of the display unit similar to the containers used for the ice cream as the toppings would freeze therein and can then not be applied onto the ice cream. Therefore, toppings are stored separately in an additional refrigerator, which means that the consumer cannot visualize them.
- US 2010/0043471 A1 shows a convertible refrigerated display having a pair of sliding shelves that project inside a front wall of a glass compartment and are engaged with threaded bars extending vertically and being driven by a gear motor to move the shelves in a desired vertical position.
- the implementation of said sliding shelves including their driving mechanism requires a lot of space and must be installed at the time of producing the display device. Further, there is a need for additional electricity consumers thus further increasing the current consumption.
- the shelves are provided at a vertical position where they obstruct the customer's view on the frozen and displayed product in the containers and where the temperature is too high for storing/displaying toppings to be refrigerated. Also, the shelves are only movable in a vertical direction so that the goods placed on said shelves cannot be easily moved horizontally along the display cabinet.
- the present invention aims to improve on the above-mentioned drawbacks, and an object thereof is to provide a display cabinet, a kit, a carrier and a method for presenting products or comestibles which allow for ice cream or the like to be kept frozen and other products or comestibles (like humid toppings) to be kept refrigerated within the same display cabinet while the visibility of and accessibility to both the product groups is easy.
- a display cabinet for frozen confectioneries.
- the display cabinet comprises a refrigeration means and a display area disposed above the refrigeration means which is designed to receive at least one first container for ice cream or the like products to be kept frozen, i.e. maintained at a temperature preferably between -16°C and - 18°C, by the refrigeration means.
- the display cabinet further comprises a movable carrier or slide being horizontally movably arranged above the display area such that in each position of the carrier at least a part of the display area for receiving the first container is accessible from above (i.e.
- the carrier comprises a frame having an opening designed to receive at least one second container or having a flat or recessed supporting portion (like a cavity) made of a heat-conductive material for supporting the at least one second container for products like (humid) toppings to be kept refrigerated by the refrigeration means, i.e. maintained at a temperature preferably between +3°C and 7°C, more preferably around +4°C, and movable over the display area via the carrier.
- the products to be refrigerated are placed above the display area, they are further distanced from the refrigeration means and also distanced to first containers for storing and displaying frozen products.
- the second containers can be placed in a region having an ideal and constant temperature for refrigerating products like toppings rather than storing them at a distant location (like a separate refrigerator).
- the products to be refrigerated or the bottom of the second container is preferably about 5 to 15cm above the display area or top of the first container.
- the carrier can be easily moved in the vicinity of a first container in case a frozen product taken out of said first container should be garnished with a product (topping) provided in a second container on the carrier.
- the products to be kept frozen can thus be stored at a temperature of about -16°C to -18°C while the products on the carrier being placed above the display area and thus above the refrigeration means can be stored at a constant and ideal temperature of preferably between +3°C and 7°C, e.g., +4°C independent from their horizontal position. This is because the temperature above the refrigeration means or display area or first containers increases and thus passes from negative to positive temperatures at a particular level, and the carrier can be easily placed at a level having the desired temperature for refrigerating and not freezing the respective products in the second containers.
- the carrier is preferably removably arranged above the display area so that an easy installation is obtained. Further, the display cabinet can be selectively and easily used with and without the carrier.
- the display cabinet preferably comprises a plurality of side walls laterally delimiting the display area and preferably housing the refrigeration means, wherein two opposite side walls of the plurality of side walls extending along the horizontal moving direction of the carrier comprise a sliding rail means for slidably receiving the carrier.
- the sliding rail means preferably comprises a stepped or recessed portion in at least one of the opposite side walls and/or a top face of at least one of the opposite side walls and/or a separate rail means preferably removably attached to at least one of the side walls which extend horizontally along the opposite side walls, preferably along the whole display area.
- the carrier can be easily placed onto the display area (or its frame) without changing the design of a yet existing display cabinet or by only slightly changing the display cabinet by attaching a simple rail means. Therefore, the carrier can be used with any existing display cabinet without or without considerably changing the respective display cabinet.
- the frame of the carrier preferably comprises two opposite sliding portions for slidably supporting the carrier over the display area, which sliding portions preferably cooperates with the sliding rail means of the side walls.
- the carrier or frame comprises (preferably integrally formed) opposite sliding portions, the carrier can easily and securely rest above the display area and on respective sliding rails.
- the sliding portions are integrally formed with the carrier (or frame), secure and cost-saving sliding portions can be simply provided when producing the carrier.
- At least one of the sliding portions preferably has an L-shaped structure having a first leg extending from a side portion of the carrier upwards and a second leg extending sidewards from the upper end of the first leg and away from the display area. It is thus possible to provide the carrier with a preferably integrally formed sliding portion to securely support and guide the carrier laterally and from below.
- the frame of the carrier preferably has a substantially rectangular form, wherein the opening for receiving the at least one second container or the heat-conductive flat or recessed supporting portion for supporting the at least one second container preferably has a rectangular form as well.
- the carrier is preferably made of metal, more preferably a metal sheet, steel, aluminum, plastic, wood or the like, wherein the frame of the carrier is preferably integrally formed. Hence, the carrier can be easily produced.
- the carrier is provided with an opening of the frame which is designed such that two or more of the second containers can be received therein.
- this portion is designed such that two or more of the second containers can be supported thereon/thereby.
- a desired number of toppings or the like i.e. second containers
- a kit having a display cabinet according to the invention which further comprises at least one first container for frozen products like ice cream and a plurality of second containers for refrigerated products like (humid) toppings, wherein the second containers have a different depth so that the vertical distance between the bottom of the second containers to the refrigeration means or the top of the at least one first container depends on the depth of the second container when being provided in the opening of the frame of the carrier, wherein the deepest second container is designed to be closer to the refrigeration means than a flatter second container but still positioned above the first container when placed in the movable carrier.
- the kit provides for the products in the second containers to be refrigerated at a predetermined ideal temperature for optimizing the product storage.
- a carrier for being horizontally movably arranged in a display cabinet and above a display area for receiving at least one first container
- the carrier comprises a frame having an opening for receiving at least one second container or having a flat or recessed portion made of a heat-conductive material for supporting the at least one second container to be movable via the carrier, wherein the frame further comprises two opposite sliding portions for slidably supporting the carrier over said display area.
- At least one of the sliding portions preferably has an L-shaped structure having a first leg extending from a side portion of the carrier upwards and a second leg extending sidewards from the upper end of the first leg and away from the opening or heat-conductive supporting portion to support and guide the carrier laterally and from below.
- Said carrier allows for products being kept refrigerated to be placed in a display area further distanced from a refrigeration means than a product being kept frozen without changing the layout or design of a display cabinet.
