Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cooling device wherein the opening direction of the door can be changed.
  • the cooling device doors are generally opened towards one direction and the opening direction cannot be changed afterwards.
  • the cooling device door can be positioned adjacent to the wall and this causes the door not to be opened completely and/or to hit the wall.
  • cooling devices with changeable door opening directions are developed.
  • the position of the handle on the door is also changed. Therefore, structures shaped as openings are disposed on both sides of the cooling device doors whereto the handle can be mounted. Plugs are disposed in the openings whereto the handle is not mounted so that the exterior appearance of the cooling device is not distorted. These plugs can fall and get lost during transportation and/or use of the cooling device and cause the esthetic appearance of the cooling device to be distorted. Furthermore, an additional workman is employed for mounting the plug and thus labor costs increase.
  • US3766598 discloses a handle assembly including an infrangible insert that performs the functions of isolating a hand pull structure from excessive pull forces and providing support for a decorative structure.
  • US3430386 discloses a cabinet having reversibly mountable doors, wherein a door mounting arrangement includes upper and lower pivot means including removable upper and lower pivot pins mountable on the cabinet.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a cooling device wherein the opening direction of the door can be changed and the esthetic appearance is improved.
  • the cooling device realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention is defined in the appended claims.
  • the cooling device according to the invention necessarily comprises all the features of claim 1. Any statement, in the following description, suggesting that a feature mentioned in claim 1 is optional, should be ignored.
  • the cooling device comprises at least one opening arranged on the door, through which the end of the handle is inserted while the handle is being mounted on the door, at least one carrier disposed on the inner surface of the door so as to be aligned with the opening and which bears the ends of the handle and at least one support member having a cover that closes the opening.
  • the support member is disposed between the carrier and the door.
  • the cover extends outwards from the surface of the support member facing the door so as to fill the interior of the opening.
  • the cover is placed into the opening snap-fittingly.
  • the cover and the door are coplanar.
  • the cover and the door look like a single surface and esthetic unity is provided.
  • the cover is mounted on the support member so as to split open when pressed on to uncover the front of the opening.
  • the junction line of the door and the support member is in intermittent form.
  • the wall thickness of the cover is less than that of the support member and when force is exerted thereon it separates from the support member easily.
  • the support member comprises at least two detent means.
  • the detent means are situated at the portions near the sides of the support member.
  • the carrier is seated on the support member so as to remain between the detent means and is mounted to the door together with the support member.
  • the detent means are preferably positioned so as to clasp the carrier from the top and bottom.
  • the openings are located at the lateral sides of the door.
  • the handle provides convenience of utilization by extending from the lateral sides of the door towards the front side.
  • each lateral side of the door there are two openings on each lateral side of the door and one carrier behind each opening with a total of four carriers.
  • One support member is disposed between each opening and carrier for at least one of the lateral sides. A sufficient distance is left between the openings on the same side for aligning with the two ends of the handle.
  • the esthetic appearance of the cooling device is improved by closing the openings with the cover on the side where the handle is not mounted.
  • the cover is prevented from being dislodged with an external intervention since it is integrated with the support member and located on the inner side of the door. Furthermore, during production, mounting the plug at the end of the door assembly is not required and thus labor costs decrease.
  • the cooling device (1) comprises at least one cabinet (2) wherein foodstuffs to be cooled are placed, at least one door (3) providing access into the cabinet (2), at least one handle (4) providing the door (3) to be opened/closed, at least one opening (5) arranged on the door (3), enabling one end of the handle (4) to be inserted therethrough for mounting the handle (4) to the door (3), at least one carrier (6) disposed on the inner surface of the door (3), at the level of the opening (5) and providing the handle (4) to be mounted to the door (3) ( Figure 1 , Figure 2 ).
  • the handle (4) When the handle (4) is to be mounted to the door (3), its ends are passed through the openings (5) and placed inside the carrier (6). Deformation on the door (3) is prevented due to weight of the handle (4) by means of the carriers (6). In the course of time, the position of the handle (4) on the door (3) can be changed as per the request of the user by dislodging the ends of the handle (4) from the carriers (6) whereto they are mounted, and mounting them to the carriers (6) at the desired position.
  • the cooling device (1) furthermore comprises a support member (8) that is disposed between the carrier (6) and the door (3), having a cover (7) that almost entirely closes the opening (5).
  • a support member (8) that is disposed between the carrier (6) and the door (3), having a cover (7) that almost entirely closes the opening (5).
  • the cover (7) is placed snap-fittingly into the opening (5).
  • the carrier (6) and the support member (8) are placed before injecting insulation material into the door (3).
  • the insulation material filled into the door (3) is prevented from leaking outside by means of the cover (7) on the support member (8) being snap-fitted into the opening (5).
  • the cover (7) is coplanar with the door (3).
  • visual unity is provided on the door (3) and the user perception of quality is increased.
  • the user is prevented from getting caught to the cover (7) and break it during utilization ( Figure 4 ).
  • the cover (7) is disposed on the support member (8) and is broken when pressed on so as to uncover the front of the opening (5) while the handle (4) is being mounted to the door (3).
  • the ring where the cover (7) joins with the support member (8) is of grooved form.
  • the cover (7) remains integrated with the support member (8) when a force is not exerted thereon and is dislodged from the support member (8) when pushed into the door (3) thereby allowing the handle (4) to be mounted to the door (3).
  • the support member (8) comprises at least two detent means (9) that provide the carrier (6) to be borne by holding it from the sides.
  • the support member (8) projects from the sides of the carrier (6) and grasps the carrier (6) by means of the detent means (9).
  • the support member (8) and the carrier (6) can be mounted on the surface of the door (3) like a single piece and ease of assembly is provided ( Figure 6, Figure 7 , Figure 8, Figure 9, Figure 10 ).
  • the openings (5) are located at the lateral sides of the door (3).
  • the handle (4) extends from the lateral side of the door (3) towards the front side.
  • the unused openings (5) remain on the less visible lateral side of the door (3) and the external appearance is improved ( Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 ).
  • the cooling device (1) comprises two openings (5) situated on each of two lateral sides of the door (3), four carriers (6) disposed behind each opening (5) and at least two support members (8) disposed between the openings (5) and carriers (6) on at least one side.
  • the handle (4) has two ends, one at the bottom, the other at the top and is mounted to the carriers (6) by passing through the openings (5) on one of the lateral sides.
  • the position of the handle (4) on the door (3) is changed and the esthetic appearance of the cooling device (1) is improved by closing the unused openings (5) with the cover (7).
  • the cover (7) is prevented from falling during transportation and/or utilization of the cooling device (1) since it is integrated with the support member (8) on the inner surface of the door (3). Furthermore, since the production process becomes easier to perform, labor costs decrease as well.
