  • the present invention has the object, a cooling and / or freezer of the type mentioned in such a way that this causes a particularly appealing overall appearance.
  • the closure element and / or the body of the device has at least one wall, preferably at least one outer wall, at least one transparent element, preferably at least one transparent pane, and at least one print or other graphic element, the wall being provided with at least one cutout and being viewed by a viewer from the outside said transparent element at least partially behind the cutout of the wall and the printing or the other graphic element behind or in said transparent element is arranged.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the idea of achieving a depth effect or a 3D effect in that the printing or another graphic element is not glued or otherwise applied to the outside of the device but is set back from the outside wall, wherein between the printing and the outside of the device at least a portion of said transparent element, such as a glass or plastic disc, etc. is arranged.
  • the outer skin of the device has at least one cutout in which, behind the outer skin, i. behind or in the cutout, the transparent element extends and behind or in the transparent element, the printing or other graphic element.
  • the invention also includes the case that the transparent element is also located in the cutout and the printing or the other graphic element is also in the transparent element, such as a pane.
  • the printing or the other graphic element can thus be arranged, for example, behind a pane or embedded in a pane.
  • this does not only apply to disc-like transparent elements, but to any such elements.
  • the viewer of the device from the outside thus looks through the cutout in the wall, preferably in the outer skin of the device through the disc or other transparent element on said printing or the like.
  • the present invention is of course not limited to printing, but includes any graphic element, such as a logo, a pictorial representation, a lettering, a pattern, etc. This may be by printing or by other means, possibly also electrically or electronically be prepared. It is conceivable, for example, to generate the graphic element partially or completely by means of lighting.
  • the graphic element may, for example, be directly connected to the transparent element, for example glued to it or also spaced therefrom, or even indirectly, for example by means of a preferably circumferential profile or frame or the like, with the transparent element. It is also conceivable that there is no connection between the printing or the graphic element and the transparent element, by the former not being attached to the transparent element, but elsewhere, e.g. attached to the outer door.
  • the print or other graphic element is on the inside of the transparent element, i. arranged on the side facing the cooled interior of the transparent element.
  • the present invention is not limited to a cabinet-type refrigerator or freezer, but also includes refrigerated and / or freezer chests.
  • the closure element is not formed by a conventional door, but by a lid.
  • the configuration according to the present invention can be arranged in the body, for example in one or more side walls and / or in the closure element.
  • At least one illumination means is provided that illuminates and preferably backlit the transparent element and / or the printing or the other graphic element.
  • the illumination means may be, for example, one or more LEDs. However, the invention also encompasses any other illumination means.
  • these illumination means are arranged so that from the view of a viewer looking from the outside of the device, a backlighting of the printing or of the other graphic element takes place.
  • the one or more lighting means are arranged so that the light is coupled into the end face at least one transparent element. It is conceivable, for example, in the case of a disc to couple the light laterally or from above or from below or from several sides in the disc and thus also to achieve a special optical effect.
  • the illumination means themselves can be arranged in the closure element and / or on the body of the device.
  • the printing or the other graphic element is arranged on the side or in the region of the transparent element which faces away from said cutout of the wall. From the perspective of an observer looking from outside onto the device, the printing or the other graphic element is thus behind the transparent element or embedded in the transparent element. In any case, located between the viewer and the printing or the other graphic element, the transparent element or a portion of this.
  • the contour of the cutout corresponds to the wall, the contour of the printing or the other graphic element.
  • the cutout of the wall and also the shape of the printing or the other graphic element corresponds to the shape of a bottle. This is of course only an example that does not limit the invention.
  • the printing or the other graphic element is glued to the transparent element or that at least one profile, such as a frame-shaped element is provided on which the printing or other graphic element, such as a a graphic provided plate is attached.
  • the printing is produced by lenticular technology.
  • the transparent element can be one or more panes and / or an insulating glass package consisting of several panes.
  • the discs may be made of glass or plastic.
  • the distance between the printing or the other graphic element and said cutout is> 5 mm and preferably> 20 mm.
  • FIG. 1 is the reference numeral 10, the outer door, that is, the outer wall of a closure element of a refrigerator and / or freezer according to the invention shown.
  • This can for example consist of metal or plastic.
  • FIG. 1 shows, in the outer door 10 in the example shown here, a substantially rectangular or diamond-shaped cutout 12, ie in this area is a recess in the outer door 10.
  • This opening is also in the FIGS. 2 and 3 seen. From these figures it is further apparent that the outer door has a U-shaped profile or is formed by this, wherein a leg 15 of this U-shaped profile to the outside of the device and the other leg 14 of the U-shaped profile to the refrigerator or . Is turned to the seal 29 out. On the leg 14, the magnetic door seal 29 is for tight closure between the door and body 100th
  • the two legs 14, 16 are connected by a portion 18 which forms the outer end faces of the outer door 10.
  • the U-shaped profile or the outer door 10 surrounds an insulating glass package, which consists of two spaced-apart discs 22 and 24, between which, for example, vacuum can prevail in order to achieve the best possible thermal insulation.
  • an insulating glass package which consists of two spaced-apart discs 22 and 24, between which, for example, vacuum can prevail in order to achieve the best possible thermal insulation.
  • the two outer sides of the two disks 22, 24 facing away from one another are in their edge region respectively on the inner sides of the legs 14, 15 of the outer door or are received between these legs 14, 15.
  • the U-shaped profile surrounds the insulating glass package in full and thus represents a frame for this.
