Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cabinet with a chest body with at least one accessible from above the refrigerator and a cover that covers the top of the chest body.
  • a freezer may in the present case be a refrigerator for refrigerating foods with a refrigeration temperature of above 0 ° C. or else a so-called freezer for refrigerating foods with a temperature below 0 ° C.
  • the freezer is a commercial freezer, which can often have a length of several meters to over 10 m.
  • the invention relates in the present case to a so-called island freezer, which is accessible from two opposite access sides. Such freezers often have a transverse extension from one access side to the other from 1 to 3 meters.
  • the chest body is covered with a cover having transparent sliding cover.
  • a cover having transparent sliding cover.
  • the cover has transparent sliding cover, which are mounted displaceably in two mutually offset in height tracks, wherein the sliding cover are each movable in parallel to the access pages. Although two or possibly even more sliding cover of a longitudinal side can be pushed over each other, but the cooling space below the superimposed sliding cover from the top is inaccessible.
  • a freezer with a cover which has a plurality of multi-track rail profiles, which span across the refrigerator in the transverse direction, ie transverse to the two access pages.
  • Two mutually adjacent rail profiles are each part of a 3-sliding cover arrangement, wherein the middle disc is fixedly secured to the rail profile, and the two edge-side sliding cover can be pushed toward the center below the arranged in the top level middle disc. In this way can be accessed at any time from both access pages to the refrigerator in the freezer. Since the middle disc is stationary, access to the chest body from above is not possible in the middle between the two access sides.
  • EP 2 347 680 A1 is a freezer with a cover with up to five sliding lids known.
  • the object of the invention is in contrast to provide a freezer with a cheap cover, which has an improved stability.
  • the refrigerator according to the invention comprises a chest body with at least one cooling chamber accessible from above and a cover which covers the top of the chest body.
  • the cover or the chest body has two opposite access sides, from which can be accessed from the top of the refrigerator with the cover open each.
  • the cover has at least one 3-sliding cover arrangement, which is formed in each case by two mutually parallel three-track rail profiles and three transparent sliding covers, which are mounted displaceably offset in height in the three tracks.
  • the middle sliding cover is designed to be displaceable transversely to the access sides.
  • the middle sliding lid is not arranged above the two rail profile tracks of the two edge sliding cover, but is guided in each case in the lower track of the rail profile.
  • the middle sliding cover and at least one edge sliding cover can be pushed over one another, that is brought to coincidence, not only in the middle closed position of the middle sliding cover, but also outside the closed position of the central sliding lid. Since the central sliding lid is also displaceable, the central region of the chest body is also accessible from above when the central sliding lid is displaced from its middle closed position.
  • the middle sliding cover is not in the upper or middle, but is guided in the lower rail profile track. Due to this position of the center sliding cover, the two abutting edges of the sliding cover, ie the parallel to the access sides longitudinal sides of the middle-Schilebedeckels, covered in the closed position of all sliding cover by the two edge sliding cover. If, for example, a shopping bag is parked on an edge sliding cover and this edge sliding cover is pushed towards its center into its open position, the shopping bag does not collide with the center sliding cover since the edge sliding cover is arranged above the central sliding cover.
  • the arrangement of the middle sliding cover in the lower rail profile track is largely ensuring that the center sliding cover always remains in its middle closed position and is not inadvertently displaced from its closed mid-closing position by carelessness or misoperation. So it is increased operating safety.
  • the chest body has two cooling spaces separated by a partition wall parallel to the access sides, the partition being located approximately in the chest center.
  • the cover has a support base which is supported on the partition wall.
  • the support base preferably supports one or more rail profiles in the rail profile center. Chest body with two longitudinally extending cooling chambers have a large transverse extent, so that the three sliding covers each have a large transverse extent. As a result, the total weight of the three sliding lid, which usually consist essentially of one or even two glass panes, is correspondingly high.
  • a rail profile in particular a double rail profile of a cover with at least two 3-sliding cover arrangements, in the middle of the chest vertically through the support base on the chest body partition supported.
  • the rail profiles and the sliding cover are preferably curved convexly upwards.
  • the cover may have a plurality of juxtaposed 3-slide cover assemblies
  • the middle sliding lid on its underside on a raised handle.
  • a handle is to be understood, which protrudes from the underside surface of the transparent sliding lid disc down.
  • the center sliding lid can be easily grasped and moved via the bottom handle. Since the handle is arranged on the bottom, the height offset or distance of the middle sliding cover to the two overlying Sliding covers or the height-wise track spacing are kept low. As a result, in turn, the gap dimensions between the three sliding lid of a 3-sliding lid arrangement can be kept very small.
  • the two edge sliding lid of a 3-sliding lid arrangement on the sliding lid top each have a raised handle. Since the center sliding cover is arranged in the lowest level of the three rail profile levels, both edge sliding cover can be moved despite their grip on the longitudinal side facing the middle sliding cover out. For example, an edge sliding cover can be pushed into its central opening position above the central sliding cover, whereupon the middle sliding cover is gripped and
  • the middle region of the chest body can be opened from above in a simple manner, so that it is then accessible from above.
  • the three rail profile tracks are arranged in cross-section like a staircase to each other. It follows that the underlying central sliding cover has a smaller extent in the longitudinal direction, ie parallel to the access sides, as the mounted in the adjacent overlying track edge sliding cover.
  • the guided in the upper track sliding cover in turn has a greater extent in the longitudinal direction than the guided in the middle track edge sliding cover.
  • the lower rail profile track extends over the entire transverse extent of the rail profile, wherein the lower rail profile track no fixed stoppers are assigned.
  • the middle sliding cover can thus be moved over the entire transverse extension of the rail profile with closed edge sliding lids.
  • a goods information carrier is preferably fixed on the partition wall, which extends parallel to the two access sides and to which goods information can be attached.
  • the goods information may be in the form of printed panels, but may also be designed as electronic displays.
  • the goods information can be arranged in this way in the refrigerated space below the sliding covers, so they can be mounted in very close proximity to the goods in question. As a result, the goods information is placed in a better and closer spatial reference to the goods to which it refers. Nevertheless, it is ensured by the sliding center sliding cover that the goods information carrier or the Goods information is relatively easily accessible to exchange or change them.
  • the support base on the goods information carrier or both are united in a structural unit, This is realized with a device two useful functions, namely stability and improved product information.
  • a commercial freezer 10 is shown, which is a freezer in the present case.
  • the freezer 10 is elongated, so that its longitudinal extent is a multiple of the transverse extent.
  • the freezer 10 is a so-called island freezer, so that from two opposite access sides 12,13 can be accessed from the inside of the chest.
  • the freezer 10 consists on the one hand of a chest body 20 with side walls and on the other hand of a modular cover 30, which is applied to the top of the chest body 20 and secured thereto.
  • the cover 30 may be mounted as original equipment on the chest body 20, but may also have been subsequently applied as a retrofit.
  • the chest body 20 has two separate and extending in the longitudinal direction of cooling chambers 22,23, each having their own cooling.
  • the two cooling chambers 22,23 are separated by a parallel to the two access sides 12,13 and vertical partition wall 24, which has approximately the same height as the side walls of the chest body 20th
  • the cover 30 has a plurality of 3-sliding cover assemblies 11, each spanning the two cooling chambers 22,23 in the transverse direction.
  • a 3-sliding cover arrangement is essentially formed in each case by a pair of three-track rail profiles 32,32 'and three sliding covers 43,44,45, which are slidably mounted and guided in the three tracks 33,34,35 of the rail profiles 32,32' ,
  • the two rail profiles 32,32 'of a pair are mirror-symmetrical to each other, parallel to each other and facing each other.
  • Each rail profile 32,32 ' has a staircase-like structure, wherein the three steps a lower step Track 33, a middle track 34 and an upper track 35 form, as in FIG. 3 shown.
  • a double rail profile 31 is provided which has a rail profile 32, 32 'on each side.
  • Each sliding cover 43, 44, 45 is essentially formed by a correspondingly curved transparent glass pane.
  • the two edge-Schleubeckel 44,45 have in the vicinity of the access pages 12,13 on the top of the relevant sliding cover or the respective glass each have a raised handle 48,48 'on which the edge sliding cover 44,45 in a simple manner can be taken and moved manually in the transverse direction.
  • the middle Schleubeckel 43 has no raised structure on the upper side.
  • the cover 30 has a support base 54 through which a rail section 32,32 'and a double rail section 31 is supported on the top of the refrigerator compartment wall 24.
  • a goods information carrier 52 is mounted on the partition 24, which extends parallel to the two access sides 12, 13 and is attached to the goods information 52.
