Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cooling appliance, in particular to a cooling appliance having a grain dispenser.
  • High relative humidity is a factor that needs to be considered when storing grain and legumes as it adversely affects their shelf life. Humidity increases the possibility of fungal or other bacterial growth on the grain and legumes causing possible health concerns. Apart from micro microbiological infections, it is observed that the average nutritional value loss is directly proportional to the high relative humidity.
  • regions having high relative humidity the users are storing their grain and legumes inside cooling appliances to prolong the shelf life. Since the cooling appliances lack necessary storage containers, the users are storing their grain and legumes inside the cooling appliances via jars, and other containers that are mostly hermetically sealed from the inner volume of the cooling appliance.
  • the said storage containers comprise outlets allowing the grain stored inside to pour outside.
  • a problem faced by the user during stopping the flow of the grain is that the grains, due to their rigid structure, got stuck in moving parts of the storage containers such as outlets or spouts. This causes a gap to be formed in between the moving parts causing unwanted flow of the grain.
  • JP5118698B2 A prior art publication in the technical field of the present invention may be referred to as JP5118698B2 among others, the document disclosing a cooling appliance having a container specialized for storing granular foodstuff such as grain and legumes.
  • KR101336894B1 A prior art publication in the technical field of the present invention may be referred to as KR101336894B1 among others, the document disclosing a cooling appliance having a container specialized for storing granular foodstuff such as grain and legumes.
  • Other grain dispensers have been disclosed in CN205860645U , CN106500445 and CH428133 .
  • An objective of the present invention is to provide a specialized grain dispensing unit inside the cooling appliance via which the grain, legumes and granular foodstuff are easily accessed meanwhile preventing jamming of said foodstuff to the outlet of the grain dispensing unit.
  • the method realized to achieve the aim of the present invention and disclosed in the first claim and the dependent claims comprises a cooling appliance having a body and a door pivotable attached onto the body.
  • the door and the body have an inner liner facing the interior volume of the cooling appliance in the closed position of the door.
  • a grain dispensing unit is detachably mounted onto the inner liner.
  • the grain dispensing unit comprises a container wherein the grain, legume or similar granular foodstuff are stored.
  • a dispenser is pivotable attached on to a lower portion of the container between a closed position and an open position. The dispenser is pressed by means of force exerted by a user and pivots from the closed position to the open position.
  • a chute is provided on the dispenser and is configured to allow the grain to flow under the influence of gravity in the open position of the dispenser via an opening.
  • a bracket is placed on a lower portion of the container. In an embodiment, the bracket is in close vicinity of the opening. In another embodiment, the bracket at least partly covers the opening.
  • the bracket is produced from an elastomeric material including but not limited to natural or synthetic rubbers, silicone, polyurethane.
  • the bracket is elastic and is configured to cave in partially if a grain particle is caught in-between the chute and the bracket as the chute and the dispenser moves from open position to the closed position.
  • the bracket being elastic, the flow of grain particles is interrupted in a smooth manner.
  • the container comprises a recess and the bracket comprises a protrusion.
  • the bracket is placed in close vicinity of the outlet by insertion of the said protrusions into the said recesses.
  • the dispenser comprises a biasing means placed in between the dispenser and the container.
  • the biasing means biases the dispenser towards the closed position.
  • the biasing means is a spring.
  • An advantageous effect provided with the cooling appliance of the present invention is that the grain or legumes are prevented from getting stuck in between the moving parts of the grain dispensing unit which in turn will cause malfunction in said moving parts.
  • cooling appliance of the present invention Another advantageous effect provided with the cooling appliance of the present invention is that the jamming of grain or legumes in between the chute and the bracket is prevented which in turn eliminates the possibility of continuation of the flow of the grain.
  • Another advantageous effect provided by means of this invention is that the jamming of grain or legumes in between the chute is prevented which may cause the jammed grains to fall inside the cooling appliance.
  • the present invention relates to a cooling appliance (1) comprising; a body (2), a door (3) pivotable attached to the body (2) between an open position and a closed position, wherein the body (2) and the door (3) have an inner liner (4), a grain dispensing unit (5) adapted to be detachably mounted onto the inner liner (4) comprising; a container (6) for storing the grain,
  • the cooling appliance (1) can comprise; a dispenser (7) pivotably attached on a lower portion of the container (6), wherein the dispenser (7) is pressed by means of force applied by a user to pivot between an open position allowing the grain to flow under the influence of gravity and a closed position inhibiting flow of the grain.
  • the cooling appliance further comprises a chute (8) provided in the dispenser (7) in communication with the container (6) to transmit the grain in the open position via an outlet on a lower portion of the container (6) and a bracket (9) partly closing the outlet onto which the chute (8) abuts in closed position.
  • the container (6) is used as a volume to store granular foodstuff such as grain and legumes.
  • the dispenser (7) is pivotably attached on a lower portion of the container (6).
  • the dispenser (7) pivots between the closed position and the open position and as the name suggests, during the open position, the grain and legumes are free to flow from the container (6) towards the chute (8) provided on the dispenser (7). Likewise, during the closed position, the grain and legumes are prevented to flow through the dispenser (7) via the chute (8).
  • the lower surface of the container (6) is in conical shape to facilitate the flow of the grain and legumes.
  • the lower most portion of the said conical structure is covered by the chute (8) in the closed position. As the dispenser (7) is pressed by means of force applied by a user, the chute (8) moves away from the lower most portion of the said conical structure thus forming the outlet for the grain to flow.
  • the structure of the container (6) and the chute (8) is formed such that the weight of the grain stored inside the container (6) is not sufficient enough to force the dispenser (7) to the open position.
  • the grain dispensing unit (5) is removably attached onto the inner liner (4). The user may easily remove the grain dispensing unit (5) from the inner liner (4).
  • the outlet is provided on a lower portion of the container (6).
  • the chute (8) closes the outlet in the closed position of the dispenser (7).
  • the bracket (9) is placed onto the outlet from below or from inside the container (6) so as to partly close the outlet or is placed in close vicinity of the outlet.
  • the chute (8) abuts against the bracket (9) in the closed position.
  • the cooling applicance (1) can comprise; a bracket (9) wherein the bracket (9) is elastic.
  • the bracket (9) is produced from an elastomeric material.
  • the elastomeric materials include but not limited to natural or synthetic rubbers, silicone, polyurethane.
  • the cooling appliance (1) can comprise; a container (6), wherein the container (6) comprises a recess (10) onto which the bracket (9) is seated via a protrusion (11) in the closed position.
  • the container (6) comprises a pair recesses (10) on both sides and adjacent to the outlet.
  • the bracket (9) is attached to the lower part of the container (6) via the protrusions (11).
  • the cooling appliance (1) can comprise; a biasing means (12) placed in between the dispenser (7) and the container (6) biasing the dispenser (7) towards the closed position.
  • the biasing means (12) biases the dispenser (7) towards the closed position.
  • the dispenser (7) is pressed by means of force applied by the user towards the open position. As the force applied by the user is removed, the biasing means (12) automatically restores the dispenser (7) towards the closed position. Therefore, ease of use is provided for the user.
  • the users are provided with a grain dispensing unit (5) having a bracket (9) preventing the spillage of the grains caused by the squeezing of the grain particles in between the container (6) and the chute (8).
