The casing (20) is fixed to the door (3) so as to remain between the inner lining (4) and the outer lining (5). The opening (6) on the outer lining (5) provides access into the casing (20). Thus, the display (7) is passed through the opening (6) and attached to the casing (20). The electrical connection of the display (7) is preferably provided by means of at least one cable (11) passed between the inner lining (4) and the outer lining (5).
- The refrigerator (1) of the present invention comprises a latch (15) which is provided on the upper cover (10) or the lower cover (9) and which is suitable to be moved by rotating; a plurality of claws (8) which are provided on the display (7); a plurality of housings (24) which are provided on the casing (20) and which receive the claws (8); a frame (30) which is provided on the casing (20) and which has a plurality of holding walls (33) and a plurality of cut-outs (31) remaining between the holding walls (33); and a motion transmitter (19) which transfers the movement of the latch (15) to the frame (30) and which ensures that the frame (30) is moved between a fixing position where each housing (24) is aligned with a holding wall (33) and a free position where each housing (24) is aligned with a cut-out (31). The latch (15) is preferably provided on the upper cover (10) for easy use. The flexible claws (8) provided on the display (7) are fitted into the housings (24) provided in the casing (20). The frame (30) provided on the casing (20) moves by means of a motion transmitter (19) when the latch (15) is moved. In the fixing position, the claws (8) bear against the holding walls (33) provided on the frame (30) such that the display (7) is fixed on the casing (20). When the latch (15) is rotated, the frame (30) moves and the cut-outs (31) align with the housings (24). In this case, the claws (8) provided in the housing (24) pass through the cut-out (31) and the display (7) can be easily removed from the casing (20). The motion transmitter (19) provided here is preferably a rope or wire.
- In another embodiment of the present invention, on the casing (20), there is at least one lifter spring (28) which is compressed between the display (7) and the casing (20) when the frame (30) is in the fixing position and which pushes the display (7) outward when the frame (30) is shifted to the free position. When the display (7) is fixed on the casing (20), the display (7) compresses the lifter spring (28) by applying pressure on the lifter spring (28). When the frame (30) is brought from the fixing position to the free position, the display (7) is strongly pushed by the lifter spring (28) in the compressed position. Thus, the display (7) is detached from the casing (20) by itself and provides convenience to the users. The lifter spring (28) is preferably attached to a first bearing (26) provided on the base (21) of the casing (20), thus ensuring its safe operation.
- In another embodiment of the present invention, the casing (20) has a base (21) and at least one wall (22) surrounding the base (21), and on the wall (22) there is at least one abutment (23) whereon the frame (30) is seated. The abutment (23) ensures that the frame (30) is seated securely in the casing (20). The abutment (23) positioned at a higher level than the base (21) also facilitates the connection of the frame (30) to the casing (20).
- In another embodiment of the present invention, on the wall (22), there is at least one protrusion (25) which bears against the frame (30) so as to guide the movement of the frame (30) between the fixing position and the free position. Thus, the frame (30) can safely move between the fixing position and the free position without leaving the casing (20).
- In another embodiment of the present invention, the casing (20) comprises at least one return spring (29) which is attached to the frame (30) at one end and to the casing (20) at the other end and which enables the frame (30) to be pulled back to the fixing position from the free position. The return spring (29) is preferably fixed on one side of the frame (30) or on a support (32) component provided on the frame (30). When the latch (15) is pressed, the frame (30) shifts to the free position, and the return spring (29) becomes stretched while moving with the frame (30). When the latch (15) is released, the return spring (29) brings the frame (30) back to the fixing position.
- In another embodiment of the present invention, on the upper cover (10) or the lower cover (9), there is at least one recess-shaped housing (34) wherein the latch (15) is fitted. The housing (34) is in the form of an almost open box. The housing (34) has a depth which prevents the latch (15) from being seen when viewed from the outside. Thus, the latch (15) can be hidden and does not create a visual disturbance for the users.
