Description

Caj6n con multiples funciones para congeladores verticales La presente invenci6n se refiere a un caj6n para congeladores verticales. En el presente contexto, los congeladores verticales incluyen tambien refrigeradores que tiene un compartimiento congelador en el cual estan presentes uno o mas cajones. Los cajones de congelador contienen productos congelados (o aquellos que van a ser congelados) generalmente con una distribuci6n aleatoria, condicionada no s6lo por las dimensiones de productos sino tambien por su forma, que puede ser irregular (por ejemplo en el caso de piezas de carne). Frecuentemente, los productos utilizados son tambien colocados en estos cajones, por ejemplo pequenos recipientes (cajas) de hierbas aromaticas, tales como albahaca, perejil o cebolla en forma congelada. Otros productos frecuentemente utilizados son de pequeno tamano, tales como helados, polos o similares tambien son colocados sueltos en estos cajones, a los que se puede anadir tambien recipientes obturados que contienen mezclas eutecticas (utilizadas como acumuladores de frio) o recipientes flexibles para formar esferas o piezas de hielo a partir del agua colocada en su interior. Esta distribuci6n aleatoria o algo desordenada de los productos frecuentemente utilizados, anteriormente enumerados significa que varios cajones pueden tener que ser extraidos parcialmente, para encontrarlos, con considerable molestia e incomodidad para el usuario. El documento JP 2002107033A y el documento JP 2002130993 A exponen un caj6n para congeladores verticales que presentan en su lado delantero un recipiente separado que es accesible s6lo desde el interior del caj6n. Un objeto de la presente invenci6n es proporcionar un caj6n para congeladores verticales en los que los productos frecuentemente utilizados, enumerados anteriormente, son colocados de una forma ordenada lo cual facilita su retirada sin tener que extraer ni siquiera parcialmente, el caj6n. Este y otros objetos que resultaran evidentes de la siguiente descripci6n, proporcionada a modo de ejemplo con referencia a los dibujos adjuntos, en los que: La Fig. 1 es una vista en perspectiva despiezada de una versi6n del caj6n de la invenci6n; La Fig. 2 es una vista en perspectiva de una versi6n diferente del caj6n, cuya parte delantera puede contener polos de hielo ya formados y puede ser utilizada para formar polos de hielo. La Fig. 3 es una vista en perspectiva de una variante del caj6n de acuerdo con la invenci6n en la cual hay provistos asientos delanteros para alojar recipiente para formar cubitos o esferas de hielo. Con referencia a la Figura 1, el caj6n de la invenci6n esta indicado globalmente con el numero 1. Es de termopolimero convencional y presenta una base, tres paredes laterales y una pared delantera 2. La pared delantera verticalmente presenta una formaci6n convencional de secci6n transversal de gancho 3 para agarrar por el usuario para extraer el caj6n. La pared delantera presenta tambien un asa o lengOeta 4 en cada uno de sus lados verticales, y una ventana longitudinal o abertura 5 con, en cada lado vertical, un ojete 6 que esta vuelto hacia el interior del caj6n. Los pasadores de bisagra 7, que sobresalen lateralmente el recipiente delantero, estan indicados en general con el numero 8 y tambien son de termopolimero, son instados en estos ojetes utilizando la elasticidad del termopolimero. El recipiente delantero 8 presenta una pared delantera 9 dispuesta para encajar con la pared delantera 2 del caj6n, cuando esta en su posici6n de fin de recorrido. El recipiente 8 define, en la parte trasera de su pared delantera 9, un canal de contenci6n 10 con extremos cerrados que esta adecuadamente dimensionado para recibir, en una disposici6n ordenada facilmente accesible, por ejemplo pequenas cajas (indicadas con 11) que contienen las hiervas aromaticas mas frecuentemente utilizadas, acumuladores de frio o bolsas de formaci6n de hielo. Para retirar estas cajas o similares el recipiente, el recipiente 8 simplemente tiene que ser girado hacia fuera (vease las flechas) alrededor de la bisagra formada por los pasadores 7 y los ojetes 6. Drawer with multiple functions for vertical freezers The present invention relates to a drawer for vertical freezers. In the present context, vertical freezers also include refrigerators that have a freezer compartment in which one or more drawers are present. Freezer drawers contain frozen products (or those that are going to be frozen) generally with a random distribution, conditioned not only by the dimensions of products but also by their shape, which can be irregular (for example in the case of pieces of meat ). Frequently, the products used are also placed in these drawers, for example small containers (boxes) of aromatic herbs, such as basil, parsley or onion in frozen form. Other frequently used products are small in size, such as ice cream, popsicles or the like are also placed loose in these drawers, to which can also be added sealed containers containing eutectic mixtures (used as cold accumulators) or flexible containers to form spheres or pieces of ice from the water placed inside. This random or somewhat disorderly distribution of the frequently used products, listed above, means that several drawers may have to be partially removed, to find them, with considerable discomfort and inconvenience to the user. JP 2002107033A and JP 2002130993 A disclose a drawer for vertical freezers that have a separate container on their front side that is accessible only from inside the drawer. An object of the present invention is to provide a drawer for vertical freezers in which the frequently used products, listed above, are placed in an orderly manner which facilitates their removal without even having to partially remove the drawer. This and other objects that will be apparent from the following description, provided by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Fig. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a version of the drawer of the invention; Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a different version of the drawer, whose front part may contain already formed ice poles and can be used to form ice poles. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a variant of the drawer according to the invention in which front seats are provided to accommodate a container for forming ice cubes or spheres. With reference to Figure 1, the drawer of the invention is indicated globally with the number 1. It is of conventional thermopolymer and has a base, three side walls and a front wall 2. The front wall vertically has a conventional cross-sectional formation of hook 3 for grabbing by the user to remove the drawer. The front wall also has a handle or tongue 4 on each of its vertical sides, and a longitudinal window or opening 5 with, on each vertical side, an eyelet 6 that is turned towards the inside of the drawer. The hinge pins 7, which laterally protrude the front container, are generally indicated with the number 8 and are also made of thermopolymer, are installed in these eyelets using the elasticity of the thermopolymer. The front container 8 has a front wall 9 arranged to fit the front wall 2 of the drawer, when it is in its end-of-travel position. The container 8 defines, at the rear of its front wall 9, a containment channel 10 with closed ends that is suitably sized to receive, in an orderly arrangement easily accessible, for example small boxes (indicated with 11) containing the herbs most frequently used aromatics, cold accumulators or ice formation bags. To remove these boxes or the like from the container, the container 8 simply has to be turned outwards (see the arrows) around the hinge formed by the pins 7 and the eyelets 6.

El recipiente delantero puede tener forma diferente de la descrita, por ejemplo, en la Fig. 2, en la que el recipiente delantero esta indicado con 8A. El recipiente delantero 8A presenta una serie de compartimentos alineados separados sustancialmente adyacentes 12 conformados para recibir polos de hielo 12 ya formados o The front container may have a different shape from that described, for example, in Fig. 2, in which the front container is indicated with 8A. The front container 8A has a series of substantially aligned separate aligned compartments 12 formed to receive ice poles 12 already formed or

5 alternativamente para producir polos de hielo que empiezan a partir de soluciones acuosas convencionales adecuadas, vertidas en estos compartimentos. �urante su rotaci6n, el recipiente delantero 8A presenta pasadores de bisagra laterales 7A que se acoplan con los ojetes, no mostrados, pero formados por ejemplo por orificios presentes en las lengOetas 4 ya descritos con relaci6n a la Figura 1. El recipiente delantero 8A tambien puede estar sin los pasadores de bisagra laterales, en cuyo caso, tiene forma tal que es facilmente insertado en la abertura 5. 5 alternatively to produce ice poles that start from suitable conventional aqueous solutions, poured into these compartments. During its rotation, the front container 8A has side hinge pins 7A that engage the eyelets, not shown, but formed for example by holes present in the tabs 4 already described in relation to Figure 1. The front container 8A also it can be without the side hinge pins, in which case, it is shaped so that it is easily inserted into the opening 5.

10 En la variante mostrada en la Figura 3, el recipiente delantero consta de dos formadores de hielo 16, de polimero flexible conformado para ser insertado verticalmente en, y retenido en, asientos delanteros 18 del caj6n 1. 10 In the variant shown in Figure 3, the front container consists of two ice formers 16, of flexible polymer formed to be inserted vertically in, and retained in, front seats 18 of the drawer 1.
