Description

  The present invention relates to a refrigerator provided with a door that can be opened and closed or pulled out in front of a storage room.

Since the door body of this type refrigerator involves a process of filling urethane foam by an on-site foaming method (see Patent Document 1), a specific color, for example, one color is coated.
JP-A-8-145546

  However, if a refrigerator with a specific color is purchased according to user preference, other colors cannot be enjoyed.

  Therefore, the present invention can be enjoyed according to the season or with a feeling of pattern change by sticking a sheet having a color different from the color attached to the front panel to the front panel of the door provided in the front of the storage room. An object is to provide a refrigerator that can be used.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, a first invention is a refrigerator including a door body that can be opened and closed or pulled out on a front surface of a storage room, and a sheet with a weak viscosity adhesive is attached to a front panel of the door body. It is characterized by that.

  Moreover, 2nd invention is a refrigerator provided with the door body which can be opened and closed or pulled out in the front of the store room, The sheet | seat with a magnet was affixed on the steel plate front panel of the said door body.

  Furthermore, a third invention is characterized in that, in the first or second invention, the sheet is provided with a color different from the color attached to the front panel of the door body.

  According to this invention, it can enjoy by sticking the sheet | seat from which a color differs on the front panel of a door body, or by changing according to a season and a pattern change feeling.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. First, in FIG. 1 which is a front view of a refrigerator-freezer, and in FIG. 2 which is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of FIG. 2. It is comprised by the synthetic resin inner box 3 and the foaming urethane heat insulating material 4 with which it filled with the in-situ foaming system between both boxes. The inside of the refrigerator-freezer main body 1 is partitioned by a partition wall 5 having a heat insulating action, a freezer compartment 6 is arranged at the top, and a refrigerator compartment 7 is arranged under the freezer compartment 6.

  The front opening of the freezer compartment 6 can be closed by a pivotable freezer compartment door 8 that can be opened and closed, and the front opening of the refrigerator compartment 7 can be closed by a pivotable refrigerator compartment door 9 that can be opened and closed. . The freezer compartment door 8 is a flat plate-shaped front panel (door outer plate) 8A made of a flat plate (especially the left and right ends are not gently curved), a synthetic resin door inner plate 8B having a gasket 8F, and both sides. In a space formed by combining a wall (not shown), upper and lower door caps 8C, left and right door caps 8D, front panel 8A and door inner plate 8B, both side walls, door cap 8C and door cap 8D And a urethane foam heat insulating material 8E filled by an in-situ foaming method. Similarly to the freezer compartment door 8, the refrigerator compartment door 9 has a flat plate-like (not gently curved) steel plate front panel (door outer plate) 9A and a synthetic resin door provided with a gasket 9F. Plate 9B, both side walls (not shown), upper and lower door caps 9C, left and right door caps 9D, front panel 9A, door inner plate 9B, both side walls, door cap 9C and door cap 9D It is comprised from the urethane foam heat insulating material 9E with which the space which can be combined was filled with the on-site foaming system.

  A plurality of shelves 10 can be arranged in the freezer compartment 6 at intervals, and an ice tray 12 and ice made by the ice tray 12 are stored in the lower portion, that is, on the upper surface of the partition wall 5. A storage box 11 is disposed.

  Supporting portions 16 project inward from both side walls of the inner box 3 forming the refrigerator compartment 7 at a predetermined interval, and a plurality of shelves 17 are arranged on the supporting portion 16 so as to be put in and out. A compressor room 19 is formed in the rear lower part of the refrigerator main body 1 to form a refrigeration cycle unit. An upper surface of the lower part of the refrigerator compartment 7 in front of the machine room 18 is provided. A vegetable storage container 20 made of a synthetic resin material to be opened is disposed so as to slide in and out of the bottom surface 7A forming the refrigerator compartment 7.

  In addition, a cool air circulation duct 22 partitioned by a duct wall 21 is provided at the rear of the freezer compartment 6, and a blower 23 and a cooler 24 constituting a refrigerating cycle unit are provided above and below the cool air circulation duct 22. It has been. And the air in the freezer compartment 6 which flowed in from the suction opening 25 opened in the said duct wall 21 is cooled by the cooler 24, and is circulated and supplied in the freezer compartment 6 via the blower outlet 26 by the air blower 23. The cold air in the freezer compartment 6 is also distributed and supplied to the refrigerator compartment 7 via the cold air circulation duct 27 provided in the partition wall 5 for cooling.

  The front panel 8A, 9A of the freezer compartment door 8 and the refrigerating compartment door 9 of the refrigerator-freezer configured as described above is usually painted in one color such as white. Therefore, when purchasing this refrigerator-freezer, the user chooses a favorite color, but sometimes he wants a different color depending on the season and with a sense of pattern change.

  Therefore, without newly purchasing a refrigerator with a different color, as shown in FIG. 3, the front panels 8A and 9A of the freezer compartment door 8 and the refrigerator compartment door 9 are attached to the front panels 8A and 9A, for example. The purchaser of the freezer refrigerator can enjoy it by sticking the sheet 30 on which the color different from the color is printed or by pasting it. In addition, for the manufacturer, the inventory due to the appearance color decreases. In this case, the seat 30 is of the same size as the front panels 8A and 9A. For example, the seat 30 is large enough to avoid the upper and lower door caps 8C and 9C and the left and right door caps 8D and 9D. Use the same thing. Thereby, by using the thing of the magnitude | size which avoided the part with an unevenness | corrugation, it does not peel easily during use and the appearance is also favorable.

  In this case, the sheet 30 is a sheet having a weakly viscous adhesive 31 attached to the back surface thereof. This is because the attachment with the weakly viscous adhesive 31 is possible. The same effect can be obtained with a sheet with a sheet-like magnet (a magnet is attached to the surface).

  In addition, the sheet | seat 30 stuck on front panel 8A, 9A of the freezer compartment door 8 or the refrigerator compartment door 9 is not restricted to a color, The thing by the combination of a pattern or a pattern and a color may be given, Furthermore, Is not limited to the front panels 8A and 9A, and sheets 30 may be attached to both sides and the back of other refrigerator-freezers, or sheets of different colors may be attached to the front panels 8A and 9A. . Further, in the present embodiment, the openable / closable freezer compartment door 8 and the refrigerator compartment door 9 have been described as examples.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, various alternatives, modifications, and variations can be made by those skilled in the art based on the above description, and the present invention is not limited to the various alternatives described above without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It includes modifications or variations.

It is a front view of a refrigerator-freezer. It is a vertical side view of the refrigerator-freezer shown in FIG. It is sectional drawing of the local part of a freezer compartment door.
