Description

The present invention relates to a refrigeration device comprising a storage device that provides storage of products requiring refrigeration and their convenient search.

Various storage devices have been created to provide convenient storage of products that need to be refrigerated in a refrigerator, especially cans and bottles. These storage devices can be installed below or above shelves located inside the refrigeration device, as well as on the body of the refrigeration device or the door of the refrigeration device.

In German patent No. 3039962, in accordance with the prior art, a storage device is disclosed which is divided by a wall into two compartments, into which bottles are loaded through a loading opening located on the upper surface and removed from the distribution opening on the lower surface.

In another patent in accordance with the prior art, namely, in US patent No. 4368625, a design is disclosed that allows the passage of bottles located in the freezer of the refrigeration device to the area of the refrigeration device with a higher temperature than the freezer.

In the storage device disclosed in European Patent Application No. 0490693, the bottles are loaded from above and removed from below.

In dispensers disclosed in patents / patent applications mentioned above, it is possible to get a bottle only located at the dispensing opening located on the bottom surface. That is, you can not choose any other bottle from many bottles.

The aim of the present invention is to provide a refrigeration device containing a storage device that provides storage of products requiring refrigeration, especially bottles and cans, and to get those products that are needed from stored products.

A refrigeration device designed to achieve the purpose of the present invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:

figure 1 is a perspective view of a storage device;

figure 2 is a perspective view of a storage device with cans placed in it;

figure 3 is a perspective view of a storage device installed in the housing and with cans placed in it;

4 is a perspective view of a storage device mounted on a door.

The elements shown in the drawing are numbered one by one as follows:

1. Refrigeration unit

2. The main body

3. The door

4. Storage device

5. Case

6. Distribution hole

7. Loading hole

8. Lock

9. The partition

10. Groove

11. The protrusion

The refrigeration device (1) comprises a main body (2) in which products to be cooled are placed, a door (3) providing access from the outside to the inside of the main body (2) and a storage device (4), including: a body (5 ), which ensures the storage of products that need to be cooled, especially bottles and / or cans, and which facilitates the search for the particular can that is needed; a loading hole (7) located on the housing (5), which provides the loading of cans; and a dispensing hole (6) that provides a search for a can loaded by a user. The storage device (4) also contains one or more locks (8) made of a material that is so flexible as to enable one particular can to be removed from those loaded in the housing (5), so that the above locks ( 8) block the distribution hole (6) in whole or in part and prevent the cans from separating from each other, without stopping the distribution process or without obstructing the view of the loaded products.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the latch (8) contains one or more grooves (10) and protrusions (11) that bend only in the part located in front of one of the cans loaded in the case (5), which is actually required, thus, ensuring the removal of the cans from the housing (5), without removing other cans loaded into the housing (5) (Figs. 1 and 2).

The grooves (10) and protrusions (11) are preferably made in the shape of a finger, but they can have any other shape, for example the shape of a crest, tooth, or the like. In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the latch (8) can be cut and used in parts.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the storage device (4) is mounted vertically on the main body (2) or door (3) (FIGS. 3 and 4).

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, one or more baffles (9) are provided on a surface facing the distribution hole (6). They help to keep cans that have been loaded through the loading opening (7) at predetermined intervals and facilitate the process of removing the can with your finger or the user's hand.

The can is loaded through the loading opening (7) into the storage device (4), which is preferably mounted vertically inside the refrigeration device (1). After passing through the loading hole (7), the tin can freely falls as a result of gravity down through the storage device (4) and is in a place inside the storage device (4). The second tin can, which the user wants to place in the device (4) for storage, performs the same movement and is in place on top of the tin can installed earlier. Other cans are also placed in a similar manner, one on top of the other inside the storage device (4). If the user wants to remove one of the cans loaded into the storage device (4), the can can be easily taken and pulled out of the storage device (4). During this pulling process, the protrusions (11) contained in the latch (8), which bend just in front of the tin can that the user wants to take, facilitate the exit of the tin can from the storage device (4) through the distribution hole (6). Tin cans on top take the place of a tin can, extracted outward.

In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the distribution hole (6) can also be used as a loading hole (7).

In another embodiment of the present invention, the storage device (4) can be installed obliquely or horizontally with the same success as it can be installed vertically in the main body (2) or door (3). The planes used in the first case may be the same as or different from the planes used in the second case.

The storage device (4) can be fixed on the inside of the refrigeration device (1), mainly on the main body (2) or the door (3), using screws and similar fasteners, or it can be fixed with glue.

Using the storage device (4) located inside the present invention, the refrigeration device, in particular, cans can be stored and the desired canned can be removed from the storage device (4).

Claims (5)

1. A refrigeration device (1) comprising a main body (2) for placing refrigerated products and a door (3) providing external access to the interior of the main body (2), characterized in that the device (4) for storing refrigerated products, in particular bottles and / or cans, and extracting the desired can, contains a housing (5), a distribution hole (6) for removing the can loaded by the user, one or more locks (8) made of a material so flexible as to provide attracting the particular required can from cans loaded into the case (5), due to which the clamps (8) completely or partially close the distribution hole (6) and prevent the cans from separating from each other without interrupting the can extraction process or without obstructing the view of the loaded products. 2. The refrigeration device (1) according to claim 1, characterized in that the latch (8) has one or more grooves (10) and protrusions (11), bending only in the part located in front of one of the cans loaded in the case ( 5), which is actually required, thus allowing the can to be removed from the housing (5) without removing the remaining cans. 3. The refrigeration device (1) according to claim 1, characterized in that the storage device (4) comprises a loading opening (7), which is located on the housing (5) and which provides the loading of cans, and one or more partitions (9) located on the surface facing the distribution hole (6), facilitating the placement of cans loaded through the loading hole (7) at predetermined intervals and facilitating the capture of the can with the finger or the user's hand. 4. The refrigeration device (1) according to claim 2, characterized in that the storage device (4) comprises a loading hole (7) located on the housing (5) and providing loading of cans, and one or more partitions (9), located on the surface facing the distribution hole (6), facilitating the placement of cans loaded through the loading hole (7) at predetermined intervals and facilitating the capture of the can with the finger or the user's hand. 5.
