Description

The present invention relates to a refrigerator, preferably a freezer, which includes lids for flexible use by a user to facilitate access to compartments.

Refrigerators, preferably freezers, usually have an inner case that has compartments. The compartments are in the form of drawers or shelves and are closed by hinged-type lids, which preferably open in the direction from the bottom up or vice versa. When larger items are required to be placed in the device, one or more shelves can be removed, however, the covers in front of the shelves prevent easy access to compartments with increased volume. In devices having drawer lids that open from top to bottom, the user needs to open the drawer lid in order to take an object from the upper shelves, which creates difficulties in use and the possibility of damaging the drawer lid.

An object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerator that includes lids for their flexible use for access to compartments.

This goal is achieved due to the fact that the refrigerator for placing food and drinks, which has a usable volume with two adjacent compartments, each of which has a hinged type lid that opens in a direction from top to bottom or bottom to top, respectively, according to the invention, the useful volume has one or more than shelves and / or drawers carrying placed objects, the first compartment of the two compartments being closed by a lid that opens in the direction from top to bottom and closes in the direction from below The top rotates around a fixed horizontal axis at the bottom of the lid, and the second compartment closes with a cover that opens in the direction from bottom to top and closes in the direction from top to bottom, turning around the fixed horizontal axis at the top of the cover.

Preferably, the usable volume of the refrigerator comprises an inlet formed by combining the compartments by removing a shelf between two adjacent compartments, the upper part of the inlet being closed with a lid opening in the upward downward direction and closing in the upwardly rotating direction, turning around the horizontal axis, and the lower part of the inlet being closed with a lid opening in the direction from bottom to top and closing in the direction from top to bottom, turning around a horizontal axis.

The proposed refrigerator is designed to achieve the objectives of the present invention and is shown in the accompanying drawings, in which:

figure 1 is a schematic view of a refrigerator;

figure 2 is a schematic view of a refrigerator in which a shelf is removed and a large volume is obtained for use;

figure 3 is a perspective view of the cover, which opens in a direction from the bottom up;

A refrigerator, preferably a freezer, comprises a door (5) that is used to access the device, an outer case (2), an inner case (3), and more than one compartment (4) into which food and / or drinks are placed.

The compartments (4) in which food or drinks are placed contain one or more hinged-type lids (6) that open upward or downward, and one or more shelves (7) or drawers carrying placed objects.

The cover (6) contains a handle (8), which provides opening and closing by hand.

In the refrigerator (1) which is the subject of the invention, the net volume (9) is obtained by removing the shelf (7) between two adjacent compartments (4) and the connection of the compartments (4).

The useful volume (9) contains the inlet (10), closed by a lid (6).

To facilitate access to the usable volume (9) and to place objects, the lower part of the entrance (10) is closed by a lid (6), which opens from top to bottom and closes from bottom to top at an angle of 90 degrees around a fixed horizontal axis (cl) in the lower part the entrance, and the upper part of the entrance (10) is closed by a cover (6), which opens in the direction from the bottom up and closes in the direction from top to bottom at an angle of 90 degrees around a fixed horizontal axis (c2) in the upper part of the entrance (10).

When the user places the item above the compartment (4), he / she opens the lid (6), covering the upper part of the useful volume (9), containing two compartments (4), upward, and the lid (6), covering the lower part of the useful volume (9), in the downward direction, and easily places the item by removing the shelf (7) between the two compartments (4).

At the request of the user, two compartments (4) can be used separately by placing the shelf (7) in the usable volume (9).

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the two compartments (4) of the upper part of the refrigerator (1) are combined, and a useful volume (9) is obtained. Therefore, the easy placement in the refrigerators (1) of objects having a particularly high height is ensured for users by opening the lid (6) that covers the upper part of the useful volume (9), in the direction from the bottom up.

The opening and closing positions of the covers (6) covering the useful volume (9) facilitate their use for the user.

Claims (2)

1. Refrigerator (1) for placing food and drinks, which has a usable volume (9) with two adjacent compartments (4), each of which has a lid (6) of a hinged type that opens in a direction from top to bottom or from bottom to top, respectively, characterized in that the usable volume (9) has one or more shelves (7) and / or drawers carrying placed objects, moreover, from two compartments (4), the first compartment is closed by a lid (6), which opens in the direction from top to bottom, and closes in upward direction, turning around not of the movable horizontal axis (c1) in the lower part of the lid, and the second compartment is closed by the lid (6), which opens in the direction from bottom to top and closes in the direction from top to bottom, turning around a fixed horizontal axis (c2) in the upper part of the lid. 2. The refrigerator according to claim 1, characterized in that the net volume (9) comprises an inlet (10) formed by combining the compartments (4) by removing the shelf (7) between two adjacent compartments (4), the upper part of the inlet (10) ) is closed by a lid (6), opening in the direction from top to bottom and closing in the direction from bottom to top, turning around the horizontal axis (c1), and the lower part of the inlet (10) is closed by a lid (9), which opens in the direction from the bottom up and closes in the direction from the top down, turning around a horizontal axis (c2).
