- the semi-cylindrical chamber (2c) is closed at the front by an insulating door (5) of semi-cylindrical complementary shape.
- the interior chamber (2c) and the insulating door (5) are, as shown in the sectional view of FIG. 2, of semi-circular shapes to match the shape of the barrel so as to optimize its refrigeration.
- the insulating door (5) is formed, in the preferred example, of a double wall made of all plastic or other materials.
- the insulating power of the door (5) can be obtained, for example, by an air space between the two walls. It can advantageously, without limitation, be made of a transparent material in order to make the mini-barrel visible.
- the insulating door (5) making it possible to introduce the barrel consists, in the preferred example, of a flap retractable by sliding, to the left or the right, between the barrel and the internal wall (2b) by any system of known sliding, for example a rail, a profile, or a rib, located on the horizontal partition (4).
- the insulating door (5) can also be opened using one or two leaves hinged to the main body (1) using any known hinge system, for example a pivot.
- the door can be lifted vertically by sliding.
- it can be entirely removable and be put in place by clipping, for example.
- Seals (6) arranged laterally on the door (5) or on the shell provide sealing so as to limit heat exchanges.
- the removable cover (7) On the upper part (la) of the main body (1) is placed a removable insulating cover (7) shown in Figure 4.
- the removable cover (7) has a cutout (8) forming an opening leaving free the access to the tap.
- the cutout (8) fits the pressure pulling system placed on the mini-barrel and on the door (5).
- the cutout forms a rectangular notch ending in a circular shape towards the rear.
- the cutout (8) has a different shape, the outline of which is complementary to the shape of the draw tap.
- the draw systems present on the market being varied; the device of the invention has different possible models of covers (7) with a cutout (8) adapted to each drawing system.
- the cover (7) has a semi-circular projection in order to fit the shape of the door (5). Therefore it facilitates the sliding of the door (5) in the preferred example shown in Figures 1 and 4.
- the cover (7) consists of a double wall separated by a space filled with an insulating material (3) .
- the container (10) can advantageously be removable in order to be cleaned. It is provided with a removable grid (11) on which the glasses are placed.
- the container (10) has a semi-circular shape towards 1 '.
- the container (10) can be articulated and folded over the lower part (lb) so as to retract to limit its size.
- the refrigeration device comprises a refrigeration unit placed in the lower part (lb), possibly in the compartment open towards the rear (ld). It is fixed in the compartment (ld) by screws or any suitable fixing means.
- Refrigeration can be ensured by any known refrigeration system.
- refrigeration can be obtained by a compressor system (12) known per se, circulating a cooling liquid.
- the compressor can be ventilated or not.
- the condenser not shown in the figures, would then be fixed, for example by 4 screws, to the rear of the main body (1).
- Evaporation according to the preferred model shown in Figures 1 and 2, is provided by a two-part evaporator located in the chamber (2c):
- a first evaporator (13a) is of curved shape, of
- LOCATION SHEET (RULE 26i semi-circular cut, to match the shape of the barrel and the wall (2b). It is fixed to the wall (2b) by screws or any other suitable fixing means.
- the evaporator (13a) can be embedded in the wall (2b).
- a second evaporator (13b) can be connected to the first (13a); flat, preferably circular, placed on the horizontal partition (4), it fits under the barrel.
- the presence of a double evaporator (13a) and (13b) increases the refrigeration capacities of the device.
- they are in direct contact with the walls of the mini-barrel which limits the insulating air layer in the refrigerating chamber (2c) and improves the performance of the invention.
- the horizontal partition (4) would carry a channel, not shown in the figures, recovering the condensates due to defrosting.
- Refrigeration can also be obtained by thermoelectric effect, like the Peltier effect.
- the evaporators (13a) and (13b) would be replaced by metal plates, of the same shape and characteristics as the evaporators (13a) and (13b), and constituting the heat exchangers.
- the refrigeration unit is connected to a power source known per se.
- a series of connection wires can indifferently connect the device of the invention to the mains network, or to an accumulator for example.
- An electrical switch (14) may be provided on the main body (1); it allows the device to be switched on and off.
- a temperature regulator (not shown in the figures), known per se, makes it possible to adapt the level of refrigeration to the outside temperature. The regulator
- LOCATION SHEET (RULE2 ⁇ temperature can be fixed, in any suitable way, outside on the main body (1), or inside the device, in the semi-cylindrical chamber (2c).
- the entire device consisting of the main body (1), the removable cover (7), the complementary container (10) can be made of any material, in particular plastics (for example ABS) molded or thermoformed.
- the entire device can also be made of stainless steel, lacquered metal, or obtained by combining several materials.
- the insulating materials (3) placed in the double walls of the main body (1), of the horizontal partition (4), of the removable cover (7) can consist, for example, and in a nonlimiting manner, of injected polyurethane foam. , or polystyrene sheets, giving them an insulating power thus reducing heat exchanges with the outside of the device.
- the seals (6) and (9) can be produced, for example, without limitation, in flexible rubber or in any material limiting heat exchange.
- the main body (1) of the refrigeration device would have dimensions of approximately 45 to 50 cm in height, 30 cm in width, 20 to 30 cm in depth, this for a minimum 5 liter barrel.
- the device could receive a second mini-keg housed in the lower part (lb).
- An additional heat exchanger for example an evaporator, of curved shape, placed in the part (lb) would keep this second mini-barrel cold, awaiting use.
- a door located in the outer shell (2a) would allow the installation and removal of the second mini-keg.
- the operation of the refrigeration device according to the invention described above is as follows. After switching on the refrigerating unit using, for example, the electrical switch (14) the user sets the desired temperature using the temperature controller. The user grabs the mini-keg equipped with its draw system and places it in the semi-cylindrical interior chamber (2c) then closes the insulating door (5). He then sets up the cover (7) on the main body (1) by fitting into the opening (8) the pressure pulling system. When the drink has reached the desired temperature the user can draw the liquid thanks to the tap of the draw system. The glass is placed on the grid (11). After drawing off the excess liquid flows into the container (10). The user can easily clean the container (10) and the grid (11) which are removable.
- the refrigeration device has the advantage of keeping the temperature of the drink low and constant for as long as desired while maintaining its taste and hygienic qualities. It simultaneously draws and refreshes the liquid. Unlike the systems of the prior art suitable for large volumes, the device of the invention is suitable for mini-drums of 5 to 10 liters approximately. Therefore and by its design it is easily accommodated and simple to use. It requires little maintenance. The mini-keg, isolated from the ambient air, is kept at the ideal temperature for tasting the drink.
