Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
Embodiment 1 FIG.
In Embodiment 1, the refrigerator is a general household refrigerator and assumes a refrigerator having a plurality of doors.
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of refrigerators 1a to 1c according to Embodiment 1, and is a front view as seen from the front in a state where refrigerators 1a to 1c are placed.
1A shows a refrigerator 1a having six doors on the top and bottom, FIG. 1B shows a refrigerator 1b having five doors on the top and bottom, and FIG. 1C shows a refrigerator 1c having three doors on the top and bottom.
In the following description, the refrigerators 1a to 1c are collectively referred to as the refrigerator 1.
In FIG. 1, the door of the refrigerator 1 is closed.

As shown in FIGS. 1A to 1C, at least one of the plurality of doors of the refrigerator 1 (21a and 22a in FIG. 1A, 2b in FIG. 1B, and 2c in FIG. 1C) have.
Specifically, at least one of the plurality of doors of the refrigerator 1 is configured by pasting a decorative door member with gradation and a handle on the front surface of the door. ing. The door member is made of, for example, plate-like glass.

The door member of the door 2a of the refrigerator 1a shown in FIG. 1A, the door member of the door 2b of the refrigerator 1b shown in FIG. 1B, and the door member of the door 2c of the refrigerator 1c shown in FIG. , 103 in FIG. 1B and 105 in FIG. 1C) to the lower part (see 102 in FIG. 1A, 104 in FIG. 1B, 106 in FIG. 1C), a gradation that gradually becomes darker.
Moreover, the door member of the door 21a and the door 22a of the refrigerator 1a shown in FIG. 1A, the door member of the door 2b of the refrigerator 1b shown in FIG. 1B, and the door member of the door 2c of the refrigerator 1c shown in FIG. A plurality of straight patterns are applied in the direction.
A specific method for applying gradation and pattern to the door member will be described later.

Thus, in each of the door members of the door 2a, the door 2b, and the door 2c, the brightness is lowered so that the upper part of the door member is the brightest and gradually becomes darker toward the lower part of the door member. Further, as the brightness decreases, the handle appears to be erased from the upper part of the door member to the lower part of the door member.
In addition, as shown in FIGS. 1A to 1C, the doors with gradation and pattern on the door member of the

doors

2a, 2b, and 2c with gradation and pattern on the basis of the end portion with the lowest brightness. 2a, 2b, 2c door members located on the opposite side to the end with the highest brightness (four door members shown at 107 in FIG. 1A, four door members shown at 108 in FIG. 1B) The two door members 109 shown in FIG. 1C have a single color tone.

In this manner, in the refrigerators 1a to 1c, the doors 2a to 2c have a brightness difference that gradually darkens from the top to the bottom with the refrigerators 1a to 1c being placed, respectively, and correspond to the brightness difference. It is composed of a door member with a handle that seems to gradually disappear. Further, in the refrigerators 1a to 1c, the door members positioned below the end of the door with the lightness and the gradation that are the lowest in the state where the refrigerators 1a to 1c are placed are monochromatic. It is comprised with the door member to which the color tone was given.
As a result, the refrigerators 1a to 1c allow the user to change natural decorations as if the refrigerator 1a to 1c has a handle on the lower door member that is not decorated with gradation and handles. Can make you feel.
In the first embodiment, among door members constituting one or more doors of the refrigerator 1, a door member provided with gradation and a handle is also referred to as a “handled door member”.
Moreover, in Embodiment 1, among the door members constituting one or more doors of the refrigerator 1, a door member with a single color decoration that is not subjected to gradation and pattern is referred to as a “monochromatic door member”. Also called.

Here, in the refrigerator 1, the structural example of a door member with a handle and a single color door member is demonstrated in detail. In the following description, the door member is made of glass.
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view for explaining a configuration example of each door member constituting a plurality of doors of refrigerator 1 in Embodiment 1, and FIG. 2A shows a configuration example of a door member with a handle. It is sectional drawing and FIG. 2B is sectional drawing which shows the structural example of a monochrome door member. As an example, FIG. 2A is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA ′ of FIG. 1A, and FIG. 2B is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB ′ of FIG. 1A.

As shown in FIG. 2A, the door member with the handle has a gradation (202 in FIG. 2A), a handle (203 in FIG. 2A), a base collar (204 in FIG. 2A), a door member (201 in FIG. 2A), A protective layer (205 in FIG. 2A) is applied in layers.
In the gradation layer, the degree to which the gradation becomes dark can be set as appropriate.
In FIG. 2A, for convenience of explanation, wavy lines are used, but in the pattern layer, the content of the pattern to be applied can be set as appropriate. Here, for example, it is assumed that a plurality of straight patterns are applied in appropriate colors in the horizontal direction (see FIG. 1). As shown to FIG. 2A, although a handle | pattern is given over the whole surface of a door member with a handle | pattern, it is given so that the said pattern may be erase | eliminated by gradation by giving a gradation repeatedly. As a result, the lighted door member appears to change in lightness according to the gradation, and as the lightness becomes lower, the pattern applied with the gradation becomes invisible.
In FIG. 2A, for the sake of convenience of explanation, although shaded is used, an appropriate color tone is applied in a single color to the base color layer. In the first embodiment, “the color tone is applied in a single color” means that the color tone is applied without any gap, and the color tone includes those containing metallic or pearl.
In FIG. 2A, the gradation and the pattern are applied to different layers. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the gradation and the pattern may be applied to one layer. .

On the other hand, as shown to FIG. 2B, a base color (204 of FIG. 2B) and a protective layer (205 of FIG. 2B) and a protective layer (205 of FIG. 2B) are given with respect to a door member (201 of FIG. 2B).
The contents of the base color layer and the protective layer in the single color door member are the same as the contents of the door member with handle shown in FIG. 2A.

As shown in FIG. 2, the monochromatic door member can reduce the layer to be decorated as compared with the door member with a handle.
Therefore, in the refrigerator 1, the cost which concerns on the door member preparation of the refrigerator 1 can be suppressed by using the monochrome door member which reduced the layer decorated for the door member of a door which does not give gradation and a pattern.

2A and 2B show an example of the decoration order when the door member is made of glass, but the decoration order is not limited to this, and the gradation (202 in FIG. 2A) and the pattern (203 in FIG. 2A) are shown. ) May be reversed.

Next, a specific method for applying gradation, a pattern, or a color tone to the handle door member and the single color door member will be described.
For example, a door member with a handle and a monochrome door member are printed with a gradation resin coating layer, a pattern resin coating layer, or a color tone resin coating layer directly on the door member. Or a color tone is applied.
You may make it give gradation, a pattern, or a color tone by affixing the decoration film by which the gradation, the pattern, and the color tone were decorated to the door member.

As mentioned above, the refrigerator 1 which concerns on Embodiment 1 is decorated with the decoration which multiplied gradation and the pattern on the door member which comprises at least one door of the some door which the refrigerator 1 has, and gradation It becomes the refrigerator 1 which seems to be erased according to the pattern. In addition, the refrigerator 1 according to the first embodiment has the highest brightness in the door member provided with the gradation and the pattern on the basis of the end portion having the lowest brightness in the door member provided with the gradation and the pattern. The door member which is located on the side opposite to the end portion and has no gradation and handle is the refrigerator 1 which is a door member having a single color tone.
As a result, the user can feel a natural change in the decoration of the door of the refrigerator 1 and feel as if the pattern is also contained in the door member that is not decorated with gradation and pattern. Therefore, the refrigerator 1 having high design properties can be obtained. In addition, the door members of some of the plurality of doors of the refrigerator 1 are provided with a single color tone, so that the number of decorated layers can be reduced and the cost can be reduced.

In the above description, as an example, the handle applied to the door member with the handle is a plurality of horizontal straight lines as shown in FIG. 1, but is not limited thereto.
Hereinafter, another example of the handle applied to the door member with the handle will be described.

FIGS. 3 to 8 are diagrams for explaining an example of other handles applied to the door member with the handle in the first embodiment.
3 to 8 show a single handle door member with a gradation and a handle.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the handle applied to the handle door member may be a plurality of horizontal lines having fluctuations in a state where the refrigerator 1 is placed.
When the color of the base color (refer to 204 in FIG. 2A) applied to the pattern layer on which a plurality of line patterns having fluctuations are applied is made a metallic color, the door of the refrigerator 1 is made metallic to the user. If the door of a handle can be made to feel and it is made a brown color, it can make a user feel the door of the refrigerator 1 to the door of a woodgrain pattern, and the design nature of the refrigerator 1 improves more.

Moreover, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, the handle applied to the door member with the handle is different from each other in the horizontal direction in which the refrigerator 1 is placed and the heights or the intervals in the height direction are different from each other. It may be a plurality of lines.
Since the handle is a random line, the refrigerator 1 having a door that gives a user an organic impression while being a geometric handle can be obtained.

Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, the handle applied to the door member with the handle is represented by a plurality of figures that form a line in the horizontal direction depending on the set and the directionality in a state where the refrigerator 1 is placed. It may be a pattern with an arrow feather pattern.
By showing the directionality of the line by a set of figures, it is possible to make the refrigerator 1 having a door having a door that gives a moving impression to the user as compared with a pattern using a single line. .

For example, as shown in FIGS. 6A to 6C, the pattern applied to the door member with a pattern may be a pattern pattern in which arbitrary figures are spread.
By making the handle have no direction in the vertical and horizontal directions, the refrigerator 1 can naturally show the connection between the doors to the user.

For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the handle applied to the door member with the handle may be a diagonal stripe pattern or a pattern obtained by crossing diagonal stripes. FIG. 7 shows a pattern in which diagonal stripes are crossed as an example.
By making the pattern in the diagonal direction, even with a small printing area, it becomes possible to arrange the pattern on the entire door member with pattern, and by reducing the amount of ink used, the cost can be reduced. It can also be set as the door member with the handle | steering_wheel which suppressed.
For example, as shown in FIG. 7, when a pattern in an oblique direction is applied, as shown in FIG. 3, a blank portion is compared with a case in which a pattern of a plurality of horizontal lines having fluctuations is applied. The amount of ink used in the print layer of the pattern is small.

For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the pattern applied to the door member with a pattern may be a pattern in which figures are randomly arranged in a radial pattern.
By giving a pattern in which random figures are arranged, it is possible to make it difficult for the user to feel a shift in the pattern between the doors. Thereby, inferior goods are reduced and the production efficiency of the refrigerator 1 goes up.

Thus, the handle applied to the door member with handle can be set as appropriate.

In the first embodiment, the door member is made of glass. However, this is only an example, and the door member may be made of, for example, a metal steel plate or stone. .
Moreover, in the above Embodiment 1, although the door member was plate-shaped, this is only an example and the door member should just be an exterior material used for the refrigerator 1. FIG. For example, the door member may be a member having a curved shape over the entire surface, or may be a member having a rounded corner.

In Embodiment 1 described above, as shown in FIG. 1, as an example, the refrigerator 1 is assumed to have a plurality of doors above and below, but this is only an example.
For example, the refrigerator 1 may have a plurality of doors on the left and right.

Further, in the first embodiment described above, the front surface of at least one of the doors 2a to 2c among the plurality of doors of the refrigerator 1 is gradually increased in the vertical direction from the upper part to the lower part with the refrigerator 1 placed. The door member is provided with a gradation that darkens and a pattern that appears to be erased according to the gradation, but this is only an example.
For example, a gradation in which the front surface of at least one of the doors 2a to 2c among the plurality of doors of the refrigerator 1 is gradually brightened from the top to the bottom in the vertical direction with the refrigerator being placed, according to the gradation It may be configured by a door member provided with a handle that seems to be erased.

Further, for example, a gradation in which the front surface of at least one of the plurality of doors of the refrigerator 1 gradually darkens from left to right in the left-right direction with the refrigerator 1 being placed, and the gradation It may be composed of a door member with a handle that seems to be erased depending on the gradation, a gradation that gradually becomes brighter from the left part to the right part, and it is erased according to the gradation It is good also as what is comprised with the door member to which the handle which seems to go is given (for example, refer FIG. 9A and FIG. 9B).
Further, for example, the front surface of at least one of the plurality of doors of the refrigerator 1 is gradually darkened from one end to the other end on the diagonal line, and is erased according to the gradation. You may make it comprise the door member to which the handle which seems to go is given (refer FIG. 10A and FIG. 10B).
The front surface of at least one of the doors of the refrigerator 1 is given gradation from one end to the other, and a pattern that seems to be erased according to the gradation is given. What is necessary is just to be comprised with a door member.

In the first embodiment described above, gradation is applied from one end of the door member to the other end, for example, as shown in FIG. This is just an example. The gradation does not necessarily start from the end of the door member, and there may be a portion having a constant lightness in a single portion. The gradation may be applied from the one end of the door member to the other end.

As described above, according to the first embodiment, the refrigerator 1 is provided with gradation on the front surface from one end to the other end, and the pattern is overlapped with the gradation. At least one door 2a to 2c composed of a door member applied so as to be erased accordingly is provided. As a result, it is possible to make the user feel a natural decoration change with respect to the door of the refrigerator 1 and to improve the design of the refrigerator 1.

In addition, according to the first embodiment, the refrigerator 1 has a higher lightness in the door member provided with the gradation and the pattern on the basis of the end portion having the lower lightness in the door member provided with the gradation and the pattern. The door member located on the side opposite to the end portion is configured to have a single color tone. Thereby, it is possible to make the user feel as if a pattern is also included in the door member that is not decorated with gradation and pattern. Moreover, in the refrigerator 1, the cost which concerns on the door member preparation of the refrigerator 1 can be suppressed by using the monochrome door member which reduced the layer decorated for the door member of a door which does not give gradation and a pattern.

In the present invention, any component of the embodiment can be modified or any component of the embodiment can be omitted within the scope of the invention.

Since the refrigerator according to the present invention is configured so that the door is decorated with a natural change by multiplying a gradation and a pattern and can be improved in design, it can be applied to a refrigerator having a plurality of doors. it can.

1a, 1b, 1c refrigerator, 2a, 2b, 2c, 21a, 22a door.
