  • the opening/closing direction (right turning axis or left turning axis) of the doors of the freezing and fresh food compartments can be adjusted while the refrigerator is installed.
  • refrigerators with freezing compartment doors having mechanisms which can be opened/closed in different ways.
  • door with different structures which can be opened/closed like a drawer or which have only a standard door opening/closing mechanism.
  • said doors which can be opened/closed in a single manner the user encounters problems of opening the door of a compartment as desired especially in a narrow area and easily accessing the foodstuffs in the compartment. The user may want to access the foodstuffs through a small gap without completely opening the door when the space is limited.
  • Japanese Patent Document No. JP201710189 it is disclosed that after a drawer-type freezing compartment door is opened as a drawer, the cover part thereof is axially opened outwards.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a cooling device comprising a door which can be opened/closed in different manners as per user need and a door handle which enables the door to be opened/closed in different manners.
  • the cooling device of the present invention comprises a door handle which is connected to the door from a point thereof and which can be shifted to horizontal or vertical positions on the door after being rotated around said connection point. With the movement of said door handle, the door of the cooling device can be opened both by rotating around the vertical axis of the body and by sliding forward in the horizontal axis of the body.
  • the cooling device of the present invention comprises a movement mechanism which enables the door to be opened as a drawer when the user changes the door handle to the horizontal position and which enables the door to be opened by rotating around the vertical axis of the body when the user changes the door handle to the vertical position.
  • the gearwheel in the movement mechanism is connected to the door handle and the connection point, and thus when the door handle is moved, the gearwheel also moves and actuates the movement mechanism.
  • the gearwheel rotates right with the downwards movement of the door, thus the lower movement arm moves downwards and the upper movement arm moves upwards.
  • the feet on the upper movement arm are released from the rail housing, and the upper movement arm is fitted into the upper hinge by means of the upper hinge pin while the lower movement arm is fitted into the lower hinge by means of the lower hinge pin.
  • the cooling device comprises a lower and an upper fixing element which are disposed on the door and which enable the door handle to be connected to the door from the other end of the connection point.
  • the door handle is enabled to be securely mounted onto the door after moving between the horizontal and vertical positions.
  • a cooling device comprising a door which can be opened/closed in an alternative manner. Consequently, the user can easily shift between the different opening/closing positions of the door by means of the rotary movement of the door handle.
  • Figure 1 - is the front perspective view of the cooling device of the present invention when the door handle is in the vertical position on the door.
  • Figure 2 - is the front perspective view of the cooling device of the present invention when the door handle is in the vertical position on the door and when the door is open.
  • Figure 3 - is the front perspective view of the cooling device of the present invention when the door handle is in the horizontal position on the door.
  • Figure 4 - is the sideways perspective view of the cooling device of the present invention when the door handle is in the horizontal position on the door and when the door is open.
  • Figure 5 - is the exploded view of the door of the cooling device of the present invention in an embodiment.
  • Figure 6 - is the front view of the movement mechanism of the cooling device of the present invention.
  • Figure 7 - is the view of the operation of the movement mechanism in the cooling device of the present invention when the door handle is in the horizontal position.
  • Figure 8 - is the view of the operation of the movement mechanism in the cooling device of the present invention when the door handle is in the vertical position.
  • the cooling device (1) comprises a body (4); at least one compartment (13) which is disposed in the body (4) and wherein the foodstuffs are placed; a door (2) which provides access into the compartment (13); and a door handle (3) which enables the user to hold the door (2) and to open/close the door (2).
  • the cooling device (1) of the present invention comprises a connection point (30) which enables the door handle (3) to be connected to the door (2) from one point thereof; the door handle (3) which can be rotated around the connection point (30); and a movement mechanism (6) which enables the door (2) to be opened/closed by rotating around the vertical axis (E) of the body (4) when the door handle (3) is shifted to the vertical position on the door (2) by being rotated around the connection point (30), and which enables the door (2) to be opened/closed by being slid forwards from the body (4) when the door handle (3) is shifted to the horizontal position on the door (2) by being rotated around the connection point (30).
  • the door handle (3) is mounted to the door (2) via the connection point (30) so as to rotate around the connection point (30).
  • the door handle (3) can be shifted to the horizontal or vertical position on the door (2) by being rotated around the connection point (30).
  • the movement mechanism (6) is actuated and the door (2) can be opened as a drawer by sliding forwards from the body (4).
  • the movement mechanism (6) is actuated once more and the door (2) can be opened by rotating around the vertical axis (E) of the body (4).
  • the user can open/close the door (2) as desired and access the compartment (13).
