Definitions

  • This invention relates to an apparatus for the storage and usage of feeding-bottles, whose characteristics correspond to the precharacterizing part of the main claim.
  • the application field is substantially therefore directed to the refrigeration of feeding-bottle phials or respective food for children that must be stored for a certain period of time.
  • Patent application US 3 042 384 discloses a food serving cart for dispensing food to hospital patients in order to allow serving food to bed-ridden hospital patients who are located remote from kitchen facilities and in order to allow serving food at the proper temperature and condition so that a high degree of palatability is obtained.
  • the food serving cart is provided with heated and refrigerated chambers to keep hot food and cold food at suitable temperature.
  • the food serving cart is provided with a beverage container in a recess in the top deck thereof so that hot containers are insulated and shielded during-transportation but readily accessible during serving.
  • Patent application DE 36 35 171 discloses a trolley for food and/or crockery, having a container capable of travelling on running rollers, in which the container is mounted on an under frame and in which the container is constructed as a thermo-container.
  • Patent application US 3 199 579 discloses a heating and cooling food storage cabinet provided with a refrigerator for storing perishable food products in which a thin vertically arranged, self-contained and hermetically sealed refrigeration system unattached to the cabinet is provided so that it is freely slidable into and out of the cabinet through a slot in the front thereof.
  • the cabinet is provided with a plurality of modular units dividing the interior of the cabinet into a plurality of separate food storage compartments and the cabinet is adapted to refrigerate one of the compartments and heat another of the compartments.
  • Patent application JP 2005 245976 discloses a food service cart suitably miniaturizable while having a hot-reserving function. Shelf poles are fixed to project at both ends of a heater panel on one side surface of an interior wall surface of a hot-reserving compartment in which the heater panel is mounted. The inside of each shelf pole is a vertical groove-shaped duct, and communicates with an intake channel on either end side of a partition board. A plurality of openings are formed on the shelf poles, and the openings communicate with the duct formed inside the shelf poles.
  • Patent application JP 2004 286277 discloses a catering cart provided with a box and a cooler refrigerator which is constituted so as to form a flange on the upper edge of a cooling duct.
  • a cooler is installed and unitized on an installing plate formed by extending one side surface of the shroud of a fan.
  • a flange is formed on the lower edge of two side surfaces of the shroud.
  • An overhang part formed on the opening edge of an internal facing plate is projected in an opening part of a ceiling wall of a body.
  • Both flanges of the cooling duct are applied to an under surface of the overhang part, and are fastened by a screw to the lower side port edge of the opening part.
  • a cooling unit is inserted into the opening part from above, and both flanges of the shroud stop insertion by striking on an upper surface of the overhang part. Thereafter, a first duct plate and an end plate of the cooler applied there are fastened and fixed by a screw. In this way a air-tight connection of duct and shroud of the fan is obtained.
  • Patent application NL 1 002 515 discloses a trolley comprising a frame fixed to a wheeled chassis in which a plate is fitted in one or more of the trolley walls.
  • feeding-bottles are kept in a normal refrigerator, which is not very suitable for this function.
  • Current refrigerators must be opportunely set for said foods as, if too cold or too hot the food is not preserved well.
  • the feeding-bottles that must be served to the newborns must at present be taken from the refrigerators and taken elsewhere, to heating ovens or provide for heating in a more or less optimal way.
  • the scope of the invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and drawbacks realizing a specific apparatus which is particularly functional and suitable for said function.
  • the problem is solved with the characteristics of the main claim.
  • the sub-claims represent advantageous preferential solutions that supply better efficiency.
  • the advantage is being able to store the feeding-bottles in a rational and adequately refrigerated environment and at the moment of use have them directly in the required place promptly and have at the exact desired temperature the whole desired quantity of feeding-bottles ready-to-use and therefore without needing separate preparation and with the absolute certainty not only of the required temperature, but also of a homogeneous temperature throughout the whole food.
  • the invention refers to a feeding-bottle storage apparatus (1) on rotating wheels (121) and with upper surface for supporting feeding-bottle heating means (11) with downwards openable flap door forming a plane (111) for extract heated feeding-bottles by means of a trolley.
  • the feeding-bottles could be bottles e.g. with milk or other for children and/or new born babies and/or etc.
  • the container has two opposite access doors (122) and a double internal compartment divided by a refrigerated air exchanging wall (124) in an intermediate structure (21) comprising of respective finned heat-exchanger (22) to let the air pass, said air being circulated by an upper ventilation unit (124) in the dividing compartment.
  • the heat-exchanger (evaporator) (2) is operated by a lower compressor (C).
  • the airflow as claimed is a circulatory vortex in opposition starting from the dividing wall moving away upwards, downwards to the sides and descending, then re-flowing from the bottom upwards to the centre, realizing an anti-clockwise and clockwise circulation from and towards the centre.
  • the wheels have a braking system.
  • the apparatus is predisposed to conveniently operate between +4 and -2°C.
  • the apparatus' complete mobility is guaranteed, as is a uniform and constant temperature, an easy, quick removal, heating and use for all the stored containers thanks also to the upper heating equipments.
  • Such a storage system can contain for example up to two hundred and fifty 240 cc feeding-bottles at a uniform temperature of 4°C for all feeding-bottles that will conveniently be stored in sliding grids with standing rows spaced in order to let the air pass between of them.
  • a handrail or bumper is provided around the upper-zone and it acts as a handle, avoiding damages to the structure.
  • the two frontal doors fold open substantially with rotation up to 270°.
  • thermometer/thermostat both the control and adjustment (temperature/thermostat) means and the internal temperature indicator with use of said thermometer/thermostat are provided externally on the front. Electricity is supplied by means of a spiroidal cable.
