Definitions

  • the invention relates to a refrigerating appliance (or refrigerated appliance or refrigeration appliance), such as a refrigerator, a refrigerating display unit or a freezer, that comprises a cabinet (or box or unit) with at least one opening towards the cooled portion of the said cabinet, and which is covered preferably by at least one “moveable” (i.e.
  • the invention can be moved, for example sideways—as by sliding—or by pivoting) panel, optionally transparent, such as a lid, a door or a side wall, made for example of glass, the said panel being edged (or framed) with mouldings (or edging or framing element(s)) that can slide or abut hermetically with a casing moulding (or external moulding) in the cabinet opening.
  • the invention also relates to the edged panel and the edging element or elements of the panel.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a refrigerating appliance whose structure is very simple, particularly as regards the panel, and which offers the manufacturer great structural flexibility when he is determining the final shape of the panel.
  • At least one edging (or framing or surrounding) element (or moulding) of the panel comprises at least one profile (or section or moulding), hereinafter referred to as the “first profile” and having a first part and a second part (or flanges) forming approximately an L, the first part bordering one main face of the panel and the second part covering the edge face of the panel and comprising a recess (or concavity) provided with at least one barb (or hook or projection or rib).
  • the aforesaid edging element also comprises a second profile (or section or moulding) having a first part and a second part (or flanges) forming approximately an L, the first part of the second profile bordering the other main face of the panel (generally opposite the first part of the first profile) while the second part of the second profile is designed to be pressed and retained by means of at least one barb (or hook or projection or rib) in the aforesaid recess (or concavity), which is provided with one or more corresponding barbs, in the second part of the first profile.
  • a second profile or section or moulding
  • the first part of the second profile bordering the other main face of the panel (generally opposite the first part of the first profile) while the second part of the second profile is designed to be pressed and retained by means of at least one barb (or hook or projection or rib) in the aforesaid recess (or concavity), which is provided with one or more corresponding barbs, in the second part of
  • the aforesaid recess is preferably formed in a direction parallel to the edge face of the panel (when considering the profile as positioned on the panel) and it is particularly preferable for it to be cut in a V or in a bevel, as expounded and illustrated later, this embodiment having in particular advantages of a practical nature and in terms of strength, fixing and flexibility.
  • the first profile with its L shape and the recess having at least one barb in the part intended to cover the edge face of the panel, with if necessary bending and cutting in a V (or in a bevel) in the said part and parallel to the edge face, enables a good engagement with complementary parts (particularly the second profile), the resulting edging element offering great flexibility.
  • the panel can be made up of one or more sheets (or panes or layers) of inorganic material and/or organic material.
  • the panel consists of a sheet of glass, this glass generally being toughened glass. It may be transparent to allow the inside of the cabinet to be seen, and may be printed, died, enamelled, matt-finished or frosted (in the case of glass), or covered with layers, e.g. in order to give it low emissivity (or reflect infrared radiation) to protect objects inside the cabinet from external light and heat. It may also be provided with heating metal leaf or collectors and/or wires and/or layers in order for example to prevent formation of condensation etc.
  • At least one edging element, and preferably each edging element of the panel is formed by at least one first profile and preferably by the two profiles as defined earlier, fitted together.
  • the edging (or frame or surround) of the panel can be formed by several edging elements or can advantageously be a single element bent and cut where necessary to conform to the contours of the panel, and formed by at least one first profile, and preferably by both profiles, as mentioned according to the invention.
  • the first profile is preferably that termed the “lower” profile (its first part bordering the underside of the panel or in other words coming under the panel) and, where relevant, the second profile is that termed the “upper” profile (its first part bordering the upper main face of the panel, and resting generally on the panel).
  • the second profile is that termed the “upper” profile (its first part bordering the upper main face of the panel, and resting generally on the panel).
  • the term “inner profile” (positioned in the cooled portion of the cabinet or on the so-called “inner face” of the panel facing this cooled portion) may be used for one of the profiles, preferably the first profile, and the term “outer profile” (placed on the outside of the cabinet or on the so-called “outer face” of the panel facing towards the exterior) or simply “cap” may be used for the other profile (the structure of this profile generally being simpler than the first profile and serving to conceal the first profile).
  • the profiles may be of identical, similar or different material (plastic, metal etc.). In one advantageous embodiment of the invention, they are both plastic. In another embodiment, the inner profile is plastic and the other profile or cap is made of some other material, for example aluminium. These profiles are normally rigid or semi-rigid (the cap can be more flexible than the other profile), and of great length relative to their other dimensions. They are generally and preferably of constant or practically constant cross section (possibly, there may locally be parts such as a handle or possible interruptions of certain parts of the profile). They may be produced for example by moulding, extrusion, optionally with operations of bending and cutting, etc.
  • Each profile covers at least (or extends over) part of the height of the edge face of the panel (along part or all of the perimeter of the panel) and only covers one main face (inner or outer) of the panel along its margin (or optionally part of its margin) adjacent to the covered edge face, or in other words each profile covers, wholly or partly, one arris (or sharp edge) of the panel (bordering the inner or outer main face of the panel) and part of the faces either side of the arris.
  • the edging element mentioned in the definition of the invention thus includes two profiles each bordering one (different) main face of the panel (each profile covering only the edge face and bordering only one of the main faces adjacent to the edge face, the other face being covered if required by the other profile), each having an L bend and at least one barb.
  • Each part of each profile may be directly in contact with the panel or at a short distance from it, and the intermediate space may be empty or occupied optionally by an adhesive or glue for example and/or by a portion of the other profile (in the case of the part inserted into another part).
  • the expressions “bordering” or “covering the edge face” mean “covering at least part of the margin (or edge face, respectively) along at least part of the perimeter of the panel”.
  • each profile is composed of two parts forming an L, or each profile has an approximately L-shaped cross section (or right profile); in particular, the two parts of the profile form an angle, on the side facing the arris of the panel to be covered, that is preferably acute or close to 90° (by extension, a shape closer to the V than to the L is also included), and the lengths of the flanges or walls defining the angle are generally different.
  • the two parts of the profile form an angle, on the side facing the arris of the panel to be covered, that is preferably acute or close to 90° (by extension, a shape closer to the V than to the L is also included), and the lengths of the flanges or walls defining the angle are generally different.
  • the two parts of the profile form an angle, on the side facing the arris of the panel to be covered, that is preferably acute or close to 90° (by extension, a shape closer to the V than to the L is also included), and the lengths of the flanges or walls defining the angle are
  • the first part of the first profile when considering the cross section of the profile, usually forms the longer leg (or rib or branch) of the L (or flange of the profile) and the second part the shorter leg, whether the length is measured from the inside of the arris (adjacent to the panel) at the junction of the two parts, or from the outer arris of the profile; similarly the first part of the second profile forms the longer leg (or rib or branch) of the L (or flange of the profile) and the second part the shorter leg.
  • the first part of the first profile preferably adheres to the chosen main face of the panel (for example, and advantageously, the underside of the panel in the case of a horizontal panel), along the margin of the said panel (or main face) by means of e.g. a double-sided adhesive tape, this method having the advantage that the first profile can be fixed reliably to the panel in a very simple manner.
  • the second part of the first profile comes into contact with (or abuts against) or is arranged close to (as illustrated further in FIGS. 3 to 8 ) the edge face of the panel, and advantageously covers the full height of this edge face.
  • the first part of the second profile comes directly into contact with (or abuts against or rests on) the other main face of the panel (for example the top, preferably flat side of the panel in the case of a horizontal panel), along the margin of the said panel or main face, as also illustrated later.
  • the other main face of the panel for example the top, preferably flat side of the panel in the case of a horizontal panel
  • the profiles are advantageously mounted at least partly “directly” on the panel, that is with no intermediate material between the profiles and the panel, except the optional adhesive on the first part of the first profile. It is notably unnecessary to use an intermediate material to provide a seal, for example.
  • the second part of the first profile and the first part of the second profile cover directly (with no intermediate material) the edge face and the margin of one main face of the panel, or the edging element is fixed directly to (or covers directly) the panel on at least two sides, in particular on its edge face and one of its main faces.
  • the two profiles are assembled in a stable and efficient manner by the means described in the definition of the invention, i.e. not only by insertion of a part or protuberance of one into a recess of the other, but also by the presence of barb(s) both on the said part (or protuberance) and the recess, at least one barb on one part engaging with (or being complementary with) at least one barb on the other part in order to fix (or retain) one part securely to the other; in a way, by the clinging or hooking of one barb (of one profile) to the other (of the other profile), these barbs provide a connection between the profiles which is both simple and strong (a “snap-fit” or clip effect), so that the edging element according to the invention has a strong structure while at the same time offering great flexibility (various different elements having this profile can be assembled together). If required, the connection does not prevent subsequent separation of the two profiles if necessary, by forcing and pulling the two profiles.
  • the barbs are generally in the form of little continuous or discontinuous protuberances or projections or ribs or hooks or asperities or folds (or bends) running (or extending) along the profiles (or along one wall of the recess of the profile) or along part of their length.
  • the length of these projecting parts is in particular less than the length of the flanges of the profiles or of the walls to which they are attached, the barbs preferably forming, with respect to the said flanges or walls, as it were commas or catches or hooks, or the said flanges or walls being curved at their edge to form the said barbs.
  • At least one barb is on one of the profiles, on the second part of the profile (in particular at the edge of this part, e.g. if the edge of this part is bent, the barb being formed by the bent part) and at least one barb is located in (generally at the edge of) the aforesaid recess, the barbs being advantageously mutually complementary.
  • the two profiles can be inserted into each other on part or all of the height of the aforesaid recess.
  • a single barb (running the length of at least part of the profile) is provided on each of the parts of the profiles that are to be fitted into each other.
  • the recess is preferably cut in a bevel (advantageously on one of its sides) or cut in a V, and receives the protuberance or the part of the other profile, which preferably has the same inclination, thus further improving the connection between the two profiles, as illustrated later (FIGS. 2 to 7 ).
  • the second part of the first profile can have recesses such that it looks somewhat like an N or a laterally inverted N (i.e. seen in a mirror). This embodiment has been found to be very easy to implement in practice.
  • the second profile (or cap) has a second very short part (compared to the first part) bent at its edge to form the barb, this short part being just able to snap onto the corresponding barb at the entrance of the recess of the first profile, the direction of the short part being advantageously oblique relative to that of the other part of the profile, as indicated in the previous paragraph.
  • the height of the second part of the second profile is generally less than that of the edge face.
  • the second profile is generally fitted after the first profile has been glued in position, to enable the gluing and positioning of the panel to be controlled, and folds or ribs can be provided at the edge of the first part of the profile or profiles, for reasons of e.g. positioning, clamping, sealing and/or appearance.
  • the first profile may comprise on the face away from the panel an approximately (or substantially) dovetail-shaped recess (or concavity).
  • the walls of the profile defining the said recess can be used as support feet for the said profile when it is placed on underlying panels or frame or structure members.
  • the said walls can be designed to house either an approximately or substantially dovetail-shaped protuberance present on a carrier structure or moulding, or a hermetic support element (or portion) providing sealing between the panel or profile and the underlying element or elements on which it rests, this hermetic support element being also provided with a (substantially) dovetail-shaped part or projection.
  • the first profile can consequently be provided with good support on the casing moulding (or the framing of the cabinet or box) of the refrigerating appliance, the carrier moulding optionally being inserted between the first profile and the said casing moulding, the support position optionally be sealed.
  • the carrier moulding (or support structure or element or profile) may, in accordance with the invention, be essentially L-shaped in cross section, and the shorter part (or leg or flange or rib) of the L may be provided with the dovetail-shaped projection, while the longer part of the L of the carrier moulding may be taller than the height of the first and second profiles in their assembled condition. It is thus possible to arrange two panels one above the other on the casing moulding of the refrigerating appliance such that the panels can if required be moved relative to each other, without damaging each other when moved relative to each other.
  • a hermetic portion may be designed to cover or abut against the edge (or rim or lip) of the second profile (or upper profile where relevant) of a lower panel, the said edge being directed (or turned) away from or towards the centre of the said panel (or being the edge nearest to or furthest from the centre of the said panel). It is thus easy to establish a hermetic connection between two panels arranged moveably one above the other when the lower profile of the upper panel is resting directly on the upper profile of the lower panel.
  • the second profile or outer or upper profile as the case may be may include a protuberance (or handle) projecting approximately at right angle from the plane of the panel (and generally from the longer or first part of the said profile), and possibly running along the length of the profile. This enables a user who wishes to move the panel to grasp the said panel and move it with ease, and if necessary lift it a short distance.
  • This handle may also be mounted directly on the panel.
  • Electrodes may be inserted, for example next to the double-sided adhesive tape (if used) or in the dovetail-shaped concavity of the first profile in order to supply current to fine electric wires running (directly or embedded in a matrix) on the panel. It is therefore a simple matter (where relevant) to eliminate condensation on the panel.
  • the panel may also, according to the invention, engage with a casing (or external) moulding arranged in the cabinet opening (or a frame defining the said opening), this casing moulding (or frame) being stepped (having a cross section in steps) or in levels.
  • a casing (or external) moulding arranged in the cabinet opening (or a frame defining the said opening), this casing moulding (or frame) being stepped (having a cross section in steps) or in levels.
