Cooling Arrangement for Refrigerators

Abstract

A cooling arrangement for refrigerators that enables better temperature control and maintenance for beverage cans. The cooling arrangement facilitates access to the beverage cans without opening other cold storage chambers of the refrigerator. The cooling arrangement also prevents abrupt movement of the cans that can generate overflow of the liquid content of the beverage cans upon opening.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention is related to the field of appliances, devices, apparatus and arrangements for home, public or industrial use, etc. for cooling of products or packages containing products, preferably of mass consumption such as beverages and more specifically containers or cans. More specifically, the invention is a selective cooling arrangement for these products and enhanced access to the same, mainly in domestic refrigerators.DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR STATE OF THE ART[0002]Refrigerators for general products whether for industrial, domestic or public use, dispensers, etc. consist of an insulated box that contains what is known as a cold storage or cooling chamber in the interior. In domestic refrigerators the interior of this box is usually divided into two parts: one part for cooling products in general (mainly foodstuffs) in the main chamber which is fitted with a main access door, and another part above or below the first devoted to more intense coolin...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The cooling arrangement in this patent allows for controlled temperatures for certain products without having to open other chambers of the refrigerator. It also prevents abrupt movement of cans stored in the same area.

Problems solved by technology

For certain products, however, neither of these temperature regimes is the most suitable to condition them for consumption.

Moreover, conventional refrigerators do not include specially designed storage space for drinks cans which as a general rule are stored in some inconvenient sector of the main doors.

This in turn means that when opening and closing the door the cans move abruptly from side to side so that the beverage will be agitated causing them to overflow when opened.

However, domestic refrigerators adapted to or that have special compartments for conditioning beer and other products at sectorized temperatures and which provide easy, quick and selective access to said products are unknown in the current state of the art.
