Definitions

  • the foods stored in refrigerators are not always stored in lidded hermetic packages or tidily sealed plastic bags; therefore, the odors left by these foods remain be discharged in the air contained inside the refrigerators.
  • this "contaminated" air inevitably passes through the interior of the water dispensers located in the refrigerator doors (inter alia, for proper balancing of pressures, which is essential to dispense water dispensed in the container of the apparatus To allow outlet nozzle), the water that is dispensed by the dispenser, often has a certain taste and smell, which arise by absorbing odors from the actual interior air of the refrigerator.
  • Applicant has created the present "IMPROVEMENT OF A WATER-DISPENSING DEVICE APPLIED IN DOORS OF COOLING DEVICES", according to which the water container forming part of the dispensing device becomes completely leakproof and hermetic and with a single water dispenser Opening is closed by a likewise completely sealed and hermetic closing device, which in turn is provided with a single air inlet, the locking device is provided in its interior with an air filtration system.
  • the container is completely sealed and hermetic, its only opening is closed by a likewise sealed and hermetic closing device and the latter is provided with a single air inlet, the entire air (coming from the actual interior of the refrigerator) in the Container enters, inevitably passed through the air filtration system, which is provided inside the closing device, and thus suitably filtered.
  • the dispensing apparatus which is the object of the present patent differs from any known in the art and represents a true technical advancement in this field of activity.
  • Water dispenser model can be installed by a single
  • FIG. 1 is a front perspective view (external view) of FIG.
  • Refrigerator door in which the dispensing device is attached, which is equipped with the newly developed improvement
  • Figure 2 is a rear perspective view (interior view) of the door of the refrigerator shown in the previous figure, the single opening for supplying water provided in the upper part of the container being shown in detail, with a first opening above it provided with a sealed and hermetic closure device designed to close the single opening provided in the container in accordance with the present invention;
  • Figure 3 is an enlarged detail of the closure device attached to the single opening provided in the container;
  • Figure 4 now shows only the container, wherein above this, in particular over the single opening for supplying water, which is provided in its upper part, in a exploded in some parts perspective view of the preferred embodiment of the newly developed locking device is shown in the Inside is also equipped with the newly developed air filtration system, which is also present in its preferred embodiment;
  • Figure 5 shows the air filtration system enlarged in detail and as a sectional view
  • Figure 6 is a plan view of the container.
  • Figure 7 is a partial side sectional view of the container taken along the line A-A of the preceding figure, with the dense and hermetic closure provided thereon provided with the air filtration system again detailed.
  • Object of the present invention is an "IMPROVEMENT OF A WASSERSPENDEVORRICHTUNG 11 applied in doors of refrigerators, this device (A) is of the type consisting of a container (1) of suitable plastic, formed by a single part or by a body and a lid attached in a removable or non-removable manner to the inner panel (Pi) of the door (P) of any refrigerating appliance and suitably connected to a group of parts fixed to the door (P) of the appliance, which will not be described here because they are not part of the newly developed improvement.
  • the container (1) forming part of the dispenser proves to be completely leakproof and hermetic and is provided with a single opening (1a), preferably provided in its upper part, this opening (1a) is closed with a likewise completely sealed and hermetic closing device (2), which in turn is provided with a single air inlet (2a), wherein the closing device (2) is internally provided with an air filtration system (3).
  • the container (1) is completely sealed and hermetic, its single opening (1a) is closed by a likewise sealed and hermetic closing device (2) and the latter is provided with a single air inlet (2a), the entire air which enters the container (1) (coming from the actual interior of the refrigerator), necessarily guided by the air filtration system (3) provided inside the closure (2), and thus suitably filtered.
  • the closing device (2) is inserted in a rectangular depression (4) provided in the upper part of the container (1), more precisely in the region where its only opening (1a) is located.
  • the depression (4) is formed in a portion (4a) which surrounds the opening (1a) and which at the rear side has a projection (4b) and subsequently a further rectangular rear portion (4c) which has a small tubular shape lower projections (4d) is provided.
  • a central recess (4e) is provided to facilitate, if necessary, the release of the device (2) from the recess.
  • the closing device (2) is constituted by a body in the form of a basically parallelepiped-shaped casing (2b) having dimensions corresponding to the dimensions of the opening (1a) realized in the upper part of the container (1) so as to be inserted therein in the opening (1a) on the occasion of the insertion of the device (2) in the rectangular recess (4) of the container (1) is possible, wherein the housing (2b) forms the receptacle for the air filtration system (3).
  • the upper edges of the body (2b) are elongated orthogonally outwardly and define the formation of a rectangular surrounding skirt (2c) which coincides with the surrounding portion (4a) of the recess (4), the rear portion of which Enclosure (2c) via a groove (2d) forming a hinge, with a rear rectangular portion (2e) is connected, which coincides with the rear portion (4c) of the recess (4) and at the bottom with pins (2f) is provided which coincide with the tubular projections (4d) of the recess (4) and are adapted to be inserted therein (see Figure 7).
  • an inner groove (2g) is provided which surrounds the rectangular opening of the body (2b) and into which an overcap (2h) fits, which are formed by a plate having rectangular outlines and dimensions which coincide with those of the body (2b) and whose surrounding edges bend orthogonally downwards and bound short wings (2i) which fit perfectly into the inner groove (2g) of the body (2b) and ensure tightness between the two parts [body (2b) and cover (2h)].
  • the overcap (2h) is provided with an upper notch (2j) which forms the already mentioned single possible air inlet (2a) into the interior of the container (1), the air coming from inside the refrigerator and necessarily through the air filtration system (2). 3) must pass inside the housing (2b) before entering the container (1), since, as described earlier, the container (1) proves to be completely leakproof and hermetic.
  • the overcap (2h) is provided, as required, with internal vertical wings (2k) projecting from its bottom, these wings (2k) being responsible for maintaining proper positioning of the filtration system (3) (see Figure 7).
  • FIG. 4 A possible and preferred embodiment of the now newly developed air filtration system (3), which is provided in the closing device (2), is also shown in detail in Figures 4, 5 and 7.
  • the air filtration system (3) provided in the closure device (2) between the body (2b) and its corresponding overcap (2h) is sealed by a sealed filter box (3a) of suitable plastic, preferably foamed PS, formed in the interior of activated carbon (3b) or an equivalent is provided.
  • the vertical wings (2k) which protrude from the underside of the overcap (2h) of the closing device (2) hold the filter box (3a) inside the body (2b) of the closing device (FIG. 2) suitably pressurized.
  • the above-described air filtration system (3) is easy to install inside the body (2b) of the closing device (2), and the filter box (3a) can be changed easily every time it is required, enough to cover the lid (2h) to remove.
  • Locking device (2) can in turn also be easily inserted into the recess (4) provided in the container (1) adjacent to its opening (1a), this being defined by lower pins (2f) of the rear section (2e) of the body (2). 2b) suitably inserted into the tubular projections (4d) of the recess (4) is held in the recess.
