Definitions

  • the present invention relates to cooling devices having a dispenser with a compartment wherein water or beverage can be filled through a fill opening.
  • Cooling devices generally comprise two parts namely a cooler part and/or a freezer part.
  • the cooling part retards the spoiling of foodstuff disposed therein and preserves foodstuff.
  • the freezer part provides freezing of the foodstuff disposed therein by keeping the temperature of inside at zero degrees or lower than zero degrees.
  • Containers in shelf and container form, can be adapted to the inner part of the cooling device door.
  • the door of the cooling device can also be utilized as storage regions for the storage of foodstuff or beverages.
  • there are cooling devices having a dispenser which can dispense water, beverage or icy water without opening the door thereof. They can be dispensed through the dispenser by means a fluid valve. Since the valve member is accessible through an outer wall of a door of the cooling device, dispensing is realized without the need for opening the door.
  • the dispenser is adapted onto an inner wall of the door so as to remain inside the cooling device.
  • the dispenser is provided to exist within a heat insulated housing of the cooling device and the water or the beverage is provided to be cooled.
  • the water, coming from the dispenser, is dispensed by turning on the valve when desired with the help of a dispense channel provided on the cooling device door and opened towards the inner wall from the outer wall.
  • One each grooves are formed on the inner and outer walls of the door, which are connected to each other by means of the dispense channel.
  • a tank of the dispenser wherein water is stored, is positioned in an inner groove provided on the inner wall such that a valve/dispense opening is placed to the dispense channel.
  • the position of the groove provided on the inner wall determines the position where the dispenser is fixed.
  • An outer groove is formed on the outer wall thereof providing access to the valve member.
  • both grooves are at a position on the door where the user can easily access without the need for bending of the user.
  • On the base part of the outer groove provided on the outer wall of the door there is a tray so as to correspond under the valve member. After a glass is put on the tray, the valve member is turned on, and beverage/water can be filled to the glass. At the same time, thanks to the grid form of the tray, the overflowing water is able to pass through the grid and can be accumulated in the tray part.
  • the invention is a portable water dispensing module mounted to a refrigerator door inner liner.
  • the inner liner has side walls with aligned vertically spaced module supports.
  • the water dispensing module comprises a reservoir having a fill compartment located above a main reservoir.

  • the barriers 241 prevent overflow of the water.
  • the platform 240 functions as a guide for water during the filling process. It provides filling of the water into the container 21 in an easy manner without overflow. After the water filling process, the lid 24 is closed.
  • the dispenser 2 may have pluralities of containers 21 positioned telescopically. There may be a water filter inside the inner container 21.
  • the dispenser 2 is a water dispenser; however, beverages other than water can be put therein.
  • the container 21 may not be a member of a dispenser 2.
  • the container 21 is a compartment with a bigger volume than the shelves 11 illustrated in the figure.
  • the container 21 can be filled in an accessible manner without the need for removing it from the place thereof.
  • the smallest distance in the inner volume of the door 10 is left for providing space saving. This distance y forms the movement space of the lid 24.
  • the lid 24 is opened more or less than the wide angle ⁇ , there occurs a problem during the filling process and therefore, it has to be opened at an angle ⁇ .
  • the distance y should be provided in between.
  • the lid 24 can be connected in guide form to the side walls 231 so as to cover the fill opening 234 of the cover 23 and it can be opened and closed by means of the sliding movement with the guide.
  • the guide embodied on the side wall 231 is in the form of a rail (not illustrated in the figure). Since the pins of the lid 24 at both sides are engaging to the rail, the sliding movement can be provided along the side walls 231 of the fill opening 234.
