Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cooling device whereof the lid is illuminated.
  • lids which are disposed on the door and which allow the users to take their cooled foods and beverages without opening the cooling device door are provided.
  • the said lids which are also called door in door are generally used for easily taking outside the bottles stored on the door shelf. Thus, the door is not opened for taking the bottle, etc. and heat loss is decreased by a remarkable extent.
  • lids are secured over an opening arranged on the door by being pivoted from one of their sides. They are opened by a handle grip or by pressing a push/release button situated on another side.
  • a lighting element is utilized on the handle grip or the push/release button in order to find their places in dark environment.
  • More than one illuminator or a big illuminator which continuously gives off light in all directions is required in order to illuminate both the exterior surface of the lid and also the shelf section when the lid is opened. This causes complications with regards to the layout and costs.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a cooling device having an illumination element which can be utilized multi purposely.
  • the cooling device of the present invention comprises a lid which covers the opening situated on the door.
  • the cooling device has an illumination element which illuminates the lid while the lid is closed and the opening when the lid is opened.
  • the light emitted by the illumination element is guided by a light guide situated on the lid one end of which extends to the illumination element and the other end to the exterior surface of the lid.
  • the light guide has an L shaped configuration.
  • the light guide delivers the light received from one arm to the exterior surface of the lid thus providing the lid to be seen.
  • a cavity situated on the side of the opening which extends towards the door and wherein an illumination element is disposed is provided.
  • the illumination element gives off light from the cavity towards the opening and provides the foodstuffs situated on the door shelf to be illuminated.
  • the cavity is covered by a transparent cover. Consequently, the illumination element is protected from external factors such as dust, dirt, etc., thus its light emitting effectiveness is prevented from decreasing.
  • the lid is surrounded by the light guide. Accordingly, when the lid is closed, the frame thereof is illuminated thus facilitating the noticing of the lid.
  • the handle grip of the lid is surrounded by the light guide. Consequently, when the lid is closed, the handle grip is illuminated by the light emitted from the illumination element and the user is enabled to reach the handle grip.
  • a lid opening button surrounded by light guide is situated on the door. Accordingly, the lid can be opened by noticing the button even in a dark environment and when the lid is opened another light is not required in the environment since the opening is illuminated.
  • the lid and/or the handle grip and/or the opening button is produced from light guiding material, and one of their ends is in contact with the light guide.
  • the light reaching to the light guide while the lid is closed provides all the surfaces to be illuminated.
  • the illumination element of the present invention By means of the illumination element of the present invention, while the lid is illuminated when the lid is required to be illuminated and the opening is illuminated when the opening is required to be illuminated. Consequently, savings in use of space is provided by using a single illumination element.

  • the direction of the light can be changed without requiring to move the illumination element (6). Consequently, the light of the illumination element (6) emitting light towards the opening (4) illuminates the opening (4) when the lid (5) is open and illuminates the exterior of the lid (5) by passing through the arms of the light guide (8) when the lid (5) is closed.
  • the light is enabled to reach the exterior surface of the lid (5) without dispersing to another environment thus without losing its intensity.
  • the interior of the light guide (8) is preferably coated with mirror.
  • the door (3) comprises a transparent cover (9) which covers the cavity (7).
  • the cover (9) allows the light to reach the opening (4) while protecting the illumination element (6) from the outside environment.
  • the cooling device (1) comprises a frame which surrounds the opening (4) and the illumination element (6) situated on the frame.
  • the lid (5) comprises a handle grip surrounded by the light guide (8). Consequently, the handle grip allows the user to reach the opening (4) while creating a visual difference.
  • the lid (5) comprises an opening button surrounded by the light guide (8). While access to the preferably push release type illuminated opening button becomes easier, the lid (5) is opened by actuating the opening button.
  • the lid (5) is surrounded by the light guide (8). Thus while the lid (5) is illuminated its boundaries are also highlighted.
  • the lid (5) comprises a handle grip produced from material with light guiding property, one end of which contacts the light guide (8).
