Problems solved by technology

Of course, it is possible to manufacture this, too, in non-standard sizes, to design elements broken in some angle or corner elements, but the relevant manufacturing costs often exceed the production cost of refrigerating furniture pieces manufactured in standard sizes.

Embodiment Construction

[0027]FIG. 1 shows the frame structure and space-delimiting elements of a well-known, extensively manufactured and distributed non-refrigerated cabinet type. The frame structure consists of two column elements 1 whose Vertical size essentially determines the height of the cabinet, with two horizontal foot elements 2 attached to the lower end of the column elements 1. The length of the horizontal foot elements 2 determines the depth of the cabinet to be made, that is, the depth of the shelves on the cabinet. Legs 3 are fitted to the ends of each column element 1 and foot element 2. The legs 3 are optionally designed as screwed paw to regulate height, or one designed as a wheel or fitted with a wheel to allow to move of the cabinet. Column elements are usually made of a hollow, preferably rectangular section or a U-shaped bar, provided with openings in one row or in two rows into which other parts constituting the cabinet can be fixed by hanging in order to allow a modular arrangement...

Abstract

A cabinet for the storage of goods requiring refrigeration, includes a modular frame structure, space-delimiting elements and shelves (6) bearing the goods, and equipped with a caloric heat exchanger (8) generating an air flow of a temperature selected to suit the goods, and an air channel system (17) communicating with it. Thus a refrigerated cabinet of any size and design can be transformed from an existing cabinet or a mass-manufactured cabinet product range, without altering the module structure of the non-refrigerated cabinet, incorporating all advantageous characteristics of a modular assembly option. The transformation implies no permanent change in structural design, basic parameters or external dimensions of the original cabinet, so it can be transformed back into a non-refrigerated cabinet at any time, by replacing certain elements and the installation and fitting of further units.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The invention relates to a cabinet for the storage of goods requiring refrigeration, consisting of a modular frame structure, space-delimiting elements and shelves bearing the goods. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Cabinet systems used in food trade for presentation of the goods in the sales area are either non-refrigerated or refrigerated cabinet systems depending on the goods ever. Non-refrigerated cabinets, made usually of galvanized sintered steel plates, are typically structured in a modular way, that is, thanks to their structural design, they can be assembled on the spot, out of “elements” of a smaller size, in function of the demands ever of the user and the possibilities offered by the premises. [0003] In case of modular cabinets, users can assert their claims regarding the length and height of the cabinet, the size and design, loading capacity and fittings of the base shelf and the middle shelves, which can be assembled, upon demand, either...
