  • Publication number: 20220136759
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a door for a freezer or refrigerator cabinet, including an insulating glass unit with at least two panes, which are joined by means of spacers for the creation of a gas-filled intervening space. The panes each have a transparent region and all spacers are designed to be free of desiccant, and a desiccant reservoir, which is in fluidic connection with the intervening space between the at least two panes.

  • Publication number: 20220053949
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a swing door system for use with a freezer device, including two adjacent swing doors and at least one mullion in contact with the swing doors. Each swing door includes a transparent pane and a non-transparent area, with each non-transparent area proximal to the mullion when the swing doors are in a closed position. The non-transparent areas and the mullion define a non-transparent region. In a plurality of horizontal see-through angles, a view through the transparent panes is not totally blocked by the non-transparent region. The horizontal see-through angle is measured with respect to the plane in which the swing doors are arranged when the swing doors are in the closed position. When a width of at least one of the swing doors is in the range of 500 mm to 780 mm, the plurality of horizontal see-through angles ranges from 6° to 174°, preferably 5° to 175°, and more preferably 4° to 176°.

  • Publication number: 20200352355
    Abstract: A swing door system for use with a freezer device is provided. The system includes two adjacent swing doors and a mullion in contact with the swing doors. Each swing door has a transparent pane and a non-transparent area. The non-transparent area is proximal to the mullion when the swing doors are in a closed position. The non-transparent areas and the mullion define a non-transparent region. The system has, under a horizontal viewing angle between 0° and 180° with respect to the plane in which the swing doors are arranged when the swing doors are in the closed position, all of the horizontal diameters of the non-transparent region are less than 100 mm.

  • Patent number: 10238219
    Abstract: A refrigeration cabinet, in particular a commercial refrigerator or freezer, is provided. The refrigeration cabinet has a housing, which has a front access opening, a door, which has at least one door leaf, for the access opening, and a guide. The door leaf has a height and a width and is mounted such that it can be rotated about a vertical rotation axis and can be displaced transverse to the rotation axis. The guide defines a movement of the door leaf between a closed position and an open position in such a way that the pivot region of the door leaf projects less than a full door-leaf width into the exterior in front of the access opening, and that the door leaf is mounted such that it can be rotated about a vertical axis and can be displaced transverse to the rotation axis.
