Abstract: A chest, which can comprise a refrigerated chest such as a freezer for example, includes an opening at the top of the chest through which access can be had to a chest interior. The opening is arranged substantially horizontally when the chest is maintained in its normal operational state. One or more doors mounted to the chest at the opening at the top of the chest are selectively movable between a position closing off the entire opening at the top of the chest and a position opening up the opening, including a horizontal position, thereby providing access to the refrigerated chest interior through the opening. The one or more doors can comprise two equal-sized doors. A respective door support can be provided outside the chest interior for each of the one or more doors at which a door of the one or more doors is supported in a horizontal position.
