  • 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°.

  • Patent number: 11033130
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a method of connecting an item of dishware (1) to a contactlessly readable electronic information carrier (2) comprising the steps: providing the item of dishware (1), wherein the item of dishware (1) comprises a material selected from a group consisting of glass, ceramic and plastic or a combination thereof, and attaching the information carrier to the item of dishware. Contactlessly readable electronic information carriers applied to a self-adhesive carrier film are known. They can also be adhesively bonded to an item of dishware for identification thereof. In comparison according to the invention the above-mentioned method is further developed in that it further includes the steps: applying a cover layer of printing ink in such a way that the cover layer at least portion-wise covers a surface of the information carrier and the cover layer extends over a portion, which is not covered by the information carrier, on the surface of the item of dishware.

  • 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.
