  • the advantages presented by the display refrigerators (10) and (110) described are the homogeneity of the cold distributed uniformly to all products (15) within the radial arrangement (20) and (120) respectively.
  • Another advantage of the present invention is that it allows a 360 ° display area compared to display refrigerators that only have an exhibition area equal to that of their front face.
  • Another advantage of the present invention is the versatility and use of space that allows the use of multiple trays accommodated in sectors and adjusted to the desired height.
  • the multi-tray radial array display refrigerator resembles a bunch of grapes where each product finds its place in a harmonious and natural arrangement.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un réfrigérateur vitrine avec système radial à plateaux multiples. Ledit réfrigérateur est formé par un système radial à partir duquel se détachent divers plateaux, suivant les besoins du commerçant. Les plateaux ont une forme de secteurs de cercle définis par deux rayons et l'arc formé entre les deux, et sont assujettis à un axe central sur lequel ils coulissent afin de modifier leur hauteur en fonction de la taille du produit à stocker sur ledit plateau. Ainsi, on profite au maximum du volume intérieur du meuble, chaque plateau restant à un niveau différent suivant le produit à exposer sur ledit plateau. En outre, le système radial est relié à un mécanisme rotatif, ce qui entraîne un refroidissement homogène de tous les produits qui sont exposés dans le réfrigérateur. D'un point de vue ergonomique, le réfrigérateur offre un grand avantage compétitif étant donné que sa conception extérieure permet d'occuper un espace physique moindre avec une exposition supérieure.
