Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1684039A2] Refrigerated cabinet comprising a compartment (2) for the storage of products to be preserved, a door (3) hinged on to the cabinet and adapted to move into contact with a frame (4) of said cabinet to close in an air-tight manner the storage compartment (2), retaining means adapted to hold the door (3) in the closed position thereof, and at least an apparatus (5) to keep the door (3) ajar so as to facilitate aeration of the storage compartment (2) during the periods in which the refrigerator is not in use. The apparatus (5) comprises an arm (6) that is coupled in a movable manner to an accommodating structure (7), which is adapted to support the arm (6) in an operative position and in a non-operative position thereof, said structure (7) being associated to said door (3) or said frame (4), and said arm (6) being capable of being selectively guided into said operative position and said non-operative position thereof; in said operative position thereof, said arm (6) protrudes from said door (3), or said frame (4), so as to abut against said door (3) or said frame (4) of the storage compartment (2), thereby preventing the door (3) from coming into contact with the abutting frame so as to keep the door (3) ajar; in the non-operative state thereof, said arm (6) is on the contrary fully contained within said accommodating structure (7), thereby enabling the door (3) to fully move into closing the storage compartment in an air-tight manner.
