REFRIGERATOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18746985 titled 'REFRIGERATOR
The abstract describes a refrigerator with a storage compartment and a lamp receiving portion that includes a reflective surface to reflect light emitted from the lamp towards the storage compartment side.
- The refrigerator includes an inner case forming a storage compartment and a lamp receiving portion with a receiving space.
- An outer case is coupled to the inner case, and a lamp with a light source is arrangeable in the receiving space.
- A cover is coupleable to the inner case to cover the receiving space.
- The lamp receiving portion has a reflective surface to reflect light towards the storage compartment side.
- The innovation improves lighting efficiency within the refrigerator and enhances visibility of stored items.
Potential Applications: - Household refrigerators - Commercial refrigeration units
Problems Solved: - Improved lighting within the refrigerator - Enhanced visibility of stored items
Benefits: - Better illumination of the storage compartment - Increased energy efficiency - Improved user experience
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Lighting System for Refrigerators This technology can be applied in household refrigerators, commercial refrigeration units, and other cooling appliances to improve lighting efficiency and user experience. The innovation can lead to increased energy savings and better visibility of stored items, making it a valuable feature for consumers.
Questions about Enhanced Lighting System for Refrigerators:
1. How does the reflective surface in the lamp receiving portion improve lighting efficiency? The reflective surface helps to direct and amplify the light emitted from the lamp towards the storage compartment side, enhancing visibility and reducing energy consumption.
2. What are the potential market implications of implementing this enhanced lighting system in refrigerators? By improving lighting efficiency and user experience, refrigerators equipped with this technology may attract more consumers looking for energy-efficient appliances with enhanced features.
Original Abstract Submitted
A refrigerator including an inner case forming a storage compartment and including a lamp receiving portion having a receiving space recessed, an outer case coupled to an outer side of the inner case, a lamp, arrangeable in the receiving space of the inner case, and including a light source that emits light, and a cover coupleable to the inner case so as to cover the receiving space. The lamp receiving portion includes a reflective surface at a position facing the light source to reflect light emitted from the light source of the lamp, which is arranged in the receiving space, toward the storage compartment side.
