REFRIGERATOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18583596 titled 'REFRIGERATOR

The patent application describes a refrigerator with a unique door design that includes a see-through portion and a transparent panel assembly that can become transparent or opaque based on the On/Off states of the door light.

  • The refrigerator has a cabinet forming a storage space and a door for opening and closing the storage space.
  • The door is equipped with a receiving space and a see-through portion that communicates with the receiving space.
  • A door light illuminates the rear space of the door, enhancing visibility.
  • The transparent panel assembly shields the see-through portion and can switch between transparent and opaque states.
  • A heat insulating member insulates the perimeter portion of the transparent panel assembly, improving energy efficiency.

Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied to various types of refrigerators and freezers. - It can also be used in commercial refrigeration units in supermarkets and restaurants.

Problems Solved: - Enhances visibility inside the refrigerator without compromising insulation. - Provides a modern and innovative design for refrigeration appliances.

Benefits: - Improved visibility of stored items. - Energy-efficient design with heat insulation. - Modern and sleek appearance.

Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Door Design for Refrigerators This technology can be utilized in household refrigerators, commercial refrigeration units, and other cooling appliances. The modern design and energy-efficient features make it attractive to consumers looking for advanced refrigeration solutions.

Prior Art: Further research can be conducted in the field of refrigerator door designs and technologies to identify any similar inventions or prior art related to this innovative transparent panel assembly.

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in refrigerator technology, energy-efficient appliances, and smart home integration to explore potential enhancements and applications of this innovative door design.
