Door for display units, in particular for refrigerators

Abstract

This invention proposes a door for display units, such as refrigerators or the like, of the kind used in points of sale, consisting of a double-glazing unit made of transparent material and a series of luminous elements, in particular LEDs, suitable to lighten the inner part of the refrigerator on which the door is fitted, in such a way as to enable the user to easily view the displayed products. In particular, the said supporting structure of the double-glazing unit is made of a sectional shape having at least a part made of transparent material, and the said lighting means consist of a plurality of LEDs placed between the said double-glazing unit and the said transparent side wall of the section. This inventive idea turns out to be easier and more economical than the prior art inventive ideas which provide for the use of LEDs still fitted in the double-glazing unit, with noticeable advantages resulting, beside from lower production costs, also from an easier maintenance.

1 : Door provided with transparent door in particular a double-glazing unit, for displays, refrigerators and the like, characterised in that it comprises means for lighting the inside of the display or refrigerator unit, placed in the supporting structure of the said double-glazing unit.  
   
   
       2 : Door according to the  claim 1 , characterised in that the said supporting structure of the double-glazing unit consists of a sectional shape having at least a part made of transparent material, and the said lighting means consist of a plurality of LEDs placed between the said double-glazing unit and the said transparent part of the section.  
   
   
       3 : Door according to the  claim 2 , characterised in that the structure is made of two joined together sectional shapes, of which at least one which, when the door is closed is in the inside part of the display unit, is made of transparent material.  
   
   
       4 : Door according  claim 3 , characterised in that the LEDs are fitted on a support placed between the said side wall made of transparent material and the sectional shape which constitutes the supporting structure of the said transparent side wall.  
   
   
       5 : Door according to the  claim 4 , characterised in that the said LEDs support is fitted to the sectional shape.  
   
   
       6 : Door according to the  claim 4 , characterised in that the said LEDs support is fitted to the side wall made of transparent material.  
   
   
       7 : Door according to  claim 1 , characterised in that the said LEDs are fitted on a removable support.  
   
   
       8 : Display unit, in particular a refrigerator, characterised in that it is provided with a door according to  claim 1.
