Cooling and/or freezing device

Abstract

The present invention relates to a cooling and/or freezing device having a body and a cooled inner space located therein and having two doors which open and close in opposite directions, wherein the doors each comprise a front-end side which, in the closed state of the doors, are facing one another and are arranged adjacent to one another, wherein a sealing element is arranged on at least one of the front-end sides, which sealing element comprises a movable door seal, wherein the sealing element comprises a movable force-deflecting element connected to the door seal, wherein the force-deflecting element has a contact area on which the body exerts a force when the door is being closed, and wherein the force-deflecting element is arranged in such a way that, when this force is exerted on the contact area, it moves the door seal towards the front-end side of the other door and/or towards the body.

         9 . Cooling and/or freezing device according to  claim 8 , wherein the door has an upper side and a lower side, one force-deflecting element is arranged in the region of the upper side, and one force-deflecting element is arranged in the region of the lower side. 
     
     
         10 . Cooling and/or freezing device according to  claim 1 , wherein the force-deflecting element is arranged in the sealing element in a manner to be rotatable and/or displaceable. 
     
     
         11 . Cooling and/or freezing device according to  claim 2 , wherein both doors comprise a sealing element and/or a return element is provided which is in contact with the door seal and exerts a force on the door seal which is directed in the opposite direction to the direction of movement caused by the force-deflecting element. 
     
     
         12 . Cooling and/or freezing device according to  claim 11 , wherein the force-deflecting element is arranged in such a way that it moves the door seal in two spatial directions. 
     
     
         13 . Cooling and/or freezing device according to  claim 3 , wherein the force-deflecting element is arranged in such a way that it moves the door seal in two spatial directions. 
     
     
         14 . Cooling and/or freezing device according to  claim 2 , wherein the force-deflecting element is arranged in such a way that it moves the door seal in two spatial directions. 
     
     
         15 . Cooling and/or freezing device according to  claim 14 , wherein the sealing element comprises a front-end-side door seal and a housing-side door seal, and the housing-side door seal is located between door and body when the doors are closed. 
     
     
         16 . Cooling and/or freezing device according to  claim 13 , wherein the sealing element comprises a front-end-side door seal and a housing-side door seal, and the housing-side door seal is located between door and body when the doors are closed.
