Showcase with two step complex opening
A showcase for preservation and display of objects is described. The showcase has a fixed casing and at least one openable panel made of glass mounted on the fixed casing through opening supports, which have a pair of upper rods and a pair of lower rods, all having the same length as each other, pivoted to the fixed casing at respective first upper and lower rod pins, and an intermediate structure, pivoted to the upper and lower rods at respective second upper and lower rod pins. A hinging system is provided along the main direction, between the openable panel and the intermediate structure, so as to allow the openable panel to rotate with respect to the intermediate structure. The opening is divided substantially into two steps, with a first roto-translational movement of the intermediate structure and with it of the openable panel with respect to the case, and a second step, in which the hinging system is used to allow the openable panel to rotate with respect to the intermediate structure, until a completely open position is reached.
Systems and Methods for a Refrigeration Device Having a Lid Assembly
A refrigeration device can include a storage portion including a wall that facilitates thermal insulation of a compartment that is configured to store items at a temperature that is below ambient air temperature and a lid assembly that includes a first panel, a second panel, a handle, a hinge, and a track. The compartment may define an open top area that is bordered by a top surface of the storage portion. The lid assembly may be movably coupled to the refrigeration device at the top surface. The second panel can be configured to slide along the track to at least partially cover or uncover the portion of the open top area and may be configured to tilt relative to the first panel.
Systems and Methods for a Refrigeration Device Having a Lid Assembly
A refrigeration device capable of chilling beverage ingredients and accessories is disclosed. The refrigeration device may include a first compartment that defines a first open top area, a second compartment that defines a second open top area, and a wall disposed between the first and second compartments. The refrigeration device may further include a controller configured to control the temperature in at least one of the first and second compartments, a temperature regulator configured to adjust a thermal communication between the first and second compartments, and a lid assembly movable between an opened and a closed position.
