Abstract

A temperature-controlled enclosure for displaying cold items. The enclosure reduces heat transfer and condensation without requiring electrical heating, thereby helping prevent formation of condensation or frost on door sealing surfaces and frames. The enclosure includes a body with a front opening, a frame assembly, and doors with window panels, a housing assembly, and a gasket. A ridge is on the housing assembly's rear surface between die gasket and the interior space of the enclosure, along the top or bottom edge of the door. This ridge forms a labyrinthine air passage when the door is closed, inhibiting heat transfer between the ambient air and the enclosure's interior. The passage includes a first segment between the ridge's distal surface and the frame assembly's front surface, and a second segment between the ridge's outer surface and the gasket's inner surface.

Abstract

The invention features a refrigerator cabinet door frame. The frame includes a thermally conductive outer frame, a thermally insulating inner frame member, and a sealing plate. The outer frame member includes a forward end having an outer surface that is disposed outside of a refrigerated cabinet with the frame mounted, and a rearward end defining a joint. The inner frame member includes a first end retained in the joint, and a second end. The sealing plate includes a first edge coupled to the outer frame member at the rearward end, forward of the joint, a second edge supported by the second end of the inner frame member, and a thermally conductive sealing surface. The first edge of the sealing plate is coupled to the outer frame member such that the sealing surface and the outer surface of the outer frame member together form a continuous heat transfer path.

The first end is pivotably coupled to the frame by the first fastener. The first end includes a first pair of spring arms having a first slot to couple to the first fastener and to allow the door to pivot between open and closed positions. The second end is slideably coupled to the door by the second fastener. The second end has detents on a second pair of spring arms and a second slot to allow the second fastener of the door to slide as the door is pivoted between open and closed positions. A first detent is positioned further from the first end of the bracket than a second detent.

Abstract

A display case door includes a panel assembly with a first transparent pane and a second transparent pane. The first transparent pane includes flanges extending from each of a first edge and a second edge of a shaped portion. The second transparent pane is adhered to both flanges of the first pane to define a space between facing surfaces of the second transparent pane and the shaped portion of the first transparent pane and extending between openings at opposite ends of the panel assembly. Caps are coupled to the panel assembly and cover the openings at each of the first end and second end. The door further includes a hinge coupled to one of the flanges, a door handle secured to a surface of one of the flanges, and an edge guard coupled along an edge of at least one of the flanges.

Abstract

One aspect of the invention features a refrigerated display case door that includes a hinge rail, a panel assembly, and a handle. The hinge rail includes a channel portion and a hinge receiving portion. The panel assembly includes two panes of glass bounding a sealed space between the panes, and includes a first edge disposed within the channel portion of the hinge rail. The handle is secured to a surface of the panel assembly proximate a second edge of the panel assembly opposite the first edge. The sealed space is closed by a peripheral seal disposed between the panes along a periphery of the panes. The peripheral seal includes a first material extending along a first portion of the periphery and a second material extending along a second, different portion of the periphery, where the second material is more transparent to visible light than the first material.

Abstract

A controller for trimming power used by a heated glass temperature-controlled storage device comprising a frame and a door, the door comprising a door rail and a glass pane, wherein the glass pane includes a glass heater circuit, the controller comprising a variable impedance; a first impedance; a low pass filter; a diode for alternating current (DIAC); and a triode for alternating current (TRIAC), wherein the controller is configured to adjust voltage from the AC power input to a first voltage; filter the first voltage; generate a gate current when the DIAC is on; generate a glass current when the TRIAC is on; and provide the glass current to the glass heater circuit when the TRIAC is on, wherein the variable impedance is adjusted so power used by the glass heater circuit is below a first predetermined value.

Abstract

A sliding door assembly for a refrigerated display case is provided. The sliding door assembly includes a door frame having a top frame segment and a plurality of sliding bearings that slide along channels within the top frame segment. A plurality of display case doors are coupled to the sliding bearings and configured to slide, along with the sliding bearings, between an open position and a closed position. The display case doors may be suspended from the sliding bearings. The sliding door assembly may include an automatic closure system coupled to the display case doors and configured to apply a closing force that automatically returns the display case doors to the closed position. One or more magnets may apply a magnetic damping force as the display case doors approach the closed position to facilitate a soft closure of the display case doors.

Abstract

A display system for a product storage device includes a transparent unit having a front panel, a rear panel, and a transparent LCD panel positioned between the front panel and the rear panel. The transparent LCD panel is configured to present visual media content. A lighting element is attached to the transparent unit and configured to provide lighting for both the transparent LCD panel and for products within the product storage device. The lighting element emits light in a direction away from the transparent LCD panel and toward the products within the product storage device. A light guide selectively reflects the light emitted from the lighting element back toward the transparent LCD panel and through the transparent LCD panel to provide backlighting for the transparent LCD panel.

Abstract

A pivoting mullion for a temperature-controlled storage device is provided. The pivoting mullion includes a mullion body pivotally attached to a display case door of the temperature-controlled storage device. The mullion body is rotatable relative to the display case door between a first position when the display case door is open and a second position when the display case door is closed. The mullion body is configured to provide a support surface against which the display case door rests when the mullion body is in the second position and the display case door is closed. The pivoting mullion further includes a lighting element fixed to the mullion body and configured to activate when the display case door is closed. Activation of the lighting element illuminates items within the temperature-controlled storage device such that the items are visible through the display case door when the display case door is closed.

Abstract

Electronic control systems and methods for adjusting power to one or more heaters to prevent condensation from forming on one or more door windows of one or more refrigeration units are provided. The control systems can adjust the amount of heat applied to the one or more door windows based on the ambient temperature outside the one or more refrigeration units, the ambient humidity outside the one or more refrigeration units, a target refrigeration temperature for the one or more refrigeration units, temperature of the one or more door windows, and/or a property of the one or more heaters, such as the maximum heating capacity of the one or more heaters.
