说明书全文 | The present invention is directed towards a lock generally for refrigerators, the lock being a blocking device generally to prevent the refrigerator from being opened by unauthorized persons. Presently, refrigerators are used in a number of locations and for varying purposes. For example, refrigerators are used in hotels, restaurants, laboratories and personal homes. Refrigerators may store food stuff and medicines that should not be accessed or consumed by all individuals. Presently refrigerators are not provided with a system to prevent the refrigerator from being opened by any person. Therefore, there is a need for a refrigerator provided with a locking device object of the present invention. In particular, the present invention discloses a refrigerator provided with a blocking device on the door thereof to prevent unauthorized persons from opening the refrigerator and accessing or using the products contained therein. FIG. 1—a front view of the new structural arrangement in a refrigerator provided with a blocking device having a coding system; FIG. 2—a partial perspective view of the refrigerator provided with a blocking device having a coding system; FIG. 3—a perspective view of the refrigerator provided with a blocking device having a coding system in the open position; FIG. 4—a front view of a first embodiment of the refrigerator provided with a blocking device having a card system; FIG. 5—a partial perspective view of the refrigerator provided with a blocking device having a card system; FIG. 6—a perspective view of the refrigerator provided with a blocking device having a card system in the open position; FIG. 7—a front view of a second embodiment of the refrigerator provided with a blocking device having a voice operated system; FIG. 8—a partial perspective view of the refrigerator provided with a blocking device having a voice operated system; FIG. 9—a perspective view of the refrigerator provided with a blocking device having a voice operated system in the open position; FIG. 10—a front view of a third embodiment of the refrigerator provided with a blocking device having a digital finger print scanning system; FIG. 11—a partial perspective view of the refrigerator provided with a blocking device having a digital finger print scanning system; FIG. 12—a perspective view of the refrigerator provided with a blocking device having a digital finger print scanning system in the open position; FIG. 13—a front view of a fourth embodiment of the refrigerator provided with a blocking device having a shuttering system; FIG. 14—a partial perspective view of the refrigerator provided with a blocking device having a shuttering system; FIG. 15—a perspective view of the refrigerator provided with a blocking device having a shuttering device in the open position; FIG. 16—a front view of a fifth embodiment of the refrigerator provided with a blocking device having a switching system; FIG. 17—a partial perspective view of the refrigerator provided with a blocking device having a switching system; FIG. 18—a perspective view of the refrigerator provided with a blocking device having a switching system in the open position; FIG. 19—a front view of a sixth embodiment of the refrigerator provided with a blocking device having a remote control system; FIG. 20—a partial perspective view of the refrigerator provided with a blocking device having a remote control system; FIG. 21—a perspective view of the refrigerator provided with a blocking device having a remote control system in the open position; FIG. 22—a front view of a seventh variant of the refrigerator provided with a blocking device having a locking system; FIG. 23—a partial perspective view of the refrigerator provided with a blocking device having a locking system; FIG. 24—a front view of an eighth variant of the refrigerator provided with a blocking device having a hand recognizing digital system; FIG. 25—a partial perspective view of the refrigerator provided with a blocking device having a hand recognizing digital system; FIG. 26—a perspective view of the blocking device having a hand recognizing digital system on the blocking device in the open position. Turning to Blocking device (3) may be composed of two separable bodies, front component (4) and side component (5). Front component (4) may be disposed on the front of door (2). Body (5) may be positioned on the side of said refrigerator (1). Body (4) may include a locking member (6) that may actuate a pin (7). Body (5) may include a hole (8) adapted to receive pin (7). Refrigerator provided with blocking device (3) may be locked by the actuating system (6) pushing pin (7) into the hole (8). In order to unlock the door, actuating (6) may remove pin (7) from hole (8). In the embodiment shown in Optionally, in a second embodiment, illustrated in Optionally, in another embodiment, illustrated in Optionally, in a third embodiment, illustrated in Optionally, in a fourth embodiment, illustrated in Optionally, in a sixth embodiment, illustrated in Optionally, in a seventh embodiment, illustrated in Optionally, in an eighth embodiment, illustrated in Optionally, in a ninth embodiment illustrated in Alternatively, as illustrated in The refrigerator provided with the blocking device thus provides the benefit of preventing access to the refrigerator by unauthorized persons. Thus blocking device assures increased safety and privacy by preventing undue use and privacy. While different embodiments and examples the present invention has been described above and illustrated in the figures, the scope of the claims should not be limited to the preferred embodiments set forth in the examples, but should be given the broadest interpretation consistent with the description as a whole. |
