Patent Application for Refrigerator with Removable Display

Strategic Insights -

A group of inventors from South Korea, Jong Sun Park, Byoung Jae Cho, and Hyo Sik Kang, have filed a patent application for a refrigerator design featuring a removable display unit. The application, titled "Refrigerator with Removable Display," was made available online on March 5, 2015. The inventors have proposed a design that allows the display unit to be easily separated from the door without causing damage to the front side of the door.

According to the inventors, the existing display units in refrigerators are often separated from the door using additional components or by damaging the front side of the door. The proposed design aims to eliminate this inconvenience by providing a solidly mounted display unit that can be easily disassembled from the door. The display unit includes a first portion inserted into the inner side of the front side of the door and a second portion that protrudes towards the front of the door.

The proposed design includes several key features, such as a display case that is formed concave from the front side to the inner side of the door, and a rotation support portion that supports the rotation of the display unit. The display unit also includes at least one coupling protrusion that allows it to be combined with the display case. Additionally, the display unit may include insertion prevention and separation prevention protrusions to prevent the display unit from being inserted or separated from the door in an improper manner.
