Description
- The present application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/041,232 filed Mar. 31, 2009, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- This invention relates to interior lighting for refrigerator units such as merchandisers having cabinets with glass doors, and particularly to a mounting structure for LED lights that conceal the lights on the inside of a refrigerator door.
- Lighting is necessary within refrigerator units and particularly free standing merchandisers of the type under consideration. Such lighting is usually provided by means of elongate fluorescent tubes and has been provided in the upper portion of the cabinet or upon the doors. This arrangement illuminates the upper shelving well but is not entirely satisfactory for illuminating the lower shelving. Lighting can also be provided at the rear or the sides of the cabinet. However, this arrangement tends to be unsightly because the lighting assembly is visible from the outside of the unit through the glass doors. In refrigerators such as glass door merchandisers, unlike typical refrigeration units, the light stays on while the door is closed and provides illumination upon the contents of the refrigerator.
- Additionally, the assignee of the present invention owns U.S. Pat. No. 5,699,676 which is directed to an invention for mounting a fluorescent tube light on a refrigerator door. However, fluorescent lighting is not as efficient as LED lighting and also has difficulty in extremely cold environments, such as coolers that must keep items such as ice cream very cold. Moreover, fluorescent lights have a limited lifespan and incorporate ballasts that similarly have a limited lifespan.
- A difficulty with LED lighting is providing a system whereby it can be used in a refrigerator structure. First of all, LED lights are much smaller than typical fluorescent tubes and therefore must shine with a greater intensity in order to provide the same amount of light. As a result, when a user opens the door of a refrigeration unit the user is blinded by the intense light put forth by the LED lights when LED lights are mounted as with prior art lights.
- Therefore, there is a need in the art to mount LED lights within a glass door merchandiser or refrigerator in a manner that is not unsightly and does not shine directly into the eyes of the user of the merchandiser or refrigerator and thereby annoying the user.
- The present invention provides a refrigerator unit with a lighted door including a cabinet including a top, bottom and opposed sides defining a front opening. The refrigerator further includes a door including a door frame mounted to the cabinet, said door frame having an inside and outside and including a top framing member, a bottom framing member, opposed side framing members and a glass panel having an exterior and an interior. Finally, provided is a lighting assembly attached to at least one of the top framing member, a bottom framing member and opposed side framing members. The lighting assembly includes a channel for maintaining a plurality of LEDs. The channel is disposed at an angle to direct light from the LEDs either parallel to the glass panel or at an oblique angle thereto. The system may reduce the intensity of the light when the door is opened.
