US 2014/0109607 A1 · COVERS FOR REFRIGERATION SYSTEMS

Abstract

This disclosure relates to covers for use with refrigeration units. The covers may include rails that extend across a top opening of the refrigeration unit. One or more lids may be supported by support surfaces on the rails. The lids may be movable (e.g., slidable) between closed and open positions. The lids may include lid plates and feet configured to raise lid plates off of the support surfaces, thereby forming gaps between the lid plates and the support surfaces. The lids may include filling elements to fill at least a portion of the gaps between the lid plates and the support surfaces. In some embodiments, the feet may have a generally Z-shaped configuration. In some embodiments, the cover may include multiple frame elements having transparent spacers at the ends of the frame elements, and the cover may include end pieces at the ends of the cover.

Dependent claims

A cover for use with a refrigeration unit, the cover comprising:

a plurality of rails configured to extend across a top opening of the refrigeration unit, the plurality of rails including one or more support surfaces;
a lid configured to slidably engage the support surfaces such that the lid is slidable between a closed position and an open position, the lid comprising:
a lid plate having a top surface and a bottom surface;
a plurality of feet coupled to the lid plate, such that a gap is positioned between the bottom surface of the lid plate the support surface;
a filling element positioned between the feet such that the filling element fills at least a portion of the gap, thereby restricting air flow through the gap.
