Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Türabsteller für ein Kühl- und/oder Gefriergerät mit wenigstens einem verschieblich angeordneten Halteteil zur Fixierung wenigstens eines auf dem Türabsteller befindlichen Gegenstandes.The present invention relates to a door racks for a refrigerator and / or freezer with at least one slidably arranged holding part for fixing at least one article located on the door racks.

Ein derartiges Halteteil eines Türabstellers dient dazu, um unerwünschte Verschiebungen von Kühlgut, das sich auf dem Türabsteller befindet, beim Öffnen und Schließen der Tür (Fliehkräfte) möglichst zu verhindern bzw. zu begrenzen. Aus dem Stand der Technik sind bereits Türabsteller mit verschieblich angeordneten Halteteilen bekannt. Bei diesen bekannten Türabstellern wird das Halteteil auf eine Zierleiste oder auf den Kunststoffabsteller selbst aufgeclipst. Dieses Aufclipsen hat den Nachteil, dass das Halteteil eine vergleichsweise große Verformung erfährt. Dies kann insbesondere deshalb problematisch sein, da die Schnapphaken des Halteteils angeformt und entsprechend dünn ausgeführt sind, um überhaupt eine Verformung zu gewährleisten. Bei unsachgemäßer Handhabung kann dies jedoch zum Bruch des Schnapphakens und damit zur Unbrauchbarkeit des Halteteils führen. Dies gilt insbesondere dann, wenn das eingesetzte Material vergleichsweise spröde ist, wie dies beispielsweise für PS gilt. Bei ihrer Verwendung und der Verschiebung werden die Schnapphaken erneut belastet. Mit zunehmender Alterung kann dies eventuell zum Bruch der Schnapphaken führen.Such a holding part of a door compartment serves to prevent or limit unwanted shifts of refrigerated goods, which is located on the door racks, when opening and closing the door (centrifugal forces) as possible. Door racks with slidably arranged holding parts are already known from the prior art. In these known door cabinets, the holding part is clipped onto a decorative strip or on the plastic stand itself. This clipping has the disadvantage that the holding part undergoes a comparatively large deformation. This can be particularly problematic because the snap hooks of the holding part are formed and made correspondingly thin, to ensure any deformation. Improper handling, however, this can lead to breakage of the snap hook and thus the usability of the holding part. This is especially true when the material used comparatively is brittle, as it is for example for PS. In their use and the shift, the snap hooks are charged again. With increasing aging, this may eventually lead to breakage of the snap hooks.

Grundsätzlich ist es möglich, verschieden Materialien zu kombinieren, beispielsweise durchsichtige Materialien für ein oder mehrere Bestandteile des Türabstellers mit nicht durchsichtigen Materialien für andere Bauteile des Türabstellers zu kombinieren.In principle, it is possible to combine different materials, for example to combine transparent materials for one or more components of the door compartment with non-transparent materials for other components of the door compartment.

So ist es beispielsweise denkbar, das Halteteil durchsichtig und den eigentlichen Türabsteller (ohne Halteteil) oder dessen Teile, wie beispielsweise die Bodenplatte und/oder eine frontseitige Wandung und/oder Seitenteile aus undurchsichtigem Material auszuführen. Auch der umgekehrte Fall ist denkbar, das heißt das Halteteil aus undurchsichtigem Material und den eigentlichen Türabsteller bzw. dessen genannten Teile (Bodenplatte und/oder frontseitige Abdeckung und/oder Seitenteile) aus durchsichtigem Material auszuführen.So it is conceivable, for example, the holding part transparent and the actual door racks (without holding part) or its parts, such as the bottom plate and / or a front wall and / or side parts made of opaque material. The reverse case is conceivable, that is, the holding part of opaque material and the actual door racks or its parts mentioned (bottom plate and / or front cover and / or side panels) made of transparent material.

Der Begriff "durchsichtig" umfasst jede Art von Transparenz oder Transluzenz. Dementsprechend umfasst der Begriff "undurchsichtig" Materialien, die diese Eigenschaften nicht aufweisen.The term "translucent" encompasses any type of transparency or translucency. Accordingly, the term "opaque" includes materials that do not have these properties.

Vorzugsweise ist dieses Kühl- und/oder Gefriergerät derart ausgestaltet, dass es wenigstens einen gemäß einem der Ansprüche 1 bis 10 aufweist, der an der Innentür einhängbar ist.

In Figur 1 ist ein Türabsteller 10 gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung dargestellt.In FIG. 1 a door rack 10 according to the present invention is shown.

Der Türabsteller weist ein erstes Seitenteil 12 und ein zweites Seitenteil 14 auf, zwischen denen sich eine frontseitige Wandung 16 erstreckt. Die Seitenteile 12, 14 sowie die Wandung 16 umgeben den Abstellbereich des Türabstellers 10 U-förmig. An den Seitenteilen 12, 14 ist auf deren Oberseite ein Bügel 20 angeordnet, der wie auch die fronseitige Wandung 16 dazu dient, das auf dem Türabsteller 10 befindliche Kühlgut gegen Herausfallen zu sichern.The door rack has a first side part 12 and a second side part 14, between which a front wall 16 extends. The side parts 12, 14 and the wall 16 surround the storage area of the door compartment 10 U-shaped. On the side parts 12, 14, a bracket 20 is arranged on the upper side, which like also the fronseitige wall 16 serves to secure the refrigerated goods located on the door racks 10 against falling out.

Die Seitenteile 12, 14 und 16 können einteilig ausgeführt sein oder auch aus mehreren Teilen bestehen. Vorzugsweise bestehen sie aus Kunststoff.The side parts 12, 14 and 16 may be made in one piece or consist of several parts. Preferably, they are made of plastic.

Wie dies aus Figur 2 hervorgeht, wird die Bodenplatte 30 des Abstellers, die beispielsweise als Glasplatte ausgeführt sein kann aber auch aus anderen Materialien wie beispielsweise Kunststoff, in eine frontseitige Nut 17 der vorderen Wandung 16 eingesteckt. Eine solche Verbindung zwischen dem Boden 30 kann auch zu den Seitenteilen 12, 14 möglich sein, das heißt der Boden bzw. die Glasplatte 30 kann sowohl mit den Seitenteilen 12, 14 als auch mit der frontseitigen Wandung 16 durch eine Steckverbindung verbunden sein.Like this FIG. 2 shows, the bottom plate 30 of the Abstellers, which may for example be designed as a glass plate but also made of other materials such as plastic, inserted into a front groove 17 of the front wall 16. Such a connection between the floor 30 may also be possible to the side parts 12, 14, that is, the bottom or the glass plate 30 may be connected to both the side parts 12, 14 and with the front wall 16 by a plug connection.

Mit dem Bezugszeichen 40 in Figur 1 ist ein in seitlicher Richtung verschiebliches Halteteil gekennzeichnet. Dieses Halteteil kann aus Kunststoff oder auch aus anderen Materialien bestehen. Das Halteteil dient im wesentlichen dazu, bei den auftretenden Fliehkräften bei der Türöffnung oder Türschließung Verschiebungen von Kühlgut auf dem Türabsteller 10 möglichst zu verhindern bzw. den Bewegungsbereich zu begrenzen. Denkbar ist es beispielsweise, eine Flasche, Dose oder dergleichen auf dem Türabsteller abzustellen und dann das Halteteil 40 soweit zu verschieben, dass eine Bewegung der Flasche bzw. der Dose nicht oder kaum noch möglich ist.With the reference numeral 40 in FIG FIG. 1 a slidable in the lateral direction holding part is marked. This holding part can be made of plastic or other materials. The holding part is used essentially to prevent displacements of refrigerated goods on the door rack 10 as possible or to limit the range of motion in the centrifugal forces occurring in the door opening or door closing. It is conceivable, for example, turn off a bottle, can or the like on the door rack and then move the holding part 40 so far that a movement of the bottle or the can is not or hardly possible.

Wie dies im einzelnen aus Figur 2 hervorgeht, wird das Halteteil 40 zur Montage nicht über ein vorhandenes Profil gestülpt, sondern seitlich geführt. Hierdurch sind die Verformungen und die auftretenden Spannungen am Halteteil 40 minimal und die aus dem Stand der Technik bekannte Problematik, dass es unter anderem zum Bruch des Verbindungselementes bzw. des Schnapphakens des Halteteils führen kann, sind vermieden.How to do this in detail FIG. 2 shows, the support member 40 is not placed over an existing profile for mounting, but guided laterally. As a result, the deformations and the stresses occurring on the holding part 40 are minimal and known from the prior art problem that it can lead to breakage of the connecting element or the snap hook of the holding part, inter alia, are avoided.

Wie dies aus Figur 2 im einzelnen hervorgeht, schließt sich an die frontseitige Wandung 16 des Türabstellers 10 ein Steg 19 an, der schräg nach oben verläuft. Von dem Endbereich dieses Steges 19 erstreckt sich ein Wandabschnitt 19', der im wesentlichen parallel zur frontseitigen Wandung 16 verläuft. Im unteren Endbereich dieses Wandabschnittes 19' befindet sich ein Vorsprung 50, der sich zu dem angrenzenden Abschnitt des Halteteils 40, das heißt zur Innenseite des Türabstellers 10 hin erstreckt.Like this FIG. 2 shows in detail, connects to the front wall 16 of the door compartment 10, a web 19, which extends obliquely upward. From the end region of this web 19 extends a wall portion 19 ', which extends substantially parallel to the front wall 16. In the lower end region of this wall portion 19 'is a projection 50 which extends to the adjacent portion of the holding part 40, that is to the inside of the door compartment 10.

Der Vorsprung 50 ist tropfenförmig ausgeführt und bildet eine hängende Aufnahme für das Halteteil 40. Das Halteteil 40 weist einen Wandabschnitt 42 auf, der eine Ausnehmung bzw. Nut 43 aufweist, in die der tropfenförmige Vorsprung 50 des Wandabschnittes 19' eingreift. Auf der anderen Seite der Wandung 19' erstreckt sich wenigstens ein, beispielsweise zwei Vorsprünge 44 des Halteteils 40. Der Wandabschnitt 19' ist somit zwischen zwei Teilen des Halteteils 40, in diesem Fall zwischen dem Wandabschnitt 42 und dem oder den Vorsprüngen bzw. der Wandung 44 aufgenommen. Durch den Vorsprung 50, der in der Nut 43 aufgenommen ist, wird das Halteteil 40 in einer bestimmten, in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel hängenden Position gehalten. Durch eine geeignete Wahl des Führungsverhältnisses bzw. der ersten und zweiten Führungsmittel kann erreicht werden, dass eine unerwünschte Verschiebung des Halteteils 40 sicher verhindert wird. In dem hier dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel werden die ersten Führungsmittel durch den Vorsprung 50 und/oder durch den Wandabschnitt 19' gebildet. Die zweiten Führungsmittel werden durch die Nut 43 und/oder durch die Wandabschnitte bzw. Vorsprünge 42, 44 des Halteteils 40 gebildet.The projection 50 is executed drop-shaped and forms a hanging receptacle for the holding part 40. The holding part 40 has a wall portion 42 which has a recess or groove 43 into which the drop-shaped projection 50 of the wall portion 19 'engages. On the other side of the wall 19 'extending at least one, for example, two projections 44 of the holding part 40. The wall portion 19' is thus between two parts of the holding part 40, in this case between the wall portion 42 and the projections or the wall 44 recorded. By the projection 50, which is received in the groove 43, the holding part 40 is held in a certain, hanging in this embodiment position. By a suitable choice of the guide ratio or the first and second guide means can be achieved that an undesirable displacement of the holding member 40 is reliably prevented. In the embodiment shown here, the first guide means are formed by the projection 50 and / or by the wall portion 19 '. The second guide means are formed by the groove 43 and / or by the wall portions or projections 42, 44 of the holding part 40.

Mit dem Bezugszeichen 46 ist eine an der Frontseite des Halteteils 40 angeordnete Schleifrippe gekennzeichnet, die als Gegenlager dient und die gewährleistet, dass das Halteteil unabhängig von auftretenden Toleranzen über dem Grund bzw. über der Bodenplatte 30 des Türabstellers schwebt. In dem hier dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist das Halteteil 40 durch diese Konstruktion somit hängend angeordnet. Ein zwingendes Merkmal der Erfindung ist dies jedoch nicht.Reference numeral 46 denotes a grinding rib arranged on the front side of the holding part 40, which serves as an abutment and which ensures that the holding part hovers above the ground or above the bottom plate 30 of the door compartment, regardless of tolerances that occur. In the embodiment shown here, the holding part 40 is thus arranged hanging by this construction. However, this is not a mandatory feature of the invention.

Die Schleifrippe 46 kann seitlich abgeschrägt sein. Anstatt einer Schleifrippe können auch ein oder mehrere Vorsprünge vorgesehen sein.The abrasive rib 46 may be beveled laterally. Instead of a grinding rib and one or more projections may be provided.

Mit dem Bezugszeichen 60 gemäß Figur 2 ist ein im rückwärtigen Bereich des Halteteils 40 angeordnete, seitlich abgeschrägte Stützrippe dargestellt, die an das Halteteil 40 angeformt ist und als Auslaufschutz dient.With the reference numeral 60 according to FIG. 2 a arranged in the rear region of the support member 40, laterally beveled support rib is shown, which is integrally formed on the holding part 40 and serves as leakage protection.

Wie dies aus Figur 1 und 2 ersichtlich ist, sind die ersten und zweiten Führungselemente so angeordnet, dass sie von vorne und von oben nicht sichtbar sind, so dass sich insgesamt ein ansprechender optischer Gesamteindruck ergibt.Like this FIGS. 1 and 2 can be seen, the first and second guide elements are arranged so that they are not visible from the front and from above, so that the overall result is a pleasing overall visual impression.

Das Halteteil 40 sowie die frontseitige Wandung 16 können aus demselben oder auch aus unterschiedlichen Materialien bestehen. Durch eine geeignete Materialpaarung ist es möglich, Schleifgeräusche weitgehend zu vermeiden.The holding part 40 and the front wall 16 may consist of the same or of different materials. By a suitable combination of materials, it is possible to largely avoid grinding noise.

Figur 3 zeigt in einer perspektivischen Ansicht im Schnitt nochmals die frontseitige Wandung 16 des Türabstellers, den Verbindungssteg 19, sowie den vertikalen Wandabschnitt 19', in dessen unteren Endbereich sich der tropfenförmige und leistenförmige Vorsprung 50 befindet. Der Vorsprung 50 erstreckt sich in Längsrichtung der Wandung 16. Er kann durchgehend oder unterbrochen ausgeführt sein. FIG. 3 shows in a perspective view in section again the front wall 16 of the door compartment, the connecting web 19, and the vertical wall portion 19 ', in the lower end region of the teardrop-shaped and strip-shaped projection 50 is located. The projection 50 extends in the longitudinal direction of the wall 16. It can be designed to be continuous or interrupted.

Aus Figur 4 ist die Anordnung gemäß Figur 3 in einer Ansicht ausgehend von der Bodenfläche 30 des Türabstellers 10 ersichtlich.Out FIG. 4 is the arrangement according to FIG. 3 in a view starting from the bottom surface 30 of the door compartment 10 can be seen.

Aus Figur 4 ist ersichtlich, dass sich der Wandabschnitt 19' nicht über die gesamte Länge der frontseitigen Wandung 16 erstreckt, so dass ein oder mehrere Einführbereiche gebildet werden, in denen das Halteteil angesetzt und dann seitlich auf den Wandabschnitt 19' bzw. auf den vorzugsweise durchgehenden Vorsprung 50 aufgeschoben werden kann. Mit dem Bezugszeichen 51 in Figur 4 ist die seitliche Einführschräge gekennzeichnet, dieses Einführen des Halteteils 40 bzw. der Nut 43 des Halteteils erleichtert.Out FIG. 4 It can be seen that the wall portion 19 'does not extend over the entire length of the front wall 16, so that one or more insertion regions are formed, in which the holding part attached and then laterally on the wall portion 19' and on the preferably continuous projection 50th can be deferred. With the reference numeral 51 in FIG FIG. 4 if the lateral insertion bevel is marked, this insertion of the holding part 40 or the groove 43 of the holding part is facilitated.

Figur 5 zeigt nochmals das Halteteil 40 in seinem frontseitigen Abschnitt in einer Schnittdarstellung mit der Nut 43, die sich im unteren Bereich des Wandabschnittes 42 erstreckt, die im Anschluß an die Nut 43 in einen horizontalen Wandabschnitt 42' übergeht, der sodann wiederum in einen frontseitigen, vertikalen Abschnitt 42" des Halteteils 40 übergeht. FIG. 5 shows again the holding part 40 in its front-side portion in a sectional view with the groove 43 which extends in the lower region of the wall portion 42, which merges into a horizontal wall portion 42 'following the groove 43, which then in turn into a front, vertical Section 42 "of the holding part 40 passes.

Mit dem Bezugszeichen 44 ist ein Vorsprung des Halteteils gekennzeichnet, der im eingesetzten Zustand des Halteteils 40 an dem Wandabschnitt 19' anliegt. Wie dies aus der perspektivischen Ansicht gemäß Figur 6 hervorgeht, weist das Halteteil zwei voneinander beabstandete Vorsprünge 44 auf, zwischen denen ein Freiraum besteht. Zwischen dem Wandabschnitt 42 und den zu dem Wandabschnitt 42 gewandten Seiten der Vorsprünge 44 wird seitlich der Wandabschnitt 19' der frontseitigen Wandung 16 eingeführt. Wie oben dargestellt, befindet sich im unteren Endbereich der Wandung 42, in dem diese in den horizontalen Abschnitt 43 übergeht, die Nut 43, die zur Aufnahme des Vorsprungs 50 dient.By the reference numeral 44, a projection of the holding part is characterized, which rests in the inserted state of the holding part 40 on the wall portion 19 '. As is the case from the perspective view FIG. 6 shows, the holding part on two spaced-apart projections 44, between which there is a free space. Between the wall portion 42 and the wall portion 42 facing sides of the projections 44 of the wall portion 19 'of the front wall 16 is laterally inserted. As shown above, in the lower end region of the wall 42, in which it merges into the horizontal portion 43, the groove 43, which serves to receive the projection 50.

Aus Figur 5 wird nochmals die Anordnung der Schleifrippe 46 des Halteteils 40 deutlich, mit dem das Halteteil 40 frontseitig an der Innenseite der frontseitigen Wandung 16 des Türabstellers 10 anliegt. Wie ausgeführt, dient die vorzugsweise seitlich abgeschrägte Schleifrippe als Gegenlager und hält das Halteteil 40 in der gewünschten Position.Out FIG. 5 again, the arrangement of the grinding rib 46 of the holding part 40 becomes clear, with which the holding part 40 rests on the front side on the inside of the front wall 16 of the door compartment 10. As stated, the preferably laterally beveled grinding rib serves as an abutment and holds the holding part 40 in the desired position.

Der Türabsteller 10 gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung kann Verbindungselemente zum Einhängen des Türabstellers 10 an Verbindungselementen der Innentür aufweisen. Es ist also denkbar, dass der Absteller 10 nicht fest an der Innentür eines Gerätes angeordnet ist, sondern abnehmbar bzw. einhängbar, wodurch auch eine Höhenverstellung möglich ist. Zur Vermeidung von Knackgeräuschen ist es vorteilhaft, wenn der Türabsteller wenigstens teilweise aus Kunststoff besteht. Entsprechendes gilt für die Innentür. Denkbar ist es beispielsweise, einen PP-Türabsteller mit einer PS-Innentür, einen POM-Türabsteller mit einer ABS-Innentür, etc. zu kombinieren. Auch andere Kombinationen wie beispielsweise PP-Türabsteller mit ABS-Innentür oder POM-Türabsteller mit PS-Innentür sowie auch andere Materialpaarungen sind möglich.The door racks 10 according to the present invention may have connecting elements for mounting the door compartment 10 on connecting elements of the inner door. It is therefore conceivable that the stand 10 is not fixed to the inner door of a device, but removable or suspended, whereby a height adjustment is possible. To avoid crackling noises, it is advantageous if the door rack is at least partially made of plastic. The same applies to the inner door. It is conceivable, for example, to combine a PP door rack with a PS inner door, a POM door rack with an ABS interior door, etc. Other combinations such as PP door racks with ABS interior door or POM door racks with PS inner door as well as other material pairings are possible.

Durch eine geeignete Materialpaarung wird ein besserer Einhängekomfort gewährleistet.By a suitable combination of materials a better Einhängekomfort is guaranteed.

Wie ebenfalls oben ausgeführt ist es denkbar, das Halteteil 40 und die angrenzenden Teile des Türabstellers, insbesondere die frontseitige Wandung 16, den Steg 19 und den Wandabschnitt 19' so auszuführen, dass Schleifgeräusche bei der Bewegung des Halteteils möglichst vermieden werden.As also stated above, it is conceivable that the holding part 40 and the adjacent parts of the door compartment, in particular the front wall 16, the web 19 and the wall portion 19 'perform so that grinding noise in the movement of the holding part are avoided as possible.

Durch die Ausgestaltung der Türabstellers gemäß dem hier dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel wird eine optisch ansprechende Lösung erzielt, die nur vergleichsweise geringen Belastungen ausgesetzt ist, da das Halteteil 40 nicht aufgestülpt, sondern seitlich eingeführt wird. Das Halteteil ist dennoch leicht zu verschieben und frei von Schleifgeräuschen. Es ist des weiteren leicht montierbar und demontierbar und bietet einen hohen Verstellkomfort. An Stelle eines Halteteils können selbstverständlich auch zwei oder mehr als zwei Halteteile pro Türabsteller vorgesehen sein.Due to the design of the door compartment according to the embodiment shown here, a visually appealing solution is achieved, which is exposed only comparatively low loads, since the holding part 40 is not slipped up, but is introduced laterally. The holding part is still easy to move and free of grinding noise. It is also easy to assemble and disassemble and offers a high adjustment comfort. Of course, two or more than two holding parts per door rack can be provided instead of a holding part.
