Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Kühl- oder Gefriergerät gemäß dem Oberbegriff des einzigen Anspruchs.The invention relates to a refrigerator or freezer according to the preamble of the single claim.

Bei einem bekannten Kühlgerät dieser Art (EP-A-0 155 674) ist eine Abstellplatte vorgesehen, die in waagerechten seitlichen Führungsschienen verschiebbar gehalten ist, welche sich von einer durch eine Tür verschließbaren Öffnungsebene in die Gehäusetiefe zu einer Rückwand des Kühlraums hin erstrecken. Die Abstellplatte besteht aus Kunststoff und ist mit einem über den gesamten Umfang sich erstreckenden, nach unten gerichteten Umfangsrand versehen, der einstückig mit der eigentlichen Abstellplatte verbunden ist. Im dazu erforderlichen Spritzwerkzeug wird zugleich die der Rückwand des Kühlraums benachbarte rückwärtige Kante nach oben sowie die der Öffnungsebene des Kühlraums zugewandte Seitenkante nach unten gezogen. Die freie nach unten gerichtete Kante des Umfangsrandes bestimmt hierbei die Ebene, in der die Abstellplatte auf den zugehörigen Führungsschienen aufsitzt und bildet zugleich eine notwendige Versteifung der Abstellplatte. Die mit den Führungsschienen zusammenwirkenden gegenüberliegenden Seitenkanten der Abstellplatte weisen je zwei Ausschnitte auf, von welchen der eine im Bereich des nach oben gezogenen rückwärtigen Randes vorgesehen ist, an den sich unter Belassung eines Gleitzapfens ein weiterer Ausschnitt anschließt, der sich bis etwa an das erste Drittel der jeweiligen Seitenkante erstreckt. Diese Ausschnitte werden ebenfalls im betreffenden Spritzwerkzeug ausgebildet. Im hinteren und im vorderen Kantenabschnitt dieser Seitenkanten ist dadurch je ein Auflageteilstück gebildet, wobei diese Teilstücke mit den Führungsschienen zusammenwirken. Das vordere Auflageteilstück erstreckt sich dabei bis an die der Öffnungsebene zugewandte vordere geneigte Seitenkante und muß daher zur Erzeugung einer planen Auflagefläche für das Zusammenwirken mit der zugehörigen Führungsschiene mit dem nach unten gerichteten Umfangsrand ausgestattet sein.In a known cooling device of this type (EP-A-0 155 674), a storage plate is provided which is slidably held in horizontal lateral guide rails which extend from an opening plane which can be closed by a door into the depth of the housing towards a rear wall of the cooling space. The storage plate is made of plastic and is provided with a circumferential edge which extends over the entire circumference and is directed downward and is integrally connected to the actual storage plate. In the injection mold required for this, the rear edge adjacent to the rear wall of the cooling space is pulled upwards and the side edge facing the opening plane of the cooling space is pulled downwards. The free downward edge of the peripheral edge determines the level in which the shelf sits on the associated guide rails and at the same time forms a necessary stiffening of the shelf. The opposite side edges of the storage plate which cooperate with the guide rails each have two cutouts, one of which is provided in the region of the rear edge which is pulled upwards and to which a further cutout is provided while leaving a sliding pin connects, which extends to about the first third of the respective side edge. These cutouts are also formed in the relevant injection mold. A support section is thereby formed in the rear and in the front edge section of these side edges, these sections interacting with the guide rails. The front support section extends to the front inclined side edge facing the opening plane and must therefore be equipped with the downward peripheral edge to produce a flat support surface for interaction with the associated guide rail.

Daneben ist auch ein Kühlgerät bekannt (US-A-2 377 941), in dem eine aus Glas gefertigte Abstellplatte zur Anwendung gelangt. Diese Ablageplatte weist an ihrer Unterseite mehrere parallel zueinander verlaufende und nach unten gerichtete schräge Stege auf, welche für die Ableitung von Kondenswasser zu den Seitenwänden des Kühlraums hin dienen. An den Seitenwänden befinden sich dabei in den Kühlraum gerichtete Zapfen, auf welche die Abstellplatte mit ihren geraden Seitenkanten von oben aufzusetzen ist.In addition, a cooling device is known (US-A-2 377 941), in which a shelf made of glass is used. On its underside, this storage plate has a plurality of parallel, downwardly directed sloping webs, which are used to drain off condensed water to the side walls of the cooling space. On the side walls there are pegs directed into the cooling space, onto which the shelf with its straight side edges is to be placed from above.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei einem Kühl- oder Gefriergerät gemäß dem Oberbegriff des einzigen Anspruchs Maßnahmen zu treffen, durch die mit einfachen Mitteln eine voll gebrauchstaugliche Abstellplatte aus planem Glaswerkstoff bereitgestellt wird.The invention has for its object to take measures in a refrigerator or freezer according to the preamble of the single claim, through which a fully usable shelf made of flat glass material is provided with simple means.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt gemäß der Erfindung durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs.This object is achieved according to the invention by the characterizing features of the claim.

Gemäß der Erfindung wird die Abstellplatte des Kühl- oder Gefriergeräts aus einer planen Glasscheibe gefertigt. Beim Herstellungsprozess wird sowohl die rückwärtige Kante der Glasscheibe nach oben abgewinkelt bzw. die vordere Kante nach unten geneigt. Die Glasscheibe kommt im Bereich ihrer mit den Führungsschienen zusammenwirkenden Seitenkanten ohne zusätzlich umgebogenen Umfangsrand aus und erfordert lediglich an diesen Seitenkanten drei Ausschnitte, zwischen welchen die beiden Auflageteilstücke gebildet sind, wobei durch die Ausschnitte im Bereich der nach unten gerichteten vorderen Kante sowie der nach oben gerichteten rückwärtigen Kante die dort nach unten bzw. oben geneigten Abschnitte der betreffenden Auflageteilstücke abgeschnitten sind.According to the invention, the storage plate of the refrigerator or freezer is made from a flat sheet of glass. During the manufacturing process, the rear edge of the glass pane is angled upwards or the front edge is inclined downwards. In the area of its side edges interacting with the guide rails, the glass pane does not require an additional bent peripheral edge and only requires three cutouts on these side edges, between which the two support sections are formed, with the cutouts in the area of the downward front edge and the upward direction rear edge the sections of the respective support sections inclined downwards or upwards are cut off.

Die Erfindung ist nachfolgend anhand einer einzigen Figur näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to a single figure.

Eine Abstellplatte 1 ist für das Einschieben in waagerechte seitliche Führungsschienen in den Kühlraum eines nicht dargestellten Kühl- oder Gefriergerätes vorgesehen. Die Führungsschienen erstrecken sich dabei von einer durch eine Tür verschließbaren Öffnungsebene in die Gehäusetiefe zu einer Rückwand des Kühlraums hin und enden dort vorzugsweise mit Abstand. Auch reichen diese Führungsschienen nicht zur Öffnungsebene hin. Die Abstellplatte 1 besteht aus Einscheiben- oder Mehrscheiben-Sicherheitsglas. Dabei ist die bei der Anordnung im Kühlraum rückwärtige Kante 2 der Glasplatte 1 nach oben gerichtet, so daß von der vorderen Seitenkante 3 aus auf die Glasplatte 1 aufgeschobene Kühlgüter nicht über den rückwärtigen Seitenrand 2 hinuntergeschoben werden können. Diese rückwärtige Seitenkante 2 steht mit Abstand von der parallel dazu verlaufenden Rückwand des Kühlraums. Die rückwärtige Seitenkante 2 kann scharfkantig abgekantet sein, vorzugsweise ist sie jedoch mit einem Biegeradius bis zu beispielsweise 20 mm und bis zu 90 Winkelgraden abgekantet. Aus dem gerundeten Abkantbereich lassen sich Speisereste mit geringer Mühe entfernen. Die vorderer parallel zur Öffnungsebene verlaufende Seitenkante 3 der Glasplatte ist schräg nach unten geneigt, vorzugsweise unter einem Winkel bis 45°.A storage plate 1 is provided for insertion into horizontal lateral guide rails in the cooling space of a refrigerator or freezer, not shown. The guide rails extend from an opening level that can be closed by a door into the depth of the housing to a rear wall of the cooling space and preferably end there at a distance. These guide rails also do not reach the opening level. The storage plate 1 consists of single-pane or multi-pane safety glass. The rear edge 2 of the glass plate 1, when arranged in the refrigerator, is directed upwards, so that from the front side edge 3 to the Glass plate 1 pushed refrigerated goods can not be pushed down over the rear side edge 2. This rear side edge 2 is at a distance from the parallel rear wall of the refrigerator. The rear side edge 2 can be chamfered with sharp edges, but it is preferably chamfered with a bending radius of up to, for example, 20 mm and up to 90 degrees. Food residues can be removed from the rounded folding area with little effort. The front side edge 3 of the glass plate, which runs parallel to the opening plane, is inclined downwards, preferably at an angle of up to 45 °.

Die in die Tiefe laufenden Seitenkanten 4 der Glasplatte 1 sind so bemessen, daß sie in die seitlichen Führungsschienen des Kühlraums eingreifen. Gemäß der Figur befinden sich im Bereich dieser Seitenkanten 4 je drei Ausschnitte in der Anordnung, daß im vorderen und im hinteren Abschnitt dieser Seitenkanten 4 Auflageteilstücke 5,6 gebildet sind, die in die Führungsschienen eingreifen. Bei geöffneter, aber noch in die Öffnungsebene ragender Tür des Kühl- oder Gefriergerätes kann dann die Glasplatte 1 soweit nach vorn herausgezogen werden, daß die vorderen Auflageteilstücke 5 aus den betreffenden Führungsschienen herausgleiten. Durch Rippen der Glasplatte nach unten oder oben läßt sich dann auch das jeweilige hintere Auflageteilstück 6 aus der jeweiligen Führungsschiene herausziehen. Die Glasplatte 1 kann dann aus dem Rühlraum entnommen werden. Die in den Seitenkanten vorgesehenen Ausschnitte können so tief ausgebildet werden, daß beispielsweise Flaschen, die auf einer darunter liegenden Abstellplatte abgestellt sind, mit ihren oberen Enden durch die Ebene der darüberliegenden Glasplatte 1 greifen können. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, innerhalb der Glasplatte 1 eine geschlossene Aussparung oder Ausklinkung vorzusehen. Auch kann diese Ausklinkung in der vorderen Seitenkante 3 vorgesehen sein.The deep side edges 4 of the glass plate 1 are dimensioned so that they engage in the side guide rails of the refrigerator. According to the figure, there are three cutouts in the area of these side edges 4 in such a way that 4 support sections 5, 6 are formed in the front and rear section of these side edges, which engage in the guide rails. With the door of the refrigerator or freezer still open, but still projecting into the opening plane, the glass plate 1 can then be pulled out to the front to such an extent that the front support sections 5 slide out of the relevant guide rails. By ripping the glass plate down or up, the respective rear support section 6 can then be pulled out of the respective guide rail. The glass plate 1 can then be removed from the cooling room. The cutouts provided in the side edges can be made so deep that, for example, bottles which are placed on an underlying shelf have their upper ends through the plane of the one above Glass plate 1 can grip. However, it is also possible to provide a closed recess or notch within the glass plate 1. This notch can also be provided in the front side edge 3.

Es ergibt sich somit für die Glasplatte ein einstückiger Aufbau, der kostengünstig bei einem ansprechenden, variablen Design darstellbar ist.This results in a one-piece construction for the glass plate, which can be represented inexpensively with an appealing, variable design.
