Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Kühl- oder Gefrierschrank mit einer einen Handgriff aufweisenden, an einer Wand des Schrankkörpers angelenkten Tür, die an ihrem inneren Randbereich mit einer umlaufenden, sich an die Stirnseiten der Seitenwände und der Deck- und Bodenwände des Schrankkörpers anlegenden Dichtung versehen ist, bei dem der Handgriff aus dem längerem Arm eines am Randbereich der Öffnungsseite der Tür schwenkbar gelagerten zweiarmigen Hebels besteht.The invention relates to a refrigerator or freezer with a handle which is hinged to a wall of the cabinet body and is provided on its inner edge region with a circumferential seal which bears against the end faces of the side walls and the top and bottom walls of the cabinet body. in which the handle consists of the longer arm of a two-armed lever pivotally mounted on the edge region of the opening side of the door.

Kühl- und Gefrierschrankdichtungen bestehen üblicherweise aus elastomerem Material mit einem geschlossenen, balgenartigen Hohlprofil und einer auf diesem befestigten Leiste aus magnetisiertem Material, die sich, um eine gut dichtende Anlage des Dichtungsprofils an den Stirnseiten des Schrankkorpus zu gewährleisten, auf einen an den Stirnseiten der Schrankwände befestigten Streifen aus Eisen, der den Anker für den Magnetstreifen bildet, anlegt. Da bei dem Öffnen der Tür der an der Dichtung befestigte Magnetstreifen großflächig von dem Eisenstreifen abgerissen werden muß, ist eine erhebliche Kraft erforderlich, um die magnetische Zuhaltekraft zu überwinden.Fridge and freezer seals are usually made of elastomeric material with a closed, bellows-like hollow profile and a bar made of magnetized material attached to it, which, in order to ensure that the sealing profile fits tightly on the front sides of the cabinet body, on one on the front sides of the cabinet walls attached strip of iron, which forms the anchor for the magnetic strip. Since the magnetic strip attached to the seal must be torn off over a large area of the iron strip when the door is opened, a considerable force is required to overcome the magnetic locking force.

In Gefrierschränken entsteht nach einem Schließen der Tür durch Ausfrieren der Feuchtigkeit und Abkühlen der während der Öffnungszeit in den Gefrierschrank gelangten Umgebungsluft ein Unterdruck, der die Gefrierschranktür mit großer Kraft gegen die Stirnseiten des Schrankkorpus ansaugt, so daß sich die Gefrierschranktür für eine gewisse Zeit nach dem Schließen nur mit erheblicher Kraftanstrengung öffnen läßt. Um die Kühl- oder Gefrierschranktür öffnen zu können, ist es daher häufig erforderlich, an dem Handgriff mit größerer Kraft oder ruckweise zu ziehen, was nicht nur lästig ist, sondern auch zu einem unerwünschten Verrücken des Kühl- oder Gefrierschrankes insgesamt führen kann.In freezers, after the door has been closed, freezing of the moisture and cooling of the ambient air that has entered the freezer during the opening time create a negative pressure, which sucks the freezer door with great force against the front sides of the cabinet body, so that the freezer door moves for a certain time after Closing can only be opened with considerable effort. In order to be able to open the refrigerator or freezer door, it is therefore often necessary to pull the handle with greater force or with jerks, which is not only is annoying, but can also lead to an undesirable movement of the refrigerator or freezer overall.

Aus GB-A-840 661 ist ein Gefrierschrank der eingangs angegebenen Art bekannt, bei dem sich der kürzere Arm des zweiarmigen Hebels über eine Rolle unmittelbar auf der Stirnseite einer Seitenwand des Schrankkörpers abstützt. Bei diesem bekannten Kühlschrank ist der den Handgriff bildende längere Arm des zweiarmigen Hebels um eine Querachse schwenkbar an der Stirnseite der Tür gelagert, so daß sich dieser nur schwierig ergreifen läßt und der insgesamt großbauende Öffnungsmechanismus ein unansehnliches Aussehen besitzt.From GB-A-840 661 a freezer of the type mentioned is known, in which the shorter arm of the two-armed lever is supported by a roller directly on the front side of a side wall of the cabinet body. In this known refrigerator the longer arm forming the handle of the two-armed lever is pivotally mounted about a transverse axis on the front side of the door, so that it is difficult to grasp and the overall large opening mechanism has an unsightly appearance.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, einen Kühl- oder Gefrierschrank der eingangs angegebenen Art zu schaffen, der in kompakter Bauweise einen gut zugänglichen Handgriff besitzt, mit dem sich dessen Tür ohne große Kraftanstrengung öffnen läßt.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a refrigerator or freezer of the type mentioned, which has a compact design, an easily accessible handle with which the door can be opened without great effort.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe bei einem Kühl- oder Gefrierschrank der gattungsgemäßen Art durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.According to the invention, this object is achieved in a refrigerator or freezer of the generic type by the characterizing features of patent claim 1.

Der erfindungsgemäß ausgestaltete Handgriff läßt sich formschön an den Öffnungsrand der Tür anbauen, wobei dessen gute Zugänglichkeit dadurch gewährleistet ist, daß er auf der Vorderseite der Tür liegt.The handle designed according to the invention can be elegantly attached to the opening edge of the door, its good accessibility being ensured by the fact that it lies on the front of the door.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert. In dieser zeigt

An embodiment of the invention is explained below with reference to the drawing. In this shows
Fig. 1
2 shows a side view of a refrigerator door with a lever handle acting on the side wall of the cabinet via a plunger,
Fig. 2
2 shows a section through the handle arrangement according to FIG. 1,

Aus Fig. 1 ist die Öffnungsseite einer Kühlschranktür in ihrem geschlossenen Zustand ersichtlich, in dem sich die Tür über eine umlaufende Dichtung 3 mit balgenförmigem Hohlprofil auf der Stirnseite einer Seitenwandung des Schrankkorpus abstützt. Neben einem Dichtungswulst ist an der Dichtung 3 ein umlaufender Magnetstreifen 5 befestigt, der an einem den Anker bildenden Streifen aus Eisen anliegt, der an der Stirnseite der wand befestigt ist.1 shows the opening side of a refrigerator door in its closed state, in which the door is supported by a circumferential seal 3 with a bellows-shaped hollow profile on the end face of a side wall of the cabinet body. In addition to a sealing bead, a circumferential magnetic strip 5 is attached to the seal 3, which abuts an iron strip forming the anchor, which is attached to the front of the wall.

Bei der Ausführungsform nach den Figuren 1 und 2 besteht der Handgriff 12 aus einem zweiarmigen Hebel, der über Lagerlappen 13 an Lagerböcken 14, die auf einem Beschlagteil 16 befestigt sind, um eine zu der Türkante parallele, senkrechte Achse schwenkbar gelagert ist. In einer Führung einer mit der Stirnseite der Tür verschraubten Griffbefestigungsplatte 17 ist ein Stößel 15 verschieblich geführt, das mit seiner unteren Seite 18 bei Betätigung des Handgriffs 12 auf die Stirnseite 19 der Schrankseitenwand neben dem Dichtungsprofil 3 wirkt. Das aus einem Blech- oder Kunststoffstreifen bestehende Stößel 15 ist an seinem äußeren Ende mit einer Abwinkelung 20 versehen. Auf das äußere mit der Abwinkelung 20 versehene Ende des Stößels 15 wirkt der kurze Hebelarm 22 des Handgriffs 12. Das eigentliche Griffteil des Handgriffs 12 wird durch den längeren Hebelarm 23 gebildet, der sich im unbetätigten Zustand etwa parallel zur Außenseite der Tür erstreckt. Zwischen dem Beschlagteil 16 und der Abwinkelung 20 des Stößels 15 ist eine bügelförmige Blattfeder 25 eingespannt, die das Stößel 15 und damit den Handgriff 11 in Richtung der Schließstellung beaufschlagt.In the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2, the handle 12 consists of a two-armed lever which is pivotally mounted about bearing lugs 13 on bearing blocks 14, which are fastened on a fitting part 16, about a vertical axis parallel to the door edge. In a guide of a handle mounting plate 17 screwed to the front side of the door, a plunger 15 is displaceably guided, which acts with its lower side 18 on the front side 19 of the cabinet side wall next to the sealing profile 3 when the handle 12 is actuated. The plunger 15 consisting of a sheet metal or plastic strip is provided with an angled portion 20 at its outer end. On the outer end of the plunger 15 provided with the bend 20 acts the short lever arm 22 of the handle 12. The actual handle part of the handle 12 is formed by the longer lever arm 23, which extends approximately parallel to the outside of the door in the unactuated state. Between the fitting part 16 and the bend 20 of the plunger 15, a bow-shaped leaf spring 25 is clamped, which acts on the plunger 15 and thus the handle 11 in the direction of the closed position.

Wird das durch den längeren Hebelarm gebildete Griffteil 23 in Richtung des Pfeils B verschwenkt, stützt sich das Stößel 15 in Richtung des Pfeils C auf der Stirnseite der Seitenwand ab, so daß die Tür mit großer Öffnungskraft geöffnet wird.If the handle part 23 formed by the longer lever arm is pivoted in the direction of arrow B, the plunger 15 is supported in the direction of arrow C on the front side of the side wall, so that the door is opened with a large opening force.
