Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Kühl- und/oder Gefriergerät gemäß dem Oberbegriff des ersten Anspruchs.The invention relates to a refrigerator and / or freezer according to the preamble of the first claim.

Bei einem bekannten Kühlschrank dieser Art (DE 38 13 336 A1) ist in ein Außengehäuse ein Innenbehälter eingesetzt, der einen das zu kühlende Gut aufnehmenden Kühlraum umschließt und mittels einer frontseitigen Tür schließbar ist. An gegenüberliegenden senkrechten Seitenwänden des Innenbehälters verlaufen in waagerechter Richtung parallel zueinander mehrere gleichartig ausgebildete Führungsschienen, die aus der Seitenwand herausgeformt sind und an ihrer Oberseite plane waagerechte Führungsbahnen und an ihrer Unterseite nach oben hin hinterschnittene Führungen aufweisen.In a known refrigerator of this type (DE 38 13 336 A1), an inner container is inserted into an outer housing, which encloses a cooling space that receives the goods to be cooled and can be closed by means of a front door. On opposite vertical side walls of the inner container, several guide rails of the same design run parallel to one another in the horizontal direction, which are formed out of the side wall and have flat horizontal guide tracks on their upper side and undercut guides on their underside.

Während die oberen planen Führungsbahnen für die Auflage von zweiseitig abzustützenden, durchgehenden Ablageplatten oder -rosten dienen, bildet je eine dieser planen Führungsbahnen zusammen mit der hinterschnittenen Unterseite der darüber befindlichen hinterschnittenen Führung eine Führungsnut für einzuhakende Haltemittel an Kühlgutablagen, die nur einseitig aufgehängt werden. Diese Haltemittel sind gegengleich zumindest weitgehend an die Kontur der sie aufnehmenden Führungsnut angepaßt.While the upper flat guideways serve to support double-sided, continuous storage plates or grates, one of these flat guideways together with the undercut underside of the undercut guide located above it forms a guide groove for holding devices to be hooked onto refrigerated goods shelves that are only hung on one side. In contrast, these holding means are at least largely adapted to the contour of the guide groove receiving them.

Von Nachteil ist dabei, daß durch einseitiges Anheben der einseitig gehalterten Ablage dieselbe versehentlich aus der sie aufnehmenden Führungsnut ausgehoben werden kann, wodurch sie unkontrolliert abstürzt.The disadvantage here is that by unilaterally lifting the one-sided holder the same accidentally from the the receiving guide groove can be excavated, causing it to crash in an uncontrolled manner.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei einem Kühlgerät gemäß dem Oberbegriff des ersten Anspruchs Maßnahmen zu treffen, durch welche eine sichere Halterung von einseitig aufgehängten Ablagen erreicht wird.The invention has for its object to take measures in a cooling device according to the preamble of the first claim, by which a secure mounting of one-sided shelves is achieved.

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

Bei einer Ausgestaltung eines Kühlgeräts erfüllen die zu einer Gruppe zusammengefaßten einander benachbarten Führungsschienen die übliche Funktion, in dem sie zweiseitig abzustützende Ablagen führen und halten. Dagegen ist erfindungsgemäß das Führungselement als Führungsnut ausgebildet, deren beide Nutschenkel derart hinterschnitten sind, daß ein Aushängen eines zur Nut (7) im wesentlichen gegengleich angepaßten Gegenpols nach oben und nach unten aus der Nut (7) zumindest erschwert, vorzugsweise überhaupt nicht, vorgesehen ist. Dabei greift der Gegenpol sowohl in die nach oben als auch in die nach unten gerichtete Hinterschnittnut an den Nutschenkeln ein. Durch die vergleichsweise starre Ausbildung ist der Gegenpol daher nur in Längsrichtung der Führungsnut verschiebbar.In one embodiment of a cooling device, the guide rails that are adjacent to one another and which are combined to form a group fulfill the usual function in that they guide and hold supports to be supported on both sides. In contrast, according to the invention, the guide element is designed as a guide groove, the two groove legs of which are undercut in such a way that it is at least difficult, preferably not at all, to unhook an opposing pole which is essentially opposite to the groove (7) and is at least made difficult . The opposite pole engages both in the upward and in the downward undercut groove on the slot legs. Due to the comparatively rigid design, the opposite pole can therefore only be displaced in the longitudinal direction of the guide groove.

Durch das Merkmal "zumindest erschwert" soll zum Ausdruck gebracht werden, daß ein unbeabsichtigtes Herauslösen durch versehentliches Anheben einer einseitig aufgehängten Ablagen sicher vermieden ist.The characteristic "at least difficult" is intended to express that an unintentional removal by accidental lifting of a storage device suspended on one side is reliably avoided.

In vorteilhafter Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann das als Nut ausgebildete Führungselement im wesentlichen waagrecht an der Seitenwand des Innenbehälters und/oder an der Türinnenseite oder im wesentlichen waagrecht an einer Ablage verlaufen. Der Gegenpol verläuft dann im erstgenannten Fall im wesentlichen waagrecht an der Ablage oder entsprechend umgekehrt im zweitgenannten Fall im wesentlichen waagrecht an der Seitenwand oder an der Türinnenseite. Von besonderem Vorteil ist es dabei, daß auch in der Türinnenwand eine hinterschnittene Führungsnut vorgesehen sein kann, weil die einseitig aufzuhängende Ablage dann wahlweise an der Türinnenseite oder seitlich am Innenbehälter angesetzt werden kann.In an advantageous development of the invention, the guide element designed as a groove can be essentially horizontal on the side wall of the inner container and / or on the inside of the door or essentially horizontal on one Storage run. The opposite pole then runs essentially horizontally on the shelf in the first case or, conversely, in the second case essentially horizontally on the side wall or on the inside of the door. It is particularly advantageous that an undercut guide groove can also be provided in the inner wall of the door, because the shelf to be hung on one side can then be placed either on the inside of the door or laterally on the inner container.

Dabei braucht sich die Führungsnut, insbesondere am Innenbehälter, nur über einen Teil der Breite der betreffenden Wand zu erstrecken, wobei sich die Führungsnut insbesondere im hinteren Abschnitt zur Rückwand des Innenbehälters hin und benachbart zur Deckenwand des Innenbehälters befinden kann. Dieser Bereich wird bei der Nutzung des Kühlraums in der Regel weniger beansprucht, so daß eine dieser Ablagen in diesem Raumbereich geparkt werden kann, wenn sie mit oder ohne Inhalt nur sporadisch benutzt wird.The guide groove, in particular on the inner container, only has to extend over part of the width of the wall in question, the guide groove being able to be located in particular in the rear section toward the rear wall of the inner container and adjacent to the top wall of the inner container. This area is usually less used when the refrigerator is used, so that one of these shelves can be parked in this area if it is only used sporadically with or without content.

In technisch einfach zu realisierender Weise kann die Nut T-förmig oder schwalbenschwanzartig ausgebildet sein.In a technically simple manner, the groove can be T-shaped or dovetail-like.

Um das Einstecken des Gegenpols in die Führungsnut zu erleichtern, kann insbesondere die eine Seitenwand des Innenbehälters zugeordnete Führungsnut an ihrem der Tür zugewandten Ende an ihren Nutschenkeln mit Einführungsschrägen ausgestattet sein, die sich zur Tür hin keilförmig voneinander entfernen. In gleicher Weise können sich auch die Hinterschnittnuten keilförmig erweitern, sofern nicht der Gegenpol gegengleiche Anlaufschrägen aufweist. Grundsätzlich wird das Einhängen einer Ablage also dadurch erleichtert, daß die Nut und/oder der Gegenpol Einführschrägen aufweist.In order to facilitate the insertion of the opposite pole into the guide groove, in particular the guide groove assigned to a side wall of the inner container can be provided at its end facing the door on its groove legs with insertion bevels which wedge-shaped away from one another towards the door. In the same way, the undercut grooves can widen in a wedge shape, unless the opposite pole has opposite bevels. Basically, the hanging of a shelf is made easier by the fact that the groove and / or the opposite pole has insertion bevels.

Die Führungsnut an einer Seitenwand kann dabei so nahe zur Deckenwand des Innenbehälters hin verlagert sein, daß bei entsprechender Anordnung der Halterung an der betreffenden Ablage diese als oben offene Schale ausgebildete Ablage mit ihrem Öffnungsrand dicht unterhalb der Deckenwand zu liegen kommt. Die Deckenwand kann dann einen sonst an einer solchen Schale zweckmäßigen Deckel ersetzen.The guide groove on a side wall can be shifted so close to the top wall of the inner container that, if the holder is suitably arranged on the relevant shelf, this shelf, which is designed as an open-top shell, comes to lie with its opening edge just below the top wall. The ceiling wall can then replace a cover which is otherwise expedient on such a shell.

Dabei kann es auch zweckmäßig sein, den oberen Nutschenkel der Führungsnut auf seiner Oberseite mit einer planen, waagerechten Führungsbahn zu versehen, wenn an der gegenüberliegenden Innenbehälter-Seitenwand eine entsprechend ausgebildete Führungsnut oder eigenständige Führungsbahn vorgesehen ist, so daß dann wieder eine durchgehende Ablageplatte darauf in einer Parkstellung gelagert werden kann.It may also be expedient to provide the upper groove leg of the guide groove on its upper side with a flat, horizontal guide track if a correspondingly designed guide groove or independent guide track is provided on the opposite inner container side wall, so that a continuous storage plate thereon again can be stored in a parking position.

Das Merkmal "zumindest erschwert" kann besonders einfach dadurch ausgestaltet sein, der Gegenpol infolge einer elastischen Verformbarkeit von Gegenpol und/oder Nut in die Nut eindruckbar ist. Dabei ist die zum absichtlichen Eindrücken erforderliche, gerichtete Kraft größer als die Kraft, die zufällig auf eine in der Nut eingehängte Ablage beim bestimmungsgemäßen Gebrauch des Geräts wirken könnte. Dies wird durch eine dem Fachmann naheliegende Auswahl entsprechender elastischer Werkstoffe konstruktiv umgesetzt.The feature “at least more difficult” can be configured particularly simply by the counter pole being able to be impressed into the groove as a result of the elastic deformability of the counter pole and / or groove. The directional force required for deliberate indentation is greater than the force that could accidentally act on a shelf suspended in the groove when the device is used as intended. This is implemented constructively by a selection of appropriate elastic materials that is obvious to the person skilled in the art.

Die Erfindung ist nachfolgend anhand der Prinzipdarstellungen von Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of the basic representations of exemplary embodiments.

In einem Außengehäuse 1 eines schrankförmigen Kühlgeräts befindet sich ein Kühlraum, der durch einen Innenbehälter 3 umgrenzt ist, und/oder der mit einem Tiefkühlfach 2 abgetrennt ist. Das Tiefkühlfach 2 wie der Kühlraum werden mittels eigenständiger, um senkrechte Achsen schwenkbare Türen im Kühlbetrieb verschlossen. Im Innenbehälter 3 befinden sich an gegenüberliegenden senkrechten Seitenwänden 4 parallel zueinander verlaufende waagerechte Führungsschienen 5, die einerseits plane waagerechte Führungsbahnen 6 für die Auflage von zweiseitig abzustützenden Ablageplatten oder -rosten und andererseits wenigstens eine hinterschnittene Führung 7 für eine einseitig aufgehängte Ablagen 8 aufweisen. Diese Ablagen 8 sind mit zu der hinterschnittenen Führung gegengleichen, angepaßten und in diese Führung 7 axial einzuschiebenden starren Haltemitteln 9 versehen, die vorwiegend als einfache Hakenstege ausgebildet sind, welche die hinterschnittenen Nutschenkel 7.1 hintergreifen.In an outer housing 1 of a cabinet-shaped cooling device there is a cooling space which is delimited by an inner container 3 and / or which is separated by a freezer compartment 2. The freezer compartment 2 and the refrigerator compartment are closed by means of independent doors that can be pivoted about vertical axes in cooling mode. In the inner container 3 there are on opposite vertical side walls 4 parallel horizontal guide rails 5, which on the one hand have flat horizontal guide tracks 6 for the support of storage plates or grids to be supported on both sides and on the other hand at least one undercut guide 7 for a storage 8 suspended on one side. These shelves 8 are provided with rigid holding means 9 which are the same as the undercut guide, are adapted and are axially inserted into this guide 7 and which are predominantly designed as simple hook webs which engage behind the undercut groove limbs 7.1.

Eine einseitig aufzuhängende Ablage 8, die in der Regel für die Nutzung an der Tür 12 bestimmt ist, kann somit auch unmittelbar im Innenbehälter 3 geparkt und bei Bedarf wieder zur Aufhängung an die Tür 12 zurückgeholt werden. Dabei ist es möglich, die Führungsnut 7 an der jeweiligen Seitenwand 4 des Innenbehälters 3 und insbesondere im unteren Abschnitt der Türinnenschale 11 nur über einen Teil der waagrechten Breite reichen zu lassen, so daß neben diesen kurzen Führungsnuten 7 auf darunter befindliche Ablagen 8 oder Ablageplatten 16 höhere Gegenstände gestellt werden können.A shelf 8 to be hung on one side, which is generally intended for use on the door 12, can thus also be parked directly in the inner container 3 and, if necessary, can be brought back to the door 12 for suspension. It is possible to allow the guide groove 7 on the respective side wall 4 of the inner container 3 and in particular in the lower section of the inner door shell 11 to extend only over part of the horizontal width, so that in addition to these short guide grooves 7 on shelves 8 or shelf plates 16 underneath higher objects can be placed.

Sollen die Führungen 7 in der Türinnenschale 11 an den Längsenden nicht axial offen sein, werden betreffende Abschnitte der Nutschenkel 7.1 bis auf den Nutgrund 7.2, also auf das äußere Abstandsmaß der Halterung 9 erweitert. Dadurch können die Halterungen 9 von der Frontseite der Türinnenschale aus in die betreffenden Führungen 7 eingesteckt und seitlich verschoben werden.If the guides 7 in the inner door shell 11 are not to be axially open at the longitudinal ends, relevant sections of the groove legs 7.1 are extended to the groove base 7.2, that is to say the outer spacing of the holder 9. As a result, the brackets 9 can be inserted from the front of the inner door shell into the guides 7 in question and moved laterally.

Die gleiche Maßnahme kann auch bei der oder den Führungen 7 am Innenbehälter 3 vorgesehen werden, jedoch ist dort vorzugsweise die entsprechende Führung 7 zur Tür 12 hin in axialer Richtung offen, so daß eine Ablage 8 mit ihrer Halterung 9 von der durch die Tür zu verschließenden Zugrifföffnung aus axial eingeschoben werden kann. Die hinterschnittenen Nutschenkel 7.1 sind an ihren der Tür 12 zugewandten Enden mit Einführschrägen 13 versehen, so daß die unmittelbar an die jeweilige Ablage 8 angeformten Abschnitte der Haltemittel 9 beim Ansetzen zwischen die Nutschenkel 7.1 eingeführt werden. Dem gleichen Zweck dienen entsprechende Anlaufschrägen 9.1 an den voneinander wegweisenden Enden der Halterungen 9 (Gegenpol).

Dem gleichen Zweck dienen entsprechende Anlaufschrägen 9.1 an den voneinander wegweisenden Enden der Halterungen 9 (Gegenpol).The same measure can also be provided in the guide or guides 7 on the inner container 3, but there the corresponding guide 7 towards the door 12 is preferably open in the axial direction, so that a tray 8 with its holder 9 is closed by the door Access opening can be inserted axially. The undercut groove legs 7.1 are provided at their ends facing the door 12 with insertion bevels 13, so that the sections of the holding means 9 which are formed directly on the respective shelf 8 are inserted between the groove legs 7.1 when they are attached. Corresponding bevels 9.1 serve the same purpose at the mutually pointing ends of the brackets 9 (opposite pole).

Corresponding bevels 9.1 serve the same purpose at the mutually pointing ends of the brackets 9 (opposite pole).

Die Ablage 8 kann als oben offene Schale ausgebildet sein, deren nach oben gerichtete Öffnungsebene 14 mittels eines Deckels 15 verschließbar ist. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, die Haltemittel 9 und die Führung 7 in ihrer Anordnung so aufeinander abzustimmen, daß die schalenförmige Ablage 8 mit ihrer Öffnungsebene 14 dicht unterhalb der Deckenwand 10 dem Innenbehälters 3 zu liegen kommt und daher keines besonderen Deckels bedarf.The shelf 8 can be designed as an open top shell, the upward opening plane 14 of which can be closed by means of a cover 15. However, it is also possible to coordinate the holding means 9 and the guide 7 in their arrangement so that the cup-shaped tray 8 with its opening plane 14 comes to lie just below the ceiling wall 10 of the inner container 3 and therefore does not require any special cover.

Gemäß Fig. 4 ist bei sonst gleichem Aufbau eine Führung 7 vorgesehen, die kürzer als die darunter als Gruppe angeordneten Führungen 5 ausgebildet ist. Dabei weist der obere Nutschenkel 7.1 auf seiner Oberseite in Fig. 4.1 ebenfalls eine plane, waagrechte Führungsbahn 6 auf, die eine an die Länge dieses Nutschenkels 7.1 angepaßte Ablageplatte 16 trägt, die insbesondere auf einer der entsprechenden Führungsbahn spiegelbildlich auf der gegenüberliegenden senkrechten Seitenwand 4 des Innenbehälters 3 angeordneten oberen Führungsbahn eines Führungsschenkels einer entsprechenden Führung 7 aufliegt. Der Abstand zwischen dem oberen Nutschenkel 7.1 und der Deckenwand 10 des Innenbehälters 3 kann dabei weitgehend auf die Dicke der Ablageplatte 16 reduziert sein. In dieser Lage ist diese verkürzte Ablageplatte 16 für die Aufnahme von Kühlgut nicht geeignet und wird daher nur zum Parken in diese Lage gebracht, wenn sie auf den Führungsleisten 5 nicht benötigt wird, um Raum für höheres Kühlgut bereitzustellen.4, a guide 7 is provided with otherwise the same structure, which is shorter than the guides 5 arranged below it as a group. 4.1 also has a flat, horizontal guideway 6 on its upper side in FIG Inner container 3 arranged upper guide track of a guide leg of a corresponding guide 7 rests. The distance between the upper grooved leg 7.1 and the top wall 10 of the inner container 3 can be largely reduced to the thickness of the storage plate 16. In this position, this shortened storage plate 16 is for recording of refrigerated goods is not suitable and is therefore only brought into this position for parking if it is not required on the guide strips 5 in order to provide space for higher refrigerated goods.
