Description

Haushaltsgerät mit Trägersystem Household appliance with carrier system
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein schrankartiges Haushaltsgerät, insbesondere einen Kühl- oder Gefrierschrank, mit einem Innenraum, in dem ein höhenverstellbares Trägersystem montiert ist. Ein solches Haushaltsgerät ist zum Beispiel aus DE 10 2004 058199 A1 bekannt. Das Trägersystem dieses Haushaltsgerätes umfasst eine mit einer Mehrzahl von Raststufen versehene vertikale Schiene und wenigstens einen Tragarm, der wenigstens einen in eine der Raststufen eingreifenden Vorsprung aufweist.The present invention relates to a cabinet-like household appliance, in particular a refrigerator or freezer, with an interior space in which a height-adjustable carrier system is mounted. Such a household appliance is known, for example, from DE 10 2004 058199 A1. The carrier system of this household appliance comprises a vertical rail provided with a plurality of latching steps and at least one support arm which has at least one projection engaging in one of the latching steps.
Ein Problem dieser Konstruktion ist, dass die Schiene durch die vom Tragarm übermittelte Last beträchtlichen Biegemomenten ausgesetzt ist und einer festen Verankerung an derA problem with this design is that the rail is subjected to considerable bending moments due to the load transmitted by the support arm, and that it is firmly anchored to the rail
Wand bedarf, um die auftretenden Lasten tragen zu können. Eine einfacheWall needs to be able to carry the loads occurring. A simple one
Schraubbefestigung der Schiene an der Wand wird als ästhetisch unbefriedigend empfunden, da die Köpfe der Schrauben im Innenraum sichtbar bleiben. Ziel der vorliegenden Erfindung ist daher, ein Haushaltsgerät der eingangs angegebenen Art zu schaffen, bei dem die vertikale Schiene fest, aber unsichtbar an der Wand verankert ist.Screw fastening the rail to the wall is perceived as aesthetically unsatisfactory because the heads of the screws remain visible in the interior. The aim of the present invention is therefore to provide a household appliance of the type specified, in which the vertical rail is firmly but invisibly anchored to the wall.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst, indem die Schiene ein durch wenigstens eine Schraube an der Wand unbeweglich gehaltenes Profilelement und eine Leiste umfasst, die in dem Profilelement zwischen einer Stellung, in der die Schraube durch eine an einer wandabgewandten Seite des Profilelementes gebildete Öffnung hindurch zugänglich ist, und einer Stellung, in der die Schraube hinter der Leiste verborgen ist, vertikal bewegbar ist.The object is achieved by the rail comprises a by at least one screw on the wall immovably held profile element and a bar in the profile element between a position in which the screw is accessible through an opening formed on a side facing away from the wall profile element , And a position in which the screw is hidden behind the bar, is vertically movable.
Wenn die Raststufen jeweils Durchbrüche sind, kann die Schraube durch einen der Durchbrüche hindurch zugänglich angeordnet sein, so dass sie auch dann, wenn sie nicht von der Leiste verdeckt ist, unauffällig platziert ist.If the latching steps are each breakthroughs, the screw can be arranged accessible through one of the apertures, so that even if it is not covered by the bar, it is placed inconspicuously.
Die Raststufen können in der verschiebbaren Leiste selbst gebildet sein.The latching steps can be formed in the sliding bar itself.
Wenn die Raststufen in einem Steg des Profilelementes gebildet sind, kann die Leiste zwischen der die Schiene haltenden Wand und dem Steg angeordnet sein. Einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung zufolge ist an einer der Wand zugewandten Seite des Profilelementes eine Öffnung gebildet, und das Profilelement ist an der Wand bei gelöster Schraube zwischen einer Stellung, in der ein Kopf der Schraube einen weiten Eingangsabschnitt der Öffnung passiert, und einer Stellung verschiebbar, in der der Kopf an einem engen Abschnitt der Öffnung gefangen ist. Dies erlaubt es, die Schrauben noch vor dem Profilelement an der Wand anzubringen und das Profilelement anschließend an den Schrauben aufzuhängen. Es müssen dann an der Vorderseite des Profilelementes keine Öffnungen vorhanden sein, die weit genug sind, um den Schraubenkopf durchzulassen.If the latching steps are formed in a web of the profile element, the strip between the rail holding wall and the web can be arranged. According to a preferred embodiment, an opening is formed on a side of the profile element facing the wall, and the profile element is displaceable on the wall with the screw loosened between a position in which a head of the screw passes a wide input portion of the opening, and a position the head is caught in a narrow section of the opening. This makes it possible to attach the screws before the profile element on the wall and then suspend the profile element to the screws. It must then be present on the front of the profile element no openings which are wide enough to pass the screw head.
Um die Aufhängung der Schiene möglichst unauffällig zu machen, weist vorzugsweise das Profilelement eine zu der die Öffnung aufweisenden Wand parallele Innenwand auf, die wiederum eine mit dem engen Abschnitt der Öffnung fluchtende Bohrung aufweist. Der weitere Abschnitt der Bohrung hingegen kann hinter der Wand verborgen bleiben.In order to make the suspension of the rail as inconspicuous as possible, preferably the profile element has a to the wall having the opening parallel inner wall, which in turn has an aligned with the narrow portion of the opening bore. The other part of the hole, on the other hand, can be hidden behind the wall.
Wenn darüber hinaus die Bohrung kleiner als der Kopf der Schraube selbst ist, ist auch der Schraubenkopf als solcher niemals vollständig sichtbar, sondern vorzugsweise lediglich eine Eingriffkontur der Schraube für ein Schraubwerkzeug, wie etwa ein Schlitz, ein Kreuzschlitz oder ein Innensechskant.Moreover, if the bore is smaller than the head of the screw itself, the screw head as such is never fully visible, but preferably only an engagement contour of the screw for a screwing tool, such as a slot, a Phillips or a hexagon socket.
Vorzugsweise sind die Raststufen unauffällig an einer Bodenfläche einer zum Innenraum hin offenen Nut angeordnet.Preferably, the latching steps are inconspicuously arranged on a bottom surface of a groove open towards the interior.
Diese Nut kann vorteilhafterweise hinterschnitten sein, und der Tragarm kann wenigstens einen in der hinterschnittenen Nut gefangenen Vorsprung aufweisen. So kann sich der Tragarm nicht ungewollt aus der Schiene lösen, und nach Lösen des Vorsprunges aus der Raststufe kann er bequem und sicher vertikal verschoben werden, wobei der Vorsprung in der hinterschnittenen Nut entlang gleitet.This groove can be advantageously undercut, and the support arm can have at least one caught in the undercut groove projection. Thus, the support arm can not unintentionally come off the rail, and after releasing the projection from the latching step, it can be moved vertically comfortably and safely, the projection slides in the undercut groove along.
Die vertikale Schiene kann an einer Tür des Haushaltsgerätes befestigt sein, wobei in diesem Fall der Tragarm zur Halterung eines Türabstellers dient; sie kann aber auch im Korpus des Haushaltsgerätes befestigt sein, um zur Halterung von Fachböden zu dienen. Vorzugsweise sind jeweils zwei vertikale Schienen und zwei zu einer starren Einheit verbundene Tragarme vorgesehen, die in jeweils eine der Schienen eingreifen. Wenn wenigstens eine der Schienen eine zum Innenraum offene vertikale Nut aufweist, in der sich eine Führungsvorsprung eines der Tragarme erstreckt, so vereinfacht dies das Beibehalten einer horizontalen Orientierung der Einheit beim Höhenverstellen, so dass, wenn eine gewünschte Höhe erreicht ist, die Vorsprünge beider Tragarme auf gleicher Höhe in Raststufen der Schiene eingreifen, ohne dass es hierfür besonderer Achtsamkeit seitens eines Benutzers bedarf.The vertical rail may be attached to a door of the household appliance, in which case the support arm is used to hold a door compartment; but it can also be mounted in the body of the household appliance to serve for holding shelves. Preferably, two vertical rails and two connected to a rigid unit supporting arms are provided, which engage in each one of the rails. When at least one of the rails has a vertical groove open to the interior, in which extends a guide projection of one of the support arms, this simplifies maintaining a horizontal orientation of the unit in height adjustment, so that when a desired height is reached, the projections of both support arms intervene at the same level in latching steps of the rail, without requiring special attention on the part of a user for this purpose.
Wenn die Wand des Haushaltsgeräts in an sich bekannter Weise eine Außenhaut, einen Innenbehälter und eine dazwischen liegende Isolationsmaterialschicht umfasst, ist der Innenbehälter vorzugsweise in Höhe der Schraube durch eine zwischen Innenbehälter und Isolationsmaterialschicht angeordnete und daher von außen nicht sichtbare Platte versteift.If the wall of the household appliance comprises in a manner known per se an outer skin, an inner container and an insulation material layer lying therebetween, the inner container is preferably stiffened at the level of the screw by a plate arranged between inner container and insulating material layer and therefore not visible from the outside.
Die Platte kann eine höhere Wandstärke und/oder Belastbarkeit als der Innenbehälter selbst haben. Daher kann es zweckmäßig sein, ein die Schraube haltendes Gewinde an der Platte selbst vorzusehen.The plate may have a higher wall thickness and / or load capacity than the inner container itself. Therefore, it may be appropriate to provide a screw holding thread on the plate itself.
Gegenstand der Erfindung ist ferner ein Verfahren zur Montage eines Haushaltsgeräts der oben beschriebenen Art. Das Verfahren hat die Schritte a) Zusammenfügen einer Außenwand und eines Innenbehälters zu einem hohlwandigen Gerätekorpus, wobei der Innenbehälter wenigstens eine mit einem Schraubgewinde versehene Öffnung aufweist; b) Platzieren einer Schraube in der Öffnung; c) Ausschäumen der Hohlwand des Gerätekorpus; d) Platzieren der Schiene und Befestigen der Schiene durch Festziehen der Schraube in der Öffnung.The invention also relates to a method for assembling a household appliance of the type described above. The method comprises the steps of a) joining an outer wall and an inner container to a hollow-walled appliance body, wherein the inner container has at least one screw-threaded opening; b) placing a screw in the opening; c) foaming the hollow wall of the device body; d) Placing the rail and securing the rail by tightening the screw in the opening.
Indem in der Schraubgewindeöffnung die Schraube vor dem Ausschäumen platziert wird, wird die Öffnung abgedichtet, und es kann kein Schaum austreten. Es sind daher keine Hinterlegteile am Innenbehälter erforderlich, um den Schaum von der Öffnung fern zu halten. Um die Öffnung zuverlässig dicht zu machen, wird die Schraube vorzugsweise vor dem Schritt c) in der Öffnung festgezogen. Sie muss dann anschließend wieder zeitweilig entfernt oder zumindest gelockert werden, um die Schiene platzieren zu können.By placing the screw in the screw thread opening prior to foaming, the opening is sealed and no foam can escape. There are therefore no Hinterlegteile the inner container required to keep the foam away from the opening. To reliably seal the opening, the screw is preferably tightened in the opening prior to step c). It must then be temporarily removed again or at least loosened to place the rail can.

Der in Fig. 1 teilweise aufgebrochen gezeigte Kältegerätekorpus 1 umfasst in an sich bekannter Weise eine aus festen Elementen wie etwa Blechzuschnitten zusammengefügte Außenhaut 2 und einen Innenbehälter 3, die mit isolierendem Schaummaterial ausgefüllte Wände 4, 5 begrenzen. An der Rückwand 5 sind im Innenbehälter 3 zwei vertikale Nuten 12 (siehe Fig. 2) gebildet, die sich über die gesamte Höhe des Innenraumes erstrecken und in die im Querschnitt rechteckige, hohle Trägerschienen 6 eingefügt sind. In die Trägerschienen 6 sind Tragarme 10 eingehakt, die, wie in Fig. 1 angedeutet, lose aufliegende Fachböden 13 tragen können oder jeweils zu zweit mit einem Fachböden zu einer starren Einheit integriert sein können,The refrigeration device body 1 shown partially broken in Fig. 1 comprises in a conventional manner an assembled from solid elements such as sheet metal blanks outer skin 2 and an inner container 3, the walls filled with insulating foam material 4, 5 limit. On the rear wall 5, two vertical grooves 12 (see FIG. 2) are formed in the inner container 3, which extend over the entire height of the inner space and are inserted into the rectangular cross-section, hollow support rails 6. In the support rails 6 support arms 10 are hooked, which, as indicated in Figure 1, can carry loose-lying shelves 13 or can be integrated into a rigid unit in pairs with a shelf,
Fig. 2 zeigt einen horizontalen Schnitt durch eine der Trägerschienen 6 entlang einer Ebene oberhalb eines in die Trägerschiene 6 eingehängten Tragarmes 10 sowie durch die die Trägerschiene 6 aufnehmende Nut 12 des Innenbehälters 3. Wie in dieser Fig. gezeigt, umfassen die beiden Trägerschienen 6 jeweils ein Außenprofil 7 von in etwa C- förmigem Querschnitt, wobei die offene Seite des C-Profils dem Innenraum des Korpus 1 zugewandt ist, sowie eine Leiste 8, die in zwei einander zugewandten Nuten der Schenkel des Außenprofils 7 vertikal verschiebbar geführt ist. Die Leiste 8 ist in regelmäßigen Abständen mit Durchbrüchen 9 versehen, von denen einer in dem Schnitt der Fig. 2 gezeigt ist.2 shows a horizontal section through one of the support rails 6 along a plane above a support arm 10 suspended in the support rail 6 and through the groove 12 of the inner container 3 receiving the support rail 6. As shown in this figure, the two support rails 6 each comprise an outer profile 7 of approximately C-shaped cross-section, wherein the open side of the C-profile faces the interior of the body 1, and a bar 8 which is guided vertically displaceably in two mutually facing grooves of the legs of the outer profile 7. The strip 8 is provided at regular intervals with openings 9, one of which is shown in the section of Fig. 2.
Ein fragmentarisch in Draufsicht gezeigter Tragarm 10 ist mit zwei Haken 17 versehen, die in andere, tiefer liegende Durchbrüche 9 der Leiste 8 eingreifen.A fragmentary in plan view shown support arm 10 is provided with two hooks 17, which engage in other, deeper openings 9 of the strip 8.
Während sich das Außenprofil 7 über die gesamte Höhe des Innenbehälters 3 erstreckt, ist die Leiste 8 geringfügig kürzer. Wie in der Frontalansicht des oberen Bereiches der Trägerschiene 6 in Fig. 3 zu sehen, reicht die Leiste 8 nicht bis ans obere Ende des Außenprofils 7 heran. Daher ist die Leiste 8 in dem Außenprofil 7 vertikal verschiebbar und kann in eine Stellung angehoben werden, in der eine das Außenprofil 7 an der Rückwand 5 des Korpus 1 verankernde Schraube 11 , die in Fig. 3, weil von der Leiste 8 verdeckt, gestrichelt dargestellt ist, durch einen der Durchbrüche 9 hindurch zugänglich ist. Die Schraube 1 1 hat einen Kopfdurchmesser, der geringfügig kleiner als die Abmessungen der Durchbrüche 9 ist, so dass, wenn die Schiene 8 geeignet angehoben ist, die Schraube 11 durch den Durchbruch 9 ins Innere der Trägerschiene 6 eingeführt und in ein rückseitiges Schraubloch eingeführt werden kann, um dadurch die Trägerschiene 6 an der Rückwand 5 zu verankern.While the outer profile 7 extends over the entire height of the inner container 3, the bar 8 is slightly shorter. As can be seen in the frontal view of the upper region of the carrier rail 6 in Fig. 3, the bar 8 does not reach to the upper end of the outer profile 7 zoom. Therefore, the bar 8 is vertically displaceable in the outer profile 7 and can be raised to a position in which an outer profile 7 anchored to the rear wall 5 of the body 1 screw 11, which is shown in Fig. 3, because of the bar 8, shown in phantom, through one of the apertures 9 is accessible , The screw 1 1 has a head diameter which is slightly smaller than the dimensions of the apertures 9, so that when the rail 8 is properly raised, the screw 11 is inserted through the opening 9 inside the support rail 6 and inserted into a back screw hole can, in order to anchor the support rail 6 to the rear wall 5.
Im Allgemeinen ist eine Mehrzahl von Schrauben 1 1 an jeder Trägerschiene 6 vorgesehen, um sie an mehreren über ihre Höhe verteilten Punkten an der Rückwand 5 zu fixieren, so dass sich nicht Teile der Trägerschiene 6 aufgrund des von darin eingehängten Tragarmen 10 ausgeübten Drehmomentes vorwölben und über die Innenfläche der Rückwand 5 vorspringen.In general, a plurality of screws 1 1 provided on each support rail 6 to fix them at a plurality of points distributed over its height on the rear wall 5, so that not bulge parts of the support rail 6 due to the force exerted by supporting arms 10 torque and projecting beyond the inner surface of the rear wall 5.
Die Schraublöcher an der Rückseite des Außenprofils 7 sind so positioniert, dass sie jeweils nur bei angehobener Leiste 8 zugänglich sind, wohingegen in abgesenkter Stellung der Leiste 8, wenn diese an einem unteren Ende der Trägerschiene 6 abgestützt ist, die Schraublöcher mit den darin angebrachten Schrauben 11 hinter der Leiste 8 verborgen sind.The screw holes on the back of the outer profile 7 are positioned so that they are accessible only when raised bar 8, whereas in the lowered position of the bar 8, when it is supported on a lower end of the support rail 6, the screw holes with the screws mounted therein 11 are hidden behind the bar 8.
Die Tragarme 10 eines Fachbodens 13 können als jeweils getrennt voneinander in die Trägerschienen 6 einhängbare Elemente ausgeführt sein, die sich über einen Großteil der Tiefe des Innenbehälters 3 erstrecken, so dass der Fachboden 13 lose darauf aufgelegt werden kann, wie in der Darstellung der Fig. 1 angedeutet.The support arms 10 of a shelf 13 can be designed as each separately suspended in the carrier rails 6 elements that extend over a majority of the depth of the inner container 3, so that the shelf 13 can be loosely placed on it, as in the illustration of FIG. 1 indicated.
Einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung zufolge stellen die Tragarme 10, wie in Fig. 2 gezeigt, gleichzeitig Längsstreben eines aus zwei Längsstreben und zwei Querstreben 15 gebildeten Rahmens 14 dar, in dem eine Trägerplatte 16, zum Beispiel eine Scheibe aus Sicherheitsglas, eingefasst ist. Die Fig. zeigt jeweils Bruchstücke der hinteren Querstrebe 15, der linken Längsstrebe 10 sowie der Trägerplatte 16.According to a preferred embodiment, the support arms 10, as shown in Fig. 2, at the same time longitudinal struts of a frame formed of two longitudinal struts and two cross members 15 frame 14, in which a support plate 16, for example, a pane of safety glass, is enclosed. The figure shows fragments of the rear cross member 15, the left longitudinal member 10 and the support plate 16, respectively.
Fig. 4 zeigt in einer perspektivischen Ansicht eine bevorzugte Weiterbildung der Trägerschiene 6. Diese Trägerschiene 6 ist im Querschnitt identisch mit der in Fig. 2 gezeigten. An einer Rückseite des Außenprofils 7 sind Schraublöcher 18 von schlüssellochähnlicher Gestalt gebildet, die jeweils einen weiten unteren Abschnitt 19 und einen engeren oberen Abschnitt 20 aufweisen. Der untere Abschnitt 19 ist so bemessen, dass ein Kopf der zur Befestigung der Trägerschiene 6 am Korpus 1 dienenden Schrauben 11 ihn frei passieren kann, wohingegen der engere Abschnitt 20 bemessen ist, um lediglich einen Schaft der Schraube 11 passieren zu lassen. Die Trägerschiene 6 ist geringfügig kürzer als die sie aufnehmende Nut 12 an der Rückwand 5 des Korpus 1. Dadurch ist es möglich, die Trägerschiene 6 zu montieren, indem zunächst die Schrauben 1 1 in der Rückwand 5 eingeschraubt werden, anschließend die Trägerschiene 6 über die Schrauben 11 gestülpt wird, so dass deren Köpfe jeweils den unteren Abschnitt 19 der Schraublöcher 18 passieren, und anschließend die nun in der Nut 12 der Rückwand 5 einliegende Trägerschiene 6 abgesenkt wird, so dass die Schäfte der Schrauben 1 1 in die engeren Abschnitte 20 der Schraublöcher 18 einrücken. In dieser Stellung wird wiederum die Leiste 8 angehoben, um die Köpfe der Schrauben 1 1 zugänglich zu machen, und die Schrauben 1 1 werden mit Hilfe eines durch einen der Durchbrüche 9 eingeführten Werkzeuges festgezogen. Da bei dieser Variante die Schrauben 11 nicht selbst die Durchbrüche 9 passieren müssen, können die Durchbrüche 9 schmaler gemacht werden, und auch die Breite des Zwischenraumes zwischen den zwei die Leiste 8 führenden Schenkeln des Außenprofils 7 kann enger gemacht werden als bei der Ausgestaltung der Fig. 2, was die Belastbarkeit der Trägerschiene 6 verbessert.FIG. 4 shows in a perspective view a preferred development of the carrier rail 6. This carrier rail 6 is identical in cross-section to that in FIG. 2 shown. On a rear side of the outer profile 7 screw holes 18 are formed of keyhole-like shape, each having a wide lower portion 19 and a narrower upper portion 20. The lower portion 19 is dimensioned so that a head of serving for fastening the support rail 6 on the body 1 screws 11 can pass him freely, whereas the narrower portion 20 is dimensioned to pass only a shaft of the screw 11. The support rail 6 is slightly shorter than the receiving groove 12 on the rear wall 5 of the body 1. This makes it possible to mount the support rail 6 by first the screws 1 1 are screwed into the rear wall 5, then the support rail 6 on the Screws 11 is slipped so that their heads pass through the lower portion 19 of the screw holes 18, and then the now in the groove 12 of the rear wall 5 inset carrier rail 6 is lowered, so that the shafts of the screws 1 1 in the narrower portions 20 of Engage screw holes 18. In this position, in turn, the bar 8 is raised to make the heads of the screws 1 1 accessible, and the screws 1 1 are tightened by means of an inserted through one of the apertures 9 tool. Since in this variant, the screws 11 do not have to pass through the openings 9 themselves, the openings 9 can be made narrower, and also the width of the gap between the two strips 8 leading the legs of the outer profile 7 can be made narrower than in the embodiment of FIG 2, which improves the load capacity of the carrier rail 6.
Fig. 5 zeigt einen horizontalen Schnitt durch eine Trägerschiene 6 und ein Stück des Innenbehälters 3, an dem sie montiert ist, gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung. Ein Außenprofil 7 der Trägerschiene 6 hat hier zwei parallele Seitenwände 21 , die miteinander durch einen Quersteg 22 H-förmig verbunden sind. In dem Quersteg 22 sind in regelmäßigen Abständen Durchbrüche 9 zum Aufnehmen von Haken eines in der Figur nicht dargestellten Tragarmes 10 gebildet. Der Quersteg 22 bildet die Bodenfläche einer zum Innenraum hin offenen, hinterschnittenen Nut 23. Eine zweite hinterschnittene Nut 24 ist an der vom Innenraum abgewandten Seite des Quersteges 22 vorgesehen.Fig. 5 shows a horizontal section through a support rail 6 and a piece of the inner container 3, to which it is mounted, according to another embodiment of the invention. An outer profile 7 of the support rail 6 here has two parallel side walls 21, which are connected to each other by a transverse web 22 H-shaped. In the transverse web 22 breakthroughs 9 are formed for receiving hooks of a supporting arm 10, not shown in the figure at regular intervals. The transverse web 22 forms the bottom surface of an undercut groove 23 which is open towards the interior. A second undercut groove 24 is provided on the side of the transverse web 22 facing away from the interior.
Ein dem Innenbehälter 3 zugewandter Eingangsspalt 25 der Nut 24 hat eine solche Breite, dass zwar ein Schaft, nicht aber ein Kopf einer Befestigungsschraube 11 passieren kann. Lediglich stellenweise sind am Eingangsspalt 25 in Fig. 5 durch gestrichelte Begrenzungslinien angedeutete Aufweitungen 26 geschaffen, die wie der untere Abschnitt 19 der Öffnung 18 in Fig. 4 breit genug sind, um auch einen Schraubenkopf durchzulassen. Dadurch ist es möglich, die Trägerschiene 6 der Fig. 5 in gleicher Weise an der Rückwand 5 zu montieren, wie oben für die Ausgestaltung der Fig. 4 beschrieben.A the inner container 3 facing the entrance gap 25 of the groove 24 has such a width, that although a shaft, but not a head of a fastening screw 11 can happen. Only in places are provided at the entrance slit 25 in Fig. 5 indicated by dashed boundary lines widenings 26, which like the lower portion 19 of the opening 18 in Fig. 4 are wide enough to pass a screw head. This makes it possible to mount the carrier rail 6 of FIG. 5 in the same way on the rear wall 5, as described above for the embodiment of FIG. 4.
In den zwei Seitenwänden 21 ist ein Paar von sich gegenüberliegenden Schlitzen gebildet, in denen eine schmale Leiste 27 vertikal verschiebbar geführt ist. Die Leiste 27 teilt das Innere der Nut 24 in einen die Köpfe der Schrauben 11 aufnehmenden hinteren Bereich und einen vorderen Bereich, der die durch die Durchbrüche 9 hindurchreichenden Haken von Tragarmen 10 aufnimmt.In the two side walls 21, a pair of opposing slots is formed, in which a narrow bar 27 is guided vertically displaceable. The strip 27 divides the interior of the groove 24 in a the heads of the screws 11 receiving rear portion and a front portion which receives the passing through the apertures 9 hooks of support arms 10.
Die Leiste 27 ist mit einer Mehrzahl von Löchern 28 versehen, die in einer abgesenkten Stellung der Leiste 27 jeweils knapp unterhalb eines Durchbruches 9 des Quersteges 22 liegen und dadurch vom Innenraum des Kältegerätes her nicht sichtbar sind. Die Leiste 27 ist jedoch in eine Stellung anhebbar, in der die Löcher 28 jeweils mit einem der Durchbrüche 9 fluchten und durch diesen Durchbruch 9 und das entsprechende Loch 28 der Kopf einer dahinterliegenden Schraube 1 1 für ein Werkzeug zugänglich ist, um die Trägerschiene 6 an dem Innenbehälter 3 zu befestigen oder sie zu lösen. Bei normalem Gebrauch des Kältegerätes liegen jeweils geschlossene Bereiche der Leiste 27 vor den Schrauben 11 , so dass keine von ihnen sichtbar ist.The strip 27 is provided with a plurality of holes 28 which lie in a lowered position of the strip 27 respectively just below an opening 9 of the cross bar 22 and are therefore not visible from the interior of the refrigerator forth. However, the strip 27 can be raised to a position in which the holes 28 are each aligned with one of the openings 9 and through this opening 9 and the corresponding hole 28, the head of an underlying screw 1 1 is accessible to a tool to the support rail 6 at to fix the inner container 3 or to solve them. In normal use of the refrigerator are each closed areas of the bar 27 in front of the screws 11, so that none of them is visible.
Die in den Figuren 2 und 5 dargestellten Trägerschienen 6 können, wie bereits angegeben, am Korpus 1 des Kältegerätes montiert sein, um daran Tragarme 10 für Fachböden aufzuhängen; genauso können sie aber auch an der Innenseite einer Tür des Kältegerätes montiert sein, um daran Türabsteller aufzuhängen, wie in Figuren 6 und 7 gezeigt.The support rails 6 shown in Figures 2 and 5 may, as already stated, be mounted on the body 1 of the refrigerator to hang thereon support arms 10 for shelves; but they can also be mounted on the inside of a door of the refrigerator to hang on it door racks, as shown in Figures 6 and 7.
Fig. 6 ist ein vertikaler Schnitt durch die Schiene 6 der Fig. 5, wobei ein an der Schiene aufgehängter Tragarm 10 und der von diesem gehaltene Türabsteller 29 in einer Seitenansicht gezeigt sind. Die in den zwei Trägerschienen 6 der Tür 30 eingreifenden Tragarme 10 sind hier jeweils starr mit einem rechteckigen Rahmen 31 verbunden, in den ein aus Kunststoff spritzgeformter Kasten 32 von oben lose eingehängt ist, um den Türabsteller zu bilden. Eine umlaufende Krempe 33 des Kastens liegt auf dem Rahmen 31 auf. Die Tragarme 10 umfassen jeweils einen im Querschnitt T-förmigen Führungskörper 34 mit einem außen an der Trägerschiene 6 anliegenden Querbalken 35 und einer mittig von dem Querbalken 35 abstehenden, in die Nut 23 der Trägerschiene 6 eingreifenden Rippe 36. An einem oberen Ende der Rippe 36 sind in entgegengesetzte Richtungen abstehende Zapfen 37 geformt, die jeweils in die Hinterschneidungen der Nut 23 eingreifen. Von einem unteren Ende der Rippe 36 steht ein in einen Durchbruch 9 des Quersteges 22 eingreifender Haken 38 ab.Fig. 6 is a vertical section through the rail 6 of Fig. 5, wherein a suspended on the rail support arm 10 and held by this door racks 29 are shown in a side view. The engaging in the two support rails 6 of the door 30 support arms 10 are here each rigidly connected to a rectangular frame 31, in which a molded plastic box 32 is hung loosely from above to form the door racks. A circumferential brim 33 of the box rests on the frame 31. The support arms 10 each comprise a cross-sectionally T-shaped guide body 34 with an externally applied to the support rail 6 crossbar 35 and a centrally projecting from the crossbar 35, engaging in the groove 23 of the support rail 6 rib 36. At an upper end of the rib 36th are formed in opposite directions projecting pins 37 which engage respectively in the undercuts of the groove 23. From a lower end of the rib 36 is an engaging in an opening 9 of the crosspiece 22 hook 38 is from.
Um die Höhe des Türabstellers 29 zu ändern, genügt es, die Einheit aus Rahmen 31 und Tragarmen 10 geringfügig anzuheben und bezogen auf Fig. 6 im Gegenuhrzeigersinn zu schwenken, so dass die zwei Haken 38 aus den Durchbrüchen 9 freikommen, während die Zapfen 37 in der Nut 23 gefangen bleiben. Wenn beim Schwenken darauf geachtet wird, dass wenigstens die Haken 38 die Nuten 23 nicht verlassen, ist es aufgrund der starren Verbindung zwischen den Tragarmen 10 über den Rahmen 31 nicht möglicht, einen der Tragarme 10 nennenswert stärker anzuheben oder abzusenken als den anderen. Ein Verkanten des Türabstellers 29 beim Ändern von dessen Höhe ist dadurch weitgehend ausgeschlossen.In order to change the height of the door compartment 29, it is sufficient to slightly raise the unit of frame 31 and support arms 10 and to pivot with respect to FIG. 6 in the counterclockwise direction, so that the two hooks 38 come out of the openings 9, while the pins 37 in the groove 23 remain trapped. If care is taken during pivoting that at least the hooks 38 do not leave the grooves 23, it is not possible due to the rigid connection between the support arms 10 via the frame 31 to raise or lower one of the support arms 10 appreciably stronger than the other. Tilting the door compartment 29 when changing the height is thereby largely excluded.
Wie in Fig. 6 gezeigt, können die Zapfen 37 einen unrunden Querschnitt haben. Denkbar ist, die Zapfen 37 in vertikaler Richtung so stark zu verlängern, dass sie die Schwenkbewegungsfreiheit der Einheit von Rahmen 31 und Tragarmen 10 so stark einschränken, dass die Haken 38 die Nuten 23 nicht mehr verlassen können. Dem gleichen Zweck könnten auch mehrere an einer gleichen Seite der Rippen 36 angeordnete Zapfen oder auf entgegengesetzten Seiten gegeneinander höhenversetzte Zapfen, wie in Fig. 6 durch einen gestrichelten Umriss 37' angedeutet, dienen.As shown in Fig. 6, the pins 37 may have a non-circular cross-section. It is conceivable to extend the pin 37 in the vertical direction so strong that they restrict the pivoting freedom of the unit of frame 31 and support arms 10 so strong that the hooks 38, the grooves 23 can not leave. For the same purpose, a plurality of pins arranged on the same side of the ribs 36 or on opposite sides offset from one another could serve as pins, as indicated in FIG. 6 by a dashed outline 37 '.
Fig. 8 zeigt den Querschnitt einer Trägerschiene 6, die das mit Bezug auf Fig. 4 beschriebene Prinzip abermals weiterbildet. Die Trägerschiene 6 hat einen Grundkörper in Form eines Vierkantprofils 40, das vorgesehen ist, um am Boden einer Nut in einer Wand des Kältegeräts angebracht zu werden und von dem an einer seiner vier Wände, mit 44 bezeichnet, zwei eine zum Innenraum des Kältegeräts hin offene Nut 23 begrenzende Schenkel 41 abstehen. Die Schenkel 41 haben einen mehrfach abgewinkelten Verlauf und begrenzen von der Nut 23 abzweigende Hinterschneidungen 42, die vorgesehen sind, um einen mit Durchbrüchen 9 versehenen Steg 8, wie in Fig. 4 gezeigt, vertikal verschiebbar aufzunehmen.FIG. 8 shows the cross section of a carrier rail 6, which further develops the principle described with reference to FIG. 4. The support rail 6 has a base body in the form of a square profile 40, which is provided to be mounted on the bottom of a groove in a wall of the refrigerator and of which at one of its four walls, designated 44, two open to the interior of the refrigerator Groove 23 delimiting legs 41 protrude. The legs 41 have a multiple angled course and limit of the groove 23 branching undercuts 42, which are provided to receive a perforations 9 provided with webs 8, as shown in Fig. 4, vertically displaceable.
An einer von den Schenkeln 41 abgewandten Rückwand 45 des Vierkantprofils 40 sind schlüssellochförmige Öffnungen 18 vertikal verteilt. Jeder schlüssellochförmigen Öffnung 18 entspricht eine Bohrung 43 in der vorderen Wand 44 des Vierkantprofils 40, am Boden der Nut 23 zwischen den Schenkeln 41.At one of the legs 41 facing away from the rear wall 45 of the square profile 40 keyhole-shaped openings 18 are distributed vertically. Each keyhole-shaped opening 18 corresponds to a bore 43 in the front wall 44 of the square profile 40, at the bottom of the groove 23 between the legs 41st
Fig. 9 zeigt ein Bruchstück der Trägerschiene 6, gesehen von der Rückseite her, in Höhe einer der schlüssellochförmigen Öffnungen 18. Die Bohrung 43 in der Vorderwand des Vierkantprofils 40 befindet sich in Höhe des engeren Abschnitts 20 der Öffnung 18; in Höhe des weiteren Abschnitts 19 der Öffnung 18 ist die vordere Wand 44 geschlossen. Eine Schraube, die durch den Abschnitt 19 hindurch von hinten in die Öffnung 18 eingeführt wird, wird daher erst dann von vorn her sichtbar, wenn sie in den engeren Abschnitt 20 einrückt und ihr Kopf in Höhe der Bohrung 43 gelangt. Die Bohrung 43 ist hier geringfügig enger als der engere Abschnitt 20 der Öffnung 18, so dass auch wenn die Schraube exakt auf die Bohrung 43 ausgerichtet ist, niemals ihr ganzer Kopf durch die Bohrung 43 sichtbar ist, sondern allenfalls eine Kontur des Schraubenkopfes, an der ein Werkzeug zum Drehen der Schraube in Angriff gebracht werden kann.Fig. 9 shows a fragment of the support rail 6, seen from the back, in the amount of one of the keyhole-shaped openings 18. The bore 43 in the front wall of the square profile 40 is located at the level of the narrower portion 20 of the opening 18; at the level of the further portion 19 of the opening 18, the front wall 44 is closed. A screw which is inserted through the portion 19 from behind into the opening 18, therefore, only from the front visible when it engages in the narrower portion 20 and its head reaches the level of the bore 43. The bore 43 is here slightly narrower than the narrower portion 20 of the opening 18, so that even if the screw is exactly aligned with the bore 43, never their entire head through the bore 43 is visible, but at most a contour of the screw head, on the a tool for turning the screw can be attacked.
Fig. 10 zeigt eine perspektivische Ansicht eines Bruchstücks des Innenbehälters 3. Der Innenbehälter 3 ist hier aus mehreren Blechen zusammengefügt, einem Seitenwandblech 46, das unter Ausbildung mehrerer Stufen eine Seitenwand 48 und einen zur Rückwand des Innenbehälters 3 parallelen Boden 49 einer vertikalen Nut 47 bildet, und ein Rückwandblech 50, das zweimal abgewinkelt ist, um eine zweite Seitenwand 51 der Nut 47 und einen mit dem Boden 49 zum Beispiel durch Punktschweißung verbundene Befestigungslasche 52 zu bilden. Eine Öffnung 53 im Boden 49 ist vorgesehen, um eine Schraube aufzunehmen.10 shows a perspective view of a fragment of the inner container 3. The inner container 3 is here composed of a plurality of sheets, a side wall plate 46, which forms a side wall 48 and a parallel to the rear wall of the inner container 3 bottom 49 of a vertical groove 47 to form a plurality of stages , and a back plate 50 which is angled twice to form a second sidewall 51 of the groove 47 and a fastening tab 52 connected to the bottom 49, for example by spot welding. An opening 53 in the bottom 49 is provided to receive a screw.
Wie Fig. 1 1 zeigt, greift in einer späteren Phase des Zusammenbaus des Kältegeräts die Schraube 1 1 durch die Öffnung 53 hindurch in ein Gewinde eines Versteifungsbügels 54 ein, der sich im wesentlichen über die gesamte Breite der Rückwand des Innenbehälters 3 erstreckt und an seinen Enden zwei abgewinkelte Laschen 55 trägt, die jeweils die von den Seitenwandblechen 46 gebildeten Seitenwände 48 der symmetrisch benachbart zu beiden Seitenwänden des Innenbehälters 3 gebildeten Nuten 47 umgreift. Fig. 1 1 zeigt die Schraube 1 1 in einer teilweise eingedrehten Stellung; sie wird bis zum Kontakt ihres Kopfes mit dem Boden 49 eingeschraubt, um die Öffnung 51 vollständig abzudichten und den Versteifungsbügel 52 fest gegen die Rückwand gepresst zu halten.As shown in FIG. 1 1, engages in a later stage of assembly of the refrigerator, the screw 1 1 through the opening 53 through a thread of a stiffening bracket 54 which extends substantially over the entire width of the rear wall of the inner container 3 and to its Ends two angled tabs 55 carries, each of which formed by the side wall panels 46 side walls 48 of symmetrically adjacent to both side walls of the inner container 3 formed grooves 47 engages. Fig. 1 1 shows the screw 1 1 in a partially screwed position; it is screwed to the contact of her head with the bottom 49 to completely seal the opening 51 and keep the stiffening bracket 52 firmly pressed against the rear wall.
Anschließend wird der von dem Innenbehälter 3 und der Außenhaut 2 begrenzte Hohlraum ausgeschäumt. Da die Schraube den Versteifungsbügel 52 eng und dicht gegen den Boden 49 gepresst hält, kann die Öffnung einen größeren Durchmesser als der Schaft der Schraube haben, ohne dass dies zu Abdichtungsproblemen führt.Subsequently, the limited of the inner container 3 and the outer skin 2 cavity is filled with foam. Since the screw keeps the stiffening bracket 52 tightly pressed against the bottom 49, the opening may have a larger diameter than the shaft of the screw without resulting in sealing problems.
Nach dem Ausschäumen und Abbinden des Schaumstoffmaterials kann die Schraube 11 gelockert oder gar zeitweilig entfernt werden, da der Versteifungsbügel 52 durch den Schaum fixiert ist. Im Falle der in Fig. 4 beziehungsweise 8 gezeigten Trägerschienen 6 genügt es, die Schraube 11 so weit zu lockern, dass eine der schlüssellochförmigen Öffnungen 18 über die Schraube 1 1 gestülpt werden und anschließend die Trägerschiene 6 vertikal verschoben werden kann, um die Schraube 11 in dem engeren Abschnitt 20 der Öffnung 18 in Eingriff zu bringen. Im Falle der Trägerschiene von Fig. 8 wird, sobald die Trägerschiene 6 ihre vorgesehene Stellung in der Nut 47 erreicht hat, der Kopf der Schraube 11 durch die Bohrung 43 hindurch zugänglich, so dass nur in dieser Stellung die Schraube 1 1 angezogen und die Trägerschiene 6 fixiert werden kann. After foaming and setting of the foam material, the screw 11 can be loosened or even temporarily removed, since the stiffening bracket 52 is fixed by the foam. In the case of the carrier rails 6 shown in Fig. 4 and 8, it is sufficient to loosen the screw 11 so far that one of the keyhole-shaped openings 18 are slipped over the screw 1 1 and then the support rail 6 can be moved vertically to the screw 11th in the narrower portion 20 of the opening 18 into engagement. In the case of the support rail of Fig. 8, as soon as the support rail 6 has reached its intended position in the groove 47, the head of the screw 11 accessible through the bore 43, so that attracted only in this position, the screw 1 1 and the support rail 6 can be fixed.
