Definitions
- the present invention relates to a refrigerator, comprising a body which defines an interior space, a door, on the inner side facing the inside latching means are arranged, a door rack with counter-latching means, a Raststoffan extract in a corresponding formation of latching means and counter-latching means for gradually height adjustment of the door compartment in several Detent positions, as well as an unlocking means for releasing a current detent position of the door compartment.
- a generic refrigerator is in DE 85 17 976 U1 described.
- the refrigerator door described therein has on the inside of height-adjustable arranged storage container, which are arranged removably between protruding from the inside of the door vertical bars on rack-like notches.
- the in their rear area with laterally projecting claws hooked into a groove in the flanks of the spars storage container can be adjusted in height according to stepwise on its rear side locking lugs of the pitch of the notches.
- the refrigerator door should be easy to produce on the one hand and on the other hand, a slight adjustment of the altitude of the storage container arranged on its inside are possible.
- the publication DE 19 633 978 A1 discloses a refrigerator according to the preamble of claim 1, and shows a door for a household refrigerator with a introduced between an outer and an inner lining heat insulating layer and arranged on its inner lining retaining elements for releasably holding door storage compartments.
- the publication DE 3 618 252 A1 shows a device for fixing two relatively displaceable or displaceable parts.
- the object of the invention is to provide a refrigeration device, in which a height adjustment of the door compartment is reliably prevented when the unlocking means unactuated.
- the door racks can latch on locking strips of the refrigerator door, wherein locking means are provided which hold the door racks in the current position on the locking strip.
- the locking means according to the invention or also referred to as unlocking serve to lock the counter-locking means in their locking positions, so that the counter-locking means can not slip out of the locking means even at high forces acting on them. This is particularly important if the contours of locking means and counter-locking means are designed such that no self-locking can occur.
- latching noses and latching niches which have a circular arc-shaped contour
- transverse forces can be induced by the weight of the door compartment and the refrigerated goods parked at the contact surfaces of latching lug and latching niche, which press the latching lug out of the latching niche, ie into the housing of the counter-latching means could.
- a bolt which can be set in the displacement of the counter-locking means, or the Rasnase, so that the counter-locking means, or the Rasnase can not be undesirably pushed out of the latching means or the latching niche.
- the actuating means of the unlocking means are to be pressed so that the latch release the adjustment of the counter-locking means, or the Rasnasen and the door rack can be moved.
- the counter-locking means therefore has a bolt which, when the unlocking means are not actuated, is in the position between a locking position and a release position lying adjustment of the counter-locking means is set and prevents movement of the locking lug out of the detent niche out.
- the counter-locking means according to the invention can be integrally formed and stored in a housing.
- This separate housing of the counter-locking means may have a first opening through which protrudes the locking lug and having a second opening, in particular a lower second opening through which an actuating means of the unlocking means protrudes.
- the actuating means forms a control button for releasing the locking latch.
- the locking lug remains in the locked position due to a resilient bias, i.
- the Rasnase initially remains in the detention niche. By moving up or down the door compartment, a force is generated which pushes the lawn nose out of the latching niche. Due to an example. Arc-shaped or wedge-shaped contour, the Rasnase is pushed out of the detent niche when it slides along a latching web between two rhinos along. When you skip a locking bar is generated by re-snapping the locking lug in the new detent niche due to the elastic bias a clearly audible clicking sound. This clicking sound gives the user an acoustic indication of the adjustment movement of the door compartment and the renewed secure locking of the latching means arrangement. By the pressed back into the housing locking lug the locking means assembly is released for a short time and the door rack can be optionally offset one step down or up.
- the actuating means After releasing the control knob, the actuating means only pivots out of the housing again by means of spring bias when the latch is again in the locking position.
- the release position of the locking lug is a shaft which is connected to the locking lug against pivoting back of the bolt in the adjustment of the counter-locking means.
- the user is indicated by the absence of swinging out of the actuating means or the control knob that the locking means assembly is not yet in a proper locking position.
- the user can then, for example, by a further short adjustment the door compartment let the locking means assembly engage, wherein the latch slides in the latching niche and the actuating means or the control knob pivots to the starting position, thereby indicating the proper locking.
- the latch is provided on a lever-shaped unlocking means which is mounted by pressing an actuating means or the control knob from a locking position to a release position pivotally mounted on the counter-locking means.
- the unlocking means may be pivotally mounted in the housing.
- the actuating means has the control knob.
- the control knob may be integrally formed with the lever. The lever acts upon actuation of the control knob, so that the latch can be pressed out of the latching niche of the latching means and into the housing.
- the latching niches can be provided on a latching means arrangement which has at least one strip-like latching means with a plurality of latching niches arranged one above the other.
- Each counter-locking means may be formed in a housing, which may be attached, for example, by means of a Schnapprastitati on the door racks. It may be a releasable snap connection.
- two counter-locking means are provided at each door rack. And on two opposite sides of the door compartment, preferably mounted on a rear side of the door compartment. Due to the separate design of the counter-locking means in a housing identical and thus variant-reduced counter-locking means can be used for a variety of differently designed door racks. It can be used on the same refrigeration device also different door racks, since the locking means assembly is always identical.
- the counter-locking means may comprise a base plate with a journal on which the lever-shaped unlocking means is pivotally mounted.
- the base plate may be a part of the housing, for example, the base plate may be formed by a rear wall of the housing.
- the unlocking means may be formed as a two-armed lever.
- the unlocking means may comprise a first lever arm having a lever length different from a second lever arm.
- the shorter lever arm can form the bolt.
- the longer lever arm can be limited at least on one side by a stop, in particular by a web and / or a rib in its mobility.
- the locking lug can be mounted displaceably spring biased in a linearly movable guide in the locking position.
- the guide can be provided on the base plate or on the housing. Preferably, the guide is formed integrally with the base plate.
- a loop-shaped spring portion may be provided, which is connected to the pivotable unlocking means.
- the loop-shaped spring portion causes a resilient bias of the unlocking in its locking position and at the same time a resilient bias of the locking lug in its locking position.
- the loop-shaped spring portion may be supported for generating a spring bias in the locking position both for the pivotable unlocking means, as well as the displaceably mounted locking lug on an abutment of the base plate.
- the abutment can be formed by a side wall of the base plate.
- the loop-shaped spring portion may have an extension, by which the spring portion is supported on a side wall of the base plate.
- the detent may be formed together with the unlocking means and the loop-shaped spring portion as a one-piece component. Through the loop-shaped spring portion which connects the latching lug with the unlocking means and the latch, a number of components reduced latching means arrangement is created.
- the latching lug may have a latching cam and a shaft and the shaft may be guided linearly on the baseplate both on two opposite first guide surfaces of the latching cam and on two opposite second guide surfaces of the shaft.
- the detent may have a spring portion for generating a biasing force.
- the latch should assume a basic position in which it engages in the latching niche and thus is in the locked position.
- the latching lug can be biased by the spring portion in the locking position. In this preloaded locking position of the spring portion is preferably at a stop of the base plate. This also ensures that after releasing the unlocking the counter-locking means always automatically moved back into the locking position.
- the spring portion may be formed by an elastic finger whose free end is, for example, supported on an inner wall or a projection of the housing.
- the shaft may be formed to form an end stop surface for the release position of the locking lug with a smaller width than the locking cam.
- the detent may be formed together with the unlocking means and the loop-shaped spring portion as a one-piece component, in particular as a plastic injection molded part.
- the forces occurring such as holding forces on the locking lug, actuating forces on the latching lug or spring clamping forces on the unlocking means can be transmitted reliably over the component.
- the base plate for limiting a maximum pivot angle for the unlocking means comprise a web.
- the web thereby limits the maximum bending that can occur on the spring section and thus causes a limitation of the internal stresses in the spring section.
- the spring section can not be bent beyond its load limit. This measure prevents unwanted violent breakage of Entriegelungsstoffs so that the life of the counter-locking means is guaranteed.
- the locking lever may have a latching nose with arcuate, in particular circular arc-shaped contour.
- the locking means arrangement may comprise at least one strip-like, in particular door-side locking means with a plurality of superimposed latching niches arcuate, in particular circular arc-shaped contour.
- each two in particular symmetrically formed latching niches can be provided for pushing out of the counter-latching means from the current detent niche cooperating with the chamfering surface detent web.
- the counter-locking means projects into the latching niches and slipping down of the door compartment is prevented by the counter-latching means resting against the respective latching webs.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Kältegerät zu schaffen, bei dem ein Höhenverstellen des Türabstellers bei unbetätigtem Entriegelungsmittel zuverlässig verhindert ist.The object of the invention is to provide a refrigeration device, in which a height adjustment of the door compartment is reliably prevented when the unlocking means unactuated.
Die Aufgabe wird durch ein Kältegerät mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.The object is achieved by a refrigeration device with the features of
Bei all diesen Lösungen kann der Türabsteller an Rastleisten der Kältegerätetür verrasten, wobei Verriegelungsmittel vorgesehen sind, welche den Türabsteller in der momentanen Position an der Rastleiste festhalten. Die erfindungsgemäßen Verriegelungsmittel bzw. auch als Entriegelungsmittel bezeichnet, dienen dazu, die Gegenrastmittel in ihren Verriegelungsstellungen zu sperren, so dass die Gegenrastmittel auch bei hohen auf sie einwirkenden Kräften nicht aus den Rastmitteln herausrutschen können. Dies ist insbesondere dann wichtig, wenn die Konturen von Rastmittel und Gegenrastmittel derart gestaltet sind, das keine Selbstsperrung eintreten kann. Beispielsweise bei Rastnasen und Rastnischen, die eine kreisbogenförmige Kontur aufweisen, können durch das Eigengewicht des Türabstellers und der darin abgestellten Kühlwaren an den Kontaktflächen von Rastnase und Rastnische Querkräfte induziert werden, welche die Rastnase aus der Rastnische heraus, d.h. in das Gehäuse des Gegenrastmittels hinein drücken könnten. Dies hätte die nachteilige Folge, dass bei großer Gewichtsbelastung auf den Türabsteller die Verrastung sich lösen und der Türabsteller abstürzen könnte. Erfindungsgemäß ist deshalb ein Riegel vorgesehen, der in den Verstellweg des Gegenrastmittels, bzw. der Rasnase gesetzt werden kann, so dass das Gegenrastmittel, bzw. die Rasnase nicht unerwünscht aus dem Rastmittel bzw. der Rastnische herausgedrückt werden kann. Der Riegel befindet sich bei unbetätigtem Entriegelungsmittel in seiner Sperrstellung, d.h. nur wenn der Türabsteller gewollt verstellt werden soll, sind die Betätigungsmittel der Entriegelungsmittel zu drücken, so dass die Riegel den Verstellweg der Gegenrastmittel, bzw. der Rasnasen freigeben und der Türabsteller bewegt werden kann.In all these solutions, the door racks can latch on locking strips of the refrigerator door, wherein locking means are provided which hold the door racks in the current position on the locking strip. The locking means according to the invention or also referred to as unlocking serve to lock the counter-locking means in their locking positions, so that the counter-locking means can not slip out of the locking means even at high forces acting on them. This is particularly important if the contours of locking means and counter-locking means are designed such that no self-locking can occur. For example, with latching noses and latching niches, which have a circular arc-shaped contour, transverse forces can be induced by the weight of the door compartment and the refrigerated goods parked at the contact surfaces of latching lug and latching niche, which press the latching lug out of the latching niche, ie into the housing of the counter-latching means could. This would have the disadvantageous consequence that with large weight load on the door racks, the latching could loosen and the door racks could crash. Therefore, according to the invention a bolt is provided which can be set in the displacement of the counter-locking means, or the Rasnase, so that the counter-locking means, or the Rasnase can not be undesirably pushed out of the latching means or the latching niche. Of the Latch is in unactuated unlocking in its blocking position, ie only when the door rack is to be adjusted intentionally, the actuating means of the unlocking means are to be pressed so that the latch release the adjustment of the counter-locking means, or the Rasnasen and the door rack can be moved.
Erfindungsgemäß weist das Gegenrastmittel deshalb einen Riegel auf, der bei unbetätigtem Entriegelungsmittel in den zwischen einer Verrieglungsstellung und einer Freigabestellung liegenden Verstellweg des Gegenrastmittels gesetzt ist und eine Bewegung der Rastnase aus der Rastnische heraus unterbindet.According to the invention, the counter-locking means therefore has a bolt which, when the unlocking means are not actuated, is in the position between a locking position and a release position lying adjustment of the counter-locking means is set and prevents movement of the locking lug out of the detent niche out.
Das erfindungsgemäße Gegenrastmittel kann einteilig ausgebildet und in einem Gehäuse gelagert sein. Dieses separate Gehäuse des Gegenrastmittels kann eine erste Öffnung aufweisen, durch welche die Rastnase hervorragt und eine zweite Öffnung, insbesondere eine untere zweite Öffnung aufweisen, durch die ein Betätigungsmittel des Entriegelungsmittels herausragt. Das Betätigungsmittel bildet dabei einen Bedienknopf zum Lösen der Rastverriegelung. Durch nach innen Drücken des über die zweite Öffnung herausstehenden Abschnitts des Betätigungsmittels, d.h. des Bedienknopfes, wird das hebelförmige Entriegelungsmittel d.h. der Hebel verschwenkt, so dass der Riegel einen Weg freigibt, wodurch die Rastnase in das Gehäuse zurück gedrückt werden kann. Die Rastnase wird dabei nicht aktiv in das Gehäuse zurückbewegt. Vielmehr bleibt die Rastnase aufgrund einer federelastischen Vorspannung weiterhin in der Verriegelungsstellung, d.h. die Rasnase verbleibt zunächst in der Rastnische. Durch ein Aufwärtsbewegen oder Abwärtsbewegen des Türabstellers wird eine Kraft erzeugt, welche die Rasnase aus der Rastnische herausdrückt. Aufgrund einer bspw. kreisbogenförmigen oder keilförmigen Kontur wird die Rasnase aus der Rastnische gedrückt, wenn sie an einem Raststeg zwischen zwei Rasnischen entlang gleitet. Beim Überspringen eines Raststegs wird durch das erneute Einschnappen der Rastnase in die neue Rastnische aufgrund der federelastischen Vorspannung ein deutlich hörbares Klackgeräusch erzeugt. Dieses Klackgeräusch gibt dem Benutzer einen akustischen Hinweis über die erfolgte Verstellbewegung des Türabstellers und die erneute sichere Verrastung der Rastmittelanordnung. Durch die in das Gehäuse zurück gedrückte Rastnase wird die Rastmittelanordnung kurzzeitig gelöst und der Türabsteller kann wahlweise eine Stufe nach unten oder nach oben versetzt werden.The counter-locking means according to the invention can be integrally formed and stored in a housing. This separate housing of the counter-locking means may have a first opening through which protrudes the locking lug and having a second opening, in particular a lower second opening through which an actuating means of the unlocking means protrudes. The actuating means forms a control button for releasing the locking latch. By pushing inward the portion of the actuating means projecting beyond the second opening, i. of the control knob, the lever-shaped unlocking means i. the lever pivots, so that the latch releases a way, whereby the locking lug can be pushed back into the housing. The catch is not actively moved back into the housing. Rather, the locking lug remains in the locked position due to a resilient bias, i. The Rasnase initially remains in the detention niche. By moving up or down the door compartment, a force is generated which pushes the lawn nose out of the latching niche. Due to an example. Arc-shaped or wedge-shaped contour, the Rasnase is pushed out of the detent niche when it slides along a latching web between two rhinos along. When you skip a locking bar is generated by re-snapping the locking lug in the new detent niche due to the elastic bias a clearly audible clicking sound. This clicking sound gives the user an acoustic indication of the adjustment movement of the door compartment and the renewed secure locking of the latching means arrangement. By the pressed back into the housing locking lug the locking means assembly is released for a short time and the door rack can be optionally offset one step down or up.
Nach einem Loslassen des Bedienknopfes schwenkt das Betätigungsmittel mittels Federvorspannung nur dann wieder aus dem Gehäuse heraus, wenn die Rastnase sich wieder in der Verriegelungsstellung befindet. In der Freigabestellung der Rastnase steht ein Schaft, der mit der Rastnase verbunden ist einem Zurückschwenken des Riegels in den Verstellweg des Gegenrastmittels entgegen. So wird dem Benutzer durch das Ausbleiben des Herausschwenkens des Betätigungsmittels bzw. dessen Bedienknopfes angezeigt, dass die Rastmittelanordnung sich noch nicht in einer ordnungsgemäßen Verriegelungsstellung befindet. Der Benutzer kann dann bspw. durch eine weitere kurze Verstellbewegung des Türabstellers die Rastmittelanordnung verrasten lassen, wobei die Rastnase in die Rastnische gleitet und das Betätigungsmittel bzw. der Bedienknopf in die Ausgangsstellung schwenkt und dadurch die ordnungsgemäße Verriegelung anzeigt.After releasing the control knob, the actuating means only pivots out of the housing again by means of spring bias when the latch is again in the locking position. In the release position of the locking lug is a shaft which is connected to the locking lug against pivoting back of the bolt in the adjustment of the counter-locking means. Thus, the user is indicated by the absence of swinging out of the actuating means or the control knob that the locking means assembly is not yet in a proper locking position. The user can then, for example, by a further short adjustment the door compartment let the locking means assembly engage, wherein the latch slides in the latching niche and the actuating means or the control knob pivots to the starting position, thereby indicating the proper locking.
Der Riegel ist an einem hebelförmigen Entriegelungsmittel vorgesehen, das durch Drücken eines Betätigungsmittels bzw. des Bedienknopfes aus einer Verriegelungsstellung in eine Freigabestellung schwenkbar am Gegenrastmittel gelagert ist. Das Entriegelungsmittel kann dabei schwenkbar im Gehäuse gelagert sein. Das Betätigungsmittel weist den Bedienknopf auf. Der Bedienknopf kann einteilig mit dem Hebel ausgebildet sein. Der Hebel wirkt bei Betätigen des Bedienknopfes, so dass die Rastnase aus der Rastnische des Rastmittels heraus und in das Gehäuse hinein gedrückt werden kann. Die Rastnischen können an einer Rastmittelanordnung vorgesehen sein, die mindestens ein leistenartiges Rastmittel mit mehreren übereinander angeordneten Rastnischen aufweist.The latch is provided on a lever-shaped unlocking means which is mounted by pressing an actuating means or the control knob from a locking position to a release position pivotally mounted on the counter-locking means. The unlocking means may be pivotally mounted in the housing. The actuating means has the control knob. The control knob may be integrally formed with the lever. The lever acts upon actuation of the control knob, so that the latch can be pressed out of the latching niche of the latching means and into the housing. The latching niches can be provided on a latching means arrangement which has at least one strip-like latching means with a plurality of latching niches arranged one above the other.
Jedes Gegenrastmittel kann in einem Gehäuse ausgebildet sein, das bspw. mittels einer Schnapprastverbindung an dem Türabsteller befestigt sein kann. Es kann sich um eine lösbare Schnapprastverbindung handeln. Es sind an jedem Türabsteller insbesondere zwei Gegenrastmittel vorgesehen. Und zwar an zwei gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Türabstellers, vorzugsweise an einer Rückseite des Türabstellers montiert. Durch die gesonderte Ausbildung der Gegenrastmittel in einem Gehäuse können baugleiche und damit variantenreduzierte Gegenrastmittel für eine Vielzahl von unterschiedlich gestalteten Türabstellern benutzt werden. Es können dadurch auch verschiedenartige Türabsteller am selben Kältegerät verwendet werden, da die Rastmittelanordnung dabei stets baugleich ist.Each counter-locking means may be formed in a housing, which may be attached, for example, by means of a Schnapprastverbindung on the door racks. It may be a releasable snap connection. In particular, two counter-locking means are provided at each door rack. And on two opposite sides of the door compartment, preferably mounted on a rear side of the door compartment. Due to the separate design of the counter-locking means in a housing identical and thus variant-reduced counter-locking means can be used for a variety of differently designed door racks. It can be used on the same refrigeration device also different door racks, since the locking means assembly is always identical.
Das Gegenrastmittel kann eine Grundplatte mit einem Achszapfen aufweisen, an dem das hebelförmige Entriegelungsmittel schwenkbar gelagert ist. Die Grundplatte kann ein Teil des Gehäuses sein, bspw. kann die Grundplatte von einer rückseitigen Wand des Gehäuses gebildet werden. Das Entriegelungsmittel kann als zweiarmiger Hebel ausgebildet sein. In diesem Falle kann das Entriegelungsmittel einen ersten Hebelarm mit einer zu einem zweiten Hebelarm unterschiedlichen Hebellänge aufweisen. Dabei kann der kürzere Hebelarm den Riegel bilden. Der längere Hebelarm kann zumindest einseitig durch einen Anschlag, insbesondere durch einen Steg und/oder eine Rippe in seiner Beweglichkeit begrenzt sein.The counter-locking means may comprise a base plate with a journal on which the lever-shaped unlocking means is pivotally mounted. The base plate may be a part of the housing, for example, the base plate may be formed by a rear wall of the housing. The unlocking means may be formed as a two-armed lever. In this case, the unlocking means may comprise a first lever arm having a lever length different from a second lever arm. The shorter lever arm can form the bolt. The longer lever arm can be limited at least on one side by a stop, in particular by a web and / or a rib in its mobility.
Die Rastnase kann in einer linear beweglichen Führung in die Verriegelungsstellung federvorgespannt verschieblich gelagert sein. Die Führung kann an der Grundplatte bzw. an dem Gehäuse vorgesehen sein. Vorzugsweise ist die Führung einteilig mit der Grundplatte ausgebildet.The locking lug can be mounted displaceably spring biased in a linearly movable guide in the locking position. The guide can be provided on the base plate or on the housing. Preferably, the guide is formed integrally with the base plate.
Zur Federvorspannung der Rastnase kann ein schlaufenförmiger Federabschnitt vorgesehen sein, der mit dem schwenkbaren Entriegelungsmittel verbunden ist. Der schlaufenförmige Federabschnitt bewirkt eine federelastische Vorspannung des Entriegelungsmittel in seine Verriegelungsstellung und gleichzeitig eine federelastische Vorspannung der Rastnase in ihre Verriegelungsstellung. Der schlaufenförmige Federabschnitt kann sich zur Erzeugung einer Federvorspannung in die Verriegelungsstellung sowohl für das schwenkbare Entriegelungsmittel, als auch der verschieblich gelagerten Rastnase an einem Widerlager der Grundplatte abstützen. Das Widerlager kann von einer Seitenwand der Grundplatte gebildet werden. Der schlaufenförmige Federabschnitt kann einen Fortsatz aufweisen, durch den sich der Federabschnitt an einer Seitenwand der Grundplatte abstützt. Die Rastnase kann zusammen mit dem Entriegelungsmittel und dem schlaufenförmigen Federabschnitt als einteiliges Bauteil ausgebildet sein. Durch den schlaufenförmigen Federabschnitt, der die Rastnase mit dem Entriegelungsmittel und dem Riegel verbindet, wird eine Bauteilezahl reduzierte Rastmittelanordnung geschaffen.For spring preload of the locking lug a loop-shaped spring portion may be provided, which is connected to the pivotable unlocking means. The loop-shaped spring portion causes a resilient bias of the unlocking in its locking position and at the same time a resilient bias of the locking lug in its locking position. The loop-shaped spring portion may be supported for generating a spring bias in the locking position both for the pivotable unlocking means, as well as the displaceably mounted locking lug on an abutment of the base plate. The abutment can be formed by a side wall of the base plate. The loop-shaped spring portion may have an extension, by which the spring portion is supported on a side wall of the base plate. The detent may be formed together with the unlocking means and the loop-shaped spring portion as a one-piece component. Through the loop-shaped spring portion which connects the latching lug with the unlocking means and the latch, a number of components reduced latching means arrangement is created.
In allen Ausführungen kann die Rastnase einen Rastnocken und einen Schaft aufweisen und der Schaft sowohl an zwei gegenüberliegenden ersten Führungsflächen des Rastnockens als auch an zwei gegenüberliegenden zweiten Führungsflächen des Schafts linear an der Grundplatte geführt sein. Die Rastnase kann zum Erzeugen einer Vorspannkraft einen Federabschnitt aufweisen. Um sicherzustellen, dass der Türabsteller nicht unerwünscht nach unten aufgrund der Schwerkraft durchrutscht, sollte die Rastnase eine Grundstellung einnehmen, in der sie in die Rastnische eingreift und sich somit in der Verriegelungsstellung befindet. Um die Rastnase in eine in die Rastnische eingreifende Stellung zu bringen, kann die Rastnase durch den Federabschnitt in die Verriegelungsstellung vorgespannt werden. In dieser vorgespannten Verriegelungsstellung steht der Federabschnitt vorzugsweise an einem Anschlag der Grundplatte an. Damit ist auch gewährleistet, dass nach einem Loslassen des Entriegelungsmittels das Gegenrastmittel sich stets selbsttätig in die Verriegelungsstellung zurückbewegt. Der Federabschnitt kann von einem elastischen Finger gebildet werden, dessen freies Ende sich bspw. an einer Innenwand oder einem Vorsprung des Gehäuses abstützt.In all embodiments, the latching lug may have a latching cam and a shaft and the shaft may be guided linearly on the baseplate both on two opposite first guide surfaces of the latching cam and on two opposite second guide surfaces of the shaft. The detent may have a spring portion for generating a biasing force. To ensure that the door racks do not slippage down undesirably due to gravity, the latch should assume a basic position in which it engages in the latching niche and thus is in the locked position. In order to bring the locking lug into a position engaging in the latching niche, the latching lug can be biased by the spring portion in the locking position. In this preloaded locking position of the spring portion is preferably at a stop of the base plate. This also ensures that after releasing the unlocking the counter-locking means always automatically moved back into the locking position. The spring portion may be formed by an elastic finger whose free end is, for example, supported on an inner wall or a projection of the housing.
Dabei kann der Schaft zur Bildung einer Endanschlagfläche für die Freigabestellung der Rastnase mit einer geringeren Breite als der Rastnocken ausgebildet sein.In this case, the shaft may be formed to form an end stop surface for the release position of the locking lug with a smaller width than the locking cam.
In allen Fällen kann die Rastnase zusammen mit dem Entriegelungsmittel und dem schlaufenförmigen Federabschnitt als einteiliges Bauteil, insbesondere als Kunststoffspritzgußteil ausgebildet sein. Durch eine einteilige Ausbildung können die auftretenden Kräfte, wie Haltekräfte an der Rastnase, Stellkräfte an der Rastnase oder Federspannkräfte am Entriegelungsmittel zuverlässig über das Bauteil hinweg übertragen werden.In all cases, the detent may be formed together with the unlocking means and the loop-shaped spring portion as a one-piece component, in particular as a plastic injection molded part. By a one-piece design, the forces occurring, such as holding forces on the locking lug, actuating forces on the latching lug or spring clamping forces on the unlocking means can be transmitted reliably over the component.
In allen Varianten kann die Grundplatte zum Begrenzen eines maximalen Schwenkwinkels für das Entriegelungsmittel einen Steg aufweisen. Der Steg begrenzt dadurch die maximale Biegung, die an dem Federabschnitt auftreten kann und bewirkt damit eine Begrenzung der inneren Spannungen im Federabschnitt. Der Federabschnitt kann dadurch nicht über seine Belastungsgrenze hinaus verbogen werden. Diese Maßnahme verhindert einen unerwünschten Gewaltbruch des Entriegelungsmittels, so dass die Lebensdauer des Gegenrastmittels gewährleistet bleibt.In all variants, the base plate for limiting a maximum pivot angle for the unlocking means comprise a web. The web thereby limits the maximum bending that can occur on the spring section and thus causes a limitation of the internal stresses in the spring section. The spring section can not be bent beyond its load limit. This measure prevents unwanted violent breakage of Entriegelungsmittels so that the life of the counter-locking means is guaranteed.
In allen Ausführungen kann der Rasthebel eine Rastnase mit bogenförmiger, insbesondere kreisbogenförmiger Kontur aufweisen. Bei dieser Kontur kann die Rastmittelanordnung mindestens ein leistenartiges, insbesondere türseitiges Rastmittel mit mehreren übereinander angeordneten Rastnischen bogenförmiger, insbesondere kreisbogenförmiger Kontur aufweisen.In all embodiments, the locking lever may have a latching nose with arcuate, in particular circular arc-shaped contour. In this contour, the locking means arrangement may comprise at least one strip-like, in particular door-side locking means with a plurality of superimposed latching niches arcuate, in particular circular arc-shaped contour.
Zwischen jeweils zwei insbesondere symmetrisch ausgebildeten Rastnischen kann zum Herausdrücken des Gegenrastmittels aus der momentanen Rastnische ein mit der Anlaufschrägfläche zusammenwirkender Raststeg vorgesehen sein. In den jeweiligen Rastpositionen des Türabstellers ragt das Gegenrastmittel in die Rastnischen hinein und ein Abrutschen des Türabstellers nach unten ist dadurch verhindert, dass die Gegenrastmittel an den jeweiligen Raststegen sperrend aufliegen.Between each two in particular symmetrically formed latching niches can be provided for pushing out of the counter-latching means from the current detent niche cooperating with the chamfering surface detent web. In the respective locking positions of the door compartment, the counter-locking means projects into the latching niches and slipping down of the door compartment is prevented by the counter-latching means resting against the respective latching webs.
Die Gegenrastmittel können wie die Rastleisten als separate Anbauteile ausgebildet sein und an dem Türabsteller befestigt sein. Dazu kann jedes Gegenrastmittel Befestigungsabschnitte aufweisen, über die die Gegenrastmittel an dem Türabsteller befestigt werden können. Die als separate Anbauteile ausgebildeten Gegenrastmittel können insbesondere nachträglich an einer Tür eines üblichen Kältegerätes nachgerüstet werden. Die separaten Rastleisten und die separaten Gegenrastmittel können als Anbausatz in einer gemeinsamen Verkaufseinheit dem Verbraucher angeboten werden.The counter-locking means may be formed as the locking strips as separate attachments and attached to the door racks. For this purpose, each counter-locking means may have attachment portions, via which the counter-locking means can be attached to the door racks. The trained as separate attachments counter-locking means can be retrofitted in particular subsequently to a door of a conventional refrigerator. The separate locking strips and the separate counter-locking means can be offered as an attachment kit in a common sales unit to the consumer.

In der Ruheposition, d.h. in der Verriegelungsstellung des Türabstellers 10 rastet die Rastnase 24 mit ihrer halbkreisförmigen Kontur in einem türseitigen Wellenprofil ein. Das Wellenprofil besteht aus einer Aneinanderreihung von abwechselnd halbkreisförmigen Rastnischen 41 und Raststegen 42. Bei der Verstellung des Türabstellers 10 nach oben oder unten kann die Rastnase 24 durch Betätigung des Entriegelungsmittels 19 mit geringer Kraft entriegelt werden. Die Rastnase 24 kann dann in einer linearen Bewegung ins Gehäuse 14 ausweichen und die Rastnischen 41 des Wellenprofils sind freigegeben. Beim Überfahren der einzelnen Wellen, d.h. beim Überfahren der Raststege 42 zwischen zwei Rastnischen 41, ist ein deutliches Klackgeräusch hörbar. Das Klackgeräusch entsteht durch ein Zurückspringen der Rastnase 24 in die neue Rastnische 41 aufgrund der Federn, welche die Rastnase 24 in jedes Wellental, d.h. die Rastnische 41 drücken. Die Größe des inkrementalen Verstellwegs in horizontaler Richtung für den Türabsteller 10 wird bestimmt durch den Abstand zweiter Wellen bzw. zweier Rastnischen 41.In the rest position, i. in the locking position of the
