Description

Abstellbehälter mit Dekorblende  Storage container with decorative trim
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Abstellbehälter zur Montage in einer Tür eines Kältegeräts, insbesondere einen Türabsteller mit einer an der Frontseite des Abstellbehälters aufgesetzten Dekorblende. The invention relates to a storage container for mounting in a door of a refrigerator, in particular a door rack with a patch on the front of the storage container decorative panel.
Zur Differenzierung der unterschiedlichen Baureihen, die von einem Hersteller von Kältegeräten gefertigt werden, ist es bekannt, Abstellbehälter für Kühlgut aus jeweils baugleichem Behälterkorpussen herzustellen, die mit unterschiedlichen Dekorleisten versehen werden. So ist aus der DE 101 17 763 A1 ein Abstellbehälter zur Montage in einer Tür eines Kältegeräts bekannt, der aus einem Behälterkorpus und einer Dekorleiste aufgebaut ist, die am Behälterkorpus durch eine Steckverbindung montierbar ist. Gemäß einer Ausführungsform wird die Dekorleiste in ein vertieftes Feld in der Frontseite des Korpus eingesetzt, wobei das Feld jeweils an den Seiten und nach unten durch vorstehende Ränder begrenzt ist. Gemäß einer anderen Ausführungsform erstreckt sich ein entsprechendes vertieftes Feld über die gesamte Breite der Frontseite und einen Teil der Breite der darin angrenzenden Schmalseiten. Komplementär zur Form dieses vertieften Feldes ist die Dekorleiste klammerförmig mit einem sich über die Frontseite erstreckenden zentralen Bereich und zwei daran angrenzenden Seitenwangen ausgebildet. Nachteilig an beiden diesen Ausgestaltungen ist jedoch, dass die Dekorleiste sich nicht über die gesamte Flä- che der Frontseite des Abstellbehälters erstreckt, sondern jeweils zumindest Teil der Stirnwände sichtbar bleiben. To differentiate the different series, which are manufactured by a manufacturer of refrigerators, it is known to produce storage containers for refrigerated goods from each identical container carcasses, which are provided with different trim strips. Thus, from DE 101 17 763 A1 discloses a storage container for mounting in a door of a refrigerator known, which is constructed of a container body and a decorative strip, which is mounted on the container body by a connector. According to one embodiment, the decorative strip is inserted into a recessed field in the front of the body, wherein the field is bounded respectively at the sides and down by protruding edges. According to another embodiment, a corresponding recessed field extends over the entire width of the front side and a part of the width of the narrow sides adjoining it. Complementary to the shape of this recessed field, the decorative strip is clamp-shaped with a front extending over the central area and two adjacent side cheeks. A disadvantage of both of these embodiments, however, is that the decorative strip does not extend over the entire surface of the front side of the storage container, but in each case at least part of the end walls remain visible.
Die DE 102 08 063 A1 und DE 102 08 067 A1 offenbaren einen Türabsteller für ein Kältegerät mit einer Vorderwand, einem Boden und zwei Seitenwänden, wobei die Vorderwand durch ein Strangpressprofil gebildet ist, das Aufnahmen für die Anbringung einer den Boden bildenden Platte und zweier die Stirnwände bildende Kopfstücke aufweist. Auch der Hintergrund dieser Dokumente ist die Austauschbarkeit der Vorderwand, die für verschiedene Modellreihen aus unterschiedlichen Strangpressprofilen bestehen soll. Die Strangpressprofile weisen Kanäle auf, die an den Stirnseiten der Vorderwand jeweils Aufnahmen für entsprechende Steckzapfen in den Stirnwänden bzw. der Bodenplatte bilden. Aufgrund dieser Art der Befestigung der Vorderwand an der Bodenplatte bzw. den Stirnwänden ist es nicht möglich, dass die Vorderwand die Stirnwände zur Frontseite des Behälters hin bedeckt. Diese bleiben also sichtbar, auch wenn sie aus weniger werthaltigem Material gefertigt sind. DE 102 08 063 A1 and DE 102 08 067 A1 disclose a door rack for a refrigerator with a front wall, a bottom and two side walls, wherein the front wall is formed by an extruded profile, the receptacles for mounting a plate forming the bottom and two the Having end walls forming head pieces. The background of these documents is also the interchangeability of the front wall, which should consist of different extruded profiles for different model series. The extruded profiles have channels which form receptacles for corresponding plug-in pins in the end walls or the bottom plate on the front sides of the front wall. Due to this type of attachment of the front wall to the bottom plate or the end walls, it is not possible that the front wall, the end walls to the front of the container covered. These remain visible, even if they are made of less valuable material.
Das gleiche Befestigungsprinzip zwischen Vorderwand und Stirnwänden wird auch in der DE 10 2005 022 516 A1 verwendet. Hierbei ist die Vorderwand zudem aus mehreren in- einandergreifenden Elementen zusammengefügt. The same fastening principle between front wall and end walls is also used in DE 10 2005 022 516 A1. The front wall is also made up of several interlocking elements.
Aus der DE 10 2008 026 381 A1 ist ein Türabsteller für ein Kältegerät bekannt, der eine offene Vorderseite aufweist. Die Vorderseite ist durch eine schwenkbare Klappe verschließbar. From DE 10 2008 026 381 A1 discloses a door rack for a refrigeration device is known which has an open front. The front is closed by a hinged flap.
Die Erfindung hat sich die Aufgabe gesetzt, ein neues Konzept eines modularen Abstellbehälters für Kältegeräte bereitzustellen, durch das verschiedene Türabsteller mit möglichst vielen Gleichteilen und einem hohen Differenzierungsgrad realisiert werden können. Die Abstellbehälter sollen zur Frontseite ein möglichst einheitliches Bild abgeben. The invention has set itself the task of providing a new concept of a modular storage container for refrigerators, can be realized by the different door racks with as many common parts and a high degree of differentiation. The storage containers should give the front as unified as possible image.
Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch einen Abstellbehälter gemäß Anspruch 1 und das Kältegerät gemäß Anspruch 12. Der erfindungsgemäße Abstellbehälter umfasst einen Behälterkorpus mit einem Boden, zwei Stirnwänden, optional einer an der Frontseite des Abstellbehälters angeordneten Vorderwand und einer an der Frontseite des Abstellbehälters aufgesetzten Dekorblende. Die Dekorblende bildet bevorzugt ein vom Behälterkorpus separates Teil, ist jedoch fest an dem Behälterkorpus gehaltert. Insbesondere handelt es sich nicht um eine Klappe oder Schiebetür. Erfindungsgemäß sind die Stirnwände des Behälterkorpus zur Frontseite hin zumindest teilweise von der Dekorblende bedeckt. Vorzugsweise sind die Stirnwände zumindest im Wesentlichen, insbesondere vollständig von der Dekorblende bedeckt. Dadurch ist der Behälterkorpus, der unter Umständen aus einem einfachen Kunststoff als Spritzgussteil gefertigt ist, jedenfalls an den Seiten vollständig von der Dekorblende bedeckt und damit nicht sichtbar, was zu einem werthaltigen Aussehen des Abstellbehälters beiträgt. Mit„Frontseite" ist diejenige Seite des Abstellbehälters gemeint, die, wenn der Abstellbehälter in einer Tür eines Kältegerätes montiert ist, bei geschlossener Tür dem Innenraum des Kältegeräts zugewandt ist. Der ästhetische Eindruck des Abstellbehälter wird daher was ausschließlich durch die Frontseite bestimmt. Bevorzugt erstreckt sich die Dekorblende über die gesamte Breite und, zumindest an den Stirnseiten des Abstellbehälters, über die gesamte Höhe der Frontseite des Abstellbehälters. Hierdurch werden wiederum die Stirnwände des Behälterkorpus von der Dekorblende überdeckt, und zu der beim Öffnen der Tür dem Benutzer zugewandten Frontseite hin ist praktisch nur die Dekorblende zu sehen. Gemäß einer Ausführungsform ist zumindest im Wesentlichen die gesamte Frontseite des Abstellbehälters von der Dekorblende bedeckt, die Stirnseiten des Behälterkorpus jedoch nicht. Hierzu wird insbesondere ein Halterungsmechanismus verwendet, durch den die Dekorblende auf die Frontseite des Behälterkorpus aufgesetzt ist, ohne dessen Stirnwände zu umgreifen. Gemäß einer Ausführungsform ist die Dekorblende an dem Behälterkorpus durch eine Kraftschluss- und/oder Formschlussverbindung gehaltert. Insbesondere ist die Dekorblende auf den Behälterkorpus gesteckt, wobei die Steckrichtung bevorzugt zumindest im Wesentlichen senkrecht zur Frontseite liegt. Die Dekorblende wird also beim Zusammenfügen des modularen Abstellbehälters von vorne auf die Frontseite aufgesteckt. Vorzugs- weise ist die Dekorblende am Behälterkorpus durch eine oder mehrere Rastverbindungen gehaltert. This object is achieved by a storage container according to claim 1 and the refrigerator according to claim 12. The storage container according to the invention comprises a container body with a bottom, two end walls, optionally arranged on the front side of the storage container front wall and a patch on the front of the storage container decorative panel. The decorative panel preferably forms a separate part from the container body, but is firmly held on the container body. In particular, it is not a flap or sliding door. According to the invention, the end walls of the container body are at least partially covered by the decorative panel towards the front side. Preferably, the end walls are at least substantially, in particular completely covered by the decorative panel. As a result, the container body, which is possibly made of a simple plastic injection molded part, in any case completely covered on the sides of the decorative panel and thus not visible, which contributes to a valuable appearance of Abstellbehälters. By "front" is meant that side of the storage container which, when the storage container is mounted in a door of a refrigeration appliance, faces the interior of the refrigeration appliance when the door is closed.The aesthetic impression of the storage container is therefore determined exclusively by the front side. Preferably, the decorative panel extends over the entire width and, at least on the end faces of the storage container, over the entire height of the front side of the storage container. As a result, in turn, the end walls of the container body are covered by the decorative panel, and to the user when opening the door facing front side is practically only the decorative panel to see. According to one embodiment, at least substantially the entire front side of the storage container is covered by the decorative panel, but the front sides of the container body are not. For this purpose, in particular a support mechanism is used, through which the decorative panel is placed on the front side of the container body, without embracing the end walls. According to one embodiment, the decorative panel is supported on the container body by a frictional and / or positive connection. In particular, the decorative panel is placed on the container body, wherein the plugging direction is preferably at least substantially perpendicular to the front side. The decorative panel is thus plugged when joining the modular storage container from the front to the front. Preferably, the decorative panel is supported on the container body by one or more latching connections.
Die Dekorblende ist bevorzugt formschlüssig, z. B. durch eine Rast-, Steck- und/oder Nut- Federverbindung an dem Behälterkorpus gehaltert. Es kommen jedoch auch stoffschlüs- sige Verbindungen wie Kleben, oder kraftschlüssige Verbindungen in Frage. Die Verbindung kann lösbar sein, dies ist jedoch nicht zwingend erforderlich, da eine einmal montierte Dekorblende nicht mehr vom Behälterkorpus gelöst wird. The decorative panel is preferably form-fitting, z. B. held by a locking, plug and / or tongue and groove connection to the container body. However, material-like compounds such as gluing or non-positive connections are also possible. The connection can be detachable, but this is not absolutely necessary, since a once mounted decorative trim is no longer detached from the container body.
Gemäß einer Ausführungsform ist die Dekorblende im Bereich der Seitenwände an der Frontseite des Behälterkorpus gehaltert, z.B. durch Rastverbindungen. Hierbei kann vorgesehen sein, dass die beiden Stirnwände des Behälterkorpus jeweils eine zur Frontseite hin offene Öffnung aufweisen, in die jeweils ein entsprechender Vorsprung der Dekorblende eingesteckt ist. Der Vorsprung kann dann beispielsweise eine Hinterschneidung aufweisen, in die eine entsprechende Rastnase an den Seitenwänden der Öffnung des Behälterkorpus einrastet. Alternativ kann der Vorsprung auch reibschlüssig oder durch einen Klebstoff in der jeweiligen Öffnung in der Stirnwand des Behälterkorpus gehaltert sein. Da die Dekorblende sich bevorzugt über die gesamte Breite des Abstellbehälters erstreckt und somit die Frontwand bildet, braucht der Behälterkorpus keine Vorderwand aufzuweisen. Gemäß einer Ausführungsform ist jedoch eine Vorderwand vorhanden, die bevorzugt halbhoch ist, sich also nicht über die gesamte Höhe der Frontseite erstreckt. Eine halbhohe Vorderwand eröffnet die Möglichkeit, die Dekorblende durch eine Nut-Federverbindung an der Oberseite der Vorderwand zu befestigen. Zusätzlich kann die Dekorblende im Bereicht der Stirnwände durch Rastverbindungen am Behälterkorpus gehaltert sein. According to one embodiment, the decorative panel is held in the region of the side walls on the front side of the container body, for example by latching connections. It can be provided that the two end walls of the container body each have an open towards the front opening, in each of which a corresponding projection of the decorative panel is inserted. The projection may then have, for example, an undercut into which engages a corresponding latching lug on the side walls of the opening of the container body. Alternatively, the projection may also be frictionally or held by an adhesive in the respective opening in the end wall of the container body. Since the decorative panel preferably extends over the entire width of the storage container and thus forms the front wall, the container body need not have a front wall. According to one embodiment, however, a front wall is present, which is preferably half-height, so does not extend over the entire height of the front. A half-height front wall makes it possible to attach the decorative trim to the top of the front wall with a tongue and groove connection. In addition, the decorative panel may be supported in the region of the end walls by latching connections on the container body.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist der Behälterkorpus zumindest teilweise transparent. Der Korpus kann beispielsweise durch Spritzguss aus Polystyrol gefertigt sein. Vorzugsweise wird für verschiedene Baureihen die gleiche Spritzgussform verwendet, wobei auf den gleichen Behälterkorpus verschiedene Baureihen unterschiedliche Dekorblenden aufgesetzt werden. According to a preferred embodiment, the container body is at least partially transparent. The body can be made for example by injection molding of polystyrene. Preferably, the same injection mold is used for different series, with different model series different decorative panels are placed on the same container body.
Gemäß einer Ausführungsform weist eine Dekorblende im Bereich zwischen den die Stirnwände bedeckenden Abschnitten zumindest eine Aussparung auf, welche sich optional bis zum unteren Rand der Dekorblende erstreckt.
