  • the DE 20 2005 014 382 U1 discloses a door for a refrigerator with a multi-part end part, which closes a cavity of the door formed by an outer wall and an inner wall of the door towards the top, in that the end part partially encloses an edge region that is cranked relative to a central region of the outer wall.
  • a door according to the invention for a domestic refrigeration appliance comprises an outer wall which has an upper bent web.

  • An essential idea of the invention can be seen in the fact that the end strip has at least one latching element which is formed adjacent to the receiving slot and is latched to the outer wall in the assembled state of the door. With such a design, an improved mechanical connection between the outer wall and the end strip is achieved in the area of the receiving slot in the case of modularly constructed doors.
  • At least one rib is formed in addition to the latching element.
  • This rib has a front side facing the outer wall, which is oriented with a first partial surface obliquely to an outer wall.
  • an oblique orientation is formed here on a front plate-like part of the outer wall, the web then adjoining an upper edge of this plate-like part and being bent over accordingly.

  • the receiving slot is preferably delimited from below by an upper side of the latching element.
  • This upper side of the locking element thus forms a lower boundary wall of the receiving slot.

This also results in direct contact between the latching element and the web itself.
  • this rib has a second partial surface on the front, which extends parallel to the outer wall.

As a result, a sufficiently precise intermediate position is then reached, from which the web is then inserted into the receiving slot and locked with the locking element.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Tür für ein Haushaltskältegerät, welche eine Außenwand aufweist, die einen oberen umgebogenen Steg aufweist. Die Tür umfasst darüber hinaus eine zur Außenwand separate Abschlussleiste, die einen Aufnahmeschlitz umfasst, in welchen im zusammengesetzten Zustand der Tür der Steg eingeführt ist. Darüber hinaus betrifft die Erfindung auch ein Haushaltskältegerät mit einer derartigen Tür sowie ein Verfahren zum Herstellen einer Tür für ein Haushaltskältegerät.The invention relates to a door for a domestic refrigerator, which has an outer wall which has an upper bent web. The door also includes an end strip which is separate from the outer wall and which has a receiving slot into which the web is inserted when the door is assembled. In addition, the invention also relates to a domestic refrigeration device with such a door and a method for manufacturing a door for a household refrigeration device.

Aus mehreren Einzelteilen aufgebaute Türen für ein Haushaltskältegerät sind bekannt. Eine Tür, bei welcher ein umgebogener Steg einer Außenwand in einen Aufnahmeschlitz eines zur Außenwand separaten oberen Abschlusselements eingreift, ist beispielsweise aus der CN 103542674 A1 bekannt.Doors for a domestic refrigeration appliance constructed from several individual parts are known. A door in which a bent web of an outer wall engages in a receiving slot of an upper end element separate from the outer wall is, for example, from FIG CN 103542674 A1 known.

Da ein derartiger Steg einer Tür jedoch relativ klein dimensioniert ist, kann es bei einem derartigen Einstecken jedoch nur zu einer unzureichenden mechanischen Halterung kommen.However, since such a web of a door is dimensioned relatively small, inadequate mechanical mounting can only occur with such an insertion.

Die DE 20 2005 014 382 U1 offenbart eine Tür für ein Kältegerät mit einem mehrteiligen Abschlussteil, welches einen von einer Außenwand und einer Innenwand der Tür gebildeten Hohlraum der Tür nach oben hin verschließt, indem das Abschlussteil einen gegenüber einem Mittelbereich der Außenwand gekröpften Randbereich teilweise umschließt.The DE 20 2005 014 382 U1 discloses a door for a refrigerator with a multi-part end part, which closes a cavity of the door formed by an outer wall and an inner wall of the door towards the top, in that the end part partially encloses an edge region that is cranked relative to a central region of the outer wall.

Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Tür für ein Haushaltskältegerät zu schaffen, bei welcher die Verbindung zwischen einer Außenwand und einer dazu separaten oberen Abschlussleiste der Tür verbessert ist. Entsprechend ist es auch Aufgabe, ein Haushaltskältegerät mit einer derartigen Tür sowie ein Verfahren zum Herstellen einer Tür für ein Haushaltskältegerät zu schaffen.It is an object of the present invention to provide a door for a domestic refrigeration appliance, in which the connection between an outer wall and a separate upper end strip of the door is improved. Accordingly, it is also an object to provide a household refrigerator with such a door and a method for manufacturing a door for a household refrigerator.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Tür, ein Haushaltskältegerät und ein Verfahren gemäß den unabhängigen Ansprüchen gelöst.This object is achieved by a door, a household refrigerator and a method according to the independent claims.

Eine erfindungsgemäße Tür für ein Haushaltskältegerät umfasst eine Außenwand, die einen oberen umgebogenen Steg aufweist. Darüber hinaus umfasst die Tür eine obere Abschlussleiste, die ein zu der Außenwand separates Bauteil darstellt. Diese obere Abschlussleiste weist einen Aufnahmeschlitz auf, in welchen im zusammengesetzten Zustand der Tür der umgebogene Steg der Außenwand eingeführt ist. Ein wesentlicher Gedanke der Erfindung ist darin zu sehen, dass die Abschlussleiste zumindest ein Rastelement aufweist, welches benachbart zum Aufnahmeschlitz ausgebildet ist und im zusammengesetzten Zustand der Tür mit der Außenwand verrastet ist. Durch eine derartige Ausgestaltung wird bei diesbezüglich modular aufgebauten Türen eine verbesserte mechanische Verbindung zwischen der Außenwand und der Abschlussleiste gerade im Bereich des Aufnahmeschlitzes erreicht.A door according to the invention for a domestic refrigeration appliance comprises an outer wall which has an upper bent web. In addition, the door includes an upper end strip, which is a component separate from the outer wall. This upper end strip has a receiving slot into which the bent web of the outer wall is inserted in the assembled state of the door. An essential idea of the invention can be seen in the fact that the end strip has at least one latching element which is formed adjacent to the receiving slot and is latched to the outer wall in the assembled state of the door. With such a design, an improved mechanical connection between the outer wall and the end strip is achieved in the area of the receiving slot in the case of modularly constructed doors.

Es ist vorgesehen, dass in Richtung der Längsachse der Abschlussleiste betrachtet neben dem Rastelement zumindest eine Rippe ausgebildet ist. Diese Rippe weist eine der Außenwand zugewandte Vorderseite auf, die mit einer ersten Teilfläche schräg zu einer Außenwand orientiert ist. Insbesondere ist hier eine schräge Orientierung an einem frontseitigen plattenartigen Teil der Außenwand ausgebildet, wobei der Steg dann an einen oberen Rand dieses plattenartigen Teils anschließt und entsprechend umgebogen ist. Durch diese Spezifikation mit der Rippe und deren individueller geometrischer Ausgestaltung wird das Einführen des Stegs in den Aufnahmeschlitz erleichtert und die Bewegbarkeit des Rastelements sowie die Verrastung begünstigt.It is provided that, viewed in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the end strip, at least one rib is formed in addition to the latching element. This rib has a front side facing the outer wall, which is oriented with a first partial surface obliquely to an outer wall. In particular, an oblique orientation is formed here on a front plate-like part of the outer wall, the web then adjoining an upper edge of this plate-like part and being bent over accordingly. This specification with the rib and its individual geometrical configuration facilitates the insertion of the web into the receiving slot and promotes the movability of the latching element and the latching.

Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass das Rastelement in der Abschlussleiste integriert ausgebildet ist. Dadurch ist es dauerhaft positionssicher angeordnet und die Verrastung kann hier zielgerichtet und sicher erfolgen. Darüber hinaus ist durch eine derartige Ausgestaltung auch eine bauteilminimierte Abschlussleiste bereitgestellt.Provision is preferably made for the latching element to be integrated in the end strip. As a result, it is permanently positioned and the locking can take place safely and in a targeted manner. In addition, a configuration-minimized end strip is also provided by such a configuration.

Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass das Rastelement federnd an der Abschlussleiste ausgebildet ist. Dadurch kann sich das Rastelement relativ zu einem Basisteil der Abschlussleiste bewegen, wodurch einerseits das Einführen des Stegs in den Aufnahmeschlitz erleichtert ist und andererseits der verrastete Zustand sicher definiert hergestellt werden kann. Darüber hinaus ist es durch diese federnde Ausgestaltung des Rastelements auch ermöglicht, dass beim Einführen des Stegs in den Aufnahmeschlitz das dann bereits mit dem Steg insbesondere kontaktierte Rastelement im gewissen Maße nachgeben kann und somit hier auch keine unerwünscht starken Kräfte auf das Rastelement auftreten.It is preferably provided that the latching element is resilient on the end strip. As a result, the latching element can move relative to a base part of the end strip, which on the one hand facilitates the insertion of the web into the receiving slot and on the other hand allows the latched state to be produced in a defined manner. In addition, this resilient design of the latching element also makes it possible for the web to be inserted into the receiving slot which can then yield to a certain extent already in contact with the web and thus no undesirable strong forces on the locking element.

Vorzugsweise wird durch eine Oberseite des Rastelements der Aufnahmeschlitz von unten begrenzt. Diese Oberseite des Rastelements bildet somit eine untere Begrenzungswand des Aufnahmeschlitzes. Dadurch wird auch die unmittelbare benachbarte Anordnung und auch der Kontakt des Rastelements mit dem Steg begünstigt und die gewünschte zuverlässige und sichere Verrastung erreicht. Dadurch wird auch ein direkter Kontakt zwischen dem Rastelement und dem Steg selbst erreicht.The receiving slot is preferably delimited from below by an upper side of the latching element. This upper side of the locking element thus forms a lower boundary wall of the receiving slot. This also favors the immediate adjacent arrangement and also the contact of the latching element with the web and achieves the desired reliable and secure latching. This also results in direct contact between the latching element and the web itself.

Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass diese Rippe eine zweite Teilfläche an der Vorderseite aufweist, die sich parallel zur Außenwand erstreckt. Durch diese Ausgestaltung wird in vorteilhafter Weise erreicht, dass im zusammengesetzten Zustand diese zweite Teilfläche eine Abdichtung zur Außenwand hin bildet, sodass thermisch isolierendes Material wie beispielsweise Isolationsschaum dann nicht unerwünscht an Stellen der Abschlussleiste gelangen kann. Gerade in dem Bereich des Rastelements wird dann ein Schaumaustritt an der Schnittstelle zwischen der Außenwand und der Abschlussleiste verhindert.It is preferably provided that this rib has a second partial surface on the front, which extends parallel to the outer wall. This configuration advantageously ensures that, in the assembled state, this second partial surface forms a seal against the outer wall, so that thermally insulating material such as, for example, insulation foam cannot then undesirably reach places on the end strip. In the area of the locking element in particular, foam leakage at the interface between the outer wall and the end strip is prevented.

Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass die zweite Teilfläche dieser Vorderseite der Rippe im zusammengesetzten Zustand der Tür an einer der Abschlussleiste zugewandten Innenseite der Außenwand direkt anliegt. Dadurch wird eine Stabilisierung der genannten Komponenten zueinander erreicht und die bereits oben genannte vorteilhafte Angabe, dass ein Austritt eines Isolationsschaums an der Schnittstelle zwischen der Abschlussleiste und der Außenwand verhindert wird, nochmals begünstigt.It is preferably provided that the second partial surface of this front of the rib, when the door is assembled, bears directly against an inside of the outer wall facing the end strip. As a result, the components mentioned are stabilized with respect to one another and the aforementioned advantageous indication that an insulation foam is prevented from escaping at the interface between the end strip and the outer wall is further favored.

Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass die zweite Teilfläche in Höhenrichtung der Tür betrachtet unter der ersten Teilfläche ausgebildet ist und an die erste Teilfläche mündet.It is preferably provided that the second partial surface, viewed in the vertical direction of the door, is formed under the first partial surface and opens onto the first partial surface.

Insbesondere ist die Abschlussleiste mit zumindest einem integrierten Kabelkanal ausgebildet. Ein derartiger Kabelkanal schützt somit die Durchführung von Kabeln wesentlich. Vorzugsweise ist dieser Kabelkanal als von der Abschlussleiste nach unten stehendes Element ausgebildet, welches somit auch holmartig gebildet ist.In particular, the end strip is designed with at least one integrated cable duct. Such a cable duct thus significantly protects the passage of cables. This cable duct is preferably designed as an element standing downward from the end strip, which element is thus also made like a spar.

Insbesondere durch diesen integrierten Kabelkanal wird auch eine Grobzentrierung und Grobführung beim Zusammensetzen der Abschlussleiste mit der Außenwand erreicht. Denn dieser Kabelkanal wird dann bereits in Bereiche der Außenwand eingeführt, bevor das Basisteil der Abschlussleiste den Steg erreicht hat und somit auch bevor der Steg in den Aufnahmeschlitz eingeführt wird. Somit wird durch diesen Kabelkanal auf dem Weg der Abschlussleiste in die Endposition zum dann noch vorzunehmenden Einführen des Stegs in den Aufnahmeschlitz im gewissen Maße eine derartige Grobführung erreicht, sodass auch hier kein unerwünschtes Verkippen oder Verspreizen der Abschlussleiste, insbesondere des Basisteils, auftritt. Dadurch wird dann auch eine ausreichend genaue Zwischenposition erreicht, von der dann ausgehend der Steg in den Aufnahmeschlitz eingeschoben wird und eine Verrastung mit dem Rastelement erfolgt. Durch die genannten Ausführungen wird auch eine sehr einfache und werkzeuglose Montage erreicht.This integrated cable duct in particular also enables rough centering and rough guidance when assembling the end strip with the outer wall. Because this cable duct is then already introduced into areas of the outer wall before the base part of the end strip has reached the web and thus also before the web is inserted into the receiving slot. Thus, through this cable duct on the way of the end strip into the end position for the insertion of the Ridges in the receiving slot achieve such a rough guidance to a certain extent, so that here too there is no undesired tilting or spreading of the end strip, in particular of the base part. As a result, a sufficiently precise intermediate position is then reached, from which the web is then inserted into the receiving slot and locked with the locking element. A very simple and tool-free assembly is also achieved by the above-mentioned designs.

Die Ausgestaltung der Abschlussleiste kann mit all ihren zusätzlichen Komponenten in vorteilhafter Weise einstückig vorgesehen sein.The configuration of the end strip can advantageously be provided in one piece with all its additional components.

Bezüglich der Verrastung kann vorgesehen sein, dass auf der Oberseite des Rastelements eine Raststruktur ausgebildet ist, die dann in eine Rastaufnahme der Außenwand insbesondere des Stegs, eingreift. Beispielsweise kann hier eine Raststruktur eine gewisse Erhebung sein, die dann in eine kompatible Vertiefung eingreift.With regard to the latching, it can be provided that a latching structure is formed on the upper side of the latching element, which then engages in a latching receptacle of the outer wall, in particular of the web. For example, a latching structure can be a certain elevation here, which then engages in a compatible depression.

Es kann jedoch auch vorgesehen sein, dass der Steg nicht nur als ebener Streifen ausgebildet ist, sondern in sich selbst wiederum gewinkelt ist, sodass er im Querschnitt beispielsweise L-förmig ausgebildet ist und mit dieser Form dann an der Frontseite beziehungsweise dem Frontteil der Außenwand umgebogen sich wegerstreckt. Ist dieser Steg dann auch in sich gebogen beziehungsweise gewinkelt, kann er beim Einführen in den Aufnahmeschlitz dann auch so gestaltet sein, dass er zum Verrasten das Rastelement hintergreift beziehungsweise hinterschnappt. Bei einer derartigen Ausgestaltung ist es dann nicht mehr erforderlich, dass das Rastelement selbst noch eine Raststruktur aufweist, insbesondere ist es dann nicht mehr erforderlich, dass an der Oberseite des Rastelements eine derartige Raststruktur ausgebildet ist.However, it can also be provided that the web is not only designed as a flat strip, but is in turn angled in itself, so that it is, for example, L-shaped in cross section and then bent with this shape on the front or the front part of the outer wall stretched out. If this web is then also bent or angled in itself, it can then also be designed when inserted into the receiving slot in such a way that it engages behind or snaps behind the latching element for latching. With such a configuration, it is then no longer necessary for the latching element itself to have a latching structure, in particular it is then no longer necessary for such a latching structure to be formed on the upper side of the latching element.

Des Weiteren betrifft die Erfindung auch ein Haushaltskältegerät mit einer erfindungsgemäßen Tür oder einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung davon.Furthermore, the invention also relates to a household refrigeration device with a door according to the invention or an advantageous embodiment thereof.

In Fig. 1 ist in einer perspektivischen vereinfachten Darstellung ein Ausführungsbeispiel eines Haushaltskältegeräts 1 gezeigt. Das Haushaltskältegerät 1 kann beispielsweise ein Kühlgerät oder ein Gefriergerät oder ein Kühl-Gefrier-Kombigerät sein. Das Haushaltskältegerät 1 ist zum Lagern und Konservieren von Lebensmitteln ausgebildet. Es weist ein Gehäuse 2 auf, in dem zumindest ein Aufnahmeraum 3 für die Lebensmittel ausgebildet ist. An dem Gehäuse 2 ist eine Tür 4 verschwenkbar angeordnet, sodass der Aufnahmeraum 3 von vorne beziehungsweise frontseitig verschließbar ist.In Fig. 1 An embodiment of a household refrigeration device 1 is shown in a perspective, simplified illustration. The household refrigerator 1 can be, for example, a refrigerator or a freezer or a fridge-freezer combination. The household refrigerator 1 is designed for storing and preserving food. It has a housing 2 in which at least one receiving space 3 for the food is formed. A door 4 is pivotably arranged on the housing 2, so that the receiving space 3 can be closed from the front or from the front.

Die Tür 4 ist mehrteilig aufgebaut.The door 4 is constructed in several parts.

In Fig. 2 ist in perspektivischer Darstellung ein separierter Zustand von zwei Komponenten gezeigt. Die Teildarstellung der Tür 4 zeigt in dem Zusammenhang eine Außenwand 5, die beispielsweise einstückig ausgebildet ist und insbesondere aus Blech ist.In Fig. 2 a separated state of two components is shown in perspective. The partial representation of the door 4 shows in the context an outer wall 5, which is formed, for example, in one piece and is in particular made of sheet metal.

Diese Außenwand 5 weist ein plattenartiges Basisteil 6 auf. An einem oberen Rand dieses Basisteils 6 ist ein umgebogener Steg 7 gestaltet, der sich vorzugsweise über die gesamte Breite (Erstreckung in x-Richtung) bei geschlossener Tür 4 erstreckt. Vorzugsweise ist der Steg 7 in einem rechten Winkel zu dem Basisteil 6 umgebogen.This outer wall 5 has a plate-like base part 6. A bent web 7 is designed on an upper edge of this base part 6 and preferably extends over the entire width (extension in the x direction) when the door 4 is closed. The web 7 is preferably bent at a right angle to the base part 6.

Wie in der Darstellung in Fig. 2 zu erkennen ist, umfasst die Außenwand 5 an den gegenüberliegenden Seiten auch noch Profile 8 und 9. Diese Profile 8 und 9 weisen seitlich offene Mulden beziehungsweise Vertiefungen 10 und 11 auf, die als Griffmulden gestaltet sind. Dies bedeutet, dass die Tür 4 frontseitig keinerlei weiteren aufgesetzten Griff aufweist und somit an einer Frontseite bzw. Außenseite 6a des Basisteils 6 kein zusätzlicher Griff angebracht ist.As in the illustration in Fig. 2 can be seen, the outer wall 5 also comprises profiles 8 and 9 on the opposite sides. These profiles 8 and 9 have laterally open depressions or depressions 10 and 11 which are designed as recessed handles. This means that the door 4 does not have any other handle attached on the front and therefore no additional handle is attached to a front or outside 6a of the base part 6.

Die Tür 4 umfasst darüber hinaus eine zur Außenwand 5 separate obere Abschlussleiste 12, die insbesondere einstückig, vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff, ausgebildet ist. Diese obere Abschlussleiste 12 umfasst ebenfalls ein Basisteil 13, welches länglich ausgebildet ist. An dem Basisteil 13 sind im Ausführungsbeispiel an in Richtung einer Längsachse A des Basisteils 13 betrachtet gegenüberliegenden Enden einstückig angeformte Kabelkanäle 14 und 15 ausgebildet. Diese Kabelkanäle 14 und 15 erstrecken sich senkrecht nach unten.The door 4 also includes an upper end strip 12 which is separate from the outer wall 5 and which is in particular made in one piece, preferably from plastic. This upper end strip 12 also comprises a base part 13, which is elongated. In the exemplary embodiment, cable ducts 14 and 15 are integrally formed on the base part 13 in the exemplary embodiment at opposite ends, viewed in the direction of a longitudinal axis A of the base part 13. These cable channels 14 and 15 extend vertically downwards.

An dem Basisteil 13 ist darüber hinaus ein Aufnahmeschlitz 16 ausgebildet. Im zusammengesetzten Zustand taucht der Steg 7 in diesen Aufnahmeschlitz 16 ein und ist darin gehalten. Der sich über die gesamte Ausdehnung entlang der Längsachse A des Basisteils 13 erstreckende Aufnahmeschlitz 16 ist durch eine obere Begrenzungswand 16a von oben begrenzt. Eine untere Begrenzungswand 16b ist ebenso vorgesehen. In dieser unteren Begrenzungswand 16b sind im Ausführungsbeispiel auch zwei Rastelemente 17 und 18 integral ausgebildet. Diese Rastelemente 17 und 18 sind vorzugsweise auch relativ bewegbar, insbesondere federnd, gegenüber dem Basisteil 13 ausgebildet. Durch diese Rastelemente 17 und 18 wird die Außenwand 5, insbesondere der Steg 7, mit der Abschlussleiste 12 verrastet.A receiving slot 16 is also formed on the base part 13. In the assembled state, the web 7 dips into this receiving slot 16 and is held therein. The receiving slot 16, which extends over the entire extent along the longitudinal axis A of the base part 13, is delimited from above by an upper boundary wall 16a. A lower boundary wall 16b is also provided. In this lower boundary wall 16b there are also two in the exemplary embodiment Locking elements 17 and 18 integrally formed. These locking elements 17 and 18 are preferably also relatively movable, in particular resilient, with respect to the base part 13. By means of these latching elements 17 and 18, the outer wall 5, in particular the web 7, is latched to the end strip 12.

In Fig. 3 ist ein vergrößerter Ausschnitt der Abschlussleiste 12 im Bereich des Rastelements 17 gezeigt. Wie dabei zu erkennen ist, bildet eine der oberen Begrenzungswand 16a zugewandte Oberseite 17a des Rastelements 17 einen Teilbereich der unteren Begrenzungswand 16b.In Fig. 3 an enlarged section of the end strip 12 is shown in the area of the latching element 17. As can be seen here, an upper side 17a of the latching element 17 facing the upper boundary wall 16a forms a partial region of the lower boundary wall 16b.

Benachbart und somit in Richtung der Längsachse A unmittelbar jeweils anschließend an das Rastelement 17 sind Rippen 19 und 20 integral ausgebildet. Die Rippen 19 und 20 weisen jeweils eine der Außenwand 5 zugewandte Vorderseite 21 und 22 auf. Wie zu erkennen ist, sind diese Vorderseiten 21 und 22 jedoch nicht vollständig eben, sondern geknickt beziehungsweise gewinkelt ausgebildet. Dazu umfasst die Vorderseite 21 eine erste Teilfläche 21a, die gegenüber einer Innenseite 6b (Fig. 8) des Basisteils 6 schräg gestellt ist. Nach unten hin anschließend an diese erste Teilfläche 21a ist eine zweite Teilfläche 21b ausgebildet. Diese verläuft vorzugsweise parallel zu der Innenseite 6b. Im zusammengesetzten Zustand der Abschlussleiste 12 mit der Außenwand 5 liegt dann diese zweite Teilfläche 21b direkt an der Innenseite 6b an. Dadurch wird eine hohe Dichtheit erreicht, und ein Austritt eines thermisch isolierenden Materials, insbesondere eines Schaummaterials an der Schnittstelle zwischen der Außenwand 5 und der Abschlussleiste 12 kann dadurch verhindert werden.Neighboring and thus in the direction of the longitudinal axis A immediately following the locking element 17, ribs 19 and 20 are integrally formed. The ribs 19 and 20 each have a front side 21 and 22 facing the outer wall 5. As can be seen, these front sides 21 and 22 are, however, not completely flat, but rather are bent or angled. For this purpose, the front side 21 comprises a first partial surface 21a, which is opposite an inner side 6b ( Fig. 8 ) of the base part 6 is inclined. A second partial surface 21b is formed at the bottom of this first partial surface 21a. This preferably runs parallel to the inside 6b. In the assembled state of the end strip 12 with the outer wall 5, this second partial surface 21b then lies directly against the inside 6b. As a result, a high degree of tightness is achieved and leakage of a thermally insulating material, in particular a foam material, at the interface between the outer wall 5 and the end strip 12 can be prevented.

In entsprechender Weise ist die weitere Rippe 20 ausgebildet, die ebenfalls Teilflächen 22a und 22b als deren Vorderseite 22 aufweist.In a corresponding manner, the further rib 20 is formed, which also has partial surfaces 22a and 22b as its front side 22.

In Fig. 4 ist die Abschlussleiste 12 in einer weiteren Teildarstellung gezeigt, wobei hier die Schnittlinie nicht durch die Rippe 20, sondern durch das Rastelement 17 gezogen ist. Die diesbezüglich hohle, nach hinten offene Ausführung dieses Rastelements 17 ist gezeigt.In Fig. 4 the end strip 12 is shown in a further partial illustration, the cutting line here not being drawn through the rib 20 but through the latching element 17. The hollow, rearwardly open design of this locking element 17 is shown.

Ausgehend von dem Montagezustand beziehungsweise den Herstellungszustand in Fig. 2 wird dann zunächst von oben die Abschlussleiste 12 in Richtung der Außenwand 5 bewegt, wobei dazu dann die Kabelkanäle 14 und 15 zur Grobpositionierung und somit auch zur weiteren Grobführung in entsprechende Aufnahmen der Außenwand 5, insbesondere im Bereich der Profile 8 und 9, eingreifen. Zur weiteren Montage wird dann nachfolgend auf den Zustand in Fig. 5 gemäß der Darstellung in Fig. 6 die Abschlussleiste 12 weiter nach unten geschoben, bis der Aufnahmeschlitz 16 auf Höhe des Stegs 7 positioniert ist. Die Abschlussleiste 12 wird somit ausgehend von der Darstellung in Fig. 5 von oben aufgesetzt und es erfolgt somit erst ein Fügen auf der Rückseite, indem die Abschlussleiste 12 quasi nach unten geschoben wird.Starting from the state of assembly or the state of manufacture in Fig. 2 the end strip 12 is then first moved in the direction of the outer wall 5 from above, with the cable ducts 14 and 15 then being used for rough positioning and thus also engage in corresponding receptacles in the outer wall 5, in particular in the region of the profiles 8 and 9, for further rough guidance. For further assembly, the condition in Fig. 5 as shown in Fig. 6 the end strip 12 is pushed further down until the receiving slot 16 is positioned at the level of the web 7. The end strip 12 is thus based on the illustration in FIG Fig. 5 put on from above and there is thus only a joining on the back, by pushing the end strip 12 quasi downwards.

Zur weiteren Montage wird dann gemäß der Darstellung in Fig. 7, in welcher der vollständig zusammengesetzte Zustand gezeigt ist, der Steg 7 in den Aufnahmeschlitz 16 eingeführt. Insbesondere erfolgt dies dadurch, dass die Abschlussleiste 12 quasi nach vorne verschwenkt wird, sodass der Steg 7 in den Aufnahmeschlitz 16 eintaucht. Hierbei wird automatisch dann auch ein Kontakt zwischen dem Steg 7 und den Rastelementen 17 und 18 hergestellt und im vollständig eingeschobenen Zustand des Stegs 7 dann auch eine Verrastung zwischen den Rastelementen 17 und 18 und der Außenwand 5, insbesondere dem Steg 7, herbeigeführt. In dem Zustand sind dann, wie bereits oben erwähnt, auch die Dichtlippen in Form der insbesondere vorgesehenen zweiten Teilflächen 21b und 22b an der Innenseite 6b anliegend. Entsprechendes ist dann auch bei dem Rastelement 18 mit den jeweils an gegenüberliegenden Seiten benachbart ausgebildeten Rippen erreicht. Hierzu wird auf die Ausgestaltung gemäß Fig. 3 und Fig. 4 verwiesen.For further assembly is then as shown in Fig. 7 , in which the fully assembled state is shown, the web 7 is inserted into the receiving slot 16. In particular, this is done in that the end strip 12 is pivoted forward so that the web 7 is immersed in the receiving slot 16. In this case, a contact between the web 7 and the locking elements 17 and 18 is then automatically established and, when the web 7 is fully inserted, a latching between the locking elements 17 and 18 and the outer wall 5, in particular the web 7, is brought about. In this state, as already mentioned above, the sealing lips in the form of the second partial surfaces 21b and 22b provided in particular are also in contact with the inside 6b. The same is then achieved in the latching element 18 with the ribs which are formed adjacent on opposite sides. For this purpose, the design according to 3 and 4 referred.

In Fig. 8 ist in einer perspektivischen Schnittdarstellung entlang der Schnittfläche I in Fig. 7 der diesbezüglich ineinandergreifende Zustand zwischen dem Steg 7 und dem Aufnahmeschlitz 16 sowie die Verrastung gezeigt. Es ist darüber hinaus auch zu erkennen, dass auch eine Vorderseite 17b des Rastelements 17 an der Innenseite 6b anliegt. Entsprechendes gilt dann auch für eine Vorderseite des Rastelements 18.In Fig. 8 is in a perspective sectional view along the sectional area I in Fig. 7 the interlocking state between the web 7 and the receiving slot 16 as well as the latching are shown. It can also be seen that a front side 17b of the locking element 17 also bears on the inside 6b. The same applies to a front side of the latching element 18.

In Fig. 9 ist in einer perspektivischen Schnittdarstellung ein Ausschnitt der Ausgestaltung in Fig. 7 gezeigt, wobei hier ein Schnitt durch die Rippe 20 dargestellt ist. Es ist hier dann die direkte Anlage der Teilfläche 22b an der Innenseite 6b zu erkennen.In Fig. 9 is a perspective sectional view of a section of the configuration in Fig. 7 shown, a section through the rib 20 is shown here. The direct contact of the partial surface 22b on the inside 6b can then be seen here.
