Definitions
- This invention relates to a bracket for support bases in household appliances, having at least one profiled rail, which is mounted, extending substantially vertically, in a reception chamber of the household appliance, and at least one support element to which a support base is attached and which can be selectively displaced along the profiled rail or can be fixed in place on the profiled rail.
- This invention also relates to a bracket for support bases in a refrigerator or a freezer, or in an oven.
- the height of the support bases which are embodied as supports for refrigerated or frozen goods, or supports for baked or roasted goods, can be adjusted, so that the distance of the support bases with respect to each other, or to the bottom or the ceiling of the refrigerator, freezer or oven compartment can be set according to the size of the goods to be supported.
- European Patent Reference EP-A-0 619 464 which defines the species, discloses a refrigerator with a part of the body delimiting a refrigeration compartment on which the refrigerator door is hinged, and with shelves attached to the lateral wall of the refrigerator. Respectively, two rails, which extend vertically and parallel with each other, are fastened on the lateral walls of the refrigerator for holding the shelves and have snap-in recesses at predefined distances. Supporting elements are displaceably maintained in the rails, which can be selectively snapped into the snap-in recesses of the rails, so that the height of the shelves in the refrigerator compartment can be adjusted in steps. On their sides facing each other, the supporting elements have guide elements, which engage grooves in the lateral front edges of the shelves, so that the shelves can be pulled out of the refrigerator compartment, like drawers, when the refrigerator door is open.
- EP-A-0 601 686 A support arrangement for refrigerated goods in refrigerators is disclosed by European Patent Reference EP-A-0 601 686, which has at least two profiled rails, two support arms, which are releasably attached thereon and on which a support plate for refrigerated goods is seated, as well as a transverse arm releasably attached to the profiled rails, to which a smaller support plate for refrigerated goods is attached, which is displaceable in the horizontal direction.
- the profiled rails made of metal or plastic are secured by screws on the rear wall of a refrigerator, so that they extend in the vertical direction and are spaced apart from each other in the horizontal direction.
- Each profiled rail has a U-shaped cross section and has over its length a plurality of evenly spaced-apart slits used for receiving hook-shaped ends of the support arms, or of the transverse arm.
- the height of the support plates for the refrigerated goods can be adjusted in steps, the same as in a commercially available shelf system, and the support arms, or the transverse arm, are initially removed from the profiled rails and are then suspended with their hook-shaped ends in the appropriate slits at another location in the profiled rails.
- Scissor mechanisms are known for baking and roasting ovens, as taught by German Patent Reference DE-U-75 07 126, with scissor legs that can be locked together at different angular positions to adjust the height of the baking or roasting good support in steps.
- a scissor leg has a detent neck in the vicinity of the scissors joint, while the other scissors joint has a curved section with a plurality of catch recesses for the selective reception of the detent neck.
- the height of the support bases can only be adjusted in relatively large steps. Also, these support bases are hard to clean, particularly because of the catch recesses or slits required for the positive holding of the support bases, in which dirt can easily accumulate.
- each support arm is formed as a housing for receiving a worm drive used for driving a pinion gear seated in the support arm.
- the pinion gear meshes with a section of a toothed rack on the profiled guide element assigned to the respective support arm, so that the support arm, and thus the support base, can be adjusted by rotating the pinion gear via the worm drive.
- one object of this invention is to provide a bracket for support bases in household appliances which is simply designed and is easy to clean and permits a more flexible adjustment of the height of the support bases in contrast to the species-defining prior art.
- a bracket for support bases in household appliances having at least one profiled rail mounted, substantially vertically extending, in a reception chamber of the household appliance, and at least one support element on which a support base is mounted and which can be selectively displaced along the profiled rail or can be fixed in place on the profiled rail, the support element can be fixed in place substantially positively with respect to a movement along the profiled rail.
- the fastening of the support element on the profiled rail, catch recesses or slits in the profiled rail can be omitted, so that the profiled rail can have a continuous, or smooth, and thus easy to clean surface.
- the support element can be fixed in place in any arbitrary height position on the profiled rail, such as during a height adjustment of the support base, there is no restriction to height positions preset in steps by the position of catch detents or slits, such as with the prior art.
- the support element can be fixed in place on the profiled rail in the manner of a frictional locking mechanism.
- the support element has a first contact area, which can be placed against a front side of the profiled rail facing the support base, and a second contact area, which can be placed against a back of the profiled rail at a location which lies higher than the contact location in the first contact area at the front of the profiled rail.
- the support element is maintained on the profiled rail by static friction, wherein the dead weight of the support element, of the support base and of the goods possibly deposited on the support base generates a torque at the support element, which is supported over the contact areas on the profiled rail.
- the forces F n which during this are exerted by the contact areas on the profiled rail and act normally with respect to the profiled rail, cause reaction forces F r which, acting in the direction of the longitudinal extension of the profiled rail, maintain the support element on the profiled rail, for example counteract the dead weight of the support element, of the support base and of the goods possibly deposited on the support base, and whose value corresponds to the product of the normal force F n and the coefficient of static friction ⁇ O .
- an alternative of the positive fastening the support element has a sleeve section forming the first and second contact areas in a simple manner, which surrounds the profiled rail with play so that the support element can be tilted in relation to the profiled rail between a holding position in which the contact areas rest against the front, or the back, of the profiled rail, and a displacement position, in which the support element can be displaced along the profiled rail.
- the sleeve section is advantageously used for the defined guidance of the support element on the profiled rail.
- a receiving cutout is on the side of the support element facing the front of the profiled rail, into which a tapered slide can be inserted which, in the inserted state, rests against the support element, as well as against the front of the profiled rail in order to secure the support element in the holding position against tilting with respect to the profiled rail. It is thus simply prevented that the support element is inadvertently tilted out of the holding position into the displacement position, for example by lifting the support base, and then slides downward along the profiled rail.
- the tapered slide can have a protrusion on its side facing away from the profiled rail, which extends behind an undercut on the receiving cutout of the support element.
- the protrusion is used in an advantageous manner as a safeguard against loss of the tapered slide, wherein during a height adjustment of the support base, it can be pulled out of the receiving cutout of the support element only until the protrusion rests against the undercut of the receiving cutout.
- the second contact area of the support element has micro-teeth which can be engaged with complementary micro-teeth at the back of the profiled rail.
- the micro-teeth are used for additional safeguarding of the support element against slipping along the profiled rail.
- the embodiment with micro-teeth is particularly recommended for applications in which, for example because of temperature or moisture conditions, only a small coefficient of static friction ⁇ O is provided or could become reduced.
- the positive fastening is disclosed in claim 7 , in accordance with which the support element can be fixed in place on the profiled rail as a clamp.
- the support element has a slit and a resiliently embodied sleeve section enclosing the profiled rail, which is adjoined by two legs extending on both sides of the slit, which can be moved toward or away from each other from a holding position into a displacement position, and vice versa, using an eccentric toggle mechanism wherein, in the holding position, the sleeve section is clamped in place on the profiled rail, and in the displacement position snaps back so that the support element can be displaced along the profiled rail.
- this fastening principle too, which is similar to the principle of fastening a seat support in the frame tube of a bicycle, the support element is simply maintained on the profiled rail by static friction.
- the sleeve section advantageously has a cross-sectional shape of the inner circumference which, in cooperation with the cross-sectional shape of the outer circumference of the profiled rail, in the holding position positively prevents the twisting of the support element in a plane perpendicular to the direction of the longitudinal extension of the profiled rail, so that no additional components are thus required.
- the support base can glued, riveted and/or screwed to the support element.
- the embodiment according to claim 9 has the support base releasably snapped together with the support element by at least one snap-on device.
- the snap-on device has a plurality of resilient protrusions, which are fastened on the support element or embodied in one piece with it and which, in the assembled state of the support base, extend through a through-bore in the support base, and on their free ends each has a snap-in projection extending behind the support base.
- the support element usefully has an arm section as set forth in claim 11 , which has a flat contact surface on which the support base rests, wherein the at least one snap-on device is formed near or in the area of this contact surface.
- a groove advantageously adjoins the contact surface of the arm section in the direction toward the profiled rail, which is embodied in the support element and is used for the positive reception of an edge of the support base.
- the snap-on device when lifting the support base, only needs to prevent the support base from being inadvertently separated from the contact surface of the arm section.
- the support base When the support base is pushed down, a separation from the contact surface of the arm section is prevented by the groove.
- one end of the profiled rail is releasably received in a cutout in the bottom of the reception chamber, while the other end of the profiled rail is releasably received in a cutout in the ceiling of the reception chamber.
- the length of the profiled rail is less by a defined amount than the clear distance of the bottoms of the cutouts, and the defined amount is greater than the depth of the cutout in the bottom of the reception chamber.
- the profiled rail advantageously has a cross-sectional shape on an outer circumference which, in cooperation with the cross-sectional shape at the inner circumference of the cutouts, positively prevents the twisting of the profiled rail in the cutouts, so that no additional components are required for this purpose.
