The DE 102012111159 A1 describes a device for the presentation of electrical appliances together with accessories such as vacuum cleaners, nozzles, pipes and bags.

Against this background, the present invention has the object to provide an improved holding device for holding a bottle in a refrigerator, an improved refrigerator and a method for producing a holding device for holding a bottle in a refrigerator.

According to the invention this object is achieved by a holding device, a cooling device and a method having the features of the main claims. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the invention will become apparent from the following subclaims.

A holding device for holding a bottle in a refrigerator is presented. The holding device has a first bracket and a second bracket, each having a first leg and a second leg and can be arranged side by side in the refrigerator, that the first leg form a first rail for placing the bottle and / or the second leg a form second rail for laying the or another bottle.

Under a refrigerator, for example, a refrigerator or a Weintemperierer be understood. Under a bracket can be understood an angularly shaped, for example, triangle-like element. The first and the second leg may, for example, represent two legs of a triangle indicated by the bracket and, depending on the embodiment, be the same or different in length. Accordingly, depending on the embodiment of the legs, the first and second rails may be inclined the same or differently. Under a rail can be understood a support surface for supporting the bottle in the refrigerator. For example, the bottle may rest at least in sections on two mutually parallel inner edges of the bracket arranged side by side in the refrigerator.

The approach described here is based on the recognition that a presenter for arranging wine bottles in a wine tempering device can be realized as a rail of two hanger-like rail parts. The rail parts are angled, so that the wine bottles can be stored employed on the presenter, which is particularly advantageous for the storage of longer bottles. Thus, longer bottles can be stored to save space next to bottles of normal size in the Weintemperierer.

According to one embodiment, the brackets are arranged side by side in the cooling device such that the first leg of the first bracket is aligned parallel to the first leg of the second bracket and / or the second leg of the first bracket is aligned parallel to the second leg of the second bracket parallel to each other aligned first leg forming a first rail for placing the bottle and / or the parallel aligned second leg form a second rail for laying the or the other bottle. By a parallel alignment of the legs, a bottle can be taken very stable.

According to one embodiment, the first rail and the second rail may each have a different angle of inclination. Since a possible space-saving storage especially longer bottles in the refrigerator is possible.

According to a further embodiment, at least one inner edge of the first rail or, additionally or alternatively, at least one inner edge of the second rail may have a chamfer for placing the bottle. As a result, the bearing surface of the bottle can be increased, thus ensuring a secure hold of the bottle in the holding device.

It is advantageous if the first bracket or, additionally or alternatively, the second bracket is made in one piece. As a result, the holding device can be produced inexpensively.

Further, it is advantageous if the first bracket or, additionally or alternatively, the second bracket is fixable in a storage rack of the refrigerator. Under a storage rack can be understood in the cooling device can be arranged bottom or frame with a grid-like structure.

Under a Verrastungselement can be understood, for example, a hook, a latch or a pin. The latching element can be arranged for example at a free end of the first or second bracket. Under a rack, a bar with a plurality of juxtaposed receiving elements for positive or non-positive reception of the Verrastungselementes be understood. This allows a fine adjustment of a distance between the two brackets in the refrigerator. Furthermore, the two brackets can be secured against slipping sideways.

Thus, the bracket can be independently fixed in a selectable distance from each other in the storage rack. The free selectability of the distance can be given, for example, by a distance of the teeth of a rack of the storage rack on which the bracket can be fixed. In that the distance of the bracket can be adjusted by a user of the holding device, the holding device can be adapted to different bottle widths.

It is advantageous if the first bracket or, additionally or alternatively, the second bracket has a leg receptacle for receiving a free end of the first leg and a free end of the second leg. For example, a leg receptacle may be understood to mean a stirrup base interconnecting the two legs of a stirrup. For example, the leg receptacle may be a rod-shaped or profile-shaped cross strut. As a result, the stability of the holding device can be increased.

The leg receptacle can optionally be fixable in the cooling device. As a result, the holding device can be easily fixed in the refrigerator.
