Description

The invention relates to a holding device for holding a bottle in a cooling device, a cooling device and a method for producing a holding device for holding a bottle in a cooling device.

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

Against this background, the present invention has the object of creating an improved holding device for holding a bottle in a cooling device, an improved cooling device and a method for producing a holding device for holding a bottle in a cooling device.

According to the invention, this object is achieved by a holding device, a cooling device and a method with the features of the main claims. Advantageous refinements and developments of the invention emerge from the following subclaims.

A holding device for holding a bottle in a cooling device is presented. The holding device has a first bracket and a second bracket, each of which has a first leg and a second leg and can be arranged next to one another in the cooling device in such a way that the first legs form a first rail for placing the bottle and / or the second legs one Form a second rail for placing the or another bottle.

A cooling device can be understood to mean, for example, a refrigerator or a wine tempering device. A bracket can be understood to be an angled, for example triangular-like element. The first and the second limb can represent, for example, two limbs of a triangle indicated by the bracket and, depending on the embodiment, be the same or different lengths. Accordingly, depending on the embodiment of the legs, the first and second rails can be inclined to the same degree or to different degrees. A rail can be understood as a support surface for supporting the bottle in the cooling device. For example, the bottle can rest at least in sections on two inner edges running parallel to one another of the brackets arranged next to one another in the cooling device.

The approach described here is based on the knowledge that a presenter for arranging wine bottles in a wine tempering device can be realized as a rail made of two rail parts similar to clothes hanger. The rail parts are angularly shaped so that the wine bottles can be stored upright on the presenter, which is particularly advantageous when storing longer bottles. This means that longer bottles can be stored in the wine temperer next to bottles of normal size to save space.

According to one embodiment, the brackets can be arranged next to one another in the cooling device 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, the First legs aligned parallel to one another form a first rail for placing the bottle and / or the second legs aligned parallel to one another form a second rail for placing the further bottle or bottles. A bottle can be held in a particularly stable manner by aligning the legs in parallel.

According to one embodiment, the first rail and the second rail can each have a different angle of inclination. This enables the most space-saving storage possible, in particular of longer bottles, in the refrigerator.

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 can have a bevel for placing the bottle on. As a result, the support surface of the bottle can be enlarged and thus a secure hold of the bottle in the holding device can be ensured.

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 manufactured inexpensively.

It is also advantageous if the first bracket or, additionally or alternatively, the second bracket can be fixed in a bearing grate of the cooling device. A storage grate can be understood to mean a floor or frame with a grid-like structure that can be arranged in the cooling device. The grid-like structure can be formed, for example, by a plurality of strips arranged parallel to one another. This means that additional fastening elements for fastening the holding device in the cooling device can be dispensed with.

According to a further embodiment, the first bracket or, additionally or alternatively, the second bracket can have at least one latching element for latching the relevant bracket in a toothed strip of the cooling device. Under a Latching element can be understood, for example, as a hook, a latching lug or a pin. The latching element can be arranged, for example, at a free end of the first or second bracket. A toothed bar can be understood to mean a bar with a plurality of receiving elements arranged next to one another for positively or non-positively receiving the latching element. This enables a fine adjustment of the distance between the two brackets in the refrigerator. Furthermore, the two brackets can thereby be secured against slipping sideways.

Thus, the brackets can be fixed in the storage grate independently at a selectable distance from one another. The free choice of the distance can be given, for example, by a distance between the teeth of a toothed strip of the bearing grate, to which the bracket can be fixed. In that the distance between the brackets 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. A leg receptacle can be understood to mean, for example, a bracket base that connects the two legs of a bracket to one another. For example, the leg receptacle can be a rod-shaped or profile-shaped cross strut. This can increase the stability of the holding device.

The leg receptacle can optionally be fixable in the cooling device. This allows the holding device to be easily fixed in the cooling device.

According to a further embodiment, the holding device can comprise at least one third bracket with a first leg and a second leg. The second bracket and the third bracket can be arranged side by side in the cooling device in such a way that the first legs of the second bracket and the third bracket form a third rail for placing the or another bottle and the second legs of the second bracket and the third bracket form a fourth rail for placing the or another bottle. As a result, the holding device can be expanded modularly with little effort in order to be able to store several bottles inclined in the refrigerator. According to the bracket already described, the second leg of the second bracket can be aligned parallel to the second leg of the third bracket.

The approach presented here also creates a cooling device with a holding device according to one of the preceding embodiments.

According to one embodiment, the cooling device comprises a storage grate. The first bracket and the second bracket can be or can be arranged at different distances from one another in the storage grate. The holding device can advantageously be adapted to different bottle diameters by means of a suitable arrangement of brackets.
