Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kühlschranktür mit auf ihrer Innenseite angeordneten, schalenartigen Ablagefächern, die zur Aufnahme von darin abstellbaren Standardbehältnissen wie Flaschen, quaderförmigen Tüten oder dergleichen dienen. deren Standsicherheit beim Öffnen der Kühlschranktür durch einen U-förmigen, in Aufnahmen gehaltenen Haltebügel durch das aufgrund seiner Schwerkraft erzeugten Haltemomentens unterstützt wird.The invention relates to a refrigerator door with shell-like storage compartments arranged on its inside, which serve to hold standard containers such as bottles, rectangular bags or the like which can be placed therein. whose stability when opening the refrigerator door is supported by a U-shaped holding bracket held in receptacles by the holding torque generated due to its gravity.

Ablagefächer auf der Innenseite von Kühlschranktüren werden vor allem zum Abstellen von häufig benutzten Kühlgut verwendet, da der Zugriff auf derartiges Kühlgut nicht durch andere Lagerware erschwert ist, wie dies bei auf Tragplatten abgestellten Gut häufig der Fall sein kann. Bevorzugt abgestellt wird in derartigen, häufig mit einem umlaufenden Bord versehenen Fächern, neben kleinvolumigen Gut wie Butter, Eier oder dergleichen vor allem auch Kühlgut in hohen Gebinden und Behältern wie beispielsweise Flaschen.Storage compartments on the inside of refrigerator doors are used primarily for storing frequently used refrigerated goods, since access to such refrigerated goods is not made difficult by other stored goods, as can often be the case with goods placed on support plates. In such compartments, which are often provided with a peripheral rim, storage is preferably carried out, in addition to small-volume goods such as butter, eggs or the like, and in particular refrigerated goods in high containers and containers such as bottles.

Für letztere bietet der umlaufende Bord vor allem durch den beim Öffnen der Kühlschranktür entstehenden, plötzlichen Ruck keinen ausreichenden Halt, so daß es vorkommen kann, daß hohes Lagergut über dem Bord kippt wodurch sein Behältnis zerstört oder zumindest das in diesem beinhaltete Gut verschüttet wird.For the latter, the rotating shelf does not provide sufficient hold, especially due to the sudden jolt that occurs when the refrigerator door is opened, so that it can happen that high stored goods tip over the shelf, destroying its container or at least spilling the goods contained in it.

Aus diesem Grund wurde in der DE-AS 10 83 837 ein einem Ablagefach an der Tür zugeordneter, schwenkbar um seine Endteile gelagerter Haltebügel vorgeschlagen, der zusätzlich in oberen Abschnitt des mit hohen Abmessungen ausgestatteten Lagerguts wie beispielsweise Flaschen angreift und diesen dadurch einen verbesserten Halt vor allem beim Öffnen der Tür durch ein aufgrund seines Gewichts erzeugten Haltemoments verleiht.For this reason, in DE-AS 10 83 837 a storage compartment assigned to the door, pivotally mounted around its end parts, the retaining bracket has been proposed, which additionally attacks in the upper section of the stocked items with high dimensions, such as bottles, thereby providing an improved hold gives everything when opening the door by a holding torque generated due to its weight.

Trotz dieser Maßnahme ist es nicht ausgeschlossen, daß beispielsweise hohe Behälter relativ starken, beim Öffnen der Kühlschranktür mit erheblicher Geräuschentwicklung verbundenen Schwankungen unterlegen sind, je nach dem, welchen momentanen Füllstand ein solcher Behälter aufweist.Despite this measure, it cannot be ruled out that, for example, tall containers are subject to relatively strong fluctuations, which are associated with considerable noise when opening the refrigerator door, depending on the instantaneous fill level of such a container.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, in Ablagefächern einer Kühlschranktür abgestellte Behälter, insb. auch solche, deren Grundrisse und deren Behälteraußenabmessungen nicht denen von Standardbehältern entsprechen, vor allem bei ruckartigen Bewegungen der Kühlschranktür, was beim Öffnen dieser der Fall ist, nicht nur sicher zu halten, sondern auch Schwankungen des Kühlguts und die damit verbundenen Geräusche zu vermeiden.The invention is based on the object, in storage compartments of a refrigerator door, especially containers whose layout and outer container dimensions do not correspond to those of standard containers, especially in the case of jerky movements of the refrigerator door, which is the case when this is opened, not only securely hold, but also to avoid fluctuations in the refrigerated goods and the associated noise.

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß dem Haltemoment ein zusätzliches auf den Haltebügel eingeleitetes Haltemoment überlagert ist.This object is achieved according to the invention in that an additional holding torque introduced on the holding bracket is superimposed on the holding torque.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung hat den Vorteil, daß je nach Wirkrichtung des zusätzlichen Haltemoments der Angriffspunkt des Haltemoments am Kühlgut sowie das resultierende Haltemoment den Erfordernissen entsprechend abgestimmt werden kann. Ferner wird durch eine derartige Lösung das in den Ablagefächern abgestellte Kühlgut gegen die Innenseite der Kühlschranktür gedrückt, so daß ein Verrutschen oder gar ein Schwanken des Kühlgutes und die damit verbundene Geräuschentwicklung insb. beim Öffnen der Tür sicher vermieden ist. Außerdem kann auch Kühlgut mit von dem der Standard-Behältnisse abweichenden Abmessungen sicher gehaltert werden.The solution according to the invention has the advantage that, depending on the direction of action of the additional holding torque, the point of application of the holding torque on the refrigerated goods and the resulting holding torque are matched to the requirements can. Furthermore, the refrigerated goods placed in the storage compartments are pressed against the inside of the refrigerator door by such a solution, so that slipping or even fluctuating of the refrigerated goods and the associated noise development, in particular when opening the door, is reliably avoided. In addition, refrigerated goods with dimensions that deviate from the standard containers can be securely held.

Ein besonders hohes Haltemoment und damit besonders standsicher gehalten sind die Behältnisse in Ablagefächern der Tür, wenn nach einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung vorgesehen ist, daß das zusätzliche Haltemoment den durch die Schwerkraft des Haltebügels erzeugten Moment gleichgerichtet ist.The containers in storage compartments of the door have a particularly high holding torque and are thus held in a particularly stable manner if, according to a further preferred embodiment of the object of the invention, it is provided that the additional holding torque is rectified by the moment generated by the gravity of the holding bracket.

Gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß das zusätzliche Haltemoment durch im Bereich um die Lagerstellen des Haltebügels angreifende Federn ausgeübt wird.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the subject matter of the invention, it is provided that the additional holding torque is exerted by springs acting in the area around the bearing points of the holding bracket.

Eine derartige Lösung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, daß die Baugröße der Feder aufgrund ihrer nur kurz auszuführenden Federschenkel gering gehalten werden kann.Such a solution is characterized by the fact that the size of the spring can be kept small due to its short spring legs.

Entsprechend einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die Federn als Drehfedern ausgebildet sind, von deren Federschenkeln sich einer am Haltbügel und der andere in den Aufnahmen abstützt, wobei der Federkörper in den Aufnahmen angeordnet ist.According to a further preferred embodiment of the object of the invention it is provided that the springs are designed as torsion springs, one of the spring legs of which is supported on the bracket and the other in the receptacles, the spring body being arranged in the receptacles.

Eine Lösung entsprechend diesen Merkmalen hat neben den Vorteil, daß zusätzliche Lagerstellen für die Federn eingespart werden können, noch den Vorzug, daß sie besonders platzsparend außerhalb der Ablagefächer deren Zuladeraum nicht beschneidend für einen Benutzer uneinsehbar angeordnet sind.A solution according to these features has the advantage that additional storage points for the springs can be saved, and the advantage that they are arranged in a particularly space-saving manner outside the storage compartments, the loading space of which is not obscuring and cannot be viewed by a user.

Nach einer nächsten vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß zur Abstützung des Federschenkels am Haltebügel sowohl an der Drehfeder als auch am Haltebügel Mittel vorgesehen sind, die eine einfache Montage und Demontage des Haltebügels gestatten.According to a next advantageous embodiment of the object of the invention it is provided that means are provided for supporting the spring leg on the bracket both on the torsion spring and on the bracket, which allow easy assembly and disassembly of the bracket.

Eine derartige Lösung zeichnet sich nicht nur durch ihre geringe Montagezeit aus, sondern auch vor allen dadurch, daß eine Montage und Demontage des Haltebügels ohne Hilfswerkzeug auch Vorort bei einem Kunden möglich ist.Such a solution is not only characterized by its short assembly time, but also above all by the fact that an assembly and disassembly of the bracket is possible without a tool on site at a customer.

Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsforn des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß bei einer Kühlschranktür mit auf der Innenseite angeordneten senkrechten Holmen die den Haltebügel haltenden Aufnahmen lösbar mit den senkrechten Holmen verbunden sind.According to a further preferred embodiment of the subject matter of the invention, it is provided that, in the case of a refrigerator door with vertical bars arranged on the inside, the receptacles holding the retaining bracket are detachably connected to the vertical bars.

Die Vorteile einer derartigen Lösung sind darin zu sehen, daß der Haltebügel, sollte dieser über einen gewissen Zeitraum überflüssig sein, jederzeit abnehmbar ist, so daß der Zugang zum Ablagefach durch den Haltebügel nicht unnötig erschwert oder gar behindert ist. Ferner lassen sich die Aufnahmen in Reparaturfall leicht auswechseln. Ebenso wird durch eine derartige Maßnahme erreicht, daß der Haltebügel samt den Aufnahmen, sollte das Bedürfnis bestehen, die Innentür gründlich zu reinigen, jederzeit leicht abnehmbar sind.The advantages of such a solution can be seen in the fact that the bracket, should this be superfluous for a certain period of time, can be removed at any time, so that access to the storage compartment through the bracket is not unnecessarily difficult or even impeded. Furthermore, the recordings can be easily replaced in the event of a repair. It is also achieved by such a measure that the bracket together with the recordings, should there be a need to clean the inside door thoroughly, can be easily removed at any time.

Entsprechend einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsforn des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß bei einer Kühlschranktür mit abnehmbaren Ablagefächern die den Haltebügel haltenden Aufnahmen lösbar an den Schmalseiten der Ablagefächer angeordnet sind.According to a further preferred embodiment of the object of the invention, it is provided that, in the case of a refrigerator door with removable storage compartments, the receptacles holding the retaining bracket are arranged detachably on the narrow sides of the storage compartments.

Der Vorteil einer solchen Lösung liegt darin, daß je nach Platz- bzw. Raumbedarf für die in den Ablagefächern abzustellenden Behältnisse die Ablagefächer entsprechend diesen Anforderungen angeordnet werden können. Zudem erleichtert eine solche Lösung sowohl die Reinigung der Ablagefächer als auch die der Haltebügel.The advantage of such a solution is that, depending on the space or space required for the containers to be placed in the storage compartments, the storage compartments can be arranged in accordance with these requirements. In addition, such a solution facilitates both the cleaning of the storage compartments and that of the holding bracket.

Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß der Haltebügel eine Abkröpfung aufweist.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the object of the invention, it is provided that the holding bracket has an offset.

Aufgrund einer solchen Maßnahme können gleichzeitig mehrere Behältnisse mit unterschiedlichen Behälteraußenabmessungen sicher gehalten werden.Due to such a measure, several containers with different outer container dimensions can be held securely at the same time.

Besonders zweckmäßig gestaltet ist der U-förmige Haltebügel, wenn nach einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung vorgesehen ist, daß die Abkröpfung in etwa auf der halben Länge der Basis des U-förmigen Haltebügels angeordnet ist.The U-shaped retaining bracket is particularly expedient if, according to a further preferred embodiment of the object of the invention, it is provided that the offset is arranged approximately at half the length of the base of the U-shaped retaining bracket.

Hinter der Scheibe 21, in etwa im Abstand der Wandstärke der Innenverkleidung 12, ist der Grundkörper 20 an seinen Außenflächen 22 (nur zwei davon sind sichtbar) mit Rastnasen 23 ausgestattet, dessen zur Scheibe 21 hin abfallende Flanken steil sind, während die diesen Flanken gegenüberliegenden einen flachen Anstieg aufweisen. Die der Scheibe 21 gegenüberliegende Stirnseite des Grundkörpers 20 ist Ausgangspunkt für eine im Zentrum der Stirnseite liegende Bohrung 24, die in ihrem oberen Abschnitt zwei um einen Zwischenwinkel von 90° versetzte, zur Bohrungsmitte hin gerichtete, die Bohrungswand durchsetzende Längsnuten 25 aufweist, die parallel zur Bohrungsachse verlaufen. Die Tiefe der Längsnuten 25 endet mit Abstand zu der dem Grundkörper 20 zugekehrten Seite der Scheibe 21. Im Zentrum der Scheibe 21 ist eine Durchgangsbohrung 26 angeordnet, die unmittelbar an die Bohrung 24 im Grundkörper 20 anschließt und mit ihr verbunden ist (siehe hierzu Fig. 3).As particularly shown in FIG. 2, the receptacles 19 have a basic body 20 with a square cross section, one end face of which is provided with a circular disk 21 serving as a collar. Behind the pane 21, approximately at a distance from the wall thickness of the inner cladding 12, the base body 20 is provided on its outer surfaces 22 (only two of which are visible) with locking lugs 23, the flanks of which slope down towards the pane 21 are steep, while the flanks lying opposite them have a flat rise. The face of the base body 20 opposite the disk 21 is the starting point for a bore 24 located in the center of the face, the upper portion of which has two longitudinal grooves 25 which are offset by an intermediate angle of 90 ° and directed towards the center of the bore and penetrate the bore wall and which are parallel to Hole axis run. The depth of the longitudinal grooves 25 ends at a distance from the side of the disk 21 facing the base body 20. A through hole 26 is arranged in the center of the disk 21, which directly connects to the bore 24 in the base body 20 and is connected to it (see FIG. 3).

Wie sowohl aus Fig. 2 als auch aus Fig. 3 hervorgeht, dient die Bohrung 24 als Gehäuse für eine als Drehfeder ausgebildete Feder 27, deren zylindrischer Federkörper in Einbaulage nicht nur von der Bohrung 24 vollkommen aufgenommen sondern auch in dieser geführt ist. Die Enden der den Federkörper der Feder 27 bildenden Federdrahtes sind als Schenkel ausgebildet, von denen der in Einbaulage nahe der Scheibe 21 liegende Schenkel 28 ungefähr auf halber Höhe des Durchmessers des Federkörpers quer zu diesem abgewinkelt ist. Der andere, länger ausgeführte Schenkel 29 ist gleichlaufend zum Federkörper abgebogen und verläuft mit Abstand zu dessen Mantelfläche in etwa über die gesamte Länge des Federkörpers. Ist die Feder 27 in der Bohrung 24 der Aufnahme 19 montiert, so ist der längere, gleichlaufend zum Federkörper abgebogene Schenkel 29 in einer der Längsnuten 25 geführt, wobei die Endlage der Feder 27 in der Bohrung 24 durch den Anschlag des freien Endes des Schenkels 29 am Auslauf der Längsnuten 25 bestimmt ist. Je nachdem, an welcher der beiden einander zugeordneten Seiten der Holme die Aufnahme 19 sitzt, wird der Schenkel 29 der Feder 27 in die entsprechende Längsnut 25 eingeschoben, so daß ein und dieselben Bauteile sowohl für Links- als auch für Rechtseinbau geeignet sind.As can be seen from both FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the bore 24 serves as a housing for a spring 27 designed as a torsion spring, the cylindrical spring body of which is not only completely received by the bore 24 in the installed position but is also guided in it. The ends of the spring wire forming the spring body of the spring 27 are designed as legs, of which the leg 28 lying near the disk 21 in the installed position is angled transversely to the spring body approximately at half the height of the diameter thereof. The other leg 29, which is longer, is bent in the same direction as the spring body and runs at a distance from its outer surface approximately over the entire length of the spring body. If the spring 27 is mounted in the bore 24 of the receptacle 19, the longer leg 29, which is bent in the same direction as the spring body, is guided in one of the longitudinal grooves 25, the end position of the spring 27 in the bore 24 being stopped by the free end of the leg 29 is determined at the outlet of the longitudinal grooves 25. Depending on which of the two mutually associated sides of the spars, the seat 19 is seated, the leg 29 of the spring 27 is inserted into the corresponding longitudinal groove 25, so that one and the same components are suitable for both left and right installation.

Wie insb. Figur 3 zeigt, greift der Schenkel 28 in Einbaulage der Feder 27 in einen an den freien Enden eines im wesentlichen U-förmigen Haltebügels 30 angeordneten, zur Stirnseite des freien Endes hin offenen Schlitzes 31 formschlüssig ein und stützt sich dort ab (nur eine Seite des Haltebügels 30 ist gezeichnet). Die freien Enden des U-förmigen Haltebügels 30 sind aus parallel zu der Basis des U-förmigen Haltebügels verlaufenden und an dessen Schenkel 32 angeordneten Endabschnitten 33 gebildet, deren Stirnseiten voneinander abgewandt sind und die mit einen Teil ihrer Länge innerhalb des Federkörpers der Feder 27 liegen, wodurch die Einbaulänge für den Haltebügel 30 zwischen den Holmen 15 bis 17 verkürzt ist. Außerdem sind die Endabschnitte 33 in der in Zentrum der Scheibe 21 angeordneten Durchgangsbohrung 26, nahe ihren Übergang zu den Schenkeln 32 des Haltebügels 30, drehbar gelagert.As particularly shown in FIG. 3, the leg 28 engages in the installed position of the spring 27 in a slot 31 which is arranged at the free ends of a substantially U-shaped retaining bracket 30 and is open towards the end face of the free end and is supported there (only one side of the bracket 30 is drawn). The free ends of the U-shaped bracket 30 are made of parallel to the base of the U-shaped bracket and on the legs 32 arranged end portions 33 are formed, the end faces of which face away from one another and which lie with part of their length within the spring body of the spring 27, as a result of which the installation length for the holding bracket 30 between the bars 15 to 17 is shortened. In addition, the end sections 33 are rotatably mounted in the through hole 26 arranged in the center of the disk 21, close to their transition to the legs 32 of the holding bracket 30.

Der Haltebügel 30 kann zusätzlich, wie in Fig. 1 gezeigt, in etwa auf der halben Länge seiner Basis mit einer Abkröpfung 34 versehen sein, so daß die Basis in wesentlichen zwei zueinander parallele Abschnitte 35 und 36 aufweist, von denen der in Einbaulage links liegende Abschnitt 35 näher an der Innenverkleidung 12 angeordnet ist. Es versteht sich, daß die Abschnitte 35 und 36 der Basis des U-förmigen Haltebügels 30 in einem beliebigen Längenverhältnis zueinander stehen können.The retaining bracket 30 can additionally, as shown in Fig. 1, be provided at approximately half the length of its base with an offset 34, so that the base has essentially two mutually parallel sections 35 and 36, of which the one in the installed position is on the left Section 35 is arranged closer to the inner lining 12. It is understood that the sections 35 and 36 of the base of the U-shaped bracket 30 can be in any length ratio to each other.

Wie ferner aus Fig. 3 hervorgeht, sitzt die Aufnahme 19 in ihrem in den Holmen 15, 16 und 17 eingebauten Zustand in einer an die Außenabmessungen des quadratischen Grundkörpers 20 angepaßten Aussparung 37, die mit einer ihrer Seiten parallel zur Ausdehnung der Holme 15 bis 17 angeordnet ist. Auf diese Weise ist die Aufnahme 19 formschlüssig gegen Verdrehung in der Ebene der einander zugekehrten Wangen der Holme 15 bis 17 gesichert.As can further be seen from FIG. 3, the receptacle 19, when installed in the bars 15, 16 and 17, is seated in a recess 37 which is adapted to the outer dimensions of the square base body 20 and which has one side parallel to the extension of the bars 15 to 17 is arranged. In this way, the receptacle 19 is positively secured against rotation in the plane of the facing cheeks of the spars 15 to 17.

In Einbaulage schlägt die den Grundkörper 20 zugewandte Seite der Scheibe 21 an der ihr zugekehrten Außenseite der Innenverkleidung 12 an und begrenzt dadurch die Einschubtiefe der Aufnahme 19 in die Aussparung 37. Unmittelbar nach Erreichen der Anschlagsposition schnappen die Rastnasen 23 in ihre Rastlage, wobei sie mit ihrer Nasenspitze die Innenverkleidung derart hintergreifen, daß sich im Bedarfsfall, beispielsweise bei Demontage der Aufnahme 19 die Verbindung jederzeit wieder auflösen läßt.In the installed position, the side of the disk 21 facing the base body 20 strikes the outer side of the inner cladding 12 facing it and thereby limits the insertion depth of the receptacle 19 into the recess 37. Immediately after the stop position has been reached, the catches snap 23 into its rest position, with the tip of the nose reaching behind the inner lining in such a way that the connection can be released at any time if necessary, for example when the receptacle 19 is dismantled.

Die Federn 27 werden in einen ersten Montageschritt in der Bohrung 24 der Aufnahmen 19 vormontiert, wobei der Außendurchmesser des Federkörpers auf den Durchmesser der Bohrung 24 derart abgestimmt ist, daß die Federn 27 durch Reibschluß darin gehalten werden. Je nach dem, ob die Aufnahme 19 für Links- oder für Rechtseinbau bestimmt ist, wird der Schenkel 29 der Feder 27 in die entsprechende Längsnut 25 eingeführt. Auf diese Weise wird erreicht, daß der Schlitz 31 an den Endabschnitten 33 des Haltebügels 30 nicht an die Einbaurichtung des Haltebügels angepaßt werden müssen, sondern gleich ausgebildet sein können. In einen nächsten Schritt werden die Aufnahmen 19 in den Aussparungen 35 der einander zugewandten Seiten der Holme 15, 16 und 17 verrastet. Abschließend werden die Haltebügel 30 soweit innerhalb ihres elastischen Bereiches verformt, bis die Endabschnitte 33 in die Durchgangsbohrungen 26 eingreifen können. Gleichzeitig mit dem Einführen der Endabschnitte 33 des Haltebügels 30 in die Durchgangsbohrungen 26 der einander gegenüberliegenden Aufnahmen greifen die Schenkel 28 der Feder 27 in die an den Stirnseiten der Endabschnitte 33 offenen, senkrecht zu den Schenkeln 32 des Haltebügels 30 angeordneten Schlitze 31 des Haltebügels 30 fornschlüssig ein, wodurch das Drehmoment der Feder 27 auf den Haltebügel 30 übertragen wird, sofern dieser aus einer unteren Ruhestellung nach oben ausgelenkt wird. Der in den Aufnahmen 19 gehalterte Haltebügel 30 stützt sich in Einbaulage am Auslauf des Schlitzes 31 gegen den Federschenkel 28 ab, so daß die Schenkel 32 des Haltebügels 30 mit Abstand zur Außenseite der Scheibe 21 angeordnet sind und dadurch an dieser keine Reibung verursachen.The springs 27 are preassembled in a first assembly step in the bore 24 of the receptacles 19, the outer diameter of the spring body being matched to the diameter of the bore 24 in such a way that the springs 27 are held therein by frictional engagement. Depending on whether the receptacle 19 is intended for left or right installation, the leg 29 of the spring 27 is inserted into the corresponding longitudinal groove 25. In this way it is achieved that the slot 31 on the end portions 33 of the bracket 30 does not have to be adapted to the direction of installation of the bracket, but can be of the same design. In a next step, the receptacles 19 are locked in the cutouts 35 on the mutually facing sides of the bars 15, 16 and 17. Finally, the holding brackets 30 are deformed within their elastic range until the end sections 33 can engage in the through bores 26. Simultaneously with the introduction of the end sections 33 of the holding bracket 30 into the through bores 26 of the receptacles lying opposite one another, the legs 28 of the spring 27 engage in the slots 31 of the holding bracket 30, which are open at the end faces of the end sections 33 and are arranged perpendicular to the legs 32 of the holding bracket 30 a, whereby the torque of the spring 27 is transmitted to the bracket 30, provided that it is deflected upward from a lower rest position. The bracket 30 held in the receptacles 19 is supported in the installed position at the outlet of the slot 31 against the spring leg 28, so that the legs 32 of the bracket 30 are arranged at a distance from the outside of the disc 21 and thereby cause no friction on it.

Es versteht sich, daß das durch die Federn 28 aufgebrachte Drehmoment und das Drehmoment erzeugt durch die Schwerkraft des Haltebügels 30 auch gegeneinander wirken können, so daß der Haltebügel 30 aufgrund des überwiegenden Federmoments nach oben verschwenkt wird. Eine solche Variante läßt sich in Kombination mit einer Lösung, bei der das Federmoment und das Moment erzeugt durch die Schwerkraft gleichgerichtet sind, besonders gut bei in der Höhe unmittelbar übereinander angeordneten Haltebügeln 30 anwenden. In diesem Fall verschwenkt einer der Haltebügel nach oben und der andere nach unten, wodurch hohes Kühlgut besonders sicher gehalten ist.It is understood that the torque generated by the springs 28 and the torque generated by the gravity of the bracket 30 can also act against each other, so that the bracket 30 is pivoted upward due to the predominant spring torque. Such a variant can be used particularly well in combination with a solution in which the spring moment and the moment generated by gravity are rectified with holding brackets 30 arranged directly one above the other in height. In this case, one of the holding brackets swivels upwards and the other downwards, as a result of which high refrigerated goods are held particularly securely.

Für den Fall, daß in den Ablagefächern 18 kein Kühlgut abgestellt ist, befindet sich der Haltebügel 30 in seiner Ruhelage, wobei in dieser Stellung die Schenkel 32 des Haltebügels 30 in Richtung zum Ablagefach 18 nach unten, zur Innenverkleidung 12 hin gerichtet sind. Die Basis des Haltebügels 30 liegt dabei unter Vorspannung der Feder 27, von denen jeweils eine an den Endabschnitten 33 des Haltebügels 30 angreift, an der hinteren Wand des Ablagefachs 18 an.In the event that no refrigerated goods are placed in the storage compartments 18, the holding bracket 30 is in its rest position, in which position the legs 32 of the holding bracket 30 are directed downwards towards the storage compartment 18, toward the inner lining 12. The base of the holding bracket 30 rests against the rear wall of the storage compartment 18 under the pretension of the spring 27, one of which acts on the end sections 33 of the holding bracket 30.

Wird nun Kühlgut in eines der Ablagefächer 18 eingestellt, so wird der Haltebügel 30 entgegen der Wirkrichtung der Feder 27 aus seiner Ruhelage in Richtung der Vorderwand des Ablagefachs 18 soweit ausgelenkt, bis zwischen der hinteren, der Innenverkleidung 12 zugewandten Wand des Ablagefaches 18 und der Basis des Haltebügels 30 der für das Abstellen des Kühlguts in Ablagefach 18 benötigte Zwischenraum vorhanden ist. Zur Klemmung des Kühlguts gegen die hintere, der Innenverkleidung 12 zugewandten Seitenwand, liegt die Basis des Haltebügels 30 unter Einwirkung des Federmoments auf der ihr zugewandten Außenseite des Kühlgutes an.If refrigerated goods are now placed in one of the storage compartments 18, the retaining bracket 30 is deflected against its direction of action of the spring 27 from its rest position in the direction of the front wall of the storage compartment 18 until between the rear wall of the storage compartment 18 facing the inner lining 12 and the base of the bracket 30, the space required for storing the refrigerated goods in the storage compartment 18 is available. In order to clamp the refrigerated goods against the rear side wall facing the inner lining 12, the base of the holding bracket 30 rests on the outside of the refrigerated goods facing it under the action of the spring torque.

Die U-förmigen Haltebügel sind im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel aus einstückigem Drahtmaterial gebogen. Genauso ist es aber auch möglich, die Haltebügel aus mehreren Einzelteilen (z.B. durch Schweißen, Stecken usw.) in ihrer Endgestalt zusammenzufügen.In the exemplary embodiment shown, the U-shaped holding brackets are bent from one-piece wire material. In the same way, it is also possible to assemble the retaining bracket from several individual parts (e.g. by welding, plugging, etc.) in their final shape.

Gemäß dem Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Feder 27 so gearbeitet, daß sich deren Federkörper bei Bewegung des Haltebügels 30 aus seiner Ruhelage verkleinert. Genauso kann die Feder 27 auch so gewickelt sein, daß sich deren Federkörper beim Spannen der Feder 27 vergrößert. In diesem Fall wird die Feder 27 in der Aufnahme 19 durch Reibung ihres Schenkels 29 in der Längsnut 25 gehalten, da der Federkörper bei entspannter Feder 27 mit Spiel in der Bohrung 24 angeordnet ist.According to the embodiment, the spring 27 is worked so that its spring body is reduced when the bracket 30 moves from its rest position. In the same way, the spring 27 can also be wound in such a way that its spring body increases when the spring 27 is tensioned. In this case, the spring 27 is held in the receptacle 19 by friction of its leg 29 in the longitudinal groove 25, since the spring body is arranged with play in the bore 24 when the spring 27 is relaxed.

Die beiden genannten Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten bedingen, daß die Wicklungsrichtung der Feder 27 ihrer Einbaulage (links oder rechts) angepaßt wird.The two design options mentioned require that the winding direction of the spring 27 is adapted to its installation position (left or right).

Außerdem ist es auch möglich, ein und dieselbe Feder 27 sowohl für Linjks- als auch für Rechtseinbau zu verwenden, wobei die Feder 27 in der Aufnahme 19 wieder durch einen Reibschluß ihres Schenkels 29 in der Längsnut gehalten wird.In addition, it is also possible to use one and the same spring 27 for both left-hand and right-hand installation, the spring 27 being held in the receptacle 19 again by a frictional engagement of its leg 29 in the longitudinal groove.
