Definitions

  • the invention relates to a refrigerator door with arranged on its inside, tray-like tray, which are used to hold standard containers such as bottles, rectangular bags or the like, whose stability when opening the refrigerator door by a U-shaped bracket held in receptacles by the due its weight generated holding torque is supported.
  • Such a refrigerator door is known from DE-B-1 083 837.
  • 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.
  • Such compartments which are often provided with a revolving shelf, preference is given to storing, in addition to small-volume goods such as butter, eggs or the like, especially refrigerated goods in tall containers and containers such as bottles.
  • 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.
  • DE-B-10 83 837 proposes a holding bracket assigned to a storage compartment on the door and pivotably mounted around its end parts, which additionally attacks in the upper section of the storage goods, such as bottles, which are equipped with high dimensions, thereby improving the hold especially when opening the door by a holding torque generated due to its weight.
  • 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.
  • 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 always 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.
  • the additional holding torque is exerted by springs acting in the area around the bearing points of the holding bracket.
  • 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.
  • 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 particularly space-saving outside the storage compartments whose loading space are not arranged to be hidden from a user.
  • 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.
  • Such a solution is characterized not only by its short assembly time, but also, in particular, by the fact that assembly and disassembly of the retaining bracket without an auxiliary tool is also possible on site at a customer.
  • the receptacles holding the holding bracket are detachably connected to the vertical bars.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the receptacles holding the bracket are arranged detachably on the narrow sides of the storage compartments.
  • the holding bracket has an offset.
  • 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.
  • a heat-insulated refrigerator door 10 is shown, the insulation (not visible here) of which is arranged between an outer panel 11 and an inner panel 12.
  • the inside of the refrigerator door 10 formed by the inner lining 12 is equipped near the edge with a magnetic seal 13 which is fastened to the inner lining in a conventional manner.
  • the inner lining 12 has a frame-like border 14, within which the storage compartments described in more detail below are arranged. Between the vertical sections of the frame, which are designed as bars 15 and 16, is approximately in the middle of the upper half of the refrigerator door 10 to the width of an additional vertical spar 17 arranged.
  • the mutually facing sides of the spars 15, 16 and 17 are equipped with cams (not shown) into which cup-like storage compartments 18 provided with a shelf can be hung, which serve to accommodate standard containers such as bottles, rectangular bags and cans or the like which can be placed therein. Furthermore, receptacles 19 are arranged on the mutually facing sides of the vertical spars at a distance above the shell-like storage compartments 18 in the front region of the vertical spars 15, 16 and 17, in which the ends of substantially U-shaped holding brackets, which are explained in more detail below, are arranged .
  • 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).
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the end sections 33 are rotatably mounted in the through hole 26 arranged in the center of the disk 21, near their transition to the legs 32 of the holding bracket 30.
  • 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 lying on the left in the installed position 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.
  • the receptacle 19 when installed in the bars 15, 16 and 17, sits in a recess 37 which is adapted to the external 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.
  • 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.
  • the detents 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.
  • the springs 27 are pre-assembled in the bore 24 of the receptacles 19 in a first assembly step, 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.
  • 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.
  • the receptacles 19 are locked in the cutouts 35 on the mutually facing sides of the bars 15, 16 and 17.
  • the holding brackets 30 are deformed within their elastic range until the end sections 33 can engage in the through bores 26.
  • the legs 28 of the spring 27 engage in the slots 31 of the retaining bracket 30, which are open on the end faces of the end sections 33 and are arranged perpendicular to the legs 32 of the retaining 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.
  • the torque applied 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 items to be refrigerated are held particularly securely.
  • the holding bracket 30 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.
  • 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.
  • the base of the holding bracket 30 rests on the outside of the refrigerated goods facing it under the action of the spring torque.
  • the U-shaped holding brackets are bent from one-piece wire material.
  • the spring 27 is worked so that its spring body is reduced when the bracket 30 moves from its rest position.
  • the spring 27 can also be wound in such a way that its spring body increases when the spring 27 is tensioned.
  • 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.
