Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kühlschranktür mit an dieser gehalterten Fächern, mit schalenförmiger Innenwand, die auf der Innenseite ihrer vertikalen stegförmigen Ränder im Abstand voneinander mit Rastausnehmungen oder noppenartigen Erhöhungen zum Aufrasten der Seitenteile der an den Rändern gehalterten Fächer versehen ist. Eine solche Kühlschranktür ist z.B. aus der US-A-3 375 936 bekannt.The invention relates to a refrigerator door with compartments held on it, with a shell-shaped inner wall, which is provided on the inside of its vertical web-shaped edges at a distance from one another with latching recesses or knob-like elevations for snapping on the side parts of the compartments held on the edges. Such a refrigerator door is e.g. known from US-A-3 375 936.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einfach und wirtschaftlich ausgestaltete Fächer zu schaffen, die an der Innenwand der Kühlschranktür gehaltert werden können.The object of the invention is to provide simple and economical compartments that can be held on the inner wall of the refrigerator door.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe bei einer Kühlschranktür der gattungsgemäßen Art dadurch gelöst, daß die Seitenteile der Fächer in ihren unteren Randbereichen auf ihren einander zugewandten Seiten mit Nuten versehen sind, in die die Ränder einer den Fachboden bildenden Glasplatte eingesetzt sind. Diese Ausgestaltung ermöglicht einen besonders einfachen Aufbau der Schranktür-Fächer. Da die den Boden bildende Glasplatte eine große Steifigkeit besitzt, können die Seitenteile einfach auf deren Schmalseiten aufgesetzt werden. Da das Fach aus zusammensteckbaren Teilen aufgebaut ist, lassen sich unterschiedliche Fächerbreiten einfach durch die Verwendung unterschiedlich langer den Boden bildender Glasplatten erreichen. Damit lassen sich unterschiedlich breite Fächer nach einem Baukastenprinzip einfach durch die Verwendung unterschiedlich langer Glasplatten erzielen, was den Herstellungsaufwand und die Lagerhaltung erheblich verringert. Abgesehen von der einfachen Formatvariabilität der Fächer lassen sich die aus Glasplatten bestehenden Fachböden einfacher reinigen und sie vermitteln auch aufgrund ihrer Transparenz einen hygienischeren Eindruck. Sollte einmal eine größere Verschmutzung eingetreten sein, kann die Hausfrau das Fach insgesamt leicht entnehmen, zerlegen und die Einzelteile reinigen und anschließend das zusammengesetzte Fach mühelos wieder einsetzen.According to the invention this object is achieved in a refrigerator door of the generic type in that the side parts of the compartments are provided in their lower edge regions on their mutually facing sides with grooves into which the edges of a glass plate forming the shelf are inserted. This configuration enables a particularly simple construction of the cabinet door compartments. Since the glass plate forming the base has great rigidity, the side parts can simply be placed on their narrow sides. Since the compartment is made up of parts that can be plugged together, different compartment widths can be achieved simply by using glass plates that form different lengths for the bottom. This means that compartments of different widths can be easily achieved using a modular principle by using glass panels of different lengths, which reduces the manufacturing effort and significantly reduced inventory. In addition to the simple format variability of the compartments, the shelves made of glass plates are easier to clean and also give a more hygienic impression due to their transparency. Should there be any serious contamination, the housewife can easily remove the compartment as a whole, disassemble and clean the individual parts and then easily reinsert the assembled compartment.

Zweckmäßigerweise ist mindestens die Vorderseite jeder Glasplatte mit einem aufgesetzten U-Profil versehen. Falls es erwünscht ist, kann auch auf den langen parallelen hinteren Rand der üblicherweise rechteckigen Glasplatte ein U-förmiger Profilstreifen aufgesetzt sein. Dieser bestht zweckmäßigerweise aus Kunststoff und bildet eine Stoß- oder Zierkante.At least the front of each glass plate is expediently provided with an attached U-profile. If desired, a U-shaped profile strip can also be placed on the long parallel rear edge of the usually rectangular glass plate. This is expediently made of plastic and forms a butt or decorative edge.

Das auf die Vorderseite der Glasplatte aufgesetzte U-förmige Profil kann zusätzlich noch mit einem aufragenden Steg versehen sein, der es verhindert, daß in das Fach eingelegte Kleinteile herausfallen.The U-shaped profile placed on the front of the glass plate can additionally be provided with an upstanding web, which prevents small parts inserted into the compartment from falling out.

Zweckmäßigerweise sind die Seitenteile auf ihren die stegförmigen Ränder der Tür überkragenden Oberseiten mit Bohrungen versehen, in die die Enden der Schenkel von U-förmig gebogenen Drahtbügeln eingesetzt sind. Diese Drahtbügel halten die Seitenteile nicht nur zusammen, was den Aufbau der Fächer aus zusammensteckbaren Teilen begünstigt, sie bilden darüberhinaus auch Haltebügel für in die Fächer eingelegte Gegenstände.The side parts are expediently provided with holes on their upper sides projecting over the web-shaped edges of the door, into which the ends of the legs of U-shaped wire brackets are inserted. These wire brackets not only hold the side parts together, which favors the construction of the compartments from parts that can be plugged together, they also form holding brackets for objects placed in the compartments.

Auf die Seitenteile können auch parallel zueinander zwei Drahtbügel aufgesetzt sein.Two wire brackets can also be placed parallel to one another on the side parts.

Nach einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform, für die selbständiger Schutz beansprucht wird, sind an den zueinander parallelen Stegteilen der Drahtbügel Platten querverschieblich geführt. Diese Platten lassen sich in beliebiger Weise aufeinander zu und voneinander wegverschieben, so daß sie unterschiedlich breite Fächer begrenzen, in die sich Kleinteile, wie Tuben o.dgl., zu ihrer Halterung einlegen lassen. Die die Fächer begrenzenden Platten können mit nutartigen Führungen für die Stegteile der Drahtbügel versehen sein. Diese Nuten können sich von ihren Gründen her nach außen verengen, so daß sich die Platten zu ihrer Halterung auf die Stegteile der Drahtbügel aufklipsen lassen. Die Platten selbst bestehen zweckmäßigerweise aus Kunststoff.According to a particularly preferred embodiment, for which independent protection is claimed, plates are guided in a transversely displaceable manner on the mutually parallel web parts of the wire bracket. These plates can be moved towards and away from each other in any way, so that they limit compartments of different widths in which small parts, such as tubes or the like, can be inserted to hold them. The plates delimiting the compartments can be provided with groove-like guides for the web parts of the wire bracket. These grooves can narrow outwards due to their reasons, so that the plates can be clipped onto the web parts of the wire bracket for their mounting. The plates themselves are advantageously made of plastic.
