Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Kühl- und/oder Gefriergerät.The invention relates to a refrigerator and / or freezer.

Bei einem aus der EP-A-0 344 559 bekannten Kühlschrank ist in ein Außengehäuse ein Innenbehälter eingesetzt, der einen das zu kühlende Gut aufnehmenden Kühlraum umschließt und mittels einer frontseitigen Tür schließbar ist. An gegenüberliegenden senkrechten Seitenwänden des Innenbehälters verlaufen in waagerechter Richtung parallel zueinander mehrere gleichartig ausgebildete Führungsschienen, die aus der Seitenwand herausgeformt sind und an ihrer Oberseite plane waagerechte Führungsbahnen und an ihrer Unterseite nach oben hin hinterschnittene Führungen aufweisen.In a refrigerator known from EP-A-0 344 559 an inner container is inserted into an outer housing, the one cold room that holds the goods to be cooled encloses and can be closed by means of a front door is. On opposite vertical side walls of the Inner container run parallel in the horizontal direction several similarly designed to each other Guide rails that are molded out of the side wall and on its top, plan horizontal guideways and undercut at the bottom Have guides.

Während die oberen planen Führungsbahnen für die Auflage von zweiseitig abzustützenden, durchgehenden Ablageplatten oder -rosten dienen, bildet je eine dieser planen Führungsbahnen zusammen mit der hinterschnittenen Unterseite der darüber befindlichen hinterschnittenen Führung eine Führungsnut für einzuhakende Haltemittel an Kühlgutablagen, die nur einseitig aufgehängt werden. Diese Haltemittel sind gegengleich zumindest weitgehend an die Kontur der sie aufnehmenden Führungsnut angepaßt.While the top plan guideways for support of double-sided, continuous shelves serve or grates, each forms one of these plans Guideways together with the undercut Underside of the undercut located above Guide a guide groove for holding means to be hooked Chilled goods racks that are only hung on one side. This Retaining means are at least largely opposite to the Contour of the receiving groove adapted to them.

Von Nachteil ist dabei, daß durch einseitiges Anheben der einseitig gehalterten Ablage dieselbe versehentlich aus der sie aufnehmenden Führungsnut ausgehoben werden kann, wodurch sie unkontrolliert abstürzt. The disadvantage is that by unilaterally lifting the unilaterally held tray the same from the the receiving guide groove can be excavated, causing it to crash uncontrollably.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Kühl- und/oder Gefriergerät anzugeben, bei dem eine sichere Halterung von einseitig aufgehängten Ablagen erreicht wird.The invention is therefore based on the object of and / or freezer specify where a secure bracket from one side suspended shelves is reached.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.The object is achieved solved by the features of claim 1.

Dabei braucht sich die Führungsnut nur über einen Teil der Breite der betreffenden Wand erstrecken, wobei sich die Führungsnut insbesondere im hinteren Abschnitt zur Rückwand des Innenbehälters hin und benachbart zur Deckenwand des Innenbehälters befinden kann. Dieser Bereich wird bei der Nutzung des Kühlraums in der Regel weniger beansprucht, so daß eine der Ablagen in diesem Raumbereich geparkt werden kann, wenn sie mit oder ohne Inhalt nur sporadisch genutzt wird.The guide groove needs only part of the Extend the width of the wall in question, the guide groove especially in the rear section to the rear wall of the Inner container back and adjacent to the ceiling wall of the inner container can be located. This area is used when using the Cold room usually less stressed, so that one of the Shelves in this area can be parked if they are is used sporadically with or without content.

In technisch einfach zu realisierender Weise kann die Nut T-förmig oder schwalbenschwanzartig ausgebildet sein.The groove can be implemented in a technically simple manner T-shaped or dovetail-like.

Um das Einstecken des Gegenpols in die Führungsnut zu erleichtern, kann die Führungsnut an ihrem der Gerätetür zugewandten Ende an ihren Nutschenkeln mit Einführschrägen ausgestattet sein, die sich zur Tür hin keilförmig voneinander entfernen. In gleicher Weise können sich auch die Hinterschnittnuten keilförmig erweitern, sofern nicht der Gegenpol gegengleiche Anlaufschrägen aufweist. Grundsätzlich wird das Einhängen einer Ablage also dadurch erleichtert, daß die Nut und/oder der Gegenpol Einführschrägen aufweist. To make it easier to insert the opposite pole in the guide groove, the guide groove on the device door facing Equipped with insertion bevels at the end of their groove legs be wedge-shaped from each other towards the door. The undercut grooves can be made in the same way Extend wedge-shaped unless the opposite pole is opposite Has chamfers. Basically, hanging one Storage thus facilitated in that the groove and / or the Has opposite-pole lead-in chamfers.

Die Führungsnut an einer Seitenwand kann dabei so nahe zur Deckenwand des Innenbehälters hin verlagert sein, daß bei entsprechender Anordnung der Halterung an der betreffenden Ablage diese als oben offene Schale ausgebildete Ablage mit ihrem Öffnungsrand dicht unterhalb der Deckenwand zu liegen kommt. Die Deckenwand kann dann einen sonst an einer solchen Schale zweckmäßigen Deckel ersetzen.The guide groove on a side wall can be so close to Ceiling wall of the inner container to be shifted that at appropriate arrangement of the bracket on the relevant Shelf with this shelf designed as an open top tray their opening edge to lie just below the ceiling wall is coming. The ceiling wall can then one on one replace such a functional cover.

Dabei kann es auch zweckmäßig sein, den oberen Nutschenkel der Führungsnut auf seiner Oberseite mit einer planen, waagerechten Führungsbahn zu versehen, wenn an der gegenüberliegenden Innenbehälter-Seitenwand eine entsprechend ausgebildete Führungsnut oder eigenständige Führungsbahn vorgesehen ist, so daß dann wieder eine durchgehende Ablageplatte darauf in einer Parkstellung gelagert werden kann.It may also be appropriate to use the upper groove leg the guide groove on its top with a plan horizontal guideway, if on the opposite inner container side wall one appropriately trained guide groove or independent Guide path is provided so that then again continuous shelf on top in a parking position can be stored.

Das Merkmal "zumindest erschwert" kann besonders einfach dadurch ausgestaltet sein, der Gegenpol infolge einer elastischen Verformbarkeit von Gegenpol und/oder Nut in die Nut eindruckbar ist. Dabei ist die zum absichtlichen Eindrücken erforderliche, gerichtete Kraft größer als die Kraft, die zufällig auf eine in der Nut eingehängte Ablage beim bestimmungsgemäßen Gebrauch des Geräts wirken könnte. Dies wird durch eine dem Fachmann naheliegende Auswahl entsprechender elastischer Werkstoffe konstruktiv umgesetzt.The feature "at least difficult" can be particularly simple be designed, the opposite pole as a result of elastic deformability of the opposite pole and / or groove in the It's just impressive. The intentional one Push in required directional force greater than that Force that happens to be on a shelf suspended in the groove could work when the device is used as intended. This is made by a selection which is obvious to the person skilled in the art corresponding elastic materials constructively implemented.

In einem Außengehäuse 1 eines schrankförmigen Kühlgeräts befindet sich ein Kühlraum, der durch einen Innenbehälter 3 umgrenzt ist, und/oder der mit einem Tiefkühlfach 2 abgetrennt ist. Das Tiefkühlfach 2 wie der Kühlraum werden mittels eigenständiger, um senkrechte Achsen schwenkbare Türen im Kühlbetrieb verschlossen. Im Innenbehälter 3 befinden sich an gegenüberliegenden senkrechten Seitenwänden 4 parallel zueinander verlaufende waagerechte Führungsschienen 5, die einerseits plane waagerechte Führungsbahnen 6 für die Auflage von zweiseitig abzustützenden Ablageplatten oder -rosten und andererseits wenigstens eine hinterschnittene Führung 7 für einseitig aufgehängte Ablagen 8 aufweisen. Diese Ablagen 8 sind mit zu der hinterschnittenen Führung gegengleichen, angepaßten und in diese Führung 7 axial einzuschiebenden starren Haltemitteln 9 versehen, die vorwiegend als einfache Hakenstege ausgebildet sind, welche die hinterschnittenen Nutschenkel 7.1 hintergreifen. In an outer housing 1 of a cabinet-shaped cooling device there is a cold room through an inner container 3 is delimited, and / or with a freezer compartment 2 is separated. The freezer compartment 2 will be like the cold room by means of independent swiveling around vertical axes Doors closed in cooling mode. In the inner container 3 are on opposite vertical Side walls 4 horizontal parallel to each other Guide rails 5, the one hand plane horizontal Guideways 6 for support from two sides supporting plates or grids to be supported and on the other hand at least one undercut guide 7 for have shelves 8 suspended on one side. These shelves 8 are opposed to the undercut leadership, adapted and axially inserted into this guide 7 rigid holding means 9, the predominantly as simple hook webs are formed, which the Reach undercut groove leg 7.1.

Eine einseitig aufzuhängende Ablage 8, die in der Regel für die Nutzung an der Tür 12 bestimmt ist, kann somit auch unmittelbar im Innenbehälter 3 geparkt und bei Bedarf wieder zur Aufhängung an die Tür 12 zurückgeholt werden. Dabei ist es möglich, die Führungsnut 7 an der jeweiligen Seitenwand 4 des Innenbehälters 3 und insbesondere im unteren Abschnitt der Türinnenschale 11 nur über einen Teil der waagrechten Breite reichen zu lassen, so daß neben diesen kurzen Führungsnuten 7 auf darunter befindliche Ablagen 8 oder Ablageplatten 16 höhere Gegenstände gestellt werden können.A one-sided shelf 8, which is usually for the use on the door 12 is determined, can also Parked directly in the inner container 3 and if necessary can be brought back to the door 12 for suspension. It is possible to guide the 7 on the respective Side wall 4 of the inner container 3 and in particular in lower portion of the inner door shell 11 only over part to allow the horizontal width to extend so that next to these short guide grooves 7 to those below Shelf 8 or shelf 16 higher items placed can be.

Sollen die Führungen 7 in der Türinnenschale 11 (Ausführungsform, die nicht unter die Erfindung fällt) an den Längsenden nicht axial offen sein, werden betreffende Abschnitte der Nutschenkel 7.1 bis auf den Nutgrund 7.2, also auf das äußere Abstandsmaß der Halterung 9 erweitert. Dadurch können die Halterungen 9 von der Frontseite der Türinnenschale aus in die betreffenden Führungen 7 eingesteckt und seitlich verschoben werden.Should the guides 7 in the inner door shell 11 (embodiment that does not fall under the invention) to the Longitudinal ends that are not axially open will be affected Sections of the groove legs 7.1 up to the groove base 7.2, So expanded to the outer distance dimension of the bracket 9. This allows the brackets 9 from the front of the Inner door shell from into the relevant guides 7 inserted and moved laterally.

Die gleiche Maßnahme kann auch bei der oder den Führungen 7 am Innenbehälter 3 vorgesehen werden, jedoch ist dort vorzugsweise die entsprechende Führung 7 zur Tür 12 hin in axialer Richtung offen, so daß eine Ablage 8 mit ihrer Halterung 9 von der durch die Tür zu verschließenden Zugrifföffnung aus axial eingeschoben werden kann. Die hinterschnittenen Nutschenkel 7.1 sind an ihren der Tür 12 zugewandten Enden mit Einführschrägen 13 versehen, so daß die unmittelbar an die jeweilige Ablage 8 angeformten Abschnitte der Haltemittel 9 beim Ansetzen zwischen die Nutschenkel 7.1 eingeführt werden. Dem gleichen Zweck dienen entsprechende Anlaufschrägen 9.1 an den voneinander wegweisenden Enden der Halterungen 9 (Gegenpol). The same measure can also be carried out on the guide or guides 7 be provided on the inner container 3, but is there preferably the corresponding guide 7 towards the door 12 in open in the axial direction, so that a tray 8 with her Bracket 9 from the one to be closed by the door Access opening can be inserted axially. The undercut groove legs 7.1 are on their door 12 facing ends with insertion bevels 13 so that those molded directly onto the respective shelf 8 Sections of the holding means 9 when placing between the Nut legs 7.1 are introduced. The same purpose serve corresponding chamfers 9.1 on each other groundbreaking ends of the brackets 9 (opposite pole).

Die Ablage 8 kann als oben offene Schale ausgebildet sein, deren nach oben gerichtete Öffnungsebene 14 mittels eines Deckels 15 verschließbar ist. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, die Haltemittel 9 und die Führung 7 in ihrer Anordnung so aufeinander abzustimmen, daß die schalenförmige Ablage 8 mit ihrer Öffnungsebene 14 dicht unterhalb der Deckenwand 10 des Innenbehälters 3 zu liegen kommt und daher keines besonderen Deckels bedarf.The shelf 8 can be designed as an open top shell, whose upward opening plane 14 by means of a Lid 15 can be closed. However, it is also possible the holding means 9 and the guide 7 in their arrangement so to coordinate with one another that the cup-shaped shelf 8 with its opening level 14 just below the ceiling wall 10 of the inner container 3 comes to rest and therefore none special cover is required.

Gemäß Fig. 4 ist bei sonst gleichem Aufbau eine Führung 7 vorgesehen, die kürzer als die darunter als Gruppe angeordneten Führungen 5 ausgebildet ist. Dabei weist der obere Nutschenkel 7.1 auf seiner Oberseite in Fig. 4.1 ebenfalls eine plane, waagrechte Führungsbahn 6 auf, die eine an die Länge dieses Nutschenkels 7.1 angepaßte Ablageplatte 16 trägt, die insbesondere auf einer der entsprechenden Führungsbahn spiegelbildlich auf der gegenüberliegenden senkrechten Seitenwand 4 des Innenbehälters 3 angeordneten oberen Führungsbahn eines Führungsschenkels einer entsprechenden Führung 7 aufliegt. Der Abstand zwischen dem oberen Nutschenkel 7.1 und der Deckenwand 10 des Innenbehälters 3 kann dabei weitgehend auf die Dicke der Ablageplatte 16 reduziert sein. In dieser Lage ist diese verkürzte Ablageplatte 16 für die Aufnahme von Kühlgut nicht geeignet und wird daher nur zum Parken in diese Lage gebracht, wenn sie auf den Führungsleisten 5 nicht benötigt wird, um Raum für höheres Kühlgut bereitzustellen.4 is a guide 7 with otherwise the same structure provided the shorter than the one below as a group arranged guides 5 is formed. The upper flute 7.1 on its top in Fig. 4.1 also a flat, horizontal guideway 6 on the one adapted to the length of this nut leg 7.1 Storage plate 16 carries, in particular on one of the corresponding guideway in mirror image on the opposite vertical side wall 4 of the Inner container 3 arranged upper guideway Guide leg of a corresponding guide 7 rests. The distance between the upper grooved leg 7.1 and Top wall 10 of the inner container 3 can largely be reduced to the thickness of the storage plate 16. In this Location is this shortened tray 16 for inclusion of refrigerated goods is not suitable and is therefore only used for parking in brought this situation when it on the guide rails 5 is not needed to make room for higher refrigerated goods to provide.

In Fig. 4.2 ist alternativ eine Schwalbenschwanznut 7 am Innnenbehälter 3 mit dem Nutschenkel 7.1 nach oben und unten geöffnet dargestellt, wobei oberhalb der Ablage 8 kein Führungsschenkel angeordnet ist.4.2 alternatively shows a dovetail groove 7 on the inner container 3 with the groove leg 7.1 open upwards and downwards, no guide leg being arranged above the shelf 8.
