Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Möbel, wie ein Kühlgerät, einen Vorratsschrank oder dgl., mit seitlichen Begrenzungswandungen und wenigstens einen Zwischenboden zur Unterteilung des Stauraums des Möbels, wobei an dem Zwischenboden eine Haltevorrichtung zur Halterung von liegend angeordnetem flaschenartigem Lagergut, wie Mineralwasser-, Bier- und Weinflaschen oder dergleichen angeordnet ist, wobei am Zwischenboden entlang einer seiner Seitenkanten ein verschieblich gehaltertes Halteelement mit wenigstens einem annähernd parallel zu einer der seitlichen Begrenzungswände des Möbels verlaufenden, in die Tragfläche des Zwischenbodens ragenden Stützschenkel angeordnet ist.The invention relates to a piece of furniture, such as a refrigerator, a storage cupboard or the like, with lateral boundary walls and at least one intermediate floor for dividing the storage space of the furniture, with a holding device on the intermediate floor for holding lying bottle-like stored goods, such as mineral water, beer, and wine bottles or the like is arranged, wherein on the intermediate floor along one of its side edges there is arranged a displaceably held holding element with at least one support leg extending approximately parallel to one of the lateral boundary walls of the piece of furniture and projecting into the supporting surface of the intermediate floor.

Bei Kühlschränken ist es seit langem Stand der Technik, daß die Türen an der Innenseite mit herausnehmbaren, übereinander angeordneten Ablagefächern auszustatten, von denen das dem Untenrand der Türen am nächsten liegende in den überwiegenden Fällen zum Abstellen von flaschenartigem Lagergut, wie beispielsweise Mineralwasserflaschen, Weinflaschen oder Bierflaschen genutzt wird. Die Lagerkapazität derartiger Ablagefächer ist jedoch sehr rasch erschöpft.In refrigerators, it has long been state of the art to equip the inside of the doors with removable, stacked storage compartments, of which the one closest to the bottom edge of the doors in most cases for storing bottle-like stored goods, such as mineral water bottles, wine bottles or Beer bottles is used. However, the storage capacity of such storage compartments is quickly exhausted.

Ein Möbel gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1, das aus der US-PS 2,280,371 bekannt ist, schafft bereits eine gewisse Vergrößerung der Lagerkapazität.A piece of furniture according to the preamble of claim 1, which is known from US Pat. No. 2,280,371, already creates a certain increase in the storage capacity.

Ferner wurde zur Erweiterung der Lagerkapazität für flaschenartiges Lagergut in der DE-A-26 35 364 ein Kühlgerät vorgeschlagen, dessen Innenraum mit zur Ablage von Flaschen geeigneten Traggittern unterteilbar ist, welche sich in ihren seitlichen Enden in an den Seitenwänden des Innenraums angeordneten Aufnahmenuten abstützen. Diese Traggitter sind zur Einlagerung von Getränkeflaschen in einer zur Öffnung des Innenraums hin abgekippten Position angeordnet, wodurch die Lagerkapazität für sonstiges Lagergut innerhalb des Kühlraumes jedoch deutlich geschmälert ist. Zur Vermeidung des sich daraus ergebenden Nachteils wird in der DE-OS 30 39 636 ein an den Drahtstäben der Traggitter einhängbarer Flaschenhalter vorgeschlagen, welcher bei zusätzlichem Lagerbedarf für flaschenartiges Lagergut an den Drahtstäben der in den Kühlschränken eingesetzten Traggitter einhängbar ist. Im Gegensatz zu der aus der DE-OS 26 35 364 bekannten Lösung, wonach eines der Traggitter auch schon bei der Einlagerung einer Getränkeflasche in die dafür vorgesehene Halteposition zu bringen ist und somit die Ablagefläche dieses Traggitters nur noch bedingt zum Abstellen von anderweitigem Kühlgut geeignet ist, erlaubt die Lösung gemäß der DE-OS 30 39 636 auch trotz der Einlagerung von Getränkeflaschen weiterhin die vollflächige Nutzung der Ablageflächen des Traggitters. Jedoch ist zur Einlagerung einer jeden Getränkeflasche je ein an dem Traggitter einhängbarer Flaschenträger erforderlich, wobei diese nur in begrenzter Stückzahl an dem Traggitter anbringbar sind und den Stauraum innerhalb dieses Traggitters wesentlich vermindern. Zudem ist für diese Flaschenhalter für den Fall, dass sie nicht zur Lagerung von Getränkeflaschen genutzt werden, ein mit einem entsprechenden Lagervolumen ausgestatteter Aufbewahrungsort außerhalb des Kühlraumes notwendig, wenn man in diesem Fall dessen Lagerkapazität voll nutzen möchte.Furthermore, in order to expand the storage capacity for bottle-like stored goods, a cooling device was proposed in DE-A-26 35 364, the interior of which can be subdivided with support grids suitable for storing bottles, which are supported in their lateral ends in receiving grooves arranged on the side walls of the interior. These support grids are arranged for the storage of beverage bottles in a position tilted towards the opening of the interior, whereby the storage capacity for other stored goods within the cooling space is significantly reduced. In order to avoid the resulting disadvantage, DE-OS 30 39 636 proposes a bottle holder which can be hung on the wire rods of the supporting grids and which can be hung on the wire rods of the supporting grids used in the refrigerators if there is an additional storage requirement for bottle-like storage goods. In contrast to the solution known from DE-OS 26 35 364, according to which one of the supporting grids is already in use Storage of a beverage bottle is to be brought into the intended holding position and thus the storage surface of this support grid is only conditionally suitable for storing other refrigerated goods, the solution according to DE-OS 30 39 636 also allows the full-surface use of the despite the storage of beverage bottles Storage areas of the support grid. However, for the storage of each beverage bottle, a bottle holder that can be attached to the support grid is required, whereby these can only be attached to the support grid in limited numbers and significantly reduce the storage space within this support grid. In addition, for these bottle holders, if they are not used to store beverage bottles, a storage location outside the cold storage room with a corresponding storage volume is necessary if one wants to make full use of its storage capacity in this case.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Lagervorrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 mit einfachen konstruktiven Maßnahmen derart zu verbessern, dass die Nachteile des Standes der Technik vermieden sind.The invention has for its object to improve a storage device according to the preamble of claim 1 with simple design measures such that the disadvantages of the prior art are avoided.

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, dass das Halteelement mit dem Stützschenkel einen weiteren, im wesentlichen rechtwinkelig in Verschieberichtung daran angeordneten Schenkel aufweist, welcher zur Lagerung und Halterung des Halteelements am Zwischenboden dient, wobei der Stützschenkel im Zusammenwirken mit der Tragfläche und der seitlichen Begrenzungswand die Haltevorrichtung bildet.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the holding element with the support leg has a further leg arranged substantially at right angles in the direction of displacement thereon, which is used for mounting and holding the holding element on the intermediate floor, the support leg interacting with the wing and the side Boundary wall forms the holding device.

Eine derartige Lösung bietet die Möglichkeit, durch ein einziges zusätzliches Funktionselement in Form einer verschieblich am Zwischenboden gelagerten Trennwand die Abstellfläche am Zwischenboden je nach Platzbedarf für das einzulagernde flaschenartige Lagergut abzuteilen, so dass die verbleibende Abstellfläche am Zwischenboden weiterhin zur Nutzung für anderweitiges Kühlgut zur Verfügung steht. Darüber hinaus kann die verschieblich gelagerte Trennwand, für den Fall, dass am Zwischenboden keine Abstellfläche für flaschenartiges Kühlgut in Form von Getränkeflaschen beansprucht wird, am seitlichen Rand des Zwischenbodens positioniert werden, so dass die Abstellfläche des Zwischenbodens durch diese Trennwand nur unwesentlich geschmälert und die Beschickung des Zwischenbodens nicht beeinträchtigt ist. Außerdem ist der Stauraum eines mit der Trennwand ausgestatteten Möbels im wesentlichen unvermindert. Darüber hinaus bietet die erfindungsgemäße Lösung den Vorteil, dass das Halteelement besonders biegesteif gelagert und gehalten ist. Durch die rechtwinkelige Zuordnung des Stützelements zum Halteschenkel ist außerdem eine besonders günstige Unterteilung der Abstellfläche des Zwischenbodens erzielt.Such a solution offers the possibility of dividing the storage space on the intermediate floor according to the space requirement for the bottle-like storage goods to be stored by means of a single additional functional element in the form of a partition wall slidably mounted on the intermediate floor, so that the remaining storage area on the intermediate floor is still available for use for other refrigerated goods , In addition, the displaceably mounted partition wall, in the event that no shelf for bottle-like refrigerated goods in the form of beverage bottles is claimed on the intermediate floor, can be positioned on the side edge of the intermediate floor, so that the storage surface of the intermediate floor is only insignificantly reduced by this partition and the loading the intermediate floor is not affected. In addition, the storage space is one with the partition equipped furniture essentially unabated. In addition, the solution according to the invention offers the advantage that the holding element is mounted and held in a particularly rigid manner. The right-angled assignment of the support element to the holding leg also results in a particularly favorable subdivision of the storage area of the intermediate floor.

Nach einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der zur Halterung und Lagerung des Halteelements dienende Schenkel lösbar am Zwischenboden festgesetzt ist.According to a preferred embodiment of the subject matter of the invention, it is provided that the leg serving to hold and support the holding element is detachably fixed to the intermediate floor.

Durch eine derartige Lösung kann das als Trennung dienende Halteelement je nach Art des zu lagernden Gutes oder des benötigten Stauraumes auf einfache Weise vom Zwischenboden entfernt werden. Ferner ist es möglich, das Halteelement bei mehreren Zwischenböden an den zur Einlagerung für das flaschenartige Kühlgut momentan günstigsten umzusetzen, ohne dass ein Wechsel der in Frage kommenden Zwischenböden notwendig wird.With such a solution, the holding element serving as a separation can be removed from the intermediate floor in a simple manner, depending on the type of goods to be stored or the storage space required. Furthermore, it is possible to implement the holding element in the case of a plurality of intermediate shelves at the currently cheapest for storage for the bottle-like refrigerated goods, without the need to change the intermediate shelves in question.

Entsprechend einer nächsten bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der zur Halterung und Lagerung des Halteelements dienende Schenkel an der der Beschickungsseite des Zwischenbodens gegenüberliegenden Rückseite angeordnet und der Stützschenkel mit seinem freien Ende zur Beschickungsseite hin gerichtet ist.According to a next preferred embodiment of the subject matter of the invention, it is provided that the leg serving to hold and support the holding element is arranged on the rear side opposite the loading side of the intermediate floor and the free end of the supporting leg is directed towards the loading side.

Eine derartige Anordnung des Halteelements bezüglich des Zwischenbodens ermöglicht einerseits eine besonders günstige Beschickung für diesen. Andererseits ist durch die Anordnung des zur Halterung und Lagerung dienenden Schenkels an der Rückseite des Zwischenbodens weitestgehend sichergestellt, dass dessen ursprüngliche Einstellposition durch den Beschickungsvorgang nicht ungewollt verändert wird.Such an arrangement of the holding element with respect to the intermediate floor, on the one hand, enables particularly favorable loading for the latter. On the other hand, the arrangement of the leg for holding and storage on the back of the intermediate floor largely ensures that its original setting position is not changed unintentionally by the loading process.

Besonders günstig und zweckmäßig ist das Halteelement am Zwischenboden gelagert und gehaltert, wenn nach einer nächsten vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des Gegenstandes der Erfindung vorgesehen ist, dass der Zwischenboden an seiner Rückseite mit einer Anschlagwand versehen ist, welcher der zur Halterung und Lagerung des Halteelements dienende Schenkel verschieblich gehaltert und geführt ist.The holding element is mounted and held on the intermediate floor in a particularly favorable and expedient manner if, according to a next advantageous embodiment of the object of the invention, it is provided that the intermediate floor is provided on its rear side with an abutment wall which slidably supports the leg serving for holding and storing the holding element and is led.

Nach einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der zur Halterung und Lagerung des Halteelements dienende Schenkel eine U-förmig geformte Aufnahme aufweist, welche die Anschlagwand zur Führung des Schenkels übergreift.According to a further preferred embodiment of the subject matter of the invention, it is provided that the leg serving to hold and support the holding element has a U-shaped receptacle which engages over the stop wall for guiding the leg.

Durch eine Lösung gemäß diesen Merkmalen lässt sich auf einfache Weise mit geringem fertigungstechnischen Aufwand eine stabile Halterung und Lagerung des Halteelements erzielen, welches durch diese Lösung zugleich präzise an der Begrenzungswand geführt ist. Außerdem lässt sich ein derartiges Halteelement von einer Bedienperson besonders leicht handhaben.By means of a solution according to these features, a stable mounting and mounting of the holding element can be achieved in a simple manner with little production expenditure, which is at the same time guided precisely on the boundary wall by this solution. In addition, such a holding element can be handled particularly easily by an operator.

Gemäß einer letzten bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der zur Halterung und Lagerung des Halteelements dienende Schenkel und der Stützschenkelgelenk miteinander verbunden sind, wobei die Gelenkachse parallel zu dem der Halterung und Lagerung dienenden Schenkel verläuft und der Stützschenkel um diese Gelenkachse aus dem Bereich der Tragfläche des Zwischenbodens verschwenkbar ist.According to a last preferred embodiment of the subject matter of the invention, it is provided that the leg serving for holding and mounting the holding element and the supporting leg joint are connected to one another, the articulated axis running parallel to the leg serving for holding and supporting and the supporting leg about this articulated axis from the Area of the wing of the intermediate floor is pivotable.

Durch eine solche, Lösung ist es möglich, das Halteelement am Zwischenboden auch dann angeordnet zu belassen, wenn dessen Abstellfläche vollständig der Einlagerung von anderweitigem Lagergut benötigt wird. Eine Demontage des Halteelements und eine vom Zwischenboden getrennte Aufbewahrung für dieses erübrigt sich dadurch.With such a solution, it is possible to leave the holding element arranged on the intermediate floor even when its storage area is completely required for the storage of other stored goods. A dismantling of the holding element and a separate storage for the intermediate floor for this is unnecessary.

Die Erfindung ist in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung anhand eines in der beigefügten Zeichnung vereinfacht dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles erläutert.The invention is explained in the following description with reference to an embodiment shown in simplified form in the accompanying drawing.

Gemäß Fig.1 ist ein Haushalts-Tischkühlschrank 10 gezeigt, dessen wäremisolierendes Gehäuse 11 zusammen mit einer daran angeschlagenen, ebenfalls wärmeisolierend ausgebildeten Tür 12 einen gegenüber der Außenatmosphäre wärmeisolierten Kühlraum 13 umschließt. Dieser ist mit einer Kunststoffinnenverkleidung 14 ausgestattet, welche an ihren Seitenwänden 15 in gleichen Abständen übereinander angeordnete, nutenartige Aufnahmen 16 aufweist. Diese dienen zur Einbringung und Abstützung der seitlichen Randabschnitte von Zwischenböden 17, welche eine gläserne Tragfläche 18 aufweisen, deren Umfangsränder von einem geschlossenen Kunststoffrahmen 19 eingefaßt sind, dessen seitliche, den nutenartigen Aufnahmen 16 zugewandten Rahmenabschnitte zur Abstützung und Führung des Zwischenbodens 17 im Kühlraum 13 dienen. Der den Zwischenboden 17 umgebende Kunststoffrahmen 19 ist auf seiner von der Tür 12 abgewandten Rückseite mit einer gegenüber seinen restlichen Rahmenteilen überhöht ausgeführten Anschlagwand 20 ausgestattet. Entlang dieser ist ein Halteelement 21 verschieblich gehaltert und gelagert, welches zwei unterschiedlich lange, im wesentlichen rechtwinklig zueinander angeordnete Schenkel aufweist, von denen der längere, in die Tragfläche 18 des Zwischenbodens 17 ragende, bügelförmig geformte Schenkel als Stützschenkel 22 dient, während der rechtwinklig dazu angeordnete, im Vergleich zu den Stützschenkel 22 kürzer ausgebildete Schenkel 23 zur Halterung und Lagerung des Halteelements 21 dient.According to FIG. 1, a household table-top refrigerator 10 is shown, the heat-insulating housing 11 of which, together with a door 12 which is also attached to it and is also heat-insulating, encloses a cooling space 13 which is heat-insulated from the outside atmosphere. This is equipped with a plastic inner lining 14 which has groove-like receptacles 16 arranged one above the other at equal intervals on its side walls 15. These serve to introduce and support the lateral edge sections of intermediate floors 17, which have a glass supporting surface 18, the peripheral edges of which are enclosed by a closed plastic frame 19, the lateral frame sections of which face the groove-like receptacles 16 for supporting and guiding the intermediate floor 17 in the cooling space 13 , The plastic frame 19 surrounding the intermediate floor 17 is equipped on its rear side facing away from the door 12 with an abutment wall 20 which is designed to be higher than its remaining frame parts. Along this, a holding element 21 is slidably supported and supported, which has two legs of different lengths, essentially at right angles to one another, of which the longer, bow-shaped leg which projects into the supporting surface 18 of the intermediate floor 17 serves as a support leg 22, while the leg is at right angles to it arranged, compared to the support leg 22 shorter leg 23 is used to hold and support the holding member 21.

Wie insbesondere aus Fig.2 hervorgeht ist, der kürzere Schenkel 23 zu diesem Zweck mit einer im Querschnitt U-förmigen Aufnahme 24 ausgestattet, deren Länge kürzer als die des Schenkels 23 (siehe hierzu Fig.3) bemessen ist. Die Aufnahme 24 übergreift zu ihrer Halterung und Lagerung die Anschlag 20, wobei die Abmessungen der Aufnahme 24 derart an die der Anschlagwand 20 angepasst sind, dass sich der kürzere Schenkel wie unter Fig.3 mit dem Doppelpfeil angedeutet, entlang der Anschlagwand 20 verschieblich geführt bewegen lässt. Durch die Verschiebemöglichkeit des Schenkels 23 entlang der Anschlagwand 20 sind unterschiedliche, je nach Einstellung verschieden große Ablageflächen für flaschenartiges Kühlgut 24 in Form von Getränkeflaschen abgrenzbar, deren unterschiedliche Anzahl und Querschnittsabmessungen durch die Verschiebemöglichkeit auf einfache Weise Rechnung getragen werden kann. Die der Querschnittsabmessung und der Flaschenanzahl entsprechende Halteposition des Halteelements 21 wird durch eine Art Selbstklemmeffekt des kürzeren Schenkels 23 an der Anschlagwand 20 erzielt, wobei die den Klemmeffekt hervorrufenden Kräfte über das eingelagerte flaschenartige Lagergut 24 auf den Stützschenkel 22 und von diesem auf den kürzeren Schenkel 23 eingeleitet werden. Für den Fall, daß vorübergehend kein flaschenartiges Lagergut 24 in dem mit dem Halteelement 21 bestückten Zwischenbodens 17 gelagert werden soll, kann dieses entweder wie unter Fig.2 mit dem Doppelpfeil angedeutet, von der Anschlagwand 20 abgenommen oder aber mit seinem Stützschenkel 22 nahe der entsprechenden Seitenwand 15 der Innenverkleidung 14 positioniert werden, so dass die durch das Halteelement 21, dem Zwischenboden 17 und der entsprechenden Seitenwand 15 gebildete Haltevorrichtung weder die Lagerkapazität des entsprechenden Zwischenbodens 17 bedeutsam schmälert noch die Beschickung dieses Zwischenbodens 17 wesentlich stört.As can be seen in particular from FIG. 2, the shorter leg 23 is equipped for this purpose with a receptacle 24 with a U-shaped cross section, the length of which is shorter than that of the leg 23 (see FIG. 3). The receptacle 24 overlaps the stop 20 for its mounting and storage, the dimensions of the receptacle 24 being adapted to that of the stop wall 20 such that the shorter leg, as indicated by the double arrow in FIG. 3, moves displaceably guided along the stop wall 20 leaves. Due to the possibility of moving the leg 23 along the stop wall 20, different, depending on the setting, differently sized storage areas for bottle-like refrigerated goods 24 in the form of beverage bottles can be delimited, the different number and cross-sectional dimensions of which can be easily taken into account by the possibility of moving. The holding position of the holding element 21 corresponding to the cross-sectional dimension and the number of bottles is achieved by a kind of self-clamping effect of the shorter leg 23 on the stop wall 20, the forces causing the clamping effect via the stored bottle-like stored goods 24 on the support leg 22 and from there onto the shorter leg 23 be initiated. In the event that temporarily no bottle-like stored goods 24 are to be stored in the intermediate floor 17 equipped with the holding element 21, this can either be indicated by the double arrow as shown in FIG. 2, removed from the stop wall 20 or with its support leg 22 close to the corresponding one Side wall 15 of the inner lining 14 are positioned so that the holding device formed by the holding element 21, the intermediate floor 17 and the corresponding side wall 15 neither significantly reduces the storage capacity of the corresponding intermediate floor 17 nor significantly interferes with the loading of this intermediate floor 17.

Eine weitere Möglichkeit das Halteelement 21 bei seiner Nichtbenutzung aus dem Ablagebereich der Tragfläche 18 des Zwischenbodens 17 zu entfernen ist gegeben, wenn der Stützschenkel mit dem zur Halterung dienenden Schenkel 23 gelenkig verbunden ist, wobei die Gelenkachse parallel zur Anschlagwand 20 verläuft und der Stützschenkel 22 um diese Gelenkachse aus der Tragfläche 18 heraus und zur Rückwand der Innenverkleidung 14 hin verschwenkbar ist.A further possibility of removing the holding element 21 when it is not in use from the storage area of the supporting surface 18 of the intermediate floor 17 is provided if the support leg is connected in an articulated manner to the leg 23 used for holding, the articulated axis running parallel to the stop wall 20 and the support leg 22 around this hinge axis can be pivoted out of the wing 18 and toward the rear wall of the inner lining 14.

Das Halteelement 21 kann entsprechend der gewünschten Lagerhöhe innerhalb des Kühlraums 13 natürlich auf einen anderen, der Lagerhöhe entsprechenden Zwischenboden 17 umgesetzt werden.The holding element 21 can of course be implemented in accordance with the desired storage height within the cooling space 13 on another intermediate floor 17 corresponding to the storage height.

Es versteht sich, dass die Haltevorrichtung aus verschiedenen, für Tragzwecke geeigneten Materialien gefertigt werden kann, wobei sich bei der Anwendung entsprechender thermoplastischer Kunststoffe in Versuchen bereits gute Ergebnisse erzielen ließen.It goes without saying that the holding device can be produced from various materials suitable for carrying purposes, and good results have already been obtained in experiments with the use of appropriate thermoplastic materials.
