Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Kältegerät wie ein Gefriergerät, eine Kühl- und Gefrierkombination oder dergleichen nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 . So ein Kältegerät ist aus US-A-2 773 362 und US-A-2 222 201 bekannt.The invention relates to a refrigerator such as a freezer, a fridge-freezer or similar according to the preamble of claim 1. Such a refrigerator is known from US-A-2 773 362 and US-A-2 222 201.

Bei Gefriergeräten ist es bekannt, neben schubladenartigen Ablagefächem zur Einlagerung von Gefriergut auch Ablagefächer innerhalb des Gefrierraumes auszubilden, welche auf ihrer der Tür des Gefriergerätes zugewandten Seite mit einer um eine horizontale Achse verschwenkbaren Klappe verschließbar sind. Derartige Klappen finden vor allem bei höher bauenden Gefriergeräten zum Verschließen ihrer höher liegenden Gefrierfächer Anwendung, da bei Gefrierschränken mit großer Bauhöhe die Einsichtnahme von in schubladenartigen Aufnahmefächem angeordnetem Lagergut nur unter Anwendung von leiterähnlichen Hilfsmitteln oder dergleichen möglich ist. Die Anwendung von verschwenkbaren Klappen zum Verschließen der Ablagefläche bringt jedoch mit sich, daß im Gegensatz zu den schubladenartig ausgebildeten Ausnahmefächern keine Ablagemöglichkeit zur Zwischenlagerung von Lagergut vorhanden ist, welches zum Beispiel ein- oder umgelagert werden soll.For freezers, it is known, in addition to drawer-like storage compartments for storage of frozen goods also to form storage compartments within the freezer compartment, which on its side facing the door of the freezer with one to a horizontal Axis pivoting flap are lockable. Find such flaps especially in higher-built freezers for closing their higher lying Freezers application, as in freezers with high height inspection of stored in drawer-like storage subjects stored goods only below Application of ladder-like tools or the like is possible. The application of pivotable flaps for closing the shelf brings, however with it, that in contrast to the drawer-like trained exception subjects no storage facility for temporary storage of stored goods is available, which for example, to be transferred or relocated.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei einem Kältegerät gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 mit einfachen konstruktiven Maßnahmen die Nachteile des Standes der Technik zu vermeiden und den Gerätegebrauchsnutzen zu erhöhen.The invention is based on the object, in a refrigerator according to the preamble of claim 1 with simple constructive measures, the disadvantages of To avoid prior art and to increase the device use benefits.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch den Gegenstand des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This task will solved by the subject matter of claim 1.

Die erfindungsgemäße Maßnahme verhindert nicht nur, daß die Klappe nach ihrem Öffnen ungewollt gegen die Frontseite eines unmittelbar darunter angeordneten Aufnahmefaches schlägt, sondern eröffnet zugleich die Möglichkeit, zur Ein- oder Umlagerung vorgesehenes Gefriergut ablegen zu können. Durch die Möglichkeit, vorübergehend Lagergut auf der horizontal gehaltenen Lage zwischenlagern zu können, erleichtert sich nicht nur das Einsortieren des Lagergutes in das Aufnahmefach, sondern ist auch verhindert, daß eine Bedienperson beim Ein- und Umräumvorgang tiefgekühltes Lagergut über längeren Zeitraum halten oder gegebenenfalls in einem weiteren Aufnahmefach zwischenlagern muß. In letzterem Fall kann ein erheblicher Kälteverlust dann die Folge sein, wenn es sich bei dem zur Zwischenlagerung in Anspruch genommenen Aufnahmefach um ein gitterförmiges Schubfach handelt. Ferner kann an der durch die horizontale Klappenlage geschaffenen Ablageposition verschiedenartiges Gefriergut zwischengelagert werden, um es von dort in bequemer Weise in die verschiedenen Aufnahmefächer einsortieren zu können.The measure according to the invention not only prevents the flap after her Unintentionally open against the front of a receiving compartment located immediately below beats, but at the same time opens the possibility for Ein- or rearrangement to store the intended frozen food. By being able to temporarily Storage goods on the horizontally held position to be able to temporarily stored, relieved not only the sorting of the stored goods in the receptacle, but is It also prevents an operator from deep-frozen during the entry and clearing process Keep stored goods for a longer period of time or, if necessary, in another storage compartment must temporarily store. In the latter case, a significant cold loss then be the consequence, if it is used in the intermediate storage Storage compartment is a grid-shaped drawer. Furthermore, at the created by the horizontal flap position storage position diverse Frozen goods are stored in a convenient way to move it from there to the different ones To sort storage compartments.

Durch die bereits während ihres Herstellvorgangs eingeprägte Kontur der Fangbänder ist bei geschlossener Klappe eine definierte Form der Fangbänder erreicht und somit ein undefiniertes sperriges Verformungsverhalten der Fangbänder vermieden.Due to the already impressed during their manufacturing process contour of the tethers is achieved with the flap closed a defined shape of the tethers and thus an undefined bulky deformation behavior of the tethers avoided.

Nach einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß zwei Fangbänder vorgesehen sind, welche einerseits an den seitlichen Randabschnitten der Klappe und andererseits an den seitlichen Rändern des Aufnahmefaches gehaltert sind.According to a preferred embodiment of the subject of the invention is provided that two tethers are provided, which on the one hand on the side Edge portions of the flap and on the other hand at the lateral edges of the receiving compartment are held.

Durch diese Art der Anbringung der Fangbänder ist das Be- und Entladen des mit einer Klappe verschlossenen Aufnahmefaches ungehindert möglich. Außerdem ist durch eine derartige Anbringung der Fangbänder eine belastbare und lagestabile Halterung der Klappe in ihrer horizontalen Lage gewährleistet und zugleich eine ungewollte Beschädigung der Fangbänder weitestgehend ausgeschlossen. By this type of attachment of the tethers loading and unloading with a flap closed storage compartment unhindered possible. Besides that is by such attachment of the tethers a resilient and stable storage the flap ensures in its horizontal position and at the same time an unwanted Damage to the tethers largely excluded.

Nach einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die Fangbänder mit einem Ende lösbar an zur Arretierung der Klappe in geschlossenem Zustand dienenden Haltebolzen und mit ihrem anderen Ende lösbar an der Klappe gehaltert sind.According to a further preferred embodiment of the article of the invention is provided that the tethers releasably connected to one end to lock the Flap in the closed state serving holding bolts and with their other End are releasably held on the flap.

Durch die Befestigung des Fangbandes mit einem seiner Enden an einem bereits vorhandenem Haltebolzen ist nicht nur der Fertigungsaufwand am Kühlgutbehälter des Kältegerätes deutlich reduziert, sondern zugleich die an sich in diesem Bereich des Kältegerätes prinzipbedingt beengten Platzverhältnisse nicht noch zusätzlich durch Anbringung eines weiteren Haltebolzens geschmälert und somit die Montagetätigkeit nicht unnötig erschwert. Zudem ermöglicht die lösbare Halterung der Fangbänder im Schadensfall eine besonders leichte Demontage des defekten Fangbandes und somit ein besonders einfaches Ersetzen des defekten Fangbandes ohne Zuhilfenahme eines Reperaturdienstes.By attaching the tether with one of its ends to one already existing retaining bolt is not only the production cost of refrigerated goods of the Refrigeration unit significantly reduced, but at the same time in itself in this area of the Refrigeration unit inherently cramped space not additionally through Attachment of another retaining pin diminished and thus the assembly activity not unnecessarily difficult. In addition, the detachable mounting of the tethers in Damage a particularly easy disassembly of the defective tether and thus a particularly simple replacement of the defective tether without the aid of a Repair service.

Besonders einfach mit geringem Fertigungsaufwand befestigbar sind die Fangbänder an der Klappe, wenn nach einer letzten bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung vorgesehen ist, daß die lösbare Halterung der Fangbänder an der Klappe durch jeweils ein am Fangband angeordnetes und mit der Klappe verrastbares Halteelement erzeugt ist.The tethers are particularly easy to attach with low production costs at the flap, when according to a last preferred embodiment of the article the invention is provided that the releasable mounting of the tethers on the Flap by a respective arranged on the tether and latched with the flap Holding element is generated.
