Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Abstellbehälter gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a storage container according to the preamble of claim 1.
Ein solcher Abstellbehälter ist aus EP 0 580 962 bekannt.Such a storage container is known from EP 0 580 962.
Derartige Abstellgeräte haben im allgemeinen die Form von im wesentlichen quaderförmigen, oben offenen Kästen, die im wesentlichen vorgesehen sind, um in Flaschen oder Gläsern abgepackte Kühlgüter aufzunehmen. Im allgemeinen sind diese Abstellbehälter mit Rastmitteln versehen, die eine lösbare Befestigung an der Innenfläche der Tür in unterschiedlichen Höhen ermöglichen.Such storage devices generally have the form of substantially cuboidal, open-topped boxes, which are substantially provided to receive refrigerated goods packed in bottles or jars. In general, these storage containers are provided with locking means which allow a releasable attachment to the inner surface of the door at different heights.
Um Kosten zu sparen, ist es für den Hersteller von Kältegeräten wünschenswert, die Türen der Geräte so zu konzipieren, dass eine große Vielfalt von Gerätemodellen mit einer möglichst geringen Zahl unterschiedlicher Modelle von Abstellbehältern bestückt werden kann.In order to save costs, it is desirable for the manufacturer of refrigeration appliances to design the doors of the appliances in such a way that a large variety of appliance models can be equipped with as few as possible different models of storage containers.
Das Ergebnis einer solchen Konstruktion ist jedoch, dass die diversen Gerätemodelle im Innern ein sehr einheitliches Aussehen erhalten, was nicht immer erwünscht ist. Wenn z.B. ein Hersteller unterschiedliche Modellreihen fertigt, von denen z.B. eine auf Funktionalität und ein gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis optimiert ist, wohingegen eine andere möglicherweise eher den Anspruch der Kunden an Exklusivität befriedigen soll, so muss auch die Innenausstattung einschließlich der Tür-Abstellbehälter an den Anspruch der einzelnen Modellreihen angepasst sein. Dies bedeutet bislang, dass derartige Teile nicht innerhalb des gesamten Produktsortiments des Herstellers einheitlich eingesetzt werden können, sondern dass sie jeweils für einzelne Modelle oder Modellserien eigens konstruiert werden müssen, was mit erheblichen Kosten verbunden ist.The result of such a design, however, is that the various device models inside receive a very uniform appearance, which is not always desirable. If e.g. a manufacturer makes different series of models, e.g. one is optimized for functionality and value for money, while another is more likely to satisfy customers' demand for exclusivity, so the interior design, including door storage boxes, must also be adapted to the needs of each model series. This means so far that such parts can not be used uniformly within the entire product range of the manufacturer, but that they each have to be specially designed for individual models or model series, which is associated with considerable costs.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist, einen Abstellbehälter zur Montage in einer Tür eines Kältegeräts, dessen äußeres Erscheinungsbild auf einfache Weise veränderbar ist und der dadurch geeignet ist, in einer Vielzahl von Modellreihen verwendet zu werden, bzw. ein Kältegerät mit einem auf einfache Weise variablen Aussehen im Innern zu schaffen.The object of the present invention is to provide a storage container for mounting in a door of a refrigerating appliance, the external appearance of which is easily changeable and which is thereby suitable for use in a plurality of model series, or a refrigerator with a simply variable appearance to create within.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch einen Abstellbehälter, der die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 aufweist. Der Ausschnitt kann sich über einen großen Teil der Fläche der Sichtseite erstrecken, so dass die optische Gestaltung des Querelements den ästhetischen Gesamteindruck eines Betrachters von dem Abstellbehälter bestimmt, und der Korpus demgegenüber in der Wahrnehmung des Betrachters in den Hintergrund tritt. Der Korpus kann daher für eine Vielzahl von Modellen oder Modellreihen einheitlich gefertigt werden, eine Anpassung des Abstellbehälters an ein gewünschtes Erscheinungsbild der Kältegeräte einer Modellreihe kann ausschließlich mit Hilfe des Querelements erfolgen. Für den Behälterkorpus ergeben sich so Einsparungen bei der Fertigung, da dieser in größeren Stückzahlen hergestellt und eingesetzt werden kann. Eine Anpassung an ein gewünschtes äußeres Erscheinungsbild der einzelnen Modellreihen erfolgt durch die Auswahl des Querelements, das in einer begrenzten Zahl von Versionen konstruiert werden muss, wobei allerdings der Aufwand zu seiner Konstruktion und zur Herstellung der jeweils zu seiner Produktion spezifisch benötigten Werkzeuge wesentlich geringer ist, als bei einem vollständigen Abstellbehälter.The object is achieved by a storage container having the features of claim 1. The cutout can extend over a large part of the surface of the visible side, so that the optical design of the transverse element determines the overall aesthetic impression of a viewer from the storage container, and the body, in contrast, in the perception of the viewer in the background. The body can therefore be made uniform for a variety of models or model series, an adjustment of the storage container to a desired appearance of the refrigerators of a model series can be done only with the help of the cross member. For the container body, this results in savings in production, since it can be produced and used in larger quantities. An adaptation to a desired external appearance of the individual model series is achieved by selecting the transverse element, which must be constructed in a limited number of versions, but the effort for its construction and for the production of the tools specifically required for its production is substantially lower, as a complete storage container.
Um das Querelement in für einen Benutzer möglichst wenig auffälliger Weise am Behälterkorpus zu befestigen, sind gemäß der Erfindung an gegenüberliegenden Rändern des Ausschnitts zum Innern des Behälterkorpus offene Rastaussparungen zum Verrasten von Kopfabschnitten des Querelements vorgesehen.In order to secure the cross member in as little as possible conspicuous manner to the container body, open locking recesses for latching of head portions of the transverse element are provided according to the invention at opposite edges of the cutout to the interior of the container body.
Vorzugsweise weist das Querelement einen langgestreckten Mittelabschnitt auf, der sich von einem der gegenüberliegenden Ränder des Ausschnitts zum anderen erstreckt und mit den Kopfabschnitten in seiner Längsrichtung steckverbunden ist. Diese Ausgestaltung erlaubt es, auch die Kopfabschnitte für diverse Modellreihen einheitlich zu verwenden, und lediglich den von außen deutlich sichtbaren Mittelabschnitt modellreihenspezifisch anzufertigen.Preferably, the cross member has an elongate central portion extending from one of the opposite edges of the cutout to the other and being plugged into the head portions in its longitudinal direction. This embodiment also makes it possible to use the head sections uniformly for various model series, and to make only the center section, which is clearly visible from the outside, model-model-specific.
Jeder Kopfabschnitt weist wenigstens einen, vorzugsweise wenigstens zwei dem Mittelabschnitt zugewandte Bohrungen auf, die zum Aufnehmen von an den Enden des Mittelabschnitts vorgesehenen Zapfen dienen können. Es können aber auch umgekehrt Zapfen am Kopfabschnitt und Bohrungen in dem Mittelabschnitt vorgesehen werden.Each head portion has at least one, preferably at least two holes facing the central portion, which can serve for receiving provided at the ends of the central portion pin. However, it is also possible to provide cones on the head section and holes in the middle section.
Eine mögliche und praktische Erscheinungsform des Mittelabschnitts ist wenigstens eine mit ihren Enden in die Bohrungen eingreifende Stange. Wenn der Kopfabschnitt wenigstens zwei Bohrungen aufweist, so kann insbesondere Abhängigkeit von der Höhe des Behälterkorpus bzw. des Ausschnitts ein aus einer einzelnen oder aus wenigstens zwei Stangen bestehender Mittelabschnitt verwendet werden.A possible and practical manifestation of the middle section is at least one rod engaging with its ends in the bores. If the head section has at least two bores, it is possible in particular to use a dependence on the height of the container body or the cutout of a central section consisting of a single or of at least two bars.
Der Durchmesser der Stange entspricht vorzugsweise dem der Bohrungen.The diameter of the rod preferably corresponds to that of the holes.
Eine solche Stange kann aus Stahl oder anderem geeigneten Metall bestehen.Such a rod may be made of steel or other suitable metal.
Alternativ kann der Mittelabschnitt auch die Form eines Hohlprofils, insbesondere mit U-förmigem oder rechteckförmigem Querschnitt haben. Ein solches Hohlprofil kann aus einem Kunststoff bestehen, der, um eine optische Differenzierung zum Korpus des Behälters zu erreichen, z.B. transparent oder eingefärbt sein kann, während der Behälterkorpus herkömmlicherweise im allgemeinen aus einem weißen Kunststoff besteht.Alternatively, the central portion may also have the shape of a hollow profile, in particular with a U-shaped or rectangular cross-section. Such a hollow profile may be made of a plastic which, in order to achieve optical differentiation to the body of the container, e.g. may be transparent or colored, while the container body is conventionally generally made of a white plastic.
Eine weitere Gestaltungsmöglichkeit ist die Verwendung eines Mittelabschnitts in Form eines die gesamte Fläche des Ausschnitts überdeckenden Schildes. Ein solches Schild kann aus den gleichen Materialien wie das erwähnte Hohlprofil gefertigt sein.Another design option is the use of a central portion in the form of a covering the entire surface of the cutout sign. Such a shield can be made of the same materials as the mentioned hollow profile.
Die Aufgabe wird ferner gelöst durch ein Kältegerät, das mit einer Mehrzahl von Abstellbehältern der oben definierten Art ausgerüstet ist.The object is further achieved by a refrigeration device which is equipped with a plurality of storage containers of the type defined above.

Ein Kopfstück 16 ist zum formschlüssigen Eingriff in der Rastaussparung 16 vorgesehen. Das Kopfstück 16 weist zwei Bohrungen 17 auf, die jeweils bemessen sind, um ein Ende einer Stange wie der gezeigten Stange 11 aufzunehmen.Fig. 2 shows in an exploded view, as the
Wenn das Kopfstück 16 an einem hohen Abstellbehälter wie etwa dem Behälter 5 verwendet wird, wird eine Stange 11 in jede Bohrung 17 eingesteckt und das so aus zwei Stangen 11 und zwei Kopfstücken 16 gebildete Querelement 10 wird vom Innenraum des Korpus 7 her in die zwei Rastaussparungen 15 in Richtung des Pfeils A eingeschoben.When the
Bei Verwendung zusammen mit einem niedrigen Korpus, so im Falle der Abstellbehälter 2, 4, wird nur die obere Bohrung 17 des Kopfstücks 16 mit einer Stange 11 versehen; die untere Bohrung kann, damit sie einem Betrachter nicht auffällt und keinen Schmutz sammeln kann, mit einem (nicht dargestellten) Kunststoffstopfen verschlossen werden. Dieser Stopfen, das Kopfstück 16 und der Korpus 7 bestehen vorzugsweise aus dem gleichen Kunststoffmaterial.When used together with a low body, so in the case of the
Fig. 3 zeigt eine Ansicht des Kopfstücks 6 aus einer zu den Bohrungen 17 parallelen Richtung. An der Unterseite des Kopfstücks 16 ist eine flexibel eindrückbare Zunge 18 zu erkennen, die beim Eindrücken des Kopfstücks 16 in die Rastaussparung 15 ins Innere des Kopfstücks 16 verdrängt wird und, sobald dieses seine Endposition in der Rastaussparung 15 erreicht hat, wieder elastisch ausklappt und in eine Vertiefung 19 der unteren Seitenwand der Rastaussparung 15 eingreift, um das Kopfstück 16 darin zu verrasten. Entsprechende Zungen und Vertiefungen können auch an anderen Seitenflächen des Kopfstücks 16 und der Rastaussparung 15 vorgesehen sein.Fig. 3 shows a view of the head piece 6 from a direction parallel to the
Fig. 4 zeigt in einer perspektivischen Teilansicht einen Abstellbehälter gemäß einer zweiten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung. Der Korpus 7 dieses Abstellbehälters ist identisch mit denen der Figs. 1, 2, lediglich das Erscheinungsbild des Querelements ist verändert. Anstelle von ein oder zwei Stangen 11 hat das Querelement 10' als für den Betrachter sichtbaren Mittelabschnitt ein Hohlprofil 20 aus transparentem Kunststoff. Die obere Kante des Hohlprofils 20 verläuft bündig mit der des Korpus 7.4 shows a perspective partial view of a storage container according to a second embodiment of the invention. The
Die Figs. 5 und 6 zeigen jeweils einen Längsschnitt durch den Kopfbereich bzw. einen Querschnitt des Querelements 10'. Der Mittelabschnitt des Querelements 10' ist durch ein nach unten offenes U-Profil 21 gebildet, das an den Längsenden jeweils durch eine zwei Zapfen 22 tragende Platte 23 verschlossen ist. Die Zapfen 22 sind in Bohrungen 17 eines Kopfstücks 16 eingesteckt, das mit dem in Fig. 2 und 3 gezeigten identisch ist. Zum Montieren des Querelements 10' genügt es daher, jeweils zwei Kopfstücke 16 auf die Zapfen 22 aufzustecken, und dann das derart vervollständigte Querelement 10' von hinten in die Aussparungen 15 des Korpus 7 einzudrücken.The Figs. 5 and 6 each show a longitudinal section through the head region or a cross section of the transverse element 10 '. The central portion of the transverse element 10 'is formed by a downwardly open U-profile 21, which is closed at the longitudinal ends in each case by a
Alternativ ist es natürlich auch möglich, einen Kopfabschnitt mit geeigneten Rastzungen einteilig an den Mittelabschnitt anzuformen oder fest mit diesem zu verbinden.Alternatively, it is of course also possible to form a head portion with suitable locking tongues integrally to the central portion or to connect firmly with this.
Das unten offene U-Profil 21 kann auch durch ein Hohlprofil mit geschlossenem Querschnitt, insbesondere ein Rechteckprofil ersetzt werden.The below open U-profile 21 can also be replaced by a hollow profile with a closed cross section, in particular a rectangular profile.
Fig. 7 zeigt eine perspektivische Teilansicht eines Querelements 10" gemäß einer dritten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung. Bei dieser Ausgestaltung kann der Mittelabschnitt 24 des Querelements 10" ebenfalls als ein Hohlprofil aufgefasst werden, wobei allerdings im Gegensatz zum Ausführungsbeispiel der Figs. 4 bis 6 die seitlichen Flanken des Profils nach unten verlängert und in ihrem Umriss der Form der Ausschnitts 9 angepasst sind, so dass sie ein Schild bilden, das den Ausschnitt 9 komplett verschließt.7 shows a partial perspective view of a
In der Fig. 7 ist eine Ausgestaltung mit zwei kongruenten Flanken gezeigt. Alternativ möglich ist, dass nur die äußere der zwei Flanken sich über die ganze Fläche des Ausschnitts erstreckt und die zum Behälterinneren gelegene Flanke kleiner oder ganz fortgelassen ist.FIG. 7 shows an embodiment with two congruent flanks. Alternatively, it is possible that only the outer of the two flanks extends over the entire surface of the cutout and the edge located to the container interior is smaller or omitted.
