Description

Abstellfach für eine Kühlgerätetür Storage compartment for a refrigerator door
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Abstellfach zur Anbringung an einer Tür eines Kühlgerätes. Derartige Abstellfächer, insbesondere solche, die im unteren Bereich der Innenseite der Tür montiert werden, werden im wesentlichen genutzt zur Lagerung von Getränkeflaschen und anderen hochformatigen Kühlgutbehältern.The present invention relates to a storage compartment for attachment to a door of a refrigerator. Storage compartments of this type, in particular those which are mounted in the lower region of the inside of the door, are essentially used for storing beverage bottles and other vertical format refrigerated goods containers.
Wenn die Tür des Kühlgerätes unvorsichtig geöffnet wird, besteht bei solchen hochformatigen Behältern die Gefahr des Umkippens. Zwar lässt sich durch eine hinreichende Wandhöhe der im allgemeinen kastenartig geformten Abstellfächer ein Herausfallen der Behälter verhindern, es bleibt aber die Gefahr, dass ein einmal ins Taumeln geratener Behälter innerhalb des Abstellfaches zur Seite kippt und umschlägt.If the door of the refrigerator is opened carelessly, there is a risk of tipping over with such vertical containers. A sufficient wall height of the generally box-shaped storage compartments can prevent the containers from falling out, but the danger remains that a container that has once tumbled tilts to the side and turns over within the storage compartment.
Um dieser Gefahr entgegenzuwirken, ist aus DE-GM 86 32 853 bekannt, auf eine Seitenwand des Abstellfaches Hohlkörper in unterschiedlicher Zahl aufzustecken, die ins Innere des Faches eingreifen und so dessen Tiefe reduzieren. Durch Anpassen der Fachtiefe an den Durchmesser eines darin gelagerten Behälters kann verhindert werden, dass dieser ins Kippen gerät. Die Anwendung dieser Hohlkörper ist jedoch für den Benutzer umständlich und daher allenfalls für Kühlgeräte interessant, die starken Erschütterungen ausgesetzt sind, z.B. weil sie an Bord eines Fahrzeuges mitgeführt werden.In order to counteract this danger, it is known from DE-GM 86 32 853 to place different numbers of hollow bodies on a side wall of the storage compartment, which engage in the interior of the compartment and thus reduce its depth. By adapting the compartment depth to the diameter of a container stored in it, it can be prevented from tipping over. However, the use of these hollow bodies is cumbersome for the user and therefore only of interest for cooling devices which are exposed to strong vibrations, e.g. because they are carried on board a vehicle.
Aus DE-GM 90 14 463 und DE-GM 85 11 568 ist jeweils ein Abstellfach für eine Tür eines Kühlgerätes bekannt, die gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 einen an einer Längswand des Abstellfaches befestigbaren und sich in Tiefenrichtung des Körpers erstreckenden Fachteiler aufweisen. Ein solcher Fachteiler kann zwar nicht verhindern, dass bei unvorsichtigem Öffnen der Kältegerätetür ein Behälter im Abstellfach ins Kippen gerät, er kann jedoch, wenn er in geeigneter weise in der Nähe des Behälters platziert ist, ein Umschlagen des Behälters innerhalb des Abstellfaches verhindern.From DE-GM 90 14 463 and DE-GM 85 11 568 a storage compartment for a door of a cooling device is known, which according to the preamble of claim 1 has a fastener which can be fastened to a longitudinal wall of the storage compartment and which extends in the depth direction of the body. Such a compartment divider cannot prevent a container in the storage compartment from tipping over if the refrigerator door is opened carelessly, but if it is suitably placed near the container, it can prevent the container from turning inside the storage compartment.
Ein solcher Fachteiler ermöglicht jedoch nicht die platzsparende Unterbringung von Kühlgütern, die in vertikaler Stellung keine oder nur geringe Standfestigkeit aufweisen, wie z.B. von Tuben. Um deren Lagerung zu ermöglichen, wird in DE-GM 90 14 463 die Verwendung von Einsatzkästen empfohlen, die an einer Seitenwand des Türabstellfaches eingehängt werden und sich über einen geringen Teil von dessen Tiefe erstrecken. Diese Einsatzkästen führen jedoch zu einer ineffizienten Platzausnutzung in dem Abstellfach, da die Resttiefe des Abstellfaches, die zwischen einem eingehängten Behälter und der gegenüberliegenden Seitenwand des Abstellfaches verbleibt, für die meisten Behälterformate zu gering ist und daher ungenutzt bleibt.However, such a compartment divider does not allow the space-saving storage of refrigerated goods that have little or no stability in the vertical position, such as tubes. To enable their storage, the DE-GM 90 14 463 The use of insert boxes is recommended, which are hung on a side wall of the door storage compartment and extend over a small part of its depth. However, these insert boxes lead to inefficient use of space in the storage compartment, since the remaining depth of the storage compartment, which remains between a suspended container and the opposite side wall of the storage compartment, is too small for most container formats and therefore remains unused.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist, ein Abstellfach für eine Tür eines Kältegerätes anzugeben, das gleichzeitig eine gute Standfestigkeit hochformatiger Behälter unterschiedlicher Größen und eine hocheffiziente Platzausnutzung erlaubt.The object of the present invention is to provide a storage compartment for a door of a refrigeration device which at the same time allows good stability of high-format containers of different sizes and a highly efficient use of space.
Die Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, dass der Fachteiler selbst dazu genutzt wird, an ihm eine Kammer zur Aufnahme von Kleinteilen unterzubringen.The task is solved in that the compartment divider itself is used to accommodate a chamber for holding small parts.
Der Fachteiler erstreckt sich vorzugsweise im wesentlichen über die gesamte Tiefe des Abstellfaches, so dass auch das Kleinteilefach sich im wesentlichen über diese Tiefe erstrecken kann.The compartment divider preferably extends essentially over the entire depth of the storage compartment, so that the small parts compartment can also extend essentially over this depth.
Die Ausdehnung des Fachteilers ist in der Tiefenrichtung des Abstellfaches vorzugsweise größer als in dessen Breitenrichtung, denn Kühlgüter mit einer Standfläche, die gleich der Tiefe des Abstellfaches oder größer ist, müssen zur Erhöhung ihrer Standfestigkeit nicht in einem separaten Kleinteilefach untergebracht werden.The extension of the compartment divider is preferably greater in the depth direction of the storage compartment than in its width direction, because refrigerated goods with a footprint that is equal to or greater than the depth of the storage compartment do not have to be accommodated in a separate small parts compartment to increase their stability.
Vorzugsweise weist das Kleinteilefach einen offenen Boden, auf so dass sich keine Verunreinigungen darin sammeln können. In dem Kleinteilefach platzierte Teile werden entweder nur von dessen Wänden oder von dessen Wänden und dem Boden des Abstellfaches getragen.The small parts compartment preferably has an open bottom so that no contaminants can collect therein. Parts placed in the small parts compartment are either carried only by its walls or by its walls and the bottom of the storage compartment.
Um eine platzsparende Aufbewahrung des Fachteilers bei Nichtgebrauch zu ermöglichen, ist seine Höhe vorzugsweise geringer als die des Abstellfaches.In order to allow space-saving storage of the compartment divider when not in use, its height is preferably less than that of the storage compartment.
Zur Befestigung an der Längswand des Abstellfaches kann der Fachteiler mit einem über die Längswand stülpbaren Reiter versehen sein. Um einen festen Sitz des Fachteilers an der Längswand zu garantieren, ist vorzugsweise an einer Innenfläche des Reiters wenigstens eine vertikale Rippe ausgebildet. Diese kann die Seitenwand, wenn sie eben ist, fest einklemmen, wodurch die Position des Fachteilers im Abstellfach stufenlos wählbar ist. Die Seitenwand des Abstellfaches kann aber auch mit einer Mehrzahl von zu der wenigstens einen Rippe komplementären Nuten versehen sein, in die die Rippe eingreifen kann.For attachment to the longitudinal wall of the storage compartment, the compartment divider can be provided with a tab that can be slipped over the longitudinal wall. In order to guarantee a firm fit of the compartment divider on the longitudinal wall, is preferably on an inner surface of the tab formed at least one vertical rib. This can firmly clamp the side wall when it is level, which means that the position of the compartment divider in the storage compartment can be infinitely varied. However, the side wall of the storage compartment can also be provided with a plurality of grooves which are complementary to the at least one rib and into which the rib can engage.
Um seitlich vom Fachteiler aufgestellte Gegenstände zusätzlich gegen Umkippen zu sichern, können an den Außenwänden des Fachteilers mehrere vertikale Rippen vorgesehen sein.In order to additionally secure objects set up on the side of the compartment divider against tipping over, several vertical ribs can be provided on the outer walls of the compartment divider.

Figur 7 eine Draufsicht auf ein Abstellfach mit einem Fachteiler gemäß einer dritten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung.Figure 7 is a plan view of a storage compartment with a compartment divider according to a third embodiment of the invention.
Eine in Figur 1 vereinfacht dargestellte, mit 1 bezeichnete Kühlschranktür, die wie üblich mit einer an ihrem Innenrand angeordneten Magnetdichtung 2 ausgestattet ist, weist an ihrer Innenseite 3 in Randnähe vorspringende vertikale Holme 4 auf. Am unteren Randbereich der Kühlschranktür 1 ist zwischen den zwei Holmen 4 ein kastenartiges Türabstellfach 5 angeordnet, dessen Breite dem Abstand der zwei Holme 4 entspricht. Weitere, schmalere Türabstellfächer 6 sind im oberen Bereich der Tür 1 jeweils zwischen einem der Holme 4 und einem zusätzlichen, kürzeren Holm 7 aufgehängt, der sich über die Mitte der Innenseite 3 erstreckt.A refrigerator door, shown in simplified form in FIG. 1 and designated as 1, which, as usual, is equipped with a magnetic seal 2 arranged on its inner edge, has vertical bars 4 protruding on its inner side 3 near the edge. At the bottom A box-like door storage compartment 5, the width of which corresponds to the distance between the two bars 4, is arranged between the two bars 4 at the edge area of the refrigerator door 1. Further, narrower door storage compartments 6 are each suspended in the upper area of door 1 between one of the spars 4 and an additional, shorter spar 7, which extends over the center of the inside 3.
Das Türabstellfach 5 dient in erster Linie zur Aufbewahrung von Flaschen und anderen hochformatigen Kühlgutbehältern. Um einerseits deren Stand zu sichern und andererseits das Fach 5 auch für die platzsparende Lagerung kleinerer Gegenstände, insbesondere von Tuben, nutzbar zu machen, ist an einer Seitenwand des Faches 5 ein Fachteiler 8 aufgehängt, dessen Anordnung in der Figur 2 besser zu erkennen ist, die eine Draufsicht auf das Türabstellfach 5 zeigt.The door storage compartment 5 is primarily used for storing bottles and other vertical refrigerated goods containers. In order on the one hand to secure their position and on the other hand to make the compartment 5 usable for the space-saving storage of smaller objects, in particular tubes, a compartment divider 8 is suspended from a side wall of the compartment 5, the arrangement of which can be seen better in FIG. 2, which shows a plan view of the door storage compartment 5.
Der Fachteiler 8 ist im wesentlichen aufgebaut aus einem vierseitigen Rahmen mit zwei kurzen Seitenwänden 9, 10 und zwei langen Seitenwänden 11 , die eine Kammer 17 umgeben. Die kurzen Seitenwände 9 sind jeweils Längswänden 12, 13 des Türabstellfaches 5 zugewandt, und die langen Seitenwände 11 erstrecken sich über den überwiegenden Teil der Tiefe, hier etwa 80 %, des Türabstellfaches 5. An die Seitenwand 9 ist ein Reiter 14 angeformt, der in einen Längsschlitz 15 der Seitenwand 12 eingreift und an dieser reibschlüssig gehalten ist. Die Gestalt des Reiters 14 ist in Verbindung mit einem zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel in den Figuren 4, 5 genauer dargestellt.The compartment divider 8 is essentially constructed from a four-sided frame with two short side walls 9, 10 and two long side walls 11 which surround a chamber 17. The short side walls 9 each face longitudinal walls 12, 13 of the door storage compartment 5, and the long side walls 11 extend over the major part of the depth, here approximately 80%, of the door storage compartment 5. A rider 14 is formed on the side wall 9, which in a longitudinal slot 15 of the side wall 12 engages and is held on this frictionally. The shape of the tab 14 is shown in more detail in connection with a second embodiment in Figures 4, 5.
Figur 3 zeigt eine Draufsicht auf einen Fachteiler 8 gemäß diesem zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel. Der aus den Seitenwänden 9, 10, 11 gebildete Rahmen dieses Fachteilers 8 ist nahezu, aber nicht exakt, quadratisch. Die zwei längeren Seitenwände 11 tragen an ihren Außenseiten eine Mehrzahl flacher Rippen 16, die vorgesehen sind, um die Reibung zwischen einem (nicht dargestellten) außerhalb des Fachteilers 8 im Türabstellfach aufgestellten, vom Fachteiler 8 eingeklemmten Behälter und der Seitenwand 11 zu vergrößern und so den Behälter zusätzlich gegen Kippen zu sichern.Figure 3 shows a plan view of a compartment divider 8 according to this second embodiment. The frame of this compartment divider 8 formed from the side walls 9, 10, 11 is almost, but not exactly, square. The two longer side walls 11 carry on their outer sides a plurality of flat ribs 16 which are provided in order to increase the friction between a container (not shown) set up outside the compartment divider 8 in the door storage compartment and clamped by the compartment divider 8 and the side wall 11 and thus the Secure containers additionally against tipping.
Figur 4 zeigt einen vertikalen Schnitt durch den Fachteiler der Figur 3 entlang der Linie IV- IV aus Figur 3. In dieser Figur ist zu erkennen, dass der Reiter 14 im wesentlichen die Gestalt eines langgestreckten Hakens mit einer sich in geringem Abstand von der Seitenwand 9 parallel zu dieser erstreckenden Zunge hat. An der der Seitenwand 9 zugewandten Fläche der Zunge erstreckt sich über deren gesamte Länge eine Rippe 19. Die Kammer 17 ist am Boden offen. Die Höhe des Fachteilers 8 entspricht etwa der Hälfte bis zwei Dritteln der Höhe des Türabstellfachs 5.FIG. 4 shows a vertical section through the compartment divider of FIG. 3 along the line IV-IV from FIG. 3. In this figure it can be seen that the rider 14 essentially has the shape of an elongated hook with a short distance from the side wall 9 parallel to this extending tongue. On the side wall 9 facing surface of the tongue extends over its entire length a rib 19. The chamber 17 is open at the bottom. The height of the compartment divider 8 corresponds to approximately half to two thirds of the height of the door storage compartment 5.
Figur 6 zeigt einen vergrößerten horizontalen Schnitt durch den mit VI markierten Bereich der Figur 3, der die Seitenwand 9, die Zunge sowie die Rippe 19 zeigt. Eine zweite Rippe 19 ist an der Zunge symmetrisch zur Ebene IV-IV vorgesehen.FIG. 6 shows an enlarged horizontal section through the region of FIG. 3 marked with VI, which shows the side wall 9, the tongue and the rib 19. A second rib 19 is provided on the tongue symmetrically to the plane IV-IV.
Zweck der zwei Rippen 19 ist, einerseits einen festen, in Breitenrichtung des Türabstellfaches 5 durch darin gelagerte Gegenstände nicht verschiebbaren Sitz des Fachteilers 8 zu gewährleisten, andererseits aber ein leichtes Abziehen und Aufstecken des Fachteilers 8 auf die Seitenwand 12 in vertikaler Richtung zu ermöglichen. Die Seitenwand 12 kann zu diesem Zweck wie in Fig.2 gezeigt eben oder komplementär zu den Rippen mit Nuten versehen bzw. geriffelt sein. Der Schlitz 15 kann auch entfallen; dann muss die Zunge an der Außenfläche der Wand 12, z. B. in einen zwischen dieser Außenwand und der Türinnenfläche 3 vorhandenen Spalt, eingreifen.The purpose of the two ribs 19 is, on the one hand, to ensure a firm fit of the compartment divider 8, which cannot be displaced in the width direction of the door storage compartment 5 by objects stored therein, but on the other hand to allow the compartment divider 8 to be removed and plugged onto the side wall 12 in the vertical direction. For this purpose, the side wall 12 can, as shown in FIG. 2, be provided with grooves or be grooved to complement the ribs. The slot 15 can also be omitted; then the tongue on the outer surface of the wall 12, e.g. B. engage in a gap between this outer wall and the inner door surface 3.
Figur 7 zeigt ein drittes Ausführungsbeispiel eines erfindungemäßen Türabstellfaches, das sich von dem in Figur 2 gezeigten durch die Form der langen Seitenwände 11 des Fachteilers 8 unterscheidet. Diese sind beim Ausführungsbeispiel der Figur 7 kreisbogenförmig mit einem Durchmesser, der in etwa der Tiefe des Türabstellfaches 5 entspricht. Diese Ausgestaltung beansprucht nur wenig Platz zwischen zwei in dem Fach abgestellten großen runden Gegenständen wie etwa Flaschen, und ermöglicht gleichzeitig die platzsparende, weil vertikale Aufbewahrung eines einzelnen schmalen Gegenstandes oder von zwei Gegenständen von eher rundem Querschnitt, z.B. von zwei Tuben, die jeweils in Tiefenrichtung vor bzw. hinter der mittigen Engstelle 18 in die Kammer 17 eingesteckt werden können. FIG. 7 shows a third exemplary embodiment of a door storage compartment according to the invention, which differs from that shown in FIG. 2 by the shape of the long side walls 11 of the compartment divider 8. In the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 7, these are in the form of a circular arc with a diameter which corresponds approximately to the depth of the door storage compartment 5. This configuration takes up little space between two large round objects, such as bottles, placed in the compartment, and at the same time enables the space-saving because vertical storage of a single narrow object or two objects of a rather round cross-section, e.g. of two tubes, each of which can be inserted into the chamber 17 in the depth direction in front of or behind the central constriction 18.
