Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a refrigerator such as a freezer, a fridge-freezer or the like with a cold room, in which at least one receptacle is accessible through a hinged flap.
  • next drawer-like storage compartments for frozen food which are generally located in the lower part of the cold room, closable by flaps compartments because the contents of a drawer-like compartment is visible only from above, which in high-lying subjects with Difficulties associated with the content of a closed compartment by a flap but also from the beginning.
  • flap surface when relocating and storing refrigerated or frozen goods as a temporary storage space available, it makes sense to limit the freedom of movement of the flap opening so that the open flap strikes in a horizontal position.
  • a tether made of plastic has been proposed, which is fastened with a first retaining element on the flap and with a second retaining element on a wall surrounding the flap of the cold room, with the flap closed, a relaxed, U-shaped configuration with a curved region surrounded by two straight legs and is stretched by opening the flap, wherein the tether is fully straightened straight when the flap reaches the horizontal stop position.
  • tethers prove to be susceptible to wear; in particular, after prolonged use, they tend to break in their curved area.
  • Object of the present invention is to provide a refrigeration device in the cold room, a receiving compartment is accessible via a flap whose pivoting freedom is limited by a tether in which the life of the tether is extended.
  • the object is achieved in that the tether in a relaxed state has a constant over its entire length between the two Garelmenten radius of curvature.
  • This radius of curvature can be finite; In this case, distributed over the entire length of the bending strip, which acts on the stretched when the flap open tether, instead of, as in the known construction, on only a part thereof.
  • the radius of curvature of the tether in the relaxed state is infinite, that is, the tether is straight in the relaxed state. Consequently, when the flap is open and the tether is loaded by the weight of the flap and possibly temporarily stored refrigerated goods, it is not simultaneously stressed by deformation, which further contributes to extending the life.
  • the tether is on the one hand slightly pivotable attached to the receiving compartment and on the other hand not or difficult hinged to the flap.
  • the tension of the tether should be large enough to cause rotation of its attached to the flap end.
  • Fig. 1 shows a simplified schematic representation of a trained as a household appliance freezer 10 with a heat-insulating door 11 and a heat-insulating housing 12, which has an outer lining 13, a heat-insulating layer 14 produced by foaming and an inner panel 15 produced by chipless shaping of a plastic board.
  • This is provided at the door-side end portions of its two side walls 16 formed by deep drawing, approximately vertically superimposed blind hole-like receptacles 17 and serves for lining a accessible via the door 11 freezer compartment 18.
  • the freezer compartment 18 is arranged by an evaporator system 19 with evenly spaced one above the other , Essentially horizontally extending evaporator storage 20 cooled.
  • the freezer compartment is divided into superimposed cold compartments 21, of which the lower-lying are equipped for storage of frozen food with drawer-like receptacles 22, while the two higher cold storage compartments 21 on their door 11 facing the front through a further down explained in more detail, can be closed about a horizontal axis pivotable flap 30.
  • Each side wall 16 are each two of the receptacles 17 at the level of each of the upper compartments 21.
  • the horizontal pivot axis is formed in the present embodiment by two axially equal to each other opposite bearing pin 23, which with a holding part, not shown in the deeper d he two blind holes 17 recordings the two side walls 16 are fixed.
  • retaining bolts 24 are pinned with their frictionally engaged with the receptacles 17 holding part 25 in the higher, blind hole-like receptacles.
  • Fig. 2 has to limit the insertion depth of the holding parts 25 in the receptacles 17 of the retaining pin 24 a stop ring 26, to which a bearing portion 27 connects, which is closed at its the stop ring 26 opposite end by a retaining bead 28.
  • the retaining bolt 24 comprises a locking portion 29, which is provided for holding an already mentioned above, serving to close the overhead cold compartments 21, substantially cup-shaped flap 30 is made of plastic injection molding.
  • the flap 30 is provided on its side walls 31 with edge open to the freezer compartment 18 out, provided with an undercut receptacle 32, in which the locking portion 29 is capable of dipping the flap 30 in its closed position.
  • the flap 30 is pivotable about a horizontal axis of rotation which is formed by the arranged on the side walls 16 bearing pin 23, which are able to intervene with its not shown bearing portion in a provided on the side walls 31 bearing receptacle 33, which in the form of a along the side walls 31st vertically extending elongated hole is formed.
  • bearing receptacles 33 and the undercut receptacles 32 are on the side walls 31 of the flap 30 each other the same axis opposite through holes 34 (s. Fig. 4 ) intended. These serve to receive one at one of the two free ends of a in Fig.
  • holding strap provided retaining element 36 which is Rowgbar with the through holes 34 in the form of a releasable locking connection.
  • the holding element 36 is integrally connected to the tether 35, for example, made of polyamide in the plastic injection molding process.
  • a bearing lug 37 is formed, which is provided to be rotatably supported on the holding part 25 of the retaining bolt 24 between the stop ring 26 and the retaining bead 28.
  • Each flap 30 is provided at its two side walls 31 each with a tether 35.
  • the relaxed configuration shown is the tether 35 straight; this is also the configuration that it, as in Fig. 1 shown by dashed lines, occupies 30 with the door open.
  • the tether 35 as in Fig. 1 shown drawn through, uniformly curved over its entire length and extends in a circular arc into the interior of the storage compartment 21st
  • the tether 35 is pivotable about its two ends.
  • the latching connection on the side wall 31 is designed so that the tether at this end clamps more firmly than on the retaining bolt 24, the bearing portion 27, the bearing lug 37 engages with little play. In this way it is achieved that when closing the flap 30, the obliquely protruding from the flap 30 orientation, which has the tether 35 with the plate open, at least initially exists, so that the tether is pushed back into the interior of the compartment 21 and not between the side wall 31 of the flap 30 and the opposite side wall 16 of the inner panel 15 can be clamped.
  • the straight tether of the Fig. 3 is identical to both side walls 31 of the flap 30 mountable.
  • the modification shown is the tether 35 is curved evenly in the illustrated relaxed state, but with the door open, as in Fig. 1 shown, just curious.
  • This tether 35 is thus bending-stressed both closed and open flap. Since the bending load is distributed over the entire length of the tether, it leads to no significant material fatigue.
  • the tether is mounted so that the convex side of its curvature with partially open flap 30 facing down. In this way it is ensured that when closing the flap, the tether 35 securely in the in Fig. 1 solid drawn configuration passes and not evade from the stretched configuration upwards.
  • FIG. 7 shows a section of a side wall 31 of the flap.
  • the circular bore 34 is here replaced by two concentric slots 40, through which a respective latching finger 41 of the holding element 36 engages. Since the locking fingers 41 are narrower than the slots 40, the tether 35 on the side wall 31 has a limited pivoting freedom.
  • the tether 35 corresponds to an end position of the pivoting freedom
  • Fig. 7 indicated by a dash-dotted outline of the tether 35
  • the taut with an open flap tether 35 while the dotted outline corresponds to an orientation of the tether with the flap closed.
  • the limited freedom of rotation ensures that even in this closed position, the tether 35 projects obliquely into the interior of the refrigeration compartment 21 from the flap 30 and thus prevents jamming d it catch between the flap 30 and side walls sixteenth
