Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a rack, as is usually mounted on the inside of the door of refrigerators, to accommodate bottles, small parts, etc.
  • a rack is typically substantially box-shaped, with a bottom, a side wall and locking grooves in the side wall which are provided to cooperate with retaining cams formed on uprights projecting from the inside of the door.
  • the heights that these racks can take up in a refrigerator are conventionally predetermined by the position of the holding cams on the bars. These are generally a few centimeters apart in the vertical direction, so that the distance between the racks can only be adjusted in rough steps. If an object to be accommodated in a lower rack is only a few millimeters larger than the distance to the rack above, the latter must be offset by an entire cam distance or, if this is not possible, removed in order to accommodate the object. The result is poor use of the storage space in the refrigerator.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a rack for a refrigeration device, which enables the available storage space to be used economically with a large degree of independence from the dimensions of the objects to be stored.
  • each locking groove of the storage device preferably has parallel side flanks and an upper end which transfers the weight of the storage device to the locking cams of the door. This enables the use of compact spacers.
  • the side flanks of the locking groove could also run upwards towards one another, in which case a spacer with an inverted U-shaped or V-shaped cross-section would be useful.
  • the spacer is loosely inserted into the groove and can be removed from the rack and stored separately when not in use.
  • the spacer can be inserted into the latching groove in a form-fitting and / or non-positive manner perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the latching groove.
  • the groove is preferably widened in the depth direction, and the shape of the spacer is adapted to this cross section of the groove.
  • the spacers are held horizontally displaceably on the side wall of the rack. In this way, they can be moved from a position in which they engage in the groove to a non-engaged position and back as required.
  • the spacers can be rotatably mounted in the side wall about a horizontal axis of rotation. This results in a very space-saving arrangement of the spacers in the side wall.
  • the spacers can be held in their setting positions defining different distances by a catch.
  • the spacers each have a stepped lower edge; this allows the rack to be mounted on the retaining cam at different heights in accordance with one of the steps of the lower edge. This results in a particularly simple handling and manufacture of the spacers, in particular if they are made of injection molded plastic.
  • the spacers are preferably each guided in a slot between an inner and an outer plate of the side wall and in this way protected against damage and dirt.
  • the spacer should expediently have a handling projection protruding from the slot, which enables a user to move the spacer in the longitudinal direction of the slot and thereby insert it into the latching groove or pull it out of it.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a door rack according to a first
  • Embodiment of the invention together with a piece of a door inner wall on which the rack is held;
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of an end portion of a rack according to a second embodiment of the invention.
  • Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a rack according to a third
  • Embodiment of the invention with displaceable spacers
  • FIG. 5 shows a spacer for the storage device from FIG. 4.
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a door rack 1 for a refrigerator according to a first embodiment of the invention and a section of an inner wall 2 of a refrigerator door on which the rack 1 is mounted.
  • two parallel vertical bars 3 project into the interior of the device, only one of which is partially shown in the figure.
  • Holding cams 4 arranged at a vertical distance of several centimeters. One of these can be seen in the figure, the rack 1 rests on a second, hidden one.
  • locking grooves 6 are formed to match the retaining cams 4 of the spars 3, of which the spar not shown is shown in the figure is.
  • the locking grooves 6 each have parallel vertical side flanks 7 and an upper end 8, which transfers the weight of the rack 1 to the holding cams 4.
  • a spacer 9 is shown in front of the locking groove 6.
  • the spacer 9 is a solid body made of rubber or another flexible material, which can be frictionally inserted into the locking groove 6 in contact with its upper end 8. If such a spacer 9 is inserted into both locking grooves 6 of the selector 1 e, the rest 1 is in a rest position, which is against the position that it would take without the spacer 9 by the height of the spacer 9 is offset upwards.
  • the distance between the rack 1 and a lower rack can be increased as required by inserting spacers 9 if objects placed in the lower rack require this.
  • the spacers 9 can be provided at different heights in order to implement different height offsets of the rack 1; but it is also possible to use several identical spacers 9 with one another in the locking grooves 6 of the storage 1.
  • FIG. 2 shows a partial section through a further developed modification of the stop 1 from FIG. 1.
  • the latching groove 6 here has a dovetail-shaped cross section, and the cross section of the spacer 9 is complementary to this in a trapezoidal shape.
  • This modified spacer can only be inserted into the locking groove 6 from below, but is better secured against falling out due to its cross-sectional shape.
  • Fig. 3 shows a perspective partial view of a rack 11 according to a second embodiment of the invention.
  • the locking groove 6 has a plurality of lateral bulges 12 in its upper region, and the spacer 19 provided for insertion into the locking groove 16 from the lateral direction has the Form of an elongated bar, the longitudinal ends of which each engage in opposite bulges 12.
  • a single spacer 19 is sufficient to be able to fix the rack 1 at different heights.
  • the section of the latching groove 16 extending below the deepest bulges 12 with straight flanks ensures that the stowage 1 is held in a stable and tilt-proof manner on the holding cams 4 of the inner door wall even in the highest possible installation position.
  • FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of the storage device 21
  • FIG. 5 shows a plan view of one of its spacers 29.
  • the side wall 25 of the storage device 21 is constructed in two layers on the end faces thereof, with an inner plate 27 and an outer plate 28 which are passed through a slot 30 are separated.
  • a locking groove 26 extends through the outer plate 28 to the slot 30, the inner plate 27 is closed.
  • the spacer 29 is essentially constructed from a flat plate 31, on the lower edge of which a plurality of steps 32 are formed, and a slide 33 molded onto the plate.
  • the spacer 29 is held horizontally displaceably in the slot 30. Its position can be adjusted using the slide 33.
  • the spacer 29 can assume a plurality of positions in the slot 30, in each of which one of the steps 32 is visible in the locking groove 26 and supports the rack 21 on a retaining cam of the door. In order to set different levels of the rack 21, it is therefore sufficient to move the spacer 29 such that a desired step 32 is exposed in the locking groove 26. This is shown in detail in FIGS. 6A to 6C for a spacer with two steps 32.
  • FIG. 6A An upper rack 21a and a lower rack 21b are shown here, which are mounted one above the other on a spar 3.
  • the spacer 29 is pulled out of the locking groove in both shutters, and the shutters 21a, 21b are each supported with the upper ends 8 of their locking grooves on the retaining cams.
  • 6B and 6C show the upper spacer 21a with one of the steps 32 of its spacer 29 resting on the holding cam 4.
  • the spacer 29 can also be adjusted in the same way in the lower rack 21b in order to reduce the distance between the two racks, if this is possible or is necessary because of a rack (not shown) which is even lower.
  • the spacers 29 bear the entire weight of the rack 21 and any objects placed therein, it must be ensured that they cannot escape upwards out of their slot 30.
  • One possibility is to form a downwardly exposed longitudinal shoulder in the slot 30, on which projecting locking lugs 34 bent out from the plate 31 can be supported, transverse to its main surface.
  • these locking lugs 34 are located at the ends of elastic tongues 35, which are separated from the plate by two short gaps 36 in the lateral direction.
  • the spacer can be inserted into the slot 30 from above, the locking lugs 34 being pressed elastically into alignment with the plate 31 when passing through the slot, and then returning to their bent-out position in which they rest on the underside of the shoulder.
  • slot 30 is made so short or the spacer 29 so long that, in all positions that the spacer 29 can assume, both upper corners 37 of its plate 31 lie outside the slot and are thus closed Support the top of the side wall.
  • the slot 30 is open at the bottom so that the plate 31 can be inserted from below, and the slide 33 is snapped onto the latching portion of the plate 31 protruding from the slot 30 after the plate 31 has been inserted.
  • the inner walls of the slot 30 and the spacer 29 can be provided with detachably interlocking latching means or, as in the enlarged section of FIG 5, a small projection 38 is formed on a corner of each step 32, which engages behind the locking cams 4 and thus prevents the spacer 29 from slipping sideways.
