Auf diese Weise läßt sich ein flexibles, modulares System bereitstellen, das abweichend von vorbekannten Kühlgeräten keine fest vorgegebenen, durch einen Boden oder eine Wand getrennte Kompartimente aufweist, sondern aufgrund der Entnehmbarkeit der Trennplatte entsprechend variabel ausgeführt ist.This object is achieved by a partition plate having the features of claim 1. Thereafter, a partition plate for a refrigerator, in particular for a refrigerator is provided, wherein the partition plate is formed by a plate and connected to the plate trough-shaped base body which is designed such that by the base body and the plate, a gap is formed in the an insulating medium is located, wherein the base body has one or more projections on which the plate rests and wherein the plate is a glass plate. In this way, a flexible, modular system can be provided, which unlike previously known refrigerators has no fixed, separated by a bottom or a wall compartments, but is carried out according to variability due to the removability of the partition plate.

Die Trennplatte kann eine obere und eine untere Fläche aufweisen, zwischen denen sich ein Isolationsmedium befindet. Die Wahl des Isolationsmediums ist weitgehend beliebig. Denkbar ist beispielsweise, dass das Isolationsmedium durch Luft oder auch durch eine Ausschäumung des zwischen den genannten Flächen befindlichen Bereiches gebildet wird.The partition plate may have an upper and a lower surface between which an insulation medium is located. The choice of isolation medium is largely arbitrary. It is conceivable, for example, that the insulation medium is formed by air or by a foaming of the area located between the surfaces mentioned.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Trennplatte durch zwei voneinander z.B. mittels Stegen oder Vorsprüngen beabstandete Platten oder durch eine Platte und einen mit der Platte verbundenen Unterbaukörper gebildet wird, der derart ausgeführt ist, dass durch den Unterbaukörper und die Platte ein Zwischenraum gebildet wird, in dem sich ein Isolationsmedium befindet. Die genannte obere Fläche kann beispielsweise durch die Platte und die untere Fläche durch den mit der Platte verbundenen und sich vorzugsweise auf deren Unterseite erstreckenden Unterbaukörper gebildet werden. In dem Zwischenraum befindet sich vorzugsweise ein Isolationsmedium, das den Wärmedurchgang durch die Trennplatte hemmt. Wie oben ausgeführt, kann der Zwischenraum beispielsweise luftgefüllt oder auch ausgeschäumt sein.In a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that the partition plate is formed by two spaced apart, for example by means of webs or projections plates or by a plate and a plate connected to the base body, which is designed such that formed by the base body and the plate a gap is in which an isolation medium is located. The said upper surface may be formed, for example, by the plate and the lower surface by the base member connected to the plate and preferably extending on the underside thereof.

Figur 1 zeigt die erfindungsgemäße Trennplatte 10 in einer perspektivischen Darstellung. Die Trennplatte 10 besteht aus einer oben angeordneten Glasplatte 30 und einem sich auf der Unterseite der Glasplatte 30 angeordneten Unterbaukörper 40, zwischen denen sich ein luftgefüllter Zwischenraum befindet. Der Unterbaukörper 40 besteht aus Kunststoff. Die Glasplatte 30 und der Unterbaukörper 40 sind miteinander verklebt. FIG. 1 shows the partition plate 10 according to the invention in a perspective view. The partition plate 10 consists of an upper glass plate 30 and a arranged on the underside of the glass plate 30 base body 40, between which there is an air-filled gap. The base body 40 is made of plastic. The glass plate 30 and the base body 40 are glued together.

Sowohl die Platte 30 als auch der Unterbaukörper 40 sind im Querschnitt rechtekkig ausgeführt und weisen eine Breite auf, die in etwa der Breite des Innenraums eines Kühlgerätes entspricht. Die beim Öffnen des Kühlgeräts sichtbare Kante der Trennplatte 10 wird durch eine aufgesteckte Leiste 50 gebildet, wie dies weiter unten noch näher erläutert wird.Both the plate 30 and the base body 40 are executed in rectangular cross-section and have a width which corresponds approximately to the width of the interior of a refrigerator. The visible on opening the refrigerator edge of the partition plate 10 is formed by a plugged bar 50, as will be explained in more detail below.

Figur 2 zeigt die Trennplatte 10 gemäß Figur 1 in einer Schnittdarstellung. Aus dieser ist ersichtlich, dass der Unterbaukörper 40 einen sich parallel zu der Glasplatte 30 erstreckenden Boden 42 aufweist, von dem sich vertikal Vorsprünge 44 erstrekken, die als Leisten ausgeführt sind. Wie aus Figur 2 ersichtlich, sind die Vorsprünge 44 in ihrem oberen Bereich abgewinkelt. Der abgewinkelte Abschnitt der Vorsprünge 44 bildet die Auflagefläche für die Glasplatte 30. Zwischen der Glasplatte 30 und dem Unterbaukörper 40 wird der Zwischenraum 20 zur Aufnahme des Isolationsmediums, vorzugsweise Luft gebildet. Wie weiter aus Figur 2 ersichtlich, sind die Vorsprünge 44 nicht unmittelbar am Rand des Bodens 42 angeordnet, sondern weisen gegenüber dem Rand des Bodens 42 einen Abstand auf. FIG. 2 shows the partition plate 10 according to FIG. 1 in a sectional view. From this it can be seen that the base body 40 has a parallel to the glass plate 30 extending bottom 42 from which vertical projections 44 extend, which are designed as strips. How out FIG. 2 As can be seen, the projections 44 are angled in their upper region. The angled portion of the projections 44 forms the support surface for the glass plate 30. Between the glass plate 30 and the base body 40 of the intermediate space 20 for receiving the insulating medium, preferably air is formed. How farther FIG. 2 can be seen, the projections 44 are not disposed directly on the edge of the bottom 42, but have a relation to the edge of the bottom 42 at a distance.

Darüber hinaus sind Vorsprünge 45 vorgesehen, die sich parallel zu den aus Figur 2 ersichtlichen Vorsprüngen 44 erstrecken und die zur Versteifung des Unterbaukörpers 40 dienen. Die Vorsprünge 45 weisen eine geringere Höhe auf als die Vorsprünge 44, so dass zwischen den Vorsprüngen 45 und der Unterseite der Glasplatte 30 ein Abstand verbleibt.In addition, projections 45 are provided which extend parallel to the FIG. 2 visible projections 44 and serve to stiffen the base body 40. The projections 45 have a lower height than the projections 44, so that between the projections 45 and the underside of the glass plate 30 remains a distance.

Figur 3 zeigt einen Teilbereich der Trennplatte 10 und verdeutlicht, dass die Vorsprünge 44 gegenüber dem Rand des Bodens 42 des Unterbaukörpers 40 zurückversetzt sind. Wie aus Figur 3 weiter ersichtlich, wird die vordere Kante des Unterbaukörpers 40 durch eine Kante bzw. Leiste 44' gebildet, deren Unterkante mit der Unterseite des Bodens 42 abschließt, so dass der Boden 42 stumpf an die Leiste 44' anschließt. Auf ihrer Oberseite steht die Leiste 44' geringfügig über die Vorsprünge 44 über, die die Auflagefläche für die Glasplatte 30 bilden. Zwischen der Oberkante der Vorsprünge 44 und der Oberkante der Leiste 44' wird somit eine Stufe gebildet, an der die Glasplatte 30 anliegt. Bei einer derartigen Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Glasplatte 30 mit der Oberkante der Leiste 44' abschließt. FIG. 3 shows a portion of the partition plate 10 and illustrates that the projections 44 set back relative to the edge of the bottom 42 of the base body 40 are. How out FIG. 3 As can further be seen, the front edge of the base body 40 is formed by an edge or bar 44 'whose bottom edge is flush with the underside of the bottom 42, so that the bottom 42 is butted to the bar 44'. On its upper side, the strip 44 'projects slightly beyond the projections 44, which form the support surface for the glass plate 30. Between the upper edge of the projections 44 and the upper edge of the strip 44 'thus a step is formed, against which the glass plate 30 is applied. In such an embodiment of the invention can be provided that the glass plate 30 terminates with the upper edge of the bar 44 '.

Selbstverständlich sind auch davon abweichende Ausführungsformen denkbar. Denkbar ist beispielsweise, dass die Oberkante der Leiste 44' mit der Oberkante der Vorsprünge 44 abschließt und dass die Glasplatte 30 auf der Oberkante der Leiste 44' aufliegt.Of course, deviating embodiments are also conceivable. It is conceivable, for example, that the upper edge of the strip 44 'terminates with the upper edge of the projections 44 and that the glass plate 30 rests on the upper edge of the strip 44'.

Die Anordnung der Vorsprünge 44 sowie der Leiste 44' ist ferner aus Figur 4 ersichtlich, die den Unterbaukörper 40 ohne Platte 30 in einer perspektivischen Darstellung zeigt.The arrangement of the projections 44 and the bar 44 'is also made FIG. 4 can be seen, showing the base body 40 without plate 30 in a perspective view.

Wie aus Figur 4 weiter ersichtlich, sind neben den die Auflage bildenden und U-förmig angeordneten Vorsprüngen 44 drei weitere Vorsprünge 45 vorgesehen, die sich zwischen den Schenkeln des U-förmigen Bereiches befinden und die sich über die gesamte Tiefe des Unterbaukörpers 40 erstrecken. Die Vorsprünge 45 dienen zur Erhöhung der Stabilität des Unterbaukörpers 40.How out FIG. 4 further seen, in addition to the support forming and U-shaped projections 44, three further projections 45 are provided, which are located between the legs of the U-shaped region and extending over the entire depth of the base body 40. The projections 45 serve to increase the stability of the base body 40.

Figur 5 zeigt in einer perspektivischen Darstellung die erfindungsgemäße, horizontal in dem Kühlgerät angeordnete Trennplatte 10 mit Glasplatte 30 und Unterbaukörper 40, dessen vordere Kante durch die Leiste 44' gebildet wird. Figur 5 zeigt ferner die Leiste 50 im nicht montierten Zustand. Die Leiste 50 besteht vorzugsweise aus Metall, beispielsweise aus Edelstahl. Die Leiste 50 im aufgesteckten Zustand ist aus Figur 6 ersichtlich. Diese Figur zeigt die erfindungsgemäße entnehmbare Trennplatte 10, deren vorderer Abschluß durch die Leiste 50 gebildet wird. Die Trennplatte 10 trennt aufgrund ihrer wärmeisolierenden Eigenschaften zwei mit unterschiedlicher Temperatur betriebene Kompartimente des Kühlgerätes und ist in der dargestellten Ausführungsform zur Erhöhung der Variabilität aus dem Kühlgerät entnehmbar ausgeführt. FIG. 5 shows a perspective view of the invention arranged horizontally in the refrigerator separating plate 10 with glass plate 30 and base body 40, the front edge of which is formed by the bar 44 '. FIG. 5 also shows the bar 50 in the unmounted state. The strip 50 is preferably made of metal, for example stainless steel. The bar 50 in the plugged state is off FIG. 6 seen. This figure shows the removable separating plate 10 according to the invention, the front end of which is formed by the strip 50. The Separating plate 10 separates due to their heat insulating properties, two operated at different temperature compartments of the refrigerator and is designed to be removable in the illustrated embodiment to increase the variability of the refrigerator.
