Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Kühl- und/oder Gefriergerät mit einem Korpus sowie mit einer Tür, die mittels einer Lagerung relativ zum Korpus des Gerätes verschwenkbar ist, gemäß dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1. Ein derartiges Gerät ist bereits aus US-A-2003/0151339 bekannt.The invention relates to a refrigerator and / or freezer with a body and with a door which is pivotable by means of a bearing relative to the body of the device, according to the preamble of claim 1. Such a device is already off US-A-2003/0151339 known.

Ein Problem bei Kühl- und/oder Gefriergerät dieser Art besteht darin, dass die Tür relativ zum Korpus des Gerätes genau ausgerichtet werden muß. Eine derartige Ausrichtung ist erforderlich, um sicherzustellen, dass die Türdichtung in der geschlossenen Position der Tür in der gewünschten Weise dichtend anliegt. Des weiteren gewährleistet eine korrekte Ausrichtung, dass die Tür im geöffneten Zustand gehalten wird und sich nicht von selbst weiter auf oder zu bewegt. Schließlich ist aus optischen Gründen eine exakte Ausrichtung der Tür relativ zum Korpus erwünscht. Bei bekannten Kühl- und/oder Gefriergeräten müssen zu diesem Zweck mindestens zwei Schrauben der unteren Türlagerung gelöst werden und anschließend muß die Gerätetür, deren Gewicht auf der unteren Lagerung liegt, ausgerichtet werden. Im Anschluss daran werden die Schrauben wieder festgezogen. Das auf diese Weise erfolgende Ausrichten der Gerätetür ist vergleichsweise beschwerlich und umständlich.A problem with refrigerators and / or freezers of this type is that the door must be accurately aligned relative to the body of the appliance. Such alignment is required to ensure that the door seal sealingly engages in the closed position of the door as desired. Furthermore, proper alignment ensures that the door is kept open and does not move on or off by itself. Finally, for optical reasons, an exact alignment of the door relative to the body is desired. In known refrigerators and / or freezers for this purpose at least two screws of the lower door storage must be solved and then the door, whose weight is on the lower storage, must be aligned. Afterwards the screws are tightened again. The Aligning the door in this way is relatively cumbersome and cumbersome.

Es ist daher die Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Kühl- und/oder Gefriergerät der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend weiterzubilden, dass die Ausrichtung der Gerätetür auf einfache Weise möglich ist.It is therefore an object of the invention to develop a refrigerator and / or freezer of the type mentioned in such a way that the orientation of the door is easily possible.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Kühl- und/oder Gefriergerät mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Danach ist vorgesehen, dass die Lagerung einen mit dem Korpus des Gerätes in Verbindung stehenden Lagerbock, einen Lagerbolzen sowie ein Einstellelement, vorzugsweise eine Einstellplatte aufweist, wobei der Lagerbock wenigstens eine Ausnehmung oder Bohrung aufweist, durch die sich der Lagerbolzen erstreckt und auf deren Randbereich der Kopf des Lagerbolzens aufliegt, wobei das Einstellelement eine Bohrung mit einem Innengewinde aufweist und derart angeordnet ist, dass der Lagerbock zwischen dem Kopf des Lagerbolzens und dem Einstellelement aufgenommen ist, wobei der Lagerbolzen ein Außengewinde aufweist, das mit dem Innengewinde des Einstellelementes in Eingriff steht und wobei die Ausnehmung oder Bohrung des Lagerbocks derart ausgeführt ist, dass das Einstellelement mit Lagerbolzen bei gelöstem Lagerbolzen relativ zu dem Lagerbock verschiebbar ist. Mittels der erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung ist es möglich, die Gerätetür ohne größeren Kraft- und Zeitaufwand in der Senkrechten einzurichten. Es ist möglich, die Tür des Kühl- oder Gefriergerätes nach dem Lösen einer Schraube, d.h. des Lagerbolzens, auszurichten bzw. zu verstellen und - sobald die gewünschte Position erreicht ist - durch Anziehen der den Lagerbolzen bildenden Schraube zu fixieren. Zur Verstellung der Türausrichtung ist der Lagerbolzen nur soweit zu lösen bzw. herauszudrehen, dass das Einstellelement und somit auch der Lagerbolzen seitlich verschoben werden kann. Ein vollständiges Herausdrehen des Lagerbolzens ist nicht erforderlich.This object is achieved by a refrigerator and / or freezer with the features of claim 1. Thereafter, it is provided that the bearing has a bearing block connected to the body of the device, a bearing pin and an adjusting element, preferably an adjusting plate, wherein the bearing block has at least one recess or bore through which the bearing pin extends and on the edge region of the Head of the bearing pin rests, wherein the adjusting element has a bore with an internal thread and is arranged such that the bearing block between the head of the bearing pin and the adjusting element is received, wherein the bearing pin has an external thread, which is in engagement with the internal thread of the adjusting and wherein the recess or bore of the bearing block is designed such that the adjusting element is displaceable with bearing pin with dissolved bearing pin relative to the bearing block. By means of the arrangement according to the invention, it is possible to set up the door without much effort and time in the vertical. It is possible to open the door of the refrigerator or freezer after loosening a screw, i. of the bearing pin to align or adjust and - as soon as the desired position is reached - by tightening the bearing bolt forming screw to fix. To adjust the door alignment of the bearing pin is only to be solved or turned out so far that the adjustment and thus the bearing pin can be moved laterally. A complete unscrewing of the bearing pin is not required.

Bei dem Einstellelement kann es sich um eine Platte handeln. Jedoch sind auch beliebige davon abweichende Formen des Einstellelementes denkbar und von der Erfindung umfasst.The adjusting element may be a plate. However, any deviating forms of the adjusting element are conceivable and encompassed by the invention.

In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist der Lagerbock an der zu dem Einstellelement gewandten Innenseite eine Verzahnung oder Aufrauhung auf, an der das Einstellelement anliegt. Die Verzahnung bzw. Aufrauhung bewirkt, dass aufgrund der erhöhten Reibung zwischen Lagerbock und Einstellelement ein unerwünschtes Verschieben des Einstellelementes relativ zum Lagerbock verhindert wird. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Einstellelement an seiner zum Lagerbock gewandten Seite eine Verzahnung oder Aufrauhung aufweist, an der der Lagerbock anliegt. Ein unerwünschtes Verschieben wird selbstverständlich besonders wirksam dann verhindert, wenn sowohl der Lagerbock auf seiner zum Einstellelement gerichteten Seite als auch das Einstellelement auf seiner zum Lagerbock gerichteten Seite eine Verzahnung bzw. Aufrauhung aufweist. Vorzugsweise greift die Verzahnung des Einstellelementes in die des Lagerbocks ein.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the bearing block on the side facing the adjusting element on a toothing or roughening on which rests the adjusting element. The toothing or roughening causes due to the increased friction between the bearing block and adjusting an undesirable displacement of the adjusting element is prevented relative to the bearing block. Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the adjusting element has on its side facing the bearing block a toothing or roughening on which the bearing block rests. Of course, an undesirable displacement is particularly effectively prevented if both the bearing block on its side facing the adjusting element and the adjusting element on its side facing the bearing block has a toothing or roughening. Preferably, the toothing of the adjusting element engages in the bearing block.

Weiterhin kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Lagerbock ein, zwei oder mehr als zwei Bohrungen zur Aufnahme des Lagerbolzens aufweist, und dass die eine oder mehreren Bohrungen als Langlöcher ausgeführt sind. Wird der Lagerbolzen in dem Langloch verschoben, führt dies zu einer entsprechenden Änderung der Position des Lagerbolzens und somit auch der Tür relativ zum Korpus des Kühl- bzw. Gefriergerätes. Denkbar ist es, dass zwei derartiger Langlöcher nebeneinander vorgesehen sind, so dass der Lagerbock sowohl bei Türen mit Rechtsanschlag als auch bei Türen mit Linksanschlag verwendet werden kann.Furthermore, it can be provided that the bearing block has one, two or more than two holes for receiving the bearing pin, and that the one or more holes are designed as slots. If the bearing pin is moved in the slot, this leads to a corresponding change in the position of the bearing pin and thus also the door relative to the body of the refrigerator or freezer. It is conceivable that two such slots are provided side by side, so that the bearing block can be used both in doors with right stop as well as doors with left stop.

In bevorzugter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der Lagerbock wenigstens eine Nut aufweist, in die das Einstellelement bzw. die Einstellplatte eingeschoben ist und die eine solche Länge aufweist, dass das Einstellelement relativ zu der Nut und somit zu dem Lagerbock in unterschiedliche Positionen bewegbar ist.In a preferred embodiment of the invention it is provided that the bearing block has at least one groove into which the adjusting element or the adjusting plate is inserted and which has a length such that the adjusting element is movable relative to the groove and thus to the bearing block in different positions ,

Um ein Herausfallen des Einstellelementes aus dem Lagerbock zu verhindern, kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Nutwandungen der Nut zur offenen Seite der Nut derart geneigt sind, dass sich die Nutbreite ausgehend vom Nutgrund zur offenen Seite der Nut verringert. Die Nutwandungen können schräg aufeinander zu verlaufen. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn das Einstellelement zu den Nutwandungen komplementäre, d.h. ebenfalls schräg vorlaufende Seitenwandungen aufweist. Selbstverständlich sind auch davon abweichende Ausführungen von Nut und Einstellelement denkbar.In order to prevent the setting element from falling out of the bearing block, provision can be made for the groove walls of the groove to be open towards the groove are inclined so that the groove width decreases, starting from the groove bottom to the open side of the groove. The groove walls can be inclined towards each other. It is particularly advantageous if the adjusting element has complementary side walls to the groove walls, ie also inclined side walls. Of course, deviating designs of groove and adjustment are conceivable.

Um den Lagerbock sowohl bei Türen mit Rechtsanschlag als auch bei Türen mit Linksanschlag verwenden zu können, kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Lagerbock zwei Nuten aufweist, in die das Einstellelement von der einen oder der anderen Seite des Lagerbockes einschiebbar ist.In order to use the bearing block both doors with right stop as well as doors with left stop, it can be provided that the bearing block has two grooves into which the adjustment of the one or the other side of the bearing block is inserted.

Das Einstellelement weist die Funktion auf, den Lagerbolzen relativ zum Lagerbock an der gewünschten Position zu fixieren. Dazu ist vorgesehen, dass der Lagerbolzen einen Gewindeabschnitt aufweist, der zumindest bereichsweise mit dem Innengewinde des Einstellelementes in Eingriff steht. Eine weitere Funktion des Lagerbolzens besteht darin, die Tür des Gerätes schwenkbar zu lagern. Dafür ist vorgesehen, dass der Lagerbolzen einen weiteren Abschnitt ohne Gewinde aufweist, auf dem die Tür mit einer entsprechenden Ausnehmung bzw. Buchse gelagert ist.The adjusting member has the function to fix the bearing pin relative to the bearing block at the desired position. For this purpose, it is provided that the bearing pin has a threaded portion which is at least partially engaged with the internal thread of the adjusting element. Another function of the bearing pin is to pivot the door of the device. For this purpose, it is provided that the bearing pin has a further section without thread, on which the door is mounted with a corresponding recess or socket.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der Lagerbock L-förmig ausgeführt ist, wobei der eine Schenkel Bohrungen zur Aufnahme von Befestigungsschrauben aufweist, mittels derer der Lagerbock an dem Korpus montiert ist, und wobei der andere Schenkel die wenigstens eine Bohrung zur Aufnahme des Lagerbolzens aufweist. Der Lagerbock ist mit einem seiner Schenkel vorzugsweise frontseitig an dem Korpus des Gerätes montiert. Der Lagerbolzen erstreckt sich vorzugsweise senkrecht durch die Bohrung oder Ausnehmung des anderen Schenkels des Lagerbockes, der sich in bevorzugter Ausgestaltung horizontal von dem Korpus des Gerätes erstreckt.In a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that the bearing block is designed L-shaped, wherein the one leg has bores for receiving fastening screws, by means of which the bearing block is mounted on the body, and wherein the other leg, the at least one bore for receiving the Has bearing pin. The bearing block is preferably mounted with one of its legs on the front of the body of the device. The bearing pin preferably extends perpendicularly through the bore or recess of the other leg of the bearing block, which extends in a preferred embodiment horizontally from the body of the device.

Die Lagerung mit Lagerbock, Lagerbolzen sowie Einstellelement kann sich an der Oberseite und/oder an der Unterseite des Korpus des Gerätes befinden. Besonders vorteilhaft ist eine Anordnung an der Oberseite des Korpus bzw. der Tür. Wird der Lagerbolzen gelöst, verhindert er, dass die Tür nach vorne kippt, da sie von dem Lagerbolzen noch in ihrer Position gehalten wird.The bearing with bearing block, bearing pin and adjusting element can be located at the top and / or at the bottom of the body of the device. Particularly advantageous is an arrangement on the top of the body or the door. If the bearing pin is released, it prevents the door from tilting forward because it is still held in position by the bearing pin.

Der Lagerbock 30 ist im Querschnitt L-förmig ausgeführt, wobei der eine Schenkel 34 Bohrungen 35 aufweist. Diese dienen zur Aufnahme von Befestigungsschrauben, mittels derer der Schenkel 34 des Lagerbocks 30 an der Frontseite des Korpus 10 des Gerätes montiert wird, wie dies aus Fig. 1 hervorgeht. Der andere Schenkel 34' erstreckt sich rechtwinklig zum Schenkel 34 und erstreckt sich in horizontaler Richtung. Wie dies aus Fig. 1 hervorgeht, fluchtet die Oberseite des horizontalen Schenkels 34' nicht mit der Oberseite des Korpus 10 des Gerätes, sondern steht über diese über. Die Unterseite des horizontalen Schenkels 34' fluchtet in etwa mit der Oberseite des Korpus 10 des Gerätes, so dass auch die sich an die Unterseite des horizontalen Schenkels 34' anschließende Tür 20 mit der Oberseite des Korpus 10 des Gerätes abschließt.The bearing block 30 is designed in cross-section L-shaped, wherein the one leg has 34 holes 35. These serve to receive fastening screws, by means of which the leg 34 of the bearing block 30 is mounted on the front side of the body 10 of the device, as can be seen from Fig. 1 evident. The other leg 34 'extends at right angles to the leg 34 and extends in the horizontal direction. Like this Fig. 1 shows, the top of the horizontal leg 34 'is not flush with the top of the body 10 of the device, but is about this over. The underside of the horizontal leg 34 'is approximately flush with the top of the body 10 of the device, so that the adjoining the underside of the horizontal leg 34' door 20 terminates with the top of the body 10 of the device.

Wie dies aus Fig. 2 und 3 hervorgeht, sind in dem horizontalen Schenkel 34' des Lagerbocks 30 zwei als sich in seitlicher Richtung erstreckende Langlöcher ausgeführte Bohrungen 32 vorgesehen, die nebeneinander angeordnet sind. Je nachdem, ob die Tür mit Rechts- oder Linksanschlag montiert wird, wird eines der Langlöcher, nämlich das zur Außenseite des Gerätes gerichtete Langloch zur Aufnahme des Lagerbolzens genutzt, während das andere freibleibt.Like this FIGS. 2 and 3 As can be seen, in the horizontal leg 34 'of the bearing block 30, two provided as extending in the lateral direction slots holes 32 are provided which are arranged side by side. Depending on whether the door is mounted with right or left stop, one of the slots, namely directed to the outside of the device slot for receiving the bearing pin is used while the other remains free.

Durch die als Langloch ausgeführte Bohrung 32 erstreckt sich die als Lagerbolzen 40 dienende Schraube, die in ihrem zum Schraubenkopf gerichteten Endbereich ein Außengewinde 44 aufweist und die in dem sich daran anschließenden Abschnitt 41' ohne Gewinde ausgeführt ist. Zur Betätigung der Schraube bzw. des Lagerbolzens 40 ist in dessen Kopf eine Aufnahme für ein Werkzeug vorgesehen.By running as an elongated hole bore 32 which serves as a bearing pin 40 screw extending in its direction to the screw head end portion has an external thread 44 and which is performed in the adjoining portion 41 'without thread. For actuating the screw or the bearing pin 40, a receptacle for a tool is provided in the head thereof.

Der Lagerbolzen 40 wird bei einem oberen Türlager von oben durch die Bohrung 32 des Lagerbocks 30 geführt. Der Lagerbolzen 40 sitzt im montierten Zustand mit seinem Kopf auf der Oberseite des horizontalen Schenkels 34' des Lagerbocks 30 bzw. auf dem Randbereich der Bohrung 32 auf. Auf der Unterseite des horizontalen Schenkels 34' des Lagerbocks 30 befinden sich die Nuten 38. In eine der Nuten 38 ist im montierten Zustand des Lagerbocks 30 die Einstellplatte 50 eingeschoben, die eine Bohrung 52 mit Innengewinde 54 aufweist. Das Außengewinde 44 des Lagerbolzens 40 greift in das Innengewinde 54 der Bohrung der Einstellplatte 50 ein.The bearing pin 40 is guided at an upper door bearing from above through the bore 32 of the bearing block 30. The bearing pin 40 sits in the assembled state with its head on the top of the horizontal leg 34 'of the bearing block 30 and on the edge region of the bore 32. On the bottom of the horizontal Leg 34 of the bearing block 30 are the grooves 38. In one of the grooves 38, the adjusting plate 50 is inserted in the mounted state of the bearing block 30, which has a bore 52 with internal thread 54. The external thread 44 of the bearing pin 40 engages in the internal thread 54 of the bore of the adjusting plate 50 a.

Ist der Lagerbolzen 40 mittels der Einstellplatte 50 festgezogen, sind der Lagerbolzen 40, die Einstellplatte 50 und der Lagerbock 30 relativ zueinander nicht verschiebbar und die Tür 20 ist in der gewünschten Position bzw. Ausrichtung fixiert.If the bearing pin 40 is tightened by means of the adjusting plate 50, the bearing pin 40, the adjusting plate 50 and the bearing block 30 are not displaceable relative to each other and the door 20 is fixed in the desired position or orientation.

Um ein unerwünschtes Verrutschen der Einstellplatte 50 mit Lagerbolzen 40 relativ zum Lagerbock 30 zu verhindern, weist die Einstellplatte 50 auf ihrer zum Lagerbock 30 gerichteten Seite eine Verzahnung 56 auf, die sich zu beiden Seiten der Bohrung 52 der Einstellplatte 50 erstreckt, wie dies auch aus Fig. 5 ersichtlich ist. Des Weiteren ist an der zu der Einstellplatte 50 gerichteten Seite des Lagerbocks 30 ebenfalls eine Verzahnung 36 vorgesehen, die sich auf beiden Seiten der Bohrungen 32 des Lagerbocks 30 erstreckt und die mit der Verzahnung 56 der Einstellplatte 50 kämmt. Die Verzahnung 36 des Lagerbocks 30 ist aus Fig. 3 und 4 ersichtlich. Die Verzahnung 56 der Einstellplatte 50 sowie die Verzahnung 36 des Lagerbocks 30 sind derart ausgerichtet, dass der unerwünschten Bewegung der Einstellplatte 50 in der Nut 38 des Lagebocks 30 entgegengewirkt wird, was den Vorteil hat, dass einer unerwünschten Bewegung der Tür 20 nach ihrer Ausrichtung entgegengewirkt werden kann.In order to prevent undesired slippage of the adjusting plate 50 with bearing pin 40 relative to the bearing block 30, the adjustment plate 50 on its side facing the bearing block 30 has a toothing 56 which extends on both sides of the bore 52 of the adjustment plate 50, as well as Fig. 5 is apparent. Furthermore, on the side facing the adjusting plate 50 side of the bearing block 30 also has a toothing 36 is provided which extends on both sides of the bores 32 of the bearing block 30 and which meshes with the toothing 56 of the adjustment plate 50. The toothing 36 of the bearing block 30 is made Fig. 3 and 4 seen. The teeth 56 of the adjusting plate 50 and the teeth 36 of the bearing block 30 are aligned so that the undesired movement of the adjusting plate 50 is counteracted in the groove 38 of the bearing block 30, which has the advantage that an undesirable movement of the door 20 counteracted after their orientation can be.

Wie oben ausgeführt, weist der Lagerbolzen 40 einen Gewindeabschnitt 41 mit Gewinde 44 auf, mittels dessen der Lagerbolzen 40 mit der Einstellplatte 50 zum Zwecke der Fixierung der relativen Position von Lagerbolzen 40 und Lagerbock 30 verschraubt wird, wobei der Lagerbock 30 in diesen Bereich zwischen Lagerbolzen 40 und Einstellplatte 50 aufgenommen ist. Der Lagerbolzen 40 weist einen sich an den Gewindeabschnitt 41 anschließenden Bereich 41' ohne Gewinde auf, der als Lager dient und der in eine entsprechende Bohrung auf der Türoberseite eingreift.As stated above, the bearing pin 40 has a threaded portion 41 with thread 44, by means of which the bearing pin 40 with the adjusting plate 50 for the purpose of fixing the relative position of the bearing pin 40 and bearing block 30 is screwed, the bearing block 30 in this area between bearing pin 40 and adjusting plate 50 is added. The bearing pin 40 has a subsequent to the threaded portion 41 portion 41 'without thread, which serves as a bearing and engages in a corresponding bore on the door top.

Wie dies beispielsweise aus Fig. 2 hervorgeht, weist der Lagerbock 30 zwei nebeneinander angeordnete Bohrungen 32 zur Aufnahme des Lagerbolzens 40 auf. Wie dies aus Fig. 3 hervorgeht, ist jeder der Bohrungen 32 eine Nut 38 zugeordnet, in die die Einstellplatte 50 eingeschoben wird. Eine derartige Ausführung des Lagerbocks 30 hat den Vorteil, dass ein und derselbe Lagerbock sowohl für den Rechtsals auch für den Linksanschlag verwendet werden kann, wobei in beiden Fällen (Rechtsanschlag und Linksanschlag) die zum Außenrand der Tür 20 gerichtete Bohrung 32 und Nut 38 zur Aufnahme des Lagerbolzens 30 sowie der Einstellplatte 50 verwendet wird.Like this for example Fig. 2 shows, the bearing block 30 has two juxtaposed holes 32 for receiving the bearing pin 40. Like this Fig. 3 shows, each of the holes 32 is associated with a groove 38 into which the adjustment plate 50 is inserted. Such an embodiment of the bearing block 30 has the advantage that one and the same bracket can be used for both legal and for the left stop, in both cases (right stop and left stop) directed to the outer edge of the door 20 bore 32 and groove 38 for receiving the bearing pin 30 and the adjusting plate 50 is used.

Das Einrichten der Tür 20 in die gewünschte Lage gestaltet sich wie folgt:The establishment of the door 20 in the desired position is as follows:

Der Lagerbolzen 30 wird soweit herausgedreht, bis die Einstellplatte 50 in der Nut 38 seitlich verschoben werden kann. Ein vollständiges Herausdrehen des Lagerbolzens 30 ist nicht erforderlich. Daraus ergibt sich der Vorteil, dass die Tür 20 nicht nach Vorne kippen kann, da sie vom Lagerbolzen 30 noch in Position gehalten wird.The bearing pin 30 is unscrewed until the adjustment plate 50 can be moved laterally in the groove 38. A complete unscrewing of the bearing pin 30 is not required. This results in the advantage that the door 20 can not tilt forward because it is still held in position by the bearing pin 30.

Die Tür 20 wird senkrecht eingerichtet. Da der Lagerbolzen 30 mit der Einstellplatte 50 mittels des oben genannten Gewindes verbunden ist, bewegen sich beide Teile, d.h. der Lagerbolzen 30 und die Einstellplatte 50 mit der Tür 20 in die richtige Lage.The door 20 is set up vertically. Since the bearing pin 30 is connected to the adjustment plate 50 by means of the above-mentioned thread, both parts, i. the bearing pin 30 and the adjustment plate 50 with the door 20 in the correct position.

Sobald die gewünschte Lage erreicht ist, wird der Lagerbolzen wieder festgezogen.Once the desired position is reached, the bearing pin is tightened again.

Falls ein Türanschlagwechsel (von Rechtsanschlag in Linksanschlag oder umgekehrt) erfolgen soll, muß die Einstellplatte 50 von der anderen Seite, d.h. in die andere Nut 38 des Lagerbockes 30 eingeschoben werden.If a door stop change is to be made (from right stop to left stop or vice versa), the adjustment plate 50 must be moved from the other side, i. be inserted into the other groove 38 of the bearing block 30.
