Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Tür für ein Haushaltsgerät wie etwa einen Kühl- oder Gefrierschrank, eine Spülmaschine, oder dergleichen.The present invention relates to a door for a household appliance such as a refrigerator or freezer, a dishwasher, or the like.

Haushaltsgeräte, die in an sich bekannter Weise in Küchenmöbeln eingebaut sind oder benachbart zu diesen aufgestellt sind, sind häufig an ihrer Frontseite mit einer Dekorplatte versehen, deren Gestaltung derjenigen der Möbeltüren entspricht. Um eine exakt fluchtende Anordnung der Möbeltüren und der Dekorplatten der Türen der Haushaltsgeräte zu erzielen, sind letztere im allgemeinen mehrteilig aufgebaut, aus einer geräteseitigen Platte, die die technischen Funktionen des Verschließens eines Innenraums des Haushaltsgeräts wahrnimmt und in der Regel am Gerät, so wie es vom Hersteller ausgeliefert wird, fertig montiert ist, und der Dekorplatte, die nachträglich bei Aufstellung des Haushaltsgeräts an seinem vorgesehenen Einsatzort mit Hilfe von justierbaren Zwischenstücken an der geräteseitigen Platte montiert wird und im wesentlichen ästhetische Funktion hat. Aus der Notwendigkeit, die Stellung der Dekorplatte in Bezug auf die geräteseitige Platte justieren zu können, ergibt sich, dass zwischen beiden meist ein Spalt vorhanden ist, der ästhetisch unbefriedigend ist, in dem sich Schmutz sammeln kann oder in den sogar kleine Gegenstände hineinfallen können.Household appliances, which are installed in a conventional manner in kitchen furniture or are placed adjacent to these, are often provided on their front with a decorative plate whose design corresponds to that of the furniture doors. In order to achieve a precisely aligned arrangement of the furniture doors and decorative panels of the doors of household appliances, the latter are generally constructed in several parts, from a device-side plate that performs the technical functions of closing an interior of the household appliance and usually on the device, as it Supplied by the manufacturer, is fully assembled, and the decorative plate, which is subsequently mounted when installing the household appliance at its intended location using adjustable spacers on the device-side plate and has essentially aesthetic function. From the need to be able to adjust the position of the decorative plate with respect to the device-side plate, it follows that there is usually a gap between the two, which is aesthetically unsatisfactory in which dirt can accumulate or fall into the even small objects.

GB 2 050 814 A betrifft ein in eine Einbaunische eines Küchen-Hochschrankes oder dgl. einsetzbares Einbaugerät, insbesondere Kühl- oder Gefrierschrank, mit einer Tür und einem an deren Außenseite anbringbaren Türblatt, welches mit einer rechtwinkligen Profilschiene an der Tür befestigt ist. GB 2 050 814 A relates to a built-in appliance, in particular refrigerator or freezer, with a door and an attachable to the outside door leaf, which is fixed with a rectangular profile rail on the door in an installation niche of a kitchen tall cupboard or the like.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist, eine Tür für ein Haushaltsgerät mit Dekorplatte und geräteseitiger Platte zu schaffen, bei der die Nachteile des Spalts vermieden sind.Object of the present invention is to provide a door for a household appliance with decorative plate and device-side plate, in which the disadvantages of the gap are avoided.

Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Tür der oben angegebenen Art, bei der der Spalt randseitig durch ein Abdeckprofil verschlossen ist.The object is achieved by a door of the type specified above, in which the gap is closed at the edge by a cover.

Ein solches Abdeckprofil kann mit geringen Kosten durch Extrudieren aus Kunststoff geformt werden.Such a cover profile can be formed at low cost by extruding plastic.

Zu seiner Befestigung verfügt das Abdeckprofil erfindungsgemäß über eine in den Spalt eingreifende Feder. Diese und ggf. weitere mit ihr zusammenwirkende Befestigungsmittel sind, wenn das Abdeckprofil montiert ist, im Inneren des Spalts verborgen und stören daher nicht das äußere Erscheinungsbild der Tür.
Da eine Möglichkeit zur Justage der Platte gegeneinander nicht nur in der Ebene der Platten, sondern auch senkrecht dazu gegeben sein sollte, sind die den Spalt begrenzenden Oberflächen der zwei Platten allein nicht geeignet, um die Feder des Abdeckprofils zu klemmen. Daher ist erfindungsgemäß im Spalt ein starres Element angeordnet, das eine die Feder klemmende Nut begrenzt.To its attachment, the cover has according to the invention via an engaging in the gap spring. These and possibly other cooperating with them fastening means are hidden when the cover is mounted inside the gap and therefore do not disturb the appearance of the door.
Since one way to adjust the plate against each other not only in the plane of the plates, but also should be perpendicular thereto, the gap limiting surfaces of the two plates alone are not suitable to clamp the spring of the cover. Therefore, according to the invention, a rigid element is arranged in the gap, which delimits a groove clamping the spring.

Um ein Entweichen der Feder aus der Nut zu erschweren, ist das starre Element vorzugsweise mit in die Nut vorspringenden Krallen versehen.In order to make it difficult for the spring to escape from the groove, the rigid element is preferably provided with claws projecting into the groove.

Bei dem starren Element kann es sich insbesondere um einen Befestigungswinkel handeln, von dessen zwei Schenkeln der erste an einer Rückseite der Dekorplatte gehalten ist und der zweite an einer Flanke der geräteseitigen Platte befestigt ist, um die zwei Platten miteinander zu verbinden.In particular, the rigid element may be a mounting bracket, of which two legs the first is held on a rear side of the decorative panel and the second is fixed on a side of the panel of the appliance to connect the two panels together.

Diese zwei Schenkel können durch einen von der Dekorplatte beabstandeten Zwischenabschnitt verbunden sein, der zusammen mit der Dekorplatte besagte Nut begrenzt.These two legs may be connected by an intermediate portion spaced from the decorative plate, which defines together with the decorative plate said groove.

Ein besonders einfacher Zusammenbau der Tür wird ermöglicht, wenn der erste Schenkel des Befestigungswinkels in dem Spalt zwischen der Dekorplatte und einem an der Dekorplatte befestigten Bügel eingesteckt ist.A particularly simple assembly of the door is made possible when the first leg of the mounting bracket is inserted in the gap between the decorative plate and a bracket attached to the decorative plate.

Alternativ kann von einem Rand des ersten Schenkels eine Lasche abgekröpft sein, die zusammen mit der Dekorplatte die Nut begrenzt.Alternatively it can be bent from an edge of the first leg, a tab which limits the groove together with the decorative plate.

Vorzugsweise erstreckt sich das Abdeckprofil nicht nur über den Spalt, sondern auch über den zweiten Schenkel des Befestigungswinkels, so dass auch dieser bei montiertem Abdeckprofil unsichtbar ist.Preferably, the cover extends not only over the gap, but also over the second leg of the mounting bracket, so that even this is invisible when mounted cover.

Fig. 1 zeigt in perspektivischer Ansicht den oberen Frontbereich eines Haushaltskältegeräts, an dem die erfindungsgemäße Tür eingesetzt wird. Zu sehen ist eine geräteseitige Türplatte 1, die über ein Mehrgelenkscharnier 2 mit einem Korpus 3 des Kältegeräts verbunden ist. Die geräteseitige Türplatte 1 ist in herkömmlicher Weise als ein mit einem aufgeschäumten Polymermaterial ausgefüllter Hohlkörper realisiert. In der Oberkante der Türplatte 1 befinden sich zwei Paare von Sackgewinden. Eine Justierschiene 4 hat eine sich im wesentlichen über die gesamte Breite der geräteseitigen Türplatte 1 erstreckende Grundplatte 5 und zwei von der Grundplatte rechtwinklig abgebogene Laschen 6. In die Laschen 6 sind jeweils zwei auf die Sackgewinde ausgerichtete Löcher gestanzt. In einem Sackgewinde jedes Paars befindet sich eine Spezialschraube, deren Kopf eine Platte, die in der Fig. unter der Lasche 6 verborgen ist und größer ist als das Loch , so dass die Lasche auf ihm abgestützt ist, und einen von der Platte axial absehenden Stift, der das Loch spielhaltig durchsetzt und es ermöglicht, die Spezialschraube unter der Lasche 6 zu drehen und so die Höhe der Justierschiene bzw. der daran befestigten Dekorplatte zu verstellen. In dem anderen Sackgewinde befindet sich eine Schraube 7, die die Lasche 6 gegen die Platte gepresst hält und so die Justierschiene 4 an der geräteseitigen Türplatte 1 immobilisiert. Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of the upper front region of a household refrigerator, on which the door according to the invention is used. To see is a device-side door panel 1, which is connected via a multi-joint hinge 2 with a body 3 of the refrigerator. The device-side door panel 1 is realized in a conventional manner as a filled with a foamed polymer material hollow body. In the upper edge of the door panel 1 are two pairs of blind threads. An adjusting rail 4 has a substantially over the entire width of the device-side door panel 1 extending base plate 5 and two of the base plate bent at right angles tabs 6. In the tabs 6 are each aligned two aligned on the blind holes. In a blind thread of each pair is a special screw, the head of which is a plate hidden in the figure below the flap 6 and larger than the hole so that the flap is supported on it and a pin axially remote from the plate , which passes through the hole playful and makes it possible to rotate the special screw under the tab 6 and so to adjust the height of the adjusting rail or the decor panel attached thereto. Located in the other bag thread a screw 7, which holds the tab 6 pressed against the plate and thus immobilizes the adjusting rail 4 on the device-side door panel 1.

Die Grundplatte 5 ist durch eine flache eingeprägte Rippe 9 versteift, von der sich Ausläufer bis in die Lasche 6 hinein erstrecken. An zwei Stellen 10 reicht die Rippe bis zur Oberkante der Grundplatte 5; hier ist in die Rippe jeweils eine Kralle 11 eingeprägt, deren Funktion später erläutert wird.The base plate 5 is stiffened by a flat embossed rib 9, extend from the spur into the tab 6 in. At two points 10, the rib extends to the upper edge of the base plate 5; Here, a claw 11 is stamped into the rib, whose function will be explained later.

An den seitlichen Kanten der Grundplatte 5, benachbart zu den seitlichen Flanken 12 der geräteseitigen Türplatte 1, sind aus der Ebene der Grundplatte 5 zwei Laschen 13 zur Türplatte 1 hin ausgekröpft; auch sie sind mit eingeprägten Krallen 11 versehen.At the lateral edges of the base plate 5, adjacent to the lateral flanks 12 of the device-side door panel 1, 5 two tabs 13 are cranked to the door panel 1 out of the plane of the base plate; They are also provided with embossed claws 11.

Eine Mehrzahl von Löchern 14 der Grundplatte 5 ist vorgesehen, um mit Hilfe von hindurch gesteckten Schrauben eine Dekorplatte 15 (siehe Fig. 2 und 4) an der Grundplatte anliegend zu befestigen. Wenn dies geschehen ist, bilden die Stellen 10 bzw. die Laschen 13 jeweils zusammen mit der gegenüberliegenden Dekorplatte 15 eine zu den Flanken der geräteseitigen Türplatte 1 hin offene Stecknut, in welche die Krallen 11 vorspringen.A plurality of holes 14 of the base plate 5 is provided to secure a decorative plate 15 (see FIGS Fig. 2 and 4 ) to be attached to the base plate fitting. When this is done, the points 10 and the tabs 13 together with the opposite decorative plate 15 form an open to the flanks of the appliance-side door panel 1 plug-in groove, in which the claws 11 project.

An den seitlichen Flanken 12 der geräteseitigen Türplatte 1 sind mehrere jeweils wie die Justierschiene 4 einteilig aus einem kräftigen Blech geformte Montagewinkel 16 mit Hilfe einer Schraube 7 befestigt, die durch ein Langloch in einem ersten Schenkel 17 des Winkels 16 hindurch in ein Sackgewinde an der Flanke 12 eingreift. Ein zweiter Schenkel 18 des Winkels 16 ist durch Verschieben des Langlochs an der Schraube 7 in einem justierbaren Abstand von der geräteseitigen Türplatte 1 festlegbar. Zwischen den zwei Schenkeln 17, 18 ist an dem Montagewinkel 16 ein gegenüber dem zweiten Schenkel 18 parallel versetzter Zwischenabschnitt 19 geformt, von dem wiederum zwei Krallen 11 vorspringen.On the lateral flanks 12 of the device-side door panel 1 are several like the Justierschiene 4 integrally formed from a solid sheet mounting bracket 16 by means of a screw 7, which passes through a slot in a first leg 17 of the angle 16 into a blind thread on the flank 12 engages. A second leg 18 of the angle 16 can be fixed by moving the slot on the screw 7 at an adjustable distance from the device-side door panel 1. Between the two legs 17, 18 is formed on the mounting bracket 16 opposite to the second leg 18 offset parallel intermediate portion 19, projecting from the two claws 11 again.

Ein in der Fig. hinter dem zweiten Schenkel 18 dargestellter, ebenfalls aus Blech geformter Bügel 20 ist nicht mit dem Montagewinkel 16 fest verbunden, sondern ist vorgesehen, um an der Dekorplatte 15 mit Hilfe zweier Schrauben 21 befestigt zu werden, um so zwischen einem Mittelabschnitt des Bügels 20 und der Dekorplatte 14 einen Schlitz auszubilden, in den der zweite Schenkel 18 aus seitlicher Richtung eingesteckt werden kann. Eine in den zweiten Schenkel 18 geprägte Sicke 22 erleichtert die Herstellung eines Reibschlusses zwischen dem zweiten Schenkel 18 und dem Schlitz beim Einführen des Schenkels in diesen.A in Fig. Behind the second leg 18 shown, also formed of sheet metal bracket 20 is not fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 16, but is intended to be attached to the decorative plate 15 by means of two screws 21 so as to be between a central portion the bracket 20 and the decorative plate 14 form a slot into which the second leg 18 are inserted from the lateral direction can. An embossed in the second leg 18 bead 22 facilitates the production of a frictional engagement between the second leg 18 and the slot during insertion of the leg in this.

Fig. 2 zeigt einen Teilschnitt durch die erfindungsgemäße Tür, nun mit der Dekorplatte 15, in Höhe des Montagewinkels 16. Man erkennt, dass der festeren Verankerung wegen das Sackgewinde für die Schraube 7 in der geräteseitigen Türplatte 1 durch einen massiven, in das expandierte Polymermaterial 23 eingelassenen und an der Außenhaut der Türplatte 1 befestigten massiven Kunststoffkörper 24 gebildet ist. Fig. 2 shows that the tighter anchorage because of the sack thread for the screw 7 in the device-side door panel 1 by a solid, embedded in the expanded polymer material 23 and a partial section through the door according to the invention, now with the decorative panel 15 formed on the outer skin of the door panel 1 solid plastic body 24 is formed.

In eine einerseits von dem Zwischenabschnitt 19, andererseits von der Dekorplatte 15 begrenzte Stecknut 25 ist eine Feder 26 eines Kunststoff-Strangprofils 27 eingesteckt und mit Hilfe der in die Stecknut 25 vorspringenden Krallen 11 gehalten. Fig. 3 zeigt einen Abschnitt des Strangprofils 27 in einer perspektivischen Ansicht. Es umfasst einen rechtwinklig an die Feder 26 anschließenden Steg 28 mit einem geradlinigen Abschnitt 29 gleichbleibender Dicke und einem einwärts gekrümmten, nach außen spitz zulaufenden Randabschnitt 30.In a limited on the one hand by the intermediate portion 19, on the other hand by the decorative plate 15 plug-in groove 25, a spring 26 of a plastic extruded profile 27 is inserted and held with the aid of protruding into the slot 25 claws 11. Fig. 3 shows a section of the extruded profile 27 in a perspective view. It comprises a web 28 which adjoins the spring 26 at right angles and has a straight section 29 of constant thickness and an inwardly curved, outwardly tapered edge section 30.

Die Breite des Steges 28 ist geringfügig größer als die des ersten Schenkels 17 des Montagewinkels 16, so dass das Strangprofil 27 sowohl den Montagewinkel 16 und die Schraube 7, als auch einen zwischen der geräteseitigen Türplatte 1 und der Dekorplatte 15 offen gehaltenen Spalt 31 vollständig verbirgt. Infolge der Krümmung des Randabschnitts 30 greift das Strangprofil 27 über den Kopf der Schraube 7 hinweg und berührt jenseits der Schraube 7, nahe der dem Korpus zugewandten Seite der Türplatte 1, deren Flanke 12.The width of the web 28 is slightly larger than that of the first leg 17 of the mounting bracket 16, so that the extruded profile 27 hides both the mounting bracket 16 and the screw 7, as well as an open between the device door panel 1 and the decorative panel 15 gap 31 completely , As a result of the curvature of the edge portion 30, the extruded profile 27 engages over the head of the screw 7 and touches beyond the screw 7, near the side facing the body of the door panel 1, the edge of the 12th

An dem in Fig. 4 gezeigten horizontalen Schnitt entlang der in Fig. 1 durch die Linien IV, IV definierten Ebene erkennt man, dass das Strangprofil 27 in der Nähe seines oberen Endes in der einerseits durch die Lasche 13 der Justierschiene 4 und andererseits durch die Dekorplatte 15 begrenzten Stecknut 32 in gleicher Weise gehalten ist, wie in Fig. 2 dargestellt.At the in Fig. 4 shown horizontal section along the in Fig. 1 Level defined by the lines IV, IV can be seen that the extruded profile 27 is held in the vicinity of its upper end in the one hand by the tab 13 of the adjusting rail 4 and on the other hand by the decorative plate 15 limited insertion groove 32 in the same manner Fig. 2 shown.

Fig. 5 zeigt einen Teilschnitt durch die Tür entlang der in Fig. 1 durch Linien V-V bezeichneten Ebene. Auch hier ist eine Stecknut zwischen den Stellen 10 der Rippe 9 und der Dekorplatte 14 vorhanden, die den Steg 28 des Strangprofils 27 klemmt. Da die Stellen 10 aber jeweils nur eine begrenzte Breite haben, muss auch der Steg 28 seitlich beschnitten sein, um in die Nut eingesteckt werden zu können. Fig. 6 zeigt perspektivisch einen Endabschnitt eines solchen Strangprofils 27 mit seitlich beschnittenem Steg 28. Seitlich von dem an der Stelle 10 einzusteckenden Abschnitt, in Bereichen 33, 34, ist der Steg nicht vollständig weggeschnitten, sondern nur in seiner Breite reduziert, um die Biegesteifigkeit des Strangprofils 27 nicht unnötig zu verringern. An dem in der Fig. obenliegenden Ende 35 des Strangprofils ist eine 45°-Gehrung geschnitten, um einen lückenlosen Anschluss an die sich entlang der seitlichen Flanken 12 erstreckenden Strangprofile zu ermöglichen. Fig. 5 shows a partial section through the door along the in Fig. 1 level indicated by lines VV. Again, a slot between the points 10 of the rib. 9 and the decorative plate 14 is present, which clamps the web 28 of the extruded profile 27. However, since the locations 10 each have only a limited width, the web 28 must also be trimmed laterally in order to be able to be inserted into the groove. Fig. 6 shows in perspective an end portion of such an extruded profile 27 with laterally trimmed web 28. Laterally from the einzusteckenden at the point 10, in areas 33, 34, the web is not completely cut away, but reduced only in its width to the flexural rigidity of the extruded profile 27th not unnecessarily decrease. At the end 35 of the extruded profile, which is at the top in FIG. 1, a 45 ° -cut is cut in order to permit a gap-free connection to the extruded profiles extending along the lateral flanks 12.

Wie oben für die oberen und seitlichen Flanken der Türplatte 1 beschrieben, könnte selbstverständlich auch an deren unterer Flanke ein Strangprofil angeklemmt sein. Dies ist allerdings im allgemeinen nicht erforderlich, da diese Flanke bei Gebrauch des Geräts normalerweise nicht sichtbar ist und hier auch keine Gefahr des Eindringens von Gegenständen in den Spalt 31 besteht.As described above for the top and side flanks of the door panel 1, of course, an extruded profile could also be clamped on the lower edge. However, this is generally not necessary because this edge is not normally visible when using the device and there is no risk of the penetration of objects into the gap 31 here.
