Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Tür für ein Haushaltsgerät, insbesondere für einen Kühl- oder Gefrierschrank, mit einer Öffnungsbegrenzung, die einen maximalen Schwenkwinkel festlegt, um den das Türblatt aus der geschlossenen, am Korpus des Gehäuses anliegenden Stellung herausgeschwenkt werden kann.The present invention relates to a door for a household appliance, in particular for a refrigerator or freezer, with an opening limit, which defines a maximum pivot angle by which the door leaf can be swung out of the closed, applied to the body of the housing position.

Einfache für die Aufhängung einer Haushaltsgerätetür verwendete Scharniere haben im allgemeinen einen Scharnierbolzen, der von oben oder unten in eine Lagerhülse des Türblatts eingreift und so eine Schwenkachse des Türblatts festlegt, und einen Tragarm, über den der Scharnierbolzen fest mit dem Korpus verbunden ist. Dieser Arm ist am fertig montierten Haushaltsgerät von außen sichtbar, was als störend empfunden wird.Simple hinges used for the suspension of a household appliance door generally have a hinge pin which engages from above or below in a bearing sleeve of the door leaf and thus defines a pivot axis of the door leaf, and a support arm, via which the hinge pin is fixedly connected to the body. This arm is visible on the fully assembled household appliance from the outside, which is distracting.

Es wäre zwar an sich denkbar, ein solches Scharnier hinter einem fest mit dem Türblatt zusammenhängenden Gehäuse zu verbergen, doch würde ein solches Gehäuse die Bewegungsfreiheit der Tür beschränken. D.h., wenn die Tür zu weit geöffnet wird, stoßen der Tragarm und das ihn verbergende Gehäuse zusammen, und das Gehäuse läuft Gefahr, durch den Zusammenstoß beschädigt oder zerstört zu werden.Although it would be conceivable to hide such a hinge behind a fixed to the door leaf housing, but such a housing would restrict the freedom of movement of the door. That is, when the door is opened too wide, the support arm and housing obstructing it collide, and the housing is in danger of being damaged or destroyed by the collision.

Es ist bekannt, den maximalen Schwenkwinkel eines Türblatts, eines Truhendeckels oder dergleichen durch Vorrichtungen wie etwa eine Schnur oder eine Kette zu begrenzen, die am Türblatt und an einem dem Türblatt gegenüberliegenden Rahmen in einem Abstand von der Schwenkachse befestigt ist und in der maximal geöffneten Stellung der Tür straff gespannt ist. Aus dem Möbelbau ist auch eine Öffnungsbegrenzung mit Hilfe einer Stange bekannt, von der ein Ende am Türblatt und das andere an einem Gleitstein angelenkt ist, der an einer am Türrahmen angebrachten Schiene gleitbeweglich ist. Sowohl die Kette als auch die Stange stören im geöffneten Zustand den Zugriff auf das Innere eines Geräte- oder Möbelkorpus, an dem die Tür montiert ist.It is known to limit the maximum pivoting angle of a door leaf, a chimney cover or the like by means such as a cord or chain which is fixed to the door leaf and a frame opposite the door leaf at a distance from the pivot axis and in the maximum open position the door is taut. From the furniture is also known an opening limitation by means of a rod, one end of which is articulated on the door leaf and the other on a sliding block which is slidable on a rail mounted on the door frame. Both the chain and the rod interfere in the open state access to the interior of a device or furniture body to which the door is mounted.

Insbesondere auf dem Gebiet der Einbau-Haushaltsgeräte ist es bekannt, Mehrgelenkscharniere zu verwenden, deren aneinander angelenkte Arme konstruktionsbedingt nur eine begrenzte Winkelbewegungsfreiheit haben. Derartige Mehrgelenkscharniere sind durch ihren notwendigerweise komplizierten Aufbau kostspielig, und sie beanspruchen eine beträchtliche Einbautiefe, deren Bereitstellung insbesondere bei Haushaltsgeräten in Standbauweise problematisch sein kann.In particular, in the field of built-in home appliances, it is known to use multi-joint hinges whose hinged together arms by design have only a limited angular freedom. Such multi-joint hinges are expensive by their necessarily complicated structure, and they claim a considerable installation depth, the provision of which can be problematic especially in household appliances in stand construction.

US-A-3 531 824 offenbart ein Kältegerät mit einem Türblatt und einem Scharnier zum Anlenken des Türblatts an einem Korpus des Kältegerätes, wobei eine nach unten gerichtete Flanke oder Vorsprung 19 an einer Platte 14 sowie eine Schulter 20 an einer äußeren, seitlichen Kante eines Lagerarms 6 zusammenwirkende Anschlagsmittel bereitstellen, um eine Öffnungsbewegung der Tür zu begrenzen. U.S.-A-3,531,824 discloses a refrigerator having a door leaf and a hinge for hinging the door leaf to a body of the refrigerator, wherein a downwardly directed flank or projection 19 on a plate 14 and a shoulder 20 on an outer, lateral edge of a bearing arm 6 cooperating stop means provide to limit an opening movement of the door.

DE 42 03 117 A1 offenbart ein Kältegerät mit einem Türblatt und einem Scharnier zum Anlenken des Türblatts an einem Korpus des Kältegerätes. DE 42 03 117 A1 discloses a refrigerator with a door leaf and a hinge for hinging the door leaf to a body of the refrigerator.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung ist, eine betriebssichere öffnungsbegrenzte Tür für ein Haushaltsgerät mit einem einfachen Scharnieraufbau zu schaffen.The object of the invention is to provide a reliable opening-limited door for a household appliance with a simple hinge structure.

Die Aufgabe wird durch eine Tür gemäß Anspruch 1 gelost. Der Öffnungsbegrenzungskörper kann mit wenig Kosten- und Materialaufwand belastbar gefertigt werden, so dass er in der Lage ist, die beim Anstoßen an den Tragarm auftretenden Kräfte in das Türblatt einzuleiten, ohne dieses zu gefährden.The object is achieved by a door according to claim 1. The opening limiting body can be made resiliently with little cost and material, so that he is able to initiate the forces occurring when abutting the arm in the door leaf without jeopardizing this.

Der erste und der zweite Abschnitt stehen von entgegengesetzten Seiten der Grundplatte ab. Der erste Abschnitt greift in einen an der Schmalseite des Türblatts gebildeten Schlitz ein, um die Anschlagkräfte des Türblatts einzuleiten.The first and second sections are from opposite sides of the base plate. The first section engages a slot formed on the narrow side of the door leaf to initiate the impact forces of the door leaf.

Der Eingriff des ersten Abschnitts in den Schlitz des Türblatts erlaubt es, die bei einem Anschlagen der Tür an die Öffnungsbegrenzung zwischen dem Tragarm und dem zweiten Abschnitt auftretenden Kräfte, die beträchtlich sein können, auf einer großen Fläche verteilt in das Türblatt einzuleiten und so eine Überbeanspruchung des Türblatts, die zu einer Beschädigung führen könnte, zu verhindern.The engagement of the first section in the slot of the door panel allows, when a door abuts the opening boundary between the support arm and the second Section occurring forces, which may be considerable, spread over a large area in the door leaf and thus prevent overstressing the door panel, which could lead to damage.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist, wenn der Öffnungsbegrenzungskörper an dem Scharnierbolzen angreift, denn dies erlaubt es, die beim Anschlagen des ersten Abschnitts an den Tragarm auf den ersten Abschnitt ausgeübte Kraft umzulenken und eine resultierende Kraft über den zweiten Abschnitt in das Türblatt einzuleiten, wobei die Richtung der resultierenden Kraft an die evtl. richtungsabhängige Belastbarkeit des Türblatts angepasst ist. Der Abstand des zweiten Abschnitts von der Achse ist vorteilhafterweise kleiner als der des ersten Abschnitts von der Achse, um unter Ausnutzung des Hebelgesetzes den Betrag der über den zweiten Abschnitt des Öffnungsbegrenzungskörpers in das Türblatt eingeleiteten Kraft gering zu machen.It is particularly advantageous if the opening limiting body acts on the hinge pin, because this makes it possible to deflect the force exerted on the first arm to the first portion when striking the first portion and to induce a resultant force on the second portion in the door leaf, wherein the direction resulting force is adapted to the possibly directional load capacity of the door panel. Advantageously, the distance of the second portion from the axis is less than that of the first portion from the axis to make small the amount of force introduced into the door leaf via the second portion of the orifice restricting body utilizing the lever law.

Um die Achse des Türblatts als Drehmittelpunkt für die Hebel des Öffnungsbegrenzungskörpers festzulegen, durchsetzt vorteilhafterweise der Scharnierbolzen eine Bohrung des Öffnungsbegrenzungskörpers.To set the axis of the door leaf as a center of rotation for the lever of the opening limiting body, advantageously passes through the hinge pin a bore of the opening limiting body.

Der Öffnungsbegrenzungskörper umfasst eine an der Schmalseite des Türblatts anliegende Grundplatte, von welcher der erste und der zweite Abschnitt abstehen.The opening-limiting body comprises a base plate resting against the narrow side of the door leaf, from which the first and the second section protrude.

Dieser Öffnungsbegrenzungskörper kann einfach und preiswert aus einem ersten Flachmaterialzuschnitt, insbesondere aus einem kräftigen Blech, geformt sein.This opening limiting body can be formed simply and inexpensively from a first flat material blank, in particular from a strong sheet metal.

Auch der Tragarm ist vorzugsweise aus einem Flachmaterialzuschnitt geformt. Um eine hohe Tragfähigkeit zu erreichen, ist dieser zweite Flachmaterialzuschnitt vorzugsweise mit einer parallel zur Schwenkachse der Tür ausgerichteten Hauptoberfläche ausgerichtet.Also, the support arm is preferably formed from a flat material blank. In order to achieve a high load-bearing capacity, this second flat material blank is preferably aligned with a main surface oriented parallel to the pivot axis of the door.

Um die Hülse des Scharniers zu bilden, kann ein Ende des zweiten Zuschnitts rundgebogen sein.To form the sleeve of the hinge, one end of the second blank may be rounded.

In einem Schnitt senkrecht zu der Achse hat der Tragarm vorzugsweise eine Ausnehmung, in die der zweite Abschnitt eingreift und an deren Rand er in der öffnungsbegrenzten Stellung anstößt.In a section perpendicular to the axis of the support arm preferably has a recess into which the second portion engages and at the edge of which it abuts in the opening-limited position.

Die Ausnehmung kann insbesondere erhalten sein, indem der Zuschnitt des Tragarms um sie herum geformt ist.The recess may in particular be obtained by shaping the blank of the support arm around it.

Wenn das Türblatt in an sich bekannter Weise ein Mittelstück und obere und untere Abschlussstücke umfasst, die einen Hohlraum des Mittelstücks verschließen, ist der Schlitz vorzugsweise an wenigstens einem der Abschlussstücke gebildet.If the door leaf in a conventional manner comprises a central piece and upper and lower end pieces which close a cavity of the center piece, the slot is preferably formed on at least one of the end pieces.

Diese Abschlussstücke können insbesondere aus Kunststoff spritzgeformt sein.These end pieces can be injection molded, in particular made of plastic.

Das Scharnier kann bei der erfindungsgemäßen Tür verborgen sein, indem der Scharnierbolzen in einer zur Rückseite des Türblatts hin offenen Aussparung aufgenommen ist.The hinge may be hidden in the door according to the invention by the hinge pin is received in a recess open towards the back of the door leaf.

Dies erlaubt es insbesondere, eine Front des Kältegeräts zu schaffen, die vollständig durch das Türblatt gebildet ist, ohne über die Oberkante des Türblatts hinweggreifende Teile.This allows in particular to provide a front of the refrigerator, which is completely formed by the door leaf, without over the top edge of the door cross-reaching parts.

Ein Scharnier, das Korpus 1 und Türblatt 2 miteinander verbindet und die Achse 3 festlegt, ist jeweils zwischen dem oberen bzw. unteren Abschlussstück 5, 6 und dem Korpus 1 verborgen.
Fig. 2 zeigt den Kühlschrank der Fig. 1 bei geöffneter Tür. Ein Stück des dem Türblatt 2 zugewandten vorderen Rahmens 9 des Korpus 1 liegt hier frei, und der Vorsprung 8 ist deutlich zu erkennen. Das Scharnier ist auch hier weitestgehend verborgen, lediglich eine an dem Rahmen 9 anliegende Spitze eines Scharnierarms 10 ist zu sehen.A hinge connecting the body 1 and the door leaf 2 and fixing the axis 3 is concealed between the upper and lower end pieces 5, 6 and the body 1, respectively.
Fig. 2 shows the fridge the Fig. 1 with the door open. A piece of the door leaf 2 facing the front frame 9 of the body 1 is exposed here, and the projection 8 can be clearly seen. The hinge is also largely hidden, only a voltage applied to the frame 9 tip of a hinge arm 10 can be seen.

Fig. 3 zeigt eine auseinandergezogene perspektivische Ansicht einer Ecke des Korpus 1 und des Scharnierarms 10. Der Arm 10 ist aus einem hochkant orientierten Streifen kräftigen Blechs geformt und durch zwei in etwa rechte Winkel 11 in drei Abschnitte, einen an dem vorderen Rahmen 9 zu montierenden ersten Endabschnitt 12, einen parallel zu dem Endabschnitt 12 in einem Abstand von dem Rahmen 9 verlaufenden zweiten Endabschnitt 13 und einen Verbindungsabschnitt 14 gegliedert, der die Endabschnitte 12, 13 miteinander verbindet. Der Endabschnitt 13 ist an seinem freien Ende längsgeschlitzt, und Zungen oberhalb und unterhalb des Schlitzes 15 sind zu einer Hülse 16 aufgerollt. Fig. 3 shows an exploded perspective view of a corner of the body 1 and the hinge arm 10. The arm 10 is formed from an upright strip of strong sheet and formed by two approximately right angles 11 in three sections, to be mounted on the front frame 9 first end portion 12th , a parallel to the end portion 12 at a distance from the frame 9 extending second end portion 13 and a connecting portion 14 which connects the end portions 12, 13 together. The end portion 13 is longitudinally slotted at its free end, and tongues above and below the slot 15 are rolled up into a sleeve 16.

Eine Vertiefung 17 am vorderen Rahmen nimmt den ersten Endabschnitt 12 formschlüssig auf. Am Boden der Vertiefung 17 sind zwei Gewindelöcher 18 zu erkennen, die vorgesehen sind, um (nicht dargestellte) Schrauben aufzunehmen, die sich durch Bohrungen 19 im ersten Endabschnitt 12 erstrecken und diesen in die Vertiefung 17 hineingedrückt halten. Da der Umriss der Vertiefung 17 exakt formschlüssig mit der Form des ersten Endabschnitts 12 zusammenpasst, kann der Arm 10 schnell und ohne Maß zu nehmen an einer exakt vorgegebenen Position des Rahmens 9 befestigt werden. Infolge des formschlüssigen Eingriffs des Endabschnitts 12 in die Vertiefung 17 ist die Genauigkeit der Positionierung auch nicht beeinträchtigt, wenn der Durchmesser der Bohrungen 19 größer ist als der der durch sie verlaufenden Schrauben. Vertiefungen 17 befinden sich an allen vier Ecken des Rahmens 9.A recess 17 on the front frame receives the first end portion 12 in a form-fitting manner. At the bottom of the recess 17 are two threaded holes 18 can be seen, which are provided to receive (not shown) screws extending through holes 19 in the first end portion 12 and hold it pressed into the recess 17. Since the outline of the recess 17 mates exactly form-fitting with the shape of the first end portion 12, the arm 10 can be quickly and without taking dimension attached to a precisely predetermined position of the frame 9. Due to the positive engagement of the end portion 12 in the recess 17, the accuracy of the positioning is not affected if the diameter of the holes 19 is greater than that of the screws passing through them. Recesses 17 are located at all four corners of the frame. 9

Von den zwei Bohrungen 19 des Endabschnitts 12 liegt eine einer kreisrunden Öffnung 21 und die andere dem Schlitz 15 des Endabschnitts 13 gegenüber. Durch die Öffnung 21 bzw. den Schlitz 15 hindurch können jeweils die einzelnen Schrauben in die Bohrungen 19 und die Gewindelöcher 18 eingeführt werden. Zum Befestigen der Schrauben kann auch ein Schraubenzieher oder dgl. die Öffnung 21 bzw. den Schlitz 15 passieren.Of the two holes 19 of the end portion 12 is one of a circular opening 21 and the other the slot 15 of the end portion 13 opposite. Through the opening 21 and the slot 15 through each of the individual screws can be inserted into the holes 19 and the threaded holes 18. To fasten the screws, a screwdriver or the like can also pass through the opening 21 or the slot 15.

In Höhe der Winkel 11 sind zur Versteifung jeweils zwei Sicken 20 in den Arm 10 geprägt.In height of the angle 11 two beads 20 are embossed in the arm 10 for stiffening.

Ein zum Einführen in die Hülse 16 vorgesehener Scharnierbolzen ist mit 22 bezeichnet. Der Scharnierbolzen hat die Form eines zylindrischen Stifts, der durch einen umlaufenden Steg 23 in einen in die Hülse 16 eingreifenden oberen Abschnitt 24 und einen unteren Abschnitt 25 gegliedert ist. Bei dem hier betrachteten Ausführungsbeispiel ist der obere Abschnitt 24 drehfest in der Hülse 16 aufgenommen, und der untere Abschnitt 25 greift drehbar in eine (in Fig. 3 nicht dargestellte) Scharnierhülse der Tür 2 ein. Denkbar wäre aber auch, den Scharnierbolzen 22 in dem Türblatt drehfest zu verankern und in den Hülsen 16 drehbar zu machen, oder eine Drehbarkeit des Scharnierbolzens 22 sowohl gegenüber dem Arm 10 als auch dem Türblatt 2 zuzulassen.A provided for insertion into the sleeve 16 hinge pin is designated 22. The hinge pin is in the form of a cylindrical pin, which is divided by a circumferential ridge 23 in an engaging in the sleeve 16 upper portion 24 and a lower portion 25. In the embodiment considered here, the upper portion 24 is rotatably received in the sleeve 16, and the lower portion 25 rotatably engages in a (in Fig. 3 not shown) hinge sleeve of the door 2 a. It would also be conceivable, however, to anchor the hinge pin 22 in the door leaf in a rotationally fixed manner and to turn it in the sleeves 16, or to allow a rotation of the hinge pin 22 both relative to the arm 10 and the door leaf 2.

Ein Öffnungsbegrenzungskörper 41 ist wie der Tragarm 10 aus einem Zuschnitt aus kräftigem Blech einteilig geformt. Der Öffnungsbegrenzungskörper 41 hat eine ebene Grundplatte 42, in der eine Bohrung 43 gebildet ist, und ist vorgesehen, um auf den unteren Abschnitt 25 des Scharnierbolzens 22 aufgesteckt zu werden. Von der Grundplatte 42 steht an einer dem Arm 10 zugewandten Seite ein plattenförmiger erster Abschnitt 44 ab, der radial in Bezug auf die Schwenkachse des Scharniers ausgerichtet ist. In der in Fig. 3 gezeigten, einer geschlossenen Tür entsprechenden Orientierung des Öffnungsbegrenzungskörper 41 erstreckt sich der erste Abschnitt 44 zwischen der Hülse 16 und der ihr gegenüberliegenden Bohrung 19 des ersten Endabschnitts 12. Ein zweiter, ebenfalls plattenförmiger Abschnitt 45 ist von der Grundplatte 42 in entgegengesetzter Richtung, von Arm 10 fort, abgewinkelt. Die Fläche des zweiten Abschnitts 45 ist wesentlich größer als die des ersten Abschnitts 44, und auch der Abstand von der Schwenkachse ist beim zweiten Abschnitt 45 deutlich größer als beim ersten Abschnitt 44. Die Funktion des Öffnungsbegrenzungskörper 41 wird deutlicher anhand der nachfolgenden Beschreibung der Fig. 4 bis 6.An opening limiting body 41 is like the support arm 10 of a blank made of strong sheet metal integrally formed. The opening limiting body 41 has a flat base plate 42 in which a bore 43 is formed, and is provided to be fitted on the lower portion 25 of the hinge pin 22. From the base plate 42 is on a side facing the arm 10, a plate-shaped first portion 44 which is radially aligned with respect to the pivot axis of the hinge. In the in Fig. 3 shown, corresponding to a closed door orientation of the Öffnungsbegrenzungskörper 41, the first portion 44 extends between the sleeve 16 and its opposite bore 19 of the first end portion 12. A second, also plate-shaped portion 45 is of the base plate 42 in the opposite direction, of arm 10th away, angled. The area of the second portion 45 is substantially larger than that of the first portion 44, and also the distance from the pivot axis at the second portion 45 is significantly larger than the first portion 44. The function of the opening limiting body 41 will become more apparent from the following description of the 4 to 6 ,

Fig. 4 zeigt einen horizontalen Schnitt durch die obere rechte Ecke des Korpus 1 und des Türblatts 2 in Höhe des Arms 10. Das Abschlussstück 5 weist an seiner dem Rahmen 9 zugewandten Rückseite eine geräumige Aussparung 26 auf, in die der Arm 10 eingreift. Der Arm 10 begrenzt eine Ausnehmung 27, die zu der Seitenfläche 4 hin offen ist. Der erste Abschnitt 44 des Öffnungsbegrenzungskörpers 41 erstreckt sich quer durch den Eingangsbereich der Ausnehmung 27. Eine Seitenwand 28 des Abschlussstücks 5 verläuft vor der Ausnehmung 27 her und ist im wesentlichen bündig mit der Seitenfläche 4.
Der Abstand zwischen dem vorderen Rahmen 9 und dem ihm zugewandten Ende 29 der Seitenwand 28 ist so gewählt, dass, wenn das Türblatt 2 um die von dem Scharnierbolzen 22 definierte Achse in die in Fig. 5 gezeigte Stellung aufgeschwenkt wird, es auf seiner durch einen Pfeil 30 bezeichneten Bahn soeben nicht den Rahmen 9 berührt. Fig. 4 shows a horizontal section through the upper right corner of the body 1 and the door leaf 2 at the level of the arm 10. The end piece 5 has on its the frame 9 facing the rear side a spacious recess 26, in which the arm 10 engages. The arm 10 defines a recess 27 which is open to the side surface 4. The first portion 44 of the opening limiting body 41 extends transversely through the entrance area of the recess 27. A side wall 28 of the end piece 5 extends in front of the recess 27 and is substantially flush with the side surface 4.
The distance between the front frame 9 and the end 29 facing it of the side wall 28 is selected so that when the door leaf 2 about the axis defined by the hinge pin 22 in the in Fig. 5 shown pivoted position, it just does not touch the frame 9 on its designated by an arrow 30 path.

Eine offene Anschlagstellung der Tür ist dadurch festgelegt, dass der erste Abschnitt 44 des Öffnungsbegrenzungskörper 41 an der Innenseite des Endabschnitts 13 anliegt. Wenn beim Öffnen der Tür der Abschnitt 44 an den Endabschnitt 13 anstößt, wirkt auf den Endabschnitt 44 bezogen auf die Schwenkachse ein Drehmoment, welches durch ein entgegengesetzt gleiches, auf den zweiten Abschnitt 45 wirkendes Drehmoment kompensiert sein muss. Dieses Gegenmoment wird, wie mit Bezug auf Fig. 6 genauer erläutert wird, ausgeübt von dem Abschlussstück 5 des Türblatts, in welches der zweite Abschnitt 45 eingreift.An open stop position of the door is defined by the fact that the first portion 44 of the opening limiting body 41 bears against the inside of the end portion 13. When opening the door, the portion 44 abuts the end portion 13, acts on the end portion 44 with respect to the pivot axis, a torque which by a opposite equal, acting on the second portion 45 torque must be compensated. This countermoment becomes, as with reference to Fig. 6 is explained in more detail, exercised by the end piece 5 of the door leaf, in which the second portion 45 engages.

In der aufgeschwenkten Stellung der Fig. 5 greift die Seitenwand 28 tief in die Ausnehmung 27 des Arms ein. Maximale Öffnungswinkel der Tür von weit über 90 Grad sind mit der in den Fig. gezeigten Geometrie ohne weiteres erreichbar. Noch größere Öffnungswinkel sind realisierbar, wenn der Endabschnitt 13 nicht geradlinig, wie in den Figuren gezeigt, sondern nach vorn gewölbt ausgeführt ist.In the swung position of Fig. 5 engages the side wall 28 deep into the recess 27 of the arm. Maximum opening angles of the door of well over 90 degrees are readily achievable with the geometry shown in the figures. Even larger opening angles can be realized if the end section 13 is not rectilinear, as shown in the figures, but is curved toward the front.

Fig. 6 zeigt einen vertikalen Schnitt durch den oberen Bereich der Tür 2 in Höhe der Linie VI-VI aus Fig. 5. Das Abschlussstück 5 ist hier aus zwei Formteilen, einem unteren Teil 31 und einem oberen Teil 32 zusammengefügt. Das obere Teil 32 ist im wesentlichen plattenförmig mit an seiner Unterseite abstehenden Verankerungsstiften 33, die reibschlüssig in Sacklöcher 34 des unteren Teils 31 eingreifen. Das untere Teil 31 hat eine Bodenplatte 38, die den mit (in der Fig. nicht gezeigtem) Isolierschaum ausgefüllten Hohlraum 35 des Mittelstücks 7 abschließt. Vorder- und Rückwand 36, 37 des Mittelstücks 7 liegen an einem von der Bodenplatte 38 abstehenden Steg 39 an. Eine Scharnierhülse 40, die den unteren Abschnitt 25 des Scharnierbolzens 22 aufnimmt, ist einteilig in der Bodenplatte 38 ausgeformt und greift in den Hohlraum 35 des Mittelstücks 7 ein. Fig. 6 shows a vertical section through the upper portion of the door 2 at the level of the line VI-VI Fig. 5 , The end piece 5 is here assembled from two molded parts, a lower part 31 and an upper part 32. The upper part 32 is substantially plate-shaped with protruding on its underside anchoring pins 33 which engage frictionally engaged in blind holes 34 of the lower part 31. The lower part 31 has a bottom plate 38 which closes the hollow space 35 of the middle piece 7 which is filled with insulating foam (not shown in the figure). Front and rear wall 36, 37 of the center piece 7 abut against a web 39 protruding from the bottom plate 38. A hinge sleeve 40, which receives the lower portion 25 of the hinge pin 22, is integrally formed in the bottom plate 38 and engages in the cavity 35 of the center piece 7 a.

In der Bodenplatte 38 sind einteilig eine Scharnierhülse 40, die den unteren Abschnitt 25 des Scharnierbolzens 22 aufnimmt, und ein quer zur Schnittebene langgestreckter Zapfen 46 in den Hohlraum 35 des Mittelstücks 7 eingreifend einteilig ausgeformt. Der Zapfen 46 begrenzt einen nach oben offenen Schlitz 47 mit zum Isolierschaum des Hohlraums 35 hin geschlossenen Wänden, in dem der zweite Abschnitt 45 des Öffnungsbegrenzungskörper 41 spielfrei aufgenommen ist. Der doppelwandige Zapfen 46 und der ihm eng benachbarte, an der Rückwand 37 des Mittelstücks 7 anliegende Steg 39 bilden eine biegesteife Struktur, die in der Lage ist, das benötigte Drehmoment auf den zweiten Abschnitt 45 auszuüben. Im Bedarfsfall kann auch eine zusätzliche Versteifung des Abschlussstücks, z.B. in Form eines sich senkrecht zur Schnittebene erstreckenden Stahlstabes 48, in Fig. 6 als gestrichelter Umriss eingezeichnet, in den Zwischenraum zwischen dem Zapfen 46 und dem rückwärtigen Steg 39 eingefügt sein.In the bottom plate 38 are integrally formed a hinge sleeve 40 which receives the lower portion 25 of the hinge pin 22, and an elongated transverse to the cutting plane pin 46 into the cavity 35 of the central piece 7 integrally formed integrally. The pin 46 defines an upwardly open slot 47 with the insulating foam of the cavity 35 toward closed walls, in which the second portion 45 of the opening limiting body 41 is received without play. The double-walled pin 46 and the closely adjacent thereto, on the rear wall 37 of the central piece 7 web 39 form a rigid structure which is able to exert the required torque on the second section 45. If necessary, an additional stiffening of the end piece, for example in the form of a perpendicular to the cutting plane extending steel bar 48, in Fig. 6 drawn as a dashed outline, be inserted into the space between the pin 46 and the rear web 39.

Die Aussparung 26 erstreckt sich über die gesamte Breite der Tür, von der einen Seitenwand 28 des Abschlussstücks 5 zur spiegelsymmetrisch gegenüberliegenden. Benachbart zu dieser gegenüberliegenden Seitenwand ist eine zweite, nicht gezeigte Scharnierhülse 40 ausgeformt, um einen Anschlagwechsel der Tür zu ermöglichen.The recess 26 extends over the entire width of the door, from the one side wall 28 of the end piece 5 to the mirror-symmetrically opposite. Adjacent to this opposite side wall, a second, not shown, hinge sleeve 40 is formed to allow a stop change of the door.
