Description

refrigerated goods

The present invention relates to a refrigerated goods carrier for a refrigeration device.

From DE 42 24 798 A1, such a refrigerated goods with a plate and a shell is known, which can be latched in a recess of the plate hanging. If the shell is locked, it allows the clear placement of small-sized refrigerated goods. When the shell is removed, it is possible to accommodate refrigerated goods, which is higher than the two compartments of the interior of the refrigerator, which are separated by the refrigerated goods.

A disadvantage of this refrigerated goods carrier is that the shell must be removed and thus lost as a storage area for refrigerated goods, when the refrigerated goods to be accommodated in the recess is only slightly higher than each of the subjects. If such refrigerated goods must be accommodated, remains above him a considerable volume that can not be used.

Object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerated goods of the type mentioned, which allows efficient use of the existing refrigerator even if refrigerated goods is to be accommodated, which is indeed higher than each of two separated by the refrigerated goods trays, but much lower than the height both subjects together.

The object is achieved by a refrigerated goods with a carrier plate and a shell, which is in a first orientation in a recess of the plate hanging and standing in a second orientation latched. Thus, depending on the orientation of the shell different heights of the floor can be realized so that storage spaces of different heights can be created. While in the standing orientation of the shell, the level of the bottom of the shell will not differ substantially from that of the support plate, it may be much lower in hanging attachment of the shell, so that on the one hand parking space is available, which is significantly higher than the top of the two compartments, at the same time in the lower compartment, the region below the bottom of the shell but remains usable to accommodate there lower refrigerated goods. In order to realize the optional and hanging latching of the shell, preferably have an edge of the recess and a wall of the shell in each case projections and recesses, wherein rest in the second orientation, the projections of the wall on the projections of the edge of the recess.

At the recesses of the wall of the shell elevations are expediently formed, which rest in the first orientation on the projections of the edge of the recess and thus hold the shell in the hanging position.

For reasons of rigidity and stability, the elevations are preferably over the width of the recesses extending webs.

These bumps are preferably formed at an upper edge of the shell to realize the greatest possible difference in level between the standing and the hanging arrangement of the shell.

The projections of the edge of the recess are preferably spaced from an upper surface of the plate so that the hanging shell held on these projections does not necessarily project beyond the upper surface of the plate. If the hinged tray remains under the top of the plate, it is even possible to lock two trays simultaneously in the recess.

In order to lock the shell in the horizontal direction, it preferably has outer surfaces which engage positively in the first orientation between two mutually facing vertical surfaces of the edge of the recess.

These outer surfaces may be formed on the projections of the edge, or they may be formed on webs which protrude from the bottom of the shell.

If the shell is open in the second orientation upwards, then it is expedient if it can be latched in a third, downwardly open orientation beyond. This makes it possible to place the bottom of the bowl above the level of the plate, so that high refrigerated goods are placed in the lower compartment, engaging from below into the shell can and the space above the swept upwards in this third orientation bottom of the shell for parking small-scale refrigerated goods remains usable.

It can be provided as an accessory of the refrigerated goods carrier a second shell. This is preferably stackable on the first shell, wherein both an orientation of the second shell with an opening facing upwards for receiving further goods to be cooled or an orientation with opening down, as a cover of the first shell into consideration.

For flexible use of space, the two shells should expediently have different heights.

Further features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description of embodiments with reference to the accompanying figures. Show it:

Bowl;

Fig. 4 shows a modification of the partial section of Fig. 3;

Fig. 6 is a partial section through a plate with hinged shell.

A storage tray 1 of the refrigerated goods carrier shown in a perspective view in Fig. 1 is constructed of a molded plastic frame 3 and a rectangular plate 4 made of safety glass, which is bordered by the frame 3 at its four edges. The

Disc 4 surrounding webs 5, 6, 7, 8 each have a groove which is an edge of the disc 4th - A -

absorbs and, if the mechanical stability of the refrigerated goods requires this, be stiffened by an embedded metal profile.

The webs 5, 7, which form a leading edge or trailing edge of the storage tray, are rectilinearly elongated beyond the edge of the disk 4 which extends from the web 6 extending in the depth direction and are connected at their ends by a web 9 parallel to the webs 6, 8 , The webs 5, 7, 8, 9 thus delimit a recess 10 adjacent to the disk 4.

The webs 6, 9, which form the lateral boundaries of the plate 1, each have in their front region a laterally extending horizontal rib 11 and in the rear

Area on a pin 12, which are provided in a conventional manner on a

Projection of a side wall of the inner container a refrigeration device (not shown) to rest. The pin 12 is slightly deeper than the rib 1 1 arranged to pass through

Engage with a recessed point of the projection to allow a latching of the refrigerated goods carrier in the inner container.

At the generally rectangular edge of the recess 10 a plurality of trapezoidal projections 13 are distributed and form, as the plan view of FIG. 2 shows, an edge contour in which the two narrow sides 14 each by displacement in the direction of a dash-dotted line and the longitudinal sides 15 by reflection at this line are interconvertible.

The molded plastic shell 2 has a side wall, at each of which projections 16 and recesses 17 alternate with each other. In its orientation shown in Fig. 1, the shell 2 is inserted into the recess 10 a piece until the projections 16 of the shell, respectively, as shown in the section of Fig. 3, to rest on the projections 13 of the recess 10. In this position, the bottom 18 of the shell 2 is maintained at about the same level as the glass sheet 4, and it is positively held by positive engagement of the projections 16 between vertical walls 19 of the recess 10 above the projections 13 in the lateral direction, so that they can not slip and tilt in the recess 10. FIG. 4 shows a partial section analogous to FIG. 2 through the refrigerated goods carrier according to FIG. a modified embodiment in which the projections 13 extend to the level of the top of the frame 3. Here, when the projections 16 of the shell rest on the projections 13 of the frame, they are not simultaneously fixed by the wall of the recess in the lateral direction. Instead, in this variant at the bottom 18 of the shell in each case below the projections 16 webs 20 are formed, which interlock between the vertical walls of the projections 13 and thus fix the shell in the lateral direction.

By turning the shell 2 from its orientation shown in Fig. 1 by 180 degrees about its hollow axis this comes in an orientation in which each of the recesses 17 of the shell with the projections 13 of the recess 10 overlap. In this second orientation, the shell 2 is lowered into the recess 10 until webs 21, which extend in each case at the upper edge of the shell over the entire width of the recesses 17, come to rest on the projections 13 of the frame 3. Fig. 5 shows the hinged position of the shell 2 on a slightly modified embodiment of the plate 1. In this modified embodiment, the front web 5 is removed in the region of the recess 10 except for two short stub 22. Although the interruption of the web 5 affects the rigidity of the plate 1, but it has the advantage that a user can easily grip the front of the shell 2 with one hand and remove it from its hinged position. In the suspended position, the stub 22 are not required per se to fix the shell 2 in the depth direction, since this is already fixed by the interlocking projections and recesses 13, 17 of the recess and the shell in the depth direction. Only in the vertical orientation of the shell 2, the stub 22 are required to secure the shell 2 against slipping.

As can be seen in particular in the section of Fig. 6, the upper edge 23 of the hanging shell 2 is slightly lower than the top 24 of the frame 3, so that when hinged shell 2 is still a slight depression in the recess 10 is present. This depression allows a second shell to be stacked on the hinged first shell 2. In this case, the second shell may be arranged with bottom lying in an orientation in which their projections are respectively supported on the webs 21 of the underlying shell, or the second shell may, as indicated by dashed lines in Fig. 6, be turned upside down and to form such a lid for the first shell 2. Of course, it is also possible to lock only an upside-down shell in the recess 10 so as to be able to place in a compartment below the plate 1 refrigerated goods that is higher than the tray, and on the floor of the head over this refrigerated slipped up dish to be able to accommodate more refrigerated goods.
