Definitions
- the present invention relates to a domestic appliance, in particular a refrigeration appliance, with a body, a door hinged to the body for closing an interior of the body and a decorative panel which is pre-shielded from the door by a gap.
- Household appliances of this type are used in particular as built-in appliances, sunk into a furniture recess, but also as large-sized floor-standing appliances which are set up in close proximity to furniture or other household appliances.
- the decorative panel mostly takes up design elements from neighboring furniture or household appliances in order to give the entire arrangement an aesthetically uniform appearance.
- a front edge of the cover element remains visible even when the door is closed, which can be perceived as aesthetically unsatisfactory.
- an edge region of the flexible cover element slidably engages in a gap between the appliance door and the pre-shielded decorative panel. This complicates the mounting of the decorative panel on the door, since the hinge-side edge cannot be used to attach support parts for the decorative panel. This can become a problem, particularly for floor-to-ceiling units of great height, since the decorative panel cannot swing out of the way.
- the object of the invention is to provide a household appliance of the type specified above, the door of which provides effective protection against jamming without the appearance of the appliance or the strength of the decorative panel being adversely affected thereby.
- a household appliance having a body, a door hinged to the body for closing an interior of the body, a decorative panel which is pre-shielded by a gap, and a flexible cover element which extends from a side wall of the body to the gap, in which the cover element is held in the gap on a carrier part connecting the door and the decorative plate.
- the cover element is clamped in a groove formed between the carrier part and the decorative plate.
- the carrier part can be provided with claws projecting into the groove.
- the carrier part is preferably a mounting bracket, the two legs of which the first is held on a rear side of the decorative panel and the second is attached to a flank of the door, in particular the hinge-side flank of the door.
- a fastening bracket of the same type can of course also be used to fasten the decorative panel on the flank of the door facing away from the hinge; there is only no cover element provided in the groove between the decorative plate and the mounting bracket.
- the two legs of the mounting bracket are preferably connected via an intermediate section spaced apart from the decorative plate, which, together with the decorative plate, delimits the groove for clamping the cover element.
- the cover element When the door is closed, the cover element preferably forms an angle with a first leg engaging in the gap and a second leg abutting the side wall.
- the two legs preferably meet at a point at the level of a lateral edge of the decorative panel.
- the two legs are advantageously connected via a film hinge. It is thus possible in particular to implement the cover element in one piece, preferably as an extruded profile made of a flexible plastic.
- the second leg comprises a first section with a first thickness extending from the decorative panel to the body and a section with a second thickness extending along the side wall, the second being larger than the first thickness.
- the area of the cover element that blocks the gap between the door and an adjacent furniture front when the door is open can have sufficient rigidity to ensure that it is not accidentally pressed aside by a finger, on the other hand, the section with the second thickness can be flexible enough to be held so that the cover element can deform following the movement of the door, without requiring any significant effort on the part of the user.
- the decorative panel is preferably in three spatial directions, or at least in the width direction of the door, adjustable. Accordingly, the cover element should also be adjustable in order to ensure reliable functioning.
- adjustability of the cover element can advantageously be achieved by releasably clamping the cover element between clamping jaws of the carrier part, which extend parallel to the decorative plate, and a clamping part.
- clamping jaws of the carrier part which extend parallel to the decorative plate
- a clamping part it would also be conceivable to clamp the cover element directly between the carrier part and the decorative plate, as in the first embodiment described above, in this case, however, an excessive clamping force can lead to excessive stress on the decorative plate and thus to its damage.
- a space-saving structure can be achieved if the clamping part is held pressed against a side flank of the door by screws and the clamping part is displaceably guided in relation to the support part in a manner in which an approach of the clamping part to the flank forces the clamping jaws to approach simultaneously . If the clamping part is pulled against the flank by tightening the screws, the cover element is clamped between the clamping jaws at the same time.
- the displacement of the clamping part is preferably performed by at least one inclined surface facing the decorative plate, which is formed on a tab of the carrier part which extends away from the flank.
- the carrier part and the clamping part preferably each have an elongated base plate parallel to the side flank of the door.
- the clamping part can then be held in a simple manner with the aid of at least one screw passing through an opening in the carrier part.
- a particularly compact structure can be realized if the base plate of the clamping part has on one side a projection which engages in the opening of the carrier part and on the other side a recess which receives a head of the screw.
- carrier parts can be arranged on opposite flanks of the door. Only the carrier parts on the hinge-side flank need to be equipped with clamping parts.
- Each carrier part preferably also has a clamp which receives a profile covering the gap between the door and the decorative panel.
- Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of the upper front area of a household refrigerator as an embodiment of a household appliance according to the invention.
- a door 1 can be seen, which has a multi-joint hinge 2 with a Body 3 of the refrigerator is connected.
- the door 1 is realized in a conventional manner as a hollow body filled with a foamed polymer material.
- An adjusting rail 4 has a base plate 5, which extends essentially over the entire width of the door 1, and two tabs 6 bent at right angles from the base plate. Two holes, each aligned with the blind thread, are punched into the tabs 6.
- a special screw In a blind thread of each pair there is a special screw, the head of which comprises a plate, which in the figure is hidden under the tab 6 and is larger than the hole so that the tab is supported on it, and a pin which protrudes axially from the plate , which penetrates the hole with play and makes it possible to turn the special screw under the tab 6 and thus adjust the height of the adjustment rail or the decorative plate attached to it.
- a screw 7 which holds the tab 6 pressed against the plate and thus fixes the adjustment rail 4 to the door 1.
- the base plate 5 is stiffened by a flat embossed rib 9, from which extensions extend into the tab 6.
- two tabs 13 are cranked out towards the door 1 from the plane of the base plate 5; they are provided with stamped claws 11.
- a plurality of holes 14 of the base plate 5 are provided in order to fasten a decorative plate 15 to the base plate with the aid of screws inserted through them.
- the tabs 13 together with the opposite decorative plate 15 form open slots towards the flanks 12 of the door 1, into which the claws 11 project.
- a shown in the figure behind the second leg 18, also made of sheet metal bracket 20 is not fixed to the mounting bracket 16, but is provided to be attached to the decorative plate 15 by means of two screws 21, so as to between a central portion of the Bracket 20 and the decorative plate 14 form a slot, in which the second leg 18 engages from the side slidably.
- a bead 22 embossed into the second leg 18 facilitates the production of a frictional connection between the second leg 18 and the slot when the leg 18 is inserted into it.
- Fig. 2 shows a partial section through a front corner of the refrigerator with part of the door 1 and the decorative plate 15 spaced from the door 1 by a gap 33 at the level of the mounting bracket 16 and through an adjacent household appliance or furniture 8, the front of which in the closed position of the door 1 is flush with the front of the decorative plate 15.
- the blind thread for the screw 7 in the door 1 is formed by a solid, plastic body 24 embedded in the expanded polymer material 23 and fastened to the outer skin of the door 1.
- a first leg 26 of an extruded plastic profile 27 of an angular cross section is inserted into a plug-in groove 25 delimited on the one hand by the intermediate section 19 and on the other hand by the decorative plate 15 and held by frictional engagement and with the aid of the claws 11 projecting into the plug-in groove 25.
- the insertion depth is selected so that a foil hinge 29, which connects the leg 27 to a second leg 28, comes to lie directly on the lateral edge of the decorative plate 15.
- the second leg 28 extends along the flank 12 of the door 1 into a gap 30 between the side wall of the body 3 and the adjacent furniture 8.
- the leg 28 is divided into two sections, a thick and accordingly rigid section adjacent to the film hinge 29 31, which extends in front of the edge 12 of the door 1 towards the body 3, and an adjoining, thin and more flexible section 32 which engages between the body 3 and the neighboring furniture 8.
- Fig. 3 shows the same components as Fig. 2 , but in a partially open position of the door 1. Due to the movement of the door 1, the leg 28 is pulled out of the gap 30 to a certain extent, and its rigid section 31 bridges a gap 34 which is defined by the movement of the door 1 between the Decorative plate 15 and the furniture 8 has formed.
- the extruded profile 27 in the film hinge 29 is slightly flexible, it does not provide any appreciable resistance to the opening of the door 1.
- the stiffness of section 31, on the other hand not only effectively prevents fingers from accidentally entering gap 34, but also effectively prevents a small child who is not aware of the danger from deliberately inserting his fingers into gap 34.
- the width of the section 31 is dimensioned such that when the film hinge 29 moves in front of the furniture 8, the thin section 32 has reached the front corner of the furniture 8, so that when the film hinge 29 moves laterally in front of the furniture 8 , the leg 28 can yield to this by the section 32 bending in its front region.
- the construction of the leg 28 from the differently thick and different rigid sections 31, 32 gives the leg 28 a high degree of rigidity overall, which ensures that it reliably moves back into the gap 30 when the door 1 is closed. There is no risk of the leg getting stuck and subsequently buckling between the furniture 8 and the flank 12 of the door 1.
- FIG. 14 shows a mounting bracket 40 that is different from the mounting bracket 16 with respect to FIG Figures 1 to 4 described embodiment differs in that on its side 41 parallel to the lateral flank 12 of the door 1 two tabs 42 are angled.
- the tabs 42 are each provided with a notch 43 which is open towards the free end of the leg 41.
- FIG. 2 shows an analog section through a refrigerator with the mounting bracket 40, the notches 43 serve to keep a web 44 of a flexible cover profile 45 clamped.
- the web 44 is connected in one piece with a jacket 46 which extends in an arc around the leg 17 and with an edge 47 touches the flank 12 of the door and with the opposite edge 48 the leg 26 of the angle profile 27 and in this way the gap 33 hidden between the door 1 and the decorative plate 15.
- a side flank of the door 1, not shown in the figure and opposite the flank 12, is connected in the same way to the decorative panel 15 via mounting brackets 40.
- a cover profile 45 is inserted into the notches 43 of the mounting bracket 40 in order to also close the gap 33 on this side, the front edge 48 of the jacket 46 directly touching the decorative plate 15 here.
- Fig. 7 shows a perspective view of a mounting bracket 50 and a clamping part 51 provided for cooperation with the mounting bracket 50 according to a further developed embodiment of the invention.
- the mounting bracket 50 also has a leg 18, which is provided to fit between the decorative plate 15 and a bracket, such as the bracket 20, attached to it Fig. 1 to be inserted.
- the other leg is widened to form an elongate plate 52 in which three open cutouts 53, 54, 54 are formed.
- Two tabs 55 are notched out of the plate on both sides of the central cutout 53.
- An inclined surface 56 is formed on a lower edge of the tabs 55, facing the decorative plate 15 in the assembled state of the mounting bracket 50.
- two arms 57 are angled, each with an upwardly open notch 58.
- a latching projection or barb 59 projects into the notch 58 on each of the two arms 57.
- the clamping part 51 is punched out of a sheet metal and shaped.
- an elongated base plate 62 of the clamping part 51 five cutouts 63, 64, 64, 65, 65 which are open at the top are formed.
- the wide central cutout 63 is aligned with the cutout 53 of the mounting bracket 50; the two small cutouts 64 adjacent thereto are provided to receive the tabs 55 of the mounting bracket, and the outer cutouts 65 are aligned with the cutouts 54 of the mounting bracket.
- the cutouts 65 are formed in a U-shaped recess 66 of the base plate 62; a projection complementary to the recess 66 on the back of the base plate 62 engages in the cutout 54 in the cutouts 54 of the mounting bracket.
- Two short arms 67 are angled at the longitudinal ends of the base plate 62.
- Fig. 8 shows the mounting bracket 50 and the clamping part 51 in the state mounted on the refrigerator door 1 in section along a plane running through the central cutouts 53, 63.
- the head of the screw 21 is received in the wide cutout 63 of the clamping part 51 without touching the clamping part 51.
- the leg 18 of the mounting bracket 50 engages between the decorative plate 15 and a bracket 20 attached to it. By moving the leg 18 in the gap formed between the bracket 20 and the decorative plate 15, the decorative plate 15 can be adjusted with respect to the door 1 in the width direction.
- Fig. 2 has a flexible extruded profile 27 a leg 26 which engages between the decorative plate 15 and the intermediate section 60 and a leg 28 which extends from the edge of the decorative plate 15 into a gap between the body of the refrigerator (not shown in the figure) and neighboring furniture or - device extends.
- a web 68 of the extruded profile 27 parallel to the leg 26 is between the arms 67 of the clamping part 51 and the opposite tongues 61 of the Mounting bracket 50 clamped. Since this clamping ensures a firm hold of the profile 27, the leg 26 in turn does not need to be clamped and is preferably accommodated with little play between the decorative plate 15 and the intermediate section 60.
- a web 44 of a cover profile 45 is inserted into the notches 58 of the arms 57, and a jacket 46 of the cover profile 45 extends between the flank 12 of the door 1 and the web 68 and thus covers the mounting bracket 50, the clamping part 51 and the Gap between door 1 and decorative panel 15.
- Fig. 9 shows a second section through the mounting bracket 50, the clamping part 51 and their surroundings along a plane running through one of the cutouts 64.
- the tab 55 engages in the cutout 64, the web 68 clamped between the tongue 61 and the arm 67 elastically holding the lower edge of the cutout 64 against the inclined surface 56 on the underside of the tab 55 and thus the clamping part on one by the Orientation of the inclined surface 56 defined path slidably leads.
- Fig. 10 shows a third section through the mounting bracket 50 and the clamping part 51 in a plane running through a pair of cutouts 54, 65.
- a screw 69 passes through the cutouts 54, 65 and is anchored in the door 1.
- Her head lies within the recess 66 on the plate 52 and holds the clamping part 51 pressed against the edge 12 of the door.
- a projection opposite the recess 66 on the side of the plate 52 facing the door is snapped into the cutout 54. The projection does not directly touch the flank 12.
- the plate 52 is simultaneously forced downwards on the inclined surfaces 56 of the tabs 55, so that the gap between arm 57 and tongue 61, in which the web 68 is clamped, narrows. That is, with the aid of the inclined surfaces 56, the clamping part 51 is guided obliquely, displaceably towards the flank 12 and at the same time towards the decorative plate 15, so that by tightening the two screws 69 passing through two pairs of cutouts 54, 65, the extruded profile 27 is firmly tensioned and by loosening the screws 69, the extruded profile 27 can be released. It is thus possible, after the decorative plate 15 has been adjusted in relation to the door 1, to place the extruded profile 27 exactly such that the outside of its leg 28 is flush with the edge of the decorative plate 15.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Haushaltsgerät, insbesondere ein Kältegerät, mit einem Korpus, einer an den Korpus angelenkten Tür zum Verschließen eines Innenraumes des Korpus und einer der Tür durch einen Spalt beabstandet vorgeblendeten Dekorplatte. Derartige Haushaltsgeräte kommen insbesondere als Einbaugeräte, versenkt in eine Möbelnische, zum Einsatz, aber auch als großformatige Standgeräte, die eng benachbart zu Möbeln oder anderen Haushaltsgeräten aufgestellt werden. Die Dekorplatte greift zumeist Gestaltungselemente der benachbarten Möbel oder Haushaltsgeräte auf, um der gesamten Anordnung eine ästhetisch einheitliche Anmutung zu verleihen.The present invention relates to a domestic appliance, in particular a refrigeration appliance, with a body, a door hinged to the body for closing an interior of the body and a decorative panel which is pre-shielded from the door by a gap. Household appliances of this type are used in particular as built-in appliances, sunk into a furniture recess, but also as large-sized floor-standing appliances which are set up in close proximity to furniture or other household appliances. The decorative panel mostly takes up design elements from neighboring furniture or household appliances in order to give the entire arrangement an aesthetically uniform appearance.
Bei einer solchen Anordnung wird im Allgemeinen Wert darauf gelegt, dass die Frontseiten der Möbel und der Haushaltsgeräte eine bündige Fläche bilden. Um die Tür eines solchen Haushaltsgerätes öffnen zu können, ohne an benachbarte Möbel oder Geräte zu stoßen, werden meist Mehrgelenkscharniere verwendet, mit denen sich eine Bewegung der Tür ähnlich einer Drehung um eine imaginäre, seitlich vom Korpus beabstandete Achse führen lässt. Eine Folge dieser Führung ist, dass beim Öffnen der Tür sich zwischen der scharnierseitigen Kante der Tür und der Front eines daran angrenzenden Möbels oder Geräts ein Spalt bildet, der eine Breite von mehreren Zentimetern erreichen kann. Ein Finger, der sich in diesem Spalt befindet, während die Tür geschlossen wird, läuft Gefahr, schwer verletzt zu werden.In such an arrangement, it is generally important that the front sides of the furniture and household appliances form a flush surface. In order to be able to open the door of such a household appliance without bumping into neighboring furniture or devices, multi-joint hinges are usually used, with which a movement of the door can be guided like a rotation about an imaginary axis laterally spaced from the body. One consequence of this guidance is that when the door is opened, a gap is formed between the hinge-side edge of the door and the front of an adjacent piece of furniture or equipment, which can reach a width of several centimeters. A finger that is in this gap while the door is closed runs the risk of being seriously injured.
Um diese Gefahr zu beseitigen, hat die Anmelderin in der nicht vorveröffentlichten deutschen Patentanmeldung
Einer ersten Ausgestaltung zufolge wird vorgeschlagen, das Abdeckelement an einer seitlichen Flanke der der Haushaltsgerätetür vorgeblendeten Dekorplatte zu befestigen. Dabei bleibt jedoch eine Vorderkante des Abdeckelementes auch bei geschlossener Tür sichtbar, was als ästhetisch unbefriedigend empfunden werden kann. Einer zweiten Ausgestaltung zufolge greift ein Randbereich des flexiblen Abdeckelementes verschiebbar in einen Spalt zwischen der Gerätetür und der vorgeblendeten Dekorplatte ein. Dies erschwert die Montage der Dekorplatte an der Tür, da die scharnierseitige Kante nicht genutzt werden kann, um daran Trägerteile für die Dekorplatte anzubringen. Insbesondere bei Standgeräten von großer Höhe kann dies zum Problem werden, da ein Schwingen der Dekorplatte nicht ausgeschlossen werden kann.According to a first embodiment, it is proposed to attach the cover element to a side flank of the decorative panel that is pre-shielded from the household appliance door. However, a front edge of the cover element remains visible even when the door is closed, which can be perceived as aesthetically unsatisfactory. According to a second embodiment, an edge region of the flexible cover element slidably engages in a gap between the appliance door and the pre-shielded decorative panel. This complicates the mounting of the decorative panel on the door, since the hinge-side edge cannot be used to attach support parts for the decorative panel. This can become a problem, particularly for floor-to-ceiling units of great height, since the decorative panel cannot swing out of the way.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist, ein Haushaltsgerät der oben angegebenen Art zu schaffen, dessen Tür einen effektiven Klemmschutz bietet, ohne dass dadurch das Aussehen des Gerätes oder die Festigkeit der Dekorplatte beeinträchtigt sind.The object of the invention is to provide a household appliance of the type specified above, the door of which provides effective protection against jamming without the appearance of the appliance or the strength of the decorative panel being adversely affected thereby.
Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch ein Haushaltsgerät mit einem Korpus, einer an den Korpus angelenkten Tür zum Verschließen eines Innenraumes des Korpus, einer der Tür durch einen Spalt vorgeblendeten Dekorplatte und einem sich von einer Seitenwand des Korpus bis in den Spalt erstreckenden flexiblen Abdeckelement, bei dem das Abdeckelement in dem Spalt an einem Tür und Dekorplatte verbindenden Trägerteil gehalten ist.The object is achieved by a household appliance having a body, a door hinged to the body for closing an interior of the body, a decorative panel which is pre-shielded by a gap, and a flexible cover element which extends from a side wall of the body to the gap, in which the cover element is held in the gap on a carrier part connecting the door and the decorative plate.
Einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung zufolge ist das Abdeckelement in einer zwischen dem Trägerteil und der Dekorplatte gebildeten Nut geklemmt.According to a preferred embodiment, the cover element is clamped in a groove formed between the carrier part and the decorative plate.
Um die Festigkeit der Verankerung des Abdeckelementes zu verbessern, kann das Trägerteil mit in die Nut vorspringenden Krallen versehen sein.In order to improve the strength of the anchoring of the cover element, the carrier part can be provided with claws projecting into the groove.
Das Trägerteil ist vorzugsweise ein Befestigungswinkel, von dessen zwei Schenkeln der erste an einer Rückseite der Dekorplatte gehalten ist und der zweite an einer Flanke der Tür, insbesondere der scharnierseitigen Flanke der Tür, befestigt ist. Ein Befestigungswinkel des gleichen Typs kann natürlich auch dazu eingesetzt werden, die Dekorplatte an der vom Scharnier abgewandten Flanke der Tür zu befestigen; dort wird lediglich kein Abdeckelement in der Nut zwischen Dekorplatte und Befestigungswinkel vorgesehen.The carrier part is preferably a mounting bracket, the two legs of which the first is held on a rear side of the decorative panel and the second is attached to a flank of the door, in particular the hinge-side flank of the door. A fastening bracket of the same type can of course also be used to fasten the decorative panel on the flank of the door facing away from the hinge; there is only no cover element provided in the groove between the decorative plate and the mounting bracket.
Die zwei Schenkel des Befestigungswinkels sind vorzugsweise über einen von der Dekorplatte beabstandeten Zwischenabschnitt verbunden, der zusammen mit der Dekorplatte die Nut zum Einklemmen des Abdeckelementes begrenzt.The two legs of the mounting bracket are preferably connected via an intermediate section spaced apart from the decorative plate, which, together with the decorative plate, delimits the groove for clamping the cover element.
Ein an der Dekorplatte befestigter Bügel, in den der erste Schenkel des Befestigungswinkels in den Spalt eingesteckt wird, ermöglicht eine besonders einfache Befestigung der Dekorplatte an der Tür sowie eine Justage der Dekorplatte in der Einsteckrichtung, d.h. in Breitenrichtung der Tür.A bracket fastened to the decorative plate, into which the first leg of the fastening bracket is inserted into the gap, enables the decorative plate to be particularly easily attached to the door and an adjustment of the decorative plate in the insertion direction, i.e. in the width direction of the door.
Das Abdeckelement bildet bei geschlossener Tür vorzugsweise einen Winkel mit einem in den Spalt eingreifenden ersten Schenkel und einem an der Seitenwand anliegenden zweiten Schenkel. Die zwei Schenkel stoßen vorzugsweise an einen Punkt in Höhe einer seitlichen Kante der Dekorplatte aneinander.When the door is closed, the cover element preferably forms an angle with a first leg engaging in the gap and a second leg abutting the side wall. The two legs preferably meet at a point at the level of a lateral edge of the decorative panel.
Vorteilhafterweise sind die zwei Schenkel über ein Folienscharnier verbunden. So ist es insbesondere möglich, das Abdeckelement einteilig zu realisieren, vorzugsweise als ein Strangprofil aus einem flexiblen Kunststoff.The two legs are advantageously connected via a film hinge. It is thus possible in particular to implement the cover element in one piece, preferably as an extruded profile made of a flexible plastic.
Vorteilhaft ist ferner, dass der zweite Schenkel einen sich von der Dekorplatte zum Korpus erstreckenden ersten Abschnitt mit einer ersten Dicke und einen sich entlang der Seitenwand erstreckenden Abschnitt mit einer zweiten Dicke umfasst, wobei die zweite größer als die erste Dicke ist.It is furthermore advantageous that the second leg comprises a first section with a first thickness extending from the decorative panel to the body and a section with a second thickness extending along the side wall, the second being larger than the first thickness.
So kann der Bereich des Abdeckelementes, der bei offener Tür den Spalt zwischen der Tür und einer benachbarten Möbelfront versperrt, eine ausreichende Steifigkeit aufweisen, um sicherzustellen, dass er nicht versehentlich von einem Finger beiseite gedrückt wird, andererseits kann der Abschnitt mit der zweiten Dicke flexibel genug gehalten werden, so dass sich das Abdeckelement der Bewegung der Tür folgend verformen kann, ohne dass hierfür ein nennenswerter Kraftaufwand seitens des Benutzers erforderlich ist.The area of the cover element that blocks the gap between the door and an adjacent furniture front when the door is open can have sufficient rigidity to ensure that it is not accidentally pressed aside by a finger, on the other hand, the section with the second thickness can be flexible enough to be held so that the cover element can deform following the movement of the door, without requiring any significant effort on the part of the user.
Um eine genaue Anpassung der Position der Dekorplatte an benachbarte Möbelfronten zu ermöglichen, ist die Dekorplatte vorzugsweise in drei Raumrichtungen, zumindest aber in Breitenrichtung der Tür, justierbar. Entsprechend sollte auch das Abdeckelement justierbar sein, um eine sichere Funktion zu gewährleisten.In order to allow an exact adjustment of the position of the decorative panel to neighboring furniture fronts, the decorative panel is preferably in three spatial directions, or at least in the width direction of the door, adjustable. Accordingly, the cover element should also be adjustable in order to ensure reliable functioning.
Eine Justierbarkeit des Abdeckelementes ist einer zweiten bevorzugten Ausgestaltung zufolge vorteilhaft erreichbar, indem das Abdeckelement zwischen sich parallel zu der Dekorplatte erstreckenden Klemmbacken des Trägerteiles und eines Klemmteiles lösbar eingeklemmt ist. Alternativ wäre zwar auch denkbar, das Abdeckelement wie bei der oben beschriebenen ersten Ausgestaltung unmittelbar zwischen dem Trägerteil und der Dekorplatte zu klemmen, in diesem Fall kann allerdings eine übermäßige Klemmkraft zu einer Überbeanspruchung der Dekorplatte und damit zu deren Beschädigung führen.According to a second preferred embodiment, adjustability of the cover element can advantageously be achieved by releasably clamping the cover element between clamping jaws of the carrier part, which extend parallel to the decorative plate, and a clamping part. Alternatively, it would also be conceivable to clamp the cover element directly between the carrier part and the decorative plate, as in the first embodiment described above, in this case, however, an excessive clamping force can lead to excessive stress on the decorative plate and thus to its damage.
Ein platzsparender Aufbau ist realisierbar, wenn das Klemmteil durch Schrauben gegen eine seitliche Flanke der Tür gedrückt gehalten ist und das Klemmteil in Bezug auf das Trägerteil in eine Richtung verschieblich geführt ist, in der eine Annäherung des Klemmteiles an die Flanke eine gleichzeitige Annäherung der Klemmbacken erzwingt. Wenn so durch Anziehen der Schrauben das Klemmteil gegen die Flanke gezogen wird, wird gleichzeitig das Abdeckelement zwischen den Klemmbacken festgeklemmt.A space-saving structure can be achieved if the clamping part is held pressed against a side flank of the door by screws and the clamping part is displaceably guided in relation to the support part in a manner in which an approach of the clamping part to the flank forces the clamping jaws to approach simultaneously . If the clamping part is pulled against the flank by tightening the screws, the cover element is clamped between the clamping jaws at the same time.
Die Verschiebung des Klemmteiles ist vorzugsweise durch wenigstens eine der Dekorplatte zugewandte Schrägfläche geführt, die an einer sich von der Flanke fort erstreckenden Lasche des Trägerteiles gebildet ist.The displacement of the clamping part is preferably performed by at least one inclined surface facing the decorative plate, which is formed on a tab of the carrier part which extends away from the flank.
Das Trägerteil und das Klemmteil haben vorzugsweise jeweils eine parallel zu der seitlichen Flanke der Tür langgestreckte Grundplatte. Das Klemmteil kann dann auf einfache Weise mit Hilfe wenigstens einer eine Öffnung des Trägerteiles durchsetzenden Schraube gehalten sein.The carrier part and the clamping part preferably each have an elongated base plate parallel to the side flank of the door. The clamping part can then be held in a simple manner with the aid of at least one screw passing through an opening in the carrier part.
Ein besonders kompakter Aufbau ist realisierbar, wenn die Grundplatte des Klemmteiles auf einer Seite einen in die Öffnung des Trägerteiles eingreifenden Vorsprung und auf der anderen Seite eine einen Kopf der Schraube aufnehmende Vertiefung aufweist.A particularly compact structure can be realized if the base plate of the clamping part has on one side a projection which engages in the opening of the carrier part and on the other side a recess which receives a head of the screw.
Es können mehrere der Trägerteile an entgegengesetzten Flanken der Tür angeordnet sein. Dabei brauchen nur die Trägerteile an der scharnierseitigen Flanke mit Klemmteilen bestückt zu sein.Several of the carrier parts can be arranged on opposite flanks of the door. Only the carrier parts on the hinge-side flank need to be equipped with clamping parts.
Vorzugsweise weist jedes Trägerteil ferner eine Klemme auf, die ein den Spalt zwischen Tür und Dekorplatte überdeckendes Profil aufnimmt.Each carrier part preferably also has a clamp which receives a profile covering the gap between the door and the decorative panel.

An den seitlichen Kanten der Grundplatte 5, benachbart zu den seitlichen Flanken 12 der Tür 1, sind aus der Ebene der Grundplatte 5 zwei Laschen 13 zur Tür 1 hin ausgekröpft; sie sind mit eingeprägten Krallen 11 versehen.At the lateral edges of the
Eine Mehrzahl von Löchern 14 der Grundplatte 5 ist vorgesehen, um mit Hilfe von hindurchgesteckten Schrauben eine Dekorplatte 15 an der Grundplatte anliegend zu befestigen. Wenn dies geschehen ist, bilden die Laschen 13 jeweils zusammen mit der gegenüberliegenden Dekorplatte 15 zu den Flanken 12 der Tür 1 hin offene Stecknuten, in welche die Krallen 11 vorspringen.A plurality of
An den seitlichen Flanken 12 der geräteseitigen Türplatte 1 sind mehrere jeweils in 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 Langloches an der Schraube 7 in einem justierbaren Abstand von der Tür 1 festlegbar. Zwischen den zwei Schenkeln 17, 18 ist an dem Montagewinkel ein gegenüber dem zweiten Schenkel 18 parallel versetzter Zwischenabschnitt 19 geformt, von dem wiederum zwei Krallen 11 vorspringen.On the side flanks 12 of the device-
Ein in der Figur 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 von der Seite her verschiebbar eingreift. 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 18 in diesen.A shown in the figure behind the
Der festeren Verankerung wegen ist das Sackgewinde für die Schraube 7 in der Tür 1 durch einen massiven, in das expandierte Polymermaterial 23 eingelassenen und an der Außenhaut der Tür 1 befestigten massiven Kunststoffkörper 24 gebildet.Because of the stronger anchoring, the blind thread for the
In eine einerseits von dem Zwischenabschnitt 19, andererseits von der Dekorplatte 15 begrenzte Stecknut 25 ist ein erster Schenkel 26 eines Kunststoff-Strangprofils 27 von winkelförmigem Querschnitt eingesteckt und durch Reibschluss sowie mit Hilfe der in die Stecknut 25 vorspringenden Krallen 11 gehalten. Die Einstecktiefe ist so gewählt, dass ein ein Folienscharnier 29, das den Schenkel 27 mit einem zweiten Schenkel 28 verbindet, unmittelbar an der seitlichen Kante der Dekorplatte 15 zu liegen kommt.A
Der zweite Schenkel 28 erstreckt sich entlang der Flanke 12 der Tür 1 bis in einen Spalt 30 zwischen der Seitenwand des Korpus 3 und dem benachbarten Möbel 8. Der Schenkel 28 ist in zwei Abschnitte gegliedert, einen dem Folienscharnier 29 benachbarten, dicken und dementsprechend steifen Abschnitt 31, der sich vor der Flanke 12 der Tür 1 her zum Korpus 3 hin erstreckt, und einen daran anschließenden, dünnen und flexibleren Abschnitt 32, der zwischen den Korpus 3 und das benachbarte Möbel 8 eingreift.The
Da das Strangprofil 27 in dem Folienscharnier 29 leicht biegsam ist, setzt es dem Öffnen der Tür 1 keinen nennenswerten Widerstand entgegen. Die Steifigkeit des Abschnitts 31 verhindert hingegen wirksam nicht nur ein versehentliches Eindringen von Fingern in den Spalt 34, sondern hindert auch ein kleines Kind, das sich der Gefahr nicht bewusst ist, wirksam daran, seine Finger absichtlich in den Spalt 34 zu stecken.Since the extruded

Die Breite des Abschnitts 31 ist so bemessen, dass, wenn das Folienscharnier 29 vor das Möbel 8 rückt, der dünne Abschnitt 32 die vordere Ecke des Möbels 8 erreicht hat, so dass, wenn sich das Folienscharnier 29 in seitliche Richtung vor das Möbel 8 bewegt, der Schenkel 28 dem nachgeben kann, indem sich der Abschnitt 32 in seinem vorderen Bereich verbiegt. Der Aufbau des Schenkels 28 aus den unterschiedlich dicken und unterschiedlichen steifen Abschnitten 31, 32 verleiht dem Schenkel 28 insgesamt ein hohes Maß an Steifigkeit, was sicher stellt, dass dieser beim Schließen der Tür 1 zuverlässig zurück in den Spalt 30 einfährt. Es besteht keine Gefahr eines Steckenbleibens und anschließendem Zerknickens des Schenkels zwischen dem Möbel 8 und der Flanke 12 der Tür 1.The width of the

Das Klemmteil 51 ist wie der Montagewinkel 50 aus einem Blech ausgestanzt und geformt. In einer langgestreckten Grundplatte 62 des Klemmteils 51 sind fünf nach oben offene Ausschnitte 63, 64, 64, 65, 65 gebildet. Der breite zentrale Ausschnitt 63 ist ausgerichtet auf den Ausschnitt 53 des Montagewinkels 50; die zwei hierzu benachbarten, kleinen Ausschnitte 64 sind vorgesehen, um die Laschen 55 des Montagewinkels aufzunehmen, und die äußeren Ausschnitte 65 sind auf die Ausschnitte 54 des Montagewinkels ausgerichtet. Die Ausschnitte 65 sind in einer U-förmigen Vertiefung 66 der Grundplatte 62 gebildet; ein zu der Vertiefung 66 komplementärer Vorsprung an der Rückseite der Grundplatte 62 greift im montierten Zustand in die Ausschnitte 54 des Montagewinkels ein.Like the mounting
