Description

Kältegerät mit höhenverstellbarem Absteller Refrigerating appliance with height-adjustable stand
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Kältegerät mit einem einen Innenraum umschließenden Gehäuse und einem Absteller, der in dem Innenraum durch Arme höhenverstellbar gehalten ist. Ein solches Kältegerät ist aus DE 101 53 625 A1 bekannt.The present invention relates to a refrigerator with a housing enclosing a housing and a stand, which is held vertically adjustable in the interior by arms. Such a refrigeration device is known from DE 101 53 625 A1.
Der Absteller ist bei diesem bekannten Kältegerät ein Fachboden, der an gegenüberliegenden Seitenwänden des Korpus mit Hilfe von jeweils zwei Armen pro Seitenwand gehalten ist, wobei die Arme jeweils um parallele gehäusefeste erste Achsen schwenkbar sind und an an dem Fachboden feste zweite Achsen drehbar an diesen angelenkt sind. Die Abstellplatte kann zwei stabile horizontale Stellungen einnehmen, wobei in der unteren der beiden Stellungen die Arme unter dem Gewicht des Fachbodens frei herabhängen und in der oberen Stellung die Arme hochgeschwenkt sind, so dass die zweiten Achsen höher als die ersten Achsen und näher als diese an einer Rückwand des Korpus liegen. In dieser höheren Stellung ist die Abstellplatte an der Rückwand des Korpus abgestützt.The stand is in this known refrigerator a shelf, which is held on opposite side walls of the body by means of two arms per side wall, the arms are each pivotable about parallel housing-fixed first axes and hinged to fixed to the shelf second axes rotatably connected thereto are. The storage tray can assume two stable horizontal positions, wherein in the lower of the two positions the arms hang freely under the weight of the shelf and in the upper position the arms are swung up, so that the second axes are higher than the first axes and closer than this a back wall of the body lie. In this higher position, the storage tray is supported on the rear wall of the body.
Zusätzlich zu den beiden horizontalen Stellungen kann die Abstellplatte des bekannten Kältegerätes auch zwei abschüssige Stellungen einnehmen, wobei in diesen Stellungen von zwei in einer gleichen Seitenwand verankerten Armen jeweils einer hochgeschwenkt und der andere heruntergeschwenkt ist. Eine solche abschüssige Stellung kann zweckmäßig sein, wenn zum Beispiel rollfähiges Kühlgut auf dem Fachboden gelagert werden soll, dieser eine hochgezogene Vorderkante hat, die verhindert, dass das Kühlgut in der abschüssigen Stellung herunterfällt, und sichergestellt sein soll, dass das rollfähige Kühlgut jederzeit an der Vorderkante des Fachbodens gut zugänglich ist. Die Fähigkeit des bekannten Fachbodens, eine abschüssige Stellung einzunehmen, führt allerdings zu dem Problem, dass wenn der bekannte Fachboden im beladenen Zustand höhenverstellt werden soll, genau darauf geachtet werden muss, dass dieser nicht kippt, da anderenfalls Gefahr besteht, dass Kühlgut herunterfällt.In addition to the two horizontal positions, the storage tray of the known refrigeration device can also occupy two sloping positions, wherein in these positions of two anchored in a same side wall arms each one swung up and the other is swung down. Such a sloping position may be useful if, for example, rollable refrigerated goods to be stored on the shelf, this has a raised leading edge, which prevents the refrigerated goods falls down in the downhill position, and should ensure that the rollable refrigerated goods at any time at the Leading edge of the shelf is easily accessible. The ability of the known shelf to take a downhill position, however, leads to the problem that if the known shelf in the loaded state is to be adjusted in height, it must be ensured that it does not tip, otherwise there is a danger that refrigerated goods fall.
Eine bereist aus DE 101 53 625 A1 bekannte Lösung, die das Erreichen einer stabilen gekippten Stellung verhindert, ist, an jeder Seite des Fachbodens drei schwenkbare Arme vorzusehen. Hierdurch kann zwar eine starke Schrägstellung des Fachbodens verhindert werden, nicht aber eine Instabilität der Orientierung des Fachbodens, wenn die ersten und zweiten Achsen aller Arme in einer gleichen Ebene liegen.A well-known from DE 101 53 625 A1 known solution that prevents the achievement of a stable tilted position is to provide three pivotable arms on each side of the shelf. Although this prevents a strong inclination of the shelf but not an instability of the orientation of the shelf when the first and second axes of all arms are in the same plane.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist, ein Kältegerät mit höhenverstellbarem Fachboden der eingangs genannten Art anzugeben, bei dem während der gesamten Höhenver- Stellbewegung des Kühlgutträgers ein Kippen ausgeschlossen ist.Object of the present invention is to provide a refrigeration device with height-adjustable shelf of the type mentioned, in which a tilting is excluded during the entire vertical displacement movement of the refrigerated goods.
Die Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, dass die Arme durch eine Kupplungsvorrichtung verbunden sind, die in einer Stellung, in der die ersten und zweiten Achsen der Arme in einer gleichen Ebene liegen, eine gegensinnige Schwenkbewegung der Arme sperrt. Diese Lösung basiert auf der Einsicht, dass die Platte selbst bereits eine Kupplungsvorrichtung darstellt, die nur gleichsinnige Schwenkbewegungen der Arme zulässt, so lange die Arme nicht in einer gleichen Ebene liegen. Eine ergänzende Kopplungsvorrichtung braucht daher nur in dieser kritischen Stellung wirksam zu sein.The object is achieved in that the arms are connected by a coupling device which blocks in a position in which the first and second axes of the arms lie in a same plane, an opposite pivotal movement of the arms. This solution is based on the insight that the plate itself is already a coupling device that allows only the same direction pivotal movements of the arms, as long as the arms are not in a same plane. A supplementary coupling device therefore only needs to be effective in this critical position.
Einer ersten Ausgestaltung zufolge kann die Kopplungsvorrichtung ein an dritte Achsen der Arme angelenktes Gestänge sein, wobei die drei Achsen jedes Armes die Ecken eines Dreiecks definieren. Ein solches Gestänge würde für sich allein zwar eine gegensinnige Schwenkbewegung der Arme zulassen, wenn die ersten und dritten Achsen in einer gleichen Ebene liegen; wenn dies der Fall ist, ist jedoch die Kopplung durch den Absteller selber wirksam, die eine gleichsinnige Drehung der Arme erzwingt.According to a first embodiment, the coupling device may be a linkage articulated to third axes of the arms, the three axes of each arm defining the corners of a triangle. Such a linkage would in itself allow an opposite pivotal movement of the arms when the first and third axes are in the same plane; if this is the case, however, the coupling by the stand itself is effective, which forces a rotation of the arms in the same direction.
Alternativen Ausgestaltungen zufolge kann die Kopplungsvorrichtung auch ein Zahnradgetriebe oder ein Riemengetriebe sein. Ein solches Getriebe ist geeignet, um in jeder beliebigen Orientierung der Arme eine gleichsinnige Schwenkbewegung zu erzwingen.According to alternative embodiments, the coupling device may also be a gear transmission or a belt transmission. Such a transmission is suitable to force in any orientation of the arms a same direction pivotal movement.
Der Absteller ist vorzugsweise zwischen zwei stabilen, unterschiedlich hohen Endstellungen über eine labile Gleichgewichtsstellung geführt. In dieser labilen Gleichgewichtsstellung liegt jeweils die zweite Achse jedes Armes vertikal über dessen erster Achse.The supporter is preferably guided between two stable, different high end positions over a labile equilibrium position. In this labile equilibrium position, the second axis of each arm lies vertically above its first axis.
Die Schwenkbewegungsfreiheit der Arme aus der labilen Gleichgewichtslage ist vorzugsweise in jeder Richtung kleiner als 220°. Dadurch sind die Endstellungen ohne Verriegelung stabil. Um die Höhendifferenz zwischen den zwei Endstellungen groß zu machen, ist die Schwenkbewegungsfreiheit der Arme aus der labilen Gleichgewichtslage in eine erste Richtung vorzugsweise nahe Null und in die entgegengesetzte Richtung nahe 220°. Zweckmäßigerweise beträgt die Schwenkbewegungsfreiheit der Arme zwischen den beiden Endstellungen insgesamt 220°.The pivoting freedom of the arms from the unstable equilibrium position is preferably less than 220 ° in each direction. As a result, the end positions without locking are stable. In order to make the height difference between the two end positions large, the swinging freedom of the arms from the unstable equilibrium position in a first direction is preferably close to zero and in the opposite direction near 220 °. Conveniently, the pivoting freedom of the arms between the two end positions is 220 °.
Zur Absicherung kann eine Verriegelung des Abstellers wenigstens in der höheren der beiden Endstellungen vorgesehen sein.To secure a locking of the store may be provided at least in the higher of the two end positions.
Die Kopplungsvorrichtung ist vorzugsweise in einer Aussparung einer Innenwand des Gerätes aufgenommen. Auch die Arme können in der Aussparung aufgenommen sein, so dass eine im Wesentlichen ebene, reinigungsfreundliche Innenwand des Gerätes erhalten wird.The coupling device is preferably received in a recess of an inner wall of the device. Also, the arms can be accommodated in the recess, so that a substantially flat, easy to clean inner wall of the device is obtained.
Zu dem gleichen Zweck ist es auch vorteilhaft, wenn die Arme als zu den ersten Achsen konzentrische Kreisscheiben ausgebildet sind.For the same purpose, it is also advantageous if the arms are designed as circular disks concentric with the first axes.
Der Absteller kann eine am Korpus des Gehäuses aufgehängte Abstellplatte sein, es kann sich aber auch um einen an der Tür des Kältegerätes aufgehängten Türabsteller handeln.The Absteller can be a suspended on the body of the housing storage shelf, but it can also be a suspended on the door of the refrigerator door rack.
In letztem Falle weist die Tür zweckmäßigerweise in den Innenraum vorspringende vertikale Holme auf, und die Arme sind an zueinander parallelen Flanken der Holme angebracht.In the latter case, the door expediently in the interior protruding vertical spars, and the arms are attached to mutually parallel flanks of the spars.
Während bei einer am Korpus aufgehängten Abstellplatte zwei an einer gleichen Seitenwand des Korpus angebrachte Arme im Allgemeinen in Tiefenrichtung beabstandet sein werden, sind im Falle eines Türabstellers zwei an einer gleichen Flanke angeordnete Arme vorzugsweise vertikal beabstandet.While in a tray suspended from the shelf, two arms mounted on a same side wall of the body will generally be spaced in the depth direction, in the case of a door compartment two arms disposed on a same flank are preferably vertically spaced.

Fig. 1 zeigt einen schematischen Teilschnitt durch den Korpus eines Kältegerätes gemäß einer ersten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung. An einer Rückwand 2 des Korpus 1 ist ein flacher quaderförmiger Trägerblock 3 befestigt. Wie insbesondere in Fig. 2 zu sehen, sind an Seitenwänden des Trägerblocks 3 jeweils erste Enden von oberen und unteren Armen 4, 5 angelenkt. Zweite Enden der Arme 4, 5 sind an den Trägerblock flankierenden vertikalen Balken 6 angelenkt. Die Balken 6 sind fest verbunden mit einer Klemmfassung 7, in der ein Fachboden 8 in Form einer Platte aus Sicherheitsglas eingeklemmt gehalten ist.Fig. 1 shows a schematic partial section through the body of a refrigerator according to a first embodiment of the invention. On a rear wall 2 of the body 1, a flat block-shaped support block 3 is fixed. As can be seen in particular in FIG. 2, first ends of upper and lower arms 4, 5 are hinged to side walls of the carrier block 3. Second ends of the arms 4, 5 are hinged to the support block flanking vertical beam 6. The beams 6 are firmly connected to a clamping frame 7, in which a shelf 8 is held clamped in the form of a plate made of safety glass.
Die Arme 4, 5 sind zwischen einer in der Figur durchgezogen dargestellten angehobenen Stellung und einer gestrichelt dargestellten abgesenkten Stellung um 220° schwenkbar. In der angehobenen Stellung sind der Balken 6 und die Klemmfassung 7 unmittelbar an die Rückwand 2 des Korpus angelehnt und in dieser Stellung durch das Eigengewicht des Fachbodens 8 sowie gegebenenfalls das Gewicht von darauf abgestelltem Kühlgut gehalten. In der abgesenkten Stellung ist die Klemmfassung 7 an der Vorderseite des Trägerblocks 3 abgestützt.The arms 4, 5 are pivotable about 220 ° between a raised position shown in the figure and a lowered position shown in dashed lines. In the raised position of the beam 6 and the clamping frame 7 are directly adjacent to the rear wall 2 of the body and held in this position by the weight of the shelf 8 and optionally the weight of refrigerated goods parked thereon. In the lowered position, the clamping frame 7 is supported on the front side of the support block 3.
Im Inneren des Trägerblocks 3 sind zwei Zahnräder 9 untergebracht, die jeweils drehfest mit den Enden der Arme 4, 5 verbunden sind und von einem Zahnriemen 10 umschlungen sind.Inside the support block 3, two gears 9 are housed, each rotatably connected to the ends of the arms 4, 5 and are surrounded by a toothed belt 10.
Um den Fachboden in eine gestrichelt dargestellte Stellung abzusenken, genügt es, diesen an seiner Vorderkante mit einer Hand zu ziehen und dann langsam abzusenken, bis die Rückseite der Klemmfassung 7 an der Vorderseite des Trägerblocks 3 zur Anlage kommt.In order to lower the shelf into a position shown in dashed lines, it is sufficient to pull it at its front edge with one hand and then slowly lower it until the back of the clamping frame 7 comes to rest on the front of the support block 3.
Um zu verhindern, dass bei unachtsamer Handhabung beim Absenken die Klemmfassung 7 unsanft gegen den Trägerblock 3 anstößt und dadurch Kühlgut auf dem Fachboden 8 umfällt, können zusätzlich noch Dämpfungsmittel wie etwa eine an einer die Zahnräder 9 mit den Armen 4, 5 verbindenden Welle angreifende Reibungsbremse vorgesehen sein.In order to prevent careless handling when lowering the clamping frame 7 abruptly abuts against the support block 3 and thereby refrigerated falls on the shelf 8, additionally damping means such as on one of the gears 9 with the arms 4, 5 connecting shaft engaging friction brake be provided.
Einer ersten Abwandlung zufolge kann zur Absicherung des Fachbodens 8 in seiner angehobenen Stellung an der Rückwand 2 ein vertikal verschiebbar geführter Riegeln vorgesehen sein, der in seiner in Fig. 1 gezeigten Stellung einen Vorsprung 12 der Klemmfassung 7 umgreift, so dass der Fachboden 8 nur vorgezogen und abgesenkt werden kann, wenn zuvor der Riegel 11 angehoben wird. Der Riegel 1 1 hat an seiner Vorderseite eine abgeschrägte Flanke, die vom Vorsprung 12 hochgeschoben wird, wenn der Fachboden in die angehobene Stellung gebracht wird, so dass der Fachboden in dieser Stellung selbsttätig verriegelt wird. Einer zweiten Abwandlung zufolge sind anstelle des Riegels 1 1 am vorderen Rand des Fachbodens 8 zwei in Fig. 2 gezeigte langggestreckte Riegel 13 vorgesehen, die, von einer Feder auseinander getrieben, in der angehobenen und der abgesenkten Stellung des Fachbodens 8 in Aussparungen 14 in Seitenwänden 1 1 des Korpus 1 einrücken und so den Fachboden 8 in seiner Stellung sichern und abstützen.According to a first modification, to secure the shelf 8 in its raised position on the rear wall 2, a vertically displaceably guided bars may be provided, which in its position shown in FIG. 1 surrounds a projection 12 of the clamping frame 7, so that the shelf 8 is only preferred and can be lowered when previously the latch 11 is raised. The latch 1 1 has at its front a bevelled edge which is pushed up by the projection 12 when the shelf is brought into the raised position, so that the shelf is locked automatically in this position. According to a second modification, instead of the bolt 11 at the front edge of the shelf 8, there are two elongated bolts 13 shown in FIG. 2 which, driven apart by a spring, in the raised and lowered positions of the shelf 8 in recesses 14 in side walls 1 1 of the body 1 and thus secure the shelf 8 in its position and support.
Fig. 3 zeigt einen Schnitt durch den Korpus 1 eines erfindungsgemäßen Kältegerätes gemäß einer zweiten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung. In einer Seitenwand 1 1 des Korpus 1 ist eine Vertiefung gebildet, die von einem Deckel 16 mit zwei kreisrunden Öffnungen verdeckt ist. In den Öffnungen des Deckels 16 liegen zwei Kreisscheiben 17 frei, die in der Wand 1 1 um einen zu den Kreisscheiben 17 konzentrischen, von diesen verdeckten und daher gestrichelt dargestellten Achszapfen 18 drehbar sind.3 shows a section through the body 1 of a refrigerator according to the invention in accordance with a second embodiment of the invention. In a side wall 1 1 of the body 1, a recess is formed, which is covered by a lid 16 with two circular openings. In the openings of the lid 16 are two circular discs 17 free, which are rotatable in the wall 1 1 to a concentric to the circular discs 17, hidden by these and therefore shown in phantom axle 18.
Wie in Fig. 4 zu sehen, die eine Ansicht der Seitenwand 17 ohne den Deckel 16 zeigt, sind die Kreisscheiben 17 mit Zahnrädern 19 drehfest verbunden, die untereinander durch einen sie umschlingenden Zahnriemen 10 gekoppelt sind. Der Zahnriemen 10 könnte hier wie auch bei der Ausgestaltung der Figuren 1 und 2 durch ein Zahnradgetriebe ersetzt sein, das eine gleichsinnige, gleich schnelle Drehung der Kreisscheiben 17 bzw. der Arme 4, 5 gewährleistet.As can be seen in Fig. 4, which shows a view of the side wall 17 without the lid 16, the circular discs 17 are rotatably connected to gears 19, which are coupled to each other by a toothed belt 10 which wraps around them. The toothed belt 10 could be replaced here as well as in the embodiment of Figures 1 and 2 by a gear transmission, which ensures the same direction, same speed rotation of the circular discs 17 and the arms 4, 5.
Die Kreisscheiben 17 tragen jeweils einen exzentrischen Achszapfen 20, der in ein Achslager 21 an der Unterseite des Fachbodens 8 eingreift. Durch Drehung der Kreisscheiben 17 ist der Fachboden 8 zwischen zwei stabilen Stellungen in unterschiedlicher Höhe bewegbar, von denen die obere in Fig. 3 mit durchgezogenen, die untere mit gestrichelten Linien dargestellt ist. Die Drehung der Kreisscheiben 17 zwischen den zwei Stellungen, in Fig. 3 dargestellt durch Pfeile 22, beträgt 180°. Die Drehbewegungsfreiheit der Kreisscheiben 17 ist in der oberen Stellung durch einen unmittelbaren Kontakt des Fachbodens 8 mit der Rückwand 2 des Korpus 1 begrenzt; in der unteren Stellung durch einen Kontakt mit einem von der Rückwand 2 in den Innenraum vorspringenden Sims 23.The circular discs 17 each carry an eccentric axle journal 20, which engages in a journal bearing 21 on the underside of the shelf 8. By rotation of the circular disks 17 of the shelf 8 is movable between two stable positions at different heights, of which the upper in Fig. 3 with solid, the lower is shown with dashed lines. The rotation of the circular disks 17 between the two positions, represented in FIG. 3 by arrows 22, is 180 °. The rotational freedom of the circular discs 17 is limited in the upper position by an immediate contact of the shelf 8 with the rear wall 2 of the body 1; in the lower position by contact with a ledge 23 projecting from the rear wall 2 into the interior.
Fig. 5 zeigt eine zu Fig. 3 analoge Ansicht gemäß einer dritten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung. Auch hier sind in einer von einem Deckel 16 verschlossenen Aussparung einer Seitenwand 11 zwei Kreisscheiben 17 drehbar gelagert, die exzentrisch abstehende, in Achslagern 21 eines Fachbodens 8 aufgenommene Achszapfen 20 tragen. Wie in Fig. 6 zu sehen, die einen Schnitt entlang der Linie Vl-Vl von Fig. 5 zeigt, sind die Kreisscheiben 17 mit Hilfe von Wälzlagern 24 in dem Deckel 16 leicht drehbar gehalten. An einer der Seitenwand 1 1 zugewandten Seite der Kreisscheiben 17 steht jeweils ein Achszapfen 25 ab. Die Achszapfen 25 sind drehbar in Bohrungen an den Enden einer hinter dem Deckel 16 verborgenen Stange 26 aufgenommen. Die Wälzlager 24 und die Achszapfen 20, 25 legen an jeder Kreisscheibe 17 drei Achsen fest, die, wie in Fig. 5 zu sehen, ein Dreieck 27 aufspannen, wobei diejenige Ecke des Dreiecks, die durch die Drehachse 28 der Wälzlager 24 definiert ist, in etwa rechtwinklig ist.FIG. 5 shows a view analogous to FIG. 3 according to a third embodiment of the invention. Again, in a closed by a cover 16 recess of a side wall 11, two circular discs 17 are rotatably mounted, the eccentrically projecting, recorded in axle bearings 21 of a shelf 8 axle journal 20 carry. As in FIG. 6 5, the circular discs 17 are held by means of rolling bearings 24 in the lid 16 easily rotatably held, which shows a section along the line Vl-Vl of FIG. On one of the side wall 1 1 facing side of the circular discs 17 is a respective axle journal 25 from. The stub axles 25 are rotatably received in bores at the ends of a bar 26 hidden behind the lid 16. The rolling bearings 24 and the journals 20, 25 define on each disc 17 three axes which, as seen in Fig. 5, span a triangle 27, wherein that corner of the triangle, which is defined by the axis of rotation 28 of the rolling bearing 24, is approximately at right angles.
Wie man sich leicht vorstellen kann, wäre es ohne eine Kopplung durch die Stange 26 möglich, die Kreisscheiben 17 in entgegengesetzte Richtungen zu drehen und so eineAs one can easily imagine, it would be possible without a coupling by the rod 26 to rotate the circular discs 17 in opposite directions and so on
Schrägstellung des Fachbodens 8 herbeizuführen, wenn die Achsen 28 und dieSlanting of the tray 8 bring about when the axes 28 and the
Achszapfen 20 in einer gleichen Ebene liegen. Wenn dies der Fall ist, liegen jedoch dieAchszapfen 20 lie in a same plane. If this is the case, however, are the
Achszapfen 25 außerhalb dieser Ebene, und ihre Kopplung über die Stange 26 erzwingt auch in dieser Stellung eine gleichsinnige Drehung, so dass eine Schrägstellung des Fachbodens 8 ausgeschlossen ist.Axle pin 25 outside this plane, and their coupling on the rod 26 forces in this position, a same direction rotation, so that an inclination of the shelf 8 is excluded.
Die bislang anhand eines Fachbodens als Beispiel für einen höhenverstellbaren Absteller beschriebene Erfindung ist auch auf Türabsteller anwendbar, wie im Folgenden anhand der Figuren 7 bis 10 erläutert wird.The invention described so far on the basis of a shelf as an example of a height-adjustable storage device is also applicable to door racks, as will be explained below with reference to FIGS 7 to 10.
Fig. 7 zeigt einen horizontalen Schnitt durch eine Kältegerätetür 29, in welchem ein Türabsteller 30 in Draufsicht zu sehen ist. Der Türabsteller 30 ist über schwenkbare Arme 31 , 32 an von der Tür 29 ins Innere eines Kältegerätes abstehenden vertikalen Holmen 33 aufgehängt. Wie in Fig. 8 und 9 zu sehen, sind zwischen jedem Holm 33 und dem Türabsteller 30 zwei Arme 31 , 32 übereinander angeordnet. Die Arme 31 , 32 tragen jeweils einen in eine Aussparung des Holms 33 drehbar eingreifenden Zapfen 34 und einen entsprechend in eine Aussparung des Türabstellers 30 eingreifenden Zapfen 35, die jeweils eine in Bezug auf die Tür 29 bzw. den Türabsteller 30 feste Drehachse definieren. Die zwei Arme 31 , 32 sind untereinander durch eine Stange 36 über jeweils eine dritte Achse definierende Zapfen 37 verbunden. Auch hier spannen die drei Achsen ein Dreieck auf. Wie in Fig. 10 zu sehen, hat die Stange 36 eine gekröpften Verlauf und erstreckt sich einerseits zwischen dem oberen Arm 31 und einer Seitenwand des Türabstellers 30 und andererseits zwischen dem unteren Arm 32 und dem benachbarten Holm 33. Die Kröpfung verhindert, dass die Stange 36 bei der Verstellbewegung des Türabstellers 30 gegen einen der Zapfen 34, 35 anstößt und so die Verstellbewegung behindert.Fig. 7 shows a horizontal section through a refrigerator door 29, in which a door rack 30 can be seen in plan view. The door racks 30 is suspended by pivotable arms 31, 32 on projecting from the door 29 into the interior of a refrigerator vertical uprights 33. As can be seen in FIGS. 8 and 9, two arms 31, 32 are arranged one above the other between each spar 33 and the door rack 30. The arms 31, 32 each carry a pin 34, which rotatably engages in a recess in the spar 33, and a pin 35, which engages in a recess of the door compartment 30, each of which defines a fixed axis of rotation with respect to the door 29 or the door shelf 30. The two arms 31, 32 are interconnected by a rod 36 via a respective third axis defining pin 37. Again, the three axes span a triangle. As seen in Fig. 10, the rod 36 has a cranked course and extends on the one hand between the upper arm 31 and a side wall of the door compartment 30 and on the other hand between the lower arm 32 and the adjacent spar 33. The offset prevents the rod 36 against the one of the pins 34, 35 abuts during the adjustment movement of the door compartment 30 and thus impedes the adjustment movement.
An der Innenseite der Tür 29 ist eine Stufe 38 so platziert, dass der Türabsteller 30 in angehobener Stellung die Türinnenseite oberhalb der Stufe 38 und in abgesenkter Stellung unterhalb dieser Stufe berührt. So bildet in beiden Stellungen die Türinnenseite einen Anschlag, der die Bewegungsfreiheit des Türabstellers 30 begrenzt. In beiden Stellungen ist der Türabsteller 30 durch sein eigenes Gewicht und das seines Inhalts gegen die Innenseite der Tür gedrückt, so dass seine Position stabil ist. On the inside of the door 29, a step 38 is placed so that the door rack 30 touches the door inner side above the step 38 in the raised position and in the lowered position below this step. Thus, in both positions, the inside of the door forms a stop which limits the freedom of movement of the door compartment 30. In both positions, the door rack 30 is pressed by its own weight and that of its contents against the inside of the door, so that its position is stable.
