Description

Haushaltsgerät mit Trägersystem Household appliance with carrier system
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein schrankartiges Haushaltsgerät, insbesondere einen Kühl- oder Gefrierschrank, mit einem Innenraum, in dem ein höhenverstellbares Trägersystem montiert ist. Ein solches Haushaltsgerät ist zum Beispiel aus DE 10 2004 058199 A1 bekannt. Das Trägersystem dieses Haushaltsgerätes umfasst eine mit einer Mehrzahl von Raststufen versehene vertikale Schiene und wenigstens einen Tragarm, der wenigstens einen in eine der Raststufen eingreifenden Vorsprung aufweist.The present invention relates to a cabinet-like household appliance, in particular a refrigerator or freezer, with an interior space in which a height-adjustable carrier system is mounted. Such a household appliance is known, for example, from DE 10 2004 058199 A1. The carrier system of this household appliance comprises a vertical rail provided with a plurality of latching steps and at least one support arm which has at least one projection engaging in one of the latching steps.
Ein Problem dieser Konstruktion ist, dass die Schiene durch die vom Tragarm übermittelte Last beträchtlichen Biegemomenten ausgesetzt ist und einer festen Verankerung an derA problem with this design is that the rail is subjected to considerable bending moments due to the load transmitted by the support arm, and that it is firmly anchored to the rail
Wand bedarf, um die auftretenden Lasten tragen zu können. Eine einfacheWall needs to be able to carry the loads occurring. A simple one
Schraubbefestigung der Schiene an der Wand wird als ästhetisch unbefriedigend empfunden, da die Köpfe der Schrauben im Innenraum sichtbar bleiben. Ziel der vorliegenden Erfindung ist daher, ein Haushaltsgerät der eingangs angegebenen Art zu schaffen, bei dem die vertikale Schiene fest, aber unsichtbar an der Wand verankert ist.Screw fastening the rail to the wall is perceived as aesthetically unsatisfactory because the heads of the screws remain visible in the interior. The aim of the present invention is therefore to provide a household appliance of the type specified, in which the vertical rail is firmly but invisibly anchored to the wall.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst, indem die Schiene ein durch wenigstens eine Schraube an der Wand unbeweglich gehaltenes Profilelement und eine Leiste umfasst, die in dem Profilelement zwischen einer Stellung, in der die Schraube durch eine an einer wandabgewandten Seite des Profilelementes gebildete Öffnung hindurch zugänglich ist, und einer Stellung, in der die Schraube hinter der Leiste verborgen ist, vertikal bewegbar ist.The object is achieved by the rail comprises a by at least one screw on the wall immovably held profile element and a bar in the profile element between a position in which the screw is accessible through an opening formed on a side facing away from the wall profile element , And a position in which the screw is hidden behind the bar, is vertically movable.
Wenn die Raststufen jeweils Durchbrüche sind, kann die Schraube durch einen der Durchbrüche hindurch zugänglich angeordnet sein, so dass sie auch dann, wenn sie nicht von der Leiste verdeckt ist, unauffällig platziert ist.If the latching steps are each breakthroughs, the screw can be arranged accessible through one of the apertures, so that even if it is not covered by the bar, it is placed inconspicuously.
Die Raststufen können in der verschiebbaren Leiste selbst gebildet sein.The latching steps can be formed in the sliding bar itself.
Wenn die Raststufen in einem Steg des Profilelementes gebildet sind, kann die Leiste zwischen der die Schiene haltenden Wand und dem Steg angeordnet sein. Einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung zufolge ist an einer der Wand zugewandten Seite des Profilelementes eine Öffnung gebildet, und das Profilelement ist an der Wand bei gelöster Schraube zwischen einer Stellung, in der ein Kopf der Schraube einen weiten Eingangsabschnitt der Öffnung passiert, und einer Stellung verschiebbar, in der der Kopf an einem engen Abschnitt der Öffnung gefangen ist. Dies erlaubt es, die Schrauben noch vor dem Profilelement an der Wand anzubringen und das Profilelement anschließend an den Schrauben aufzuhängen. Es müssen dann an der Vorderseite des Profilelementes keine Öffnungen vorhanden sein, die weit genug sind, um den Schraubenkopf durchzulassen.If the latching steps are formed in a web of the profile element, the strip between the rail holding wall and the web can be arranged. According to a preferred embodiment, an opening is formed on a side of the profile element facing the wall, and the profile element is displaceable on the wall with the screw loosened between a position in which a head of the screw passes a wide input portion of the opening, and a position the head is caught in a narrow section of the opening. This makes it possible to attach the screws before the profile element on the wall and then suspend the profile element to the screws. It must then be present on the front of the profile element no openings which are wide enough to pass the screw head.
Vorzugsweise sind die Raststufen unauffällig an einer Bodenfläche einer zum Innenraum hin offenen Nut angeordnet.Preferably, the latching steps are inconspicuously arranged on a bottom surface of a groove open towards the interior.
Diese Nut kann vorteilhafterweise hinterschnitten sein, und der Tragarm kann wenigstens einen in der hinterschnittenen Nut gefangenen Vorsprung aufweisen. So kann sich der Tragarm nicht ungewollt aus der Schiene lösen, und nach Lösen des Vorsprunges aus der Raststufe kann er bequem und sicher vertikal verschoben werden, wobei der Vorsprung in der hinterschnittenen Nut entlang gleitet.This groove can be advantageously undercut, and the support arm can have at least one caught in the undercut groove projection. Thus, the support arm can not unintentionally come off the rail, and after releasing the projection from the latching step, it can be moved vertically comfortably and safely, the projection slides in the undercut groove along.
Die vertikale Schiene kann an einer Tür des Haushaltsgerätes befestigt sein, wobei in diesem Fall der Tragarm zur Halterung eines Türabstellers dient; sie kann aber auch im Korpus des Haushaltsgerätes befestigt sein, um zur Halterung von Fachböden zu dienen.The vertical rail may be attached to a door of the household appliance, in which case the support arm is used to hold a door compartment; but it can also be mounted in the body of the household appliance to serve for holding shelves.
Vorzugsweise sind jeweils zwei vertikale Schienen und zwei zu einer starren Einheit verbundene Tragarme vorgesehen, die in jeweils eine der Schienen eingreifen. Wenn wenigstens eine der Schienen eine zum Innenraum offene vertikale Nut aufweist, in der sich eine Führungsvorsprung eines der Tragarme erstreckt, so vereinfacht dies das Beibehalten einer horizontalen Orientierung der Einheit beim Höhenverstellen, so dass, wenn eine gewünschte Höhe erreicht ist, die Vorsprünge beider Tragarme auf gleicher Höhe in Raststufen der Schiene eingreifen, ohne dass es hierfür besonderer Achtsamkeit seitens eines Benutzers bedarf. Weitere Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung von Ausführungsbeispielen unter Bezugnahme auf die beigefügten Figuren. Es zeigen:Preferably, two vertical rails and two connected to a rigid unit supporting arms are provided, which engage in each one of the rails. When at least one of the rails has a vertical groove open to the interior, in which extends a guide projection of one of the support arms, this simplifies maintaining a horizontal orientation of the unit in height adjustment, so that when a desired height is reached, the projections of both support arms intervene at the same level in latching steps of the rail, without requiring special attention on the part of a user for this purpose. Further features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description of embodiments with reference to the accompanying figures. Show it:

The strip 8 is provided at regular intervals with openings 9, one of which is shown in the section of Fig. 2.
Ein fragmentarisch in Draufsicht gezeigter Tragarm 10 ist mit zwei Haken 17 versehen, die in andere, tiefer liegende Durchbrüche 9 der Leiste 8 eingreifen.A fragmentary in plan view shown support arm 10 is provided with two hooks 17, which engage in other, deeper openings 9 of the strip 8.
Während sich das Außenprofil 7 über die gesamte Höhe des Innenbehälters 3 erstreckt, ist die Leiste 8 geringfügig kürzer. Wie in der Frontalansicht des oberen Bereiches derWhile the outer profile 7 extends over the entire height of the inner container 3, the bar 8 is slightly shorter. As in the frontal view of the upper area of the
Trägerschiene 6 in Fig. 3 zu sehen, reicht die Leiste 8 nicht bis ans obere Ende desTo see support rail 6 in Fig. 3, the bar 8 is not enough to the upper end of the
Außenprofils 7 heran. Daher ist die Leiste 8 in dem Außenprofil 7 vertikal verschiebbar und kann in eine Stellung angehoben werden, in der eine das Außenprofil 7 an derExternal profile 7 zoom. Therefore, the bar 8 is vertically displaceable in the outer profile 7 and can be raised to a position in which a the outer profile 7 at the
Rückwand 5 des Korpus 1 verankernde Schraube 1 1 , die in Fig. 3, weil von der Leiste 8 verdeckt, gestrichelt dargestellt ist, durch einen der Durchbrüche 9 hindurch zugänglich ist. Die Schraube 1 1 hat einen Kopfdurchmesser, der geringfügig kleiner als dieRear wall 5 of the body 1 anchoring screw 1 1, which is shown in Fig. 3, because of the bar 8, dashed lines, through one of the apertures 9 is accessible. The screw 1 1 has a head diameter that is slightly smaller than the
Abmessungen der Durchbrüche 9 ist, so dass, wenn die Schiene 8 geeignet angehoben ist, die Schraube 1 1 durch den Durchbruch 9 ins Innere der Trägerschiene 6 eingeführt und in ein rückseitiges Schraubloch eingeführt werden kann, um dadurch die Trägerschiene 6 an der Rückwand 5 zu verankern.Dimensions of the apertures 9 is, so that when the rail 8 is properly raised, the screw 1 1 can be inserted through the opening 9 into the interior of the support rail 6 and inserted into a back screw hole, thereby the support rail 6 on the rear wall 5 to anchor.
Im Allgemeinen ist eine Mehrzahl von Schrauben 1 1 an jeder Trägerschiene 6 vorgesehen, um sie an mehreren über ihre Höhe verteilten Punkten an der Rückwand 5 zu fixieren, so dass sich nicht Teile der Trägerschiene 6 aufgrund des von darin eingehängten Tragarmen 10 ausgeübten Drehmomentes vorwölben und über die Innenfläche der Rückwand 5 vorspringen. Die Schraublöcher an der Rückseite des Außenprofils 7 sind so positioniert, dass sie jeweils nur bei angehobener Leiste 8 zugänglich sind, wohingegen in abgesenkter Stellung der Leiste 8, wenn diese an einem unteren Ende der Trägerschiene 6 abgestützt ist, die Schraublöcher mit den darin angebrachten Schrauben 1 1 hinter der Leiste 8 verborgen sind.In general, a plurality of screws 1 1 provided on each support rail 6 to fix them at a plurality of points distributed over its height on the rear wall 5, so that not bulge parts of the support rail 6 due to the force exerted by supporting arms 10 torque and projecting beyond the inner surface of the rear wall 5. The screw holes on the back of the outer profile 7 are positioned so that they are accessible only when raised bar 8, whereas in the lowered position of the bar 8, when it is supported on a lower end of the support rail 6, the screw holes with the screws mounted therein 1 1 are hidden behind the bar 8.
Die Tragarme 10 eines Fachbodens 13 können als jeweils getrennt voneinander in die Trägerschienen 6 einhängbare Elemente ausgeführt sein, die sich über einen Großteil der Tiefe des Innenbehälters 3 erstrecken, so dass der Fachboden 13 lose darauf aufgelegt werden kann, wie in der Darstellung der Fig. 1 angedeutet.The support arms 10 of a shelf 13 can be designed as each separately suspended in the carrier rails 6 elements that extend over a majority of the depth of the inner container 3, so that the shelf 13 can be loosely placed on it, as in the illustration of FIG. 1 indicated.
Einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung zufolge stellen die Tragarme 10, wie in Fig. 2 gezeigt, gleichzeitig Längsstreben eines aus zwei Längsstreben und zwei Querstreben 15 gebildeten Rahmens 14 dar, in dem eine Trägerplatte 16, zum Beispiel eine Scheibe aus Sicherheitsglas, eingefasst ist. Die Fig. zeigt jeweils Bruchstücke der hinteren Querstrebe 15, der linken Längsstrebe 10 sowie der Trägerplatte 16.According to a preferred embodiment, the support arms 10, as shown in Fig. 2, at the same time longitudinal struts of a frame formed of two longitudinal struts and two cross members 15 frame 14, in which a support plate 16, for example, a pane of safety glass, is enclosed. The figure shows fragments of the rear cross member 15, the left longitudinal member 10 and the support plate 16, respectively.
Fig. 4 zeigt in einer perspektivischen Ansicht eine bevorzugte Weiterbildung der Trägerschiene 6. Diese Trägerschiene 6 ist im Querschnitt identisch mit der in Fig. 2 gezeigten. An einer Rückseite des Außenprofils 7 sind Schraublöcher 18 von schlüs- sellochähnlicher Gestalt gebildet, die jeweils einen weiten unteren Abschnitt 19 und einen engeren oberen Abschnitt 20 aufweisen. Der untere Abschnitt 19 ist so bemessen, dass ein Kopf der zur Befestigung der Trägerschiene 6 am Korpus 1 dienenden Schrauben 1 1 ihn frei passieren kann, wohingegen der engere Abschnitt 20 bemessen ist, um lediglich einen Schaft der Schraube 1 1 passieren zu lassen. Die Trägerschiene 6 ist geringfügig kürzer als die sie aufnehmende Nut 12 an der Rückwand 5 des Korpus 1. Dadurch ist es möglich, die Trägerschiene 6 zu montieren, indem zunächst die Schrauben 1 1 in der Rückwand 5 eingeschraubt werden, anschließend die Trägerschiene 6 über die Schrauben 1 1 gestülpt wird, so dass deren Köpfe jeweils den unteren Abschnitt 19 der Schraublöcher 18 passieren, und anschließend die nun in der Nut 12 der Rückwand 5 ein- liegende Trägerschiene 6 abgesenkt wird, so dass die Schäfte der Schrauben 11 in die engeren Abschnitte 20 der Schraublöcher 18 einrücken. In dieser Stellung wird wiederum die Leiste 8 angehoben, um die Köpfe der Schrauben 1 1 zugänglich zu machen, und die Schrauben 1 1 werden mit Hilfe eines durch einen der Durchbrüche 9 eingeführten Werkzeuges festgezogen. Da bei dieser Variante die Schrauben 1 1 nicht selbst die Durchbrüche 9 passieren müssen, können die Durchbrüche 9 schmaler gemacht werden, und auch die Breite des Zwischenraumes zwischen den zwei die Leiste 8 führenden Schenkeln des Außenprofils 7 kann enger gemacht werden als bei der Ausgestaltung der Fig. 2, was die Belastbarkeit der Trägerschiene 6 verbessert.FIG. 4 shows in a perspective view a preferred development of the carrier rail 6. This carrier rail 6 is identical in cross-section to that shown in FIG. 2. On a rear side of the outer profile 7 screw holes 18 are formed of keyhole-like shape, each having a wide lower portion 19 and a narrower upper portion 20. The lower portion 19 is dimensioned so that a head of serving for fastening the support rail 6 on the body 1 screws 1 1 can pass him freely, whereas the narrower portion 20 is dimensioned to pass only a shaft of the screw 1 1. The support rail 6 is slightly shorter than the receiving groove 12 on the rear wall 5 of the body 1. This makes it possible to mount the support rail 6 by first the screws 1 1 are screwed into the rear wall 5, then the support rail 6 on the Screws 1 1 is slipped so that their heads each pass through the lower portion 19 of the screw holes 18, and then the now lying in the groove 12 of the rear wall 5 support rail 6 is lowered, so that the shafts of the screws 11 in the narrower sections 20 of the screw holes 18 engage. In this position, in turn, the bar 8 is raised to make the heads of the screws 1 1 accessible, and the screws 1 1 are introduced by means of a through one of the openings 9 Tool tightened. Since in this variant, the screws 1 1 does not have to pass through the openings 9, the openings 9 can be made narrower, and also the width of the gap between the two strips 8 leading legs of the outer profile 7 can be made narrower than in the embodiment of Fig. 2, which improves the load capacity of the support rail 6.
Fig. 5 zeigt einen horizontalen Schnitt durch eine Trägerschiene 6 und ein Stück des Innenbehälters 3, an dem sie montiert ist, gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung. Ein Außenprofil 7 der Trägerschiene 6 hat hier zwei parallele Seitenwände 21 , die miteinander durch einen Quersteg 22 H-förmig verbunden sind. In dem Quersteg 22 sind in regelmäßigen Abständen Durchbrüche 9 zum Aufnehmen von Haken eines in der Figur nicht dargestellten Tragarmes 10 gebildet. Der Quersteg 22 bildet die Bodenfläche einer zum Innenraum hin offenen, hinterschnittenen Nut 23. Eine zweite hinterschnittene Nut 24 ist an der vom Innenraum abgewandten Seite des Quersteges 22 vorgesehen.Fig. 5 shows a horizontal section through a support rail 6 and a piece of the inner container 3, to which it is mounted, according to another embodiment of the invention. An outer profile 7 of the support rail 6 here has two parallel side walls 21, which are connected to each other by a transverse web 22 H-shaped. In the transverse web 22 breakthroughs 9 are formed for receiving hooks of a supporting arm 10, not shown in the figure at regular intervals. The transverse web 22 forms the bottom surface of an undercut groove 23 which is open towards the interior. A second undercut groove 24 is provided on the side of the transverse web 22 facing away from the interior.
Ein dem Innenbehälter 3 zugewandter Eingangsspalt 25 der Nut 24 hat eine solche Breite, dass zwar ein Schaft, nicht aber ein Kopf einer Befestigungsschraube 1 1 passieren kann. Lediglich stellenweise sind am Eingangsspalt 25 in Fig. 5 durch gestrichelte Begrenzungslinien angedeutete Aufweitungen 26 geschaffen, die wie der untere Abschnitt 19 der Öffnung 18 in Fig. 4 breit genug sind, um auch einen Schraubenkopf durchzulassen. Dadurch ist es möglich, die Trägerschiene 6 der Fig. 5 in gleicher Weise an der Rückwand 5 zu montieren, wie oben für die Ausgestaltung der Fig. 4 beschrieben.A the inner container 3 facing the entrance gap 25 of the groove 24 has such a width, that although a shaft, but not a head of a fastening screw 1 1 can happen. Only in places are provided at the entrance slit 25 in Fig. 5 indicated by dashed boundary lines widenings 26, which are as wide as the lower portion 19 of the opening 18 in Fig. 4 wide enough to pass a screw head. This makes it possible to mount the carrier rail 6 of FIG. 5 in the same way on the rear wall 5, as described above for the embodiment of FIG. 4.
In den zwei Seitenwänden 21 ist ein Paar von sich gegenüberliegenden Schlitzen gebildet, in denen eine schmale Leiste 27 vertikal verschiebbar geführt ist. Die Leiste 27 teilt das Innere der Nut 24 in einen die Köpfe der Schrauben 1 1 aufnehmenden hinteren Bereich und einen vorderen Bereich, der die durch die Durchbrüche 9 hindurchreichenden Haken von Tragarmen 10 aufnimmt.In the two side walls 21, a pair of opposing slots is formed, in which a narrow bar 27 is guided vertically displaceable. The strip 27 divides the interior of the groove 24 in a the heads of the screws 1 1 receiving rear portion and a front portion which receives the passing through the apertures 9 hooks of support arms 10.
Die Leiste 27 ist mit einer Mehrzahl von Löchern 28 versehen, die in einer abgesenkten Stellung der Leiste 27 jeweils knapp unterhalb eines Durchbruches 9 des Quersteges 22 liegen und dadurch vom Innenraum des Kältegerätes her nicht sichtbar sind. Die Leiste 27 ist jedoch in eine Stellung anhebbar, in der die Löcher 28 jeweils mit einem der Durchbrüche 9 fluchten und durch diesen Durchbruch 9 und das entsprechende Loch 28 der Kopf einer dahinterliegenden Schraube 1 1 für ein Werkzeug zugänglich ist, um die Trägerschiene 6 an dem Innenbehälter 3 zu befestigen oder sie zu lösen. Bei normalem Gebrauch des Kältegerätes liegen jeweils geschlossene Bereiche der Leiste 27 vor den Schrauben 1 1 , so dass keine von ihnen sichtbar ist.The strip 27 is provided with a plurality of holes 28 which lie in a lowered position of the strip 27 respectively just below an opening 9 of the cross bar 22 and are therefore not visible from the interior of the refrigerator forth. However, the bar 27 can be raised to a position in which the holes 28 each with one of Breakthroughs 9 are aligned and through this opening 9 and the corresponding hole 28 of the head of an underlying screw 1 1 is accessible to a tool to attach the support rail 6 to the inner container 3 or to solve them. In normal use of the refrigerator are each closed areas of the bar 27 in front of the screws 1 1, so that none of them is visible.
Die in den Figuren 2 und 5 dargestellten Trägerschienen 6 können, wie bereits angegeben, am Korpus 1 des Kältegerätes montiert sein, um daran Tragarme 10 für Fachböden aufzuhängen; genauso können sie aber auch an der Innenseite einer Tür des Kältegerätes montiert sein, um daran Türabsteller aufzuhängen, wie in Figuren 6 und 7 gezeigt.The support rails 6 shown in Figures 2 and 5 may, as already stated, be mounted on the body 1 of the refrigerator to hang thereon support arms 10 for shelves; but they can also be mounted on the inside of a door of the refrigerator to hang on it door racks, as shown in Figures 6 and 7.
Fig. 6 ist ein vertikaler Schnitt durch die Schiene 6 der Fig. 5, wobei ein an der Schiene aufgehängter Tragarm 10 und der von diesem gehaltene Türabsteller 29 in einer Seitenansicht gezeigt sind. Die in den zwei Trägerschienen 6 der Tür 30 eingreifenden Tragarme 10 sind hier jeweils starr mit einem rechteckigen Rahmen 31 verbunden, in den ein aus Kunststoff spritzgeformter Kasten 32 von oben lose eingehängt ist, um den Türabsteller zu bilden. Eine umlaufende Krempe 33 des Kastens liegt auf dem Rahmen 31 auf.Fig. 6 is a vertical section through the rail 6 of Fig. 5, wherein a suspended on the rail support arm 10 and held by this door racks 29 are shown in a side view. The engaging in the two support rails 6 of the door 30 support arms 10 are here each rigidly connected to a rectangular frame 31, in which a molded plastic box 32 is hung loosely from above to form the door racks. A circumferential brim 33 of the box rests on the frame 31.
Die Tragarme 10 umfassen jeweils einen im Querschnitt T-förmigen Führungskörper 34 mit einem außen an der Trägerschiene 6 anliegenden Querbalken 35 und einer mittig von dem Querbalken 35 abstehenden, in die Nut 23 der Trägerschiene 6 eingreifenden Rippe 36. An einem oberen Ende der Rippe 36 sind in entgegengesetzte Richtungen abstehende Zapfen 37 geformt, die jeweils in die Hinterschneidungen der Nut 23 eingreifen. Von einem unteren Ende der Rippe 36 steht ein in einen Durchbruch 9 des Quersteges 22 eingreifender Haken 38 ab.The support arms 10 each comprise a cross-sectionally T-shaped guide body 34 with an externally applied to the support rail 6 crossbar 35 and a centrally projecting from the crossbar 35, engaging in the groove 23 of the support rail 6 rib 36. At an upper end of the rib 36th are formed in opposite directions projecting pins 37 which engage respectively in the undercuts of the groove 23. From a lower end of the rib 36 is an engaging in an opening 9 of the crosspiece 22 hook 38 is from.
Um die Höhe des Türabstellers 29 zu ändern, genügt es, die Einheit aus Rahmen 31 und Tragarmen 10 geringfügig anzuheben und bezogen auf Fig. 6 im Gegenuhrzeigersinn zu schwenken, so dass die zwei Haken 38 aus den Durchbrüchen 9 freikommen, während die Zapfen 37 in der Nut 23 gefangen bleiben. Wenn beim Schwenken darauf geachtet wird, dass wenigstens die Haken 38 die Nuten 23 nicht verlassen, ist es aufgrund der starren Verbindung zwischen den Tragarmen 10 über den Rahmen 31 nicht möglicht, einen der Tragarme 10 nennenswert stärker anzuheben oder abzusenken als den anderen. Ein Verkanten des Türabstellers 29 beim Ändern von dessen Höhe ist dadurch weitgehend ausgeschlossen.In order to change the height of the door compartment 29, it is sufficient to slightly raise the unit of frame 31 and support arms 10 and to pivot with respect to FIG. 6 in the counterclockwise direction, so that the two hooks 38 come out of the openings 9, while the pins 37 in the groove 23 remain trapped. When panning is taken care that at least the hooks 38 do not leave the grooves 23, it is not possible due to the rigid connection between the support arms 10 via the frame 31, to raise or lower one of the support arms 10 appreciably stronger than the other. Tilting the door compartment 29 when changing the height is thereby largely excluded.
Wie in Fig. 6 gezeigt, können die Zapfen 37 einen unrunden Querschnitt haben. Denkbar ist, die Zapfen 37 in vertikaler Richtung so stark zu verlängern, dass sie die Schwenkbewegungsfreiheit der Einheit von Rahmen 31 und Tragarmen 10 so stark einschränken, dass die Haken 38 die Nuten 23 nicht mehr verlassen können. Dem gleichen Zweck könnten auch mehrere an einer gleichen Seite der Rippen 36 angeordnete Zapfen oder auf entgegengesetzten Seiten gegeneinander höhenversetzte Zapfen, wie in Fig. 6 durch einen gestrichelten Umriss 37' angedeutet, dienen. As shown in Fig. 6, the pins 37 may have a non-circular cross-section. It is conceivable to extend the pin 37 in the vertical direction so strong that they restrict the pivoting freedom of the unit of frame 31 and support arms 10 so strong that the hooks 38, the grooves 23 can not leave. For the same purpose, a plurality of pins arranged on the same side of the ribs 36 or on opposite sides offset from one another could serve as pins, as indicated in FIG. 6 by a dashed outline 37 '.
