Definitions

• the invention relates to a cooling device according to the preamble of claim 1.
• a refrigerator usually has a number of refrigerated goods arranged in the refrigerator compartment. These are designed, for example, as filing grids, glass plates, small parts trays, vegetable trays or others. These refrigerated goods trays are generally hung on the side walls of the refrigerator. For the most part, guide grooves are provided on the sides of the cooling space for this purpose, in which the
• Refrigerated goods trays can be introduced in a controlled manner and from the lower parts they are held.
• projections are attached to the refrigerated goods shelves, which in designated shots engage in the area of the guide grooves or on the rear wall of the cold room and secure the chilled goods shelf.
• the projections of the refrigerated goods trays are pressed by the weight of refrigerated goods in the shots. Therefore, the projections are usually arranged on the underside of the refrigerated goods trays.
• Refrigerated goods are held non-positively.
• the chilled goods deposit has little play available, so that jumping out of the plate from the guide groove is also unlikely during transport.
• this embodiment has the disadvantage that the insertion of the refrigerated goods tray in the precisely fitting guide slot is more cumbersome than the introduction of suchdegutablage in a wider gap of a guide groove.
• the invention has the object of providing a cooling device in such a way that the refrigerated goods trays are always held securely in the guide grooves during transport and the operation of the refrigerator still remains customer-friendly.
• a clamping member is provided as a transport securing, which is shaped so that it fills the gap between the guide groove and the introducedmégutablage at least one position and which further comprises a fastener, by which it is releasably connected to thedegutablage or a suitable holder on the refrigerator is connectable. Due to the fact that the clamping part fills the gap between the refrigerated goods deposit and the guide groove, the refrigerated goods deposit is fixed in its position by preventing the refrigerated goods deposit from jumping up during transport. This ensures that the projections of the refrigerated goods trays are held in the recordings, a release of the projections, which could lead to slipping out of the refrigerated goods shelf, is no longer possible.
• the lower projection serves as a support bar for the refrigerated goods storage and the upper may already represent the support bar of the next higher shelf.
• Determination position persists and can not be shaken out by itself. After transport, the clamping part can be easily detached and removed by the customer. By such a clamping part so on the one hand, a secure transport of a refrigerator with inserteddegutablagen is guaranteed, on the other hand, such a transport lock is easy to remove from the customer.
• the clamping part is fixed to the transport protection on the refrigerated goods shelf itself.
• This solution is particularly easy to install, since the clamping part are fixed in advance on the refrigerated goods storage and can be inserted together with the refrigerated goods storage in the guide and jammed in this. After transport, the customer can pull it out of the cooling unit together with the refrigerated goods rack and simply detach it from the refrigerated goods rack.
• the attachment fixes the clamping part on thedegutablage both in the lateral direction, so that it can not slide away from the cooling chamber side away from the guide groove, as well as in the horizontal direction to the refrigerator door, thereby sliding out of the clamping part of the guide groove and a release of the Refrigerated goods storage is prevented by the clamping part in the door direction.
• the clamping part on the guide groove itself and / or on the Rear wall of the refrigerator to secure.
• the clamping part is not easily removed with the refrigerated goods shelf but must be solved by the customer directly from the rear side of the refrigerator. This is somewhat cumbersome, but it may be easier for some models but the provision of fasteners on the refrigerator for some models than the refrigerated goods itself.
• the fastening elements are designed as latching elements.
• Locking connections represent a particularly advantageous and easily executable possibility of a detachable connection, which is also common for the customer and therefore can be easily solved by this without tools.
• a latching element which fixes the chilled goods deposit forward to the door side on the clamping part is fastened to the surface of the chilled goods deposit opposite the section of the clamping part engaging in the guide groove by means of a latching hook.
• the latching hook is connected via a fixing portion with the body of the clamping part in connection.
• This attachment section encloses a holding web present on a surface of the refrigerated goods deposit.
• the mounting portion is formed as a rider, which can be placed on a stop rib ofmégutablagen from above is particularly advantageous.
• Stop ribs can be used as a holding web for the fixation of the clamping part, when the locking element is shaped so that it surrounds the stop rib at least on the door side form-fitting manner.
• the locking element of the clamping member takes advantage of the already located on the refrigerated goods storage elements as a support.
• a further latching hook is provided on the clamping part, which engages in a holding web, which is also arranged on the surface of the refrigerated goods deposit and aligned substantially parallel to the side walls of the cooling space.
• this holding web is located on the surface of the refrigerated goods deposit facing the body of the clamping part or opposite the rear clamping hook.
• the fixation of the clamping element takes place in the lateral direction.
• slipping out of the clamping element is prevented from the guide groove. If the retaining bar in which the latching hook engages on the surface of the refrigerated goods deposit opposite the latching hook of the rearward element, the latching hook of the rearward element can assume a dual function. It also stabilizes the locking connection, which prevents displacement of the clamping part in the lateral direction.
• the refrigerated goods deposit could also be pressed into receptacles by means of a clamping part according to the invention, which are located, for example, on the rear wall of the refrigerating appliance.

• Fig. 4 is a glass shelf with attached transport lock, used in the Cold room of a refrigerator in a detail view.
• FIGs 1 and 2 a plastic part used for the transport security of glass shelves in the refrigerator in different views can be seen.
• the main components of the plastic part are a clamping bar 2, a rear locking element 3 and a horizontal locking element 4.
• the rear locking element 3, which is clearly visible in Fig. 1, has as essential components, a tab section 5, the groove forms, which
• the horizontal locking element 4 is also constructed essentially of two components, namely a lever 7 and a latch 8.
• the individual components are connected via plastic webs with each other. Particularly simple and cost-effective, the entire clamping part 1 is produced for transport security in a plastic injection molding process.
• FIG. 3 shows a glass shelf 9, which can be used to store refrigerated goods in a refrigerator.
• the glass shelf 9 is essentially of a glass plate 10, on which the refrigerated goods is parked, a stop rib 1 1, which prevents the refrigerated goods to the rear wall of the refrigerator abuts and a projection 12, which is only hinted at here and serves to ensure a certain fixation of the glass shelf by engaging in a corresponding receptacle in the guide groove of the side wall of the refrigerator.
