Definitions
- the present invention relates to a cabinet-like household appliance having a housing surrounding an interior space and at least one strut, which is mountable engaging in a first and a second recess of opposing first and second walls of the interior.
- Known household appliances of this type are, for example, refrigerators with shelves in the form of a grate, which is formed by two extending in the transverse direction of the housing wire struts and wire struts interconnecting longitudinal wires, the wire struts engage in horizontal grooves in the side walls of the housing.
- These struts, or the shelves to which they belong, may generally be pulled out of the grooves forwards without appreciable resistance, so that they are not suitable for attaching thereto fixtures to which forces parallel to the grooves in use become.
- the object is achieved in that in a household appliance with a housing surrounding an interior and at least one strut, which is mounted engaging in a first and a second recess of opposing first and second walls of the interior, the recesses are open at the top and the Strut in the recesses engaging engaging angled fingers.
- the strut possibly together with a preassembled to her built-in part, can be installed quickly and without tools in the interior and is fixed by its own weight.
- the strut comprises a profile element, at the ends of the fingers are attached. This makes it possible to manufacture struts for housings of different widths in a simple manner, by making the fingers uniform for different device models are manufactured and only the profile element is cut into adapted to the housing width length.
- the profile element can be inexpensively roll formed.
- the profile element has a longitudinal channel, and a first leg of each finger is held in the longitudinal channel, while a second leg engages in one of the recesses.
- a fastening hook of a built-in component preferably engages on the bottom of the webs to save space.
- the lower web is preferably provided with detent openings.
- a built-in part suspended from the strut may in particular comprise a guide frame for a withdrawable container.
- such a built-in part may comprise a front plate for an icemaker.
- the ice maker itself is preferably permanently mounted in the housing in order to allow a simple supply of fresh water to the icemaker and, if appropriate, discharge of residual water from there;
- the recesses which receive the fingers of the web are difficult to realize with the required load capacity on a conventional plastic deep-drawn inner container, they are preferably formed on moldings, which in turn are mounted on walls of the housing.
- the recesses are preferably formed at the bottom of depressions of an otherwise flat upper side of the mold parts, wherein the recesses are each open to the device interior. This makes it possible to attach the fingers to the moldings so that they do not protrude beyond their flat top, so that the top again can be used as a support surface for other parts, in particular for a storage tray.
- a particularly compact structure is obtained when the underside of the storage tray has a recess surrounded by a frame and this recess is used to accommodate therein the profile element of the strut. So that the profile element can engage as deeply as possible in the recess, it may be advantageous if the fingers are cranked.

- an automatic icemaker 4 is fixedly mounted on the rear wall 3.
- the ice maker 4 is of any known type with a not visible in the rear wall 3 fresh water supply line, possibly a residual water drain line and a collection container for finished pieces of ice.
- Approximately at the level of the top of the ice maker 4 is mounted on both sides of the walls 2 each have an elongated molding 5 made of plastic, which is provided to two in Fig. 1 above the molding 5 shown floating, extending from one side wall 2 to the other Aspire to wear 6.
- the struts 6 are each assembled from a profiled element 7 which is roll-formed from sheet steel and fingers 8 extending across the ends of the profiled element 7 in the manner of a hook.
- the profile element 7 has a cross section similar to that of a downwardly open U-profile with a central web 9, adjoining the edges of which vertical lateral legs 10 and from the lower edges of the lateral legs 10 in the horizontal direction protruding outer Webs 11. In one of the outer webs 11 slots 12 are broken.
- the formed of a steel strip finger 8 has a horizontal leg 13 which extends in the limited of the central web 9 and the lateral legs 10 groove of the profile element 7 and secured by means of a screw 14, a rivet or the like to the central web 9 is a vertical leg 15 for insertion into an upwardly open recess 16 of the mold parts 5, and, in the case considered here and in Fig. 3, between the two legs 13, 15, a step 17th As shown in Fig. 4, there are two recesses 16 at the bottom of in the otherwise flat top 18 of the molding 5 deepened, extending in the width direction of the body notches 19. As shown in FIG.
- these notches 19 take the horizontal portion of the step 17th completely, so that the top 18 can serve as a support surface for a storage plate 20, which will be discussed in more detail later in connection with FIG.
- Three holes on the longitudinal side of the molding 5 are provided to receive screws for fixing the molding 5 to the side wall 3.
- the struts 6 are provided as brackets for two support frames 21, one of which is shown in Fig. 5.
- the support frame 21 comprises a rectangular ceiling plate 22 and two opposing side walls 23. In the ceiling plate 22 stiffening beads 24 are formed.
- a plurality of hooks 25, 26 is cut free in two rows of the ceiling plate 22 and notched.
- the hooks 26 carry downwardly directed locking lugs, which are designated in Fig. 7 with 27.
- These latching lugs 27 are provided to engage in the slots 12 of the front strut 6 and so to fix the suspended therefrom support frame 21 in the depth direction of the body 1.
- the outer web 11 is clamped between the hooks 26 and the ceiling plate 22.
- the engagement of the locking lug 27 in the slot 12 prevents the support frame 21 in the reference system of the body 1 to the rear or in the perspective of FIG. 7 to the left of the strut 6 dissolves.
- the mobility of the ceiling plate 22 to the right is limited by an abutment of the hook 26 on the adjacent lateral leg 10.
- the two support frame 21 can be snapped so outside of the body 1 on the struts 6 and then together with these form a rigid unit that preassembled can be used in the body 1.
- the side walls 23 of the support frame 21 carry on their mutually facing surfaces two horizontal webs 28, which serve as guide rails for a pull-out box 29, as shown in Fig. 6.
- the pull-out box 29 carries a front panel 30, behind which in the retracted state protruding from the side walls of the pull-out box 29, mounted on the webs 28 ribs 31 and the front edges of the side walls 23 are hidden.
- Three holes 32 broken near the leading edge into the side walls 23 serve to anchor a front panel 33 shown in FIG. 8, behind which, when the assembly formed from the two struts 6, the two support frames 21 and the front panel 33 is mounted in the body 1 Hiding icemaker 4.
- the front panel 33 has a central portion 34 whose cross-section and external appearance are similar to the front panels 30 of the adjacent pull-out boxes 29. Side flanks 35 of this central region 34 project in the lateral direction from angled latching tongues 36, 37, 38.
- the upper and lower latching tongue 36 or 38 carries a latching nose 39 facing the viewer in the perspective of FIG. 8, while the middle latching tongue 37, which extends somewhat further in the lateral direction than the latching tongues 36, 38, has a latching nose 39 facing away from the viewer ,
- the locking lugs 39 are used to fix the front panel 33 by simply sliding from the front on the side walls 23 of the two support frame 21. By the locking lugs 39 engage from different sides into the holes 32 of the side walls 23, the front panel 33 is held securely on this and covered a space between the pull-out boxes 29, in which after assembly of the assembly in the body 1 of the icemaker 4 will intervene.
- FIG. 9 shows a plan view of the complete assembly including the pull-out boxes 29.
- the assembly In order to be able to use the area located above the assembly in the interior of the body 1, the assembly is covered in the ready-mounted refrigerator with a storage tray 40 shown in Fig. 10 in a perspective view from below.
- the storage tray 40 shown in Fig. 10 in a perspective view from below.
- This frame is assembled from front, rear and side profile elements 42, 43 and 44 of the same cross-section, which in known manner, the edges of the glass plate 41 receiving grooves and are connected to each other by corner pieces 45, 46, respectively in cavities of the profile elements 42, 43, 44 carry engaging pins.
- the width of the profile elements 44 corresponds to that of the mold parts 5, so that the profile elements 44 rest flat and stable on the mold parts 5 and the struts 6 engage in the limited by the frame underside of the recess of the storage tray 40, so that their central webs 9 in the immediate Near the glass sheet 41 run.
- at least the rear corner pieces 46 have downwardly open cavities 47, into which the body 1 can engage in fixed projections.
- These projections can be attached to the body 1 in a largely arbitrary manner. For example, it could be formed on the molding 5 projections which protrude slightly above the top 18.
- FIG. 11 shows an alternative solution using a stop bar 48 to be mounted on the rear wall 3.
