Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a storage compartment, in particular a door storage compartment, such as a butter compartment, for a refrigeration appliance, in particular a household refrigerating appliance, i. a container which is separable from the remaining interior of the refrigerator to store refrigerated goods at another, usually slightly higher temperature than the rest of the interior can.
  • a refrigeration appliance in particular a household refrigerating appliance, i. a container which is separable from the remaining interior of the refrigerator to store refrigerated goods at another, usually slightly higher temperature than the rest of the interior can.
  • a butter compartment is normally mounted on the inside of a door of a refrigerator near its upper edge.
  • the butter compartment is closed by a flap that pivots upward to open about a horizontal axis. If one would close the door with the flap swung open in such a refrigeration device, the flap would abut against the body of the refrigeration device and break off. To avoid this, the flap usually does not have a stable raised position, but falls immediately when released. A user who wants to access the contents of the butter compartment therefore always needs a hand to hold the flap open.
  • US 2006/0290144 A1 discloses a door opening closing device having a rotating mechanism configured to adjust the door between a closed position and an open position relative to a base member.
  • the rotary mechanism has a support arm integrally formed with the door, a sector gear portion provided on the arm, a rotary gear supported on the support arm, a first rack portion, and a second rack portion provided on the base member.
  • US 1,115,135 discloses a container with a door that is openable and closable.
  • the door can be pivoted to open from a vertical to a horizontal position.
  • German patent application no. 10 2008 026 381.8 (see also EP-A-2 131 125 ) describes a door storage compartment having a box and a flap which is movable between a closed position in front of an open front of the box and an open position in which it is recessed in a space between two bottom plates of the box.
  • Object of the present invention is a storage compartment, in particular a door storage compartment for a refrigerator, to provide a box and a movable flap, wherein the flap after it has been deflected by the user from its closed position, reliably reaches an open position automatically.
  • the object is achieved by providing a storage compartment, in particular a door storage compartment, with a box and a flap movable between a closed position in front of an open front of the box and an open position at least partially overlapping with a bottom panel of the box, wherein a first pivot axis (17; ) of the flap (2) on the box (1) in the depth direction on a first guide track (9; 10) is displaceable, at least one connecting the flap with the box spring element is provided, which is more tensioned in the closed position than in the open position ,
  • the relaxation of the spring element drives the movement of the flap targeted until it reaches the Open position.
  • the path runs or run the tracks in a space between two floor panels or between two ceiling panels of the box.
  • the flap overlaps in its open position with the bottom plate of the box largely, especially completely.
  • At least a first pivot axis of the flap preferably even two pivot axes guided in the depth direction on a first and second guide rail slidably.
  • This web or these webs expediently run below a base plate or above a ceiling plate of the box, so that the movement of the flap can not be blocked by refrigerated goods contained in the box.
  • Below the base plate or above the ceiling plate is also the height level of the two plates to understand.
  • the tracks are formed as guide grooves on a side wall of the box, and the pivot axes are defined by pins of the flap, which engage in these guide grooves.
  • the spring element may suitably attack on one of these pins.
  • the spring element is conveniently housed protected in a cavity of the side wall.
  • the pin on which the spring element engages can protrude through its guide groove into the cavity.
  • the guide grooves leading the first and second pivot axes, respectively diverge vertically toward the front of the box.
  • the spring element can contribute to the stabilization of the flap in the closed position by keeping the first pivot axis pressed against one end of the first guide groove in this closed position.
  • the spring element expediently has an arm pivotable about an axis and engaging the flap.
  • this arm expediently acts on the second pivot axis.
  • this second pivot axis is closer to the axis of the arm than the first pivot axis.
  • a damper may be provided which delays the flap before reaching the open position.
  • a rotary damper in particular a rotary damper can be used, which is coupled via an arm pivotable about an axis of the flap.
  • this arm may be the same arm that also engages the second pivot axis.
  • the spring element connecting the flap with the box is preferably provided twice, once on each side wall of the box.
  • the invention is conceivable in addition to a door storage compartment also on a storage compartment arranged in the cooling space of a refrigerator or freezer, for example under a refrigerated goods deposit.
  • Fig. 1 Butter compartment shown comprises a substantially cuboid box 1, which is intended to be mounted on the inside of a refrigerator door, not shown, and provided for pivotally mounting on the box 1 flap second
  • Fastening means such as locking recesses or projections on hollow in this case formed side walls 3 of the box for hanging on vertical bars of the refrigerator door are known in the art and for clarity in Fig. 1 not shown.
  • a vertical rear wall 4 Between the side walls 3 extend a vertical rear wall 4, a ceiling plate 5, and an upper and a lower bottom plate 6, 7. Front edges of the bottom plates 6, 7 extend to near leading edges of the side walls 3; a front edge of the ceiling plate 5 is slightly more set back than the front edges of the bottom plates 6, 7 and centrally provided with an engagement recess 8.
  • an upper groove 9 and a lower groove 10 are recessed respectively.
  • Both grooves 9, 10 extend over a large part of their length in a gap 11 delimited by the bottom plates 6, 7, rising slightly towards the open front side of the box 1 and, in the present case, open to the internal cavity of the side walls 3.
  • the upper groove 9 terminates with an approximately quarter-circular upwardly curved portion 12.
  • a downwardly curved portion 13 at the front end of the lower groove 10 has a substantially smaller radius of curvature than the portion 12th
  • the flap 2 has substantially the shape of an inverted L-profile with a front panel 15 covering the front of the box 1 and an angled from the upper edge of the front panel 15 web 16. From a lower edge of the front panel 15 are pins 17 in opposite directions laterally. Another pair of laterally projecting pins 18 is formed on at the front plate 15 rearwardly projecting tabs 19.
  • the pins 17 are provided to engage in the lower grooves 10 and to define a first pivot axis of the cap 2; the pins 18 form a second pivot axis by engaging in the upper grooves 9.
  • the pins 18 extend through the grooves 9 through into the inner cavity of the side walls 3.
  • the front panel 15 covers the open front of the box 1, and the web 16 abuts both sides of the engagement recess 8 at the front edge of the ceiling plate 5 at.
  • This condition is in Fig. 2 shown in section.
  • the pins 17 are located at a locally lowest point at the front end of the lower grooves 10, while the pins 18 from the front upper end of the grooves 9 are a distance away. This locally lowest point defines a kind of detent position for the flap 2 in the closed state.
  • Fig. 3 shows a section through a side wall 3 along the in Fig. 2 Level III-III.
  • the other side wall 3 is equal to the mirror image shown.
  • the side wall 3 comprises an outer plate 20 and an inner plate 21, in which the grooves 9, 10 extend. At least the upper groove 9 is formed as a slot open to an inner cavity 22 of the side wall 3.
  • a roller 23 is rotatably mounted on a projecting from the inner plate 21 bearing pin 24.
  • the roller 23 is wrapped by a torsionally loaded leg spring 25 with two tangentially projecting arms 26, 27.
  • One of the arms, designated 26, abuts against a second pin 28 protruding from the inner plate 21, the second arm 27 presses against a projection 30 of a from the roller 23 radially projecting and rotatable with this rigid arm 29 and exerts on this torque in a clockwise direction.
  • the pin 18 engages through the groove 9 in a radially oriented open-edged slot 31 of the arm 29 a.
  • Fig. 4 shows a section through the storage compartment with the flap 2 in partially open position.
  • the flap 2 is already pivoted by an angle of more than 60 ° in the direction of the horizontal, but is still largely out of the box 1, but the pins are still in the quarter-circle-shaped front portion of the groove 9, and the Arm 29 is only slightly compared to the position of Fig. 2 pivoted clockwise. He therefore only slightly supports the initial pivotal movement of the flap 2; In order to drive these after overcoming the initial resistance, essentially enough to the effect of gravity.
  • a (not shown) elastic buffer may be mounted in the gap 11 on the rear wall 4 to a hard, noisy striking the flap 2 upon reaching the open position of the Fig. 5 to avoid.
  • a gap 40 is present in the open position, which makes it easier for the user to grab the flap 2 at its web 16, to pull out of the gap 11 and into the closed position of the Fig. 2 to swing back.
  • the torsion springs 25 are tightened again.
  • Fig. 6 shows you one Fig. 2 analog section according to a second embodiment of the invention.
  • a rigid arm 29 is rotatably supported about a projecting from the inner plate 21 of the side wall 3 bearing pin 24.
  • the roller 23 is replaced by a toothed on at least a portion of its circumference wheel 32, which meshes with a gear 33 of a rotary damper 34.
  • the rotary damper 34 includes in a conventional manner within a liquid-filled capsule 35 a plurality of discs, each fixed to the capsule 35 fixed or rotationally fixed to the gear 33 respectively. The fluid between the discs dampens any rotation of the gear 33.
  • a tensioned coil spring 36 engages the wheel 32 on the one hand and a projection of the inner plate 21 on the other hand to apply a clockwise torque to the arm 29. The effect of this torque is the same as described in connection with the first embodiment.
