Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a door of a refrigerator and / or freezer with at least one arranged on the inside of the door door racks, wherein the door racks is designed to be movable relative to the inside of the door so that it can be locked at different positions of the inside of the door.
  • Such doors with arranged on the inside or inside door door compartments are known in numerous different embodiments.
  • conventional door racks have the disadvantage that they often have a relatively complicated mechanism by means of which the locking of the door racks takes place at the desired position of the inside of the door.
  • known door cabinets if necessary, there is a further disadvantage in that they are completely removed for the purpose of adjustment and then mounted in a new position offset in the vertical direction.
  • the goods should first be removed, the Absteller be offset in height and then the goods are given back. This type of height adjustment of a door compartment is relatively cumbersome and therefore not user-friendly.
  • the present invention is therefore the object of developing a door of the type mentioned in that the door rack is adjustable in a height direction in a comparatively simple manner.
  • At least one guide in the form of at least one arranged on the inside of the door, preferably vertically extending web is provided on the inside of the door.
  • the one or more webs form a guide for the or the door racks, in its adjustment.
  • a preferably vertically arranged web is arranged on the inside of the door.
  • the invention also includes the case that more than one web, preferably a plurality of parallel webs, such as two parallel webs are arranged on the inside of the door.
  • the web or webs preferably extend in the vertical direction.
  • the one or more webs or another portion of the inside of the door has first locking means which cooperate with arranged on the door racks second locking means such that the door racks is locked by the first and the second locking means in the desired position.
  • the door racks or the second means a portion of the inner door, and preferably the one or more webs and / or the first means, at least partially engages behind, so that accidental tilting or falling out of the door compartment or the goods located thereon prevented becomes.
  • the inside of the door and the door rack is designed so that a limited to the vertical direction height adjustment without the installation or the use of additional parts is achieved.
  • the first means of the web or the webs not only form locking means, by means of which the door racks can be locked in the desired vertical position, but also form the said guide for the vertical adjustment of the door compartment.
  • the second means are formed by a part integrally connected to the door racks, for example by a directly molded onto the door plate part. It is also conceivable, however, for the second means to be formed by a part connected to the door racks, but not integrally connected thereto.
  • the web or webs have a front side facing the door racks, a rear side facing away from the latter, and an outer and inner side, and that the first means are arranged on one or more of these sides.
  • said first means are formed by nubs, which are arranged for example on the inside of the web or on the mutually facing inner sides of the webs and which are spaced apart in the vertical direction to a certain extent, which is the grid for the positioning of the door racks forms.
  • any other projections or recesses may be provided in the web or in the webs.
  • the door rack has a groove extending in the adjustment direction of the door compartment, which engages behind the web or the first means disposed thereon or another area of the door inner side.
  • the web or another region of the inside of the door has a groove extending in the adjustment direction of the door compartment, in which a projection of the door compartment engages.
  • the door racks have a vertical groove which engages behind arranged on the web nubs.
  • These knobs thus have not only the function of locking the door compartment in a desired position, but also the function of the leadership of the door compartment during adjustment and also serve as Kippêt against tilting or falling of the door compartment of the inner door.
  • the inner door or the one or more webs and the door racks are arranged so that in certain positions of the door compartment removal of the door compartment, for example, for cleaning or to replace it is possible.
  • the second means are formed by a movable tab, by a slider, by a rotatable arrangement, in particular by a rotary lever or by a device exerting a clamping force.
  • the door rack has at least one, preferably two recesses, which at least partially surround the web or the webs of the inner door. This leads to an improvement of the leadership of the door compartment on the webs or on the webs. It is particularly advantageous that the recesses are formed by sections of the door compartment, which have a smaller height than the door rack itself. This has the advantage that the probability of tilting the door compartment is reduced.
  • At least one further guide means preferably at least one groove is provided for guiding the door compartment and / or that the first means arranged on or in the guide means, in particular on or in the groove are.
  • the arrangement of a further guide means can be used in the case of a web or in the case of multiple webs.
  • first and second means are designed such that the locking of the door compartment is released automatically by lifting the door compartment.
  • the invention relates to a refrigerator and / or freezer with at least one refrigerated interior, which can be closed by at least one door, wherein the door is designed according to one of claims 1 to 9.
  • FIG. 1 shows in a perspective view of a door racks 10, which is locked and guided on two vertically extending, and spaced apart in the width direction webs 20.
  • nubs 22 On the mutually facing inner side of the webs 20 are nubs 22, which are spaced apart in the vertical direction, ie in the adjustment of the door compartment 10.
  • These knobs 22 of the inner door take over both the guides of the height adjustment of the door compartment 10 and the locking positions in the vertical direction.
  • a variable height adjustment of the door racks 10 is possible.
  • the nubs 22 can also be arranged at a different location, for example on the outside of the webs 20.
  • This embodiment of the invention has the advantage that no additional guide rails or other attachments are required to enable one hand, a height adjustment of the door compartment and on the other hand to form a guide and securing the door compartment 10 against tipping or falling.
  • the door rack 10 has a lateral, vertically extending groove 12, whose width is designed so that the knobs 22 of the webs 20 can be received in the groove 12.
  • the door racks 10 thus engages behind one of the groove walls 12, the knobs 22 of the webs 20th
  • the nubs 22 of the webs 20 form in the embodiment shown here, the first means for locking the door racks.
  • the door racks 10 themselves have second means, which cooperate with the first means of the webs to achieve the desired locking in the height direction.
  • the locking is effected by a movable part which is supported on the knobs 22.
  • This movable part forms the second means according to the invention, which cooperate with the first means.
  • This moving part is molded in the simplest case directly to the door rack 10. However, it can also be used as a separate element for locking.
