Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cabinet-like household appliance such as in particular a household refrigerating appliance.
  • the housing of such a refrigerator encloses one or more storage compartments, which are usually divided for more efficient use by one or more shelves.
  • shelves are mounted already in the manufacture of the device in the factory at their intended mounting positions in a storage compartment.
  • these mounting positions are not shock-resistant, so that it can not easily be assumed that the shelves remain in their designated position during transport.
  • the shelves are therefore fixed by means of adhesive tapes or fixed by between them and a wall of the interior of trapped foam or cardboard parts. This transport preparation requires labor in the production, which leads to no added value for the customer.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object to provide an improved fixation of shelves in a cabinet-like home appliance.
  • a cabinet-like household appliance having a housing which surrounds a storage compartment and having a projecting into the storage compartment pad, and supported by a support shelf on the shelf a locking element is mounted between a securing position, in the it holds the shelf positively fixed to the support, and a loose position is movable, in which it allows movement of the shelf in at least one degree of freedom.
  • the shelves are secured in the household appliance housing in a manner that does not hinder the use of the device, so that the fuse after installation of the device need not be removed and the shelves can remain secured during operation of the device ,
  • Household appliance is here understood to mean a device which is used for household management, in particular a household refrigerating appliance, such as, for example, a refrigerator, a freezer or a refrigerated freezer combination.
  • At least one substantially immovable hook is provided on the shelf, which engages under the support.
  • this immovable hook surrounds a leading edge of the support, so that when the locking element is in the loose position, the shelf can be pulled forward for removal immediately forward.
  • the shelf in the mounted position can reach directly to a rear wall of the housing without this complicating the assembly or disassembly of the shelf.
  • the shelf comprises a plate and a rail attached to an edge of the plate to which the fixed hook and the movable locking element are attached.
  • the shape of the plate can thus be kept simple, which allows a low-cost production.
  • the rail which may have a more complicated shape, can be realized inexpensively in particular as a molded part made of plastic.
  • the movable locking element may also be a hook, which engages under the support at least in the securing position.
  • the movable locking element is designed as a hook, this is preferably oriented mirror-inverted to the above-mentioned stationary hook. So the locking element and the immovable hook can be sufficient to produce a positive connection of the shelf to the support in the securing position.
  • a free end of the hook of the locking element is preferably directed forward, at least in the securing position, to engage around a rear edge of the support and thus prevent movement of the shelf forward.
  • contact points between the support and the shelf should be present.
  • These contact points can be expediently formed by two arms spaced in the depth direction. A particularly large distance between the arms is achievable if both the immovable hook and the locking element engage in a space between the arms.
  • the locking element between the securing position and the loose position is rotatable about an axis of rotation which is perpendicular to a plate of the shelf.
  • a locking of the locking element in the securing position can still be achieved by the movable locking member having a rotatable shaft and a peripheral surface of the shaft has a locally variable distance from the axis of rotation.
  • the movable locking member tends to engage in a position in which the support arm rests against a portion of the peripheral surface with locally minimal distance from the axis of rotation.
  • such portions are formed as planar facets in an otherwise cylindrical peripheral surface of the shaft
  • the shelf is secured by facing the movable element of a vertical edge of the support in the securing position and thereby blocks a horizontal movement of the shelf relative to the support, whereas in the loose position the movable element is offset against the vertical flank to release such movement.
  • the movable element and the immovable hook are here preferably opposite each other to opposite vertical edges of the support, so that a horizontal movement of the shelf in a direction which is not blocked by the movable member in the securing position, is blocked by the hook.
  • the hook and the movable element are preferably integrally formed in one piece, in particular in the form of a single injection-molded part.
  • the movable element can be arranged to save space in a space between the two arms.
  • the number of immovable hooks in such a case is preferably at least two, with an immovable hook engaging each of the arms.
  • the locking element may generally be spring-loaded into the securing position, in the case of the second embodiment in particular by the inherent elasticity of the tongue forming the movable element.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of a refrigerator body with a mounted therein and secured shelf.
  • Figure 2a is a schematic perspective view of a side rail of the shelf in the securing position.
  • 2b shows a partial view of the rail in the loose position;
  • Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a rail according to a second
  • FIG. 4 is a top perspective view of a rail according to a third embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 5 is a perspective view obliquely from below of the rail mounted on two arms according to the third embodiment.
  • Fig. 6 is a longitudinal section through the rail shown in Figures 4 and 5;
  • FIG. 7 shows a longitudinal section analogous to FIG. 6 according to a fourth embodiment of the invention.
  • Fig. 8 is a bottom view of a rail according to a fifth
  • Fig. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a household refrigerator with a body 1 and a door 2, which enclose a heat-insulated storage compartment 3.
  • a body 1 and a door 2 which enclose a heat-insulated storage compartment 3.
  • On the inner sides of side walls 4 of the body 1 several pairs of depressions 5 are formed at different heights.
  • the recesses 5 are provided to insert support arms 6 therein and to fix them by frictional engagement or gluing, of which two pairs are shown in the figure. While the upper pair of
  • the support shelf 7 shown here consists essentially of a rectangular glass plate 8 and two support rails 9, which are fixed along the lateral edges of the glass plate 8, for example by gluing, and of which in Fig. 1 only one is visible.
  • Fig. 2a shows an enlarged view of this support rail 9. It comprises an elongated strip 10 of L-shaped cross section with a horizontal wide leg, which is provided to the edge of the (not shown in Fig. 2a) glass plate 8 to support and which is preferably glued to the glass plate. A narrower and vertical leg of the strip 10 surrounds the edge of the glass plate 8 and lies in the assembled state between this edge and the adjacent side wall 4 of the body first
  • a rearwardly open hook 1 1 is formed, which is provided in the assembled state, the rear of the two - transparent in Fig. 2 and shown with dotted lines - support arms 6 at a front, the door 2 facing Flank and to touch on its underside.
  • the hook 1 1 is rigid in itself or at most to a small extent elastically deformable.
  • a rotatable hook 12 is attached to the underside of the strip 10.
  • the rotatable hook 12 here comprises a horizontally oriented plate-shaped arm 13 and a shaft 15 rotatable with the arm 13 about a vertical axis of rotation 14.
  • the arm 13 is oriented in the configuration of Fig. 2a with its free end forward and touches the bottom of the front
  • the shaft 15 has substantially the shape of a flat cylinder with distributed on its peripheral surface planar facets 16, 17.
  • the free end of the arm 13 oriented facet 16 touches a vertical edge on the back of the front support arm 6. If the Hook 12 is rotated, a cylindrical portion of the shaft 15 comes into contact with the vertical edge. Therefore, the hook 12 can be rotated from the securing position shown in Fig. 2a in the loose position of Fig. 2b only if the entire structure is slightly deformed, either by the two support arms 6 are slightly spread apart elastically or by the immovable Hook 1 1 slightly widened under the spreading force occurring. An inadvertent transition between the securing position and the loose position, for example due to shock during transport of the device, is excluded.
  • the shelf 7 can be placed in this position, initially tension-free on the support arms 6, then to secure it by turning the hook 12.
  • the facing back in the illustration of Fig. 2b facet 17 is here without function, but it allows the hook 12 shown identical to the one shown Support rail 9 as well as on the unillustrated, to use her mirror image.
  • FIG. 3 shows a perspective view analogous to FIG. 2a of a carrier rail 9 according to a second embodiment of the invention.
  • the L-shaped bar 10 and the stationary hook 11 are the same as described with reference to Fig. 2a; however, in the horizontal leg of the strip 10, a longitudinally elongated slot 18 of T-shaped cross-section is formed, in which a complementarily shaped slider 19 is positively received.
  • a slidable along the underside of the bar 10 hook 20 is attached to the slider 19 and guided by this in the longitudinal direction of the bar 10.
  • At a free end of the hook 20 is a flat upward
  • Projection 21 is formed, which, when the hook 20 is pushed from behind on the front support arm 6, enforces a slight elastic deformation before it engages on a front flank of the support arm 6.
  • FIGS 4 to 6 A third embodiment of the carrier rail 9 will be explained with reference to FIGS 4 to 6.
  • Figures 4, 5 are each perspective views and Fig. 6 is a longitudinal section of the rail 9.
  • the rail 9 has here essentially the shape of an elongated cuboid, wherein at the top of the cuboid as on the bar 10 a narrow, the on the top glued, not shown glass plate 8 flanking web 21 is formed.
  • the side facing away from the viewer of the rail 9 is open, so that the support arms 6 can engage from this side in the rail 9.
  • a spring tongue 22 is formed in a central region of the rail 9. It is integrally connected at its rear end with the body of the support rail 9; adjacent to a front end of an actuating tab 23 of the spring tongue 22 projects beyond the side surface of the rail 9 into the interior of the storage compartment 3.
  • an upturned tip 24 of the spring tongue 22 is opposite to a vertical flank 25 on the rear side of the support arm 6 close to the door with little play.
  • the front end of the rail 9 is formed by a rigid hook 26, of which a vertical portion of a flank 25 mirror image front vertical edge 27 of the front support arm 6 is opposite and a rearwardly facing portion a piece far below the bottom of the support arm 6 engages.
  • the spring tongue 22 is deflected by pressing against the actuating tab 23 upwards, as shown in Fig. 6 as a dashed outline.
  • the tip 24 of the spring tongue 22 no longer overlaps with the flank 25, but with flat ribs 29 of the support rail 9, which rest on the top of the front support arm 6.
  • the support rail 9 at least so far forward that the overlap between the hooks 26, 28 and the support arms 6 is lost in the depth direction.
  • the shelf 7 can be lifted as a whole and removed from the storage compartment 3.
  • FIG. 7 shows a fourth embodiment of the carrier rail 9 in a longitudinal section analogous to FIG. 6.
  • two rigid hooks 26, 28 are provided, which abut in the securing position on a front vertical edge 27 of the support arms 6 and these engage around a piece on its underside.
  • An elongated two-armed lever 31 is connected to the body of the support rail 9 only via a vertical web 30.
  • Der Hebel 31 ist an der Unterseite der Tragschiene 9 behow.
  • a protrusion 32 on a rear arm of the lever 31 disengages from a downwardly opening recess of the rear support arm 6 so that the shelf 7 is pulled forward and released Hook 26, 28 can be lifted from the support arms 6 and removed from the storage compartment 3.
  • FIG. 8 A further modification of the carrier rail 9 is shown in Fig. 8 in a view from below. It can be seen here the two support arms 6 and the two rigid hooks 26, 28, each encompass a front edge of the support arms 6. A inside of the
  • Bearing compartment 3 facing side wall of the support rail 9 is formed to a large extent by a deflectable in the width direction of the body 1 spring tongue 33.
  • This carries a projection 34 which rests in the relaxed position of the spring tongue 33 on the rear vertical edge 25 of the front support arm 6.
  • the spring tongue 33 is deflectable in the width direction of the storage compartment 3 to cancel the overlap of the projection 34 with the flank 25 and so make the shelf 7 movable.
  • the support arms 6 are symmetrical with respect to a vertical mirror plane so that identical support arms on the left and right side walls 4 can be used. Moreover, if the support arms were still symmetrical with respect to a horizontal mirror plane, mounting of the support arms 6 in the wrong orientation would be precluded. However, such a symmetrical shape would make the support arms higher than required from a static point of view and therefore take up unnecessary space.
