Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a refrigeration appliance, in particular a household refrigeration appliance such as a refrigerator or a freezer, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • references to directions such as “top,” “bottom,” “front,” and “rear” are based on a conventional refrigeration appliance installation, with a door at the front and its rear panel at the rear. References such as “left” and “right” refer to the representation chosen in the drawing.
  • the sliding cam is attached to one side of the shelf facing a side wall of the refrigeration appliance.
  • the sliding cam is molded onto the shelf, or the shelf is provided with a side overmolding that contains the sliding cam. Since the back of the shelf is usually also overmolding, because an upwardly projecting section is required on this back to ensure that the refrigerated goods on the shelf do not come too close to the rear wall of the refrigeration appliance and risk freezing to it, at least three sides of the shelf must be overmolding. This increases the complexity and therefore the cost of the manufacturing process for each shelf.
  • the disclosure document KR 2005 0071184 A shows a refrigerator comprising a shelf, wherein an L-shaped element is arranged on the shelf.
  • JP 2006 170546 A shows a refrigerator with one shelf.
  • the engagement section 38 of the hook 37 is located as far back as possible on the first rib 13.
  • the angle of the downwardly projecting section 37a of the hook 37 to the vertical is approximately 30°, but is of course not limited to this.
  • the upper side 39 of the engagement portion 38 does not lie directly against the underside of the first rib 13, but is located at a short distance therefrom. However, as soon as the shelf 30 is lifted upwards at its rear side 31, the upper side 39 of the engagement portion 38 can come into contact with the underside of the first rib 13.
  • Fig. 7 shows a third embodiment of the refrigeration device according to the invention, which differs from the first embodiment in the design of the front region of the rib 13.
  • the third embodiment no inclined surface is provided at the front end of the rib 13, but rather the underside of the rib 13 is designed as an upwardly receding section 17.
  • a step is thus formed on the underside of the rib 13. This step also enables the pivoting process of the front end 32 of the shelf 30, described in detail in connection with the first embodiment, in order to be able to completely remove the shelf 30 from the refrigerator compartment.
  • the groove 13d is essentially closed in the vertical direction. "Essentially closed in the vertical direction” here means that the groove 13d is not open upwards over most of its length, but has an upwardly open opening only in the area of the stop cam 14'. This opening is dimensioned such that the sliding cam 35' with the hook 37' can only be moved out of this opening by a rotational movement, which is effected by correspondingly pivoting the front end 32 of the shelf 30 upwards. This can be done as shown in Fig. 9 For example, this can be achieved by limiting or restricting the front end of this opening by a corresponding projection 13e of the stop cam 14', while widening the rear end of the opening by a bevel 13f.
  • All embodiments of the present invention are characterized in that the extension, stop and removal of the shelf can be carried out very easily and not prone to failure by appropriate design of the sliding cam, the hook, the stop cam and the rib.
