Description

Flaschenablage für ein Kältegerät  Bottle shelf for a refrigeration device
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Ablage für die liegende Unterbringung von Flaschen in einem Kältegerät, insbesondere einem Haushaltskältegerät. In den Lagerkammern herkömmlicher Kältegeräte sind meist ein oder mehrere plattenförmige Kühlgutträger montiert, auf denen Kühlgut platziert werden kann. Meist bestehen derartige Kühlgutträger im Wesentlichen aus einer ebenen Glasplatte. Derartige Kühlgutträger sind für die Liegendlagerung von Flaschen oder anderen rollfähigen Gegenständen nicht gut geeignet, da an ihrer ebenen Oberseite keine Sperre vorhanden ist, die das Wegrollen eines solchen Gegenstands verhindern kann. Wenn eine The present invention relates to a shelf for the horizontal placement of bottles in a refrigerator, in particular a household refrigerator. In the storage chambers conventional refrigerators usually one or more plate-shaped refrigerated goods are mounted on which refrigerated goods can be placed. Most such refrigerated goods essentially consist of a flat glass plate. Such refrigerated goods are not well suited for the horizontal storage of bottles or other rollable objects, as on its flat top no lock is present, which can prevent the rolling of such an item. When a
Glasflasche beim Ein- und Ausladen auf einer solchen Glasplatte hin- und hergeschoben wird, entstehen unangenehme Geräusche. Gelangen Schmutzpartikel zwischen die Flasche und die Glasplatte, so können sie an der Platte Kratzspuren hinterlassen. Ein solcher Kühlgutträger ist daher zur Unterbringung von Flaschen nicht ideal geeignet.  Glass bottle is pushed back and forth on such a glass plate during loading and unloading, unpleasant noises. If dirt particles get between the bottle and the glass plate, they can leave scratches on the plate. Such a refrigerated goods is therefore not ideal for accommodating bottles.
Es sind diverse alternative Lösungen für die Liegendlagerung von Flaschen There are various alternative solutions for the horizontal storage of bottles
vorgeschlagen worden, wie etwa ein Gestell mit mehreren von einem Kühlgutträger abgehängten, eventuell ausklappbaren Bügeln, in die Flaschen in liegender Orientierung eingehängt werden können. Derartige Gestelle eignen sich jedoch nur beschränkt zur Unterbringung von Flaschen in unterschiedlichen Größen, da eine Flasche, um stabil gehalten zu werden, auf wenigstens zwei Bügeln gehalten werden muss und der Abstand zwischen zwei Bügeln daher nicht größer sein darf als die kleinste zu lagernde Flasche. Die Abmessungen der Bügel geben außerdem einen maximalen Durchmesser der in dem Gestell lagerbaren Flaschen vor. has been proposed, such as a rack with a plurality of suspended from a refrigerated goods, possibly folding ironing, can be hung in the bottles in a lying orientation. However, such racks are only limited to accommodate bottles of different sizes, since a bottle to be kept stable, must be kept on at least two brackets and the distance between two brackets must therefore not be greater than the smallest bottle to be stored. The dimensions of the bracket also provide a maximum diameter of the storable in the frame bottles.
Aus DE 10 2006 005 291 A1 ist ein speziell für die Lagerung von Flaschen eingerichtetes Kältegerät bekannt, dessen Kühlgutträger an ihrer Oberseite jeweils eine Mehrzahl von Rinnen tragen, in die Flaschen eingelegt werden können. Die Rinnen ermöglichen zwar eine sichere Lagerung von Flaschen, behindern jedoch eine Nutzung des Kältegeräts für andersartiges Kühlgut. Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist, eine Flaschenablage für ein Kältegerät zu schaffen, die eine sichere Lagerung von Flaschen unterschiedlicher Formate ermöglicht, ohne die Nutzbarkeit des Kältegeräts für andersartiges Kühlgut zu beeinträchtigen. From DE 10 2006 005 291 A1 a specially designed for the storage of bottles refrigeration device is known, the Kühlgutträger carry on their upper side in each case a plurality of grooves, can be inserted into the bottles. Although the gutters allow a safe storage of bottles, but hinder the use of the refrigerator for different refrigerated goods. Object of the present invention is to provide a bottle rack for a refrigerator, which allows safe storage of bottles of different formats, without affecting the usability of the refrigerator for different types of refrigerated goods.
Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Flaschenablage mit einer Tragstruktur, insbesondere einer Platte, die einander gegenüber liegende Hauptoberflächen, von denen wenigstens eine eine Konkavität aufweist, und wenigstens eine die Hauptoberflächen verbindende Schmalseite aufweist, und bei der die Masse der Flaschenablage benachbart zu der einen Schmalseite konzentriert ist. Eine solche Flaschenablage kann flach auf einem üblichen, plattenartigen Kühlgutabsteller eines Kältegeräts platziert werden, um in der Konkavität eine Flasche aufzunehmen. Bei Nichtgebrauch der Flaschenablage erleichtert dieThe object is achieved by a bottle rest with a support structure, in particular a plate, the main surfaces facing each other, at least one of which has a concave, and at least one main surfaces connecting the narrow side, and in which the mass of the bottle rest adjacent to the one narrow side is concentrated. Such a bottle tray can be placed flat on a conventional, plate-like Kühlgutabsteller a refrigerator to accommodate in the concave a bottle. When not in use, the bottle rack facilitates the
Konzentration der Masse an der einen Schmalseite das Aufstellen der Flaschenablage in einer Hochkant-Orientierung, in der sie zum Beispiel unmittelbar benachbart zu einer Innenwand des Kältegeräts platziert werden kann. So kann die Flaschenablage auch bei zeitweiligem Nichtgebrauch im Kältegerät verbleiben, ohne darin nennenswert Platz zu beanspruchen und die anderweitige Nutzung zu behindern. Sobald die Flaschenablage wieder zur Stabilisierung einer Flasche benötigt wird, kann sie wieder flach auf einem Kühlgutträger oder einer anderen horizontalen Oberfläche des Lagerraums des Concentrating the mass on the one narrow side setting up the bottle rest in a vertical orientation, in which it can be placed, for example, immediately adjacent to an inner wall of the refrigerator. Thus, the bottle rest can remain in the refrigerator even with temporary disuse, without appreciably taking up space and hindering the other use. Once the bottle rest is needed again to stabilize a bottle, it can again lay flat on a refrigerated goods carrier or other horizontal surface of the storage space of the bottle
Kältegeräts platziert werden. Der Zeitaufwand hierfür ist minimal, da die Flaschenanlage, wenn sie während des Nichtgebrauchs nicht aus dem Kältegerät entfernt wurde, bei ihrer Wiederingebrauchnahme nicht erst an anderer Stelle gesucht werden muss. Refrigeration device are placed. The time required for this is minimal, since the bottle system, if it was not removed from the refrigeration device during use, does not need to be looked for elsewhere in their reuse.
Unter Tragstruktur soll im Sinne der Erfindung ein Ablagekörper für Flaschen verstanden sein, welcher geschlossenflächig, gitterartig oder im Wesentlichen geschlossenflächig mit Durchbrüchen ausgebildet ist. For the purposes of the invention, a support structure is to be understood as a storage body for bottles which is designed to have a closed-surface, grid-like or substantially closed-surface shape with openings.
Eine Konzentration der Masse benachbart zu der Schmalseite, d.h. ein Abstand des Schwerpunkts der Flaschenablage von der Schmalseite, der kleiner ist, als anhand der äußeren Gestalt der Flaschenablage zu erwarten wäre, ist insbesondere mit Hilfe eines der Schmalseite benachbarten Ballastkörpers erreichbar. Alternativ besteht die A concentration of the mass adjacent to the narrow side, i. a distance of the center of gravity of the bottle shelf from the narrow side, which is smaller than would be expected on the basis of the outer shape of the bottle shelf, can be achieved in particular with the help of one of the narrow side adjacent ballast body. Alternatively, there is the
Möglichkeit, die Platte mit einer Wandstärke zu realisieren, die in der Nähe der einen Schmalseite höher ist als an anderen Stellen der Platte. Der Ballastkörper kann zweckmäßigerweise aus massivem Metall, insbesondere Eisen oder einer Eisenlegierung bestehen. Possibility to realize the plate with a wall thickness higher near one narrow side than at other places of the plate. The ballast body may expediently consist of solid metal, in particular iron or an iron alloy.
Um den Ballastkörper möglichst wirksam, nahe an der Schmalseite, zu platzieren, ist an dieser vorzugsweise eine Nut gebildet, die den Ballastkörper aufnimmt. Vorzugsweise ist diese Nut zu der Schmalseite hin offen, so dass der Ballastkörper darin in unmittelbaren Kontakt mit einer Unterlage kommen kann, wenn die Flaschenablage auf dieser Unterlage hochkant aufgestellt ist. In order to place the ballast body as effectively as possible, close to the narrow side, a groove is preferably formed on this, which receives the ballast body. Preferably, this groove is open to the narrow side, so that the ballast body can come into direct contact with a base therein when the bottle rack is placed upright on this surface.
Vorzugsweise füllt der Ballastkörper die Nut aus, in Längs- und/oder in einer Preferably, the ballast body fills the groove, in longitudinal and / or in one
Querrichtung. Transverse direction.
Die Nut erstreckt sich zweckmäßigerweise über im Wesentlichen die gesamte Länge der Platte. Eine Darstellung einer Flasche kann an einer zweiten Schmalseite der Platte angebracht sein, um die Zweckbestimmung der Flaschenablage zu veranschaulichen. The groove expediently extends over substantially the entire length of the plate. An illustration of a bottle may be attached to a second narrow side of the plate to illustrate the purpose of the bottle tray.
Indem der Boden der dargestellten Flasche der Schmalseite zugewandt ist, die dem Ballastkörper benachbart ist, kann die Darstellung auch die vorgesehene By the bottom of the illustrated bottle faces the narrow side, which is adjacent to the ballast body, the representation of the intended
Hochkantstellung der Flaschenablage verdeutlichen. Clarify the upright position of the bottle shelf.

Der Kühlgutträger umfasst in an sich bekannter Weise eine im Wesentlichen rechteckige Platte 4 aus Sicherheitsglas, an die Platte 4 angefügte Rastkonturen 5 zur Verankerung des Kühlgutträgers 1 in horizontalen Nuten der Seitenwände eines (nicht dargestellten) Kältegerätekorpus und ein sich entlang der hinteren Kante der Platte 4 erstreckendes Anschlagprofil 6. The refrigerated goods in a conventional manner comprises a substantially rectangular plate 4 made of safety glass, attached to the plate 4 latching contours 5 for anchoring the refrigerated goods 1 in horizontal grooves of the side walls of a (not shown) refrigerator body and along the rear edge of the plate. 4 extending stop profile 6.
Abweichend von der Darstellung der Fig. 1 kann die Platte 4 in einen umlaufenden Rahmen eingefasst sein, wobei dann die Rastkonturen 5 und das Anschlagprofil 6 als Bestandteile des Rahmens ausgebildet sein können. Notwithstanding the illustration of Fig. 1, the plate 4 may be enclosed in a circumferential frame, in which case the locking contours 5 and the stop profile 6 may be formed as components of the frame.
Die Flaschenablage 2 umfasst eine rechteckige Platte 7 aus Kunststoff mit zwei The bottle tray 2 comprises a rectangular plate 7 made of plastic with two
Hauptoberflächen, einer Oberseite 8 und einer Unterseite, sowie mit vier Schmalseiten 9, 9, 10, 10. An der Oberseite 8 ist eine rinnenförmige Aussparung 1 1 gebildet, in der die Flasche 3 gegen Wegrollen gesichert ist. Main surfaces, an upper side 8 and a lower side, and with four narrow sides 9, 9, 10, 10. At the upper side 8, a channel-shaped recess 1 1 is formed, in which the bottle 3 is secured against rolling away.
Fig. 2 zeigt wiederum den Kühlgutträger 1 und die Flaschenablage 2. Die Flasche 3 selber ist weggelassen, so dass die vordere Schmalseite 10 der Flaschenablage 2 und die Aussparung 1 1 vollständig zu sehen sind. An dieser vorderen Schmalseite 10 ist ein Symbol 12 in Form einer Flasche abgeformt, um einem Benutzer des Kältegeräts die vorgesehene Verwendung der Flaschenablage 2 augenfällig zu machen. Dasselbe Symbol 12 kann auch an der vom Betrachter abgewandten Schmalseite 10 der Fig. 2 again shows the refrigerated goods 1 and the bottle rack 2. The bottle 3 itself is omitted, so that the front narrow side 10 of the bottle rack 2 and the recess 1 1 are completely visible. At this front narrow side 10, a symbol 12 is molded in the form of a bottle to make a user of the refrigerator the intended use of the bottle rack 2 obvious. The same symbol 12 can also on the side facing away from the viewer narrow side 10 of
Flaschenablage 2 angebracht sein, so dass stets eines der Symbole 12 sichtbar ist, egal, welche der zwei Schmalseiten 10 der Vorderkante des Kühlgutträgers zugewandt ist. Bottle tray 2 may be attached so that always one of the icons 12 is visible, no matter which of the two narrow sides 10 faces the front edge of the refrigerated goods carrier.
Die Platte 7 kann aus einteilig spritzgeformt sein; denkbar ist auch, einen zentralen Bereich, der sich über die gesamte Länge der Aussparung 1 1 erstreckt, zu extrudieren und die vorderen und hinteren Schmalseiten 10 bildende Elemente an das extrudierte Profil anzufügen The plate 7 may be injection molded from one piece; it is also conceivable to extrude a central region which extends over the entire length of the recess 11 and attach the front and rear narrow sides 10 forming elements to the extruded profile
Fig. 3 zeigt einen Querschnitt der Flaschenablage 2 gemäß einer ersten Ausgestaltung. Die Längs-Schmalseiten 9 sind als C-Profile der Platte 7 ausgebildet, die jeweils eine zur Seite offene Nut 13 begrenzen. Zwischen den oberen Schenkeln 15 der C-Profile erstreckt sich eine Platte 14, die nach unten rinnenförmig durchgebogen ist, um die Aussparung 1 1 zu bilden. Die Nuten 13 sind an ihren Enden durch dünne Wände verschlossen; ansonsten erstrecken sie sich über die gesamte Länge der Schmalseiten 9. Wenn die Platte 7 wie oben erwähnt aus einem zentralen extrudierten Profil und an dieses angefügten Schmalseiten-Elementen zusammengefügt ist, sind die Wände, die die Enden der Nuten 13 verschließen, Teil der Schmalseiten-Elemente, und die Schmalseiten- Elemente können an dem zentralen extrudierten Profil mit Hilfe von von diesen Wänden ausgehenden, in die Nuten 13 eingreifenden Zapfen verankert sein. Fig. 3 shows a cross section of the bottle rack 2 according to a first embodiment. The longitudinal narrow sides 9 are formed as C-profiles of the plate 7, each defining a groove 13 open to the side. Between the upper legs 15 of the C-profiles, a plate 14 extends, which is bent downwardly channel-shaped to form the recess 1 1. The grooves 13 are closed at their ends by thin walls; otherwise, they extend over the entire length of the narrow sides 9. When the plate 7, as mentioned above, is assembled from a central extruded profile and narrow-side elements attached to it, the walls which close the ends of the grooves 13 are part of the narrow sides. Elements, and the narrow-side elements can be anchored to the central extruded profile by means of projecting from these walls, engaging in the grooves 13 pin.
Die oberen und unteren Schenkel 15, 16 der C-Profile sind gleich breit, so dass die gesamte Flaschenablage 2 im Querschnitt rechteckig ist. Eine der beiden Nuten 13 enthält eine Stahlstange 17. Die Stahlstange 17 füllt den gesamten Querschnitt der Nut 13 aus, abgesehen von einem eventuell zum Einbringen einer Klebstoffschicht erforderlichen geringen Spiel. Die Stahlstange 17 kann auch reibschlüssig in der Nut 13 gehalten sein. Sie erstreckt sich über die gesamte Länge der Nut 13. Da die Dichte der Stahlstange 17 deutlich größer ist als die des Kunststoffs der Platte 7, liegt der Schwerpunkt 19 der Flaschenablage 2 nicht in der geometrischen Mitte des gezeigten Querschnitts, sondern ist von dort zur Stahlstange 17 hin verschoben. Daher ist die Flaschenablage 2 auch in einer Hochkantorientierung standfest, in der die Stahlstange 17 auf dem Kühlgutträger 1 aufliegt. Die Flaschenablage 2 kann daher bequem hochkant auf dem Kühlgutträger 1 platziert werden, wie in Fig. 4 gezeigt. Indem sie in dieser Hochkantorientierung unmittelbar benachbart zu einer Seitenwand des Kältegerätekorpus platziert wird, beansprucht sie nur wenig Platz und beeinträchtigt die Nutzung des Geräts nicht. Daher kann die Flaschenablage 2 auch, ohne zu stören, im Kältegerät verbleiben, wenn sie gerade nicht benutzt wird, und ist, wenn sie wieder gebraucht wird, sofort zur Hand. Fig. 5 zeigt eine Abwandlung der Flaschenablage 2, bei der die oberen und unteren Schenkel 15, 16 der C-Profile nicht exakt gleich breit sind. Dies hat zur Folge, dass die Platte 12 im Querschnitt nicht rechteckig ist, sondern trapezförmig. Diese Trapezform macht es unmöglich, die Flaschenablage 2 mit der leeren Nut 13 nach unten stabil hochkant zu stellen. Die Außenseite 18 der Stahlstange 17 ist jedoch rechtwinklig zur Oberseite 8 und Unterseite der Flaschenablage 2 orientiert, so dass die Ablage 2 sicher hochkant steht, wenn die Stahlstange 17 nach unten gekehrt ist. The upper and lower legs 15, 16 of the C-profiles are the same width, so that the entire bottle rack 2 is rectangular in cross-section. One of the two grooves 13 contains a steel rod 17. The steel rod 17 fills the entire cross section of the groove 13, apart from a small game possibly required for the introduction of an adhesive layer. The steel rod 17 may also be frictionally held in the groove 13. It extends over the entire length of the groove 13. Since the density of the steel rod 17 is significantly greater than that of the plastic of the plate 7, the center of gravity 19 of the bottle shelf 2 is not in the geometric center of the cross section shown, but is from there to the steel bar 17 postponed. Therefore, the bottle tray 2 is stable even in a vertical orientation, in which the steel rod 17 rests on the refrigerated goods 1. The bottle tray 2 can therefore be conveniently placed edgewise on the refrigerated goods carrier 1, as shown in Fig. 4. By being placed in this vertical orientation immediately adjacent to a side wall of the refrigerator body, it takes up little space and does not affect the use of the device. Therefore, the bottle rest 2 can also remain in the refrigerator without disturbing it when it is not in use and is immediately at hand when needed again. Fig. 5 shows a modification of the bottle tray 2, in which the upper and lower legs 15, 16 of the C-profiles are not exactly the same width. This has the consequence that the plate 12 is not rectangular in cross-section, but trapezoidal. This trapezoidal shape makes it impossible to put the bottle shelf 2 with the empty groove 13 down stable stable. However, the outer side 18 of the steel rod 17 is oriented at right angles to the top 8 and bottom of the bottle tray 2, so that the tray 2 is safely upright when the steel rod 17 is turned down.
Da die Nuten 13 an den beiden Längsseiten 9 der Flaschenablage 2 kongruent sind, kann die Stahlstange 17 in jeder von beiden montiert werden. Zweckmäßigerweise ist sie jedoch in derjenigen Nut 13 platziert, die dem Boden des Flaschensymbols 12 benachbart ist, so dass das Flaschensymbol 12 aufrecht steht, wenn die Flaschenablage 2 stabil hochkant steht. So verdeutlicht das Flaschensymbol 12 nicht nur die Zweckbestimmung der Flaschenablage 2, sondern auch ihren richtigen Gebrauch: die richtige Orientierung der Flaschenablage 2 ist diejenige, in der auch die dargestellte Flasche stabil steht, mit dem Boden nach unten. Since the grooves 13 on the two longitudinal sides 9 of the bottle rack 2 are congruent, the steel bar 17 can be mounted in either. Conveniently, however, it is placed in that groove 13 which is adjacent to the bottom of the bottle icon 12, so that the bottle icon 12 stands upright when the bottle shelf 2 stands upright in a stable manner. Thus, the bottle symbol 12 illustrates not only the purpose of the bottle tray 2, but also its correct use: the correct orientation of the bottle tray 2 is the one in which the bottle shown is stable, with the bottom down.
Fig. 6 zeigt einen Querschnitt einer Flaschenablage gemäß einer vereinfachten Fig. 6 shows a cross section of a bottle tray according to a simplified
Abwandlung. Diese Flaschenablage ist komplett aus Kunststoff gefertigt; sie kann einteilig gespritzt oder auch wie oben beschrieben aus einem zentralen extrudierten Profil und auf dessen Enden aufgesteckten Schmalseiten-Elementen zusammengefügt sein. Eine Konzentration der Masse der Platte 7 an einer der Längs-Schmalseiten 9 wird hier erreicht, indem die Platte an dieser Längs-Schmalseite 9 massiv, an der Modification. This bottle rack is made entirely of plastic; it can be injection molded in one piece or, as described above, assembled from a central extruded profile and narrow-side elements attached to its ends. A concentration of the mass of the plate 7 at one of the longitudinal narrow sides 9 is achieved here by the plate on this longitudinal narrow side 9 solid, at the
gegenüberliegenden Längs-Schmalseite 9 hingegen weitgehend hohl ausgebildet ist. opposite longitudinal narrow side 9, however, is largely hollow.
