EP2549213B1 - Shelf for a storage device and storage device for temperature control and storing of beverage bottles - Google Patents

Description

The invention relates to a shelf for a storage cupboard for storing and tempering beverage bottles and / or other cylindrical containers, in particular for air-conditioned and / or tempered storage of wine bottles, according to the preamble of claim 1, and a storage cupboard according to claim 22.

There are storage cupboards of the aforementioned type on the market that e.g. enjoy increasing popularity as wine temperature cabinets. These storage cupboards for air-conditioned and / or tempered beverage storage are important for wine lovers, for example, who are keen to keep their wines or different types of wine exactly at the required storage temperatures. In addition, however, it is possible with such a storage cupboard to store other types of beverages such as beer, wine, whisk (e) y together or sorted. Known storage cupboards have several climate zones in which different temperatures can be adjusted.

In a widespread embodiment of wine tempering cabinets, support gratings made of wood are used for the storage of the wine bottles, which have a frame formed from cross and longitudinal struts. The support struts used to support wine bottles are arranged parallel to one another in the longitudinal direction in this frame and are non-detachably connected to the frame. The support gratings formed in this way are detachably and removably mounted on a telescopic rail mechanism arranged in the device. A disadvantage of these support gratings is that the rigid arrangement of the support struts does not allow an optimal support option that is adapted to different bottle shapes. In addition, it is difficult to have additional accessories or other uses. Furthermore, with these support gratings, standing storage of the bottles in the storage cupboard is hardly possible without additional holding mechanisms. In order to remedy this and to enable flexible handling in this context, the DE 20 2009 018 017 U1 proposed to provide a frame with removable and adjustable support struts arranged therein. The position fixation of the support struts in the frame should be achieved in this embodiment by mutually corresponding teeth, which must be attached to the cross struts of the frame and at the ends of the support struts. It is obvious that this type of training is very complex in production and that a sufficient fit and a vibration-free support of the support struts in the frame are hardly possible can be produced. For this reason, the embodiment described here has not been put into practice.

Another embodiment of a cooling device with pull-out support grids and an adjustability of the support struts, according to the preamble of claim 1, is based on the DE 101 45143 A1 out. The support struts here consist of so-called rods, which can be detachably inserted into the frame at selectable intervals. The connection between the cross struts of the frame and the support struts is to be established in that individual fastening pins are used in bores of the cross struts which can engage in blind bores of the support struts. The training described here for receiving the support struts in the frame is complex to manufacture and assemble and in practical use for the user difficult to handle. Therefore, no practical implementation has become known for the solution proposed here.

The invention thus presents the problem of avoiding the disadvantages described above and of creating a shelf of the type mentioned at the beginning, in which the adjustability of the support struts can be implemented in a simple manner and with simple means. Furthermore, a flexible application of different possible uses is to be achieved and additional possible uses are to be opened up within the cooling device. According to the invention, this problem is solved by a shelf with the features of dependent claim 1. Advantageous refinements and developments of the invention result from the following subclaims. A storage cupboard equipped with the shelf according to the invention results from claim 23.

With the new design of the shelf according to the invention, simple and inexpensive to manufacture means also make it possible to adjust the support struts within the frame, which is extremely easy to handle.

The advantages that can be achieved with the invention also consist in the fact that, in addition to the horizontal, the bottles can also be stored standing upright by simple conversion. In addition, different inserts can be easily integrated in the new type of shelf, which opens up additional uses for preparing enjoyment.

The provision of accessories in connection with the consumption of the drinks can also be made possible in a wide variety of designs.

Furthermore, it is of particular advantage that the shelf according to the invention enables bottles to be stored in a fairly vibration-free manner, which is known to be of considerable importance particularly for valuable wines.

A marking aid provided according to the invention at least on the rear cross strut of the shelf simplifies the user e.g. the restoration of the standard setting for the supporting struts to be used. After the user has previously changed the distances between the support struts or completely removed some of the support struts, he can restore the distance dimension aimed at storing wine bottles in the form of Bordeaux bottles in order to optimally utilize capacity. Furthermore, marking elements can be attached which specify certain distances for the support struts to be used for receiving other bottle shapes or certain distances for the insert elements to be used.

Overall, the shelf according to the invention results in a high degree of flexibility in the use of the supporting grate and a variety of possible uses in connection with the enjoyment of wine-like drinks.

In the Fig. 1 A cooling device 1 or storage cabinet for holding bottles 18, in particular wine bottles, is shown by way of example with the door 20 open and with a partially pulled out shelf 9 mounted on a telescopic rail mechanism 8.

The partitions 22 fixedly attached to the inside of the cooling device 1 divide the interior of the device into climate zones I, II III, in which different temperatures can be regulated, in order, for. B. to set the appropriate temperatures for the storage of sparkling wine or champagne as well as red and white wine.

In the embodiment shown, the shelf 9 is designed as a frame-like support grate 2 for receiving the stored goods on the support struts 5 arranged in the longitudinal direction. In the following, we will go into more detail on how the shelf can be converted by integrating various insert elements for different applications and for the provision of accessories, which means that the shelf can also be used as a so-called preparatory segment.

The Fig. 2 shows the support grate 2 designed according to the invention in a single illustration. Within the frame formed from the cross struts 11, 12 and the longitudinal struts 13, 14, five support struts 5 are used here in any arrangement and with different lateral spacings.

As can be seen in the drawing, the upper sides of the support struts 5 are in the inserted state somewhat below the level of the cross struts 11, 12 and at the same level with the longitudinal struts 13, 14 of the support grate 2. This arrangement forms on the cross struts 11, 12 barrier edges, which should prevent the wine bottles from sliding off the support grid 2.

The connecting means 3, which are already clearly recognizable in the drawing in the cross strut 11, form a type of engagement contour, which interact with the pin-like engagement elements 4 attached to the support struts 5.

In this embodiment, the connecting means 3 are inserted according to the invention as a one-piece, strand-shaped profile element in a groove 27 in the cross strut. It is also already evident here that the engagement contours formed in the profile element are designed as engagement openings 31 that are open inwards.

The type of connection technology between the support struts 5 and the cross struts 11, 12 is clearly shown in this embodiment Fig. 3 out.

In this embodiment, the cross struts 11, 12 are designed for releasable arrangement of the support struts 5 with connecting means 3, which are a series of side by side have arranged engagement openings 31. The engagement openings 31 are designed to be open both from above and on the side directed towards the inside of the supporting grate. The pin-like engagement elements 4 arranged on the support struts 5 can engage in these through openings 31. The engagement openings 31 are therefore designed to be open on the inside, so that dimensional tolerances and also a change in length in the wooden struts 5 can be compensated.

The arranged on the cross struts 11, 12 connecting means 3 are preferably made of an elastic material, such as. B. made of plastic. In a preferred embodiment, the connecting means 3 arranged on the cross struts are designed as a one-piece, strand-shaped profile element which can be inserted into a groove 27 milled into the cross strut 11, 12. Such a profile element can, for. B. inexpensive to produce in plastic injection molding.

Instead of a plastic part, the use of a sheet metal part to be produced by the stamping process could also be considered.

An example is in the Figure 3 a support strut 5 is shown, which has an engagement element 4 in the form of a pin on both sides of its underside. The pins 4 can be inserted into the corresponding bores 31 of the engagement contour 3. This creates a releasable connection between the frame 2 and the support strut 5, it being possible to change the position of the support strut 5 within the frame 2 in a very different arrangement in a very simple manner.

In an advantageous embodiment, the pin-like pins 4 arranged on the support struts 5 are frustoconical or conical, which facilitates threading into the through openings 31. Furthermore, this shape ensures that the pins 4 can be sufficiently firmly clamped in the openings. These pins 4 are also preferably made of plastic. Of course, it would also be possible to use a metal pin. The pin-like engaging elements 4 are inserted into blind holes arranged on the underside of the support struts 5.

Based on the representation of the Figure 2 in connection with the Figure 3 it can be seen that a plurality of support struts 5 can be used in any number adjacent to one another or at different distances from one another in the frame 2.

In the Figure 4 a support grate 2 with fully equipped support struts 5 can be seen as it is offered in the factory delivery state. The distances between the support struts 5 are chosen so that wine bottles in the Bordeaux bottle shape can be placed on the support grate in an optimal position and with an optimal holding capacity. In the The usual standardized dimensions of a wine cabinet, as shown here, twelve support struts 5 are used within the frame.

In the Figure 5 the frame of the supporting grate 2 is shown in a single view, shown in section, from which special structural features of this supporting grate 2 emerge. The lateral longitudinal struts 13, 14 of the supporting grate 2 are designed with a rectangular profile in order to create a receiving space for part of the telescopic rail mechanism 8 in the outwardly angled area and to enable a suitable shape for interaction with the telescopic rail mechanism 8. Furthermore, the front cross strut 12 is designed to be somewhat wider, so that seen from the front, its upper edge and its lower edge protrude beyond the level of the longitudinal edges 13, 14. The result of this is that a barrier edge is formed in the upper region, which prevents the bottles lying on the support grid 2 from sliding off unintentionally. Furthermore, the cross strut 12 obscures the view into the receiving space 66 of the longitudinal struts 13, 14, so that the telescopic rail mechanism 8 engaging therein cannot be optically disruptive. This illustration also shows very clearly how the connecting means 3 fit into the cross struts 11, 12 in a positive and non-positive manner.

From the Figure 6 is a support grate 2 in a further embodiment, in which the front and rear cross struts 11, 12 and the lateral longitudinal struts 13, 14 also form a frame in which the longitudinal struts 5 can be detachably and adjustably arranged, as shown in the drawing is indicated by the symbolically represented arrow.

Along the cross struts 11, 12, the connecting means 3 are attached in the interior of the frame with a type of engagement contour, which in the present example consists of a rail 33 directed towards the interior of the frame. Numerous slots 32, each opening into an opening 31, are let into this rail 33 at the same distance. The opening 31 and the slots 32 are designed according to the invention as engagement openings 31 which are open from above and open towards the inside.

Even with such a design of the connecting means 3 and the engagement contours, it is possible in a simple manner to releasably and adjustably use different support struts 5 in the frame of the support grate 2.

The rail with the engagement contours 3 can either be attached as a separate part below or on the inside of the cross struts 11, 12. The cross struts 11, 12, which are preferably made of wood, can also be designed as a one-piece molded part with the connecting means 3.

The term “engagement openings 31” is to be understood to mean that the pin-like engagement element attached to the support struts 5 can dip into an opening of the connecting means 3 from above when inserted into the frame, and that there is a certain amount of play between the engagement openings 31 and the engagement elements 4 is, whereby a tolerance compensation and compensation due to the material expansion of the wooden struts 5 can take place.

The distance between the engagement openings 31 in the connecting means 3 of the cross struts 11, 12 is here also coordinated with the width of the support struts 5 and the arrangement of the corresponding engagement elements 4 such that the support struts 5 can be used in the frame at any distance from one another or directly against one another ,

In the Fig. 7 A support grate 2 is shown, in which the rear cross strut 11 is provided with an attachment part 6 in order to create an inclined support option for the wine bottles to be stored. This design makes the labels of the wine bottles picked up easier to recognize. This attachment part 6 also has the connecting means 3 according to the invention. Furthermore, means not shown here are provided on the top part 6 and the rear cross strut 11, which allow an easily detachable and connectable coupling of these parts. The attachment part 6 and the rear cross struts 11 can of course also be formed in one piece.

In the Fig. 8 a further embodiment of a support grate 2 is shown, in which recesses are incorporated in the front, somewhat wider cross strut 12 of the frame, into which accessories 40 can be inserted, such as, for. B. pourer, bottle opener, etc. As an alternative, this area could also be considered as a separate part which could be placed or coupled to the front cross strut 12.

The Fig. 9 shows a support grate 2, which is covered with a fabric web 50 - here preferably made of leather. By means of the support struts 5 arranged underneath at suitable intervals, trough-shaped receptacles can be formed, for example for the storage of wine bottles, as can be seen clearly from the drawing. Such a design could be considered in particular for a higher quality equipment or for particularly fine wines. Instead of a fabric made of leather, there are also designs that are made of another suitable material, such as z. B. consist of a braid material 51 ( Fig. 10 ).

The Figures 11 to 14 show possible uses of special inserts that can be used in the support grid 2 according to the invention.

In the Fig. 11 u. 12, embodiment variants are shown in which an insert 10 has a drawer 54 below its support base 53, which is mounted so that it can be pulled out in a corresponding pull-out device 55. This additional part can be dimensioned such that only one part ( Fig. 8 ) or the whole part ( Figure 9 ) of the grate is filled.

In another embodiment, pull-out devices 55 for the pull-out arrangement of a drawer 29 could also be attached below the support struts 5 and / or the longitudinal struts 13, 14 of the support grate 2, which enables an individual and flexible design with regard to the size of the drawers 54.

The embodiments according to 13 and 14 show a support grate 2, in which an insert 10 can be used partially or over the entire surface with a glass plate 56 flush with the support grate 2. This creates a storage space or work surface that can be used to prepare drinks or for the additional consumption of accompanying luxury foods. In the side area here brackets are attached, which form a kind of side rail 57 and are also intended as a handle for handling this insert 10.

The inserts 10, as exemplified in the Figures 11 to 14 emerge can be designed in such a way that they rest on the support struts 5 and / or on the longitudinal struts 13, 14. However, it is also possible for the inserts 10 to rest only on the connecting means 3 attached to the cross struts 11, 12.

In the Figure 15 is shown in a partial view of a support grid 5 in a wine cabinet in the partially pulled out state. Wine bottles 18 are placed on the side of the supporting grate 2 and an insert 10 is inserted in the middle, on which drinking glasses 60 or additionally bottles can be placed.

A suitable insert 10 is shown in Figure 16 shown as a detail. The differently dimensioned trough-shaped recesses 60 and 61 in the support base 53 serve to hold drinking glasses and / or bottles or also a decanter. The handles 62 are used for the removable handling of this insert 10.

The Fig. 17 shows a section of the inside of the wine cabinet and clarifies in connection with Fig. 18 the variable and flexible possible uses of the support grid 2 according to the invention.

In the area of the lower climatic zone III, three support grids 2 arranged one above the other are shown, an opening 24 being formed in the central support grate 2 by omitting a few support struts 5 through which the bottles 18 standing on the lower support grate 2 can protrude. In the lower support grate 2, several support struts 5, which are arranged directly next to one another, are inserted below this opening, so that here the storage surface for the standing storage of the bottles 18 is formed. In addition, the arrangement of an insert 10 can also be seen in this supporting grate 2, which will be discussed in more detail below. The remaining bottles 18 within this climate zone III of the storage cupboard 1 are stored horizontally, as shown, in a conventional manner.

A peculiarity of the in the Figure 18 Shelf 9 shown in detail consists in that an insert 10 is inserted between the frame of the supporting grate 2 and a supporting strut 5. This insert 10 can be used as a shelf for objects or as a work surface for the preparation of drinks and food, such as. B. serve cheese and bread. At the same time, the insert 10 can be used as a removable tray, the structure 42 shown in the drawing being able to act as a railing or as a handle.

In addition to this use, a plurality of support struts 5 which are arranged directly next to one another are inserted in the support grate 2, so that there is a further storage surface, for. B. for bottles and other items. In the area next to this shelf, further support struts 5 or other inserts can be provided as required. But it can also - as in Figure 18 shown - an opening 24 are left free to create a space for bottles standing upright below the shelf, as shown in Fig. 17 the case is.

In order to enable the functionalities described above and to create variable possible uses, the support grate 2 can also be designed here in such a way that the surfaces of the longitudinal struts 13, 14 forming the frame of the support grate 2 and the support struts 5 are aligned to the same height level. Thus, inserts 10 can rest with their lateral support areas on the support struts and / or the longitudinal struts 13, 14 of the frame. Furthermore, it is also possible for the inserts to rest on the inwardly projecting connecting means 3 within the frame.

If the longitudinal struts 13, 14 or the support struts on the upper side are aligned with a different level, these height differences would of course be compensated for by spacing elements not shown here.

In Fig. 19 An insert 10 which can be coupled to the support grate 2 is shown and is designed as an accessory in the form of a bottle holder 64. This insert can be provided with an anti-slip material on the underside of its support base 53 to improve the stability on the support struts 5. If this is not sufficient, the support base 53 can be fastened to the support struts 5 in a suitable manner by means of locking means (not shown here).

Another variant of an insert 10 is shown in FIG Figure 20 shown. Here, the insert 10 is used as a receiving box or as a box for receiving and holding various utensils.

In the example shown here, the insert 10 consists of a box 58, which can be closed by a cover 23. A negative contour is present in the box for each of the three objects 15, 16, 17 shown, so that the objects are accommodated in the insert 10 in a fixed position. To facilitate the removal of the objects 15, 16, 17 from the insert 10, recessed grips 25 are also provided in the region of the objects 15, 16, 17. The insert is placed laterally on two support struts 5, which in the Figure 10 is only hinted at.

The Figures 21 and 22 show a further interesting embodiment and usable functionality of the support struts 5. Here 5 receiving devices 65 are attached below the support struts for the hanging storage of drinking glasses 7. The receiving devices 65 are designed as simple angle profiles. Two oppositely aligned angle profiles 65, the receiving devices z. B. form for a stem-shaped drinking glass, as in Fig. 22 you can see.

From the 23, 24 u. 25, solutions can be seen as to how a vibration-free or vibration-free connection between the telescopic rail mechanism 8 and the supporting grate 2 can be brought about. For this purpose, the supporting gratings 2 mounted on the telescopic rail mechanism 8 can be equipped with damping means 44. In the example according to Fig. 23 The damping means 44 arranged on the supporting grate 5 are designed as spring struts for engaging in the telescopic rail mechanism 8. In the example according to Fig. 24 it is provided to attach shaped elements made of silicone to the supporting grate, which can engage in a corresponding manner in corresponding receptacles of the telescopic rail mechanism 8.

In the Fig. 25 A simple solution is shown, in which an elastic molded part 45, for example a rubber part, is provided as the damping means 44, which can engage in openings 46, 47 of the longitudinal struts 13, 14 and which can be slipped onto the support pins 81 of the telescopic rail 8. In an advantageous embodiment, the openings 47 on one of the longitudinal struts 13, 14 are oval or in the form of an elongated hole in order to make it easier to place the supporting grate 2 on the telescopic rail 8.

The Figure 26 illustrates a detail and in section in a single representation of a telescopic rail mechanism 8 without a supporting grid 2. In order to protect the mechanism of the telescopic rail mechanism 8 within the storage cupboard 1 and to cover it in a visually appealing manner, a cover 19 is placed here on the telescopic rail mechanism 8. This cover 19, which is approximately U-shaped in cross section, is made of plastic and is placed on the telescopic rail mechanism 8. In the present case, the telescopic rail mechanism 8 is in turn mounted on a raised contour 26 of the storage cabinet, which quasi forms a mounting bracket for the telescopic rail mechanism 8. The fixation of the cover 19 to the telescopic rail mechanism 8 or on the inner wall of the storage cupboard 1 can take place via corresponding clamping or latching connection elements.

In an advantageous embodiment, the fixation can be effected by means of holding elements, which interact by means of magnetic force, on the telescopic rail mechanism 8 or on the inner wall of the storage cabinet 1. At the in Figure 26 shown embodiment are glued to the inside of the cover 19 magnetic elements 83, which ensure with the metal part 82 of the telescopic rail mechanism 8 for the sufficient fixation of the cover 19 on the telescopic rail mechanism 8.

A particularly useful additional device is achieved by the design of the shelf with marking elements 43, as is shown in FIG Figures 27 to 29 is explained.

In the cutouts of the Figures 27 and 28 the support grate 2 is shown once with and once without the support struts 5. The marking elements 43 indicated on the connecting means 3 indicate to the user where in the standard setting the support struts 5 ( Fig. 28 ) must be placed.

These marking elements 43 serve primarily to find predetermined positions for the placement of the support struts. Furthermore, the standard or factory setting can be restored with the optimal average distance between adjacent support struts 5 in order to enable the storage of as many bottles as possible in accordance with the Bordeaux bottle standard on a support grid.

In the Figure 29 Examples of the attachment of the marking elements 43 are shown. Here, in the area of the rear and also the front cross strut 11, 12 and / or the connecting means 3 assigned to them, the marking elements 43 for receiving the support struts 5 can be arranged in different shapes. This can be achieved by means of lettering, engravings, color design and additional marking carriers such as adhesive strips or the like.
