Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Halterung für einen Speisenbehälter mit einem abstehenden Rand, insbesondere einen Gastronorm-Behälter, in einem Kühlschrank, mit wenigstens zwei an einem Fachboden anbringbaren Haltern, die geeignet sind, als Auflagen für den abstehenden Rand des Speisenbehälters zu dienen, wobei die Halterung ein starres Gestell aus einer endlosen Schleife aus einem Rund- oder Flachmaterial ist, in der zwei erste Halter als gerade, zueinander parallele erste Schleifenabschnitte ausgebildet sind, die in einer ersten Ebene liegen und geeignet sind, als Auflagen für den abstehenden Rand des Speisenbehälters zu dienen, und in der zwei zweite Halter als gerade, zueinander parallele zweite Schleifenabschnitte in einer von der ersten Ebene beabstandeten, parallelen zweiten Ebene rechtwinkelig zu den beiden ersten Schleifenabschnitten ausgebildet sind, die zum verschiebbaren Lagern des Gestells an einem Fachboden geeignet sind.The invention relates to a holder for a food container with a protruding edge, in particular a Gastronorm container, in a refrigerator, with at least two holders which can be attached to a shelf and are suitable for serving as supports for the protruding edge of the food container, the holder is a rigid frame made of an endless loop of round or flat material, in which two first holders are formed as straight, mutually parallel first loop sections lying in a first plane and suitable to serve as supports for the protruding edge of the food container , and in which two second brackets are formed as straight, mutually parallel second loop portions in a parallel second plane spaced from the first plane, perpendicular to the two first loop portions, suitable for slidably supporting the rack on a shelf.

Eine ähnliche Halterung ist aus dem Dokument DE 10 2009 028 787 A1 bekannt. Sie ist dort als Teil eines Haushaltsgerätes, aufweisend einen Korpus mit einem Innenbehälter, der einen Kühlraum bildet, und mindestens einer im Kühlraum gelagerten Abstellplatte für Kühlgut, welche Durchbrüche zur Fixierung von wenigstens einer Halterung für einen entnehmbaren Behälter, insbesondere für einen Gastronorm-Behälter aufweist, beschrieben. Die Abstellplatte mit den Durchbrüchen ersetzt einen üblichen Fachboden und weist Durchbrüche zum wiederholt lösbaren Befestigen der Halterung mit Rastmitteln auf. Die Durchbrüche für die Halterung dienen zur Bildung von unterschiedlichem Breitenabständen zweier gegenüberliegender Halter. Bei dem Einsatz dieser bekannten Halterung muss demgemäß ein üblicher Fachboden zunächst durch einen speziell ausgebildeten Fachboden ersetzt werden, an welchem Halter für einen Gastronorm-Behälter auf ganz spezielle Weise zu fixieren sind.A similar mount is from the document DE 10 2009 028 787 A1 famous. It is there as part of a household appliance, having a body with an inner container, which forms a refrigerated space, and at least one shelf for refrigerated goods stored in the refrigerated space, which has openings for fixing at least one holder for a removable container, in particular for a Gastronorm container , described. The shelf with the openings replaces a conventional shelf and has openings for repeatedly releasably attaching the holder with locking means. The openings for the holder are used to form different width distances between two opposing holders. Accordingly, when using this known holder, a conventional shelf must first be replaced by a specially designed shelf, on which holders for a Gastronorm container are to be fixed in a very special way.

Aus dem Dokument DE 89 02 892 U1 ist eine Tragvorrichtung für Behälter, insbesondere Gastronorm-Behälter, bekannt, die zum Einsatz in einem Heißluft-/Dampfgarer mit beidseitigen Einschubschienen mit horizontalen Auflageflanschen für einschiebbare Bratroste od. dgl. Roste ausgebildet ist. Die Tragvorrichtung umfasst einen Tragrahmen mit Auflagerschenkeln zum Auflegen auf zwei höhengleiche Einschubschienen und mit die Auflagerschenkel verbindenden Tragschenkeln für mindestens eine zu den Einschubschienen parallel verlaufende Einschubleiste mit ein- oder beidseitigen Auflagerflanschen. Der Tragrahmen ist der rechteckige Rahmen eines für einen handelsüblichen Heißluft-/Dampfgarer bestimmten Bratrostes. Der Tragrahmen weist an zumindest den beiden Seiten in Einschubrichtung hinten liegenden Eckbereichen Haltehaken zum Hintergreifen bzw. Verrasten an den Einschubschienen auf. Eine Einschubleiste ist mittig zwischen den beiden Auflagerschenkeln angeordnet, so dass sich beidseitig der Einschubleiste halb so große Gastronorm-Behälter als üblicherweise einschieben lassen. Diese bekannte Tragvorrichtung erfordert zwar nicht das Weglassen eines üblichen Fachbodens, es muss aber statt des üblichen einschiebbaren Bratrostes ein spezieller Tragrahmen mit einer Einschubleiste hergestellt werden, der zu seiner Halterung in beidseitig vorhandene Einschubschienen mit horizontalen Auflagerflanschen eingesetzt werden muss. Auch das ist aufwendig und überdies für den Einsatz in einem Kühlschrank nicht geeignet, wenn dieser nicht mit beidseitigen Einschubschienen mit horizontalen Auflagerflanschen versehen ist, auf denen der Tragrahmen eingeschoben werden kann.From the document DE 89 02 892 U1 a support device for containers, in particular Gastronorm containers, is known which is designed for use in a hot air/steam cooker with slide-in rails on both sides with horizontal support flanges for slide-in grids or similar grids. The support device comprises a support frame with support legs for placing on two slide-in rails at the same height and with support legs connecting the support legs for at least one slide-in strip running parallel to the slide-in rails with one-sided or two-sided support flanges. The support frame is the rectangular frame of a grid intended for a commercially available hot air/steam cooker. The support frame has, on at least both sides in the rear corner regions in the direction of insertion, retaining hooks for reaching behind or latching onto the insertion rails. A slide-in rail is arranged in the middle between the two support legs, so that Gastronorm containers half the size of the usual ones can be inserted on both sides of the slide-in rail. This known support device does not require the omission of a conventional shelf, but instead of the usual slide-in grate, a special support frame with a slide-in strip must be produced, which must be used to hold it in slide-in rails with horizontal support flanges that are present on both sides. This is also expensive and, moreover, not suitable for use in a refrigerator if it is not provided with slide-in rails with horizontal bearing flanges on both sides, onto which the supporting frame can be inserted.

Aus dem Internet ist unter http:\\www.bosch-eshop.com eine Flaschenablage bekannt, die sich unter einer als Fachboden ausgebildeten Glasplatte anbringen lässt, so dass die Stellfläche im Kühlschrank dabei nicht blockiert wird. Diese Flaschenablage hat den Vorteil, dass der Fachboden nicht ausgetauscht oder speziell hergerichtet zu werden braucht. Die Tragfähigkeit einer solchen Flaschenablage ist aber für Speisenbehälter, insbesondere Gastronorm-Behälter zu gering. Gefüllte Speisenbehälter dieser Art wiegen ein Vielfaches von dem, was eine Flaschenablage in einem Kühlschrank üblicherweise zu tragen hat.A bottle rack is known from the Internet at http:\\www.bosch-eshop.com, which can be attached under a glass plate designed as a shelf, so that the space in the refrigerator is not blocked. This bottle rack has the advantage that the shelf does not need to be replaced or specially prepared. However, the load-bearing capacity of such a bottle rack is too low for food containers, in particular Gastronorm containers. Filled food containers of this type weigh many times what a bottle rack in a refrigerator usually has to support.

Aus dem Dokument US 2,089,359 A ist eine Halterung der eingangs genannten Art bekannt. Bei dieser bekannten Halterung ist nicht gewährleistet, dass ein Speisenbehälter in das Gestell eingeschoben werden kann, ohne mit den vertikalen dritten Schleifenabschnitten zu kollidieren.From the document U.S. 2,089,359A a holder of the type mentioned is known. With this known mount, there is no guarantee that a food container can be pushed into the frame without colliding with the vertical third loop sections.

Aus dem Dokument US 2,215,665 A ist eine zum Einsatz in einem Kühlschrank bestimmte Halterung bekannt, die in zwei Teilen durch Biegen hergestellt ist.From the document U.S. 2,215,665A discloses a support intended for use in a refrigerator, made in two parts by bending.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Halterung der eingangs genannten Art so auszubilden, dass sie in Verbindung mit einem üblichen Fachboden in einem Kühlschrank einsetzbar ist, ohne dass der Fachboden einer speziellen Ausbildung bedürfte und ohne dass ein Behälter beim Einschieben in das Gestell mit Teilen des Gestells kollidiert. Außerdem soll die Halterung im Hinblick auf gefüllte Speisenbehälter ein ausreichend hohes Tragevermögen aufweisen.The object of the invention is to design a holder of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that it can be used in conjunction with a conventional shelf in a refrigerator, without the shelf requiring special training and without a container being pushed into the frame with parts of the frame collides. In addition, the holder should have a sufficiently high carrying capacity with regard to filled food containers.

Diese Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß durch eine Halterung gemäß Anspruch 1 gelöst.According to the invention, this object is achieved by a holder according to claim 1 .

Die erfindungsgemäße Halterung ist aufgrund ihrer Ausbildung als ein starres Gestell mit einem so hohen Tragvermögen versehen, dass sie gefüllte Speisenbehälter problemlos tragen kann. Die Halterung nach der Erfindung ist in jedem beliebigen Kühlschrank einsetzbar, um Gastronorm-Behälter, die in das Gestell eingeschoben werden, aufzunehmen. Dazu ist es lediglich erforderlich, einen Fachboden wie z. B. einen Glasboden oder einen Rost aus dem Kühlschrank herauszunehmen, den Fachboden in das Gestell einzufädeln und den Fachboden wieder in den Kühlschrank einzusetzen, um dann einen GN-Behälter in das Gestell einschieben und auch das gesamte Gestell bei Bedarf längs des Fachbodens verschieben zu können. Die Montage der Halterung nach der Erfindung ist somit sehr einfach und bedarf keinerlei Änderungen an dem Fachboden. Die besondere Ausbildung der erfindungsgemäßen Halterung als ein starres Gestell wird dadurch ermöglicht, dass das Gestell im Wesentlichen ein Rechteck aus einem stabilen Draht ist, bei welchem die Schmalseiten in einer höheren Ebene als die Längsseiten liegen, oder umgekehrt, je nach dem Format des Gastronorm-Behälters. Die beiden ersten Halter der Halterung nach der Erfindung, die die Auflagen für den Rand des Gastronorm-Behälters, also Gleitbahnen für denselben zu dessen verschiebbarer Lagerung bilden, sind mit den beiden zweiten Haltern, die zu ihnen jeweils rechtwinkelig angeordnet sind, einfach in der Höhe versetzt angeordnet. Die Schleifenabschnitte zwischen den ersten und den zweiten beiden Haltern müssen dabei lediglich einen derartigen gegenseitigen lichten Abstand aufweisen, dass ein GN-Behälter zwischen sie eingeschoben und dabei mit seinem überstehenden Rand auf den Gleitbahnen verschoben werden kann. Bei der Halterung nach der Erfindung sind benachbarte Enden der ersten und zweiten Schleifenabschnitte jeweils durch einen dritten Schleifenabschnitt miteinander verbunden, und jeweils ein Paar benachbarter dritter Schleifenabschnitte begrenzt zwischen den beiden Ebenen eine Öffnung mit einer lichten Weite, die größer als die lichte Weite eines gegenseitigen Abstands der ersten Schleifenabschnitte ist. Das gewährleistet, dass ein Speisenbehälter in das Gestell eingeschoben werden kann, ohne mit den vertikalen dritten Schleifenabschnitten zu kollidieren.Due to its design as a rigid frame, the holder according to the invention has such a high load-bearing capacity that it can easily carry filled food containers. The holder according to the invention can be used in any refrigerator to accommodate Gastronorm containers that are pushed into the frame. It is only necessary to use a shelf such. B. remove a glass shelf or a grate from the refrigerator, thread the shelf into the frame and put the shelf back into the refrigerator, in order to then slide a GN container into the frame and also to be able to move the entire frame along the shelf if necessary . The assembly of the holder according to the invention is therefore very simple and requires no changes to the shelf. The special design of the holder according to the invention as a rigid frame is made possible by the fact that the frame is essentially a rectangle made of stable wire, in which the narrow sides are at a higher level than the long sides, or vice versa, depending on the format of the Gastronorm container. The first two holders of the holder according to the invention, the conditions for the edge of the Gastronorm container, so slideways for the same to its form sliding storage, are simply offset in height with the two second holders, which are each arranged at right angles to them. The loop sections between the first and the second two holders only have to have such a mutual clear distance that a GN container can be inserted between them and it can be pushed with its protruding edge on the slideways. In the mount of the invention, adjacent ends of the first and second loop portions are each connected to each other by a third loop portion, and each pair of adjacent third loop portions defines an opening between the two planes with a clearance greater than the clearance of a mutual spacing of the first loop sections. This ensures that a food container can be slid into the rack without interfering with the vertical third loop sections.

Wenn im Rahmen der vorliegenden Anmeldung von einem Gastronorm-Behälter die Rede ist, so handelt es sich dabei um einen Speisenbehälter nach der europäischen Norm EN 631-1 und 2. Ein solcher Speisenbehälter hat eine genormte Größe von 2/1, 1/1, 1/2 , 2/3, 1/3, 1/6, 1/9, 1/4, 2/8, 2/4, für die die Maße von horizontalen Auflageabständen ebenfalls durch die Norm festgelegt sind. Bei solchen Speisenbehältern hat der abstehende umlaufende Rand eine genormte Breite, so dass die Auflagen entsprechende genormte horizontale Abstände haben. Statt Speisenbehältern können auch Körbe für Geschirr und Glas in der Halterung benutzt werden, die in gewerblichen Spülmaschinen eingesetzt werden. Die Gleitbahnen für solche Körbe müssen dabei ebenfalls die für die Speisenbehälter genormten Nennmaße aufweisen.If a Gastronorm container is mentioned in the context of the present application, it is a food container according to the European standard EN 631-1 and 2. Such a food container has a standardized size of 2/1, 1/1, 1/2 , 2/3, 1/3, 1/6, 1/9, 1/4, 2/8, 2/4, for which the dimensions of horizontal support distances are also specified by the standard. In the case of such food containers, the protruding peripheral edge has a standardized width, so that the supports have corresponding standardized horizontal distances. Instead of food containers, baskets for crockery and glass, which are used in commercial dishwashers, can also be used in the holder. The slideways for such baskets must also have the standardized nominal dimensions for the food containers.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Halterung nach der Erfindung bilden die Gegenstände der abhängigen Ansprüche.Advantageous configurations of the holder according to the invention form the subject matter of the dependent claims.

In einer Ausgestaltung der Halterung nach der Erfindung haben die zweiten Schleifenabschnitte einen gegenseitigen Abstand mit einer lichten Weite, die kleiner als eine Länge jedes ersten Schleifenabschnittes ist. Dadurch ist gewährleistet, dass das Gestell, das die Halterung bildet, einen Fachboden, für den es bestimmt ist, ausreichend weit übergreift, um das Gestell und damit den Speisenbehälter sicher halten zu können.In one embodiment of the holder according to the invention, the second loop sections have a mutual spacing with a clear width that is smaller than a length of each first loop section. This ensures that the frame, which forms the holder, extends far enough over a shelf for which it is intended in order to be able to securely hold the frame and thus the food container.

In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Halterung nach der Erfindung ist das Gestell aus Draht durch Biegen hergestellt. Diese Art der Herstellung dürfte die einfachste und zweckmäßige sein, weil lediglich eine Drahtschleife in die entsprechende Form gebracht zu werden braucht. Statt einer Drahtschleife kann als Ausgangswerkstück auch ein Draht entsprechender Länge eingesetzt werden, der nach Abschluss aller Biegevorgänge an seinen beiden dann benachbarten Enden verschweißt wird.In a further embodiment of the holder according to the invention, the frame is made of wire by bending. This type of production is probably the simplest and most practical, because only a wire loop needs to be brought into the appropriate shape. Instead of a wire loop, a wire of the appropriate length can also be used as the starting workpiece, which is then welded at its two adjacent ends after all bending processes have been completed.

In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Halterung nach der Erfindung ist das Gestell aus faserverstärktem Kunststoff durch Spritzgießen und/oder Biegen hergestellt. Diese Art der Herstellung ist zwar auch sehr einfach, bedarf jedoch zuvor der Herstellung einer entsprechenden Form. Diese ist aber dann beliebig oft einsetzbar. Der eingesetzte Kunststoff kann durch Glas- oder Kohlefasern verstärkt sein.In a further embodiment of the holder according to the invention, the frame is made of fiber-reinforced plastic by injection molding and/or bending. Although this type of production is also very simple, it requires the production of an appropriate mold beforehand. However, this can be used as often as you like. The plastic used can be reinforced with glass or carbon fibers.

Die eingefädelte Position ist in einer gleichen perspektivischen Ansicht in Fig. 2 gezeigt.In 1 a frame 12 of a holder according to the invention, denoted overall by 10, and a shelf 20 are shown in a perspective view in a position in which the shelf 20 can be threaded into the frame 12. The threaded position is in a same perspective view in 2 shown.

Das Gestell 12 ist ein starres Gebilde aus einer endlosen Schleifen aus einem stabilen Rund- oder Flachmaterial. In Fig. 1 ist es ein Gestell aus einem Rundmaterial, und zwar aus einem Draht, der dem Gestell die nötige Steifigkeit und das nötige Tragvermögen verleiht, wie z.B. ein Draht aus Stahl oder Aluminium.The frame 12 is a rigid structure made from an endless loop of stable round or flat material. In 1 it is a frame made of a round material, namely a wire that gives the frame the necessary rigidity and load-bearing capacity, such as steel or aluminum wire.

In der endlosen Schleife sind zwei erste Halter 14a, 14b als gerade, zueinander parallele erste Schleifenabschnitte als Auflagen für einen Speisenbehälter 30 ausgebildet, von dem ein Beispiel in den Fig. 3 und 4 als ein Speisenbehälter 30 mit einem Deckel 32 dargestellt ist. Die parallelen ersten Halter 14a, 14b bilden Auflagen für den Speisenbehälter 30, also Gleitbahnen, auf denen der Speisenbehälter 30 in das Gestell 12 eingeschoben werden kann, wie es die Fig. 3 und 4 veranschaulichen.In the endless loop, two first holders 14a, 14b are designed as straight, mutually parallel first loop sections as supports for a food container 30, an example of which is shown in FIGS 3 and 4 shown as a food container 30 having a lid 32 . The parallel first holder 14a, 14b form conditions for the food container 30, so slideways on which the food container 30 can be inserted into the frame 12, as the 3 and 4 illustrate.

Die beiden ersten Halter 14a, 14b liegen in einer ersten Ebene, genauer gesagt, sie berühren die erste Ebene mit ihren in Fig. 1 oben liegenden Scheiteln ihres runden Querschnittes. Zwei zweite Halter 15a, 15b sind als gerade, zueinander parallele zweite Schleifenabschnitte in einer von der ersten Ebene beabstandeten, parallelen zweiten Ebene rechtwinkelig zu den ersten Schleifenabschnitten ausgebildet, genauer gesagt, berühren die zweite Ebene mit ihren in Fig. 1 unten liegenden Scheiteln ihres runden Querschnittes. Die beiden zweiten Halter 15a, 15b dienen zum verschiebbaren Lagern des Gestells 12 auf dem Fachboden 20.The first two holders 14a, 14b lie in a first plane, more precisely, they touch the first plane with their in 1 upper crests of their round cross-section. Two second holders 15a, 15b are designed as straight second loop sections parallel to one another in a parallel second plane spaced apart from the first plane at right angles to the first loop sections, more precisely touching the second plane with their in 1 underlying vertices of their round cross-section. The two second holders 15a, 15b serve to slidably mount the frame 12 on the shelf 20.

Benachbarte Enden der ersten und zweiten Schleifenabschnitte, welche die ersten und zweiten Halter 14a, 14b bzw. 15a, 15b bilden, sind jeweils durch einen dritten Schleifenabschnitt 16a, 16b, 16c, 16d miteinander verbunden. Jeweils ein Paar benachbarter dritter Schleifenabschnitte 16a, 16b und 16c, 16d begrenzt zwischen den beiden Ebenen eine Öffnung mit einer in der Breite gemessenen lichten Weite W1 bzw. W2, die größer als ein gegenseitiger Abstand A der ersten Schleifenabschnitte, also der ersten Halter 14a, 14b ist. Der Speisenbehälter 30, der hier ein GN-Behälter ist, hat einen überstehenden Rand 31, der eine genormte Breitenabmessung b des Speisenbehälters 30 (Fig. 3) festlegt. Die lichten Weiten W1 bzw. W2 sind größer als die Breitenabmessung b.Adjacent ends of the first and second loop portions forming the first and second holders 14a, 14b and 15a, 15b, respectively, are interconnected by a third loop portion 16a, 16b, 16c, 16d, respectively. Each pair of adjacent third loop sections 16a, 16b and 16c, 16d delimits an opening between the two planes with a clear width W 1 or W 2 measured in width, which is greater than a mutual distance A between the first loop sections, i.e. the first holder 14a, 14b is. The food container 30, which is a GN container here, has a protruding edge 31 which has a standardized width dimension b of the food container 30 ( 3 ) sets. The clear widths W 1 and W 2 are larger than the width dimension b.

Ähnlich sind die lichten Weiten W3, W4 zwischen jeweils zwei dritten Schleifenabschnitten 16a, 16c bzw. 16b, 16d, die dem einen bzw. anderen Ende jeweils der ersten Halter 14a, 14b zugeordnet sind, größer als eine Breite B des Fachbodens 20, so dass der Fachboden 20 in das Gestell 12 eingefädelt werden kann, ohne mit den dritten Schleifenabschnitten 16a - 16d zu kollidieren.The clear widths W 3 , W 4 between each two third loop sections 16a, 16c or 16b, 16d, which are at one or the other end of the first holder, are similar 14a, 14b are assigned, greater than a width B of the shelf 20, so that the shelf 20 can be threaded into the frame 12 without colliding with the third loop sections 16a - 16d.

Die zweiten Schleifenabschnitte oder zweiten Halter 15a, 15b haben einen gegenseitigen Abstand mit einer lichten Weite W5, die kleiner ist als eine Länge L jedes ersten Schleifenabschnittes oder ersten Halters 14a, 14b, so dass die zweiten Halter 15a, 15b weit genug einwärts von den Längsrändern des Fachbodens 20 auf dem Fachboden 20 aufliegen, um das Gewicht eines Speisenbehälters 30 auf dem Fachboden 20 sicher abzustützen.The second loop portions or second holders 15a, 15b are spaced apart from each other by a clearance W 5 which is less than a length L of each first loop portion or first holder 14a, 14b such that the second holders 15a, 15b are far enough inwardly from the Longitudinal edges of the shelf 20 rest on the shelf 20 to support the weight of a food container 30 on the shelf 20 securely.

Die Länge jedes dritten Schleifenabschnitts 16a - 16d, gemessen in vertikaler Richtung als lichte Weite W6 des Abstands zwischen den ersten Haltern 14a, 14b und den zweiten Schaltern 15a, 15b, ist so bemessen, dass bei an dem Fachboden 20 aufgehängtem Gestell 12 zwischen der Unterseite des Fachbodens 20 und der Oberseite der ersten Halter 14a, 14b genug Raum verbleibt, um Speisenbehälter 30 mit dem aufgesetzten Deckel 32, der hier ebenfalls Gastronorm-Format hat, aufnehmen zu können, wie es in den Fig. 3 und 4 gezeigt ist.The length of each third loop section 16a - 16d, measured in the vertical direction as the clear width W 6 of the distance between the first holders 14a, 14b and the second switches 15a, 15b, is dimensioned such that when the frame 12 is suspended on the shelf 20 between the Underside of the shelf 20 and the top of the first holder 14a, 14b remains enough space to accommodate food container 30 with the attached lid 32, which also has Gastronorm format here, as in the 3 and 4 is shown.

Das Gestell 12 kann statt aus einem Rundmaterial aus faserverstärktem Kunststoff hergestellt werden. Dazu bedarf es einer Form (nicht dargestellt), in die der faserverstärkte Kunststoff durch Spritzgießen eingebracht wird. Es könnte aber auch an ein durch Strangpressen hergestelltes Rundmaterial aus faserverstärktem Kunststoff gedacht werden, das in erwärmtem Zustand in die in den Fig. 1 - 4 gezeigte Form gebogen und dann in dieser Form zum Erstarren gebracht wird. Davor oder danach können die beiden Enden des Rundmaterials miteinander verschweißt werden.The frame 12 can be made of fiber-reinforced plastic instead of a round material. This requires a mold (not shown) into which the fiber-reinforced plastic is injected. But it could also be thought of a round material made of fiber-reinforced plastic produced by extrusion, which in the heated state in the Figures 1 - 4 is bent into the shape shown and then solidified in that shape. Before or after the two ends of the round material can be welded together.

Dargestellt ist zwar die Herstellung aus einem Rundmaterial, die Herstellung ist jedoch ebenso aus einem Flachmaterial möglich. Die Verwendung von Rundmaterial vereinfacht die Herstellung, wenn das Gestell 12 durch Biegen in die in den Fig. 1 - 4 gezeigte Form gebracht wird. In dem hier gezeigten und beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel ist das Rundmaterial ein Draht aus rostfreiem Stahl mit einem Durchmesser von ca. 8 mm.Although production from a round material is shown, production from a flat material is also possible. The use of round material simplifies the production when the frame 12 by bending in the Figures 1 - 4 shown shape is brought. In the embodiment shown and described here, the round material is a stainless steel wire with a diameter of about 8 mm.
