Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Einlegeboden, insbesondere einen Einlegeboden für einen Kühlschrank.The present invention relates to a shelf, in particular a shelf for a refrigerator.

Kühlschrankeinlegeböden bestehen in der Regel aus einem Gitterrost oder aus einer Glasscheibe, welche mit mechanischen Elementen zur Halterung in einem Kühlschrank versehen ist. Glasscheiben zeichnen sich neben dem Vorteil einer besseren Standfestigkeit des Kühlgutes gegenüber Gitterrosten unter anderem dadurch aus, dass auslaufende Flüssigkeiten durch die Scheibe aufgefangen werden können, so dass eine Verunreinigung des tiefer gelegenen Bereiches des Kühlschranks vermieden werden kann. Ein seitliches Überlaufen von Flüssigkeiten kann dabei auf verschiedene Art und Weise vermieden werden.Fridge shelves usually consist of a grating or a pane of glass, which is provided with mechanical elements for holding it in a refrigerator. Glass panes have the advantage of better stability of the goods being cooled compared to grids, among other things, that leaking liquids can be caught by the pane, so that contamination of the lower-lying area of the refrigerator can be avoided. Lateral overflow of liquids can be avoided in various ways.

Eine übliche Lösung für einen Überlaufschutz besteht in einem Kunststoffrahmen, welcher die Glasscheibe allseitig umgibt und welcher einen Rand um die Scheibe bildet. Nachteilig ist, dass ein derartiger Kunststoffrand aufwändig in der Herstellung ist und die für das Kühlgut nutzbare Stellfläche reduziert. Des Weiteren wird die Reinigung des Kühlschrankbodens durch den umlaufenden Rahmen erschwert.A common solution for overflow protection consists in a plastic frame which surrounds the glass pane on all sides and which forms an edge around the pane. It is disadvantageous that such a plastic rim is complex to manufacture and reduces the floor space that can be used for the items to be cooled. Furthermore, the cleaning of the refrigerator floor is made more difficult by the surrounding frame.

In der EP 0859207 wird vorgeschlagen, eine Glasscheibe mit einer Wölbung zu versehen, so dass ein Überlaufvolumen von mindestens 100 cm3 aufgenommen werden kann, bevor es zum Überlaufen kommt. Hierbei kann auf einen Rahmen um die Glasscheibe verzichtet werden. Das Erreichen der erfindungsgemäßen Wölbung bedeutet jedoch einen zusätzlichen, aufwändigen Prozessschritt bei der Herstellung
US 2010/102693 A1 betrifft Auflage- bzw. Trageflächen, die Strukturen zum Eindämmen verschütteter Substanzen aufweisen.In the EP 0859207 it is proposed to provide a glass pane with a curvature so that an overflow volume of at least 100 cm 3 can be taken up before it overflows. A frame around the glass pane can be dispensed with here. Achieving the curvature according to the invention, however, means an additional, complex process step in the production
US 2010/102693 A1 relates to support or support surfaces that have structures to contain spilled substances.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht in der Bereitstellung eines Einlegebodens für einen Kühlschrank mit einem Überlaufschutz, welcher gegenüber dem Stand der Technik verbessert ist.The object of the invention is to provide an insert shelf for a refrigerator with overflow protection which is improved over the prior art.

Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch Anspruch 1. Bevorzugte Ausführungsformen sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen ausgeführt.The object is achieved by claim 1. Preferred embodiments are set out in the dependent claims.

Die folgende Erfindungsbeschreibung geht davon aus, dass der erfindungsgemäße Einlegeboden sowie der Überlaufschutz sich in einem eingebauten Zustand befinden, so dass dieser aus Sicht eines Benutzers eine Oberseite, eine Unterseite sowie Vorder-, Rück- und Seitenkanten aufweist.The following description of the invention is based on the assumption that the shelf according to the invention and the overflow protection are in an installed state, so that, from the perspective of a user, it has an upper side, an underside and front, rear and side edges.

Der erfindungsgemäße Einlegeboden umfasst eine Trägerplatte und einen Überlaufschutz, wobei die Oberseite der Trägerplatte einen Mittelbereich zum Abstellen von Behältnissen aufweist und der Überlaufschutz um den Mittelbereich angeordnet ist. Der Einlegeboden ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der Überlaufschutz in einem ersten Teilabschnitt in Form einer hydrophoben Schicht auf der Trägerplatte ausgebildet ist und in einem zweiten Teilabschnitt, welcher sich an den ersten Teilabschnitt anschließt, ein Rahmenelement umfasst.The shelf according to the invention comprises a carrier plate and an overflow protection, the top side of the carrier plate having a central area for placing containers and the overflow protection being arranged around the central area. The shelf is characterized in that the overflow protection is designed in a first section in the form of a hydrophobic layer on the carrier plate and comprises a frame element in a second section, which adjoins the first section.

Die Trägerplatte ist vorzugsweise eine plane Glasplatte mit einer Materialstärke von 3 bis 8 mm. Bevorzugt handelt es sich um handelsübliches vorgespanntes Floatglas, also ein Kalk-Natron-Glas. Ebenso kann die Trägerplatten jedoch auch aus Glaskeramik, Kunststoff oder Metall oder Kombinationen der genannten Materialien bestehen.The carrier plate is preferably a flat glass plate with a material thickness of 3 to 8 mm. It is preferably a commercially available toughened float glass, that is a soda-lime glass. However, the carrier plates can also consist of glass ceramic, plastic or metal or combinations of the materials mentioned.

In dem Mittelbereich der Trägerplatte weist die Trägerplatte bevorzugt keine Beschichtung auf, der Mittelbereich kann jedoch auch beschichtet sein. Die Beschichtung sollte jedoch keine hydrophoben Eigenschaften aufweisen, da dadurch die Wirksamkeit der hydrophoben Schicht des Überlaufschutzes reduziert wird.In the middle area of the carrier plate, the carrier plate preferably has no coating, but the middle area can also be coated. However, the coating should not have any hydrophobic properties, since this reduces the effectiveness of the hydrophobic layer of the overflow protection.

Der erste und der zweite Teilabschnitt können sich im Allgemeinen jeweils nur über einen geringen Anteil des Umfangs der Trägerplatte, z.B. einen Teil einer Seite der Trägerplatte, oder aber über einen großen Anteil des Umfangs der Trägerplatte, z.B. über mehrere Seiten der Trägerplatte erstrecken.The first and the second subsections can generally each extend only over a small proportion of the circumference of the carrier plate, for example part of one side of the carrier plate, or over a large proportion of the circumference of the carrier plate, for example over several sides of the carrier plate.

Bei der hydrophoben Schicht kann es sich um ein beliebiges hydrophobes Schichtsystem handeln, welches eine ausreichende Festigkeit gegenüber Chemikalien sowie eine ausreichende mechanische Festigkeit aufweist. Geeignete Schichtsysteme sind dem Fachmann bekannt.The hydrophobic layer can be any desired hydrophobic layer system which has sufficient resistance to chemicals and sufficient mechanical strength. Suitable layer systems are known to the person skilled in the art.

Ein typisches Beispiel für ein hydrophobes Schichtsystem sind die anorganischorganischen Hybridpolymere, die unter der Marke ORMOCER®des Fraunhofer Instituts für Silicatforschung bekannt sind. Zum anderen gibt es eine Vielzahl von hydrophoben, organischen Lösungen, die nach der Fertigung oder auch vom Endkunden appliziert werden können, beispielsweise eine Gruppe von Lösungen, die unter der Marke "Clear Shield®" bekannt geworden sind.A typical example of a hydrophobic layer system are the inorganic-organic hybrid polymers known under the brand ORMOCER® of the Fraunhofer Institute for Silicate Research. On the other hand, there are a large number of hydrophobic, organic solutions that can be applied after production or by the end customer, for example a group of solutions that have become known under the "Clear Shield®" brand.

Die DE 100 18 671 A1 offenbart ebenfalls eine geeignete hydrophobe Beschichtung auf Glas oder keramischem Material, welche eine besonders hohe mechanische Beständigkeit aufweist. Sie umfasst eine dünne Unterschicht aus einer Metallverbindung, insbesondere aus anorganischen oder organischen Verbindungen mit vorzugsweise 3- oder 4-wertigen Metallen wie Si, Al, Ti, Zr sowie eine äußere hydrophobe organische Schicht aus Siloxan, Silan, Fluorsilanpolyurethan oder Tetrafluorpolyethylen.The DE 100 18 671 A1 also discloses a suitable hydrophobic coating on glass or ceramic material, which has a particularly high mechanical resistance. It comprises a thin sub-layer made of a metal compound, in particular made of inorganic or organic compounds with preferably trivalent or tetravalent metals such as Si, Al, Ti, Zr and an outer hydrophobic organic layer made of siloxane, silane, fluorosilane polyurethane or tetrafluoropolyethylene.

Die hydrophobe Schicht entfaltet ihre Wirkung als Überlaufschutz im Wesentlichen aufgrund ihrer besonderen Hydrophobizität und nicht aufgrund ihrer vertikalen Ausdehnung. In Abhängigkeit der Stärke der Hydrophobizität und der Flüssigkeit kann eine hydrophobe Schicht als Flüssigkeitsbarriere die Wirkung einer mechanischen Barriere einer Höhe von ca. 5 mm oder mehr haben, wobei diese jedoch eine Höhe von deutlich unter 1 mm aufweisen kann.The hydrophobic layer develops its effect as overflow protection essentially because of its special hydrophobicity and not because of its vertical extension. Depending on the strength of the hydrophobicity and the liquid, a hydrophobic layer can act as a liquid barrier a mechanical barrier with a height of about 5 mm or more, but this can have a height of well below 1 mm.

Die hydrophobe Schicht kann transparent oder auch farbig ausgebildet sein. Unter einem Rahmenelement ist allgemein ein mechanisches Element zu verstehen, welches im Wesentlichen aufgrund seiner vertikalen Ausdehnung eine Barriere für auslaufende Flüssigkeit darstellt. Es kann sich zum Beispiel um eine Kunststoffleiste handeln, welche auf der Trägerplatte aufgeklebt ist, oder um eine Profilleiste, welche auf die Seitenkante der Trägerplatte aufgesteckt ist und vertikal über die Oberfläche der Trägerplatte hinaus steht.The hydrophobic layer can be transparent or colored. A frame element is generally to be understood as a mechanical element which, essentially due to its vertical extension, represents a barrier for leaking liquid. It can be, for example, a plastic strip which is glued onto the carrier plate, or a profile strip which is pushed onto the side edge of the carrier plate and protrudes vertically beyond the surface of the carrier plate.

Der Uberlaufschutz umschließt den Mittelbereich der Trägerplatte vollständig.The overflow protection completely encloses the central area of the carrier plate.

Die hydrophobe Schicht ist bevorzugt entlang des Außenrandes der Trägerplatte in Form eines Streifens einer Breite von 0,5 bis 5 cm angeordnet und verläuft jeweils parallel zu einer der Außenkanten der Trägerplatte. Sie kann jedoch auch in einem Abstand von der Außenkante angeordnet sein.The hydrophobic layer is preferably arranged along the outer edge of the carrier plate in the form of a strip with a width of 0.5 to 5 cm and runs parallel to one of the outer edges of the carrier plate. However, it can also be arranged at a distance from the outer edge.

Die hydrophobe Schicht weist bevorzugt eine Schichtdicke von 5 nm bis 100 µm auf. Es gibt somit keinen oder nur einen geringen Höhenunterschied zu dem unbeschichteten Bereich der Trägerplatte und dadurch ist die Fläche mit der hydrophoben Schicht als Abstellfläche voll nutzbar.The hydrophobic layer preferably has a layer thickness of 5 nm to 100 μm. There is thus no or only a slight difference in height to the uncoated area of the carrier plate and the area with the hydrophobic layer can therefore be fully used as a storage area.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist die hydrophobe Schicht in Form eines Klebebandes auf der Trägerplatte angeordnet, was ein besonders einfaches Aufbringen der Schicht ermöglicht.In a preferred embodiment, the hydrophobic layer is arranged in the form of an adhesive tape on the carrier plate, which enables the layer to be applied particularly easily.

In dem ersten Teilabschnitt ist vorzugsweise kein Rahmenelement oder ein anderes Element angeordnet, welches vertikal über die Oberfläche der hydrophoben Schicht hinaus steht, das heißt, allein die hydrophobe Schicht wirkt als Überlaufschutz.In the first section, there is preferably no frame element or any other element which protrudes vertically over the surface of the hydrophobic layer, that is, the hydrophobic layer alone acts as overflow protection.

In dem zweiten Teilabschnitt, in welchen der Überlaufschutz ein Rahmenelement umfasst, ist das Rahmenelement vorzugsweise entlang der Außenkante der Trägerplatte angeordnet und flüssigkeitsdicht mit der Trägerplatte verbunden. Das Rahmenelement kann dabei nur auf der Oberseite der Trägerplatte angeordnet sein, oder aber vorzugsweise in Form einer Profilleiste um die Außenkante der Trägerplatte herumreichen. Die flüssigkeitsdichte Verbindung kann dabei beispielsweise in Form einer nicht lösbaren Klebeverbindung ausgebildet sein, oder aber in Form einer Dichtlippe, welche ein Lösen des Rahmenelementes ermöglicht. Dies ermöglicht unter anderem eine einfache und gründliche Reinigung des Rahmenelementes.In the second subsection, in which the overflow protection comprises a frame element, the frame element is preferably arranged along the outer edge of the carrier plate and connected to the carrier plate in a liquid-tight manner. The frame element can only be arranged on the upper side of the carrier plate or, however, preferably extend around the outer edge of the carrier plate in the form of a profile strip. The liquid-tight connection can be designed, for example, in the form of a non-releasable adhesive connection, or in the form of a sealing lip which enables the frame element to be released. This enables, among other things, a simple and thorough cleaning of the frame element.

Das Rahmenelement ragt bevorzugt vertikal um eine Höhe H von 1,0 mm oder mehr über die Oberseite der Trägerplatte hinaus. Besonders bevorzugt ragt das Rahmenelement um 2,0 bis 20,0 mm über die Oberseite der Trägerplatte hinaus. Das Rahmenelement erfüllt neben der Funktion als Uberlaufschutz gleichzeitig weitere Funktionen. Ein Rahmenelement auf der Vorderseite des Einlegebodens ist als Griffteil zum Herausziehen des Einlegebodens ausgebildet, beispielsweise durch eine an der Unterseite angeordnete Lippe. Ein Rahmenelement an der Seite des Einlegebodens ist als seitliche Führungsschiene ausgebildet, die gemeinsam mit einem entsprechend ausgebildeten Führung in dem Kühlschrank eine Auflage für den Einlegeboden ausbildet. Ein Rahmenelement an der Rückseite kann als hintere Bodenbegrenzung ausgebildet sein, welche die Abstellfläche nach hinten begrenzt.The frame element preferably projects vertically by a height H of 1.0 mm or more over the top of the carrier plate. The frame element particularly preferably projects 2.0 to 20.0 mm beyond the top of the carrier plate. In addition to its function as overflow protection, the frame element also fulfills other functions. A frame element on the front side of the shelf is designed as a handle part for pulling out the shelf, for example by means of a lip arranged on the underside. A frame element on the side of the shelf is designed as a lateral guide rail which, together with a correspondingly designed guide in the refrigerator, forms a support for the shelf. A frame element on the rear side can be designed as a rear floor delimitation which delimits the storage area towards the rear.

Das Rahmenelement oder ein Teil des Rahmenelementes können abnehmbar ausgebildet ist, so dass von dem Überlaufschutz aufgefangene Flüssigkeit kontrolliert abgelassen werden kann. Der abnehmbare Teil des Rahmenelementes kann zum Beispiel eine Breite von 0,5 cm bis 5 cm aufweisen und in Farbe und / oder Form von dem Rahmenelement abgesetzt sein. Ebenso kann das Rahmenelement sich über die gesamte Vorderkante der Trägerplatte erstrecken und abnehmbar ausgebildet sein. Ist Flüssigkeit ausgelaufen und von dem Überlaufschutz aufgefangen worden, ist es im Allgemeinen schwierig, die Flüssigkeit innerhalb des engen Innenraums des Kühlschrankes von dem Einlegeboden zu entfernen. Auch ein Herausnehmen des Bodens ist nicht ohne weiteres möglich, da es schon bei geringem Verkippen des Bodens zum Überlaufen der Flüssigkeit kommen kann. Bei der vorgeschlagenen Lösung wird ein Auffangbehältnis unter dem abnehmbaren Teil des Rahmenelementes angeordnet und der abnehmbare Teil entfernt, so dass die Flüssigkeit in das Behältnis abläuft. Die vorgeschlagene Lösung ermöglicht somit in einfacher Weise ein Ablassen zumindest eines Teils der ausgelaufenen Flüssigkeit, so dass die Entfernung der Flüssigkeit insgesamt komfortabel möglich ist. Bei dieser bevorzugten Ausführungsform kann die Trägerplatte eine geringe Neigung von 1° bis 8°, vorzugsweise 2° bis 5° gegenüber der Horizontalen aufweisen, wobei der abnehmbare Teil des Rahmenelementes an der tiefsten Stelle liegt, so dass ein Großteil der Flüssigkeit kontrolliert abgelassen werden kann. Der Neigungswinkel bezieht sich dabei auf einen eingebauten Zustand des Einlegebodens bei horizontaler Ausrichtung des Kühlschrankes.The frame element or a part of the frame element can be designed to be removable, so that liquid caught by the overflow protection is controlled can be drained. The removable part of the frame element can, for example, have a width of 0.5 cm to 5 cm and be set off from the frame element in terms of color and / or shape. Likewise, the frame element can extend over the entire front edge of the carrier plate and be designed to be removable. If liquid has leaked and has been caught by the overflow protection device, it is generally difficult to remove the liquid from the shelf inside the narrow interior of the refrigerator. Removing the bottom is also not easily possible, since even a slight tilting of the bottom can cause the liquid to overflow. In the proposed solution, a collecting container is arranged under the removable part of the frame element and the removable part is removed so that the liquid drains into the container. The proposed solution thus enables at least part of the leaked liquid to be drained off in a simple manner, so that the liquid can be conveniently removed overall. In this preferred embodiment, the carrier plate can have a slight incline of 1 ° to 8 °, preferably 2 ° to 5 ° relative to the horizontal, the removable part of the frame element being at the lowest point so that a large part of the liquid can be drained off in a controlled manner . The angle of inclination relates to an installed state of the shelf with a horizontal orientation of the refrigerator.

Auch in einem zweiten Teilabschnitt, in welchem der Überlaufschutz ein Rahmenelement umfasst, kann zusätzlich eine hydrophobe Schicht zwischen dem Rahmenelement und dem Mittelbereich angeordnet sein, so dass das Rahmenelement vor Verunreinigungen geschützt wird.In a second partial section in which the overflow protection comprises a frame element, a hydrophobic layer can additionally be arranged between the frame element and the central area, so that the frame element is protected from contamination.

Erfindungsgemäß weist der Überlaufschutz aus Sicht eines Nutzers einen vorderseitigen Abschnitt, einen rückseitigen Abschnitt und zwei seitliche Abschnitte auf, wobei der vorderseitige Abschnitt sich auf der dem Nutzer zugewandten Seite und der rückseitige Abschnitt auf der dem Nutzer abgewandten Seite befindet.According to the invention, from the point of view of a user, the overflow protection has a front section, a rear section and two side sections, the front section facing the user Side and the rear section is on the side facing away from the user.

In einer ersten Ausführungsform sind die seitlichen Abschnitte des Überlaufschutzes im Wesentlichen über ihre gesamte Länge als hydrophobe Schicht ausgebildet, und der vorderseitige und / oder der rückseitige Abschnitt umfassen / umfasst im Wesentlichen über die gesamte Länge ein Rahmenelement, wobei das Rahmenelement auf der Vorderseite des Einlegebodens als Griffteil zum Herausziehen des Einlegebodens ausgebildet ist. Unter im Wesentlichen ist dabei ein Längenanteil von mindestens 50 %, vorzugsweise jedoch 80 % oder mehr zu verstehen, wobei bevorzugt nur die in den Ecken angeordneten Übergangsbereiche ausgenommen sind. Dieser Einlegeboden hat eine besonders breite Abstellfläche. Er hat ferner den Vorteil, dass in dem Bereich der besonders beanspruchten Vorderkante des Einlegebodens das Rahmenelement die Vorderkante der Trägerplatte gleichzeitig vor Stößen zum Beispiel beim Beladen des Kühlschrankes mit Flaschen schützt. Des Weiteren tritt bei häufigem Be- und Entladen kein Verschleiß des Rahmenprofils auf. Bei einer hydrophoben Beschichtung im Bereich der Vorderkante besteht hingegen die Gefahr, dass diese durch häufiges Be- und Entladen verschleißt und die Wirksamkeit nachlässt.In a first embodiment, the side sections of the overflow protection are designed as a hydrophobic layer essentially over their entire length, and the front and / or the rear section comprise / comprise a frame element essentially over the entire length, the frame element on the front side of the shelf is designed as a handle part for pulling out the shelf. Essentially, a length portion of at least 50%, but preferably 80% or more, is to be understood, with the exception of preferably only the transition areas arranged in the corners. This shelf has a particularly wide storage area. It also has the advantage that in the area of the particularly stressed front edge of the shelf, the frame element simultaneously protects the front edge of the carrier plate from impacts, for example when loading the refrigerator with bottles. Furthermore, there is no wear and tear on the frame profile with frequent loading and unloading. In the case of a hydrophobic coating in the area of the front edge, on the other hand, there is a risk that it will wear out due to frequent loading and unloading and its effectiveness will decrease.

Die hydrophobe Schicht ist daher bevorzugt nur in den weniger Abriebgefährdeten Oberflächenbereichen des Einlegebodens angeordnet.The hydrophobic layer is therefore preferably only arranged in the surface areas of the shelf that are less at risk of abrasion.

In einer zweiten Ausführungsform umfassen die seitlichen Abschnitte des Überlaufschutzes im Wesentlichen über ihre gesamte Länge ein Rahmenelement und der vorderseitige und / oder der rückseitige Abschnitt sind im Wesentlichen über ihre gesamte Länge als hydrophobe Schicht ausgebildet. Unter im Wesentlichen ist dabei ein Längenanteil von mindestens 50 %, vorzugsweise jedoch 80 % oder mehr zu verstehen, wobei bevorzugt nur die in den Ecken angeordneten Übergangsbereiche ausgenommen sind. Dadurch bietet der Einlegeboden eine besonders tiefe Abstellfläche. Bei dieser Ausführungsform dienen die seitlichen Rahmenelemente gleichzeitig als Führung und Halterung des Einlegebodens, so dass auf weitere Tragelemente wie zum Beispiel unter dem Einlegeboden angeordnete Winkel verzichtet werden kann.In a second embodiment, the lateral sections of the overflow protection essentially comprise a frame element over their entire length and the front and / or the rear section are formed as a hydrophobic layer essentially over their entire length. Essentially, a length portion of at least 50%, but preferably 80% or more, is to be understood, with the exception of preferably only the transition areas arranged in the corners. As a result, the shelf offers a particularly deep shelf. In this embodiment, the side frame elements serve at the same time as a guide and holder for the shelf, so that further support elements, such as brackets arranged under the shelf, can be dispensed with.

In einem Übergangsbereich zwischen einem ersten Abschnitt, in welchem der Überlaufschutz in Form einer hydrophoben Schicht auf der Trägerplatte ausgebildet ist, und einem zweiten Teilabschnitt, welcher sich an den ersten Teilabschnitt anschließt, und in welchem der Überlaufschutz ein Rahmenelement umfasst, verläuft die hydrophobe Schicht in einer ersten Ausführungsform bis an die Unterkante des Rahmenelementes oder unterhalb des Rahmenelementes. Im ersten Fall schließt die hydrophobe Schicht also direkt an das Rahmenelement an und ist durch diese begrenzt. Der erste und zweite Abschnitt schließen damit bei minimaler Ausdehnung des Übergangsbereiches aneinander an. Im letzteren Fall erstreckt sich die hydrophobe Schicht vom ersten Abschnitt aus im Übergangsbereich unter das Rahmenelement, ist also im Übergangsbereich zwischen Trägerplatte und Rahmenelement angeordnet. Dadurch kann vorteilhaft auf eine exakte Begrenzung der hydrophoben Schicht, welche fertigungstechnisch höheren Aufwand bedeutet, verzichtet werden.In a transition area between a first section, in which the overflow protection is formed in the form of a hydrophobic layer on the carrier plate, and a second section, which adjoins the first section, and in which the overflow protection comprises a frame element, the hydrophobic layer runs in a first embodiment up to the lower edge of the frame element or below the frame element. In the first case, the hydrophobic layer adjoins the frame element directly and is delimited by it. The first and second sections thus adjoin one another with minimal expansion of the transition area. In the latter case, the hydrophobic layer extends from the first section in the transition area under the frame element, that is to say is arranged in the transition area between the carrier plate and the frame element. This advantageously makes it possible to dispense with an exact delimitation of the hydrophobic layer, which means greater expenditure in terms of manufacturing technology.

In einer weiteren Ausführungsform des Übergangsbereiches zwischen einem ersten Abschnitt und einem zweiten Teilabschnitt verläuft die hydrophobe Schicht vom ersten Abschnitt aus bis an der Unterkante des Rahmenelementes und ist dann im Übergangsbereich auf der ansteigenden Kante des Rahmenelementes fortgesetzt. Bei dieser Ausführungsform wird sichergestellt, dass ein Übergangsbereich keine Schwachstelle des Überlaufschutzes darstellt, in welcher Flüssigkeit bevorzugt ausläuft.In a further embodiment of the transition area between a first section and a second partial section, the hydrophobic layer runs from the first section to the lower edge of the frame element and is then continued in the transition area on the rising edge of the frame element. In this embodiment it is ensured that a transition area does not represent a weak point of the overflow protection, in which liquid preferably runs out.

Insbesondere bei dieser Ausführungsform des Übergangsbereiches kann die hydrophobe Schicht auf einem Klebeband angeordnet sein, welches auf die Trägerplatte und auf das Rahmenelement aufgeklebt werden kann.In this embodiment of the transition area in particular, the hydrophobic layer can be arranged on an adhesive tape which can be glued onto the carrier plate and onto the frame element.

Die Erfindung wird nun anhand der Figuren 1 bis 4 näher erläutert:

Die folgende Figurenbeschreibung geht davon aus, dass der erfindungsgemäße Kühlschrankboden sich in einem eingebauten Zustand befindet, so dass dieser aus Sicht des Benutzers des Kühlschranks eine Oberseite, eine Unterseite sowie Vorder-, Rück- und Seitenkanten aufweist.The following description of the figures is based on the assumption that the refrigerator floor according to the invention is in an installed state, so that, from the perspective of the user of the refrigerator, it has an upper side, an underside and front, rear and side edges.

Figur 1 zeigt einen Einlegeboden (1) für einen Kühlschrank gemäß einer ersten bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung. In dieser Ausführungsform ist an der Vorderkante ein Rahmenelement (22) ausgebildet, welches den vorderseitigen Abschnitt (7) des Überlaufschutzes ausbildet, und an der Hinterkante der Trägerplatte ein Rahmenelement (22), welches den rückseitigen Abschnitt (8) des Überlaufschutzes ausbildet und welche sich jeweils über die volle Länge der Vorderkante und der Hinterkante erstrecken. Entlang beider Seiten der Trägerplatte (2) erstreckt sich jeweils ein Streifen (13) einer hydrophoben Schicht (12). Das Rahmenelement (22), welches den vorderseitigen Abschnitt (7) des Überlaufschutzes darstellt, ist in Form einer Profilleiste ausgebildet, welches auf die Vorderkante der Trägerplatte (2) aufgesteckt ist. Durch eine Lippe an der Unterseite des Rahmenprofils ist diese Profilleiste gleichzeitig als Griffelement ausgebildet, um das Herausziehen des Einlegebodens (1) zu ermöglichen. Das Rahmenelement (22), welches den rückseitigen Abschnitt (8) des Überlaufschutzes darstellt, ist ebenfalls in Form einer Profilleiste ausgebildet, welche auf die Hinterkante aufgesteckt ist. Die nutzbare Stellfläche der Trägerplatte (2) ist damit an der Rückseite mechanisch begrenzt. Figure 1 shows a shelf (1) for a refrigerator according to a first preferred embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment, a frame element (22) is formed on the front edge, which forms the front section (7) of the overflow protection, and a frame element (22), which forms the rear section (8) of the overflow protection and which forms on the rear edge of the carrier plate each extend over the full length of the leading edge and the trailing edge. A strip (13) of a hydrophobic layer (12) extends along both sides of the carrier plate (2). The frame element (22), which represents the front section (7) of the overflow protection, is designed in the form of a profile strip which is pushed onto the front edge of the carrier plate (2). With a lip on the underside of the frame profile, this profile strip is also designed as a grip element in order to enable the shelf (1) to be pulled out. The frame element (22), which the rear section (8) of the overflow protection represents, is also designed in the form of a profile strip, which is attached to the rear edge. The usable floor space of the carrier plate (2) is thus mechanically limited on the rear.

Der Einlegeboden (1) umfasst beispielhaft Winkel als Befestigungselemente (14), welche unter der Trägerplatte angeordnet sind und der Halterung des Einlegebodens beispielsweise in einem Kühlschrank dienen. Die Art der Befestigung ist jedoch für den Gegenstand der Erfindung von untergeordneter Bedeutung, die dargestellte Befestigung ist daher nur beispielhaft zu verstehen.The shelf (1) comprises, for example, angles as fastening elements (14) which are arranged under the carrier plate and are used to hold the shelf, for example in a refrigerator. However, the type of fastening is of secondary importance for the subject matter of the invention, and the fastening shown is therefore to be understood only as an example.

In Figur 2 ist eine Querschnittsdarstellung der in Figur 1 dargestellten Ausführungsform in der Schnittebene A-A gemäß Figur 1 dargestellt. Das Rahmenelement, welches den vorderseitigen Abschnitt (7) des Überlaufschutzes darstellt, weist im Wesentlichen eine U-Form auf und besitzt an der Unterseite ferner eine Lippe, welche als Griffelement zum Herausziehen des Einlegebodens (1) dient. Das hintere Randelement weist ebenfalls im Wesentlichen eine U-Form auf und besitzt an der Oberseite eine Lippe, welche die hintere Begrenzung der Stellfläche optisch und mechanisch begrenzt.In Figure 2 FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the FIG Figure 1 illustrated embodiment in the section plane AA according to Figure 1 shown. The frame element, which represents the front section (7) of the overflow protection, is essentially U-shaped and also has a lip on the underside which serves as a grip element for pulling out the shelf (1). The rear edge element also essentially has a U-shape and has a lip on the top, which optically and mechanically delimits the rear delimitation of the footprint.

Figur 3 zeigt in den Teilfiguren 3a bis 3f weitere bevorzugte Ausführungsformen in einer perspektivischen Darstellung. Auf die Darstellung der nicht erfindungswesentlichen Trägerelemente wurde verzichtet, so dass jeweils lediglich die Trägerplatte (2) und der Überlaufschutz dargestellt sind. Genau wie in der perspektivischen Darstellung in Figur 1 befindet sich der vorderseitige, dem Benutzer zugewandte Teil des Einlegebodens jeweils unten rechts, die rückseitige Abschnitt also oben links. Figure 3 shows in the sub-figures 3a to 3f further preferred embodiments in a perspective view. The carrier elements, which are not essential to the invention, have not been shown, so that only the carrier plate (2) and the overflow protection are shown in each case. Just like in the perspective view in Figure 1 the front part of the shelf facing the user is located at the bottom right and the rear section is at the top left.
