If the refrigerated goods container is extended by more than a minimum extension distance, the rollers can run on the horizontally extending extension section in such a way that the refrigerated goods container remains in its current extended position despite being released by the user. Because of the horizontal extending section, on which in this moment Pull-out position The rollers are set to a stability position in which the refrigerated goods container remains in its current pull-out position and does not roll away. In this embodiment, the user must first actively push the refrigerated goods container in until the rollers leave the horizontally extending pull-out section and reach the track section which is designed to be sloping towards a rear wall of the inner container. The refrigerated goods container can then be released and the refrigerated goods container automatically returns to the fully inserted position. The sloping section in the direction of a rear wall of the inner container can be designed such that the refrigerated goods container actively and automatically returns to the fully inserted position even if a user continues to have a hand on a handle section of the refrigerated goods container. The user feels a significant increase in force, which signals that the refrigerated goods container is being actively drawn in and that he can let go of the refrigerated goods container. If, on the other hand, the rollers are on the horizontally extending pull-out section, on which a stability position is set in this current pull-out position, in which the refrigerated goods container remains in its current pull-out position and does not roll away, the refrigerated goods container can hold onto it without a hand of the user, for example must remain open over part of the entire pull-out path and refrigerated goods can be removed and / or inserted without the refrigerated goods container having to be held.

Das erfindungsgemäße Zwischengehäusebauteil kann einerseits im eingebauten Zustand an dem Kühlgutbehälter das Laufrad gegen Eintritt von Schmutz Flüssigkeit und/oder Feuchtigkeit abschirmen bzw. schützen und andererseits nach einer Demontage von Laufrolle und Zwischengehäusebauteil ein die Laufrolle aufnehmender Hohlraum des Kühlgutbehälters leicht an seinen Innenseiten gereinigt werden. Eventuell wären der Nutzung im Bereich der Laufrolle festgesetzte und/oder auf eine Achse der Laufrolle aufgewickelte Kühlgutreste können im Rahmen einer Demontage von Laufrolle, Achse und Zwischengehäusebauteil leicht entfernt werden. Insgesamt kann mit einer erfindungsgemäßen Laufrolle und einem erfindungsgemäßen Zwischengehäusebauteil die Hygiene im Kältegerät verbessert werden.Because the at least one roller is rotatably arranged in an intermediate housing component and the intermediate housing component is detachably fastened to the refrigerated goods container, the at least one roller can be easily removed from the refrigerated goods container for cleaning purposes, for example, and can be easily re-installed after cleaning. The intermediate housing component according to the invention can, on the one hand, shield or protect the impeller against the entry of dirt, liquid and / or moisture in the refrigerated goods container and, on the other hand, after dismantling the roller and intermediate housing component, a cavity of the refrigerated goods container receiving the roller can be easily cleaned on the inside become. Possibly the use of chilled goods left in the area of the roller and / or coiled on an axle of the roller could easily be removed by dismantling the roller, axle and intermediate housing component. Overall, the hygiene in the refrigerator can be improved with a roller according to the invention and an intermediate housing component according to the invention.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist die Verwendung von erfindungsgemäßen Laufbahnen und Laufrollen und Zwischengehäusebauteilen an Gemüseschalen.The use of raceways and rollers and intermediate housing components according to the invention on vegetable peels is particularly advantageous.
In einer Ausführungsform können an dem rückseitigen Bereich des Kühlgutbehälters zwei Laufrollen an gegenüberliegenden Seitenwänden des Kühlgutbehälters drehbar gelagert sein. Dadurch wird der Kühlgutbehälter auch in einem leicht angehobenen Zustand von mindestens zwei Auflagepunkten der beiden an gegenüberliegenden Seitenwänden des Kühlgutbehälters drehbar gelagerten Laufrollen abgestützt, so dass der Kühlgutbehälter vor einem Kippen bewahrt ist. In einer anderen Ausführungsform können an einem mittleren Bereich des Kühlgutbehälters zwei Laufrollen an gegenüberliegenden Seitenwänden des Kühlgutbehälters drehbar gelagert sein. So ist der Kühlgutbehälter aufgrund der nahen Lage des Schwerpunkt an den Drehachsen der Laufrollen gut ausbalanciert. In einer weiteren Ausführungsform können an einem vorderen Bereich des Kühlgutbehälters zwei Laufrollen an gegenüberliegenden Seitenwänden des Kühlgutbehälters drehbar gelagert sein. Die Laufrollen an einem vorderen Bereich des Kühlgutbehälters können insbesondere mit Laufrollen an dem rückseitigen Bereich des Kühlgutbehälters kombiniert sein.In one embodiment, two rollers can be rotatably mounted on the rear region of the refrigerated goods container on opposite side walls of the refrigerated goods container. As a result, the refrigerated goods container is also supported in a slightly raised state by at least two support points of the two rollers rotatably mounted on opposite side walls of the refrigerated goods container, so that the refrigerated goods container is prevented from tipping. In another embodiment, two rollers can be rotatably mounted on a central region of the refrigerated goods container on opposite side walls of the refrigerated goods container. The refrigerated goods container is well balanced due to the close position of the center of gravity on the axes of rotation of the rollers. In a further embodiment, two rollers can be rotatably mounted on a front region of the refrigerated goods container on opposite side walls of the refrigerated goods container. The rollers on a front region of the refrigerated goods container can in particular be combined with rollers on the rear region of the refrigerated goods container.
Die Laufrollen können eine Lauffläche aus einem thermoplastischen Kunststoff, insbesondere mit einem Gleit-Reibungskoeffizient zwischen 0,3 und 0,5 µ, insbesondere zwischen 0,38 und 0,42 µ, insbesondere aus Polyoxymethylen (POM) aufweisen. Eine derartige Auswahl des Gleit-Reibungskoeffizienten für die Lauffläche der Laufrollen kann bewirken, dass der Kühlgutbehälter auch bei blockierten Laufrollen und/oder schwergängigen Laufrollen mit geringem Kraftaufwand aus dem Innenbehälter herausgezogen bzw. hineingeschoben werden kann. Erfindungsgemäß kann dabei eine festsitzende Laufrolle insoweit eine Gleitlagerstelle bilden.The rollers can have a running surface made of a thermoplastic, in particular with a sliding friction coefficient between 0.3 and 0.5 μ, in particular between 0.38 and 0.42 μ, in particular made of polyoxymethylene (POM). Such a selection of the sliding friction coefficient for the running surface of the rollers can have the effect that the refrigerated goods container can be pulled out or pushed into the inner container with little effort even with blocked rollers and / or stiff rollers. According to the invention, a stuck roller can form a plain bearing.
In allen erfindungsgemäßen Ausführungen können an dem mitten- und/oder frontseitigen Bereich des Kühlgutbehälters an gegenüberliegenden Seitenwänden des Kühlgutbehälters jeweils zwei oder mehrere, insbesondere drei separate Laufrollen angeordnete sein. Die zwei oder mehreren, insbesondere drei separaten Laufrollen können beabstandet voneinander, insbesondere gleichmäßig voneinander beabstandet sich entlang einer Tiefenrichtung am Kühlgutbehälter erstrecken. Mittels der zwei oder mehreren Laufrollen kann der Kühlgutbehälter nicht nur in einem vorderen Bereich abgestützt werden, sondern auch in einem mittleren und/oder hinteren Tiefenbereich des Kühlgutbehälters.In all the embodiments according to the invention, two or more, in particular three, separate rollers can be arranged on the middle and / or front area of the refrigerated goods container on opposite side walls of the refrigerated goods container. The two or more, in particular three separate rollers can extend at a distance from one another, in particular evenly spaced from one another, along a depth direction on the refrigerated goods container. By means of the two or more rollers, the refrigerated goods container can be supported not only in a front area, but also in a middle and / or rear deep area of the refrigerated goods container.
Je nach Größe, insbesondere Tiefe des Kühlgutbehälters können die Laufrollen zusammen mit einem Zwischengehäusebauteil insbesondere derselben Bauart und/oder Baugröße an unterschiedlichen Kühlgutbehältern in verschiedener Anzahl montiert werden. So können bei Kühlgutbehältern geringer bspw. halber Tiefe des Kältegeräts beispielsweise lediglich ein oder zwei Laufrollen und Zwischengehäusebauteile je Seite vorgesehen werden. Bei Kühlgutbehältern großer bzw. voller Tiefe können beispielsweise drei oder mehrere Laufrollen und Zwischengehäusebauteile je Seite vorgesehen werden. Die drei oder mehrere Laufrollen und Zwischengehäusebauteile können auch wahlweise in verschiedenen variierbaren Abständen an Seitenwänden und/oder Bodenwänden des Kühlgutbehälters befestigt, insbesondere angeklemmt werden.Depending on the size, in particular depth, of the refrigerated goods container, the rollers can be mounted together with an intermediate housing component, in particular of the same type and / or size, on different refrigerated goods containers in different numbers. In the case of refrigerated goods containers of less than half the depth of the refrigeration device, for example, only one or two rollers and intermediate housing components can be provided on each side. For refrigerated goods containers of large or full depth, for example, three or more rollers and intermediate housing components can be provided on each side. The three or more rollers and intermediate housing components can also optionally be attached, in particular clamped, to the side walls and / or bottom walls of the refrigerated goods container at different, variable intervals.
Erfindungsgemäß kann jede Laufrolle in einem separaten Zwischengehäusebauteil, das eine Rastmittel oder Klemmmittel zu seiner Befestigung an dem Kühlgutbehälter aufweist, drehbar gelagert sein. Dadurch kann insbesondere ein Rollenkörper der Laufrolle beispielsweise mittels eines Achsstiftes an einem Rollengehäuse der Laufrolle drehbar gelagert werden, ohne dass Drehlagersitze am Kühlgutbehälter selbst ausgebildet werden müssen.According to the invention, each roller can be rotatably mounted in a separate intermediate housing component which has a latching means or clamping means for fastening it to the refrigerated goods container. As a result, in particular a roller body of the roller can be rotatably supported, for example by means of an axle pin, on a roller housing of the roller without the need for pivot bearing seats to be formed on the refrigerated goods container itself.
Alle genannten Arten von Laufrollen können mit allen Ausführungsformen von erfindungsgemäßen Laufbahnen, in Richtung einer Rückwand des Innenbehälters abschüssig ausgebildeten Bahnabschnitten und/oder horizontal verlaufenden Auszugsabschnitten und/oder wie im Folgenden beschriebenen Tragabschnitten kombiniert sein.All of the above-mentioned types of rollers can be combined with all embodiments of raceways according to the invention, path sections formed inclinedly in the direction of a rear wall of the inner container and / or horizontal extension sections and / or support sections as described below.
Der in Richtung der Rückwand des Innenbehälters abschüssige Bahnabschnitt kann über eine Höhe abschüssig ausgebildet sein, die wenigstens der Höhe eines vom Boden des Kühlgutbehälters vorspringenden Abschnitts der Laufrolle entspricht. Dies hat zur Folge, dass der Kühlgutbehälter zunächst mit seinen Laufrollen entlang den in Richtung einer Rückwand des Innenbehälters abschüssig ausgebildeten Bahnabschnitten aktiv hineinläuft und dann am Ende des abschüssig ausgebildeten Bahnabschnitts mit seiner Bodenfläche auf dem Boden des Innenbehälters und/oder einem gesonderten Tragabschnitt aufsitzt und dadurch die Laufrollen in der vollständig eingeschobenen Position des Kühlgutbehälters entlastet sind.The sloping track section in the direction of the rear wall of the inner container can be designed sloping over a height which corresponds at least to the height of a section of the roller projecting from the bottom of the refrigerated goods container. The result of this is that the refrigerated goods container initially runs actively with its rollers along the track sections formed sloping in the direction of a rear wall of the inner container and then at the end of the sloping track section sits with its bottom surface on the bottom of the inner container and / or a separate carrying section and thereby the rollers are relieved in the fully inserted position of the refrigerated goods container.
In allen erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltungen kann zwischen dem in Richtung der Rückwand des Innenbehälters abschüssigen Bahnabschnitt und der Rückwand des Innenbehälters ein Tragabschnitt angeordnet sein, auf welchem ein Außenwandabschnitt des Kühlgutbehälters in seiner eingezogenen Position aufsitzt. Der Tragabschnitt kann dabei in Richtung der Rückwand des Innenbehälters ansteigend ausgebildet sein. Durch den wenigstens einen Tragabschnitt wird eine oder werden mehrere definierte Aufsitzflächen für den Kühlgutbehälter geschaffen. So kann vermieden werden, dass der Kühlgutbehälter über seine gesamte Bodenfläche beispielsweise auf der gesamten Fläche des Innenbehälterbodens undefiniert aufsitzt und/oder kein Spaltraum zwischen Bodenfläche des Kühlgutbehälters und Innenbehälterboden verbleibt, um beispielsweise weiterhin Kühlluft dazwischen Transportieren zu können. Ist der Tragabschnitt dabei in Richtung der Rückwand des Innenbehälters ansteigend ausgebildet, so kann dadurch ein manuelles Wiederherausziehen hinsichtlich Kraftaufwand erleichtert sein, d.h. der Kühlgutbehälter leichter herausgezogen werden.In all of the configurations according to the invention, a support section can be arranged between the web section sloping in the direction of the rear wall of the inner container and the rear wall of the inner container, on which an outer wall section of the refrigerated goods container rests in its retracted position. The support section can be designed to rise in the direction of the rear wall of the inner container. The at least one support section creates one or more defined seating surfaces for the refrigerated goods container. It can thus be avoided that the refrigerated goods container sits undefined over its entire bottom surface, for example on the entire surface of the inner container bottom, and / or that no gap remains between the bottom surface of the refrigerated goods container and the inner container base, in order, for example, to be able to continue to transport cooling air between them. If the support section is designed to rise in the direction of the rear wall of the inner container, manual pulling out with regard to the effort can be facilitated, i.e. the refrigerated goods container can be pulled out more easily.
In allen erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltungen kann jeweils eine Laufrolle im Bereich einer linken Seitenkante und einer rechten Seitenkante des Kühlgutbehälters angeordnet sein und jede Laufrolle auf einer separaten Laufbahn abrollen, die jeweils sowohl einen abschüssigen Bahnabschnitt als auch einen Tragabschnitt aufweist.In all of the configurations according to the invention, a roller can be arranged in the region of a left side edge and a right side edge of the refrigerated goods container and each roller can roll on a separate track, which each has both a sloping track section and a support section.
In allen erfindungsgemäßen Ausführungen können an dem mitten- und/oder frontseitigen Bereich des Kühlgutbehälters an gegenüberliegenden Seitenwänden des Kühlgutbehälters jeweils zwei oder mehrere, insbesondere drei separate Laufrollen angeordnete sein. Die zwei oder mehreren, insbesondere drei separaten Laufrollen können beabstandet voneinander, insbesondere gleichmäßig voneinander beabstandet sich entlang einer Tiefenrichtung am Kühlgutbehälter erstrecken. Mittels der zwei oder mehreren Laufrollen kann der Kühlgutbehälter nicht nur in einem vorderen Bereich abgestützt werden, sondern auch in einem mittleren und/oder hinteren Tiefenbereich des Kühlgutbehälters.In all of the embodiments according to the invention, two or more, in particular three, separate rollers can be arranged on the center and / or front area of the refrigerated goods container on opposite side walls of the refrigerated goods container. The two or more, in particular three separate rollers can extend spaced apart, in particular evenly spaced apart, along a depth direction on the refrigerated goods container. By means of the two or more rollers, the refrigerated goods container can be supported not only in a front area, but also in a central and / or rear deep area of the refrigerated goods container.
Je nach Größe, insbesondere Tiefe des Kühlgutbehälters können die Laufrollen zusammen mit einem Zwischengehäusebauteil insbesondere derselben Bauart und/oder Baugröße an unterschiedlichen Kühlgutbehältern in verschiedener Anzahl montiert werden. So können bei Kühlgutbehältern geringer bspw. halber Tiefe des Kältegeräts beispielsweise lediglich ein oder zwei Laufrollen und Zwischengehäusebauteile je Seite vorgesehen werden. Bei Kühlgutbehältern großer bzw. voller Tiefe können beispielsweise drei oder mehrere Laufrollen und Zwischengehäusebauteile je Seite vorgesehen werden. Die drei oder mehrere Laufrollen und Zwischengehäusebauteile können auch wahlweise in verschiedenen variierbaren Abständen an Seitenwänden und/oder Bodenwänden des Kühlgutbehälters befestigt, insbesondere angeklemmt werden.Depending on the size, in particular depth, of the refrigerated goods container, the rollers can be mounted together with an intermediate housing component, in particular of the same type and / or size, on different refrigerated goods containers in different numbers. In the case of refrigerated goods containers of less than half the depth of the refrigeration device, for example, only one or two rollers and intermediate housing components can be provided on each side. For refrigerated goods containers of large or full depth, for example, three or more rollers and intermediate housing components can be provided on each side. The three or more rollers and intermediate housing components can also optionally be attached, in particular clamped, to the side walls and / or bottom walls of the refrigerated goods container at different, variable intervals.
In allen erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltungen kann der Innenbehälter außerdem wenigstens einen, die maximale Einschubtiefe des Kühlgutbehälters begrenzenden Anschlag aufweisen. Mittels des Anschlags kann beispielsweise verhindert werden, dass eine Rückwand des Kühlgutbehälters unmittelbar an einer Rückwand des Innenbehälters ansteht. Wird mittels des erfindungsgemäßen Anschlags ein verbleibender Zwischenraum zwischen Rückwand des Kühlgutbehälters und Rückwand des Innenbehälters geschaffen, so kann beispielsweise sich an der Rückwand des Innenbehälters bildendes Tauwasser bzw. Kondensationswasser ungehindert nach unten ablaufen und/oder beispielsweise unangenehme Anschlagsgeräusche oder hohe Anschlagskräfte, die beispielsweise den Kühlgutbehälter bzw. darin gelagertes Kühlgut beschädigen könnten, vermieden oder zumindest reduziert werden. Die Anschläge können dazu Geräusch mindernd und/oder elastisch abfedernd ausgebildet sein, oder mit entsprechenden Geräusch mindernden und/oder elastischen Oberflächen versehen sein.In all of the configurations according to the invention, the inner container can also have at least one stop which limits the maximum insertion depth of the refrigerated goods container. By means of the stop, it can be prevented, for example, that a rear wall of the refrigerated goods container is in direct contact with a rear wall of the inner container. If the remaining space between the rear wall of the refrigerated goods container and the rear wall of the inner container is created by means of the stop according to the invention, then, for example, condensation water or condensation water forming on the rear wall of the inner container can run down unhindered and / or, for example, unpleasant impact noises or high impact forces which, for example, the refrigerated goods container or could damage refrigerated goods stored therein, be avoided or at least reduced. For this purpose, the stops can be designed to reduce noise and / or elastically, or they can be provided with corresponding noise-reducing and / or elastic surfaces.
Der Anschlag kann von einem in Richtung der Rückwand des Innenbehälters abschüssigen Deckenwandabschnitt einer an der Seitenwand des Innenbehälters vorspringenden Rippe gebildet werden, der an einer Oberkante des Kühlgutbehälters in der Anschlagsposition ansteht. Es können an beiden gegenüberliegenden Seiten jeweils eine Rippe am Innenbehälter ausgebildet sein. Neben Ihrer Funktion als Träger für die erfindungsgemäßen Anschläge bzw. abschüssigen Deckenwandabschnitt können die Rippen dazu dienen, einen auf die Rippen aufgelegten Fachboden zu tragen. Der als in Richtung der Rückwand des Innenbehälters abschüssiger Deckenwandabschnitt ausgebildete Anschlag kann in einer vollständig eingeschobenen Position des Kühlgutbehälters an korrespondierenden Behälterkanten des Kühlgutbehälters anstehen. Die korrespondierenden Behälterkanten des Kühlgutbehälters können folglich statt horizontal verlaufend, in Richtung der Rückwand des Innenbehälters abschüssig verlaufend ausgebildet sein.The stop can be formed by a sloping top wall section in the direction of the rear wall of the inner container of a rib projecting on the side wall of the inner container, which rib on an upper edge of the refrigerated goods container in the stop position is pending. A rib can be formed on the inner container on both opposite sides. In addition to their function as a carrier for the stops or sloping ceiling wall section according to the invention, the ribs can serve to support a shelf placed on the ribs. The stop, which is designed as a sloping top wall section in the direction of the rear wall of the inner container, can be in a fully inserted position of the refrigerated goods container at corresponding container edges of the refrigerated goods container. The corresponding container edges of the refrigerated goods container can consequently be designed to run in a sloping manner in the direction of the rear wall of the inner container instead of running horizontally.
In allen erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltungen kann der Innenbehälter außerdem wenigstens eine, die maximale Auszugsweite des Kühlgutbehälters begrenzende Rückhalteeinrichtung aufweisen. Die Rückhalteeinrichtung kann von einem in Richtung der Rückwand des Innenbehälters ansteigenden Deckenwandabschnitt einer an der Seitenwand des Innenbehälters vorspringenden Rippe gebildet werden, der an einer Oberkante des Kühlgutbehälters in der maximalen Auszugsposition ansteht.In all of the configurations according to the invention, the inner container can also have at least one retaining device which limits the maximum extension width of the refrigerated goods container. The retaining device can be formed by a top wall section rising in the direction of the rear wall of the inner container and a rib projecting on the side wall of the inner container, which rib rests on an upper edge of the refrigerated goods container in the maximum pull-out position.
Der in Richtung der Rückwand des Innenbehälters ansteigenden Deckenwandabschnitt kann insoweit wenigstens einen Rastvorsprung bilden, hinter dem ein korrespondierender Vorsprung des Kühlgutbehälters angreift bzw. in einer maximal ausgezogenen Position des Kühlgutbehälters ansteht.The ceiling wall section rising in the direction of the rear wall of the inner container can in this respect form at least one latching projection, behind which a corresponding projection of the refrigerated goods container engages or rests in a maximally extended position of the refrigerated goods container.
Mit anderen Worten ausgedrückt kann die Erfindung ein Haushaltskältegerät betreffen, mit wenigstens einer Laufbahn, die wenigstens einen Bahnabschnitt aufweist, der in Richtung einer Rückwand des Innenbehälters abschüssig ausgebildet ist. Durch den wenigstens einen Bahnabschnitt, der in Richtung einer Rückwand des Innenbehälters abschüssig ausgebildet ist, kann eine Selbsteinzug des Kühlgutbehälters realisiert werden. Durch der Laufbahn zugeordnete Laufrollen wird eine Leichtlauflösung erreicht. Diese Leichtlauflösung kann mit einer engen Führung kombiniert sein und eine Gute Haptik ohne eine Verwendung von aufwändigen Auszugsschienensystemen bewirken. Die erfindungsgemäßen Lösungen können kostengünstig sein. In einem eingeschobenen Zustand können die Laufrollen unbelastet sein, um beispielsweise Abdrücke im Innenbehälter zu vermeiden. Mit den erfindungsgemäßen Lösungen kann eine einfache Entnahme von Kühlgut aus dem Kühlgutbehälter erfolgen, insbesondere auch bei geringen Öffnungswinkel des Türblatts von lediglich 90 Grad Öffnungswinkel. Auch ist die Montage der erfindungsgemäßen Kühlgutbehälter einfach, da die Kühlgutbehälter lediglich in den Innenbehälter eingeschoben werden müssen, um ihre Einzugswirkung zu entfalten. Dabei kann eine Begrenzung des Auszugsweges wahlweise, oder sowohl als auch, durch Anschläge im Bereich einer vorderen bzw. hinteren Endlage realisiert werden. So kann durch eine Rampe, insbesondere durch wenigstens eine Laufbahn, die wenigstens einen Bahnabschnitt aufweist, der in Richtung einer Rückwand des Innenbehälters abschüssig ausgebildet ist, ein Selbsteinzug des Kühlgutbehälters in einem hinteren Bereich erreicht werden. In diesem hinteren Bereich kann der Kühlgutbehälter sich auf einer Ablagefläche, d.h. Tragabschnitt ablegen, so dass eine Laufrollenentlastung eintritt.In other words, the invention can relate to a household refrigeration device with at least one track which has at least one track section which is designed to be sloping in the direction of a rear wall of the inner container. The at least one web section, which is designed to be sloping in the direction of a rear wall of the inner container, allows the refrigerated goods container to be self-retracted. A smooth running solution is achieved by the rollers assigned to the track. This easy-running solution can be combined with a narrow guide and create a good feel without the use of complex pull-out rail systems. The solutions according to the invention can be inexpensive. In a pushed-in state, the rollers can be unloaded, for example to avoid leaving marks in the inner container. With the solutions according to the invention, a simple one Refrigerated goods are removed from the refrigerated goods container, in particular even with a small opening angle of the door leaf of only 90 degrees opening angle. The assembly of the refrigerated goods containers according to the invention is also simple, since the refrigerated goods containers only have to be inserted into the inner container in order to develop their pull-in effect. The extension path can be limited either, or both, by stops in the area of a front or rear end position. Thus, a self-retraction of the refrigerated goods container can be achieved in a rear area by means of a ramp, in particular by at least one track, which has at least one track section which is designed to be sloping in the direction of a rear wall of the inner container. In this rear area, the refrigerated goods container can be placed on a storage surface, that is to say a supporting section, so that the rollers are relieved.
