  • a deposit container on a door of a household appliance is intended for depositing and/or storing food, bottles and similar, which may in turn comprise different heights.
  • several solutions are available enabling the adjustment of the deposit container to a new position.
  • a patent application No. EP 2 108 907 A1 discloses a solution comprising a mechanism with several parts and a plastic spring which enables relocation of a pawl on a wave-shaped section and, thus, a vertical adjustment of the deposit container. Said solution is relatively complex and makes cleaning of the parts rather difficult.
  • the object of the present invention is to create a system for vertically adjusting a deposit container in a door of a household appliance, particularly cooling and/or freezing apparatus which remedies drawbacks of know solutions.
  • each fastening rib which is arranged on a rail shaped projection formed in each vertical marginal area in an inner wall of said door, cooperates with a deposit container and at least one snap-action means inserted into a correspondent receptacle of said container.
  • each transversal confine of said container is formed over the entire height thereof, in the area of the association with a back wall of the deposit container, with a vertical groove fitted to receive and to cooperate by means of a loose fit with each said fastening rib.
  • Each said groove is provided in the area of the transition to said transversal confine with a hollow box-shaped receptacle, each of said receptacles being formed at the side of each transversal confine with a through-hole into which snaps-in a transversal projection of the snap-action means.
  • a system for vertically adjusting a deposit container in a door of a household appliance, particularly cooling and/or freezing apparatus is formed on the side of a door 1 facing the interior of a household appliance not shown.
  • Said door 1 comprises at the side facing the interior of cooling and/or freezing apparatus an inner wall 2 which is formed in each vertical marginal area 3, 4 thereof with a rail shaped projection 5, 6 extending, essentially, over the entire height of the door 1.
  • Each said projection 5, 6 comprises at the side facing the opposite projection 5, 6 a fastening rib 7, 8 in order to vertically fix a deposit container 9.
  • each fastening rib 7, 8 is arranged on each projection 5, 6 spaced from the inner wall, in the present preferred embodiment it is arranged in the central area between the association of each projection 5, 6 with the inner wall 2 and the free end of each projection 5, 6.
  • said inner wall is made of plastic material with each said fastening rib 7, 8 being formed by means of a blow moulding.
  • each fastening rib 7, 8 is formed in a similar manner as said fastening rib 7, 8 an end stop 10, 11; 10', 11' preventing positioning the deposit container 9 to close to the lower edge of the door 1. It is provided for according to the present invention that each fastening rib 7, 8 is formed essentially over the entire length thereof with fastening means 12, 13.
  • said fastening means 12, 13 are formed on each fastening rib 7, 8 at the side facing away from said inner wall 2 of the door 1. Further, an embodiment is possible where said fastening means 12, 13 are formed on each fastening rib 7, 8 at the facing side each other. Furthermore, with the present embodiment said fastening means 12, 13 are formed in a manner of a rack with a mutually equidistant spaced peaks and troughs. Obviously, alternative embodiments of the rack are possible such as the fastening ribs 7, 8 with recesses, raises and similar spaced more or less equidistantly in height.
  • said fastening rib 7, 8 is preferably formed integrally with said inner wall 2 of said door 1, preferably by means of a blow moulding. Additionally, each said fastening rib 7, 8 is provided at the top free end thereof with a convenient chamfer which facilitates accommodation of the deposit container 9 on the fastening ribs 7, 8.
  • said deposit container 9 is formed specular symmetrically with respect to the vertical, and accommodated on said door 1 in a longitudinal area between said rail-shaped projections 5, 6 and fastening ribs 7, 8, respectively.
  • each transversal confine 14, 15 of said container 9 is formed over the entire height thereof and in the area of the association with a back wall 16, i.e. in the area located close to said wall 2 of the door 1, with a vertical groove 17, 18 the transversal dimension thereof being fitted to accept and to cooperate by means of a loose fit with each fastening rib 7, 8.
  • said groove 17, 18 can be formed in a manner to extend in the transversal direction of said container 9 up to said back wall 16, thus, creating a step 19, 20 between said back wall 16 and each said transversal confine 14, 15.
  • Said groove 17, 18 is provided in the transitional area to said transversal confine 14, 15 with a hollow box-shaped receptacle 21, 22, each one thereof being formed at the side of each transversal confine 14, 15 with a through-hole 23, 24.
  • Each receptacle 21, 22 is provided for the accommodation of a snap-action means 25, 26 cooperating with the fastening means 12, 13 of each fastening rib 7, 8.
  • said deposit container 9 is provided with only one snap-action means.
  • said snap-action means 25, 26 are of identical shape, an embodiment is possible, though, with said snap-action means 25, 26 shaped differently with regard to the position thereof in the deposit container 9, where in such a case the second snap-action means is shaped specular symmetrically with respect to the first snap-action means in a manner as described above for said deposit container 9. Therefore, only the first snap-action means 25 is described in the foregoing.
  • Said first snap-action means 25 is formed as a two-legged fastener with a first flat leg 27 thereof being longer than a second flat leg 28.
  • the transversal dimension of said two-legged fastener is such that said fastener cooperates by means of a loose fit with said receptacle 21, 22 of the deposit container 9.
  • said flat legs 27, 28 extend in parallel and are associated by means of a web 29 which enables a flexible movement of the legs 27, 28 against each other.
  • Said second leg 28 is formed in the area of the free end thereof and at least at one side of said free end with a transversally extending projection 30 intended to cooperate with the through-hole 23, 24 of said container 9.
  • the free end of said projection 30 is preferably formed with a slanted surface 31 the inclination thereof decreases in the direction from said free end of the second leg 28 towards said web 29.
  • Said first leg 27 is formed at the free end thereof with a transversal enlargement 32 intended to facilitate the cooperation with a user.
  • Said first leg is formed in the area between said web 29 and said transversal enlargement 32 with a convexity 33 which is intended to engage the trough of the rack formed fastening means 12, 13 when the snap-action means 25 is installed.
  • Said convexity 33 extends approximately in the direction perpendicular to the surface-wide portion of said flat first leg 27 and is formed at the free end thereof with a projection 34 which extends approximately transversal and faces said web 29.
  • both the convexity 33 of each snap-action means 25, 26 and the corresponding troughs of each fastening means 12, 13 are formed with an undercut, thus, enabling a safe accommodation of the deposit container 9 on said fastening means 12, 13.
  • each fastening rib 7, 8 comprises in the area below said chamfer, when observing in direction of the extension of each rib 7, 8, an additional fastening means 35.
  • the latter is formed in a manner that said transversal projection 34 of the convexity 33 snaps into the depression 36 of the fastening means 35 when said deposit container 9 reaches the extreme upper position thereof, said depression 36 being undercut in the direction opposite to the direction of the undercut of each fastening means 12, 13.
  • Said deposit container 9 is placed on to the inner side of said door 1 of a cooling and/or freezing apparatus in the following way.
  • Said snap-action means 25, 26 is inserted into at least one said receptacle 21, 22 of the deposit container 9, preferably into both receptacles 21, 22. Since the transversal dimension of the projection 31 is bigger that the inner dimension of the receptacle 21, 22, said snap-action means slips by means of said slanted surface 31' of the projection 31 over the inner wall of said receptacle 21, 22, which in turn results in the second leg 28 of each snap-action means 25, 26 to be elastically deformed in the transversal direction of the second leg 28 due to said cut 30.
  • said transversal projection 34 of the convexity 33 snaps into the depression 36 which is undercut in the direction opposite to the direction of the undercut of each fastening means 12, 13 thus, preventing any further movement of the deposit container 9. If the deposit container 9 is to be completely removed off the fastening ribs 7, 8, said transversal enlargement 32 is to be pushed away from the ribs 7, 8. Thus, said transversal projection 34 disengages said depression 36 and, respectively, additional fastening means 35, enabling further movement of the deposit container 9 towards the free end of each rib 7, 8.
