Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Abdeckung für ein Bauteil eines Kühl- und/oder Gefriergerätes mit einem gekühlten Innenraum, wie beispielsweise zur Abdeckung eines Ventilators oder zur Abdeckung eines Bestandteils des Kältemittelkreislaufes, wie z. B. des Verdampfers, wobei der gekühlte Innenraum durch zumindest eine Wandung und insbesondere durch zumindest einen Innenbehälter begrenzt ist. Die offene Seite des Innenbehälters wird durch ein Verschlusselement, insbesondere durch eine Tür oder einen Deckel verschlossen.The present invention relates to a cover for a component of a refrigerator and / or freezer with a cooled interior, such as for covering a fan or for covering a component of the refrigerant circuit, such as. B. the evaporator, the cooled interior being limited by at least one wall and in particular by at least one inner container. The open side of the inner container is closed by a closure element, in particular by a door or a lid.

Aus dem Stand der Technik ist es bekannt, innerhalb des gekühlten Innenraumes eines Kühl- bzw. Gefriergerätes einen Ventilator anzuordnen, der für eine Luftumwälzung in dem gekühlten Innenraum bzw. für eine Luftführung über einen Verdampfer sorgt. Diese bekannten Ventilatoren werden mit einer Ventilatorabdeckung versehen, die üblicherweise auf die Rückwand des Innenbehälters geschraubt wird oder auch mit einem Bajonettverschluss an der Rückwand des Innenbehälters befestigt wird.It is known from the prior art to arrange a fan within the cooled interior of a refrigerator or freezer, which ensures air circulation in the cooled interior or for air guidance via an evaporator. These known fans are provided with a fan cover which is usually screwed onto the rear wall of the inner container or is also fastened to the rear wall of the inner container with a bayonet catch.

Die EP 0 507 754 A2 zeigt eine Abdeckung eines Kühl- und/oder Gefriergeräts nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The EP 0 507 754 A2 shows a cover of a refrigerator and / or freezer according to the preamble of claim 1.

Die DE 10 2012 201883 A1 offenbart ein Kältegerät mit einem Lüfter, das über eine verschwenkbare Befestigung befestigbar ist.The DE 10 2012 201883 A1 discloses a refrigerator with a fan that can be attached via a pivotable attachment.

Aus der US 2014/110088 A1 ist ein Verdampfer bekannt, dessen Gehäuse über eine verschwenkbare Klappe zugänglich ist.From the US 2014/110088 A1 an evaporator is known, the housing of which is accessible via a pivotable flap.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Abdeckung der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend weiterzubilden, dass deren Montage in dem gekühlten Innenraum besonders einfach durchgeführt werden kann.The present invention has for its object to develop a cover of the type mentioned in such a way that its assembly in the cooled interior can be carried out particularly easily.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Abdeckung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt der Gedanke zugrunde, die Montage der Abdeckung dadurch vorzunehmen, dass an dem Grundkörper ein relativ zu diesem verschwenkbares Klappteil angeordnet ist. Bei der Montage kann sich das Klappteil in einer ersten Position befinden und im fixierten Zustand der Abdeckung kann es sich in einer zweiten Position befinden, indem es die Abdeckung insgesamt relativ zu der Wandung hält.This object is achieved by a cover with the features of claim 1. The present invention is based on the idea of mounting the cover by arranging a folding part which can be pivoted relative to the base body. During assembly, the folding part can be in a first position and, when the cover is in the fixed state, it can be in a second position by holding the cover as a whole relative to the wall.

Die Fixierung der Abdeckung relativ zu der Wandung und insbesondere relativ zu dem Innenbehälter kann durch Kraftschluss, beispielsweise durch eine Klemmverbindung erreicht werden. So ist es möglich, dass das wenigstens eine Klappteil in seinem verbauten Zustand die Abdeckung zwischen zwei gegenüberliegenden Wandungsabschnitten verspannt und somit eine kraftschlüssige Fixierung der Abdeckung vornimmt.The fixing of the cover relative to the wall and in particular relative to the inner container can be achieved by frictional engagement, for example by a clamp connection. It is thus possible that the at least one folding part, when installed, braces the cover between two opposite wall sections and thus carries out a non-positive fixing of the cover.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn das Klappteil Verbindungsmittel zur formschlüssigen Verbindung des Klappteils mit der Wand aufweist. Bei diesem Verbindungsmitteln kann es sich beispielsweise um einen oder mehrere Vorsprünge und/oder Ausnehmungen handeln. Diese können im montierten Zustand der Abdeckung mit einer oder mit mehreren Ausnehmungen oder Vorsprüngen der Wandung bzw. des Innenbehälters zusammenwirken und zwar derart, dass der Vorsprung der Abdeckung in einer Ausnehmung des Innenbehälters bzw. der Wandung aufgenommen ist und/oder umgekehrt ein Vorsprung der Wandung bzw. des Innenbehälters sich in einer Ausnehmung der Abdeckung erstreckt.It is particularly advantageous if the folding part has connecting means for the positive connection of the folding part to the wall. This connecting means can be, for example, one or more projections and / or recesses. In the assembled state of the cover, they can cooperate with one or more recesses or projections of the wall or the inner container in such a way that the projection of the cover is received in a recess of the inner container or the wall and / or vice versa, a projection of the wall or the inner container extends in a recess of the cover.

Denkbar ist es weiterhin, dass der Grundkörper zumindest einen Anschlag aufweist, durch den die Schwenkbewegung des Klappteils gegenüber dem Grundkörper begrenzt wird. Denkbar ist es somit, dass vorzugsweise im montierten Zustand das Klappteil an dem Anschlag anliegt, sodass eine weitere Schwenkbewegung des Klappteils über den Anschlag hinaus relativ zu dem Grundkörper nicht möglich ist. Vorzugsweise ist der Anschlag so ausgebildet, dass das Klappteil mit dem Grundkörper in einer Ebene liegt, wenn das Klappteil an dem Anschlag anliegt.It is also conceivable that the base body has at least one stop, by means of which the pivoting movement of the folding part relative to the base body is limited. It is thus conceivable that, preferably in the assembled state, the folding part rests against the stop, so that a further pivoting movement of the folding part beyond the stop relative to the base body is not possible. The stop is preferably designed such that the folding part lies in one plane with the base body when the folding part rests on the stop.

Um die Endposition des Klappteils im montierten Zustand der Abdeckung festzulegen, können Fixierungsmittel, insbesondere Rastmittel vorgesehen sein, mittels derer das Klappteil in zumindest einer Position an dem Grundkörper arretierbar ist. Soll die Abdeckung wieder abgenommen werden, müssen diese Fixierungsmittel gelöst werden, sodass eine Schwenkbewegung des wenigstens einen Klappteils relativ zu dem Grundkörper möglich ist und die Abdeckung dann insgesamt abgenommen werden kann.In order to fix the end position of the folding part in the assembled state of the cover, fixing means, in particular latching means, can be provided, by means of which the folding part can be locked in at least one position on the base body. If the cover is to be removed again, these fixing means must be released so that a pivoting movement of the at least one folding part relative to the base body is possible and the cover can then be removed overall.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Abdeckung und insbesondere die Verbindungsmittel und/oder der Grundkörper einen oder mehrere Absorber zur Dämpfung von Geräuschen und/oder Schwingungen aufweist. Dabei ist der wenigstens eine Absorber vorzugsweise so angeordnet, dass sich dieser zwischen der Abdeckung und der Wandung befindet, d.h. vorzugsweise so, dass kein unmittelbarer Kontakt zwischen der Abdeckung und der Wandung bzw. dem Innenbehälter besteht. So werden Schwingungen bzw. Geräusche, die von der Komponente, wie beispielsweise von einem Ventilator ausgehen entsprechend gedämpft.It when the cover and in particular the connecting means and / or the base body has one or more absorbers for damping noise and / or vibrations is particularly advantageous. The at least one absorber is preferably arranged such that it is located between the cover and the wall, i.e. preferably such that there is no direct contact between the cover and the wall or the inner container. Vibrations or noises emanating from the component, such as from a fan, are damped accordingly.

Das abgedeckte Bauteil, wie beispielsweise der Ventilator kann an der Abdeckung montiert sein. Grundsätzlich ist es aber auch denkbar, dass die Abdeckung als solche ausgeführt ist, d.h. nicht mit dem abgedeckten Bauteil versehen ist. Dieses kann dann beispielsweise mit geeigneten Befestigungsmitteln am Innenbehälter festgelegt sein. Unabhängig davon kann die Abdeckung montiert werden. Vorzugsweise erfolgt die Verbindung ohne die Verwendung von gesonderten Befestigungsmitteln, wie z. B. Schrauben.The covered component, such as the fan, can be mounted on the cover. In principle, however, it is also conceivable that the cover is designed as such, ie is not provided with the covered component. This can then be fixed to the inner container, for example, with suitable fastening means. Regardless, the cover can be installed. Preferably, the connection is made without the use of separate fasteners, such as. B. screws.

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft des Weiteren ein Kühl- und/oder Gefriergerät mit wenigstens einem Korpus, der zumindest einen gekühlten Innenraum umgibt, wobei der gekühlte Innenraum wenigstens eine diesen begrenzende Wandung, vorzugsweise einen Innenbehälter aufweist. Dabei ist vorgesehen, dass in dem gekühlten Innenraum wenigstens eine Abdeckung gemäß einen der Ansprüche 1 bis 8 angeordnet ist. Die Verbindungsmittel der Abdeckung stehen mit Verbindungsmitteln der Wandung des gekühlten Innenraumes in einer Wirkverbindung derart, dass die Abdeckung fixiert wird. Die Verbindungsmittel können so ausgebildet sein, dass die Abdeckung allein durch Kraftschluss wie z.B. durch eine Klemmverbindung behalten wird. In diesem Fall sind die Verbindungsmittel Flächen der Wandung bzw. der Abdeckung. Bevorzugt ist es jedoch, wenn alternativ oder zusätzlich eine Verbindung durch Formschluss vorgenommen wird. Dabei ist es z. B. denkbar, dass die Abdeckung und insbesondere die Klappteile Vorsprünge bzw. Dome aufweisen, die in Ausnehmungen der Wandung des gekühlten Innenraumes bzw. des Innenbehälters aufgenommen sind.The present invention further relates to a refrigerator and / or freezer with at least one body that surrounds at least one cooled interior, the cooled interior having at least one wall that delimits it, preferably an inner container. It is provided that at least one cover according to one of claims 1 to 8 is arranged in the cooled interior. The connecting means of the cover are operatively connected to connecting means of the wall of the cooled interior such that the cover is fixed. The connecting means can be designed in such a way that the cover can be connected only by frictional engagement, e.g. is retained by a clamp connection. In this case, the connecting means are surfaces of the wall or the cover. However, it is preferred if, alternatively or additionally, a connection is made by positive locking. It is e.g. B. conceivable that the cover and in particular the folding parts have projections or domes which are received in recesses in the wall of the cooled interior or the inner container.

In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass das Gerät ein oder mehrere Absorber aufweist, die die Abdeckung im Hinblick auf die Übertragung von Schwingungen und/oder Geräuschen vollständig von der Wandung entkoppeln. Diese vollständige Entkopplung hat den Vorteil, dass eine besonders wirksame Schwingungs- bzw. Geräuschdämpfung erreicht werden kann.In a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that the device has one or more absorbers which completely decouple the cover from the wall with regard to the transmission of vibrations and / or noises. This complete decoupling has the advantage that a particularly effective vibration or noise damping can be achieved.

Figur 1 zeigt mit dem Bezugszeichen 10 den Grundkörper einer Ventilatorabdeckung, die insgesamt mit dem Bezugszeichen A gekennzeichnet ist. Figure 1 shows with the reference number 10 the base body of a fan cover, which is identified overall with the reference number A.

Der Grundkörper 10 weist eine zentral angeordnete Öffnung zum Luftdurchtritt auf.The base body 10 has a centrally arranged opening for the passage of air.

Die vorliegende Erfindung ist nicht auf eine Ventilatorabdeckung beschränkt, sondern kann auch als Abdeckung für jedes beliebige andere Teil verwendet werden, wie beispielsweise für einen Verdampfer, der in den Bereich der Abdeckung hochgezogen ist.The present invention is not limited to a fan cover, but can also be used as a cover for any other part, such as an evaporator, which is pulled up in the area of the cover.

Die Abdeckung A besteht außer dem Grundteil 10 aus zwei seitlich angeordneten Klappteilen 20, die symmetrisch zueinander ausgebildet und angeordnet sind. Jedes der Klappteile ist mit jeweils zwei Vorsprüngen bzw. Befestigungsdomen 30 ausgebildet, die sich an der Schmalseite der Klappteile 20 erstrecken. Über jeden dieser Dome ist eine Absorberkappe 40 gesteckt, sodass insgesamt vier Absorberkappen der Abdeckung existieren. Jedes der Klappteile 20 ist relativ zu den Grundkörper schwenkbar.In addition to the base part 10, the cover A consists of two laterally arranged folding parts 20 which are formed and arranged symmetrically to one another. Each of the folding parts is formed with two projections or fastening domes 30, which extend on the narrow side of the folding parts 20. An absorber cap 40 is placed over each of these domes, so that there are a total of four absorber caps of the cover. Each of the folding parts 20 is pivotable relative to the base body.

Die Bezugszeichen 50 kennzeichnenden zwei Absorberstreifen, die zwischen dem Grundkörper 10 und die Innenbehälterwandung eingefügt werden.The reference numerals 50 characterize two absorber strips which are inserted between the base body 10 and the inner container wall.

An der Abdeckung A kann der Ventilator montiert sein. Er kann aber auch als separates Teil z. B. am Innenbehälter montiert sein, sodass nur die Abdeckung A aufgesetzt wird.The fan can be mounted on cover A. But it can also as a separate part z. B. be mounted on the inner container so that only cover A is placed.

Figur 2 zeigt einen Querschnitt durch die Rückseite des Innenbehälters 100. Wie aus Figur 2 ersichtlich, liegen in zwei gegenüberliegende Seiten Vertiefungen 110 in den Innenbehälter 100 vor, die so dimensioniert sind, dass sie die Dome 30 mit den darauf aufgesteckten Absorberkappen 40 formschlüssig aufnehmen können. Figure 2 shows a cross section through the back of the inner container 100. As from Figure 2 As can be seen, there are recesses 110 in the inner container 100 in two opposite sides, which are dimensioned such that they can receive the domes 30 with the absorber caps 40 fitted thereon in a form-fitting manner.

Figur 2 zeigt die Abdeckung vor der Montage bzw. während der Montage. Figure 2 shows the cover before assembly or during assembly.

Wie dies aus Figur 2 ersichtlich ist, verlaufen die beiden Klappteile 20 nicht in Längsrichtung bzw. in einer Ebene mit dem Grundkörper 10, sondern sind dazu spiegelsymmetrisch abgewinkelt, sodass die seitliche Erstreckung der gesamten Einheit ein kleineres Ausmaß aufweist, als wenn die Klappteile und die Abdeckung in einer Ebene liegen, wie dies in Figur 3 der Fall ist.Like this Figure 2 As can be seen, the two folding parts 20 do not run in the longitudinal direction or in one plane with the base body 10, but are angled mirror-symmetrically to them, so that the lateral extent of the entire unit has a smaller dimension than if the folding parts and the cover lie in one plane how this in Figure 3 the case is.

Die schwenkbare Verbindung zwischen dem Grundkörper 10 und den Klappteilen 20 wird beispielsweise dadurch erreicht, dass der Grundkörper Vorsprünge 11 aufweist, die in Ausnehmungen 21 der Klappteile eingreifen. Auch eine umgekehrte Anordnung mit Vorsprüngen am Klappteil 20 und Ausnehmungen am Grundkörper 10 ist denkbar und von der Erfindung mit umfasst.The pivotable connection between the base body 10 and the folding parts 20 is achieved, for example, in that the base body has projections 11 which engage in recesses 21 in the folding parts. An inverted arrangement with projections on the folding part 20 and recesses on the base body 10 is also conceivable and encompassed by the invention.

Aus Figur 1 ist weiter ersichtlich, dass der Grundkörper 10 Anschläge 13 aufweist, an denen die Klappteile 20 anliegen, wenn sie in einer Ebene mit dem Grundkörper 10 liegen. Diese Flächen bilden somit die Anschläge 13, die die Bewegung der Klappteile 20 begrenzt.Out Figure 1 it can also be seen that the base body 10 has stops 13, against which the folding parts 20 rest when they are in one plane with the base body 10. These surfaces thus form the stops 13 which limit the movement of the folding parts 20.

Wie dies aus Figur 1 und 2 ersichtlich ist, werden die Absorberstreifen 50, d.h. aus einem streifenförmigen Material bestehende Absorberelemente mit den Endbereichen 14 des Grundkörpers 10 verbunden, beispielsweise verklebt.Like this Figure 1 and 2 it can be seen, the absorber strips 50, ie absorber elements consisting of a strip-shaped material, are connected, for example glued, to the end regions 14 of the base body 10.

In dem hier dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel befinden sich am Innenbehälter beidseitig je zwei Tiefzüge bzw. Vertiefungen 110 zur Aufnahme der mit den Absorberkappen 40 versehenen Dome 30. Diese beiden Tiefziehungen 110 liegen übereinander, sodass in der Schnittdarstellung gemäß Figur 2 und 3 nur eine solche Vertiefung 110 sichtbar ist.In the exemplary embodiment shown here, there are two deep-drawn sections or depressions 110 on each side of the inner container for receiving the domes 30 provided with the absorber caps 40. These two deep-drawn sections 110 are located one above the other, so that in the sectional view according to Figures 2 and 3 only one such recess 110 is visible.

Im Bereich hinter den Vertiefungen 110 befindet sich eine Schräge 105, die die Montage der Abdeckung vereinfacht, da mehr Raum zum Einführen der Vorsprünge 40 in die Vertiefungen 110 besteht, als wenn sich die Wandungsabschnitte 105 vom Randbereich der Vertiefung gerade erstrecken würden.In the area behind the recesses 110 there is a bevel 105 which simplifies the assembly of the cover, since there is more space for inserting the projections 40 into the recesses 110 than if the wall sections 105 would extend straight from the edge region of the recess.

Die Klappteile 20 weisen jeweils Haken 22 auf, die im geschlossenen Zustand gemäß Figur 3, d.h. wenn die Klappteile ihre Montageposition erreicht haben mit dem Grundkörper 10 verrasten, sodass ein Verschwenken der Klappteile dann nur noch unter einem besonderen Kraftaufwand möglich ist.The folding parts 20 each have hooks 22, which according to in the closed state Figure 3 , ie when the folding parts have reached their assembly position, engage with the base body 10, so that pivoting of the folding parts is then only possible with a particular effort.

Die Montage der Abdeckung A gestaltet sich wie folgt. Die Klappteile 20 werden rechts und links auf die dafür vorgesehenen Dome 11 des Grundkörpers 10 aufgesteckt, jedoch nicht geschlossen, das heißt nicht mit diesem verrastet. Vielmehr ist eine Schrägstellung der Klappteile 20 relativ zum Grundkörper 10 vorzusehen, wie dies aus Figur 2 ersichtlich ist.The cover A is assembled as follows. The folding parts 20 are placed on the right and left on the domes 11 of the base body 10 provided for this purpose, but are not closed, that is to say are not locked with the latter. Rather, an inclined position of the folding parts 20 relative to the base body 10 is to be provided, as is the case here Figure 2 can be seen.

Auf den Klappteilen 20 sind bereits die Absorberkappen 40 aufgesteckt und auf dem Grundteil sind die Absorberstreifen 50 aufgebracht.The absorber caps 40 are already attached to the folding parts 20 and the absorber strips 50 are applied to the base part.

Nun wird die auf diese Weise vervollständigte Abdeckung A gemäß Figur 2 in den Bereich der Vertiefungen 110 positioniert.Now the cover A completed in this way is in accordance with Figure 2 positioned in the area of the depressions 110.

In diesem Zustand sind die Vorsprünge 40 benachbart zu den Vertiefungen 110 angeordnet, jedoch noch nicht in diesen aufgenommen. Um dies zu erreichen, werden die beiden Klappteile nun in Richtung Grundteil gedrückt, sodass sie mit dem Grundteil vollständig oder weitgehend in einer Ebene liegen. Dies kann beispielsweise dadurch erreicht werden, dass auf das Grundteil 10 gemäß Figur 2 eine Kraft von oben ausgeübt wird. Alternativ kann auch eine Kraft auf die Klappteile 20 gemäß Figur 2 von oben ausgeübt werden. Beides hat die Folge, dass sich die Klappenteile in Richtung der Anschläge 13 bewegen und gleichzeitig sich die Dome 30 mit den Absorberkappen 40 in die Vertiefungen 110 des Innenbehälters 100 bewegen. Wenn dann die Haken 22 der Klappenteile 20 im oder am Grundteil 10 einrasten, ist die Montage beendet. Dieser Zustand ist aus Figur 3 ersichtlich.In this state, the projections 40 are arranged adjacent to the depressions 110, but have not yet been received therein. In order to achieve this, the two folding parts are now pressed in the direction of the base part, so that they lie completely or largely in one plane with the base part. This can be achieved, for example, in that the base part 10 according to FIG Figure 2 a force is exerted from above. Alternatively, a force can also be exerted on the folding parts 20 according to FIG Figure 2 be exercised from above. Both have the consequence that the Flap parts move in the direction of the stops 13 and at the same time the domes 30 with the absorber caps 40 move into the depressions 110 of the inner container 100. If the hooks 22 of the flap parts 20 then snap into or on the base part 10, the assembly is ended. This condition is over Figure 3 evident.

Wie dies aus Figur 3 weiter hervorgeht, liegt der Absorberstreifen 50 auf einem Stufenförmigen Absatz 106 des Innenbehälters auf. Somit ist der Grundkörper geräuschlich und/oder im Hinblick auf Schwingungen relativ zum Innenbehälter 100 entkoppelt. Entsprechendes gilt auch für die Klappteile mittels der Absorberkappen 40. Insgesamt liegt somit eine vollständige Entkopplung der Abdeckung vom Innenbehälter 100 vor.Like this Figure 3 further emerges, the absorber strip 50 rests on a stepped shoulder 106 of the inner container. The base body is thus decoupled in terms of noise and / or with respect to vibrations relative to the inner container 100. The same also applies to the folding parts by means of the absorber caps 40. Overall, the cover is thus completely decoupled from the inner container 100.

Soll die Abdeckung A wieder demontiert werden, sind die auf dem Grundteil 10 eingerasteten Haken 22 der Klappteile 20 zu lösen, beispielsweise händisch oder mittels eines Werkzeuges. Anschließend können die Klappteile wieder relativ zum Grundkörper verschwenkt werden, sodass die in Figur 2 dargestellte Position vorliegt und dann aus dem Gerät entnommen werden.If the cover A is to be removed again, the hooks 22 of the folding parts 20 which are latched onto the base part 10 are to be released, for example by hand or by means of a tool. Then the folding parts can be pivoted again relative to the base body, so that the in Figure 2 position shown is present and then removed from the device.

Zur Aufnahme der Rasthaken 22 können entsprechende Aufnahmen im Grundkörper 10 vorhanden sein. Grundsätzlich ist es auch denkbar, dass die Rasthaken am Grundkörper und die dazu komplementären Aufnahmen an den Klappteilen 20 angeordnet sind.Corresponding receptacles can be present in the base body 10 to accommodate the latching hooks 22. In principle, it is also conceivable for the latching hooks to be arranged on the base body and the receptacles complementary thereto to be arranged on the folding parts 20.

Figur 4 zeigt die fertig montierte Abdeckung A sowie einen Teilbereich des Innenbehälters. Aus dieser Figur geht hervor, dass insgesamt vier Vertiefungen 110 am Innenbehälter vorliegen, und zwar in gegenüberliegenden Wandabschnitten, in denen die Dome 40 eingefügt sind. Figure 4 shows the fully assembled cover A and a portion of the inner container. This figure shows that there are a total of four depressions 110 on the inner container, specifically in opposite wall sections in which the domes 40 are inserted.

Aus Figur 4 geht weiter hervor, dass die Klappteile 20 und der Grundkörper im montierten Zustand weitgehend oder vollständig eine glatte, d.h. stufenlose Fläche ausbilden. Dies gilt nicht nur für die in Figur 4 oben dargestellte Hauptfläche, sondem auch für die Ober- und Unterkante der Abdeckung, sodass sich insgesamt ein besonders ansprechender optischer Gesamteindruck ergibt.Out Figure 4 It can further be seen that the folding parts 20 and the base body largely or completely form a smooth, ie stepless surface in the assembled state. This does not only apply to those in Figure 4 Main area shown above, but also for the top and bottom edge of the cover, so that overall a particularly appealing overall visual impression results.
