Vorteilhaft soll unter einstückig jedoch in einem Stück geformt verstanden werden. Vorzugsweise wird dieses eine Stück aus einem einzelnen Rohling und/oder einem Guss, besonders bevorzugt in einem Spritzgussverfahren, insbesondere einem Ein- und/oder Mehrkomponenten-Spritzgussverfahren, hergestellt. Hierdurch kann insbesondere eine Herstellung vereinfacht werden.In one embodiment of the invention it is proposed that the bearing axis is axially fixedly connected to the grip element and is advantageously integrally connected to the grip element, and that the device closure element has at least one first further fixing element corresponding to the first fixing element. By the fact that two objects are "axially fixedly connected to one another", it should be understood in particular that a relative position and / or positioning of the objects remains unchanged, at least during a movement of one of the objects, in particular in the direction of the axis of rotation. The first fixing element is advantageous here as a latching element, in particular as a latching hook, and the first further fixing element is designed as a, in particular, corresponding latching element, in particular as a latching web. In addition, the device closure element preferably has at least one second further fixing element which corresponds to the second fixing element. The second fixing element is advantageous here as a latching element, in particular as a latching hook, and the second further fixing element as, in particular corresponding latching element, in particular as a latching web, formed. In this context, "integral" should be understood to mean, in particular, at least materially bonded. The material can For example, by an adhesive process, a Anspritzprozess, a welding process, a soldering process and / or another, a person skilled in the sense appearing process, are produced. Advantageously to be understood in one piece, however, molded in one piece. Preferably, this is a piece of a single blank and / or a cast, more preferably in an injection molding process, in particular a one- and / or multi-component injection molding process prepared. In this way, in particular a production can be simplified.

Figur 1 zeigt einen Teil eines beispielhaften als Haushaltskältegerät ausgebildeten Haushaltsgeräts 28a in einer perspektivischen Frontansicht. Im vorliegenden Fall ist das Haushaltsgerät 28a als Standgerät ausgebildet. Demnach ist das Haushaltsgerät 28a freistehend ausgebildet. Zudem ist das Haushaltsgerät 28a als Kühl-Gefrier-Kombigerät ausgebildet. Alternativ ist jedoch auch denkbar, ein Haushaltsgerät als anderes Haushaltskältegerät und/oder als Einbaugerät auszubilden, welches insbesondere in einem montierten Zustand in ein Haushaltsmöbel eingebaut sein kann. FIG. 1 shows a part of an exemplary household appliance designed as a household appliance 28a in a front perspective view. In the present case, the household appliance 28a is designed as a standalone unit. Accordingly, the household appliance 28a is freestanding. In addition, the household appliance 28a is designed as a combined refrigerated-freezer. Alternatively, however, it is also conceivable to design a household appliance as another household refrigerating appliance and / or as a built-in appliance, which can be installed in a household appliance in particular in an assembled state.

Das Haushaltsgerät 28a umfasst ferner eine Haushaltsgerätevorrichtung. Die Haushaltsgerätevorrichtung ist auf bekannte Art und Weise dazu vorgesehen, Lebensmittel und andere Kühlgüter zu kühlen. Dazu umfasst die Haushaltsgerätevorrichtung einen Gerätekorpus 30a. Der Gerätekorpus 30a definiert einen Innenraum. Der Innenraum weist im vorliegenden Fall zumindest einen Nutzraum 12a auf. Der Nutzraum 12a weist eine Zugangsöffnung auf. Der Nutzraum 12a ist als Gefrierraum ausgebildet.The household appliance 28a further comprises a household appliance device. The household appliance device is provided in a known manner to cool food and other refrigerated goods. For this purpose, the household appliance device comprises a device body 30a. The device body 30a defines an interior. In the present case, the interior has at least one useful space 12a. The work space 12a has an access opening. The work space 12a is formed as a freezer compartment.

Zudem umfasst die Haushaltsgerätevorrichtung zumindest ein Geräteverschlusselement 10a. Das Geräteverschlusselement 10a ist als Gerätetüre ausgebildet. Das Geräteverschlusselement 10a ist dazu vorgesehen, die Zugangsöffnung des Nutzraums 12a zu verschließen. Das Geräteverschlusselement 10a ist im vorliegenden Fall als Gefrierfachtüre ausgebildet und vollständig innerhalb des Haushaltsgeräts 28a angeordnet. Das Geräteverschlusselement 10a ist ferner beidseitig anschlagbar ausgebildet und weist hierzu zwei Anschlagseiten 36a, 38a auf. Die Anschlagseiten 36a, 38a sind in einem montierten Zustand vertikal ausgerichtet. Bei einer Montage des Geräteverschlusselements 10a ist eine Anschlagseite 36a, 38a des Geräteverschlusselements 10a frei wählbar. Das Geräteverschlusselement 10a ist dabei abhängig von einer gewählten Anschlagseite 36a, 38a schwenkbar um eine Schwenkachse 32a oder um eine Schwenkachse 34a gelagert. Die Schwenkachsen 32a, 34a sind vertikal ausgerichtet. Darüber hinaus ist der gesamte Gerätekorpus 30a mittels eines nicht dargestellten weiteren, insbesondere frontseitig anbringbaren, Geräteverschlusselements verschließbar. Das weitere Geräteverschlusselement ist als Außentüre ausgebildet. Das weitere Geräteverschlusselement deckt somit in einem geschlossenen Zustand das Geräteverschlusselement 10a ab. Alternativ ist denkbar, dass ein erfindungsgemäßes Geräteverschlusselement auch als von einer Gefrierfachtüre abweichendes Geräteverschlusselement ausgebildet sein kann, wie beispielsweise als Geräteklappe und/oder Außentüre. Zudem könnte eine Anschlagseite und/oder eine Schwenkachse horizontal ausgebildet sein. Auch könnte eine Haushaltsgerätevorrichtung mehrere Geräteverschlusselemente und/oder Nutzräume umfassen.In addition, the household appliance device comprises at least one device closure element 10a. The device closure element 10a is designed as a device door. The device closure element 10a is provided to close the access opening of the work space 12a. The device closure element 10a is formed in the present case as a freezer compartment door and completely disposed within the household appliance 28a. The device closure element 10a can also be abutted on both sides formed and has for this purpose two stop sides 36a, 38a. The stopper sides 36a, 38a are vertically aligned in an assembled state. When mounting the device closure element 10a, a stop side 36a, 38a of the device closure element 10a is freely selectable. The device closure element 10a is pivotally mounted as a function of a selected stop side 36a, 38a about a pivot axis 32a or about a pivot axis 34a. The pivot axes 32a, 34a are aligned vertically. In addition, the entire device body 30a can be closed by means of a further, not shown, further front attachable, device closure element. The further device closure element is designed as an outer door. The further device closure element thus covers the device closure element 10a in a closed state. Alternatively, it is conceivable that a device closure element according to the invention may also be designed as a device closure element deviating from a freezer compartment door, for example as a device flap and / or outer door. In addition, a stop side and / or a pivot axis could be formed horizontally. Also, a household appliance device could comprise a plurality of device closure elements and / or utility rooms.

Ferner weist die Haushaltsgerätevorrichtung ein Griffelement 14a auf (vgl. insbesondere Figuren 2 und 3). Das Griffelement 14a ist an dem Geräteverschlusselement 10a angeordnet. Das Griffelement 14a ist an einer Unterseite und/oder einer einem Standbereich des Haushaltsgeräts 28a zugewandten Seite des Geräteverschlusselements 10a angeordnet. Im vorliegenden Fall ist das Griffelement 14a an einem unteren Flansch des Geräteverschlusselements 10a angeordnet. Das Griffelement 14a umgreift die Unterseite des Geräteverschlusselements 10a dabei zumindest teilweise und erstreckt sich insbesondere von einer Rückseite des Geräteverschlusselements 10a zur Frontseite des Geräteverschlusselements 10a. Das Griffelement 14a ist dazu vorgesehen, in zumindest einem Anwendungszustand das Geräteverschlusselement 10a mittels einer von einem Bediener ausgeübten Kraft zu öffnen. Dabei ist das Griffelement 14a schwenkbar gelagert und dazu vorgesehen, mittels einer Schwenkbewegung das Geräteverschlusselement 10a zu öffnen, wodurch das Geräteverschlusselement 10a von einer geschlossenen Position in eine geöffnete Position bewegt werden kann. Dazu weist das Griffelement 14a eine nicht näher dargestellte Verbindung mit einem Öffnungsmechanismus des Geräteverschlusselements 10a auf. Darüber hinaus ist das Griffelement 14a verschiebbar gelagert. Das Griffelement 14a ist dabei in horizontaler Richtung verschiebbar. Im vorliegenden Fall kann das Griffelement 14a von einem Bediener zwischen den beiden Anschlagseiten 36a, 38a des Geräteverschlusselements 10a verschoben werden.Furthermore, the household appliance device has a grip element 14a (cf. Figures 2 and 3 ). The grip element 14a is arranged on the device closure element 10a. The gripping element 14a is arranged on a lower side and / or a side of the appliance closure element 10a facing a standing area of the household appliance 28a. In the present case, the grip element 14a is arranged on a lower flange of the device closure element 10a. The grip element 14a at least partially surrounds the underside of the device closure element 10a and extends in particular from a rear side of the device closure element 10a to the front side of the device closure element 10a. The grip element 14a is provided to open the device closure element 10a in at least one application state by means of a force exerted by an operator. In this case, the grip element 14a is pivotally mounted and provided to open the device closure element 10a by means of a pivoting movement, whereby the device closure element 10a can be moved from a closed position to an open position. For this purpose, the grip element 14a has a connection, not shown, with an opening mechanism of the device closure element 10a. In addition, the grip element 14a is slidably mounted. The grip element 14a is displaceable in the horizontal direction. In the present case, the grip element 14a can be displaced by an operator between the two stop sides 36a, 38a of the device closure element 10a.

Dazu umfasst die Haushaltsgerätevorrichtung eine Lagerachse 16a (vgl. insbesondere Figuren 4 und 5). Die Lagerachse 16a ist als Lagerstange ausgebildet. Im vorliegenden Fall ist die Lagerachse 16a kreiszylinderförmig ausgebildet. Eine Haupterstreckungslänge der Lagerachse 16a ist zumindest im Wesentlichen identisch zu einer Haupterstreckungslänge des Griffelements 14a. Zudem entspricht die Haupterstreckungslänge der Lagerachse 16a zwischen einem Viertel und einer Hälfe einer gesamten Haupterstreckungslänge des Geräteverschlusselements 10a. Die Lagerachse 16a ist in einem montierten Zustand horizontal angeordnet. Eine Haupterstreckungsrichtung der Lagerachse 16a definiert dabei eine, insbesondere horizontal angeordnete, Drehachse 26a. Die Drehachse 26a erstreckt sich ferner durch einen geometrischen Mittelpunkt der Lagerachse 16a. Die Lagerachse 16a ist dazu vorgesehen, das Griffelement 14a beweglich zu lagern. Im vorliegenden Fall lagert die Lagerachse 16a das Griffelement 14a verschiebbar entlang der Drehachse 26a und schwenkbar um die Drehachse 26a. Darüber hinaus sind die Lagerachse 16a und das Griffelement 14a einstückig ausgebildet. Demnach ist die Lagerachse 16a axial fest mit dem Griffelement 14a verbunden. Alternativ ist denkbar, eine Lagerachse und ein Griffelement mehrteilig auszubilden und beispielsweise mittels einer formschlüssigen, einer kraftschlüssigen und/oder einer stoffschlüssigen Verbindung miteinander zu verbinden.For this purpose, the household appliance device comprises a bearing axle 16a (cf. FIGS. 4 and 5 ). The bearing shaft 16a is formed as a bearing rod. In the present case, the bearing axis 16a is formed circular-cylindrical. A main extension length of the bearing shaft 16a is at least substantially identical to a main extension length of the grip element 14a. In addition, the main extension length of the bearing shaft 16a corresponds to between a quarter and a half of a total main extension length of the device shutter member 10a. The bearing shaft 16a is arranged horizontally in an assembled state. A main extension direction of the bearing axis 16a defines a, in particular horizontally arranged, axis of rotation 26a. The axis of rotation 26a further extends through a geometric center of the bearing axis 16a. The bearing shaft 16a is provided to support the handle member 14a movable. In the present case, the bearing shaft 16a slidably supports the grip element 14a along the rotation axis 26a and pivotally about the rotation axis 26a. In addition, the bearing axis 16a and the grip element 14a are integrally formed. Accordingly, the bearing shaft 16a is axially fixedly connected to the handle member 14a. Alternatively, it is conceivable to design a bearing axle and a handle element in several parts and to connect them to one another, for example, by means of a positive, a non-positive and / or a material connection.

Ferner ist die Lagerachse 16a in einem montierten Zustand mit dem Geräteverschlusselement 10a verbunden. Im vorliegenden Fall ist die Lagerachse 16a lösbar mit dem Geräteverschlusselement 10a verbunden. Die Lagerachse 16a ist dabei mittels einer Rastverbindung mit dem Geräteverschlusselement 10a verbunden. Dazu umfasst das Geräteverschlusselement 10a mehrere in horizontaler Richtung und/oder in Haupterstreckungsrichtung des Geräteverschlusselements 10a versetzt angeordnete Griffrastelemente 40a, im vorliegenden Fall insbesondere Rasthaken und/oder Rastösen, welche insbesondere dazu vorgesehen sind, mit der Lagerachse 16a zu verrasten. Die Rastverbindung ist dabei derart ausgebildet, dass die Lagerachse 16a relativ zu dem Geräteverschlusselement 10a beweglich ist. Im vorliegenden Fall ist die Lagerachse 16a zusammen mit dem Griffelement 14a in Richtung der Drehachse 26a und somit insbesondere relativ zu dem Geräteverschlusselement 10a verschiebbar. Somit dient die Lagerachse 16a einer Führungsschiene für das Griffelement 14a.Further, the bearing shaft 16a is connected in a mounted state with the device shutter member 10a. In the present case, the bearing shaft 16a is detachably connected to the device closure element 10a. The bearing axis 16a is connected by means of a latching connection with the device closure element 10a. For this purpose, the device closure element 10a comprises a plurality in the horizontal direction and / or in the main extension direction of the device closure element 10a staggered arranged Griffrastelemente 40a, in the present case in particular latching hooks and / or detent eyes, which are in particular provided to lock with the bearing axis 16a. The locking connection is designed such that the bearing axis 16a is movable relative to the device closure element 10a. In the present case, the bearing axis 16a together with the grip element 14a in the direction of the axis of rotation 26a and thus in particular displaceable relative to the device closure element 10a. Thus, the bearing shaft 16a is a guide rail for the handle member 14a.

Zur Fixierung und/oder Arretierung der Lagerachse 16a und somit des Griffelements 14a in einer vorbestimmten und/oder vorbestimmbaren Verschiebeposition, weist die Lagerachse 16a ferner mehrere Fixierelemente 18a, 20a auf. Im vorliegenden Fall weist die Lagerachse 16a zwei Fixierelemente 18a, 20a auf. Die Fixierelemente 18a, 20a sind zueinander zumindest im Wesentlichen identisch ausgebildet. Die Fixierelemente 18a, 20a sind als Rastelemente ausgebildet. Im vorliegenden Fall sind die Fixierelemente 18a, 20a als Rasthaken ausgebildet. Die Fixierelemente 18a, 20a sind bezüglich der Haupterstreckungsrichtung der Lagerachse 16a zumindest im Wesentlichen in gegenüberliegenden Seitenbereichen der Lagerachse 16a angeordnet. Ein erstes Fixierelement 18a der Fixierelemente 18a, 20a ist dabei bezüglich der Haupterstreckungsrichtung der Lagerachse 16a an einer ersten Seite der Lagerachse 16a angeordnet. Das erste Fixierelement 18a ist dazu vorgesehen, die Lagerachse 16a und/oder das Griffelement 14a in einem Nahbereich der ersten Anschlagseite 36a zu fixieren. Ein zweites Fixierelement 20a der Fixierelemente 18a, 20a ist bezüglich der Haupterstreckungsrichtung der Lagerachse 16a an einer zweiten Seite der Lagerachse 16a angeordnet. Das zweite Fixierelement 20a ist dazu vorgesehen, die Lagerachse 16a und/oder das Griffelement 14a in einem Nahbereich der zweiten Anschlagseite 38a zu fixieren. Die Fixierelemente 18a, 20a sind dazu vorgesehen, die Lagerachse 16a und/oder das Griffelement 14a in horizontal gegenüberliegenden Verschiebepositionen zu fixieren.For fixing and / or locking the bearing shaft 16a and thus of the grip element 14a in a predetermined and / or predeterminable displacement position, the bearing shaft 16a further comprises a plurality of fixing elements 18a, 20a. In the present case, the bearing axis 16a has two fixing elements 18a, 20a. The fixing elements 18a, 20a are at least substantially identical to each other. The fixing elements 18a, 20a are designed as latching elements. In the present case, the fixing elements 18a, 20a are designed as latching hooks. The fixing elements 18a, 20a are arranged at least substantially in opposite side regions of the bearing axis 16a with respect to the main extension direction of the bearing axis 16a. A first fixing element 18a of the fixing elements 18a, 20a is arranged with respect to the main extension direction of the bearing axis 16a on a first side of the bearing axis 16a. The first fixing element 18a is provided to fix the bearing axis 16a and / or the grip element 14a in a vicinity of the first stop side 36a. A second fixing element 20a of the fixing elements 18a, 20a is arranged with respect to the main extension direction of the bearing axis 16a on a second side of the bearing axis 16a. The second fixing element 20a is provided to fix the bearing shaft 16a and / or the grip element 14a in a vicinity of the second abutment side 38a. The fixing elements 18a, 20a are provided to fix the bearing axis 16a and / or the grip element 14a in horizontally opposite displacement positions.

Dazu weist das Geräteverschlusselement 10a zumindest ein weiteres Fixierelement 22a auf. Im vorliegenden Fall weist das Geräteverschlusselement 10a zumindest ein zu dem ersten Fixierelement 18a korrespondierendes erstes weiteres Fixierelement 22a und zumindest ein zu dem zweiten Fixierelement 20a korrespondierendes zweites weiteres Fixierelement (nicht dargestellt) auf (vgl. Figuren 6 und 7). Die weiteren Fixierelemente 22a sind zueinander zumindest im Wesentlichen identisch ausgebildet. Die weiteren Fixierelemente 22a sind als Rastelemente ausgebildet. Im vorliegenden Fall sind die weiteren Fixierelemente 22a als Raststege ausgebildet. Die weiteren Fixierelemente 22a sind relativ zu dem Geräteverschlusselement 10a unbeweglich. Das erste weitere Fixierelement 22a ist dabei in einem Nahbereich der ersten Anschlagseite 36a angeordnet. Das zweite weitere Fixierelement ist in einem Nahbereich der zweiten Anschlagseite 38a angeordnet. Das erste weitere Fixierelement 22a ist dazu vorgesehen, in zumindest einem ersten Betriebszustand, insbesondere in einer fixierten Verschiebeposition und/oder einer Arretierposition, mit dem ersten Fixierelement 18a zu verrasten (vgl. Figur 7). Das zweite weitere Fixierelement ist dazu vorgesehen, in zumindest einem zweiten Betriebszustand mit dem zweiten Fixierelement 20a zu verrasten. In der fixierten Verschiebeposition und/oder der Arretierposition sind die Fixierelemente 18a, 20a dabei frei drehbar um die von der Lagerachse 16a definierte Drehachse 26a, wodurch insbesondere eine vorteilhaft einfache Drehbewegung des Griffelements 14a um die Drehachse 26a erreicht werden kann.For this purpose, the device closure element 10a has at least one further fixing element 22a. In the present case, the device closure element 10a has at least one first further fixing element 22a corresponding to the first fixing element 18a and at least one second further fixing element (not shown) corresponding to the second fixing element 20a (cf. FIGS. 6 and 7 ). The further fixing elements 22a are at least substantially identical to each other. The further fixing elements 22a are designed as latching elements. In the present case, the further fixing elements 22a are designed as latching webs. The further fixing elements 22a are immovable relative to the device closure element 10a. The first further fixing element 22a is in a vicinity of the first stop side 36a arranged. The second further fixing element is arranged in a vicinity of the second stop side 38a. The first further fixing element 22a is provided to latch in at least one first operating state, in particular in a fixed displacement position and / or a locking position, with the first fixing element 18a (cf. FIG. 7 ). The second further fixing element is provided to latch in at least one second operating state with the second fixing element 20a. In the fixed displacement position and / or the locking position, the fixing elements 18a, 20a are freely rotatable about the axis of rotation 26a defined by the bearing axis 16a, whereby in particular an advantageously simple rotational movement of the grip element 14a about the axis of rotation 26a can be achieved.

Die Lagerachse 16a ist ferner dazu vorgesehen, das Griffelement 14a derart zu lagern, dass das Griffelement 14a demontagefrei von einer ersten fixierten Verschiebeposition an der ersten Anschlagseite 36a in eine zweite fixierte Verschiebeposition an der zweiten Anschlagseite 38a verschiebbar ist. Dabei sind die Fixierelemente 18a, 20a dazu vorgesehen, in der wenigstens einen Verschiebeposition automatisch und/oder selbsttätig einzurasten. Dazu weisen die Fixierelemente 18a, 20a und/oder die weiteren Fixierelemente 20a jeweils zumindest eine, insbesondere rampenartige, Anlaufschräge auf, welche insbesondere dazu vorgesehen ist, eine Verrastung zu vereinfachen. Zudem sind die Fixierelemente 18a, 20a selbstauslösend ausgebildet. Dazu weisen die Fixierelemente 18a, 20a und/oder die weiteren Fixierelemente 20a jeweils zumindest eine, insbesondere der Anlaufschräge horizontal gegenüberliegend angeordnete, insbesondere rampenartige, weitere Anlaufschräge auf, welche insbesondere dazu vorgesehen ist, ein Lösen der Verrastung zu vereinfachen. Dabei löst sich das Griffelement 14a bei Überschreiten einer auf das Griffelement 14a ausgeübten Grenzzugkraft in Richtung der Drehachse 26a selbststätig aus der fixierten Verschiebeposition.The bearing axle 16a is further provided for supporting the grip element 14a such that the grip element 14a is displaceable disassembly-free from a first fixed displacement position on the first stop side 36a to a second fixed displacement position on the second stop side 38a. In this case, the fixing elements 18a, 20a are provided to engage automatically and / or automatically in the at least one displacement position. For this purpose, the fixing elements 18a, 20a and / or the further fixing elements 20a each have at least one, in particular ramp-like, starting bevel, which is in particular provided to simplify a latching. In addition, the fixing elements 18a, 20a are self-releasing. For this purpose, the fixing elements 18a, 20a and / or the further fixing elements 20a each at least one, in particular the run-on slope horizontally oppositely arranged, in particular ramp-like, further run-on slope, which is particularly intended to facilitate a release of the catch. In this case, when a limit tensile force exerted on the grip element 14a is exceeded, the grip element 14a automatically releases in the direction of the rotation axis 26a from the fixed displacement position.

Das Griffelement 14a und ein Öffnungsmechanismus des Geräteverschlusselements 10a sind im vorliegenden Fall derart ausgestaltet, dass sich die Anschlagseite 36a, 38a und/oder die Schwenkachse 32a, 34a des Geräteverschlusselements 10a abhängig von einer Positionierung des Griffelements 14a ändert. Befindet sich das Griffelement 14a dabei in der fixierten Verschiebeposition auf der ersten Anschlagseite 36a, so steht das Griffelement 14a derart mit dem Öffnungsmechanismus in Wirkverbindung, dass eine Schwenkachse des Geräteverschlusselements 10a der Schwenkachse 34a entspricht. Befindet sich das Griffelement 14a in der fixierten Verschiebeposition auf der zweiten Anschlagseite 38a, so steht das Griffelement 14a derart mit dem Öffnungsmechanismus in Wirkverbindung, dass eine Schwenkachse des Geräteverschlusselements 10a der Schwenkachse 32a entspricht. Die aktuell verwendete Schwenkachse 32a, 34a des Geräteverschlusselements 10a und das fixierte Griffelement 14a sind somit stets auf gegenüberliegenden Seiten, insbesondere in Richtung der Drehachse 26a betrachtet, angeordnet. Hierdurch kann auf einfache Art und Weise ein, insbesondere demontagefreier, Anschlagwechsel des Geräteverschlusselements 10a ohne zusätzlichen Montageaufwand erreicht werden.The grip element 14a and an opening mechanism of the device closure element 10a are designed in the present case such that the stop side 36a, 38a and / or the pivot axis 32a, 34a of the device closure element 10a changes depending on a positioning of the grip element 14a. If the grip element 14a is located in the fixed displacement position on the first stop side 36a, then the grip element 14a is in operative connection with the opening mechanism such that a Swivel axis of the device closure element 10a of the pivot axis 34a corresponds. If the grip element 14a is in the fixed displacement position on the second stop side 38a, then the grip element 14a is in operative connection with the opening mechanism such that a pivot axis of the device closure element 10a corresponds to the pivot axis 32a. The currently used pivot axis 32a, 34a of the device closure element 10a and the fixed grip element 14a are thus always viewed on opposite sides, in particular in the direction of the rotation axis 26a. As a result, in a simple manner, in particular disassembly-free, stop change of the device closure element 10a can be achieved without additional installation effort.

Alternativ ist denkbar, dass eine Lagerachse mehrere Fixierelemente, insbesondere zumindest zwei, zumindest drei und/oder zumindest vier Fixierelement, insbesondere an einer ersten Seite und/oder einer zweiten Seite der Lagerachse aufweist. Zudem ist denkbar, auf ein zweites Fixierelement und/oder ein zweites weiteres Fixierelement zu verzichten. In diesem Fall könnte ein Geräteverschlusselement lediglich einseitig anschlagbar ausgebildet sein und/oder ein Fixierelement lediglich dazu vorgesehen sein, eine Montage und/oder eine Demontage des Geräteverschlusselements zu vereinfachen. Auch ist denkbar, ein Griffelement mittels eines Fixierelements, insbesondere einer Lagerachse, in einem mittleren Bereich eines Geräteverschlusselements zu fixieren, sodass das Griffelement insbesondere zumindest im Wesentlichen frei platzierbar ist, wodurch vorteilhaft eine hohe Bedienerfreundlichkeit erreicht werden kann.Alternatively, it is conceivable that a bearing axle has a plurality of fixing elements, in particular at least two, at least three and / or at least four fixing elements, in particular on a first side and / or a second side of the bearing axis. In addition, it is conceivable to dispense with a second fixing element and / or a second further fixing element. In this case, a device closure element could be designed to be stopable on only one side and / or a fixing element merely intended to simplify assembly and / or disassembly of the device closure element. It is also conceivable to fix a gripping element by means of a fixing element, in particular a bearing axis, in a central region of a device closure element, so that the gripping element is at least substantially freely placeable, whereby advantageously a high level of user-friendliness can be achieved.

In der Figur 8 ist ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung gezeigt. Die nachfolgende Beschreibung und die Zeichnung beschränken sich im Wesentlichen auf die Unterschiede zwischen den Ausführungsbeispielen, wobei bezüglich gleich bezeichneter Bauteile, insbesondere in Bezug auf Bauteile mit gleichen Bezugszeichen, grundsätzlich auch auf die Zeichnung und/oder die Beschreibung des anderen Ausführungsbeispiels, insbesondere der Figuren 1 bis 7, verwiesen werden kann. Zur Unterscheidung der Ausführungsbeispiele ist der Buchstabe a den Bezugszeichen des Ausführungsbeispiels in den Figuren 1 bis 7 nachgestellt. In dem Ausführungsbeispiel der Figur 8 ist der Buchstabe a durch den Buchstaben b ersetzt.In the FIG. 8 a further embodiment of the invention is shown. The following description and the drawings are essentially limited to the differences between the exemplary embodiments, with respect to identically named components, in particular with regard to components having the same reference numerals, in principle also to the drawing and / or the description of the other embodiment, in particular FIGS. 1 to 7 , can be referenced. To distinguish the embodiments of the letter a is the reference numerals of the embodiment in the FIGS. 1 to 7 readjusted. In the embodiment of FIG. 8 the letter a is replaced by the letter b.

Das weitere Ausführungsbeispiel der Figur 8 unterscheidet sich von dem vorherigen Ausführungsbeispiel zumindest im Wesentlichen durch eine Anordnung einer Lagerachse 16b einer Haushaltsgerätevorrichtung.The further embodiment of the FIG. 8 differs from the previous embodiment, at least substantially by an arrangement of a bearing axis 16b of a household appliance device.

Im vorliegenden Fall ist die Lagerachse 16b und ein Geräteverschlusselement 10b einstückig ausgebildet. Demnach ist die Lagerachse 16b axial fest mit dem Geräteverschlusselement 10b verbunden. Eine Haupterstreckungslänge der Lagerachse 16b ist zumindest im Wesentlichen identisch zu einer Haupterstreckungslänge des Geräteverschlusselements 10b. Zudem entspricht eine Haupterstreckungslänge eines Griffelements 14b zwischen einem Viertel und einer Hälfe einer gesamten Haupterstreckungslänge der Lagerachse 16b und/oder des Geräteverschlusselements 10b. In einem montierten Zustand ist das Griffelement 14b mit der Lagerachse 16b verbunden. Das Griffelement 14b ist lösbar mit der Lagerachse 16b verbunden. Das Griffelement 14b ist dabei mittels einer Rastverbindung mit der Lagerachse 16b verbunden. Dazu umfasst das Griffelement 14b mehrere in horizontaler Richtung und/oder in Haupterstreckungsrichtung des Griffelements 14b versetzt angeordnete Griffrastelemente 40b, im vorliegenden Fall insbesondere Rasthaken und/oder Rastösen, welche insbesondere dazu vorgesehen sind, mit der Lagerachse 16b zu verrasten. Die Rastverbindung ist dabei derart ausgebildet, dass das Griffelement 14b relativ zu der Lagerachse 16b und/oder dem Geräteverschlusselement 10b beweglich ist. Im vorliegenden Fall ist das Griffelement 14b in Richtung einer Drehachse 26b und somit insbesondere relativ zu dem Geräteverschlusselement 10b verschiebbar.In the present case, the bearing axis 16b and a device closure element 10b is integrally formed. Accordingly, the bearing axis 16b is axially fixedly connected to the device closure element 10b. A main extension length of the bearing shaft 16b is at least substantially identical to a main extension length of the device shutter member 10b. In addition, a main extension length of a handle member 14b corresponds to between a quarter and a half of a total main extension length of the bearing shaft 16b and / or the device shutter member 10b. In an assembled state, the grip element 14b is connected to the bearing axis 16b. The grip element 14b is detachably connected to the bearing shaft 16b. The grip element 14b is connected by means of a latching connection with the bearing axis 16b. For this purpose, the gripping element 14b comprises a plurality of gripping catch elements 40b arranged offset in the horizontal direction and / or in the main extension direction of the gripping element 14b, in the present case in particular latching hooks and / or detent eyelets, which are in particular provided for latching to the bearing axis 16b. The latching connection is designed such that the grip element 14b is movable relative to the bearing axis 16b and / or the device closure element 10b. In the present case, the grip element 14b is displaceable in the direction of an axis of rotation 26b and thus in particular relative to the device closure element 10b.

Ferner weist die Lagerachse 16b zwei Fixierelemente 18b auf. Ein erstes Fixierelement 18b und ein zweites Fixierelement (nicht dargestellt) sind dabei als Rastkanten ausgebildet. Die Fixierelemente 18b sind dabei relativ zu dem Geräteverschlusselement 10b unbeweglich. Zudem weist das Griffelement 14b zumindest ein weiteres Fixierelement 22b auf. Im vorliegenden Fall weist das Griffelement 14b zumindest ein zu dem ersten Fixierelement 18b korrespondierendes erstes weiteres Fixierelement 22b und zumindest ein zu dem zweiten Fixierelement korrespondierendes zweites weiteres Fixierelement (nicht dargestellt) auf. Die weiteren Fixierelemente 22b sind als Rastelemente, insbesondere Rasthaken, ausgebildet. In einer fixierten Verschiebeposition und/oder einer Arretierposition sind die weiteren Fixierelemente 22b dabei frei drehbar um die von der Lagerachse 16b definierte Drehachse 26b, wodurch insbesondere eine vorteilhaft einfache Drehbewegung des Griffelements 14b um die Drehachse 26b erreicht werden kann. Alternativ ist denkbar, eine Lagerachse und ein Geräteverschlusselement mehrteilig auszubilden und beispielsweise mittels einer formschlüssigen, einer kraftschlüssigen und/oder einer stoffschlüssigen Verbindung miteinander zu verbinden.Furthermore, the bearing axle 16b has two fixing elements 18b. A first fixing element 18b and a second fixing element (not shown) are formed as latching edges. The fixing elements 18b are immovable relative to the device closure element 10b. In addition, the grip element 14b has at least one further fixing element 22b. In the present case, the grip element 14b has at least one first further fixing element 22b which corresponds to the first fixing element 18b and at least one second further fixing element (not shown) corresponding to the second fixing element. The further fixing elements 22b are designed as latching elements, in particular latching hooks. In a fixed displacement position and / or a locking position, the further fixing elements 22b are freely rotatable about the axis of rotation 26b defined by the bearing axis 16b, whereby, in particular, a advantageous simple rotational movement of the handle member 14b about the axis of rotation 26b can be achieved. Alternatively, it is conceivable to form a bearing axle and a device closure element in several parts and to connect to each other, for example, by means of a positive, a non-positive and / or a material connection.
