Description

One aspect of the invention relates to a shelf for a household refrigerator, with a shelf that has a first plate part and a separate second plate part, which is arranged in a position of use in the width direction of the shelf next to the first plate part to form the shelf. The second plate part can be removed non-destructively to reduce the size of the storage plate.

Such a shelf is from the WO 2015/007607 A1 known. There two plate parts in the state of use, in which stored goods can be placed on the plate parts, are arranged next to one another without overlapping and in the same position to one another in the height direction and in the depth direction. The storage shelf has only one rear frame part on which the two plate parts are held. A handle part that can be displaced in the width direction is arranged on the front.

From the WO 2008/122525 A2 a refrigerated goods rack is known. The storage rack has a frame that is closed all the way round. Two separate plate parts are arranged on this frame. One of the plate parts can be displaced on the frame in the width direction and pushed over the other plate part. In the state of use, both plate parts are arranged side by side, viewed in the width direction.

Furthermore, from the EP 2 749 829 A2 a shelf is known in which two separate plate parts are not arranged next to each other, but only one behind the other. The plate parts are connected to a pivoting device so that the front plate part can be pivoted onto the rear plate part.

It is the object of the present invention to provide a storage shelf in which plate parts that can be placed next to one another in the width direction are arranged more stably in the position of use and yet a simple and complete removal of a part of the plate from the position of use from the support frame is made possible.

This object is achieved by a storage shelf which has the features according to claim 1.

One aspect of the invention relates to a shelf for a household refrigerator, with a shelf that has a first plate part and a separate second plate part, which is arranged in a position of use in the width direction of the shelf next to the first plate part to form the contiguous shelf or a shelf . The second plate part can be removed non-destructively to reduce the size of the storage plate. The storage shelf has a support frame which only partially encloses the storage panel at the edge. The support frame is only designed around the shelf on three sides. The support frame has a rear frame part and two opposite side frame parts. As a result, the plate parts can be kept stable in the position of use. Nevertheless, a plate part can simply be completely removed from the support frame from its position of use, since it is easily accessible and manageable via the side on which no support frame is arranged. In particular, the support frame is designed to be open at the front. As a result, a plate part can simply be completely removed from the front. The storage shelf can also be referred to as a shelf.

The rear frame part and the side frame parts are preferably separate components from one another. They are detachably connected to one another, in particular by plug connections and screw connections. As a result, the individual components of the support frame can be manufactured more easily. Nevertheless, they are coupled mechanically stable and resilient. Especially when two different types of mechanical connection are formed, a high load-bearing capacity of the only three-sided support frame is achieved and a high torsional stiffness is generated.

An upper groove receptacle is preferably formed in the rear frame part. A rear edge of the first plate part is inserted into this upper groove receptacle. In addition to or instead of this, it can have at least one lateral frame part an upwardly open support platform on which the first plate part rests. This enables the plate part to be supported securely and yet does not restrict the upper support surface. Furthermore, the first plate part is held securely towards the rear, in particular in several spatial directions.

A side frame part preferably has a side stop against which a side edge of a plate part rests. As a result, a filigree side contour or a side web is created, which specifies an end position of the plate part in the width direction. In particular, the side stop is only a vertically oriented low wall. In particular, the height of the side stop is less than or equal to the height or thickness of the plate part. Undesired overhangs upwards as well as restrictions on the supporting surface of the plate part can thereby be avoided.

The rear frame part and a side frame part preferably have a stowage unit for the storage shelf. In particular, the stowage unit is integrated into the support frame or is designed in one piece with it. When not in use, the second plate part can be stowed on or in the stowage unit under the first plate part on the storage shelf itself. As a result, this unneeded plate part remains on the storage shelf and does not have to be stowed elsewhere. In particular, this also enables space-saving stowage.

In particular, the rear frame part has an integrated receiving groove in the stowage unit and the side frame part has an integrated receiving groove in the stowage unit. This creates an embodiment with which the second plate part is received at two different edges or side edges in the non-use position or in the non-use state. A safe stowage is achieved. Nevertheless, the stowage unit is very compact and only designed on the frame side.

The rear frame part preferably has a separating web oriented in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the rear frame part. The separating web separates, in particular, an upper groove receptacle of the rear frame part from a receptacle groove formed underneath in the height direction of a stowage unit of the storage shelf. This receiving groove, which is separated for receiving the groove, is formed in the rear frame part. The separation web increases the stability of the rear frame part, despite the design with two grooves. In addition, this separating web also acts as a limitation for the two grooves. The separating web is therefore multifunctional and integrated into the rear frame part or formed in one piece with it.

An upper wall of the separating web preferably forms a lower delimiting wall of the groove receptacle in the depth direction of the storage shelf. As a result, this groove receptacle is stably limited towards the bottom and has a high load-bearing capacity. In particular, the lower delimitation wall, viewed in the depth direction, is larger than an upper delimitation wall of the groove receptacle. This enables a plate part to be easily inserted into the groove receptacle. Due to the longer lower boundary wall, the plate part can first be placed on top of it and then pushed back into the groove receptacle. Even in the inserted end state, the plate part then rests on the lower boundary wall over a larger area. In particular, in addition to or instead of this, a lower wall of the separating web can form an upper delimiting wall of the receiving groove. This lower wall of the separating web is larger, viewed in the depth direction, than a lower delimiting wall of the receiving groove formed below it. As a result, the second plate part is more covered and protected by this lower wall in the non-use position.

The lower wall of the separating web preferably has a straight rear section and a second, front section which rises obliquely upwards and forwards. The two sections are directly adjacent to one another when viewed in depth. As a result of this configuration, the inlet opening, which is open to the front, of the receiving groove of the storage unit is widened in the vertical direction. This simplifies insertion and removal of the second plate part.

The upper wall of the separating web preferably has, at least in the section in which the removable second plate part can be attached, a groove-like surface offset running in the width direction of the storage shelf. This surface offset is formed, viewed in the depth direction of the storage shelf, at a point at which the upper boundary wall of the groove receptacle has its front edge. As a result of this surface offset, the groove receptacle is widened in the height direction at its inlet opening. This enables a plate part, in particular the second plate part, to be inserted and removed more easily. The surface offset is designed in particular as a step, onto which a ramp, inclined obliquely downwards and backwards, opens from the front.

The separating web is preferably designed as a hollow profile. As a result, it is designed to be weight-reduced. Furthermore, the cavity can be used to accommodate further elements. In particular, at least one screw dome is formed in the cavity, at least for screwing to another component. In particular, it can be provided that the rear frame part is screwed to the side frame parts. The at least one screw dome is preferably designed in one piece with the separating web. It is thus designed to be integrated into the separating web.

A front end region of an upper delimiting wall of the groove receptacle preferably has an inclined inner wall so that the vertical clear width of the groove receptacle is increased. This makes it easier to insert and remove a plate part. In particular, this is only designed for that lateral frame part on which the second plate part is arranged in its position of use.

The groove receptacle preferably has a depth measured in the depth direction over the entire width of the second plate part, which is greater than a distance between a pull-out stop or a stop edge and a front edge of an edge protection element, measured in the depth direction. The edge protection element is arranged on a rear edge of the second plate part. In particular, it has a profile that is U-shaped in cross section. A lower U-leg in the vertical direction has a front edge. This particularly represents the edge to which the distance to the pull-out stop is measured. The distance is measured in the end position of the second plate part on the support frame and in the position of use of the second plate part. The extension stop is formed on the side frame part to which the second plate part is attached in the position of use. This advantageous embodiment prevents the second plate part from tipping down when it is pulled forward from the end position mentioned. So it strikes with the front edge on the pull-out stop before the edge protection element and / or the rear edge of the second plate part can be completely pulled out of the groove receptacle.

The storage shelf preferably has a securing part which is arranged on a front edge of the second plate part, in particular is arranged in a stationary manner. This means in particular that the securing part can neither be displaced in the depth direction nor in the width direction relative to the second plate part. As a result, it is permanently positioned on it in a stable position and precisely positioned. The securing part projects beyond the second plate part in the width direction. In the position of use of the two plate parts, a section of the securing part engages around a front edge of the first plate part. The two plate parts are kept at the same height on the front. In particular, that section of the securing part which is provided for engaging around the front edge of the first plate part is formed as a hollow channel. The front edge of the first plate part dips into this when the second plate part is in the position of use. However, this section has neither a clamping nor clamping of the front edge. It is only designed as a shell. The second front edge can be led out of this section without overcoming a clamping force or clamping force acting in the depth direction. The securing part can also be referred to as a height holding element for the plate parts in the position of use.

Preferably, an overlap measured in the depth direction between the securing part and the front edge is smaller than the above-mentioned depth of the groove receptacle. This applies in the end position of the second plate part on the support frame and in the position of use. This advantageous embodiment enables a security concept. This also ensures that when the second plate part is removed, the securing part is decoupled from the front edge of the first plate part when the second plate part is pulled forward. The second plate part can therefore be pulled forward so far in the depth direction that there is no longer any overlapping. In this state, the front edge of the edge protection element is then also hit against the pull-out stop on the side frame part. In this intermediate state, the second plate part can then be lifted upwards at the front edge or pivoted upwards. This lifting can then take place in a simple manner through the advantageously designed, widened inlet opening of the groove receptacle. The second plate part can then be completely removed from the groove receptacle in this tilted position and pulled out obliquely upwards and forwards.

"Top", "bottom", "front", "back", "horizontal", "vertical", "depth direction", "width direction", "height direction" etc. are the positions given when the storage shelf is used and arranged as intended and orientations indicated.

Identical or functionally identical elements are provided with the same reference symbols in the figures.

In Fig. 1 a household refrigerator 1 is shown in a perspective view. The household refrigerator 1 is designed for storing and preserving food. The household refrigerator 1 has a housing 2. In the housing 2, at least one receiving space 3 for food is formed. The receiving space 3 can be a refrigerator or a freezer.

The household refrigerator 1 can be a refrigerator or a freezer or a combined refrigerator-freezer. The household refrigerator 1 also has a door 4. The door 4 is arranged pivotably on the housing 2. It is arranged to close the receiving space 3 at the front. The receiving space 3 is delimited by the walls of an inner container 5 of the domestic refrigerator 1. In the example, storage shelves are arranged in the receiving space 3. The removable shelves can also be referred to as shelves. In this context, an exemplary embodiment of a storage shelf 6 is shown. In this exemplary embodiment, a storage plate is formed as a cohesive surface from two separate plate parts 7, 8. Both plate parts are arranged in the position of use. In this context, they are arranged side by side in the width direction (x direction) of the storage shelf 6. The width direction is also that of the household refrigerator 1. In the height direction (y-direction), the two plate parts are arranged at the same height. The height direction corresponds to that of the shelf 6 and is also the same as the height direction of the household refrigerator 1. In the depth direction (z-direction), the two plate parts 7, 8 are also arranged at the same depth to one another in their position of use. The depth direction of the storage shelf 6 also corresponds to the depth direction of the domestic refrigeration appliance 1.

In Fig. 1 In addition, a corresponding storage shelf 6 is shown as an example by only showing the position of use of the first plate part 7. The second plate part 8 is arranged in the vertical direction below the first plate part 7 and is positioned in a non-use position. Nevertheless, it is also arranged or stowed remaining on the storage shelf 6 itself in this non-use position.

In Fig. 2 a section of the household refrigerator 1 is shown in an enlarged illustration. Several shelves or storage shelves 6 are also arranged here by way of example. A storage shelf 6 is shown here with two plate parts 7 and 8 in a position of use. The first plate part 7 and the second plate part 8 are arranged next to one another and without overlapping one another in such a way that they form a common, coherent horizontal and flat storage plate 9. As can be seen, objects, in particular stored goods, can be placed on the storage shelves 6. In the complete position of use of the entire shelf 9 as shown in FIG Fig. 2 7 and 8 objects can be placed on both plate parts.

In Fig. 3 the storage shelf 6 is shown in an arrangement in which only the first plate part 7 is arranged in the position of use. The second plate part 8 is arranged in the non-use position. To this end, viewed in the vertical direction, it is arranged below the first plate part 7 and in the width direction at the same latitude and / or in the depth direction at the same depth as this first plate part 7. In particular, this second plate part 8 is stowed in the non-use position on a support frame 10 of the storage shelf 6. In this embodiment, the volume space that has become free upwards in the area of the second plate part 8 can be used to set up larger objects such as bottles below the storage shelf 6, which then protrude further upwards in the height direction than the storage shelf 6. These objects then extend between the two stacked plate parts 7 and 8 and the support frame 10 upwards.

In Fig. 4 an embodiment of a storage shelf 6 is shown in a perspective view. This storage shelf 6 has the first plate part 7 and the second plate part 8, which is separate therefrom. The first plate part 7 is a preferably square plate. The second plate part 8 is preferably a square plate. In particular, the two plate parts 7 and 8 are of the same size. The first plate part 7 and / or the second plate part 8 can be formed from an at least partially transparent material. It can be plastic plates or glass plates.

In particular, the storage shelf 6 has a support frame 10 that is separate from the two separate plate parts 7 and 8. This support frame 10 is U-shaped. It engages around the tray 9 only on three sides. The support frame 10 is thus only a three-sided frame. As shown in Fig. 4 As can be seen, the support frame 10 has a first lateral frame part 11, a rear frame part 12 and a second lateral frame part 13. At least on the front side, the shelf 9 is not bordered by this support frame 10. The shelf 9 is exposed to the front.

It can be provided that the three-sided support frame 10 is formed in one piece. This means that it is also made in one piece.

In an advantageous embodiment it is provided that the three frame parts 11, 12 and 13 are mutually separate components. They can be connected to one another by a respective connection, in particular a non-destructive detachable connection. In particular, it can be provided that the first frame part 11 is connected to one end of the rear frame part 12 at its rear end in the depth direction (z-direction). In particular, a plug connection and / or a screw connection can be provided here. The same can be provided in a rear corner area of the storage shelf 6 between the second lateral frame part 13 and the rear frame part 12.

In an advantageous embodiment, it is provided that the rear frame part 12 is inserted into the first lateral frame part 11. This can also be provided for the connection between the rear frame part 12 and the second lateral frame part 13. This results in overlapping connections between the frame parts 11, 12, 13 in the rear corner areas 14 and 15 in the width direction. In particular, it is provided that an end plate 16 of the first frame part 11 arranged only in the corner area 14 covers the rear frame part 12 from above in areas. The same can be provided with a cover plate 17 between the second lateral frame part 13 and the rear frame part 12. The cover plate 17 is only formed in the corner area 15.

In Fig. 4 the shelf 9 is shown in a complete position of use. This means that both plate parts 7 and 8 are arranged next to one another in the width direction, in particular without overlapping. In the depth direction and in the height direction, they are each positioned in the same position, so that a contiguous square storage plate 9 is formed. In particular, the storage shelf 6 is also square.

In an advantageous embodiment it is provided that the first plate part 7 has a separate edge protection element 19 on a front edge 18. This is designed in particular as a U-profile and / or in one piece. It can also be provided that a corresponding edge protection element 21 is arranged on a front edge 20 of the second plate part 8.

The edge protection elements 19 and 21 can be rails separate from the plate parts 7 and 8. For example, they are attached or glued on.

In an advantageous embodiment it is provided that the first plate part 7 on its rear edge 22 opposite the front edge 18 ( Figure 7b ) has a separate edge protection element 23. The edge protection element 23 can also be U-shaped here, in particular in cross section. In particular, it can also be provided that the second plate part 8 at its rear end 24 ( Fig. 5 ) has a separate edge protection element 25. This edge protection element 25 can be U-shaped.

In an advantageous embodiment, the storage shelf 6 also has a connecting part or a securing part 26 on the front and separate from the plate parts 7, 8 and the support frame 10. This securing part 26 is designed as a rail or bar. It engages around the second plate part 8 on the front. In particular, it is arranged on this second plate part 8, secured against displacement in the width direction. In particular, it is fixedly arranged thereon. For example, a clamp connection or an adhesive connection or the like can be provided in this context. In particular, the securing part 26 also engages around the edge protection element 21.

In the width direction, the securing part 26 protrudes laterally over the width of the second plate part 8 at its corner region. In the in Fig. 4 The shown position of use of the entire shelf 9, this securing part 26 thus also projects beyond a portion of the front edge 18 of the first plate part 7. In particular, it also encompasses a preferably existing front edge protection 19 at the front. However, this securing part 26 is not permanently connected to the second plate part 7. It serves only as a protective cover or protective cap on the front for the first plate part 7. In particular, there is no position-securing connection with the first plate part 7 in the width direction and in the depth direction. Due to the fixed arrangement of the securing part 26 on the second plate part 8, as a result of which a positionally fixed arrangement is formed thereon in the depth direction, such is not formed with the first plate part 7. Due to the fixed positioning in the depth direction on the second plate part 8, in this arrangement according to FIG Fig. 4 also the first Plate part 7 is held in the level position in the height direction to the second plate part 8. The securing part 26 thus represents a position or level holding part on the front side in this complete position of use of the storage plate 9. An undesired offset in the height direction of these two plate parts 7 and 8 is thereby prevented.

As in Fig. 4 As can be seen, the two lateral frame parts 11 and 13 do not extend over the entire depth of the plate parts 7 and 8. They end set back in relation to the front edges or front edges 18 and 20.

In an advantageous embodiment it is provided that the storage shelf 6 has a storage unit 27. The stowage unit 27 is in particular integrated into the first lateral frame part 11 and / or the rear frame part 12 and is thus formed in one piece therewith. In particular, the stowage unit 27 has a receiving groove 28 in the first lateral frame part 11. With the first lateral frame part 11, the first plate part 7 is held laterally. The second plate part 8 is thus not held in the position of use.

This receiving groove 28 is formed below a support platform 29 of the first frame part 11, viewed in the vertical direction. This support platform 29 is open at the top. As a result, this first plate part 7 can be placed from above. At the top, it is not covered laterally by the first frame part 11.

The first frame part 11 also has a lateral stop web 30. The stop web 30 rises from the support platform 29 upwards. This stop web 30 forms a position limit or a displacement stop for the first plate part 7 in the width direction.

In an advantageous embodiment, the stowage unit 27 also has a further receiving groove 31 in the rear frame part 12. In the Fig. 5 The receiving groove 31 shown is open towards the front. The second plate part 8 can thus be pushed into the receiving groove 28 and / or the receiving groove 31 in the position of use and is thus arranged stowed below the first plate part 7.

In an advantageous embodiment, the storage shelf 6 has a central web 32 ( Fig. 4 ) on. Preferably, however, the support frame 10 can also be designed solely without the central web 32 and hold the plate parts 7, 8 in a stable manner, due to the above-mentioned explanations and also the explanations given below. The central web 32 is preferably a separate part, in particular from the support frame 10. The central web 32 receives the first plate part 7 on the edge region opposite the first frame part 11. The central web 32 extends in the depth direction. In an advantageous embodiment, it is arranged directly on the rear frame part 12. The central web 32 can be a separate component from the rear frame part 12. It can be connected to the rear frame part 12 by a plug connection and / or a screw connection. It can be provided that the central web 32, viewed in the depth direction, is shorter than the two lateral frame parts 11 and 13. It can also be provided that the central web 32 is longer. The central web 32 can extend over the entire length of the two plate parts 7 and 8, measured in the depth direction. The central web 32 is formed as a holder or support part for the first plate part 7. In the position of use of the second plate part 8, this is also arranged so as to be seated on this central web 32. In the non-use position of the second plate part 8, the central web 32 also serves in an advantageous embodiment as a sub-component of the stowage unit 27. In an advantageous manner, the central web 32 has an integrated receiving groove 33 for this purpose. In the non-use position, the second plate part 8 can be pushed into this and held therein.

In an advantageous embodiment, it can thus be provided that the stowage unit 27 is formed by a three-sided, in particular U-shaped, receiving groove. This can be formed by the three separate receiving grooves 28, 31 and 33.

As in Fig. 4 As can be seen, the central web 32 has a support platform 34. This support platform 34 is designed to be open at the top. Only the second plate part 8 rests on this support platform 34 from above when it is arranged in its position of use. In addition, the central web 34 has an integrated holding part 35. This preferably has a slot or a groove 36. This first plate part 7 dips into this slot or into this groove 36 at the edge. This is in Fig. 4 shown. As can be seen, this engagement part 35 with the groove 36 in FIG As viewed in the height direction, it is arranged above the preferably formed receiving groove 33.

The first plate part 7 is installed in a stationary manner on the carrier frame 10 and the central web 32.

In Fig. 5 the storage shelf 6 is shown in a perspective view, the second plate part 8 being removed from its position of use. In Fig. 5 the second lateral frame part 13 is shown in a sectional view (sectional plane is the yz plane). As shown in the illustrations Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 As can be seen, the second frame part 13 has a recess 37a which is open at the bottom. A receiving cam, for example cams 83, 84 ( Fig. 18 ), which is arranged on a side wall of the inner container 5. In addition or instead of this, a further recess 38 can be formed into which a further cam, for example cam 83 or 84 ( Fig. 18 ), can engage on a vertical side wall of the inner container 5. This is the case when the storage shelf 6 is arranged in the receiving space 3 and is held on, in particular, vertical side walls of the inner container 5. The first frame part 11 can also be designed accordingly.

In particular, the above-mentioned receiving groove 31 in the rear frame part 12 is preferably formed at least over the length of the first plate part 7. It can be formed over the entire length of the rear frame part 12. This is in Fig. 5 shown. As shown in the illustrations Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 can be seen, the two side frame parts 11 and 13 are designed in their interior as a framework structure. As a result, they are, on the one hand, designed with a low weight and, on the other hand, designed with high rigidity.

In particular, it is provided that the second lateral frame part 13 does not have any components for the stowage unit 27. In particular, it therefore has no additional receiving groove, as is formed by the receiving groove 28.

To accommodate the first plate part 7 on the rear frame part 12, a groove receptacle 38 is preferably formed, as shown in FIG Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 is shown. This groove receptacle 38 is in an advantageous embodiment over the entire length of the rear Frame part 12 is formed in this width direction. It therefore also serves to correspondingly accommodate the rear area of the second plate part 8 when this is arranged in the position of use. This groove receptacle 38 is formed in the height direction above the receptacle groove 31 which is separate for this.

In Fig. 6 the rear frame part 12 is shown in a perspective view. As can be seen, the groove receptacle 38 is delimited by an upper wall 39. This groove receptacle 38 is delimited at the bottom by a delimiting wall 40. This delimitation wall 40 represents an upper wall 41 of a separating web 42. The separating web 42 is formed in one piece with the rear frame part 12. The separating web 42 has the upper wall 41. It also has a lower wall 43. The separating web 42 is preferably designed as a hollow profile. The lower wall 43 of the separating web 42 delimits the receiving groove 31 from above. The dividing web 42 is thus a dividing wall between the groove receptacle 38 and the receptacle groove 31 and delimits both directly. The receiving groove 31 is delimited towards the bottom by a lower wall or lower delimiting wall 44. As can be seen, the separating web 42, viewed in the depth direction, extends further forward than the upper delimiting wall or the upper wall 39. In this regard, it also extends further forward than this under the delimiting wall 44.

As in Fig. 6 is shown, at least one screw dome 46 is formed integrated in a cavity 45 of the separating web 42. In the illustration in FIG Fig. 6 the second side frame part 13 can be screwed. In addition, the second frame part 13 is placed laterally onto the structure of the rear frame part 12. In addition, a further bore 47 is formed in an integrated manner in a front, in particular tapered, region of the separating web 42. This bore 47 is preferably formed continuously over the entire length. The separate central web 32 can be screwed to it. An additional screw connection of the side frame part 13 is thereby additionally made possible at the end of the rear frame part 12.

As in Fig. 6 As can be seen, this upper wall 41 of the separating web 42 has a surface offset 48. This channel-like offset 48, which is oriented in the direction of the longitudinal axis and which is formed in the depth direction in that a Height offset, in particular a stepped height offset, enables the second plate part 8 to be removed more easily. In particular, this surface offset 48 has an inclined wall 49 oriented downwards. At its front end, the upper wall 39 advantageously has a bevel 50 facing the groove receptacle 38. As a result, the groove receptacle 38 is also widened in its front area, so that the insertion and removal of the second plate part 8 is also simplified here.

In particular, it is provided that the rear frame part 12 has a hollow chamber 51 which adjoins the groove receptacle 38 and the receiving groove 31 and the separating web 42 on the rear.

As in Fig. 6 As can be seen, the lower wall 43 of the separating web 42 is in particular not formed in a straight line. It has a rear rectilinear section 52. A further section 53 oriented obliquely upwards and forwards is formed adjacent to the front. This bevel also enables, on the one hand, an individual, improved position fixing of the lateral frame part 13 and / or 11 and / or an improved position fixation of the central web 32. In particular, this also enables easier removal and introduction of the second plate part 8 into the stowed position below the first plate part 7.

In addition, it is provided in an advantageous embodiment that the separating web 42 has a bevel 54 on its front edge area both upwards and a bevel 55 downwards. This tapering in the taper also simplifies the insertion and removal of plate parts 7 and / or 8.

In Figure 7a a left rear corner area of the storage shelf 6 is shown in a perspective view. As can be seen, the storage platform 29 has a receiving trough 56. A lower leg 57 of the edge protection element 23 is arranged embedded in this. As can also be seen, this first plate part 7 is also secured in position by the end plate 16 in the depth direction. The end plate 16 engages around an upper leg 58 of the edge protection element 23 towards the front Figure 7b As can be seen, the lower leg 57 of the edge protection element 23 extends further forwards than the upper leg 58.

As in Figure 7b As can be seen, the separating web 42 has a support platform 59 in its upper wall 41. The lower leg 57 rests on this support platform 59. This enables improved positioning and mechanically more stable attachment of the first plate part 7.

The same applies to the second plate part 8 when this is arranged on the rear frame part 12 in the position of use.

In addition, it can also be provided that this support platform 59 is used as a placement area for objects, in particular stored goods. This is made possible in particular when the second plate part 8 is arranged in its non-use position and this support platform 29, viewed in the width direction, is thus exposed upwards at least over the width of the second plate part 8. Here, for example, smaller objects such as yoghurt cups or the like can be set up.

In Figure 8a the second plate part 8 is shown in a partial section in the front area. The clamping position of the securing part 26, which is secured against displacement in particular in the width direction, can be seen. In particular, this securing part 26 is designed like a clamp and engages around the edge protection element 19. This prevents it from being pulled off in the depth direction. Displacement in the width direction is also secured in particular by a stop wall 60. As shown in Figure 8b As can be seen, this securing part 26 has a hollow region 61. This hollow area 61 surrounds the front corner area of the first plate part 7, as shown in FIG Figure 8b shown. is. This is the case when both plate parts 7 and 8 are arranged in the position of use. As in Figure 8b is shown here, an overlap a dimensioned in the depth direction is formed between the securing part 26 and the first plate part 7. In addition, it can also be seen that no clamping is provided in that length section of the securing part 26 which is only designed to receive the front corner region of the first plate part 7. This front corner area of the first plate part 7 thus only dips into this hollow area 61 without a clamping or snapping connection being formed.

In Fig. 9 the central web 32 is shown again in a perspective view. As can be seen, a snap element 63 is formed on a base 62 of this groove 36. This protrudes into the groove 36. As a result, it can be snapped into place with a snap-fit receptacle 64 shown in Fig. 11 shown can be achieved. This snap receptacle 64 is formed in an underside 65 of the first plate part 7. As a result, the positionally secure arrangement and position-fixed holding of the first plate part 7, in particular on the central web 32, can be improved.

This snap receptacle 64 can be, for example, a ground groove in the underside 65.

In Fig. 9 the receiving groove 33 is also shown. A front groove opening 65 is widened up and down. It can also be seen that a lower boundary wall 66 of this receiving groove 33 is uneven.

In Fig. 10 is shown in a vertical sectional view (sectional plane is the yx plane) of the storage shelf 6 in the area of the central web 32 and cut through the snap element 63. It can be seen that the central web 32 is hollow on the inside. In an advantageous embodiment, the central web 32 can have a side cover 67 which laterally closes this hollow area.

In Fig. 12 a partial area of the storage shelf 6 is shown in a perspective illustration. The stowed position or the non-use position of the second plate part 8 below the first plate part 7 is shown here.

In Fig. 13 is in a vertical sectional view (the section plane is the yz plane) along the section line XIII-XIII in Fig. 12 shown. The central web 32 is shown here in the uncut state. In this illustration it can be seen that this second plate part 8 is inserted into the receiving groove 33 at the edge. Because of the uneven configuration of the lower delimiting wall 66, a floor elevation 68 is formed on which the second plate part 8 rests directly with its underside. When viewed rearward in the depth direction, a lowered area 69 of this lower boundary wall 66 is formed. As a result, an air space viewed in the height direction is formed for the edge protection element 25. The second plate part 8 can thus just in this Groove 33 are stored. Further possible screw domes 70 and 71 can be seen here. It can also be seen here that a further snap element 72 is formed on the edge protection element 25. This dips into a snap receptacle 73 on the underside of the plate part 8. As a result, the edge protection element 25 is snapped onto the second plate part 8. The same can be provided with the edge protection element 23 for snapping onto the first plate part 7.

In Fig. 14 the storage shelf 6 is shown in a perspective sectional view. The second lateral frame part 13 is shown here in a vertical sectional view, as is the second plate part 8. The two plate parts 7 and 8 are shown here in a position of use. The end position of the second plate part 8 is shown. A depth b of the groove receptacle 38 measured in the depth direction is shown. A distance c is also shown. This distance c is measured in the depth direction between a front edge 74 of a lower leg 75 of the edge protection element 25 and a stop edge which forms a pull-out stop 76. This extension stop 76 is part of a stop integrated in the third frame part 13. This distance c in the end position in the position of use of the second plate part 8 is smaller than this depth b.

Based on the representation in Fig. 14 the second plate part 8 is removed from its position of use, as shown in FIG Fig. 15 first a linear forward pulling of this second plate part 8 is carried out in the positive z-direction. This becomes according to Fig. 15 reached an intermediate removal position. In this intermediate removal position, the front edge or the front edge 74 strikes against the pull-out stop 76. Since this distance c as shown in Fig. 14 is greater than the overlap measured in the depth direction, is in this intermediate removal position according to Fig. 15 the securing part 26 is decoupled from the first plate part 7. This means that the securing part 26 no longer overlaps with the first plate part 7 in the depth direction. In this intermediate removal position according to Fig. 15 however, the rear region of the plate part 8 is still partially received in the groove receptacle 38. An undesired falling of the second plate part 8 is avoided. Based on the in Fig. 15 The intermediate removal position shown is the second plate part 8 according to the arrow representation P1 in Fig. 15 lifted up at the front edge so that another intermediate removal position according to Fig. 16 is achieved. In this context, a removal angle α is set. This can be adjusted due to the surface attachment 48 and the wall 49 and the tapering bevel on the front edge of the wall 39. In this in Fig. 16 The position shown, the second plate part 8 can then be pulled out of the groove receptacle 38 according to the arrow P2. As a result, the second plate part 8 can be completely removed from the storage shelf 6 before it is stowed in the non-use position on the storage shelf 6. In particular, it is not possible to move the second plate part 8 from the position of use into the position of non-use or vice versa without completely detaching it from the support frame 10. In particular, the removal angle α results from the height of the pull-out stop 76 and the width of the lower leg 75 measured in the depth direction.

In the Figures 14 to 15 the nested structural parts of the rear frame part 12 on the one hand and of the second lateral frame part 13 can also be seen. The screw domes are each shown without the screw elements.

In Fig. 17 a storage shelf 6 is shown in a further perspective illustration in partial detail. In this embodiment, a central web 32 is provided which is designed differently from the embodiments as mentioned above. In this embodiment, the support platform or the support platform 34 is provided accordingly. Another support platform 78 is provided for the first plate part 7. This support platform 78 is designed to be open at the top. There is therefore no groove 36. In addition, a pull-out safeguard of the second plate part 8 is shown in FIG Fig. 17 Use position shown provided in the depth direction. For this purpose, a corresponding elevation 79 is designed to protrude upwards. This recess 77 can be a semicircular disk. This can be done as shown in Fig. 17 be a bulge 77 formed in the width direction. This engages in a recess 80 on a side edge of the plate part 8. In addition, a web 81 oriented in the depth direction is provided. This serves as an edge-side stop for both plate parts 7 and 8 when these are arranged in their position of use. In this embodiment, the second plate part 8 from the in Fig. 17 The end position shown can be removed in that it is raised at the front in a first step so that the coupling between the elements 79 and 80 is decoupled. With the inclined position then reached, the second plate part 8 can be removed to the front. In Fig. 18 a further embodiment of a storage shelf 6 is shown in a perspective view. In this embodiment it is provided that the support frame 10 has only one rear frame part 12. The side frame parts 11 and 13 are not available here. In order to form a stowage unit 27, separate parts 82 are provided here. A central web 32 of reduced length is also provided. This part 82 can be attached to a cam 83 which is formed on a vertical side wall of the inner container 5. For example, it can be infected in this regard. In the middle web 32 and this further element 82, support platforms are formed on which the second plate part 8 can be placed in the non-use position. The central web 32 is arranged here at a distance from and decoupled from the rear frame part 12. In particular, another cam 84 is shown. This is also integrated in the inner container 5. The first plate part 7 rests on this cam 84 here. On the opposite side wall of the inner container, cams 83 and / or 84 are formed accordingly.

It can generally be provided that the support frame 10 is made of plastic or metal. It can also be provided that one frame part is made of metal and another frame part is made of plastic. For example, the rear frame part 12 can be made of metal, in particular aluminum. An extruded aluminum profile can be implemented here.

The central web 32 can also be made of plastic or metal. In particular, when the central web 32 is also arranged relatively far to the front, the securing part 26 can optionally be omitted. The support frame 10 can also be implemented as a one-piece component, for example as an injection-molded component.

The support frame 10 is to be understood as a component that is only associated with the storage shelf 6. The support frame 10 thus has no components that are integrally formed, for example, as cams or rails or the like on a vertical side wall or a rear side wall of the inner container 5 or are fixedly attached thereto. Such components on an inner container serve as coupling structures on which the storage shelf 6, in particular with its support frame 10, can be placed and / or coupled. Such Components of the inner container 5 that are separate from the shelf are identified, for example, by cams 83 and 84 in FIG Fig. 18 shown. These are also exemplary in Fig. 3 and Fig. 16 to recognize. The cams 83, 84 can also be designed differently.

A storage shelf 6 can also be provided as an accessory or retrofit part. It can therefore also be used retrospectively in existing household refrigerators 1. <b> List of reference symbols </b> 1 Household refrigerator 32 Middle bar 2 casing 33 Receiving groove 3 Recording room 34 Support platform 4th door 35 Holding part 5 Inner container 36 Groove 6 Storage shelf 37a Recess 7th Plate part 37b Recess 8th Plate part 38 Groove recording 9 Shelf 39 upper wall 10 Support frame 40 Boundary wall 11 Frame part 41 upper wall 12th Frame part 42 Divider 13th Frame part 43 lower wall 14th Corner area 44 lower boundary wall 15th Corner area 45 cavity 16 End plate 46 Screw dome 17th Cover plate 47 drilling 18th Front edge 48 Surface offset 19th Edge protection element 49 wall 20th Front edge 50 bevel 21st Edge protection element 51 Hollow chamber 22nd rear edge 52 section 23 Edge protection element 53 section 24 rear end 54 bevel 25th Edge protection element 55 bevel 26th Fuse part 56 Receiving recess 27 Stowage unit 57 lower thigh 28 Receiving groove 58 upper thigh 29 Support platform 59 Support platform 30th Stop bar 60 Stop wall 31 Receiving groove 61 Hollow area 62 ground 63 Snap-on element 64 Snap shot 65 bottom 66 lower boundary wall 67 Side cover 68 Elevation 69 Area 70 Screw dome 71 Screw dome 72 Snap element 73 Snap shot 74 leading edge 75 lower thigh 76 Move-out stop 77 Bulge 78 Support platform 79 Elevation 80 Recess 81 web 82 part 83 cam 84 cam α angle a overlap b depth c distance x Width direction y Height direction z Depth direction P1 Arrow display P2 arrow
