Description

One aspect of the invention relates to a food receptacle for a household refrigerator. The food receptacle has a tray for receiving the food. The food receptacle also has a lid which is separate from the shell and which can be placed on the shell to close the shell. The food receptacle has a ventilation device with which an exchange of air between the surroundings and the interior of the food receptacle can be carried out. The ventilation device releases a ventilation opening in an open position and closes the ventilation opening in the closed position. Another aspect of the invention relates to a household refrigerator with such a food receptacle.

Such a household refrigerator is for example from the WO 2004/038312 A1 known. There recesses are formed in a lid of the food receptacle in which strip-like and flat plates are pivotably mounted. It is therefore necessary that the cover itself is formed with such rimmed recesses in order to be able to insert these flaps therein. The pivot axis, about which a flap can pivot, is arranged within the cover, viewed in the height direction, and thus within the height of the cover. As a result, when the flat flap is opened, constellations occur in which the upwardly projecting portion of the flap is relatively far up. Due to the planar design of the flap, a steeply upwardly projecting freely cantilevered part of the flap is pivoted. In the open state of the flap, this also results in a relatively high upward position of the flap, so that in this regard there are also circumferentially free edges. On the one hand, when the flap is open, a corresponding space requirement upwards is required, on the other hand, other components and the like can come into contact with it. In particular, a corresponding space requirement in the upward direction is then also required in order to open the flap completely. In addition, flaps can only be pivoted by means of a separate actuating device. This results in more complex motion sequences and a correspondingly more complex mechanism. Complete closing and opening can be impaired as a result.

It is the object of the present invention to provide a food receptacle for a household refrigeration appliance and such a household refrigeration appliance in which the ventilation device is designed to be improved with regard to its positioning and adjustment.

This object is achieved by a food receptacle and a household refrigerator according to the independent claims.

One aspect of the invention relates to a food receptacle for a household refrigerator. The food receptacle has a tray for receiving food. The food receptacle also has a lid which is separate from the shell and which can be placed on the shell to close the shell. The food receptacle also has a ventilation device with which an exchange of air between the surroundings and an interior of the food receptacle can be carried out. In an open position, the ventilation device releases a ventilation opening of the food receptacle and closes this ventilation opening in the closed position.

The ventilation device has at least one slide. This slide is mounted on the shell so as to be displaceable in the depth direction of the food receptacle. As a result, the open position is set in a first displacement position of the slide. The closed position is set in a second displacement position of the slide that is different from this. Such a concept thus achieves a preferred installation position for the ventilation device. It is no longer provided on the lid of the food receptacle, but on a separate bowl. This means that it is shifted as far forward as possible, also viewed in the depth direction. This improves the accessibility for a user. This position of the ventilation device, which is moved forward to the maximum, also enables easier handling for a user. Last but not least, this arrangement of the ventilation device also achieves an improved concept in that the Position can be more easily recognized by a user. Because the forward position of the ventilation device makes it easier for a user to see the position in which the slide is located, even when viewed appropriately. A particularly advantageous concept of the ventilation device is achieved by the slide. A more complex movement in the form of a pivoting movement of a flap, as is the case in the prior art, is therefore no longer necessary, but rather only a simple linear movement must be carried out. On the one hand, this is easier to implement conceptually, and on the other hand, it can be easily initiated by a user. Last but not least, this possibility of a slide with two different displacement positions also increases the precision of the setting of these different displacement positions. As a result, the closed state and thus the closed position as well as the open state and thus the open position can be approached more precisely. In particular, the slide is mounted directly on the shell in such a way that it can only be moved in this depth direction. This enables a particularly simple movement concept. In particular, the slide can be operated directly by a user. There is no longer a need for a separate actuating device which the user would actuate and which would move the slide. This also saves components.

In an advantageous embodiment it is provided that the slide is arranged linearly displaceable directly on the shell. The shell thus serves as a carrier for this slide. The direct mounting of the slide on the shell means that additional mechanical components as coupling elements or the like can be dispensed with.

It is preferably provided that the slide is held on the shell with at least one snap connection and, in the held state, can be displaced in the depth direction. This achieves a particularly simple mechanical fastening concept for the slide on the shell. On the one hand, a snap connection is easy to adjust and, nevertheless, secure and precise mounting is made possible. The slide can not only be attached directly to the shell in a non-destructive, detachable manner by means of such a design of a snap connection. The snap connection, however, represents an advantageous embodiment in this context. The snap connection also enables a relative movement between the slide and the shell to be made possible in the snapped state. In particular, there is the shift in the depth direction allows, so that the first displacement position and the second displacement position can be set or approached easily and without jamming and spreading.

In an advantageous embodiment it is provided that the snap connection has at least one snap element. The snap element is formed in particular on an underside of the slide. In particular, this snap element is designed as a snap hook. This is another beneficial concept. Because on the one hand, the top of the slide is not restricted by any connecting elements. Snap elements positioned in this way are also avoided in this way. By positioning the snap element on the underside of the slide, a tidy positioning is achieved here and, on the other hand, an improved direct snap coupling with the shell is made possible. The design as a snap hook enables a particularly secure and reliable coupling with the shell. The snapped state is kept particularly safe as a result. Nevertheless, the sliding movement of the slide relative to the shell is made possible without restriction in this defined depth direction.

It is preferably provided that the snap hook is designed to be resilient in the width direction of the food receptacle. This enables a specific snap concept in this regard. For example, the slide can be placed on the shell from above and, by the springing of the snap hook occurring in the width direction, it can be guided past a counter-snap element on the shell by springing out the snap hook in the width direction. When the slide is placed further on the shell from above, the snap element is then guided past the counter snap element and brought into the snapped position. In the snapped state between the snap element on the slide and the counter snap element on the shell, the snap element and the counter snap element are arranged so as to overlap one another in the width direction of the food receptacle. As a result, this snap connection advantageously achieves a holder both in the height direction and in the width direction of the food receptacle. In particular, the snap hook engages under or engages behind the counter-snap element on the shell, in particular in the width direction and / or in the height direction.

It is preferably provided that the snap hook engages behind a counter-snap element of the snap connection, which is formed on the shell, in the width direction. As a result, holding is formed in the height direction and in the width direction. However, it is possible to move the slide in the depth direction.

In an advantageous embodiment it is provided that the snap hook engages with a vertical hook web, which is thus oriented in the height direction, into a guide slot of the shell. This is done in such a way that the snap hook is guided through the guide slot during the displacement movement of the slide in the depth direction. In particular, the guide link is designed as a slot. The guide link is thus limited in the direction of its longitudinal axis, which is oriented in the depth direction, at the opposite edge regions. A particularly advantageous displacement concept is achieved in this way. This enables the slide to be guided safely, in particular in a very straight line, in the depth direction.

In an advantageous embodiment, the snap hook has a horizontal engagement bar. This is oriented in particular at an angle between 80 ° and 100 °, in particular 90 °, with respect to the vertical hook web. In particular, a snap hook is preferably L-shaped. The snap hook engages behind said counter-snap element, in particular with this horizontal rear engagement web. With this rear engagement web, an additional guide element is preferably also created, which can rest on the underside of the counter-snap element. In this way, the guidance of the slide during the relative movement with respect to the shell in the depth direction is guided even better.

It is preferably provided that at least two snap hooks are formed on the underside of the slide. The snap hooks are preferably arranged in such a way that, viewed in the width direction, they face one another with their engaging webs.

In an advantageous embodiment it is provided that the slide is designed in one piece. In particular, it can be made of plastic. The slide preferably has a strip-shaped or plate-shaped base part. The at least one snap hook is formed in one piece on the underside of this base part.

In an advantageous embodiment it is provided that at least one snap hook is formed on an outer quarter of the length of the strip-like slide, viewed in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the slide. This position makes it possible for the snap points of the snap connection, viewed in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the slide, to be formed relatively far towards the ends. As a result, the slide is mechanically coupled to the shell, in particular at the end faces. This avoids fluttering at the end or unwanted sticking up. This also avoids the situation where a relatively large part of the slide could possibly be bent upwards in the event of an end-side force.

In particular, the preferably present second snap element, in particular the second snap hook, is also formed in a second outer length quarter opposite to the first outer length quarter. The advantages mentioned above are achieved even further in an improved manner.

In an advantageous embodiment it is provided that the slide has at least one guide web on its underside. The guide bar is a separate part from the snap element. The guide web is designed and arranged at a distance from a snap element in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the slide. A guide channel is preferably formed in the shell. The guide channel is designed to be open at the top. The guide web on the slide engages in an advantageous manner from above into this guide channel in the shell. Such a configuration improves the guidance of the slide during the linear relative movement to the shell in the depth direction. In an advantageous embodiment it is provided that at least two such guide webs are formed on the underside of the slide. A guide web is formed in one piece with the slide. The second guide web, which is preferably present, also engages in an advantageous manner into a second guide channel in the shell from above.

As a result of the configuration with at least one guide web, it is also possible, in particular, to improve the position stabilization of the slide in the width direction relative to the shell. Undesired play in the width direction between the slide and the shell in the interconnected state is thereby advantageously avoided. The linear movement in the depth direction of the slide relative to the shell is further improved.

It is preferably provided that the guide web is formed in a middle third of the length of the strip-like slide, in particular of the base part, viewed in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the slide. This positioning enables the guiding concept to be made particularly advantageous. This promotes particularly precise linear guidance.

It is preferably provided that the slide has a handle on its upper side. The handle can preferably be a recessed grip. The handle can be grasped directly by a user. Such a configuration enables the slide to be moved in a particularly user-friendly and simple manner. Gripping this handle can mean direct contact with a user with two fingers. However, it can also mean that only one finger is gripped on the handle or that it is contacted and the sliding movement of the slide is thereby generated by means of a corresponding action of force. This is particularly advantageous when the handle is designed as a recessed grip. Because then a single finger can be inserted into this recessed grip and the sliding movement of the slide can be initiated without undesired slipping or the like.

In an advantageous embodiment it is provided that the shell has a flat upper edge. This can be referred to as a support plateau. The slide is slidably mounted on this upper edge. It can be provided that the surface dimension of this upper edge, viewed in the depth direction, is greater than the dimension of the slide, in particular its strip-shaped base part, measured in the depth direction. It can also be provided that these relevant dimensions are the same in the depth direction. By appropriately dimensioning the area of the upper edge, a stable and snug fit of the slide on the shell can also be achieved in this context. In particular, the coupling between the shell and the slide is such that in the second displacement position, in which the closed position of the ventilation device is set, the slide, viewed in the depth direction, protrudes at least partially further back than a rear edge region of the upper edge. With this configuration, an in Free space measured in the depth direction between the rear edge of the upper edge of the shell and a front edge of the lid covered by the slide. In the first displacement position of the slide relative to the shell, the rear edge of the slide, viewed in depth, can be positioned in front of the rear edge area of the upper edge or at the same depth or further back than this rear edge area of the upper edge when viewed in depth direction. In the open position of the ventilation device, however, a free space or gap between the rear edge area of the upper edge of the shell and the front edge of the lid is at least partially released by the slide.

In an advantageous embodiment it is provided that a rear edge of the slide rests against a front edge of the lid of the food receptacle when the slide is in the closed state. When viewed in the width direction, the slide preferably extends over at least 50 percent, in particular at least 60 percent, in particular at least 70 percent, in particular at least 80 percent, in particular at least 90 percent of the width of the shell.

This upper edge of the shell is preferably the upper cover of a handle on the front of the shell. The handle of the shell can, for example, be a recessed grip that is open at the bottom. A user can thus reach into the recessed grip from below. Such a handle is limited from above by a roof wall. This roof wall can be the upper edge of the shell. In particular, this handle also has a front boundary wall. This adjoins a front edge area of the upper edge and extends downwards from there.

In an advantageous embodiment it is provided that a recess is formed in this upper edge of the shell. The slide is sunk into this recess, at least in some areas, when it is mounted on the shell.

It can also be provided that the slide, which is designed as a separate component to the shell, is colored in an individual color. It is also possible that different slides can be mounted on the shell. These can, for example, differ in color and / or in shape and / or in dimensions be trained. This allows simple variants of a food receptacle to be formed.

Furthermore, it is possible that the handle of the shell, in particular the front-side boundary wall, has a decorative element. The decorative element can, for example, be printing or structuring. This decorative element can also be a film. Hot stamping can also be provided, by means of which such a decorative element is applied.

It can be provided that the slide can be locked in the first displacement position. It can be provided that the slide can be locked in the second displacement position. This makes it possible for at least one of these two displacement positions to be held by a locking device of the food receptacle. This prevents undesired movement of the slide from one of the two positions set in this regard. For example, when the shell is moved, in particular jerkily, because a user pulls it out or pushes it in, for example, an undesired shifting of the slide relative to the shell can be avoided. In this way it can also be avoided that when the shell is moved in this way, an undesired adjustment of the slide into a position that is not noticed by a user takes place. In this way, it can also be avoided that a closed position of the slide is undesirably changed at least in part and thus a partial opening of the food storage container occurs on the ventilation device. Conversely, the same can also be avoided to the extent that an open position of the ventilation device would be closed undesirably. For example, a locking device can be a snap device.

This snap device is in particular a connection different from the above-mentioned advantageous embodiment of a snap connection for mechanically attaching the slide to the shell.

In an advantageous embodiment, it is provided that the food receptacle has a display strip with which an open position and a closed position of the flap are symbolically displayed. This display bar can be a separate component. The display bar can be arranged at least in some areas on the shell. Especially at the top of the bowl.

Another aspect of the invention relates to a household refrigerator with at least one food receptacle according to the above aspect or an advantageous embodiment thereof. The household refrigerator can be a refrigerator or a freezer or a combined refrigerator-freezer. The household refrigerator has a housing in which at least one receiving space for food is formed. The food receptacle can be arranged in the receptacle and forms, in particular when the lid is closed on the tray, its own closed storage area. The food receptacle can in particular be a fresh food container in which an individual storage condition, in particular an individual temperature and / or humidity, can be set.

This makes it possible to set a storage condition that differs from the rest of the area of the receiving space. This is particularly advantageous for storing specific foods such as fruit or vegetables or meat such as fish.

It can be provided that the household refrigerator has a humidifying device with which the individual air humidity in the food receptacle can be adjusted.

The food receptacle can preferably be removed from the receptacle and reinserted and thus also a portable or mobile container.

The terms "top", "bottom", "front", "back", "horizontal", "vertical", "depth direction", "width direction", "height direction" mean that the container or the device is used and arranged as intended given positions and orientations.

Further features of the invention emerge from the claims, the figures and the description of the figures. The features mentioned above in the description and Combinations of features, as well as the features and feature combinations mentioned below in the description of the figures and / or shown alone in the figures, can be used not only in the respectively specified combination, but also in other combinations or on their own without departing from the scope of the invention. There are thus also embodiments of the invention to be regarded as encompassed and disclosed, which are not explicitly shown and explained in the figures, but emerge and can be generated from the explained embodiments by means of separate combinations of features. Designs and combinations of features are also to be regarded as disclosed, which therefore do not have all the features of an originally formulated independent claim.

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

In Fig. 1 is shown in an exemplary representation of a household refrigerator 1, which is designed as a combined refrigerator-freezer. The household refrigerator 1 has a body 2 with an inner container 3. The inner container 3 delimits with its walls a first interior space or receiving space 4, which is a cooling space, and a second interior space or receiving space 5, which is arranged below and separated therefrom, and which is a freezer space. The receiving space 4 is generally used for frost-free cooling of items to be cooled, preferably at temperatures between +4 ° C and +8 ° C. The receiving space 4 can, however, also be designed as a zero-degree compartment, in particular for keeping fruit or vegetables fresh. The receiving space 4 is accessible when the door 6, which closes the receiving space 4 at the front, is open.

The further receiving space 5 is generally used for deep-freezing frozen goods, for example at -18 ° C. The receiving space 5 is accessible when the freezer door 7 is open.

In the upper receiving space 4, a refrigerated goods or fresh food container or food receiving container is mounted such that it can be pulled out and has a lid 9 and a separate drawer or shell 10. As shown, an additional, separate cover 11 can be arranged over the cover 9, for example in the form of a partition, for example a glass compartment floor. The fresh food container represents a food receptacle 8.

The inner container 3 has, among other things, two opposite vertical side walls 3a and 3b.

At least by the cover 11, the food receiving container 8 is separated from the remaining partial volume of the receiving space 4.

The food receiving container 8 can be removed from the receiving space 4 in a non-destructive manner. Also in the inserted state in the receiving space 4 it is provided that the shell 10 can be pushed back and forth in the depth direction and thus in the z-direction when it is still stored in the receiving space 4 in order to be able to get into the interior of the shell 10.

The food receiving container 8, viewed in the height direction (x-direction), is arranged directly above a further container 8 'which is preferably present. It can preferably be provided that the food receiving container 8 is arranged at the position of the container 8 '. The container 8 ′ can be a food receiving container 8 in addition to or instead of the food receiving container 8. When it is formed at the position of the container 8 ', the food receiving container 8 preferably extends further forwards in the depth direction than the container then arranged directly above it.

In Fig. 2 a partial area of the household refrigerator 1 is shown in a perspective view, in which the food receptacle 8 is arranged. The completely The food receptacle 8 which can be removed from the receiving space 4 has a ventilation device 12. This ventilation device 12 enables air to be exchanged between the surroundings and a volume space or an interior 13 of the food receptacle 8.

The ventilation device 12 has a slide 14. The slide 14 has a strip-shaped base part 15. This extends in the width direction. This base part 15 and thus also the slide 14 extend over at least 50 percent, in particular at least 60 percent, in particular at least 70 percent, in particular at least 80 percent, in particular at least 90 percent of the width of the shell 10 measured in the width direction. The slide 14 is formed in one piece . It is made in particular from plastic. A handle 17 is preferably formed on an upper side 16 of the slide 14, in particular the base part 15. The handle 17 is designed in particular as a recessed grip. On an underside 18 of the slide 14, in particular of the base part 15, are, as shown in FIG Fig. 3 can be seen, a first snap element 19 and in particular a second snap element 20 is integrally formed. The snap elements 19 and 20, viewed in the direction of a longitudinal axis A of the slide 14, which extends in the width direction, are formed at outer longitudinal quarters. In particular, they are formed at the end of the base part 15 on the underside 18. The snap elements 19 and 20 are preferably designed as snap hooks. In particular, it is provided that at least one guide web 21 is formed on the underside 18. In particular, two guide webs 21 and 22 are formed integrally with the base part 15. The two guide webs 21 and 22 extend perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A. They thus extend in the depth direction (z-direction). The guide webs 21 and 22, viewed in the direction of the longitudinal axis A, are preferably formed in a central third of the length of the entire length of the base part 15. They are separate elements from the snap elements. In particular, the guide webs 21 and 22 are not designed as snap elements.

In Fig. 2 it can be seen that the shell 10 has a front wall 23. The front wall 23 has an upper edge 24. The upper edge 24 is formed as a surface in the exemplary embodiment. In particular, it is a rectangular area. In an advantageous embodiment, the upper edge 24 represents an upper cover and thus a roof wall of a handle 25. The handle 25 is formed in one piece in the front wall 23. The handle 25 is in particular a recessed grip that can be gripped with one hand by engaging from below. The handle 25 is also delimited by a vertical delimitation wall 26. This vertical boundary wall 26 is a front wall. It adjoins a front edge region 27 of the upper edge 24. The upper edge 24 also has a rear edge region 28. In an advantageous embodiment, a recess 29 is formed in this upper edge 24. The slide 14 is arranged in this recess 29 when it is mounted on the shell 10, in particular the front wall 23.

The slide 14 is a separate component from the shell 10. In particular, the slide 14 is arranged on the front wall 23 in a non-destructive detachable manner. In particular, it is arranged snapped into the recess 29.

As in Fig. 2 As can be seen, when the shell 10 is pushed in, a free space or a gap 30 is formed between the rear edge region 28 of the front wall 23 and a front edge 31 of the cover 9. This free space or gap 30 can be covered or released by the slide 14. This enables appropriate ventilation. In an advantageous embodiment, the slide 14 is snapped onto the upper edge 24 by a snap connection 32.

The recess 29 can also not be formed in one embodiment.

To snap, the snap elements 19 and 20 engage in counter snap elements 33 and 34. The counter snap elements 33 and 34 are formed on the upper edge 24. In particular, they are designed as holes or perforations in the upper edge 24. As can be seen, these counter-snap elements 33 and 34 are preferably designed as slots oriented in the depth direction. In this context, they also represent elongated holes. In particular, in an advantageous embodiment, these counter-snap elements 33 and 34 are also functionally designed as guide slots 35 and 36 at the same time. This means that on the one hand they are components of the snap connection 32, so that the snap elements 19 and 20 can be snapped together. On the other hand, in the snapped state, these snap elements 19 and 20 can be displaced in the depth direction, in particular only in the depth direction, relative to the counter snap elements 33 and 34, since these are also designed as guide links 35 and 36. In the snapped state of the slide 14 on the shell 10, in particular the front wall 23, it is therefore possible for the snap elements 19 and 20 to move relative to the counter snap elements 33 and 34. In particular, a relative movement in the depth direction is made possible in this regard. In particular, only a movement in the depth direction is possible.

In addition, it is provided that guide channels 37 and 38 are formed in the upper edge 24. The guide webs 21 and 22 engage in these guide channels 37 and 38 from above. This enables a further improved guidance of the slide 14 in its relative movement to the front wall 23 in the state arranged thereon.

The slide 14, if it is arranged directly on the shell 10, in particular directly on the front wall 23, in particular directly on the upper edge 24, can only be displaced relative to the front wall 23 in the depth direction, in particular only in the depth direction. For this purpose, at least two defined displacement positions can be set. In a first displacement position of the slide 14 on the shell 10, an open position of the ventilation device 12 is set. This is in the perspective partial view of the food receptacle 8 in FIG Fig. 5 shown. In this first displacement position and thus the open position of the ventilation device 12, there is a distance between the front edge 31 of the cover 9 and a rear edge or a rear edge region 43 of the slide 14, in particular of the base part 15. This creates a ventilation gap. This is the gap 30. The rear edge region 43 is designed in particular with a bevel 39, as shown in FIG Figures 10 to 13 can be seen. In particular, the front edge 31 is inclined in a complementary manner. As a result, in the closed state of the ventilation device 12, an improved closing effect is achieved between the front edge 31 resting against one another and the rear edge region 43. These thus overlap in the depth direction.

Starting from this open position of the slide 14, which is the first displacement position, the slide 14 can only be displaced backwards in the depth direction, in particular only in the depth direction. It is then in the second shift position, as shown in Fig. 4 shown is brought. This second displacement position of the slide 14 is the closed position of the Ventilation device 12. In this second displacement position, the rear edge region 43 of the slide 14, in particular of the base part 15, rests against the front edge 31 of the cover 9. So the in Fig. 5 formed gap closed.

Viewed generally, the slide 14 is not mounted on the cover 9. At most, it is in direct contact and rests against the front edge 31 when the slide 14 is arranged in the second displacement position.

In Fig. 6 is shown in a perspective view of the food receptacle 8, it being cut at the front. The relevant cutting plane is in the xy plane. The cutting plane is as shown in Fig. 4 drawn along the section line VI-VI. In particular, this cutting plane is drawn in the area of the snap elements 21 and 22. Therefore, according to the partial representation in Fig. 7 the snapped state of the snap element 20 with the counter snap element 34 is shown. As can be seen, the snap element 20 has a vertical hook web 40. In addition, the snap element 20 has a rear engagement web 41 adjoining the vertical hook web 40. In particular, the rear engagement web 41 is oriented horizontally. The snap element 20 is preferably L-shaped in this sectional plane. As can be seen, in this snapped-in state, the rear engagement web 41 is designed to overlap with the upper edge 24 in the width direction. In particular, the engaging web 41 engages behind or engages below the boundary wall of the upper edge 24, which bounds the counter-snap element 32.

In addition, it can also be seen how the snap element 20, in particular the horizontal hook web 40, is guided in the guide slot 36 and extends through it in the vertical direction. In Fig. 7 Area I is off Fig. 6 shown.

In Fig. 8 Area II is shown in a corresponding representation in Fig. 6 shown. In Fig. 8 a corresponding configuration of the snap element 19 can be seen in this context, as has already been explained with regard to the shape and configuration for the further snap element 20. As shown in the Figures 7 and 8 can be seen, the snap elements 19 and 20 are arranged so that they are facing each other with their rear engagement webs 41 and 42.

In addition, in Fig. 9 in a partial representation of area III in Fig. 6 shown. The engagement of the guide webs 21 and 22 in the guide channels 37 and 38 is shown here.

In Fig. 10 a partial area of the food receptacle 8 is shown in a further perspective sectional illustration. The section plane in the yz plane is shown here. The cutting plane is formed here outside the handle 17 of the slide 14. In addition, the first displacement position of the slide 14 is shown here, in which the open position of the ventilation device 12 is set. As can be seen here, a front edge region 44 of the slide 14, in particular of the base part 15, is rounded. Correspondingly, in an advantageous embodiment, the rear edge region 43 is rounded. In Fig. 11 In contrast, the representation is according to Fig. 10 shown, but the slide 14 is moved back in the depth direction, so that the second displacement position is set. The closed position of the ventilation device 12 is thus set. An air flow L, as shown in Fig. 10 is shown and escapes from the interior 13 is no longer possible here.

In Fig. 12 a corresponding first displacement position of the slide 14 is shown in a perspective sectional illustration, the section here being different from Fig. 10 is pulled in the area of the handle 17.

In Fig. 13 is a representation with the closed position of the ventilation device 12 shown, as shown in FIG Fig. 11 is shown. In contrast to Fig. 11 is in Fig. 13 analogous to Fig. 12 the cutting plane drawn in the area of the handle 17. In particular, the cut is in Figures 12 and 13 also pulled through the guide web 21 and the guide channel 38.
