EP3809069B1 - Food storage container with a slide of a ventilation device which can be moved in the depth direction and a domestic refrigerator - Google Patents

Description

One aspect of the invention relates to a food storage container for a household refrigeration appliance. The food storage container has a tray for receiving the food. The food receiving container also has a lid that is separate from the shell and can be placed on the shell to close the shell. The food storage container has a ventilation device with which air can be exchanged between the environment and the interior of the food storage container. The ventilation device releases a ventilation opening in an open position and closes the ventilation opening in the closed position. A further aspect of the invention relates to a household refrigeration appliance with such a food storage container.

KR 101 097 002 B1 discloses a bowl with a lid, the bowl being equipped with a degassing means. The degassing means can be actuated by a user. The degassing means is placed at an insertion opening while a user keeps depressing the degassing means.

CN 102 607 234 A discloses a tray and a shelf above the tray, the shelf having a slider that can be slid back and forth widthwise.

KR 10-2009-0133008 A discloses a bowl and a lid, with a slide being arranged in the handle strip of the bowl. The slider can either release or close openings that are located in the shell front behind the handle strip.

A household refrigerator is, for example, from WO 2004/038312 A1 known. There, recesses are formed in a lid of the food storage container, in which strip-like and flat plates are pivotably mounted. It is therefore necessary that the lid itself is formed with such bordered recesses, to be able to use these flaps in it. The pivot axis about which a flap is pivotable is viewed in the height direction within the lid and thus arranged within the height of the lid. As a result, constellations occur when the planar flap is opened, in which the partial area of the flap projecting upwards is relatively far up. Due to the planar configuration of the flap, a freely projecting part of the flap that protrudes steeply upwards is thus oriented in a pivoted manner. When the flap is in the open state, this also results in a position of the flap that is relatively far up, so that there are also circumferentially free edges in this regard. On the one hand, when the flap is open, a corresponding amount of space is required upwards, on the other hand, other components and the like can bump against it. In particular, a corresponding amount of space is then required in the height direction upwards 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. This can affect full closing and opening.

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

This object is solved by a food storage container according to independent claim 1.

The invention relates to a food storage container for a household refrigeration appliance. The food storage container has a tray for storing food. The food receiving container also has a lid that is separate from the shell and can be placed on the shell to close the shell. The food storage container also has a ventilation device with which air can be exchanged between the environment and an interior of the food storage container. In an open position, the ventilation device releases a ventilation opening of the food receptacle and, in the closed position, closes this ventilation opening.

The ventilation device has at least one slider. This slider is slidably mounted on the tray in the depth direction of the food storage container. As a result, the open position is set in a first displacement position of the slide. The closed position is set in a different second displacement position of the slide. A preferred installation position of the ventilation device is thus achieved by such a concept. It is no longer provided on the lid of the food receptacle, but on a separate bowl. It is thus shifted as far forward as possible, also viewed in the depth direction. This improves accessibility for a user. This position of the ventilation device, which is moved as far forward as possible, 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 recognized more easily by a user. Because the forward-mounted position of the ventilation device makes it easier for a user to recognize the position in which the slide is located, even when the user looks at it accordingly. 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 required, but only a simple linear movement to 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 slider 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 displaced in this depth direction. This enables a particularly simple movement concept. In particular, the slider can be operated directly by a user. There is no longer a need for a separate actuating device that the user would actuate and by which the slide would be displaced. As a result, components can also be saved.

In an advantageous embodiment, it is provided that the slide is arranged directly on the shell in a linearly displaceable manner. The shell thus serves as a support for this slider. Because the slider is mounted directly on the shell, additional mechanical components such as coupling elements or the like can be omitted.

Provision is preferably made for the slide to be held on the shell with at least one snap connection and to be displaceable in the depth direction when held. This achieves a particularly simple mechanical fastening concept for the slide on the shell. On the one hand, a snap connection is easily adjustable and yet secure and precise mounting is made possible. The slide can be attached directly to the shell in a non-destructively releasable manner not only by means of such a design of a snap connection. In this context, however, the snap connection represents an advantageous embodiment. The snap connection also makes it possible for a relative movement between the slide and the shell to be possible in the snapped state. In particular, the displacement 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. On the one hand, the upper side of the slider is not restricted by any connecting elements. Snapping elements positioned in this way are also avoided as a result. By positioning the snap element on the underside of the slide, a tidy positioning is also 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 safe and reliable coupling to the shell. The snapped state is held particularly securely as a result. Nevertheless, the displacement movement of the slide relative to the shell in this defined depth direction is made possible without restriction.

Provision is preferably made for the snap hook to be designed to be resilient in the width direction of the food receptacle. This enables a specific snapping concept in this regard. For example, the slider can be placed on the shell from above and the springing of the snap hook in the width direction can lead it past a counter-snap element on the shell by the snap hook being springed out in the width direction. When the slide is placed further onto 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 slider and the counter snap element on the tray, the snap element and the counter snap element are arranged in an overlapping manner in the width direction of the food accommodating container. As a result, this snap-on connection advantageously achieves a mount both in the vertical direction and in the width direction of the food storage container. In particular, the snap hook engages below or behind the counter snap element on the shell, in particular in the width direction and/or in the height direction.

Provision is preferably made for the snap hook to engage behind a counter snap element of the snap connection, which is formed on the shell, in the width direction. Thereby holding in the height direction and in the width direction is formed. In the depth direction, however, displacement of the slide is possible.

In an advantageous embodiment, it is provided that the snap hook engages in a guide link of the shell with a vertical hook web, which is thus oriented in the vertical direction. This is done in such a way that the snap hook is guided by the guide slot during the displacement movement of the slider in the depth direction. In particular, the guide slot 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 thereby achieved. This enables the slide to be guided in the depth direction safely, in particular in a very straight line.

In an advantageous embodiment, the snap hook has a horizontal rear gripping web. This is in particular oriented at an angle of between 80° and 100°, in particular 90°, relative to the vertical hook web. In particular, a snap hook is preferably L-shaped. In particular, with this horizontal gripping web, the snap hook grips behind the said counter-snapping element. An additional guide element is preferably also created with this rear gripping web, which can bear against the underside of the counter-snapping element. In this way, the guidance of the slide in the relative movement with respect to the shell in the depth direction is again improved.

Provision is preferably made for at least two snap hooks to be 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 each other with their rear gripping 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 slider, to be designed relatively far towards the ends. As a result, the slider is mechanically coupled to the shell, particularly at the end faces. This avoids flapping at the end or undesired standing up. This also prevents a relatively large part of the slide from being bent upwards when a force acts on the end.

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

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 bar 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 bar on the slider advantageously engages in this guide channel in the shell from above. Such a configuration further improves the guidance of the slide during the linear movement relative to the tray 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 bar is formed integrally with the slider. The preferably present second guide web also advantageously engages in a second guide groove in the shell from above.

The configuration with at least one guide web can also in particular improve the position stabilization of the slide in the width direction relative to the shell. An undesired play in the width direction between the slide and the shell in the connected state is thereby advantageously avoided. The linear movement in the depth direction of the slide relative to the shell is further improved as a result.

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

Provision is preferably made for the slider to have a handle on its upper side. The handle can preferably be a recessed grip. The handle is directly graspable by a user. Such a configuration allows the slider to be moved in a particularly user-friendly and simple manner. Gripping this handle can mean direct contact with two fingers of a user. However, it can also mean that only one finger is gripped on the handle or that it is contacted and the displacement movement of the slide is thereby generated by means of a corresponding force effect. This is particularly advantageous when the handle is designed as a recessed grip. Because then a single finger can be placed in this recessed grip and the displacement movement of the slider 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 the support plateau. The slider is slidably mounted on this upper edge. Provision can be made for the area of this upper edge, viewed in the depth direction, to be greater than the depth of the slider, in particular its strip-shaped base part. Provision can also be made for these relevant dimensions to be the same in the depth direction. A stable and snug fit of the slider on the shell can also be achieved in this context by appropriate dimensioning of the surface of the upper edge. 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 to the rear than a rear edge region of the upper edge. With this design, an in Depth dimensioned free space between the rear edge of the upper edge of the shell and a front edge of the lid covered by the slider. In the first displacement position of the slider relative to the tray, the rear edge of the slider can be positioned in front of the rear edge area of the upper edge, viewed in the depth direction, or at the same depth level or further back than this rear edge area of the upper edge, viewed in the 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. According to the invention it is provided that a rear edge of the slider rests against a front edge of the lid of the food receptacle when the slider is in the closed state. 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.

Preferably, this upper rim of the tray is the top cover of a front handle of the tray. The handle of the shell can be, for example, a recessed grip that is open at the bottom. This allows a user to reach into the recessed grip from below. Such a handle is delimited with a roof wall from above. This roof wall can be the upper edge of the shell. In particular, this handle also has a front boundary wall. This borders on a front edge area of the upper edge and extends downwards from there.

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

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

Furthermore, it is possible for the handle of the shell, in particular the front boundary wall, to have a decorative element. The decorative element can be a print or a structure, for example. This decorative element can also be a foil. Hot stamping can also be provided, by means of which such a decorative element is applied.

It can be provided that the slider 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. An undesired movement of the slider from one of the two positions set in this regard is prevented as a result. For example, if the shell is moved, in particular suddenly, because a user pulls it out or pushes it in, an undesired shifting of the slider relative to the shell can be avoided. In this way, it is also possible to prevent the slide from being moved into a position in an undesirable manner and unnoticed by a user when the shell is moved in this way. It can also be avoided that a closed position of the slider is undesirably at least partially changed and thus a partial opening of the food storage container occurs at the ventilation device. Conversely, the same can also be avoided to the effect that an open position of the ventilation device would be closed undesirably. For example, a locking device can be a snap-on device.

This snap-on device is in particular a different connection to the above-mentioned advantageous embodiment of a snap-on connection for mechanically fastening the slider to the shell.

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

A further aspect of the invention relates to a household refrigeration appliance with at least one food storage container according to the present invention or an advantageous embodiment thereof. The household refrigeration appliance can be a refrigerator or a freezer or a fridge-freezer combination appliance. The domestic refrigeration appliance has a housing in which at least one storage space for food is formed. The food storage container can be arranged in the storage space and forms its own closed storage area, in particular when the lid is closed on the shell. The food storage container can in particular be a freshness container in which an individual storage condition, in particular an individual temperature and/or air humidity, can be set.

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

Provision can be made for the domestic refrigeration appliance to have a humidifying device with which the individual air humidity in the food storage container can be adjusted.

The food receiving container can preferably be removed from the receiving space and reinserted and is therefore also a portable or mobile container.

The information “top”, “bottom”, “front”, “back”, “horizontal”, “vertical”, “depth direction”, “width direction”, “height direction” indicates the intended use and intended arrangement of the container or the device given positions and orientations.

In 1 a domestic refrigeration appliance 1 is shown in an exemplary representation, which is embodied as a fridge-freezer combination appliance. The household refrigeration appliance 1 has a body 2 with an inner container 3 . The inner container 3 delimits with its walls a first inner space or receiving space 4, which is a refrigerated space, and a second inner space or receiving space 5, which is a freezer space and is arranged below it by way of example and is separated therefrom. The receiving space 4 is generally used for frost-free cooling of refrigerated goods, preferably at temperatures between +4 °C and +8 °C. However, the receiving space 4 can 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 is open, which closes the receiving space 4 at the front.

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

In the upper receiving space 4, a refrigerated or fresh food container or food storage container is mounted in a pull-out manner, which has a lid 9 and a separate drawer or tray 10 thereto. 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 shelf. The fresh-keeping container represents a food storage container 8 .

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

The food storage container 8 is separated from the remaining partial volume of the storage space 4 at least by the cover 11 .

The food storage container 8 can be removed from the storage space 4 in a detachable manner without destroying it. 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 still stored in the receiving space 4 in order to be able to get into the interior of the shell 10 .

Viewed in the height direction (x-direction), the food receiving container 8 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' may be a food-receiving container 8 in addition to or instead of the food-receiving container 8. Preferably, when the food accommodating container 8 is formed at the position of the container 8', it extends further forward in the depth direction than the container then located directly above.

In 2 is a perspective view of a portion of the household refrigeration appliance 1 is shown, in which the food receptacle 8 is arranged. The complete The food storage container 8 that can be removed from the storage space 4 has a ventilation device 12 . With this ventilation device 12 an exchange of air between the environment and a volume space or an interior 13 of the food receptacle 8 is made possible.

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 . In particular, it is made of plastic. A handle 17 is preferably formed on an upper side 16 of the slide 14, in particular of 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, as is shown in 3 can be seen, a first snap element 19 and in particular a second snap element 20 integrally formed. The snapping members 19 and 20 are formed at outer quarter lengths as viewed in a direction of a longitudinal axis A of the slider 14 extending in the width direction. In particular, they are formed at the ends on 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 bars 21 and 22 are formed integrally with the base part 15 . The two guide webs 21 and 22 extend perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis A. They therefore extend in the depth direction (z-direction). Viewed in the direction of the longitudinal axis A, the guide webs 21 and 22 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-on elements.

In 2 it can be seen that the shell 10 has a front wall 23 . The front wall 23 has an upper edge 24 . In the exemplary embodiment, the upper edge 24 is formed as a surface. In particular, it is a rectangular area. In an advantageous embodiment, the upper edge 24 represents a top cover and thus a top wall of a handle 25. The handle 25 is formed in the front wall 23 in one piece. The handle 25 is in particular, a recessed grip that can be gripped with one hand by reaching from below. The handle 25 is also delimited by a vertical delimiting wall 26 . This vertical boundary wall 26 is a front wall. It adjoins a front edge area 27 of the upper edge 24 . The top edge 24 also has a rear edge portion 28 . In an advantageous embodiment, a recess 29 is formed in this upper edge 24 . The slider 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 so that it can be detached in a non-destructive manner. In particular, it is snapped into the recess 29 .

As in 2 As can be seen, when the shell 10 is in the pushed-in state, 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 uncovered by the slide 14 . This enables appropriate ventilation. In an advantageous embodiment, the slider 14 is snapped onto the upper edge 24 by a snap connection 32 .

In one embodiment, the recess 29 can also not be formed.

The snap elements 19 and 20 engage in counter-snap elements 33 and 34 for snapping. The counter snap elements 33 and 34 are formed on the upper edge 24 . They are designed in particular as holes or openings in the upper edge 24 . As can be seen, these counter-snapping elements 33 and 34 are preferably designed as slots oriented in the depth direction. In this context, they also represent oblong holes. In particular, in an advantageous embodiment, these counter-snapping elements 33 and 34 are also functionally designed as guide links 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 snap 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 thus 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, provision is made for guide channels 37 and 38 to be formed in the upper edge 24 . The guide webs 21 and 22 engage in these guide grooves 37 and 38 from above. This enables a further improved guidance of the slide 14 in its movement relative to the front wall 23 in the state arranged thereon.

If the slide 14 is arranged directly on the shell 10, in particular directly on the front wall 23, in particular directly on the upper edge 24, it 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 slider 14 on the shell 10, an open position of the ventilation device 12 is set. This is the partial perspective view of the food accommodating container 8 in figure 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 area 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 in particular formed with a bevel 39, as is shown in Figures 10 to 13 can be seen. In particular, the front edge 31 is complementarily inclined. As a result, when the ventilation device 12 is in the closed state, an improved closing effect is achieved between the front edge 31 lying against one another and the rear edge region 43 . These therefore overlap in the depth direction.

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

Generally speaking, the slider 14 is not mounted on the cover 9 . At best, it is in direct contact and rests against the front edge 31 when the slide 14 is arranged in the second displacement position.

In 6 1 is a perspective view of the food accommodating container 8 cut in front. The relevant sectional plane is in the xy plane. The cutting plane is as shown in 4 drawn along the cutting line VI-VI. In particular, this sectional plane is drawn in the area of the snap elements 21 and 22 . Therefore, according to the partial representation in 7 the snapped state of the snap element 20 with the counter-snap element 34 is shown. As can be seen, the snap-on element 20 has a vertical hook web 40 . In addition, the snap element 20 has a rear gripping web 41 adjoining the vertical hook web 40 . In particular, the rear gripping web 41 is oriented horizontally. The snap-on element 20 is preferably L-shaped in this sectional plane. As can be seen, in this snapped-in state, the rear gripping web 41 overlaps the upper edge 24 in the width direction. In particular, the rear-gripping web 41 engages behind or below the boundary wall of the upper edge 24 which bounds the counter-snapping 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 7 area I is off 6 shown.

In 8 is in a corresponding representation of area II in 6 shown. In 8 a corresponding design of the snap element 19 can be seen in this context, as has already been explained with regard to the shape and design for the further snap element 20 . As in the illustrations in 7 and 8 can be seen, the snap elements 19 and 20 are arranged in such a way that they face each other with their rear gripping webs 41 and 42 .

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

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

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

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