Definitions

  • the invention relates to a refrigerator with a heat-insulated housing that can be closed by a door, the door having a door leaf, a circumferential sealing strip on an inner surface of the door leaf for sealing the door on a frame of the housing and a handle movably mounted on the door leaf, one with the Handle connected active arm in a first position, a contact between the sealing strip and the
  • This arm is to make opening the door easier.
  • the door of a door of a refrigeration device has to be opened again shortly after it has been closed, there is a negative pressure in the interior of the refrigeration device due to the cooling of open air, so that there is considerable resistance to opening the door can be overcome.
  • This resistance can be so great that the carelessness of a refrigerator filled with only a few refrigerated items can be impaired if it is handled carelessly.
  • the active arm facilitates the opening of the door in that it can be moved from its first position into the second position protruding beyond the sealing strip by actuating the handle, in which it spreads the door from the frame of the refrigerator.
  • the gap between the frame and the light strip creates a pressure equalization, so that the door can then be opened without any significant resistance.
  • a disadvantage of the construction known from DE 196 52 828 A1 is, however, that it is site-specific. That is, a handle and an active arm of the known construction, which e.g. are intended for attachment to the lower right corner of a door which can be pivoted about an axis running in the area of its left edge, cannot be mounted on the lower left corner if pivoting of the door about an axis in the area of the right edge is desired , This forces the manufacturer to produce two different models of doors, each with a right or left pivot axis, with a matching handle and active arm, and the user of such a device has to choose one of the two variants when buying it.
  • the object of the present invention is to further develop the refrigeration device described above from DE 196 52 828 A1 in such a way that the door can be mounted with a right or left pivot axis as desired, without the door leaf, the handle or the active arm being replaced have to.
  • a pin is preferably used, which is oriented transversely to two essentially parallel, spaced apart planes, in which the handle and the active arm extend.
  • the movement of the handle and the active arm is expediently a pivoting movement, the pin simultaneously forming a pivot axis for this movement.
  • a particularly simple assembly of the handle and the active arm on the door is made possible in that the pin is formed in one piece with the active arm.
  • a simple slot can be formed on the front surface of the door leaf for introducing the handle, and an opening is formed on a side surface of the door leaf adjacent to the slot, through which the active arm can be inserted and connected to the connecting portion of the handle in a rotationally fixed manner via the pin is.
  • a cap is expediently provided.
  • This cap can have a bearing element for the pin in order to stabilize the axis of the pivoting movement.
  • a total of two slots can each be arranged adjacent to the same side surface and mirror-symmetrically to one another.
  • This variant is particularly useful if the side surface is a horizontal side surface, i.e. if the handle is arranged near the upper or lower edge of the door leaf in order to ensure a large distance of the handle from the pivot axis of the door and thus a large lever arm. If the handle is attached to the vertical edge of the door leaf opposite the pivot axis, a slot may be sufficient.
  • the cap can be replaced by a profile element for covering both openings and the respective free slot.
  • the latter is expediently essentially plate-shaped, its tip cooperating with the frame being thickened in order to distribute the force exerted on the frame upon opening over a large area and thus to abrasion limit.
  • Figure 1 is a plan view of the right end portion of an upper side surface of the door panel of a refrigerator according to the invention and on a part of the adjacent housing.
  • FIG. 2 shows a plan view analogous to that of FIG. 1 of the left end region of the upper side surface of a door leaf with a suspension of the door mirror-inverted to FIG. 1; 3 shows a section along the line III-III from FIG. 2;
  • Fig. 4 is an exploded view of the components shown in Fig. 3.
  • Fig. 5 is a front view of the upper area of the refrigerator.
  • the door 1 shows a plan view of a door 1 and the region of the housing 2 of a refrigeration device adjoining it in the region of the upper right corner of the door 1.
  • the door 1 comprises a hollow door leaf 3 filled with a heat-insulating foam material, on the inner surface thereof an elastic sealing strip 4 is attached. In the closed position of the door shown in the figure, the sealing strip 4 bears against the frame 5 of the housing 2, so that the interior of the refrigerator is closed almost airtight.
  • An opening 6 on the upper side surface of the door leaf 3 exposes the inside of it.
  • an active arm 7 made of a solid plastic, which essentially has the shape of a plate, with an approximately rectangular tip 8, of which a flank 9 rests on a plastic pad 10 attached to the frame 5, and a base 11 which is coupled in a rotationally fixed manner to a connecting section 13 of a handle 12 via a pin 23 (see FIG. 4) running perpendicular to the plane of the drawing.
  • This connecting portion 13, which is narrower than the main body of the handle, is inserted through a slot in the front of the door panel 3 inside.
  • a spring 14 exerts a clockwise torque on the handle 12 and the active arm 7 and thus holds them in the first position shown in FIG. 1, in which the tip 8 does not touch the cushion 10 or at most with a negligible pressure.
  • the handle 12 pivots against the force of the spring 14 and thus also rotates the active arm 7, which drives the door 1 away from the frame 5. Since, based on the common pivot axis 15 of the handle 12 and the active arm 7, the arm of the handle 12 is considerably longer than that of the tip 8, a small pulling force exerted by the user is sufficient to pull the door 1 off the frame 5 with a considerably greater force spread out and thus open the door against a negative pressure prevailing inside the refrigerator.
  • an opening 6 ′ analogous to the opening 6 is formed in the upper side surface of the door leaf, in which, as shown in FIG. 2, the handle 12 and the active arm 7 can be mounted in a mirror-image analogous manner.
  • the handle is symmetrical along a horizontal plane parallel to the plane of the drawing, and that the active arm 7 is symmetrical to a plane that runs through its tip 8 and the pivot axis 15.
  • FIG. 3 shows a section through the door leaf 3 along the plane III-III from FIG. 2, and FIG. 4 shows the parts that can also be seen in FIG. 3 in an exploded view.
  • the upper edge of the door leaf 3 is formed by a molded plastic body 20 which has the slot 21 already mentioned on the front side, which receives the connecting section 13 of the handle.
  • This connecting section 13 has a bore 22 with a square cross section.
  • the active arm 7 is formed in one piece with the pin 23 already mentioned with reference to FIG. 1.
  • the pin 23 serves to establish a distance between the two parallel planes in which the active arm 7 and the handle 12 can be rotated.
  • the plane of the knitting arm 7 must lie on the outermost edge of the door leaf 3, so that the knitting arm 7 can press against the frame 5 when it is opened outside the sealing strip 4; that of the handle must lie further to the center of the door leaf 3 in order to enable the pivot axis to be firmly supported.
  • the pin 23 comprises a first, wide cylindrical section 24, on which two radial slots 25 are formed symmetrically to one another, of which only one can be seen in FIG. 4.
  • the slot 25 serves to receive a tip of the spring 14.
  • the first section 24 of the pin 23 is followed by a narrower cylindrical section 26, a section 27 with a square cross section and a cylindrical tip 28.
  • the square section 27 rotatably engages in the bore 22 of the handle 12.
  • the tip 28 is received in a blind hole 29 of the molded body 20 and thus forms a lower bearing point for the pivot axis 15.
  • the opening 6 is closed in Fig. 3 by a cap 30, here in the form of a short angular profile element with a horizontal leg 31 covering the opening 6 and a vertical leg 32.
  • the cap 30 is on the door leaf 3 on the one hand by two plastic plugs 33 which pass through engage two holes of the horizontal leg 1 in complementary holes 34 shown in FIG.
  • the two holes 34 in the vicinity of the opening 6, which does not receive the active arm 7, can be used for anchoring hardware components of the door hinge.
  • Fig. 5 shows the upper area of the refrigerator in a front view.
  • the molded body 20 extends over the entire width of the door leaf 3.
  • Above the handle 12, the vertical leg 32 of the cap 30 can be seen.
  • a slot formed in the right end region of the molded body 20, which could accommodate the handle 12 in the position shown in FIG. 1, is covered by the vertical leg of a second cap 35, which is slightly longer than the vertical leg 32 of the cap 30 to form a closed front section.
  • the door opening aid formed by the handle 12 and the active arm 7 is arranged in the upper edge region of the door. It is obvious that an arrangement in the lower edge area or on a vertical edge is also possible. In the latter case in particular, a single slot can be provided on the door leaf, which, depending on the orientation in which the door leaf is mounted, can come to rest on its right or left edge.
