Definitions

• the present invention relates to a bottle storage cabinet, in particular for the temperature-controlled storage of wine bottles, and a shelf for such a bottle storage cabinet.
• Such bottle storage cabinets are used in particular in the catering industry in order to store high-quality wines and other drinks in the dining room in front of the guests can and at the same time keep them at ideal drinking temperature.
• the shelves of conventional bottle storage cabinets are generally made of plastic or metal, materials that the consumer generally does not associate with the proper or proper storage of high quality wines. Since, as already explained above, a substantial part of the utility value of the wine storage cabinet is based on the free visibility of its content, problems may also arise if the internal design of the wine storage cabinet does not harmonize with the surrounding interior design, which is often planned down to the last detail.
• the object of the invention is therefore a shelf for a bottle storage cabinet with a bearing surface and an edge of the bearing surface final bar, wherein the bar a first profile of a decorative material that extends on a visible side of the bar, and a second profile of a abrasion-resistant material forming an upper end of the bar comprises, or a bottle storage cabinet having at least one such shelf.
• the abrasion resistant material may be a metal such as aluminum or stainless steel. Also plastics come into consideration.
• the decor material can be wood, both natural and simulated.
• the storage area is composed of wooden strips.
• the wood itself has a sufficient load capacity, it is sufficient if the second profile is only a narrow protective upper end of the wooden strip, which does not contribute significantly to the sustainability of the shelf, but essentially serves only to protect against abrasive stress.
• the strips of the bearing surface are expediently fastened to the first profile in this case.
• the decorative material can also be a material selected purely from an aesthetic point of view, which on its own does not have sufficient resilience to be suitable for the production of a shelf made of this material.
• a decorative material may in particular be glass, for example dyed or deposited with a decorative pattern.
• the second profile has expediently larger dimensions than the first to ensure the required load capacity. The bearing surface is then conveniently attached to the second profile.
• the second profile can embrace the first profile to carry it.
• the first profile is locked in a groove of the second profile.
• the locking surface of the bar can have an upwardly open groove in the signs to identify the bottles stored on the shelf can be inserted.
• Such a groove is expediently formed in the metallic second profile.
• FIG. 1 shows a simplified view of a bottle storage cabinet with shelves according to the invention
• FIG. 2 shows a detail of a shelf according to a first embodiment of the invention.
• Fig. 3 is a section through the transverse strip of a shelf according to a second embodiment of the invention.
• the wine storage cabinet shown in Fig. 1 has a body 1, the walls of which are constructed in a conventional manner from an outer shell and a plastic one-piece deep-drawn inner container 2, which delimit a space filled with insulating foam space, and an insulating glazed, transparent door 4th
• a plurality of bottle carriers 3 are suspended, of which only two are shown in FIG.
• the bottle carrier 3 are each composed of a head strip 5 facing the door 4, one of the rear wall 6 of the inner container 2 facing, not visible in the figure head strip and a plurality of between the head strips 5 in the depth direction of the body.
• longitudinal width of a slit 8 between two adjacent longitudinal strips 7 is in each case smaller than the diameter of a bottle to be stored on the support 3; the common width of gap 8 and longitudinal bar 7 is greater than the bottle diameter, so that in the columns 8, each supported on two adjacent longitudinal strips 7, bottles (not shown) can be placed lying.
• longitudinal strips 7 may be narrower than the rest.
• the body 1 further includes a not visible in the figure, known per se chiller for controlling the temperature of the interior.
• Fig. 2 shows a perspective view of a corner of a bottle carrier 3 according to a first embodiment of the invention.
• the head strip 5 is composed of a profile element 9 made of wood, which forms by far the predominant part of the substantially rectangular cross section of the head strip 5.
• a metallic profile element 1 preferably made of aluminum or stainless steel, can be plugged onto the profile element 9 and both profile elements 9, the first 1 adjacent to each other at least on the visible side 10 flush.
• the cross-section of the profile element 11 corresponds to two U-profiles which merge into one another, one with a downwardly open, wide groove which receives the tip of the wooden profile element 9 and an immediately adjacent, narrow, upwardly open groove 12.
• the groove 12 is as shown in Fig. 1, provided to receive plug-in cards 13.
• the side walls of the groove 12 are slightly divergent upwards.
• the longitudinal strips 7 are made of the same wood as the profile element 9 and are attached to the latter in any suitable manner.
• the header, not shown in the figures, facing the rear wall 6 may be a simple wooden strip of rectangular cross section, but it may also have the same cross section as the profile element 9, or it may be identical to the front header 5, so that the bottle carrier 3 also can be installed in the opposite orientation.
• the carrying capacity of the header is essentially contributed by the wooden profile element 9 and the metallic profile element 11 only has the function to protect the wood of the profile element 9 from sanding marks through the bottles and hold the plug-in cards 13, 3 shows a cross section of a modified head strip with a metallic profile element 14, in particular of stainless steel or aluminum, and a non-metallic profile element 15, in which the metallic profile element 14 makes the overwhelming contribution to the carrying capacity.
• the metallic profile element 14 is here a multi-chambered hollow profile, on the visible side of which a large-area groove is formed. In this groove, the non-metallic profile element 15 is engaged or inserted in the longitudinal direction of the bar 5.
• the material of the profile element 15 can be selected substantially solely from an aesthetic point of view become;
• a rigid and brittle material such as mineral glass, or a highly transparent but poorly-durable material, such as acrylic glass, may be used.
• These glasses may be decoratively colored or they may be left clear to allow, as shown in the figure, a cardboard or foil strip 16 clamped between the profiles 14, 15 to be visible, provided with a desired decoration and / or with a label corresponding to those of the plug-in cards 13 is provided.
• the shelf 3 can also according to this second embodiment comprise a composite of several longitudinal strips 7 bearing surface, wherein the (not shown in Fig. 3) strips 7 here preferably made of the same metal or at least with the same surface finish as the profile element 14 and on the Profile element 14 are attached.
