Description

The refrigerator

Technical area

The invention relates to a refrigerator in order to store various products in the cooled or frozen state.

State of the art

Refrigerators are known which have a thermally insulated drawer for storing refrigerated or frozen food in the lower area. Access to it does not have to be done through a thermally insulated door on the front of the refrigerator. The drawer is rather accessible directly from the front of the refrigerator and can be opened by simply pulling out. This type of drawers are accessible in a very simple manner, since they can be loaded and unloaded in contrast to a closed by a door interior from above.

From the prior art DE 10 2007 048 575 A1 is a refrigerator with a

Drawer known, wherein the height of the rear wall of the drawer is less than the height of the front of the drawer. In the upper area of the drawer is a

Inner drawer, which can be moved across the rear wall of the drawer. When the inner drawer is pulled out, the view of the goods underneath is obstructed because the inner drawer extends over the entire width of the drawer.

From the document US 2,711,944 is a refrigerator with two superimposed

arranged drawers known. Wrd the top of the two drawers

pulled out, one has access to another, arranged inside the upper drawer inner drawer. Next to the inside drawer is an icebox. The contents of the icebox are only from the front, not from the top or from the side accessible, so you may need to take some of the goods out of the freezer compartment to see what's in the back of the freezer compartment. Pulling out the lower of the two drawers gives access to an inner drawer that extends across the entire width of the drawer. If you pull this inner drawer out, the view of the goods underneath is blocked. This solution thus has the same disadvantage as the embodiment described in the document DE 10 2007 048 575 A1.

Another disadvantage of the prior art is that the storage space available for the products to be cooled is not adaptable to the personal needs of the user. If, for example, a number of bottles are to be stored horizontally in the refrigeration device, it is advantageous if the distribution of the storage space is different than if many small products or the bottles are to be stored upright. The previously known refrigerators offer little or no flexibility. The user is responsible for the division of the manufacturer specified by the manufacturer of the refrigeration appliance

Storage space bound.

Presentation of the invention

An object of the invention is to provide a cooling device in which the disadvantages of the prior art are avoided and in which a high flexibility in the distribution of the available storage space is ensured. The object is achieved by a cooling device with the features according to claim 1.

The refrigerator according to the invention comprises a drawer and various

Inside drawers. In the upper part of the interior of the refrigerator is a

Drawer suspension provided which is adapted to accommodate any of the various inner drawers. In addition, it is provided that the arranged on the drawer suspension inner drawer over the drawer rear wall away is slidable. Advantageous developments of the invention will become apparent from the features indicated in the dependent claims.

It is advantageous if in the refrigeration device according to the invention the

Drawer suspension for the inner drawers can be fixed in different places. As a result, the distances of the drawer suspensions can be adapted to the widths of the inner drawers. This further increases the flexibility in the distribution of the storage space. In one embodiment of the invention, extracts are provided for the drawer, which are designed as full extension. This allows the drawer to be pulled out completely and the user can grasp the entire contents of the drawer at a glance. In a further embodiment of the invention, the drawer suspension for at least one of the inner drawers is designed as a full extension.

In an additional embodiment of the refrigerator according to the invention one of the inner drawers is wider than the other inner drawer.

In a further embodiment of the refrigerator according to the invention at least one of the inner drawers is designed as a wine tray.

In another refinement of the refrigerator according to the invention, at least one of the inner drawers has a bottom which is stepped.

In addition, it can be provided in the refrigerator according to the invention that at least one of the inner drawers has a transparent front. In addition, it can be provided in the refrigerator according to the invention that at least one of the inner drawers is designed as a glass baking tray.

In the refrigerator according to the invention was also provided that a lid is provided with a rear wall and oblique side walls. The drawer points also sloping drawer side walls. The rear wall of the lid acts with the drawer rear wall and the side walls of the lid interact with the

Drawer side walls sealing together.

Ways to carry out the invention

Figure 1 shows a possible embodiment of the refrigerator according to the invention in the side view in the partially opened state. Figure 2 shows the refrigeration device in plan view also in the partially open state. In Figure 3, the refrigerator is shown in a three-dimensional view, wherein the lower part of the body is not shown. The refrigerator has a drawer 1, which can be pulled out of the body of the refrigerator to the front. The drawer 1 is for this purpose guided with two extensions 13, wherein the one is fixed to a left side wall of the body and the other to a right side wall of the body (these side walls of the body are not shown in the figures). Thus, the drawer 1 can be completely pulled out of the body, the extracts 13 are preferably formed as full-length extensions. But this is not absolutely necessary. At the bottom, the body is bounded by a bottom 15 and upwardly by a lid 3. The lid 3 comprises a cover plate 3.1 and a rear wall 3.2 and a left side wall 3.3 and a right side wall 3.4. The rear wall 3.2, the left side wall 3.3 and the right side wall 3.4 are preferably made of a thermally insulating material. If necessary, the rear wall 3.2, the left side wall 3.3, the right side wall 3.4 and the

Cover plate 3.1 be a one-piece molding. Instead, the rear wall 3.2, the left side wall 3.3, the right side wall 3.4 and the cover 3.1 also be separate components which are glued together, welded or otherwise connected to each other. The rear wall 3.2 of the lid 3 extends, as can be seen in Figure 1, not to the bottom 15. In order to close the opening between the rear wall 3.2 and the bottom 15, a body rear wall 14 is provided.

The drawer 1 is closed to the front by a drawer front 1.1 and down through a drawer bottom 1.2. Left and right, the drawer 1 is limited by drawer side walls 1.4 and 1.5 and to the rear by a drawer rear wall 1.3. The drawer rear wall 1.3 has a lower height than the

Drawer front 1.1. At the drawer front 1.1, as shown in Figure 1, a handle 4 may be attached.

The drawer front 1.1, the drawer side walls 1.4 and 1.5, the drawer bottom 1.2 and the drawer rear wall 1.3 are preferably made of a thermal

made of insulating material.

The drawer side walls 1.4 and 1.5 are inclined at a certain angle and are higher at the front than at the back. The side walls 3.3 and 3.4 of the lid 3 extend obliquely in the same Wnkel. When closed, the drawer 1 together with the lid 3 forms a thermally sealed unit. In this case, the need

Rear wall 14 of the body should not be thermally insulated.

In this way, the interior of the refrigerator is thermally insulated from the outer space and forms a suitable storage space for storage of refrigerated or frozen goods.

The interior of the refrigerator is through the drawer front 1.1, the

Drawer bottom 1.2, the drawer rear wall 1.3, the two drawer side walls 1.4 and 1.5 and the lid 3 limited.

In the embodiment shown in Figure 1 is provided that also the upper end side of the drawer rear wall 1.3 is chamfered under the same Wnkel as the two drawer side walls 1.4 and 1.5. Also the lower end face of the rear wall 3.2 of the lid 3 is chamfered at the same angle as the two side walls

3.3 and 3.4.

In the thermally insulated interior there are also two inner drawers 2 and 5, which can also be used for the storage of refrigerated or frozen food.

The left inner drawer 2 has a front 2.1, a bottom 2.2, a rear wall 2.3, a left side wall 2.4 and a right side wall 2.5. In the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 3, the rear part of the inner drawer 2 is lower than the front part. This results in the bottom 2.2 a paragraph 2.6. The rear, deeper part of the

Inner drawer 2 can be used to accommodate higher refrigerated goods, such as small bottles and large yogurt cups.

The right inner drawer 5 is similar to the left inner drawer 2 constructed. It has a front 5.1, a bottom 5.2, a rear wall 5.3, a left side wall 5.4 and a right side wall 5.5. The rear part of the inner drawer 5 is lower than the front part. This results in the bottom 5.2 a paragraph 5.6.

Each of the inner drawers 2 and 5 rests on a drawer suspension 12. Die

Drawer suspension 12 and the inner drawers 2 and 5 are coordinated so that the inner drawers 2 and 5 safe from the respective

Drawer suspension can be worn and also easy and fast

removed and replaced if necessary by other interior drawers. In the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 3, the right inner drawer 5 is narrower than the left inner drawer 2 is formed. Thus, the left inner drawer 2 takes about 2/3 and the right inner drawer about 1/3 of the total available width. However, this division of the width is not mandatory. The two inner drawers 2 and 5 can also be arranged reversed. It is also possible to make the two inner drawers the same width or the one

Inner drawer to make deeper and / or longer than the other. The depth of the two inner drawers 2 and 5 is dimensioned so that they fit into the drawer 1. Thus, the drawer 1 can be moved independently of the two inner drawers 2 and 5, the drawer rear wall 1.3 ends just below the bottom 2.2 of the inner drawer 2 and the bottom 5.2 of the inner drawer 5. In this way, the drawer 1 under the two inner drawers 2 and 5 be moved without this having an effect on the inner drawers 2 and 5. When the drawer 1 is opened, the inner drawer 2 can be moved across the drawer rear wall 1.3. The same applies analogously to the inner drawer 5.

In one embodiment, the two inner drawers 2 and 5 are pulled out together with the drawer 1. For the user, the content of the two inner drawers 2 and 5 is then immediately visible. The two inner drawers 2 and 5 can then be pushed back one by one or simultaneously if necessary. Thereafter, the contents of the drawer 1 can be seen for the user. In a further embodiment, the two inner drawers 2 and 5 remain closed, that is in the body, when the drawer 1 is pulled out. In this way, the contents of the drawer 1 is immediately visible to the user. The two

Inner drawers 2 and 5 can then be withdrawn, if necessary, one after the other or simultaneously. Thereafter, the contents of the two inner drawers 2 and 5 can be seen for the user.

FIG. 4 shows the refrigerator according to FIG. 3 in a three-dimensional view in the partially opened state, the left inner drawer 2 having been removed. As a result, the storage space in the drawer 1 is larger by the volume that has previously occupied the left inner drawer 2. Now, for example, large bottles can be placed in the drawer 1 in the left area of the drawer 1. On the right side is still the right inner drawer 5. The suspension of the two inner drawers 2 and 5 is designed so that the inner drawers 2 and / or 5 can be removed at any time. The inner drawers can also be easily replaced by other inner drawers. No one needs it

Modification of the drawer suspension. In addition, it can be provided that the two inner drawers 2 and 5 are arranged vice versa. This gives the user a high degree of flexibility, and he can decide at any time how he wants to divide up the entire storage space. Figure 5 shows the refrigerator in a three-dimensional view in the partially open state. In this embodiment, the left inner drawer 2 comprises a carrier which has, for example, the shape of a frame. The carrier will be on the

Drawer suspension set. In him, for example, a glass baking tray 6 can be used. As already mentioned, the inner drawer with the glass baking tray 6 can be pulled out independently of the inner drawer 5. Subsequently, the glass baking tray 6 can be taken out. In Figure 6, the refrigerator is shown in a three-dimensional view in the partially open state. From the body of simplicity, only the lid 3 is shown. In this embodiment, the left inner drawer 2 is formed as a bottle carrier 7, on the example, wine bottles can be stored. The

Inner drawer with the bottle carrier 7 can be pulled out independently of the inner drawer 5. The user has after removing the respective inner drawer free access their content.

Figure 7 shows the refrigeration device again in a three-dimensional view, now only the inner drawer with the bottle carrier 7 is partially pulled out. As a result, the user sees what is in the right part of the drawer 1 and what is in the left front area of the drawer 1. The drawer 1 contains two adjustable in their position dividers 1 1 and 16. These can be formed, for example, as partitions. FIG. 8 again shows the embodiment according to FIGS. 6 and 7. The body is omitted. Both inner drawers are closed. This releases the user of the overview of the entire content of the drawer 1. In the drawer 1, various containers 8, 9, 10 may be arranged. The container 8 has higher side walls than the two containers 9 and 10, which can serve for example for the storage of bottles. In addition, only the partition 1 1 can be arranged in the drawer 1, which can push the user back and forth depending on needs or use it at different points. Figure 9a shows the lid 3 of the refrigerator and the two front closed

Interior drawers 2 and 5 in a three-dimensional view. This structure of

Interior drawers 2 and 5 corresponds to the structure shown in Figures 1 to 3. Figure 9b shows the lid 3 of the refrigerator and the two inner drawers 2 and 5 in a three-dimensional view, the left inner drawer is designed as a wine tray. This structure of the inner drawers 2 and 5 corresponds to the structure shown in Figures 6 to 8. The left inner drawer is open at the front. In Figure 9c, the lid 3 of the refrigerator and the two inner drawers 2 and 5 are shown in a three-dimensional view, wherein the left inner drawer is formed as a glass trough or is adapted to receive the glass trough. This structure of

Inner drawers 2 and 5 corresponds to the construction shown in FIGS. The left inner drawer 2 is open at the front.

Figure 9d shows the lid 3 and the right inner drawer 5 of the refrigerator in a three-dimensional view, the left inner drawer has been removed. This structure corresponds to the structure shown in FIG. As can be seen from FIGS. 9a to d, the insert in the inner drawers can be exchanged or the inner drawers can be exchanged.

The foregoing description of the embodiments according to the present invention is for illustrative purposes only, and not for the purpose of limiting the invention. Various changes and modifications are possible within the scope of the invention without departing from the scope of the invention and its equivalents. For example, the individual features of those shown in Figures 1 to 9

Embodiments of the cooling device can also be combined with one another in a manner other than shown in the figures. For example, the inner drawers can also be reversed, of different heights, wide and / or deep. LIST OF REFERENCE NUMBERS
