Description

Les réfrigérateurs et/ou congélateurs dits "intégrables", c'est-à-dire destinés à être placés dans un ensemble de meubles équipant une cuisine par exemple, peuvent être réalisés de façon connue à partir d'armoires frigorifiques dont les dimensions sont adaptées aux logements dans lesquels elles doivent être placées compte-tenu du débattement de la porte de l'armoire à l'ouverture. Une autre porte, semblable à celles des meubles formant l'ensemble, assure la fermeture de ce logement.The so-called "integrable" refrigerators and / or freezers, that is to say intended to be placed in a set of pieces of furniture equipping a kitchen for example, can be produced in a known manner from refrigerated cabinets whose dimensions are adapted to the dwellings in which they must be placed, taking into account the clearance of the cabinet door when it opens. Another door, similar to those of the furniture forming the assembly, ensures the closure of this housing.

Dans un autre exemple de réalisation connu de réfrigérateurs et/ou congélateurs intégrables, il a été prévu, afin d'éviter ces doubles portes (porte de l'armoire frigorifique et porte du logement) de munir la porte de l'armoire frigorifique d'un panneau d'habillage rendu solidaire de celle-ci. Cependant, pour des dimensions classiques d'armoires frigorifiques, la largeur du logement doit être sensiblement supérieure à celle habituellement disponible pour permettre l'ouverture de sa porte compte-tenu de l'épaisseur de l'habillage, du débordement des charnières et du débattement de la porte à l'ouverture. De plus, dans ces exemples de réalisation connus, l'habillage de la porte nécessite un usinage spécial du panneau, ce que représente des frais et une perte de temps pour l'installateur.In another known embodiment of integrable refrigerators and / or freezers, provision has been made, in order to avoid these double doors (door of the refrigerating cabinet and door of the accommodation), to provide the door of the refrigerating cabinet with a covering panel made integral with the latter. However, for conventional dimensions of refrigerated cabinets, the width of the housing must be appreciably greater than that usually available to allow the opening of its door, taking into account the thickness of the casing, the overflow of the hinges and the clearance from the door to the opening. In addition, in these known embodiments, the covering of the door requires special machining of the panel, which represents costs and a waste of time for the installer.

Le document FR-A-2 457 661 divulgue un dispositif de fixation et de réglage en position d'un panneau d'habillage sur une porte qui comprend des éléments de fixation et de réglage du panneau à la porte, aux extrémités supérieure et inférieure de la porte. Ces éléments ne sont pas constitués par des embouts, mais par des cornières et des vis.Document FR-A-2 457 661 discloses a device for fixing and adjusting in position a covering panel on a door which comprises elements for fixing and adjusting the panel to the door, at the upper and lower ends of the door.

L'invention sera mieux comprise et d'autres caractéristiques apparaîtront à l'aide de la description ci-après et des dessins qui l'accompagnent et sur lesquels:

  • La figure 1 représente partiellement une porte de réfrigérateur destinée à recevoir un panneau d'habillage fixé par un dispositif suivant l'invention.
  • La figure 2 représente une vue éclatée du dispositif de fixation et de positionnement d'un panneau d'habillage suivant l'invention.
  • La figure 3 représente un cache destiné à être associé à l'embout inférieur d'une porte de réfrigérateur munie d'un dispositif de contrôle de la température du beurre logé dans la contre- porte, cette porte étant prévue pour être munie d'un panneau d'habillage fixé au moyen du dispositif suivant l'invention.
The invention will be better understood and other characteristics will appear from the following description and the accompanying drawings, in which:
  • Figure 1 partially shows a refrigerator door for receiving a cover panel fixed by a device according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 represents an exploded view of the device for fixing and positioning a covering panel according to the invention.
  • FIG. 3 represents a cover intended to be associated with the lower end piece of a refrigerator door provided with a device for controlling the temperature of the butter housed in the storm door, this door being designed to be provided with a covering panel fixed by means of the device according to the invention.

Dans un exemple de réalisation d'un réfrigérateur suivant l'invention, destiné à être intégré dans un ensemble de meubles, et comportant une porte P prévue pour être équipée d'un panneau d'habillage au moyen du dispositif suivant l'invention, cette porte P, montrée partiellement en figure 1, est obtenue à partir d'un élément 1 profilé en tôle sur lequel est adaptée intérieurement une contreporte 2 de type connu, et des joints 3 d'étanchéité. Les parties supérieure et inférieure de la porte P présenent des évidements 4 prévus pour recevoir respectivement des embouts 5 du dispositif de fixation et de réglage du paneau d'habillage suivant l'invention tels que montrés en figure 2.In an exemplary embodiment of a refrigerator according to the invention, intended to be integrated into a set of furniture, and comprising a door P intended to be equipped with a covering panel by means of the device according to the invention, this door P, partially shown in FIG. 1, is obtained from a profiled element 1 made of sheet metal on which an inside door 2 of known type is fitted, and seals 3. The upper and lower parts of the door P have recesses 4 provided for receiving respectively end pieces 5 of the device for fixing and adjusting the covering panel according to the invention as shown in FIG. 2.

Dans-cet exemple de réalisation, chacun de ces embouts 5, de forme parallèlépipédique, comprend à ses extrémités des logements 6 prévus pour recevoir la chape mobile de charnières du type à rotation-translation, telle que décrite par exemple dans la demande de brevet français n° 81 23438 de la Demanderesse.In this exemplary embodiment, each of these end pieces 5, of parallelepiped shape, comprises at its ends housings 6 provided for receiving the movable yoke of hinges of the rotation-translation type, such as described for example in French patent application No. 81 23438 of the Applicant.

Trois embrèvements 7 sont ménagés dans les embouts 5 entre les logements 6, pour recevoir des éléments de fixation et de réglage de positionnement d'un panneau 9 d'habillage, comme on le décrira de façon détaillée dans ce qui suit.Three recesses 7 are formed in the end pieces 5 between the housings 6, to receive fixing and positioning adjustment elements of a cover panel 9, as will be described in detail in the following.

Dans un exemple de réalisation du dispositif suivant l'invention, des plaquettes 8 sont fixées dans deux embrèvements 7 méangés au voisinage des extrémités de l'embout 5 supérieur, cette fixation étant réalisée au moyen de vis 15 par exemple, prévues pour traverser des orifices 19 pratiqués dans l'embout .5 et venir se visser dans des trous 16 taraudés de ces plaquettes 8 qui, comme il sera indiqué de façon plus détaillée dans ce qui suit, permettent la fixation et le réglage en position du panneau 9 d'habillage de la porte P.In an exemplary embodiment of the device according to the invention, plates 8 are fixed in two recesses 7 mixed in the vicinity of the ends of the upper nozzle 5, this fixing being carried out by means of screws 15 for example, intended to pass through orifices 19 made in the end piece .5 and come to be screwed into tapped holes 16 of these plates 8 which, as will be indicated in more detail below, allow the fixing and the adjustment in position of the covering panel 9 from door P.

Dans cet exemple de réalisation, une plaquette 8 est fixée dans l'embrèvement 7 central de l'embout 5 inférieur au moyen de vis 15, de la façon indiquée précédemment.In this exemplary embodiment, a plate 8 is fixed in the central recess 7 of the lower nozzle 5 by means of screws 15, in the manner indicated above.

A la partie supérieure et à la partie inférieure de la face interne de ce panneau 9 d'habillage sont fixées, au moyen de vis 10 par exemple, des plaques-supports 11, en tôle par exemple, munies chacune de trois languettes 12 perpendiculaires au plan de la plaque-support 11 correspondante. Chacune des languettes 12 présente un trou taraudé 13.At the upper part and at the lower part of the internal face of this covering panel 9 are fixed, by means of screws 10 for example, support plates 11, in sheet metal for example, each provided with three tongues 12 perpendicular to the plane of the corresponding support plate 11. Each of the tongues 12 has a tapped hole 13.

Au moment du montage du panneau 9 d'habillage sur la porte P, les languettes 12 des plaques-supports 11 supérieure et inférieure sont introduites dans les embrèvements 7 de l'embout 5 correspondant.When mounting the covering panel 9 on the door P, the tongues 12 of the upper and lower support plates 11 are introduced into the recesses 7 of the corresponding end piece 5.

Chacune des deux languettes 12 d'extrémité de la plaque-support 11 supérieure est rendue solidaire de la plaquette 8 correspondante fixée sur l'embout 5, au moyen d'une vis 14 traversant un trou lisse 18 de la plaquette 8 et venant se visser dans le trou taraudé de la languette 12.Each of the two tabs 12 at the end of the upper support plate 11 is made integral with the corresponding plate 8 fixed on the end piece 5, by means of a screw 14 passing through a smooth hole 18 in the plate 8 and coming to be screwed in the threaded hole of the tongue 12.

Et c'est la languette 12 centrale de la plaque-support 11 inférieure qui est rendue solidaire de la plaquette 8, fixée dans l'embrèvement 7 central de l'embout 5 inférieur, au moyen d'une vis 14 traversant le trou lisse 18 de la plaquette 8 et venant se visser dans le trou 13 taraudé de la languette 12. Le panneau 9 d'habillage est donc fixé sur la porte P, par l'intermédiaire des embouts 5, au moyen de trois languettes 12 et des trois vis 14 qui leur sont respectivement associées (deux vis 14 à la partie supérieure et une vis 14 àl a partie inférieure du panneau 9) qui permettent le positionnement vertical et horizontal du panneau 9, les plaquettes 8 pouvant par ailleurs être déplacées transversalement dans les embrèvements 7, les orifices 19 qu'elles traversant étant ovales.And it is the central tongue 12 of the lower support plate 11 which is made integral with the plate 8, fixed in the central recess 7 of the lower end piece 5, by means of a screw 14 passing through the smooth hole 18 of the plate 8 and coming to be screwed into the threaded hole 13 of the tongue 12. The covering panel 9 is therefore fixed to the door P, by means of the end pieces 5, by means of three tongues 12 and three screws 14 which are respectively associated with them (two screws 14 at the upper part and a screw 14 at the lower part of the panel 9) which allow the vertical and horizontal positioning of the panel 9, the plates 8 being able moreover to be moved transversely in the recesses 7 , the orifices 19 which they pass through being oval.

Lorsque la porte P est équipée de son panneau 9 d'habillage convenablement positionné ver- ticallement et horizontalement, des caches 17 munis de clips sont adaptés sur les embouts 5 de façon à venir masquer les vis 15 et 14 de fixation et de réglage ainsi que les logements 6 inoccupés prévus pour les charnières.When the door P is equipped with its covering panel 9 suitably positioned vertically and horizontally, covers 17 provided with clips are adapted on the end pieces 5 so as to hide the screws 15 and 14 for fixing and adjustment as well as unoccupied housing 6 provided for the hinges

Il est à remarquer que les embouts 5 sont glissés partiellement dans les évidements 4 situés aux exrémités supérieure et inférieure de la porte P de telle sorte que les embrèvements 7 et les logements 6 restent dégagés et que ces embrèvements 7 puissent recevoir les languettes 12 correspondantes. D'autre part, les plaques-supports 11 seront fixées sur le panneau 9 d'habillage, dans une position telle que ce panneau 9 vienne masquer à la fois les embrèvements 7 et les logements 6 prévus pour les charnières.It should be noted that the end pieces 5 are partially slid into the recesses 4 located at the upper and lower ends of the door P so that the recesses 7 and the housings 6 remain free and that these recesses 7 can receive the corresponding tongues 12. On the other hand, the support plates 11 will be fixed on the covering panel 9, in a position such that this panel 9 comes to hide both the recesses 7 and the housings 6 provided for the hinges.

Dans le cas d'une porte P équipant un réfrigérateur suivant l'invention, muni d'un système de contrôle de la température du beurre placé dans un compartiment (non visible sur les figures) de la contre-porte 2, un cache 29 spécial, tel que montré en figure 3, est prévu pour être placé sur l'embout 5 de la partie inférieure de la porte P.In the case of a door P equipping a refrigerator according to the invention, provided with a butter temperature control system placed in a compartment (not visible in the figures) of the door 2, a special cover 29 , as shown in Figure 3, is intended to be placed on the nozzle 5 of the lower part of the door P.

Ce cache 29 comporte, à l'une de ses extrémités, une ouverture 22 permettant le passage de fils électriques 20 reliés à une charnière 21 prévue pour le raccordement électrique du circuit d'alimentation au circuit électrique su système de contrôle de la température du compartiment à beurre, comme décrit et représenté dans la demande de brevet n° 82 03734 de la Demanderesse par exemple, des moyens étant prévus pour la fixation de la partie mobile de cette charnière 21 sur la chache 29 (une vis 23 par exemple).This cover 29 comprises, at one of its ends, an opening 22 allowing the passage of electrical wires 20 connected to a hinge 21 provided for the electrical connection of the supply circuit to the electrical circuit of the compartment temperature control system butter, as described and shown in patent application No. 82 03734 of the Applicant for example, means being provided for fixing the movable part of this hinge 21 on the chain 29 (a screw 23 for example).
