Still a further aim of this invention is to provide a directing element which is intended to prevent abrupt lifting and lowering movements of moving elements during the movement.
Household good Directing element (1) Carrier (2) Moving element (3) Protrusion (5) Recession (5') Upper channel (6) Lower channel (6') Curve (7) Joint area (8) Arm (10) Space (10') Inlet Channel (11) Positioning Part (13) End part (14, 14') Control part (15) Fixing bolt (16)
a directing element which developed for the height adjustment of carriers, used in the household goods, within the said good, is disclosed.
moving elements On the edges of the carrier, which is intended to be placed in the directing element, moving elements, which ensure the adjustment of the height of the carrier by moving inside the directing element, are located.
household good is illustrated as a cooler device and the carrier is illustrated as a shelf of the cooler device on which food products are stored.
the directing element (1) of the invention is fixed to at least one wall of inner body of the exemplary household good (C) shown in Figure 1 .
At least one moving element (3) (shown in the form of a wheel in the accompanying figures) is located on the exemplary carrier (2) shown in Figure 2 (said carrier can be in the form of a shelf, rack, tray or basket).
said carrier can be in the form of a shelf, rack, tray or basket.
Said directing element (1) comprises at least one upper channel (6) inclined upwards and at least one lower channel (6') inclined downwards. One each end of these channels (6, 6') is connected to each other at the joint area (8). A curve (7) in which the moving element (3) is seated is provided on at least one of these channels (6, 6').
the carrier (2) can be placed into the good (C) by means of at least one inlet channel (11) located in the directing element (1)).
the directing element (1) shown in Figure 3 comprises at least one arm (10) supporting the movement of the moving element (3) between the channels (6, 6').
the arm (10) is fixed by a fixing bolt (16) at one end and angularly rotates around the axis of the said fixing bolt (16).
the movement and the angle of the arm (10) is controlled by means of at least one positioning part (13) located on the directing element (1).
the positioning part (13) shown in detail in Figure 5 is linked to one end of the arm (10) by means of at least one control part (15) (the control part (15) can be in a flexible form).
the said control part (15) adjusts the angle of the arm (10) by preventing the free movement of the arm (10).
at least one end (14, 14') of the positioning part (13) is extended over the upper channel (6) or the lower channel (6') in accordance with the position of the arm (10).
At least one protrusion (5) is provided on the positioning part (13), a different view of which is shown in Figure 6 .
the said protrusion (5) is inserted into a recession (5') located on the directing element (1) (in another embodiment of the positioning part (13), recession can be located on the positioning part (13) and protrusion on the directing element (1)).
recession can be located on the positioning part (13) and protrusion on the directing element (1).
the positioning part (13) can move from one channel (6, 6') to the other channel (6, 6').
the other end (14, 14') of the part (13) can reach the other channel (6, 6').
the protrusion (5) located on this part (13) is inserted to another recession (5') located on the directing element (1).
the position of the positioning part (13) is fixed.
the control part (15), linking the positioning part (13) and the arm (10), is seated in at least one space (10') on the said end of the arm (10).
the position of the arm (10) is controlled only by the movement of the positioning part (13).
the control part (15) which is settled to the space (10') on the said end of the arm (10) is linked to the positioning part (13), it is provided that the position of the arm (10) is changed only by the movement of the positioning part (13).
the control part (15), as well as being in a single piece with the positioning part (13), can also be hot-plug.
the arm (10) When the moving element (3) is placed to the directing element (1), the arm (10) is at a position so as to close the end of the lower channel (6') linked with the joint area (8) as shown in Figure 3 .
one end (14) of the positioning part (13) In this position of the arm (10), one end (14) of the positioning part (13) is at a position extending towards the upper channel (6).
the moving element (3) moves in the upper channel (6), it pushes the positioning part (13) to the lower channel (6') by the pressure it applies on the end (14) extending towards this channel (6), thus, the control part (15) changes the angle of the arm (10). Therefore, the arm (10) gets such a position that it closes the end of the upper channel (6) linked with the joint area (8) (shown in Figure 4 ).
the other end (14') of the positioning part (13) moved to the lower channel (6) gets such a position that it extends towards the lower channel (6').
the moving element (3) is placed into the curve (7) located on the upper channel (6), the height of the carrier (2) is increased.
the moving element (3) situated on the curve (7) located on the upper channel (6) is directed towards the joint area (8).
the arm (10) which is positioned in such a way that it closes the end of the upper channel (6) linking to the joint area (8), can flexibly move on the axis of the fixing bolt (16) due to the pressure the moving element (3) has on it.
the control part (15) linked to an end of the arm (10) works as a spring and supports the arm (10) in the said flexibility movement and makes the said end of the upper channel (6) to get back to the closed position.
the moving element (3) removed from the upper channel (6) with this flexibility movement comes to the joint area (8) and the arm (10) stays at that position in which it closes the said end of the upper channel (6). Since the end of the lower channel (6') linking to the joint area (8) is open, the moving element (3) located on the joint area (8) moves through the lower channel (6') and pushes positioning part (13) to the upper channel (6) by applying pressure to the end (14') of the positioning part (13) which is extending towards this channel (6'). Thus, the control part (15) changes the angle of the arm (10) by moving it.
the arm (10) closes the end of the lower channel (6') linking the joint area (8) (shown in Figure 3 ) and the other end (14) of the positioning part (13) gets the position extending to the upper channel (6).
the moving element (3) is placed onto the curve (7) located in the lower channel (6), the height of the carrier (2) is decreased.
