Definitions

• Refrigerated goods carrier for a refrigeration device for a refrigeration device
• the present invention relates to a refrigerated goods for a refrigeration appliance, in particular a household refrigerator, with a horizontally mounted in the refrigerator plate on which various items to be chilled can be placed in the depth direction, lateral walls of the plate enclosing strips and at least one bow below the Plate is arranged pivotally.
• a bracket In a projecting position from the plate, such a bracket can serve for the horizontal storage of bottles or other similar shaped refrigerated goods; when not in use, it can be pivoted in a position parallel to the plate to take up as little space in the refrigerator.
• Such a refrigerated goods carrier is known for example from WO 98/05 910.
• the strips enclosing the lateral edges of the plate are here part of a frame which surrounds the plate on four sides.
• a U-shaped structure in plan view with two clamped in the depth direction below the plate forth legs clamped, wherein two hinged arms are suspended from each other on the legs.
• these legs reduce the height of a compartment delimited upwards by the refrigerated goods carrier and thus make it more difficult to use. It would therefore be desirable to be able to remove the structure with the swivel brackets when not in use for a long time.
• Object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerated goods with a suspended bottle cage, in which the bottle holder only minimally affects the use of a compartment below the refrigerated goods when not in use.
• the object is achieved by arranged at a refrigerated goods for a refrigeration device, in particular a household refrigeration device, with a storage level, extending in the depth direction of the storage plane, lateral edges of the storage level forming strips and at least one pivotally mounted under the shelf bracket, bearings on the strips in which the bracket is pivotally held.
• a conventional, suspended under the shelf level structure thus completely eliminated, and there is no off the lateral edges of the storage level extending below the shelf levels, which complicate the use of the underlying space.
• At least one support bracket extends when not in use in a direction parallel to the storage plane orientation. In this orientation, however, the bracket does not reach down as far as a strip in which a bearing for the bracket is housed. Although extending along the lateral edges of the plate strips must extend far enough down to order it bearings for the bracket can, but these strips affect the usability of the space below the storage level little, as they are when the refrigerated goods in a
• Refrigeration unit is installed, located in the immediate vicinity of the side walls.
• the storage level is formed as a plate, which are bordered in the depth direction extending lateral edges with strips.
• the bearings may in particular comprise recesses in mutually facing flanks of the strips, in each of which a journal of the bracket engages.
• the journal may be hook-shaped angled at its distal end to form the protruding element;
• the protruding element can also be mounted axially immovably on the journal, for example in the form of a bracket or a snap ring, which engages in a circumferential groove of the axle journal, or a pin inserted into a diametrical bore of the axle journal.
• the bracket can be easily and inexpensively bent in one piece from a wire.
• At least one bearing of each strip is formed in an adapter latched to the strip.
• the refrigerated goods carrier can be easily adapted to the storage of bottles of different dimensions. Such an adjustment may be made by the user if there are multiple discrete attachment points for the adapter to choose from on a bar.
• a single attachment point in particular in the form of an opening in the strip, can only be created in each case where an adapter is actually to be mounted. This allows a manufacturer to manufacture refrigerated goods carriers adapted to the storage of different bottle formats in a large number of variants with minimal tooling and cost.
• each adapter has a fixed and an elastic hook, which engage at opposite edges of one of the openings.
• the fixed hook can form an axis of rotation about which the bracket is pivoted into the opening upon engagement of the elastic hook.
• one of the hooks of each adapter may be wider than the one edge of one of the openings on which the other hook of the adapter engages.
• the two recesses are preferably bounded on their sides facing each other by sloping flanks, so that in each case during pivoting of the bracket from one of its locking positions out a deformation resistance must be overcome, which fixes the bracket, as long as no external force acts in the locked position.
• the second recess is expediently delimited by an edge parallel to the pivot axis, in order to pivot the bracket beyond the position protruding from the plate
• FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a refrigerated goods according to the invention.
• Fig. 3 is a rear view of an adapter
• Fig. 4 is a section through a bar, an adapter and a thereto
• FIG. 5 shows a section analogous to FIG. 4 according to a modified section
• FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a refrigerated goods carrier, which is provided in a manner known per se to the person skilled in the art and as described, for example, in DE 20 304 564 U1 for installation in a refrigeration appliance.
• the refrigerated goods carrier comprises an in
• the inner cavity of the lower portion 5 is filled at least at its front and rear ends by a plastic body 7.
• a plastic body 7 At the rear ends of the profiles 3 7 ends of a wire clip 8 are inserted into the plastic body, of which extends a central portion along the rear edge of the glass plate 1 above it, thus forming a railing, which prevents placed on the glass plate 1 Refrigerated material is pushed up to the rear wall of the refrigerator housing and it freezes.
• Extruded profiles 3 are each mounted two adapters 9 made of plastic. The two mounted on a same extruded profile 3 adapter 9 are equal to each other and mirror images of the adapters 9 on the other extruded profile 3. Each two adapters 9 together hold a one-piece molded from a stiff wire
• Bottle Tray Brackets 12 each include one or more sheets 24 sized to seat a bottle therein and axle journals 25 angled outwardly from the outer sheets 24.
• the adapter 9 has a base plate 10, which is mounted in a vertical orientation on the outside of a flank 26 of the lower portion 5 of the profile 3.
• a in the width direction of the glass plate 1 extending groove 1 1 at the upper edge of the base plate 10 is provided to serve as a bearing for a journal 25 of a bottle carrier bracket 12.
• the groove 1 1 extends on the one hand to a root portion 13 of the adapter 9, which engages in the assembled state in an opening 14 of the profile 3, and on the other hand passes continuously over into a downwardly directed groove 15 on the outside of the base plate 10.
• the groove 15th is provided to receive a leg of the bottle carrier bracket 12 in its shown in Fig. 1, protruding from the glass plate 1 position.
• Recesses 4 is lost. If necessary, openings 14 can also be produced, in particular by milling, which do not overlap with the recesses 4.
• a recess 16 extends at the upper edge of the base plate 10 along the groove 11 forward; it takes up the leg of the bracket 12 when it is pivoted forward relative to the perspective of Fig. 1 in a position parallel to the glass plate 1 position.
• the groove 15 and the recess 16 have adjacent inclined flanks 17, 18, which the bracket 12 can easily pass under a slight elastic deformation.
• a flank 19 at the back of the groove 15 is oriented parallel to the pivot axis of the bracket 12 defined by the groove 11, so that when in the protruding position of FIG. 1, a rearward force acts on the bracket 12, the flank 19th pivoting of the bracket 12 is blocked to the rear, instead of like the flanks 17, 18 to elastically deform the bracket 12 and let it pass in the deformed state.
• the opening 14 of the extruded profile 3 has the shape of two intersecting rectangles, a larger, which receives the root portion 13, and a smaller, in which a fixed hook 20 of the adapter 9 engages.
• an elastic latching hook 21 is formed on a side remote from the fixed hook 20 of the root portion 13, which engages in the mounted state at an edge 22 of the opening 14, which the the fixed hook 20 behind the engaged edge 23 is opposite.
• the openings 14 in the two opposing extruded profiles 3 are arranged in mirror image to each other, that is, in both of the narrower edge 23 is directed forward and the wider edge 22 to the rear. So it is impossible to mistake one for to assemble the extruded profile 3 on the right side of the glass plate 1 provided adapter 9 in an opening 14 of the left extruded profile 3 and vice versa.
• the rigidity of the bracket 12 can be chosen so large that even in the fully loaded state, the deformation of the bracket 12 remains so small that the axle pin 25 can not be pulled out of the groove 11 out.
• a disadvantage of this solution is that it also requires a large amount of force on the part of the user if he wants to remove the bracket 12 during prolonged disuse from the refrigerator and tries to extract the journal 25 from the groove 11.
• a circumferential groove is formed at a distal end of the axle journal 25, on which a snap ring 27 is pushed.
• the snap ring 27 secures the journal 25 against withdrawal from the groove 11, even if the bracket
• Fig. 5 shows an alternative embodiment in which at the distal end of the journal 25, a short hook 29 is bent.
• a cavity kept clear in which the hook 29 extends downward when the bracket 12 is in the protruding from the plate 1 position.
• the distance between the hook 29 and the outside of the adapter 9 is large enough so that the hook 29 does not block a pivoting of the bracket 12 in the position parallel to the plate 1 position.
• the groove 1 1 is here significantly higher than wide, so that the hook 29, the groove 11 can happen when the bracket 12 is raised in the protruding orientation, as illustrated in the figure with reference to a dashed outline of the bracket 12.
• the recess 16 is here higher than the bottom of the groove 1 1, so that when the bracket 12 is in the direction parallel to the plate 1 orientation, the journal 25 of the bracket 12 is lifted from the bottom of the groove 11 and at the bottom of a plate 1 enclosing leg 30 of the extruded profile 3 is applied.
• the distance of the bracket 12 to the panel 1 in the parallel orientation is minimized, and almost unlimited usability of the space under the panel 1 is ensured even when the bracket 12 remains mounted in the parallel orientation.
