Description

The invention relates to a household refrigerator with an interior for receiving food, which is limited by walls of an inner container. The household refrigerating appliance comprises a food storage container, which is arranged in the interior and can be closed by a lid. Furthermore, a storage device is formed, with which the cover for opening and closing of the fresh food container is mounted in the interior raised and lowered. The storage device can be actuated with a control element.

Such embodiments are known from the prior art. That's how it shows WO 2011/026749 A2 a corresponding refrigerator with a vegetable compartment. A bowl for receiving the vegetables can be introduced into the interior and taken out. This shell can be covered from above by a lid. At obliquely formed upper edges of the shell of the lid is in the closed state. Above the lid, a further plate is arranged, on which a front strip is formed, on which an operating element is movably positioned. The operating element can be displaced parallel to the front strip and is coupled with an inclined guide track in the form of a slot formed in the cover. Depending on this displacement of this slide then takes place a lifting of the lid, which is coupled via a corresponding mechanical coupling with the plate arranged above.

In addition, from the DE 40 40 341 C2 a freshness box with a closable lid known. This box is also used in an interior of a household refrigerator.

In both known from the prior art embodiments, it is provided to store the refrigerated goods introduced therein, for example in the form of vegetables, salads, meat, fruits and the like from undesirable rapid drying out. The problems occurring in the context are already in the DE 40 40 341 C2 adequately explained.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a household refrigerator, in which the operation of the lid can be made user-friendly.

This object is achieved by a household refrigerator, which has the features of claim 1.

An inventive domestic refrigerator comprises an interior for receiving food, which is bounded by walls of an inner container. The household refrigeration appliance moreover comprises a food storage container, which is arranged in the interior, and which can be closed by a lid. The household refrigerating appliance moreover comprises a storage device with which the cover for opening and closing the fresh food container is mounted in the interior liftable and lowerable. The lid can be operated with a control element. An essential idea of the invention can be seen in the fact that a front strip has a movement guiding device for the operating element and the motion guiding device has a carrier plate with lateral guide elements, wherein the operating element has a sliding carriage, which is displaceably guided in the carrier plate. Thus, the control element is arranged on the one hand on the front panel and held there, on the other hand, it can also perform a relative movement relative to the front bar, which is achieved by the motion guide device.

This is also advantageous in that it can be held and supported parallel to the lateral guide elements in the movement of the operating element in a direction so that no jamming or spreading occurs. The straight-line motion control of the operating element, in particular in the case of a push-push actuating mechanism, is particularly favored by such a circumferential lateral guidance. The design with a support plate and a very stable component is created, which can hold the guide elements also stable and can absorb, so that just with this plate-like large-scale design of lateral guide elements and a circumferential receptacle for the control is created.

Preferably, the operating element is designed as a push-push actuating mechanism for moving the lid. Such a configuration makes it possible to perform a very user-friendly operation. For the operating element is also improved in terms of ergonomic and intuitive to be performed movements of a user by this configuration. Especially with respect to the running operator action and the usually existing position of a user in front of the container fresh food by this design of the control element and a direction of movement of a user is advantageously used to exercise the most uniform and directional force to move the control on the control element to the movement to reach the lid.

Especially with a push-push actuating mechanism this is particularly favored. A push-push actuating mechanism is to be understood as meaning that in the case of the operating element possible positions or positions to be taken by a user then always first initiating a motion triggering has to take place, which is oriented in the same direction. This means that both in a first and at a second end position of the operating element for further moving out of this control element from the respective position an operation in each case the same direction must first be carried out to then perform the further movement of the control, in particular automatically or to carry out independently.

This concept of push-push actuating mechanism thus contributes particularly user-friendly for generating the respective motion scenarios of the lid.

It is preferably provided that the operating element has a displacement slide, which is guided displaceably in the support plate. Again, this is a particularly noteworthy embodiment, since thus the control element in its mechanical coupling with the motion guide device is designed in accordance with plate-like and thus reaffirms the advantages mentioned above. As a result, it is also achieved that a very flat construction configuration can be realized by this structure of the sliding carriage and the support plate and yet a very smooth motion control of the two parts is achieved relative to each other.

In particular, it is provided that the operating element has a sliding block, which is guided in a guide slot of the motion guiding device, in particular the carrier plate. Such a design, the push-push mechanism is particularly favored. The coupling between the control element and the motion control device is thereby on the one hand very stable, on the other hand, the motion transmission from the control element to further components up to the final increase and decrease of the lid is very direct and thus fraught with small tolerances and little game.

In particular, it is provided that the guide slot has a first breakpoint for the sliding block and the control element is held in a depressed in the front bar displacement position in the first breakpoint. In this displacement position, the lid is arranged in the open state by the storage device coupled to the operating device. The push-push actuating mechanism is specified by this embodiment by quasi an end position, namely the displacement position of the control element, concretized. In concrete terms, this embodiment of the push-push actuating mechanism thus achieves this first displacement position in the case of a rectilinear movement of the operating element, which is then also retained positionally by the coupling of the sliding block with the guide slot, even if the user releases the operating element , By then in turn given mechanical coupling of the motion guide device with the bearing device and the lid is then held in the open state.

By a very simple operation, namely the rectilinear movement of the control element in one direction in the displacement position is very smooth and virtually allows no play and movement tolerances of the open state of the lid.

In a particularly advantageous manner, the guide slot is designed as a heart curve. This is particularly advantageous in that the operating element in two end positions, namely the already mentioned displacement position on the one hand and a basic position on the other hand can be maintained. By a simple and then for both positions then rectified actuation of the control element, both the basic position can be solved in order to get from this then in the displacement position, which is then automatically held. Again, starting from the displacement position, this displacement position is also solved by a first in the same direction pressing the operating element and the operating element then passes through the movement in the opposite direction from the displacement position to the normal position. Due to the heart curve, this mechanism and the respective setting of the respective positions mentioned are achieved in a particularly simple manner and the respective actuation scenario for a user is guided particularly smoothly and smoothly.

It is preferably provided that the displacement slide is arranged under the support plate of the motion guide device and the guide slot is formed on a sliding carriage facing the underside of the support plate. The sliding block is arranged in particular on an upper side of the sliding carriage. Just when the displacement slide is also formed substantially plate-like and the support plate is present, a quasi-layered structure or a corresponding arrangement of the components can be achieved and provided by the sliding block a simple coupling element. In addition to a very compact and flat design, the mechanical working principle and the respective relative displaceability of said components to each other are thus particularly favored. Since preferably the actuation direction of Operating element, in which it can be moved in a straight line both when operating from the home position in the direction of displacement by a user and can be moved when releasing the displacement position, preferably extending in a plane in which the displacement slide or the support plate extend or in a parallel Level to allow a very simple motion, which can run very smoothly and without splaying or jamming, allows. This favors again significantly the very user-friendly design and operation.

It is preferably provided that on one of the support plate facing away from the underside of the sliding carriage, an engagement region is formed, in which a coupling part engages on an upper side of the lid, so that the lid is movement-coupled to the operating element. As a result, a very robust connection is created, which makes it possible to wear the cover permanently wear-resistant.

In particular, it is provided that the engagement region is formed as a downwardly standing hollow neck. This is characterized mechanically very stable and can take a raised element on top of the lid well, possibly encircle.

In particular, this hollow neck is designed like a fireplace, whereby the above advantages are further improved.

It is preferably provided that the operating element is held biased by a spring in a basic position which is extended forward relative to the front strip and in a displaced position which is pressed into the front strip at least more than in the basic position. The displacement position can be released by pressing the control element against the direction of movement from the displacement position to the basic position and against the spring force. These simple straight-line movements lead to a simple operation for a user.

In particular, it is provided that the operating element has a front-side cap which is connected to the displacement slide. In particular, a non-destructively releasable connection, such as latching, can be provided here. This cap can then be replaced.

Preferably, the actuating direction or the operating direction of the operating element is directed perpendicular to the front panel. In particular, this means that the actuating direction and the longitudinal axis of the front strip are in a horizontal plane and the longitudinal axis and the direction of movement are perpendicular to each other. It is thus achieved by pressing the control element in the horizontal direction into the interior of the movement of the control element.

The operating element is arranged in particular on a front horizontal edge of the front strip and thus also movable in a horizontal direction perpendicular to this front edge.

In particular, the operating element is arranged in its basic position on the front over the front edge of the front panel projecting forward.

In an advantageous embodiment, it is provided that a carrier plate of the motion-guiding device is arranged on a lower side of a cover which extends into the front strip with a front edge. The cover may for example be formed as at least partially transparent plate and may for example be a glass plate or a plastic plate. The movement guide device is thus covered from above by the cover. In particular, the lid is disposed under this cover, wherein a vertical distance between the lid and the cover is such that the lid can raise and lower accordingly to be able to take the open and closed positions easily. Through the cover also a compartment divider and thus a floor for that portion of the interior, which is located directly above the cover, achieved.

It can be provided that the storage device has guide rails which are formed on a frame adjoining the front strip. In particular, the guide rails are then positionally arranged on this frame, that upon actuation of the operating element, a motion is transmitted to the cover such that it is movable along these guide rails and is thus moved relative to the freshness container so that the open or closed state occurs and thus a relative raising or lowering of the lid takes place to the preservation container.

In a particularly advantageous embodiment, it is provided that the storage device is formed externally to the fresh food container and a support frame connected to the front strip. Thus, the direct connection of the lid to achieve lowering or lifting is coupled directly to components that belong to the fresh food container or belong to the control directly receiving front panel with the support frame. The storage device is then very stable attachable in the context and the Motion control of the lid allows very precise and without play and tolerance. On account of relative movements possibly resulting movement inaccuracies that can lead to a blocking or jamming, as this may result in relatively movable components comprising the freshness container and the front strip with the support frame, can be prevented. Just then, even if the control element is arranged on the front strip with the support frame and occurs by a relative movement by pushing the control element in the front bar, such an undesirable tilting or spreading can be prevented in an external arrangement of the storage device.

It is preferably provided that the storage device comprises guide rails, which are formed on opposite inner sides of the inner space bounding vertical side walls. This is a particularly advantageous embodiment, which brings the above advantages especially. In these guide rails engage suspension elements, which are arranged on the lid, and are movable along it. The movement guidance is favored thereby.

It is preferably provided that the guide rails are formed with notches, in which the suspension elements for adjusting the closed state of the lid are arranged. As a result, the closed state is very defined and precisely achieved and also held accordingly. In particular, it is provided that against the notches higher lying support tracks are formed on the guide rails on which rest the suspension elements for adjusting the open state of the lid. The suspension elements are displaceable relative to the actuation of the operating element relative to the guide rails between the notches and the support tracks, whereby the entire cover is correspondingly relatively displaceable.

Preferably, the guide rails are formed as integrally formed on the inner sides of the inner container surveys or bulges. As a result, the number of components is reduced and allows the very exact positional arrangement of the guide rails.

It can be provided that the support webs are rectilinear and horizontally oriented. In such an embodiment, a return from the open state of the lid in the closed state and thus the transferring the positional arrangement of the suspension elements of the support tracks in the notches of the guide rails by an automatic mechanism, such as a spring bias, advantageous.

In a particularly advantageous embodiment, it can be provided that the support webs are oriented obliquely inclined and in particular are oriented obliquely downward sloping downwards towards the front from a rear, closer to a rear wall of the inner container. In such an embodiment, then, after the release of the shift position of the operating element, supported by the weight of the lid movement from an open state of the lid in the closed state, in particular carried out completely automatically. The suspension elements then slide forward along these tracks, due to the oblique orientation of the support tracks, until they enter the notches and come to rest there. An automatic transfer by a spring preload or the like is then no longer required here, but may also be additionally provided.

In particular, the suspension elements are formed on the cover as laterally projecting wing-like elements. Preferably, two such suspension elements are formed on each lateral edge.

An inventive domestic refrigerator comprises an interior for receiving food, which is bounded by walls of an inner container. The household refrigeration appliance moreover comprises a food storage container, which is arranged in the interior, and which can be closed by a lid. The household refrigerating appliance moreover comprises a storage device with which the cover for opening and closing the fresh food container is mounted in the interior liftable and lowerable. The lid can be operated with a control element. An essential idea of the invention is to be seen in that a front strip has a movement guiding device for the operating element and the motion guiding device has a carrier plate with lateral guide elements, wherein the operating element has a sliding carriage, which is displaceably guided in the carrier plate. A particularly precise motion control is thereby made possible, without that spreads or jamming would occur in the relative movement of the control element to the front panel. A very user-friendly and permanently smooth motion control is made possible.

In the figures, identical or functionally identical elements are provided with the same reference numerals.

In 1 is in an exemplary representation of a household refrigerator 1 shown, which is designed as a fridge-freezer combination device. The household refrigerator 1 includes a body 2 with an inner container 3 , The inner container 3 limited with its walls a first interior which has a refrigerator 4 is, and arranged thereunder, separated second interior, which is a freezer compartment 5 is. The fridge 4 Generally used for frost-free cooling of refrigerated goods, preferably at temperatures between + 4 ° C and + 8 ° C. The refrigerator 4 However, it can also be designed as a zero degree compartment, in particular for keeping fruit or vegetables fresh. The fridge 4 is with the door open 6 , the front of the room 4 closes, accessible.

The freezer room 5 is generally used for freezing frozen food, for example, at -18 ° C. The freezer compartment 5 is when the freezer compartment door is open 7 accessible.

In the fridge 4 is a refrigerated goods or fresh food container 8th telescopically mounted, by means of one above the freshness container 8th stored lid 9 is closable. Over the lid 9 can, as shown, an additional cover 10 be arranged, for example in the form of a glass shelf.

The inner container 3 has two opposite vertical side walls 3a and 3b on.

In 2 is a perspective view of the cover 10 shown. At a front and thus to the door 6 facing edge is a front panel 11 arranged. The cover 10 is thus preferably in regions in the front panel 11 arranged hineinzerstreckend, for example, inserted therein.

The trained in particular plastic front panel 11 also extends over the entire width of the cover 10 , The front panel 11 is In addition, as a support for a control 12 , The operating element 12 is to operate the lid 9 intended.

In 2 is the operating element 12 with a control cap 13 shown, which is accessible from the front and by a user directly accessible and operable. The operating element 12 is approximately centered along the width (extension in x-direction) of the front panel 11 and thus also the cover 10 arranged. The operating element 12 is as a push-push actuating mechanism for operating the lid 9 educated. In particular, it is thus provided that it can only be moved back and forth in the z-direction and thereby correspondingly in the front strip 11 held and managed.

For this purpose, an actuation along the arrow P is provided. In 2 a situation is shown where the control element 12 is arranged in a basic position. This also means, for example, that the control cap 13 raised in z-direction towards the front 11 extends and thus protrudes forward. Starting from the illustration in 2 can be compared to the basic position, showing a first end position, second end position is set, which is a so-called displacement position, as in 3 is shown. In this displacement position is the control cap 13 continue towards the cover 10 positioned and in particular is the control cap 13 front flush with the front panel 11 arranged.

Due to the push-push actuating mechanism is in both end positions, as in 2 and 3 are shown, the further operation of the control 12 by a straightforward pressing in the horizontal depth direction and thus in the z-direction along the arrow P only possible.

In the exemplary embodiment it is provided that the basic position, as in 2 is shown biased by a spring.

In the 3 shown displacement position of the operating element 12 is also trained to be self-sufficient. Is based on the displacement position according to 3 again the basic position according to 2 be achieved, a user must first the control element 12 again in the direction of the arrow P press inwards to solve this shift position can, in which case after this release automatically a straight out and returning the control element 12 in the in 2 shown basic position is reached.

This embodiment is also in particular part of the push-push actuating mechanism.

The lid 9 is through a storage device 14 liftable and lowerable, allowing the opening and closing of the fresh food container 8th is reached. In the lowered state of the lid 9 is the container 8th thus closed from above, being in the raised state of the lid 9 is open. By such a configuration that can be in the container 8th contained vegetables or fruit or fish or the like for a long time to be kept fresh and does not dry out. The in the DE 40 40 341 C2 explained problems can be positively influenced.

The operating element 12 in its position and in particular in its design as a push-push actuation mechanism allows a particularly user-friendly operation, which is also permanently durable and stable and smoothly take place.

In 4 is a bottom view of a component representation as in 2 and 3 shown is shown. Here is a first embodiment of an operating element 12 shown. The control cap 13 is in the context of a shift part 15 non-destructively detachable, for example, by a latch connected. The cap 13 thus covers this sliding part 15 from the front. The sliding part 15 has a central web in the illustrated embodiment 16 on, on which on one of the cover 10 facing top a sliding block 17 is arranged. This sliding block 17 engages in a trained as in the embodiment of the heart cam guide setting 18 one. The guiding scenery 18 is at a bottom 19 a carrier plate 20 arranged. The carrier plate 20 is preferably integral and integral with the front panel 11 educated. It is also above the part 15 or the bridge 16 arranged.

In 5 is the execution according to 4 shown, in contrast to the representation in 4 the operating element 12 is shown in the displacement position.

In this context, the configuration of the guide slot 18 especially advantageous as a heart curve. Because the sliding block 17 and the coupling achieved thereby between the operating element 12 and the carrier plate 20 allows a particularly precise and smooth relative displacement in the direction of the arrow P between the control 12 and the front panel 11 , This also causes a corresponding relative displacement of the lid 9 reached that with the part 15 and / or the jetty 16 is mechanically coupled.

In 4 is shown a situation where the sliding block 17 in a second dead center or second breakpoint is arranged. Is based on the representation in 4 front side in the direction of arrow P on the control 12 pressed, the sliding block moves 17 in the lead setting 18 to a front first dead center or first breakpoint 21 , as in 5 is shown. Through the push-push actuating mechanism, which is the guide link 18 in their specific form and the sliding block 17 includes, a self-holding state of the operating element 12 in the displacement position as it is in 5 shown is achieved. To solve this shift position, as already to the 2 and 3 has been explained, a movement is first again required in the direction of the arrow P, in which case in turn dependent on the push-push actuating mechanism, an independent movement against this arrow P takes place and the operating element 12 again in the outwardly protruding and opposite the front panel 11 raised self-holding basic position according to 4 is moved.

The parts 15 and 16 are component-specific of a motion control device 22 assigned.

In particular, this independent repatriation according to the release of the displacement position according to 5 achieved by a spring acting in the z direction, which by the bias then the actuating element or the operating element 12 pushes outward.

In 6 an additional embodiment is shown in an exploded view, in which the embodiment of the motion guide device 22 different too 4 and 5 is. In this embodiment, no sliding part 15 with another central central pier 16 provided, but a plate-like displacement slide 23 realized. A feather 24 is preferably provided again, the already explained movements of the return of the control 12 to effect starting from the displacement position in the basic position.

Also in 6 is the integral design of the carrier plate 20 with the front panel 11 to recognize.

In 7 is a bottom view of the embodiment according to 6 shown here, where here the control 12 shown in the basic position.

In particular advantage of this embodiment is provided that the carrier plate 20 towards the back of the front bar 11 extends and at the parallel to the direction P extending side edges 20a and 20b guide elements 25a and 25b are formed. In particular, these guide elements 25a and 25b integral with the carrier plate 20 shaped. These guide elements 25a and 25b embrace the plate-like displacement slide 23 on the edge, so that it can not fall down and is guided on both sides in the horizontal direction of displacement according to the arrow P. This embodiment is particularly advantageous in that no undesirable tilting occurs about the axis of the arrow P, so that the operation can be performed very smoothly and continuously for a user.

The coupling of the control element cap 13 with the sliding carriage 23 is by locking elements 13a and 13b such as 13c shown.

In an advantageous embodiment, it is provided that on one of the cover 10 opposite bottom 23a of the sliding carriage 23 an intervention area 26 is trained. This is raised in the exemplary embodiment projecting down and designed like a fireplace. It is thus a hollow engagement area 26 in which a counter element, which is at an upper side of the lid 9 is arranged, can intervene. As a result, a mechanical operative connection and coupling between the operating element 12 and the lid 9 reached.

As from the illustration in 7 it can be seen, the direction of the shift according to the arrow P in a plane or in a parallel plane in which the displacement slide 23 and the carrier plate 20 extend.

In addition, it is provided that on the support plate 20 another coupling area 27 is trained. In this extends from above coming down a guide pin 28 in a guideway 29 in the carrier plate 20 can be performed. This guide pin 28 is with a display panel 30 ( 8th ) on the carrier plate 20 is arranged, connected. By the movement of the operating element 12 and the associated movement of the sliding carriage 23 will also about this pin 28 this display plate 30 postponed. This also causes a relative displacement of the display plate 30 to the cover 10 , so in this regard by the display plate 30 visually also the respective existing state of the lid 9 and thus the open or closed state of the lid 9 can be displayed. By means of this optical field, which can be designed individually in color as a function of the state of the lid, or for the user a specific colored area can be viewed depending on the respective position, an appropriate position of the lid is intuitively and quickly comprehensible 9 recognizable.

In the context is in 8th a perspective view of the embodiment according to 7 shown from above. The carrier plate 20 from the top of the sliding carriage 23 covering is shown.

In 9 is in a perspective sectional view along the section line IX-IX, the embodiment in 8th shown. As can be seen, is on a top 9a of the lid 9 a coupling part 9b shown which in the engagement area 26 is shown engaging. The carrier plate 20 is opposite a front edge 10a the cover 10 arranged overhanging and pulled slightly upwards, leaving the cover 10 quasi also somewhat recessed and embedded embedded in it. The guiding scenery 18 is at the bottom 19 trained, and the sliding block 17 sits in a front area of the sliding carriage 23 on a top 23b ,

In addition, it can be seen that the spring 24 in a corresponding space, which is designed box-shaped or semi-tubular, is arranged.

In 10 is the execution of the components as they are in 7 to 9 was explained in a perspective shown from below. Here is the sliding carriage 23 from the control cap 13 taken off, leaving on the bottom 19 the carrier plate 20 can be looked. The guiding scenery 18 is to be recognized in the context. Also in this context is the arrangement and shaping of the guide elements 25a and 25b to recognize in detail.

In the perspective view from below in 11 are the components as they are in 7 shown are shown. In contrast to the representation in 10 is then here in addition to the sliding carriage 23 arranged. The semi-tubular or dome-like housing structure 31 in the intervention area 26 flows and over which the spring 24 on the sliding carriage 23 is covered is shown.

In 12 is in a further perspective sectional view next to the lid 9 also a storage device 14 shown in specific execution. This is a particularly advantageous embodiment, since the storage device 14 external to the fresh food container 8th and to the front bar 11 as well as to a support frame 32 that with the front bar 11 is connected, is arranged. In particular Vorteilhaftigkeit is provided that the storage device 14 to the vertical side walls 3a and 3b is integrated. The storage device 14 is thus arranged externally to the components mentioned. The storage device 14 in this context comprises guide rails on opposite sides and thus on the vertical side walls 3a and 3b , where in 12 only the guide rail 33 is shown. This is an inwardly curved elevation from the side wall 3a in the interior or in the refrigerator 4 outstanding. This guide rail 33 includes on a top 34 two notches 35 , where in 12 only the front notch 35 can be seen. On the lid 9 is on the opposite and the side walls 3a and 3b facing side edges 9c a suspension element 36 integrally formed. This extends angled and wing-like to the side and in the embodiment shown according to 12 is the suspension element 36 in the front notch 35 positioned horizontally. One in the back of the lid 9 another suspension element, which on this side edge 9c is formed, is also located lying in a corresponding notch.

However, it may also be provided that only a single suspension element 36 on the edge 9c is formed and on the opposite side edge also only such a suspension element is formed. At the notch 35 adjacent covers the top 34 the guide rail 33 a support track 37 , which is higher in the vertical direction and thus in the y-direction than the notch 35 ,

The clarity is in 12 the cover 10 not shown above the lid 9 would be arranged and both in the front panel 11 as well as in the lateral support frame 32 would be arranged engaging.

By the in 12 shown position is the lid 9 closed. Based on this, then the control element 12 be pressed in the direction of the arrow P, which is due in particular by 9 shown coupling of the individual elements a displacement of the sliding carriage 23 in the direction of this arrow P results. Due to the coupling of the engagement area 26 with the coupling part 9b then becomes the lid 9 in this direction of the arrow P and thus moved backwards. This will ensure that the suspension elements 36 from the notches 35 slide out and up on the support track 37 reach. This will then automatically open the lid 9 set as it is raised.

It can be provided that this support track 37 completely horizontal. In such an embodiment, it is then necessary that the return of the raised and thus opened state of the lid 9 in the then lowered again and thus closed state of the lid 9 by an additional auxiliary element, in particular by a spring, for example the spring 24 , he follows.

A particularly advantageous embodiment results from the fact that this support web 37 is oriented obliquely and in particular from the notch 35 oriented towards the rear. In such a configuration is then due to the weight of the lid 9 in the open state when operating the operating element 12 from the displacement position an automatic return to the closed position of the lid 9 achieved because of this by the weight and the obliquely oriented support track 37 automatically slides forward again and the suspension elements 36 in the notch 35 retract. A spring preload or other auxiliary support for returning to the closed state of the lid 9 is not required in this embodiment.
