- the invention relates to a shelf for subdividing the interior of a piece of furniture, in particular a shelf for detachment in the interior of a refrigerator, which is subdivided at least once into individual sections transversely to its direction of insertion, in order to enable the storage of high refrigerated goods, such as surfaces or the like.
- which are provided with stiffening frames arranged at their edges, of which the frame sections assigned to the side walls of the interior rest on supporting elements on the side walls.
- cooling devices of the type mentioned it is customary to divide at least one of the support plates or support grids arranged one above the other in their housing at a short distance from one another transversely to their insertion direction, in order to be able to set up high refrigerated goods, such as bottles or the like, in the front region of the shelves.
- a further, massive storage compartment, arranged transversely to its direction of insertion, for arrangement in cooling devices is known from British patent application 22 19 851, the storage surface of which is formed by glass plates of approximately the same size, spaced apart and resting on opposite support strips.
- the gap forming the gap between the front and the rear section of the support plate serving as a tray is produced by base-like projections arranged on both sides on the support strips, which engage positively in the outer contour of the glass plates.
- support plate according to the British patent in the area of its division has a gap that interrupts the storage area, through which, if insufficient care is taken, in particular when loading the storage area, refrigerated goods with smaller dimensions can fall and thereby possibly cause damage to the storage area below
- support plate known from the utility model has a substantially continuous shelf.
- this functionally satisfactorily equipped support plate has the disadvantage that its production is very complex and therefore expensive.
- the invention is based on the object, in the case of solidly constructed support plates composed of individual elements, to provide in a simple manner the possibility, on the one hand, of being able to set up refrigerated goods stored in high containers and containers and, on the other hand, of creating a storage level equipped without interruptions.
- the inventive design of the support plate avoids a gap between the individual sections that interrupts the storage surface and, on the other hand, prevents costly production.
- the releasable connection between the individual sections by a snap connection is formed, wherein the locking elements are arranged on the mutually facing frame sections of the individual sections.
- Such a solution has the advantage that the individual sections connected to one another in a relatively short way are connected to form a unit that is as stable as possible.
- the locking elements connecting the individual sections are particularly simple and expedient if, according to a further preferred embodiment of the object of the invention, it is provided that the locking elements on the one hand consist of a locking hook arranged on the frame of the front section and on the other hand by an undercut provided on Frame of the rear section arranged entrainment are formed, which are in the pushed together state of the individual section in engagement with each other.
- the latching hook on its side facing the rear section is equipped with a bevel which automatically lifts the front part of the rear section when the two individual sections are pushed together and engages in the entrainment in the pushed-together state .
- the entrainment provided with the undercut is formed by the frame projecting opposite the storage surface of the storage area.
- a latching hook can be produced in a particularly stable manner as a connecting element between the two sections of the support plate if, according to a further preferred embodiment of the object of the invention, it is provided that it is integrally formed on the frame.
- Fig. 1 shows a household refrigerator 10, which is equipped in the usual way with a heat-insulated housing 11 and can be closed with a door 12.
- a heat-insulated housing 11 In the interior of the housing, mutually opposite projecting support strips 13 are arranged on the side walls, which have a groove-like receptacle, into which support plates 14 and 15 which subdivide the interior of the refrigerator and serve as shelves for the items to be stored are removably inserted.
- the support plates 15 are composed of two sections 16 and 17 divided transversely to their direction of insertion. These are formed from glass plates of approximately the same size, the edges of which are each surrounded by a frame 18 or 19, the lateral sections of the frame being arranged in the groove-like receptacle of the support strips.
- the releasable connection between the individual sections 16 and 17 is formed by a latching connection, the latching elements of which are arranged on the mutually facing frame sections 21 and 22 of the individual sections 16 and 17.
- the latching elements are designed on the one hand as latching hooks 23, which have a latching lug 24 and a web 25 connecting the latching lug to the frame section 21, and, on the other hand, as a driver 26 designed with an undercut, which is provided by the on the underside of the section 17 is formed over the surface of the glass plate projecting frame portion 22.
- the locking hook 23 is integrally formed on the frame 18 enclosing the front section 16 of the support plate 15. In the event that the frame of the sections 16 and 17 are produced by extrusion coating with plastic or aluminum, the locking hook 23 is also molded on.
- the approximately central arrangement of the latching hook 13 to the frame section 21 results in an approximately uniform introduction of forces onto the frame section 22 of the rear section 17 in the event that the support plates are to be moved towards the door 12 in the support strips when pushed together and loaded.
- the latching hook 23 engages with the latching lug 24 behind the frame section 22 projecting over the surface of the glass plate on the underside of section 17, so that the two sections 16 and 17 of the support plate 15 are positively connected to one another.
- the web 25 of the latching hook 23, which is trapezoidal in plan view, is spaced around the part of the frame section 22 which forms the entrainment 26 led around this, so that the tip of the locking lug 24 rests on the surface of the glass plate and thus the two frame sections 21 and 22 are arranged in this area substantially at the same height.
- the rear section 17 is automatically lifted on one side by the frame section 22 of the locking lug 24 when the two sections 16 and 17 are pushed together.
- the tip of the locking lug 24 slides over the width of the frame section until the steeply sloping side of the locking lugs opposite the bevel exceeds the width of the frame section 22 and thereby the raised section falls at least by its own weight onto the tip of the locking lug 24, thereby simultaneously Engagement of the locking hook 23 takes place in the driver 26.
- the lifting of the rear section 17 is additionally supported by a radius R on the frame section 22 facing the locking lug 24.
- the front section 16 is only to be lifted in the area facing the door opening and pulled out against the direction of insertion, only within the play predetermined by the receiving grooves in the support strips.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Ablage zur Unterteilung des Innenraums eines Möbels, insbesondere Ablage zur Abordnung im Innenraum eines Kühlgerätes, die wenigstens einmal, um das Einlagern von hohem Kühlgut, wie Flachen oder dgl. zu ermöglichen, quer zu ihrer Einschubrichtung in einzelne Abschnitte unterteilt ist, die mit an ihren Rändern angeordneten, als Versteifung dienenden Rahmen versehen sind, von denen die den Seitenwänden des Innenraums zugeordneten Rahmenabschnitte auf Tragelementen an den Seitenwänden ruhen.The invention relates to a shelf for subdividing the interior of a piece of furniture, in particular a shelf for detachment in the interior of a refrigerator, which is subdivided at least once into individual sections transversely to its direction of insertion, in order to enable the storage of high refrigerated goods, such as surfaces or the like. which are provided with stiffening frames arranged at their edges, of which the frame sections assigned to the side walls of the interior rest on supporting elements on the side walls.
Bei Kühlgeräten der genannten Art ist es üblich, wenigstens eine der in ihrem Gehäuse mit geringem Abstand übereinander angeordneten Tragplatten oder Traggitter quer zu ihrer Einschubrichtung zu teilen, um hohes Kühlgut, wie beispielsweise Flaschen oder dgl. im vorderen Bereich der Ablagen aufstellen zu können.In cooling devices of the type mentioned, it is customary to divide at least one of the support plates or support grids arranged one above the other in their housing at a short distance from one another transversely to their insertion direction, in order to be able to set up high refrigerated goods, such as bottles or the like, in the front region of the shelves.
Aus dem DE-GM 90 06 675 ist eine quer zur Einschubrichtung unterteilte, zwei Abschnitte aufweisende, massiv ausgebildete Ablage für den Einsatz in Kühlgeräten bekannt, die aus zwei im wesentlichen gleich großen, an ihren Rändern mit einem Rahmen ausgestatteten Glasplatten gebildet ist. Die seitlichen Schenkel des den hinteren Abschnitt umgebenden Rahmens erstrecken sich über dessen vordere Schenkel nach vorn und bilden dadurch Aufnahmeholme für den losen vorderen Abschnitt der Tragplatte. Die mit den Aufnahmeholmen versehenen seitlichen Schenkel am Rahmen sind mit nach innen ragenden Führungsleisten ausgestattet, zwischen denen der vordere lose Abschnitt unter deren hinteren Abschnitt einschiebbar ist. Diese Führungsleisten sind an ihrem vorderen Ende hochgezogen und bilden so eine Rast für die Vorderkante des vorderen Abschnitts der Tragplatte.From DE-GM 90 06 675 a transverse to the direction of insertion, two sections, massive storage for use in cooling devices is known, which is formed from two substantially the same size, equipped with a frame on its edges. The side legs of the frame surrounding the rear section extend forward over its front leg and thereby form support spars for the loose front section of the support plate. The side legs on the frame provided with the holding spars are equipped with inwardly projecting guide strips, between which the front loose section can be inserted under the rear section thereof. These guide strips are pulled up at their front end and thus form a catch for the front edge of the front section of the support plate.
Eine weitere, quer zu ihrer Einschubrichtung unterteilte, massive Ablage zur Anordnung in Kühlgeräten ist aus der britischen Patentanmeldung 22 19 851 bekannt, deren Abstellfläche durch in etwa gleich große, im Abstand voneinander angeordnete, auf gegenüberliegenden Tragleisten ruhenden Glasplatten gebildet ist. Der einen Spalt bildende Abstand zwischen dem vorderen und dem hinteren Abschnitt der als Ablage dienenden Tragplatte wird durch beiderseits auf den Tragleisten angeordnete, sockelartige Vorsprünge erzeugt, die fornschlüssig in die Außenkontur der Glasplatten eingreifen. Für den Fall, daß auf einer unterhalb dieser Tragplatte angeordneten weiteren Tragplatte Kühlgut in hohen Gebinden und Behältern abgestellt werden soll, kann der vordere Abschnitt der Tragplatte von den Tragleisten abgehoben und innerhalb des Kühlraums auf einer weniger benutzten Etagere oder aber auch außerhalb des Kühlraums abgestellt werden.A further, massive storage compartment, arranged transversely to its direction of insertion, for arrangement in cooling devices is known from
Während die Tragplatte gemäß der britischen Patentschrift im Bereich ihrer Teilung eine die Abstellfläche unterbrechende Lücke aufweist, durch die ggf. bei ungenügender Sorgfalt, insbesondere beim Beladen der Abstellfläche Kühlgut mit kleineren Abmessungen fallen kann und dadurch unter Umständen auf der darunterliegenden Abstellfläche Schaden anrichtet, weist die aus dem Gebrauchsmuster bekannte Tragplatte eine im wesentlichen durchgehende Abstellfläche auf. Diese funktional zufriedenstellend ausgestattete Tragplatte hat jedoch den Nachteil, daß ihre Herstellung sehr aufwendig und somit kostenintensiv ist.While the support plate according to the British patent in the area of its division has a gap that interrupts the storage area, through which, if insufficient care is taken, in particular when loading the storage area, refrigerated goods with smaller dimensions can fall and thereby possibly cause damage to the storage area below, support plate known from the utility model has a substantially continuous shelf. However, this functionally satisfactorily equipped support plate has the disadvantage that its production is very complex and therefore expensive.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei massiv ausgebildeten, aus Einzelelementen zusammengesetzten Tragplatten, auf einfache Weise die Möglichkeit zu schaffen, je nach Bedarf einerseits in hohen Gebinden und Behältern aufbewahrtes Kühlgut aufstellen zu können und andererseits eine ohne Unterbrechnungen ausgestattete Ablageebene zu schaffen.The invention is based on the object, in the case of solidly constructed support plates composed of individual elements, to provide in a simple manner the possibility, on the one hand, of being able to set up refrigerated goods stored in high containers and containers and, on the other hand, of creating a storage level equipped without interruptions.
Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß die einzelnen Abschnitte der quer zu ihrer Einschubrichtung unterteilten Ablage lösbar miteinander zu einer im wesentlichen eine durchgehende Abstellfläche aufweisenden Ablage verbunden sind.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the individual sections of the shelf, which is subdivided transversely to its direction of insertion, are detachably connected to one another to form a shelf which essentially has a continuous shelf.
Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung der Tragplatte wird einerseits ein die Abstellfläche unterbrechender Spalt zwischen den einzelnen Abschnitten und andererseits eine kostenintensive Herstellung vermieden.The inventive design of the support plate, on the one hand, avoids a gap between the individual sections that interrupts the storage surface and, on the other hand, prevents costly production.
Gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die lösbare Verbindung zwischen den einzelnen Abschnitten durch eine Rastverbindung gebildet ist, wobei die Rastelemente an den einander zugewandten Rahmenabschnitten der einzelnen Abschnitte angeordnet sind.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the object of the invention it is provided that the releasable connection between the individual sections by a snap connection is formed, wherein the locking elements are arranged on the mutually facing frame sections of the individual sections.
Eine solche Lösung hat den Vorteil, daß die auf relativ kurzem Weg miteinander verbundenen einzelnen Abschnitte zu einer möglichst formstabilen Einheit verbunden sind.Such a solution has the advantage that the individual sections connected to one another in a relatively short way are connected to form a unit that is as stable as possible.
Besonders einfach und zweckmäßig sind die die einzelnen Abschnitte miteinander verbindenden Rastelemente ausgestattet, wenn nach einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung vorgesehen ist, daß die Rastelemente einerseits aus einem am Rahmen des vorderen Abschnitts angeordneten Rasthaken und andererseits durch eine mit einem Hinterschnitt versehene, am Rahmen des hinteren Abschnitts angeordnete Mitnahme gebildet sind, die in aneinandergeschobenen Zustand der Einzelabschnitt miteinander im Eingriff stehen.The locking elements connecting the individual sections are particularly simple and expedient if, according to a further preferred embodiment of the object of the invention, it is provided that the locking elements on the one hand consist of a locking hook arranged on the frame of the front section and on the other hand by an undercut provided on Frame of the rear section arranged entrainment are formed, which are in the pushed together state of the individual section in engagement with each other.
Entsprechend einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß der Rasthaken an seiner dem hinteren Abschnitt zugewandten Seite mit einer Schräge ausgestattet ist, die beim Aneinanderschieben der beiden Einzelabschnitt dem vorderen Teil des hinteren Abschnitts selbsttätig anhebt und im zusammengeschobenen Zustand in die Mitnahme eingreift.According to a further preferred embodiment of the object of the invention it is provided that the latching hook on its side facing the rear section is equipped with a bevel which automatically lifts the front part of the rear section when the two individual sections are pushed together and engages in the entrainment in the pushed-together state .
Eine solche Lösung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, daß das Verbinden der beiden einzelnen Abschnitte zu einer durchgehenden Tragfläche durch Aneinanderschieben nur eine Einhandbedienung ohne zusätzliche Handgriffe erfordert.Such a solution is characterized in that the connection of the two individual sections to a continuous wing by pushing together only requires one-hand operation without additional handles.
Gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die mit dem Hinterschnitt versehene Mitnahme durch den gegenüber der Abstellfläche der Ablage vorstehenden Rahmen gebildet ist.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the object of the invention, it is provided that the entrainment provided with the undercut is formed by the frame projecting opposite the storage surface of the storage area.
Eine solche Lösung hat den Vorteil, daß aufgrund des Wegfalls einer zusätzlichen, die Mitnahme bildenden Kontur, das Werkzeug zur Herstellung des Rahmens relativ einfach ausgeführt werden kann und somit zumindest dieser Abschnitt der Abstellfläche äußerst einfach herzustellen ist. Aufgrund der Tatsache, daß für diesen Abschnitt, der als Tragplatte dienenden Ablage keine zusätzlichen Maßnahmen erforderlich sind, läßt sich dieser auch im Schadensfall leicht durch einen herkömmlichen, bereits bekannten Abschnitt ersetzen.Such a solution has the advantage that, due to the elimination of an additional contour which forms the entrainment, the tool for producing the frame can be carried out relatively simply and thus at least this section of the storage surface is extremely simple to manufacture. Due to the fact that no additional measures are required for this section, the storage serving as a support plate, this can easily be replaced by a conventional, already known section even in the event of damage.
Besonders stabil kann ein Rasthaken als Verbindeelement zwischen den beiden Abschnitten der Tragplatte hergestellt werden, wenn nach einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung vorgesehen ist, daß dieser am Rahmen mit angeformt ist.A latching hook can be produced in a particularly stable manner as a connecting element between the two sections of the support plate if, according to a further preferred embodiment of the object of the invention, it is provided that it is integrally formed on the frame.

Fig. 1 zeigt einen Haushalts-Kühlschrank 10, der in der üblichen Weise mit einen wärmeisolierten Gehäuse 11 ausgestattet und mit einer Tür 12 verschließbar ist. Im Inneren des Gehäuses sind an dessen Seitenwänden einander gegenüberliegende vorspringende Tragleisten 13 angeordnet, die eine nutartige Aufnahme aufweisen, in die den Innenraum des Kühlgeräts unterteilende und als Ablagen für das einzulagernde Kühlgut dienende Tragplatten 14 und 15 herausnehmbar eingeschoben sind. Die Tragplatten 15 sind im vorliegenden Fall aus zwei quer zu ihrer Einschubrichtung unterteilten Abschnitten 16 und 17 zusammengesetzt. Diese sind aus etwa gleich großen Glasplatten gebildet, deren Rand jeweils von einem Rahmen 18 bzw. 19 eingefaßt ist, wobei die seitlichen Abschnitte des Rahmens in der nutartigen Aufnahme der Tragleisten angeordnet sind.Fig. 1 shows a
Die einzelnen Abschnitte 16 und 17 der quer zu ihrer Einschubrichtung unterteilten Tragplatte 15 sind lösbar miteinander zu einer im wesentlichen eine durchgehende Abstellfläche 20 aufweisenden Ablage verbunden (siehe hierzu Fig. 3).The
Wie sowohl aus Fig. 2 als auch aus Fig. 3 hervorgeht, ist die lösbare Verbindung zwischen den einzelnen Abschnitten 16 und 17 durch eine Rastverbindung gebildet, deren Rastelemente an den einander zugewandten Rahmenabschnitten 21 und 22 der einzelnen Abschnitte 16 und 17 angeordnet sind.As can be seen from both FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the releasable connection between the
Wie insbesondere Fig. 3 zeigt, sind die Rastelemente einerseits als Rasthaken 23 der eine Rastnase 24 und einen die Rastnase mit dem Rahmenabschnitt 21 verbindenden Steg 25 aufweist und andererseits als eine mit einem Hinterschnitt ausgestaltete Mitnahme 26 ausgeführt, die durch den auf der Unterseite des Abschnitts 17 gegenüber der Oberfläche der Glasplatte überstehenden Rahmenabschnitt 22 gebildet ist. Der Rasthaken 23, ist an dem im vorderen Abschnitt 16 der Tragplatte 15 einfassenden Rahmen 18 mitangeformt. Für den Fall, daß die Rahmen der Abschnitte 16 bzw. 17 durch Umspritzen mit Kunststoff oder Aluminium erzeugt werden, ist der Rasthaken 23 mitangespritzt. Durch die ungefähr mittige Anordnung des Rasthakens 13 zum Rahmenabschnitt 21 ergibt sich eine in etwa gleichmäßige Kräfteeinleitung auf den Rahmenabschnitt 22 des hinteren Abschnitts 17 für den Fall, daß die Tragplatten im zusammengeschobenen und beladenen Zustand in den Tragleisten zur Tür 12 hin bewegt werden sollen.As shown in FIG. 3 in particular, the latching elements are designed on the one hand as
Sind die beiden einzelnen Abschnitte 21 und 22 zu einer beinahe spaltfreien, durchgehenden Ablagefläche aneinander geschoben, so hintergreift der Rasthaken 23 mit seiner Rastnase 24 den auf der Unterseite des Abschnitts 17 über die Oberfläche der Glasplatte vorstehenden Rahmenabschnitt 22, so daß die beiden Abschnitte 16 und 17 der Tragplatte 15 formschlüssig miteinander verbunden sind. Der in Draufsicht trapezförmige Steg 25 des Rasthakens 23 ist dabei um den die Mitnahme 26 bildenden Teil des Rahmenabschnitts 22 mit Abstand zu diesem herumgeführt, so daß die Spitze der Rastnase 24 an der Oberfläche der Glasplatte aufliegt und somit die beiden Rahmenabschnitte 21 und 22 in diesem Bereich im wesentlichen in gleicher Höhenlage angeordnet sind.If the two
Werden die beiden Abschnitte 16 und 17 zur Bildung einer durchgehenden Tragplatte 15 aneinandergeschoben, so wird der hintere Abschnitt 17 durch die dem Rahmenabschnitt 22 der Rastnase 24 selbsttätig beim Aneinanderschieben der beiden Abschnitte 16 und 17 einseitig angehoben. Die Spitze der Rastnase 24 gleitet solange über die Breite des Rahmenabschnittes, bis die steil abfallende, der Schräge gegenüberliegende Seite der Rastnasen die Breite des Rahmenabschnitts 22 überschreitet und dadurch der angehobene Abschnitt wenigstens durch sein Eigengewicht auf die Spitze der Rastnase 24 fällt, wodurch gleichzeitig der Eingriff des Rasthakens 23 in der Mitnahme 26 stattfindet.If the two
Das Anheben des hinteren Abschnitts 17 wird durch einen, der Rastnase 24 zugewandten Radius R am Rahmenabschnitt 22 zusätzlich unterstützt.The lifting of the
Für den Fall, daß die beiden Abschnitte 16 und 17 entriegelt werden sollen, ist der vordere Abschnitt 16, nur innerhalb des durch Aufnahmenuten vorgegebenen Spiels in den Tragleisten an seinem der Türöffnung zugewandten Bereich anzuheben und entgegen der Einschubrichtung herauszuziehen.In the event that the two
Eine deutliche Verringerung der Anschiebekraft beim Verriegeln der beiden Abschnitte miteinander hat sich bereits ergeben, wenn die Schräge der Rastnase einen Winkel gegenüber einer Vertikalen von größer als 45° aufweist.A significant reduction in the pushing force when the two sections are locked together has already occurred if the bevel of the latching lug has an angle with respect to a vertical of greater than 45 °.
Gute Verriegelungseigenschaften zwischen den beiden Abschnitten 16 und 17 ergaben sich bereits, wenn die steil abfallende Seite der Rastnase 24 einen Winkel gegenüber einer Horizontalen von 80° bis 90° aufweist.Good locking properties between the two
