Abstract

The invention relates to a drawer-type compartment (6), for receiving items in tall containers that are to be stored, such as bottles or similar. The problem with known drawer compartments is that a noise is produced when the bottles that are stored in said compartment move. According to the invention, said problem is solved by a separation element (7), designed as a double comb comprising elastic tongues (16), which secure the bottles positioned on either side of the separation element (7) against the container wall of the drawer compartment (6).

Description

Auszugkasten für ein Kälteqerät Pull-out box for a refrigeration device
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Auszugkasten für ein Kältegerät. Insbesondere betrifft sie einen Auszugkasten, der zur Aufnahme von Flaschen, Leichtverpackungen wie etwa Tetrapaks, allgemein gesagt für hochformatige Behälter, geeignet ist. Derartige Auszugkästen kommen insbesondere bei Kältegeräten mit einem sogenannten Kellerfach zum Einsatz, das auf einer Temperatur zwischen der des eigentlichen Kühlfaches und einer üblichen Raumtemperatur gehalten wird.The present invention relates to a pull-out box for a refrigerator. In particular, it relates to a pull-out box which is suitable for holding bottles, lightweight packaging such as tetrapaks, generally speaking for vertical containers. Such pull-out boxes are used in particular in refrigeration appliances with a so-called cellar compartment, which is kept at a temperature between that of the actual refrigerator compartment and a normal room temperature.
Beim Herausziehen eines solchen Auszugkastens ist es nur schwerlich zu vermeiden, daß in dem Kasten aufrecht stehende Flaschen oder andere Getränkeverpackungen zu schaukeln beginnen. Um ein Umfallen dieser Behälter nach Möglichkeit zu vermeiden, ist es bekannt, in dem Auszugkasten ein quer zur Auszugsrichtung orientiertes, herausnehmbares Trennelement anzubringen, das das Innere des Kastens in zwei Fächer unterteilt, deren Breite mehr oder weniger gut an die Breite der darin unterzubringenden Behälter von unterschiedlichen Abmessungen angepaßt ist. Ein solches Trennelement kann jedoch nicht vermeiden, daß beim Herausziehen des Kastens die Behälter gegeneinander und gegen die Wände des Kastens schlagen. Dies ist nicht nur mit einer für den Benutzer unangenehmen Geräuschentwicklung verbunden, es kann auch dazu führen, daß bei unachtsamem Umgang Inhalt aus angebrochenen, nicht wiederverschließbaren Leichtverpackungen herausschwappt oder im Extremfall Verpackungen zur Seite hin umfallen, falls der Kasten nur teilweise gefüllt ist.When pulling out such a pull-out box, it is difficult to avoid that upright bottles or other beverage packaging begin to rock in the box. In order to prevent these containers from falling over, it is known to mount a removable separating element oriented transversely to the pull-out direction in the pull-out box, which divides the inside of the box into two compartments, the width of which more or less closely matches the width of the containers to be accommodated therein is adapted from different dimensions. However, such a separating element cannot prevent the containers from striking against one another and against the walls of the box when the box is pulled out. This is not only associated with an unpleasant noise development for the user, it can also lead to contents being spilled out of opened, non-reclosable light packaging in the event of careless handling or, in extreme cases, packaging falling over to the side if the box is only partially filled.
Die meisten Kühlschränke verfügen in der Tür über ein schmales Bord mit einem Geländer, das zur Aufnahme von Flaschen oder andere Getränkeverpackungen dimensioniert ist. Um hier das Problem des Kippens von Getränkeverpackungen in denMost refrigerators have a narrow shelf in the door with a railing that is sized to hold bottles or other beverage packaging. To here the problem of tipping beverage packaging into the
Griff zu bekommen, ist vorgeschlagen worden, an der Innenseite des Geländers zur Tür hin und nach unten gerichtete flexible Zungen anzuordnen, die auf dem Bord stehende Getränkeverpackungen gegen die Innenseite der Tür gedrückt halten und sie so daran hindern, zu schaukeln, wenn die Tür geöffnet wird.Getting a grip has been suggested to have flexible tongues on the inside of the railing facing downwards and towards the door, which keep the beverage packaging on the board pressed against the inside of the door, preventing it from rocking when the door is open becomes.
Eine solche Lösung ist für einen Auszugkasten nicht anwendbar. Zum einen ist dieser in der Regel so bemessen, daß wenigstens zwei Reihen von Getränkeverpackungen nebeneinander Platz finden. Diese sind mit einer an der Wand des Kastens angebrachten Anordnung von Zungen nicht mehr hinreichend fixierbar. Des weiteren ergibt sich das Problem, daß der Auszugkasten auch für andere Güter als für Getränkeverpackungen nutzbar sein soll, daß aber eine Anordnung von Zungen wie oben beschrieben die Nutzung des Kastens für andere zu kühlende Güter, wie etwa Obst oderSuch a solution cannot be used for a pull-out drawer. On the one hand, this is usually dimensioned so that at least two rows of beverage packaging find space next to each other. These can no longer be adequately fixed with an arrangement of tongues attached to the wall of the box. Furthermore, there is the problem that the pull-out box should also be usable for goods other than beverage packaging, but that an arrangement of tongues as described above allows the box to be used for other goods to be cooled, such as fruit or
Gemüse, stört.Vegetables, bothers.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist, einen Auszugkasten für ein Kältegerät zu schaffen, in dem eine große Zahl von Getränkeverpackungen gelagert werden kann, ohne daß beim Herausziehen des Auszugkastens die Gefahr besteht, daß diese Verpackungen ins Schaukeln geraten und dadurch unerwünschte Geräusche erzeugen oder gar umkippen können.The object of the invention is to provide a pull-out box for a refrigerator in which a large number of beverage packages can be stored without there being a risk when the pull-out box is pulled out that these packages will start to rock and thereby generate undesirable noises or even tip over.
Die Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß das Trennelement mit einer Mehrzahl von über seine Länge verteilten flexiblen Zungen versehen ist, die in die zwei durch das Trennelement definierten Fächer eingreifen.The object is achieved in that the separating element is provided with a plurality of flexible tongues distributed over its length, which engage in the two compartments defined by the separating element.
Das Trennelement ist vorzugsweise zweiteilig aufgebaut, mit einer steifen, sich zwischen den Wänden erstreckenden Strebe und einem die Zungen tragenden Profilelement aus flexiblem Material, das auf die Strebe aufgesteckt ist.The separating element is preferably constructed in two parts, with a rigid strut which extends between the walls and a profile element which carries the tongues and is made of flexible material which is attached to the strut.
Um ein Verkippen des Profilelementes zu vermeiden, wenn nur eines der Fächer des Auszugkastens gefüllt ist, hat die Strebe vorzugsweise einen langgezogenen Querschnitt, der von dem Profilelement umgriffen wird.In order to avoid tilting of the profile element when only one of the compartments of the pull-out box is filled, the strut preferably has an elongated cross section which is encompassed by the profile element.
Eine Drehung des Profilelements läßt sich bei Verwendung einer Strebe mit im Prinzip beliebigem Querschnitt auch dadurch vermeiden, daß die Strebe örtlich unterschiedliche Richtungen aufweist, wobei die verschiedenen Richtungen eine Ebene definieren.A rotation of the profile element can also be avoided when using a strut with a cross section that is in principle arbitrary in that the strut has locally different directions, the different directions defining a plane.
Gemäß seiner bevorzugten Ausgestaltung ist das Trennelement ein viereckiger Rahmen mit einer oberen und einer unteren Strebe, wobei die flexiblen Zungen entlang der unteren Strebe angeordnet sind. Diese untere Strebe verläuft in einer solchen Höhe, über dem Boden des Auszugkastens, daß die flexiblen Zungen jeweils den Bauch einer in dem Auszugkasten befindlichen Flasche berühren, wohingegen die obere Strebe in der Höhe des Halses einer typischen Getränkeflasche verläuft. So kann die obere Strebe ein Umkippen der Flasche selbst dann noch verhindern, wenn diese nicht ordnungsgemäß an den flexiblen Zungen vorbei bis auf den Boden des Kastens gesteckt worden ist.According to its preferred embodiment, the separating element is a square frame with an upper and a lower strut, the flexible tongues being arranged along the lower strut. This lower strut runs at a height above the bottom of the pull-out box so that the flexible tongues each touch the belly of a bottle in the pull-out box, whereas the upper strut runs at the level of the neck of a typical beverage bottle. So the top strut can Prevent the bottle from tipping over even if it has not been properly inserted past the flexible tongues down to the bottom of the box.
Um eine Nutzung des Auszugkastens für andere Zwecke zu erleichtern, ist das Trennelement zweckmäßigerweise entfernbar ausgebildet.In order to facilitate use of the pull-out box for other purposes, the separating element is expediently designed to be removable.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine perspektivische Ansicht eines kombinierten Kältegeräts 1 mit Gefrierfach 2, Kühlfach 3 und Kellerfach 4. An der Innenseite der Tür des Kühlfachs 3 befindet sich ein Bord 5 mit Geländer zur Aufnahme von Getränkepackungen.1 shows a perspective view of a combined refrigerator 1 with freezer compartment 2, refrigerator compartment 3 and cellar compartment 4. On the inside of the door of the refrigerator compartment 3 there is a shelf 5 with a railing for receiving beverage packs.
Das Kellerfach 4 umfaßt hier einen einzigen Auszugkasten 6, der mit Hilfe von Teleskopschienen 8 aus dem Kältegerät 1 herausziehbar ist. Ein Trennelement 7, von dem nur der oberste Bereich in der Fig. sichtbar ist, erstreckt sich zwischen zwei seitlichen Wänden 9 des Auszugkastens 6. Der Kasten 6 kann z.B. einstückig aus einem schlagfesten Kunststoff im Spritzguß geformt sein.The cellar compartment 4 here comprises a single pull-out box 6 which can be pulled out of the refrigerator 1 with the aid of telescopic rails 8. A separating element 7, of which only the uppermost area is visible in the figure, extends between two side walls 9 of the pull-out box 6. The box 6 can e.g. be molded in one piece from an impact-resistant plastic by injection molding.
Fig. 2 zeigt eine perspektivische Ansicht des Auszugkastens 6 und der einzelnen Teile des Trennelements 7 in einer auseinander gezogenen perspektivischen Darstellung. Die Perspektive ist in Fig. 2 so gewählt, daß die zur Sichtseite des Kältegeräts 1 hin liegende vordere Wand 10 des Auszugkastens 6 vom Betrachter abgewandt ist. Man erkennt, daß der Auszugkasten 6 aus einem Hauptbereich 11 und einem Nebenbereich 12 von geringerer Tiefe als der des Hauptbereichs zusammengesetzt ist. Die dadurch entstehende Aussparung unterhalb des Nebenbereichs 12 ist an den Verlauf der Wand des Innenraums des Kältegeräts 1 angepaßt, so daß unterhalb des Nebenbereichs der Kompressor des Kältesystems des Geräts 1 Platz finden kann.Fig. 2 shows a perspective view of the pull-out box 6 and the individual parts of the separating element 7 in an exploded perspective view. The perspective in FIG. 2 is chosen such that the front wall 10 of the pull-out box 6, which is located towards the visible side of the refrigerator 1, faces away from the viewer. It can be seen that the pull-out box 6 is composed of a main area 11 and a secondary area 12 of less depth than that of the main area. The resulting recess below the secondary area 12 is on the course of the wall of the interior of the refrigerator 1 adapted so that the compressor of the refrigeration system of the device 1 can be placed below the secondary area.
Das Trennelement 7 umfaßt hier einen im wesentlichen rechteckigen Rahmen 13, z.B. aus Stahlrohr mit rundem Querschnitt, und ein Profilelement 14 aus Gummi oder einem Weichkunststoff. Dieses Profilelement 14 umfaßt ein langgezogenes Profil 15 mit U- oderThe separating element 7 here comprises a substantially rectangular frame 13, e.g. made of tubular steel with a round cross section, and a profile element 14 made of rubber or a soft plastic. This profile element 14 comprises an elongated profile 15 with U or
C-förmigem Querschnitt, an dessen zwei seitlichen Flanken jeweils Reihen von schräg abwärts orientierten flexiblen Zungen 16 angeformt sind. Das Profilelement 14 ist vorgesehen, um, wie durch den Pfeil 17 angedeutet, auf eine untere Strebe 18 des Rahmens 13 aufgesteckt zu werden, so daß die Strebe 18 zwischen den Schenkeln des Profils 15 zu liegen kommt und zwischen diesen eingeklemmt wird.C-shaped cross section, on the two side flanks of which rows of obliquely downwardly oriented flexible tongues 16 are formed. The profile element 14 is provided in order, as indicated by the arrow 17, to be plugged onto a lower strut 18 of the frame 13, so that the strut 18 comes to lie between the legs of the profile 15 and is clamped between them.
Um eine feste Klemmung an der unteren Strebe 18 zu erzielen, kann das Profil 15 aus einem festeren Material als dem der Zungen 16 gebildet sein, oder lokal durch ein steiferes Material verstärkt sein.In order to achieve a firm clamping on the lower strut 18, the profile 15 can be formed from a stronger material than that of the tongues 16, or locally reinforced by a stiffer material.
Die untere Strebe 18 ist hier durch zwei parallele Rohre gebildet, um zu verhindern, daß sich das auf die Strebe 18 aufgesteckte Profilelement 14 drehen kann, wenn nur dieThe lower strut 18 is formed here by two parallel tubes in order to prevent the profile element 14 which is plugged onto the strut 18 from rotating, if only that
Zungen 16 einer Seite durch berührende Flaschen belastet sind. Selbstverständlich könnte anstelle zweier paralleler Rohre auch eine einteilige Strebe mit einem langgezogenen, an die Form des Profils 15 angepaßten Querschnitt verwendet werden, um die gleiche Wirkung zu erzielen.Tongues 16 on one side are loaded by touching bottles. Of course, instead of two parallel tubes, a one-piece strut with an elongated cross section adapted to the shape of the profile 15 could also be used in order to achieve the same effect.
In Verlängerung der oberen Strebe 19 des Rahmens 13 sind zwei nach unten abgebogene Befestigungsstifte 20 ausgebildet, die zum Einstecken in entsprechende, an den zwei seitlichen Wänden 9 des Kastens 6 angeformte Ösen 21 entlang der Pfeile 22 vorgesehen sind. Wenn das Trennelement 7 in dieser Weise montiert ist, unterteilt es den Hauptbereich 11 des Auszugkastens 6 in zwei Fächer mit einer Tiefe, die jeweils zur Unterbringung einer Reihe von Getränkeverpackungen geeignet ist. Die Spitzen derIn an extension of the upper strut 19 of the frame 13, two downwardly bent fastening pins 20 are formed, which are provided for insertion into corresponding eyelets 21 formed on the two side walls 9 of the box 6 along the arrows 22. When the separating element 7 is mounted in this way, it divides the main area 11 of the pull-out box 6 into two compartments with a depth which is suitable in each case for accommodating a number of beverage packages. The tops of the
Zungen 16 befinden sich typischerweise in einer Höhe über dem Boden des Auszugkastens 6 von 3 - 10 cm, die Höhe der oberen Strebe 19 kann 15 - 20 cm betragen.Tongues 16 are typically at a height above the bottom of the pull-out box 6 of 3-10 cm, the height of the upper strut 19 can be 15-20 cm.
Fig. 3 zeigt eine vereinfachte Variante des Rahmens des Trennelements, mit 13' bezeichnet. Die Befestigungsstifte 20 sind hier fortgelassen; stattdessen sind die vertikalen Streben 23 des Rahmens 13' vorgesehen, um jeweils zwischen an den zwei seitlichen Wänden 9 angeformten Vorsprüngen 23 geführt und in einer definierten Höhe über dem Boden des Kastens gehalten zu werden. Die untere Strebe 18' des Rahmens 13' verläuft zickzackförmig in der durch die obere Strebe 19 und die vertikale Strebe 24 definierten Ebene. Durch diese Formgebung kann die untere Strebe 18' eine Drehung eines aufgesteckten Profilelements 14 auch dann verhindern, wenn die Strebe 18' aus einem Rohr mit kreisförmigem Querschnitt geformt ist. Selbstverständlich ist eine Vielzahl anderer Verläufe der unteren Strebe 18' in der vertikalen Ebene denkbar, insbesondere ist es zweckmäßig, wenn die Strebe im Bereich der Enden des Profilelements 14 jeweils einen im wesentlichen vertikalen Abschnitt aufweist, der eine Verdrehung des Profilelements 14 in sich auch an dessen Enden zuverlässig verhindert. Fig. 3 shows a simplified variant of the frame of the separating element, designated 13 '. The mounting pins 20 are omitted here; instead, the vertical struts 23 of the frame 13 'are provided to alternate between the two side walls 9 molded projections 23 and to be held at a defined height above the bottom of the box. The lower strut 18 'of the frame 13' runs zigzag in the plane defined by the upper strut 19 and the vertical strut 24. As a result of this shape, the lower strut 18 'can prevent rotation of an attached profile element 14 even if the strut 18' is formed from a tube with a circular cross section. Of course, a large number of other courses of the lower strut 18 'in the vertical plane are conceivable; in particular, it is expedient if the strut in the region of the ends of the profile element 14 each has an essentially vertical section which also involves a twisting of the profile element 14 the ends of which are reliably prevented.
