Description

Die Neuerung betrifft eine Kühlschranktür mit einer in einer von außen zugänglichen Nische angeordneten Vorrichtung zum Zapfen von gekühlten Getränken aus wenigstens einem oberhalb der Nische auf der Innenseite der Tür abnehmbar befestigten Vorratsbehälter in Form einer mit einem auf deren Hals aufgesetzten Zapfventil kopfüber angeordneten Flasche, welche sich mit dem das Ventil umgebenden Gehäuse am Rand eines Durchbruchs in der Decke der Nische abstützt und seitlich in einer schalenförmigen Vertiefung auf der Rückseite der Tür anliegt. Eine solche Kühlschranktür ist aus der DE-U-8 634 579 bekannt.The innovation relates to a refrigerator door with a device arranged in an externally accessible niche for dispensing chilled drinks from at least one storage container, which is removably attached above the niche on the inside of the door, in the form of a bottle arranged upside down with a dispensing valve placed on the neck thereof with the housing surrounding the valve on the edge of an opening in the ceiling of the niche and rests laterally in a bowl-shaped recess on the back of the door. Such a refrigerator door is known from DE-U-8 634 579.

Bei Kühlschranktüren mit einer Vorrichtung zum Zapfen von gekühlten Getränken ist es erforderlich, die auf der Innenseite der Tür abnehmbar angeordneten Vorratsbehälter sicher zu befestigen, damit diese auch bei heftigem Bewegen der Tür - beispielsweise beim Aufreißen oder Zuschlagen - absolut sicher gehalten werden. Darüber hinaus muß auch sichergestellt werden, daß die auf der Innenseite der Kühlschranktür befestigten Vorratsbehälter bei abnehmender Füllung und daher geringer werdendem Gewicht selbst noch in fast leerem Zustand der beim Betätigen der Zapfvorrichtung zur Überwindung von deren Schließdruck aufzuwendenden Kraft standhalten und nicht aus ihrer Aufnahme auf der Innenseite der Tür herausgehoben werden.For refrigerator doors with a device for dispensing chilled beverages, it is necessary to securely fasten the storage containers, which are removably arranged on the inside of the door, so that they are held absolutely securely even when the door is moved violently - for example when tearing open or slamming. In addition, it must also be ensured that the storage containers fastened on the inside of the refrigerator door with decreasing filling and therefore decreasing weight even in an almost empty state can withstand the force to be exerted when operating the dispensing device to overcome its closing pressure and not from its inclusion on the Inside of the door.

Ziel der vorliegenden Neuerung ist es, eine Konstruktion anzugeben, nach der es mit einfachen Mitteln möglich ist, bei einer Kühlschranktür dieser besonderen Art die Vorratsbehälter für gekühlte Getränke sicher auf deren Innenseite so zu befestigen, daß sie sich dennoch im Bedarfsfalle leicht austauschen lassen.The aim of the present innovation is to provide a construction according to which it is possible with simple means to securely fasten the storage containers for chilled beverages on the inside of a refrigerator door of this particular type in such a way that they can nevertheless be easily replaced if necessary.

Dieses Ziel wird nach der vorliegenden Neuerung dadurch erreicht, daß der Behälter in seiner Bereitschaftslage auf der Innenseite der Tür durch einen vom Ventilgehäuse vorspringenden flanschartigen Rand und einem darüber aus der Vertiefung hervorkragenden Ansatz gegen Anheben und in seitlicher Richtung durch einen federnden Bügel gesichert ist, welcher vom Rand der Vertiefung den Behälter übergreifend diesen in der Bereitschaftslage festhält.This goal is achieved according to the present innovation in that the container is in its ready position on the inside of the door by a projecting from the valve housing flange-like edge and a protruding from the recess approach against lifting and in the lateral direction by a resilient bracket, which is secured from the edge of the recess across the container holds it in the ready position.

Nach einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der neuerungsgemäßen Konstruktion ist vorgesehen, daß der Bügel mittels eines Gelenkbolzens an einem Lagerbock angelenkt ist, der auf einem die Vertiefung seitlich flankierenden Holm sitzt, und daß der Gelenkbolzen die Wicklungen einer Schraubenfeder trägt, deren tangential auslaufende Enden einerseits am Bügel und andererseits am Lagerbock bzw. an dem ihn tragenden Holm angreifen.According to an advantageous embodiment of the construction according to the innovation it is provided that the bracket is articulated by means of a hinge pin on a bearing block which sits on a spar flanking the recess on the side, and that the hinge pin carries the windings of a helical spring, the tangentially tapering ends of which are on the one hand on the bracket and on the other hand, attack on the pedestal or on the spar that supports it.

Wenn gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der neuerungsgemäßen Konstruktion der Bügel als flacher Schwenkhebel ausgebildet ist, der mit einem auf den Behälter einwirkenden Federelement versehen ist, wird sichergestellt, daß sich auch Behälter verschiedenster Abmessungen und Gestalt - wie beispielsweise handelsübliche Getränkeflaschen mit für einzelne Getränkemarken sehr unterschiedlicher charakteristischer Form - sicher an der Innenseite der Tür befestigen lassen.If, according to a further advantageous embodiment of the construction according to the innovation, the bracket is designed as a flat swivel lever which is provided with a spring element acting on the container, it is ensured that containers of various dimensions and shape - such as commercially available beverage bottles with very different for individual beverage brands characteristic shape - securely fastened to the inside of the door.

Weitere in den Ansprüchen gekennzeichnete vorteilhafte Merkmale der Neuerung sind in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung anhand eines in der beigefügten Zeichnung vereinfacht dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles erläutert. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 In einem Ausschnitt einen senkrechten Schnitt durch eine Kühlschranktür mit einem auf deren Innenseite oberhalb einer von außen zugänglichen Nische abnehmbar durch einen federnden Haltebügel befestigten Vorratsbehälter mit einer Vorrichtung zum Zapfen gekühlter Getränke,
  • Fig. 2 in einem der Fig. 1 entsprechenden Ausschnitt die Kühlschranktür mit zwei auf deren Innenseite angeordneten Aufnahmen zum Anbringen von Vorratsbehältern, in raumbildlicher Ansicht, schräg von hinten gesehen und
  • Fig. 3 als Einzelteile den federnden Haltebügel mit seiner Befestigung, etwa in natürlichem Maßstab.
Further advantageous features of the innovation characterized in the claims are explained in the following description with reference to an embodiment shown in simplified form in the accompanying drawing. Show it:
  • 1 shows a detail of a vertical section through a refrigerator door with a storage container with a device for tapping chilled beverages attached to the inside of it above an alcove accessible from the outside by a resilient retaining bracket,
  • Fig. 2 in a section corresponding to FIG. 1 shows the refrigerator door with two receptacles arranged on the inside thereof for attaching storage containers, in a spatial view, seen obliquely from behind and
  • Fig. 3 as individual parts, the resilient bracket with its attachment, approximately on a natural scale.

Eine in der üblichen Weise mit einer Wärmedämmschicht aus Kunststoff-Hartschaum versehene Kühlschranktür 10 ist mit einer an deren Rückseite vorspringenden Ausbuchtung 11 versehen, welche eine von ihrer Außenseite her zugängliche Nische 12 umgibt. In dieser Nische 12 ist eine ebenfalls von außen zugängliche Zapfvorrichtung 13 für gekühlte Getränke angeordnet. Zur Aufnahme der Getränke dienen ein oder mehrere oberhalb der Nische 12 über der Ausbuchtung 11 auf der Innenseite der Tür 10 abnehmbar befestigte Vorratsbehälter in Form einer mit einem auf deren Hals aufgesetzten Zapfventil 14 kopfüber angeordneten Flasche 15. Diese ist mit einem das Ventil 14 umgebenden Gehäuse 16 am Rand eines Durchbruches 17 in der Decke der Nische 12 abgestützt, während sie seitlich in einer schalenförmigen Vertiefung 18 auf der Rückseite der Tür 10 anliegt.A refrigerator door 10, which is provided in the usual way with a thermal insulation layer made of rigid plastic foam, is provided with a bulge 11 projecting on the rear side thereof, which surrounds a recess 12 accessible from the outside. A dispensing device 13 for chilled drinks, which is also accessible from the outside, is arranged in this recess 12. One or more storage containers, which are removably attached above the recess 12 above the bulge 11 on the inside of the door 10, serve to hold the drinks in the form of a bottle 15 arranged upside down with a nozzle 14 placed on its neck. This bottle is provided with a housing surrounding the valve 14 16 supported on the edge of an opening 17 in the ceiling of the niche 12, while it lies laterally in a bowl-shaped recess 18 on the back of the door 10.

Die Flasche 15 ist in ihrer Betriebslage auf der Innenseite der Tür 10 durch einen vom Ventilgehäuse 16 vorspringenden flanschartigen Rand 19 und einem darüber aus der Vertiefung 18 ragenden Ansatz 20 gegen Anheben und in seitlicher Richtung durch einen federnden Bügel 21 gesichert, welcher vom Rand der Vertiefung 18 den Behälter 15 übergreifend, diesen in der Bereitschaftslage festhält.The bottle 15 is in its operating position on the inside of the door 10 by a projecting from the valve housing 16 flange-like edge 19 and a protruding from the recess 18 projection 20 against lifting and in the lateral direction by a resilient bracket 21 which is secured from the edge of the recess 18 across the container 15, holds it in the ready position.

Der Bügel 21 ist mittels eines Gelenkbolzens 22 an einem an seinen Stirnseiten mit Lageraugen ausgestatteten Lagerbock 23 angelenkt, der auf einem die Vertiefung 18 einseitig flankierenden Holm 24 mit Schrauben befestigt ist. Der Gelenkbolzen 22 trägt die Wicklungen einer Schraubenfeder 25, deren tangential auslaufende Enden einerseits am Bügel 21 und andererseits am Lagerbock 23 angreifen. Der Bügel ist, wie in Fig. 2 auf der rechten Seite mit strichpunktierten Linien dargestellt, in Richtung des dort eingezeichneten Doppelpfeiles schwenkbar und wird unter der Einwirkung der auf dem Gelenkbolzen 22 sitzenden Schraubenfeder 25 einwärts in Richtung auf die Vertiefung 18 gedrängt.The bracket 21 is articulated by means of a hinge pin 22 to a bearing block 23 equipped on its end faces with bearing eyes, which is fastened with screws on a spar 24 flanking the recess 18 on one side. The hinge pin 22 carries the windings of a helical spring 25, the tangentially tapering ends of which engage on the one hand on the bracket 21 and on the other hand on the bearing block 23. The bracket is, as shown in Fig. 2 on the right side with dash-dotted lines, pivotable in the direction of the double arrow shown there and is pushed inward in the direction of the recess 18 under the action of the coil spring 25 seated on the hinge pin 22.

Der als flacher Schwenkhebel ausgebildete Bügel 21 ist mit einem Federelement in Form einer sich gegen dessen Drehachse erstreckenden, etwa aus dessen Mitte frei geschnittenen Zunge 26 versehen, welcher sich gegen die Wand des in seiner Bereitschaftslage eingesetzten Behälters 10 federnd anschmiegt. Hierdurch werden auch Behälter mit stark von der Zylinderform abweichenden Konturen sicher gehalten.The bracket 21 designed as a flat swivel lever is provided with a spring element in the form of a tongue 26 which extends against its axis of rotation and is cut freely approximately from the center thereof and which resiliently nestles against the wall of the container 10 used in its ready position. As a result, containers with contours that deviate greatly from the cylindrical shape are held securely.

Der Gelenkbolzen 22 ist, wie insbesondere auf Fig. 3 erkennbar, an seinem den Lageraugen des Lagerbocks 23 zugeordneten Abschnitten abgesetzt und weist dort eine Querschnittsverminderung auf wodurch er beiderseits der Lageraugen eine Schulter 27 gebildet wird. Hierdurch wird der in die Lageraugen eingesetzte Gelenkbolzen 22 durch den von der ihn umschlingenden Schraubenfeder 25 ausgeübten Druck einseitig gegen die Laibung der Bohrungen in den Lageraugen gepreßt und somit sicher in durch die Schultern 27 axialer Richtung gehalten. Es ist daher nicht erforderlich, den Gelenkbolzen 22 und die Bohrungen in den Lageraugen mit genauer Passung zu fertigen.The hinge pin 22, as can be seen particularly in FIG. 3, is set down at its sections assigned to the bearing eyes of the bearing block 23 and there has a reduction in cross section, as a result of which a shoulder 27 is formed on both sides of the bearing eyes. As a result, the hinge pin 22 inserted into the bearing eyes is pressed on one side by the pressure exerted by the helical spring 25 which wraps around it against the reveal of the bores in the bearing eyes and is thus held securely in the axial direction by the shoulders 27. It is therefore not necessary to produce the hinge pin 22 and the bores in the bearing eyes with a precise fit.

Der aus der Vertiefung 18 vorkragende Ansatz 20 ist mit einer nach oben weisenden Schrägfläche ausgestattet. Diese bildet eine Führung, welche das Einsetzen der mit aufgesetztem Zapfventil 14 ausgestatteten Flasche in den Durchbruch 17 in der Decke der Nische 12 erleichtert.The projection 20 protruding from the recess 18 is equipped with an upwardly sloping surface. This forms a guide which facilitates the insertion of the bottle equipped with the nozzle 14 into the opening 17 in the ceiling of the recess 12.

Die Zapfvorrichtung 13 ist über einen unter der Decke der Nische schwenkbar angeordneten doppelarmigen Hebel 28 bedienbar, dessen aus der Nische 12 herausragender Arm eine Bedienungstaste darstellt, während der nach hinten ragende andere Arm auf das Zapfventil 14 einwirkt.The dispensing device 13 can be operated via a double-armed lever 28 which is pivotably arranged under the ceiling of the recess, the arm of which protrudes out of the recess 12 represents an operating button, while the other arm projecting to the rear acts on the dispensing valve 14.
