Definitions

  • the object of the invention is to overcome these disadvantages and to provide a door that offers a high level of user comfort in that the user can freely decide with each operation whether he wants to open the door to the left or to the right.
  • the invention relates to a refrigerator and/or freezer with a compartment for storing refrigerated or frozen goods, which is closed by a door, the door being a swing door which, in an unchanged configuration, can either be turned to the right as well as can be swung open to the left.
  • the other ends are each inserted into a bearing block of the device, from which they can be guided in the same direction by vertical movement.
  • Each bearing block has, for example, a vertical bore into which an upward-pointing extension at the lower end of the respective push rod is inserted from below.
  • the respective push rod can have a shaped section in its lower region, in which it runs in an arc around the bearing block and returns to the vertical below the bearing block.
  • the extension can be arranged at the lower end of the shaped section.
  • the door handle is spring-loaded and moves the push rod accordingly.
  • one structural element is arranged per push rod, which is designed to release the locking connection when the door is closed.
  • the push rod is automatically returned to the starting position due to the preload.
  • the locking means of the door are each arranged on a spring element with a first ramp, and that a second ramp running in the opposite direction to the first ramp is arranged on the bearing blocks, the two opposing ramps being designed in such a way that during the last Phase of the closing movement of the door, the spring element is bent against the restoring force inherent in it so that the locking means of the push rod is released from the locking means of the door and the push rod is released for a vertical movement to return to the starting position.
  • the refrigerator and/or freezer according to the invention can be a device which has a first compartment, preferably a cooling space, and a second compartment, preferably a freezer compartment, arranged within the first compartment, the one designed according to the invention Door is arranged to close the second compartment relative to the first compartment.
  • the door designed according to the invention can therefore be a door that closes a freezer compartment arranged within the normal refrigerator compartment.
  • Figures 1a and 1b show a front view of the uppermost area of a normal refrigerator compartment 110 of a refrigerator and/or freezer 100 according to the invention, in which there is a freezer compartment 130 arranged under the ceiling.
  • a freezer compartment 130 is closed using the door 10.
  • Figure 1b the same arrangement is shown without door 10.
  • the design of the bearing blocks 30 and their attachment to the front of the partition 120 can be based on the Figures 2a and 2b see the enlarged views of the area of the frame 131 in question.
  • the area is in Figure 2a with bearing block 30 inserted and in the Figure 2b shown without bearing block 30 inserted therein.
  • Figures 3a-3e show sectional views through the freezer door 10 and the surrounding areas.
  • the cuts of the Figures 3a-3b are guided in the plane of the removal opening and run through the vertical pivot axes A.
  • Figure 3a the entire width of the freezer compartment 130 is covered, in Figure 3b only the right half.
  • the cuts of the Figures 3c-3d are guided in a horizontal plane, approximately at the middle height of the door 10.
  • Figure 3c the entire width of the freezer compartment 130 is covered, in Figure 3d only the right area.
  • the cut of the Figure 3e shows a vertical cross section through the door 10.
  • a push rod 40 is guided vertically through a vertical passage 12 of the door 10 on the left and right.
  • the passage 12 extends to the upper edge of the door and is open at the top, and on the other hand it extends into a lower area 13 of the door 10, which is open at the bottom and at the back and is only covered at the front by a front wall of the door 10 .
  • the bearing block 30 is also arranged in this area 13 when the door is closed.
  • the Figure 4 shows a variant of the view Figure 1a , with push rods 40 being inserted into the receptacles 20 and bearing blocks 30 on the left and right, but in which the door is hidden.
  • push rods 40 being inserted into the receptacles 20 and bearing blocks 30 on the left and right, but in which the door is hidden.
  • the push rod 40 can be displaced in the vertical direction in the passage 12 in such a way that the upper rod end 41 and the extension 43 can be pulled downwards out of the receptacle 20 or the bore 32 by a vertical displacement. In this state, there is no longer any pivot bearing on the respective side, but instead the door 10 can be lifted off the frame 131 there.
  • Each of the push rods 40 is held against its inside by means of a compression spring, not shown in the figures Figures 3a and 3b shown starting position biased, in which its upper end 41 is inserted into the receptacle 20 and its extension 43 into the bore 32.
  • the door comprises two handles 50, which are arranged on the right and left side of each other on the underside of the door 10, specifically in the room 13.
  • everyone who Handles 50 can be operated by a user after reaching behind the lower door area by pulling them forward, i.e. in the opening direction of the door 10.
  • the respective handle 50 is tilted forward by a certain angle about a horizontal handle axis B that runs parallel to the plane of the removal opening.
  • Each of the handles 50 is connected to one of the push rods 40 in such a way that when the handle 50 is actuated as described by a user, the push rod 40 is pulled downwards in the vertical direction out of the receptacle 20 and the bore 32 of the bearing block 30 against the preload of the compression spring becomes.
  • the handle 50 comprises on its side facing the push rod 40 a pin 51 which projects horizontally in the direction of the push rod and which engages in a horizontal rail guide 44 of the push rod 40 facing the pin 51.
  • Figures 5a and 5b recognize which shows the door 11 from behind, once with handle 50 and push rod 40 in the starting position ( Figure 5a ) and once with handle 50 and push rod 40 in the activated position ( Figure 5a ).
  • the left push rod 40 is pulled downwards against the pretension of the compression spring, so that the upper rod end 41 is pulled out of the receptacle 20 and the extension 43 is pulled out of the bore 32 of the bearing block 30.
  • the left side of the door 10 is thus unlocked and can be lifted forward from the frame 131, which is also done by the forward pulling force exerted by the user, which has already led to the activation of the handle 50 on the respective side.
  • the door 10 is therefore swung open to the left about the axis A formed by the push rod 40 on the right side of the door 10, which is still in the starting position.
  • Locking means in the form of a notch 45 formed on the push rod 40 and a projection 15 formed on the door 10, which form a locking connection in the activated position of the push rod 40, i.e. after the push rod 40 has been pulled downwards by actuating the handle 50, which prevents the push rod 40 from returning upwards to its starting position.
  • the notch 45 of the push rod 40 is arranged at the end of a spring element 46 projecting from the arcuate region 42 of the push rod 40, which can be bent out against a restoring force resulting from the material elasticity (to the left in the figure) so that the edges the notch 45 can be lifted over the projection 15 and the projection 15 can snap into the notch.
  • a mechanism is also provided to close the locking connection between the projection 15 and the notch 45 when the door is closed solve.
  • the mechanism described works both at the left end of the door 10 when the door 10 is opened by operating the left door handle 50 and swinging it to the left and then closing the door 10, as well as at the right end of the door 10 when the door 10 is opened Activate the right door handle 50 and swing it open to the right and then close the door 10. No modifications need to be made to the door 10 for this. As it is, it can be swiveled both to the left and to the right.
  • Figures 8a and 8b ultimately show perspective views of the freezer compartment 130 with the door 10 swung open to the left and right.
  • the invention has the following features and advantages:
  • the bearing block at the bottom left and right is mounted in the container using undercuts without any additional parts.
  • the door bearing is not visible when the door is closed.
  • the door opening mechanism is not visible.
  • the door is easy to assemble and disassemble, e.g. for cleaning by the customer.
