Description

1 TARIFF 5 From the base and side at multiple points in an assembly area. Household cooling unit with detachable rails One aspect of the invention is a house with a holding area for food and a rail that can be attached to a wall. It relates to the type of cooling device. 10 EP 1 926 956 B1, very short, block-like fittings for attaching to the side walls of an inner container. It describes a household cooling device where the fittings are placed on the side of the inner container. They are attached to the inside of the walls with mechanical fasteners. These fasteners are suitable for household use. 15 will house other separate components of the cooling device, such as the support grille or drawer. It is designed in this way. In addition, a household cooling device is known from US 2003 / 0173882 A1. Ray The elements are connected to an internal housing by mechanical links. The rail in US 2003 / 0173882 A1, It has an integrated spring element on a vertical wall. This is just the mechanical position 20 It allows for adjustment and then connection of an accessory that can be additionally attached to this rail. Here too, these mechanical connections are only simple snap-in connections or as described above. a rear-connected system is formed by sliding the aforementioned components into each other. These are connections. In the previous technique, the 25 connections were between a side wall of the inner container and a connecting piece. All the relevant elements provided for the connection are, by their nature, rigid and fixed elements. The task of the present invention is to create a household cooling device and a separate rail for household cooling. the device is simple yet mechanically extremely stable for a food storage area and a method by which it can be fixed or secured in a correctly positioned way 30 to create. This task was solved with a household cooling device according to claim 1. One aspect of the invention relates to a household refrigeration appliance with a food storage compartment. Home 35 This type of cooling device has at least one wall where it is horizontally positioned. In addition, the house This type of cooling device has at least one separate rail from this wall. The rail is on the top of the wall. 2 It is designed. The rail has an integrated snap element. On the wall, the snap element has 5 It has a snap fastener holder to which it attaches. This type of household cooling device can be mounted on a wall from above using a rail in a simple but safe way. and ensures secure mounting and connection. Therefore, the rail is suitable for home use. It sits on top of the cooling device, specifically directly on top of it. For this, mechanical 10 The connection is very simple, yet robust and stable. The relevant mounting forces and subsequent... Holding and load-bearing forces without the rail swaying or moving undesirably. or can be thoroughly absorbed without loosening again from a fixed position. Snap fastener. The connection is particularly advantageous for this purpose, because it can be created and then released again. It is easy to release and therefore can be connected in a reversible manner several times and 15 It is detachable. Furthermore, the snap fastener is highly functional and permanently effective. Especially... Passing over it is simple and offers many advantages in terms of accessibility for the user. A rail like this, placed exposed against a wall, is then subjected to a corresponding mechanical load. It can remain and, for example, later be placed on this rail and, if necessary, adjusted according to this rail by 20 It can be used to hold another food storage container that is being moved. This container Even if there is a relevant weight force, when this container is placed on it and moves When applied, the relevant forces can be easily absorbed by the rail, and in this case, it itself It does not perform unwanted movements relative to the wall. Therefore, the rail is functionally and specifically designed to hold a plate-shaped part such as a shelf. It is a conveyor rail for holding a food tray or a food container. In one arrangement, the interlocking element moves elastically along the rail. It has been designed to make attaching and detaching this snap-on connector easy. 30 In addition, the snap-on condition, especially the snap-on element to the snap-on element holder. This can be easily determined by how it is positioned. This can be perceived both tactilely and acoustically. This ensures that the track can always be securely positioned against the wall and quickly and easily moved to the final position. It allows for precise access. 35 In one configuration, the interlocking element is integrated into a vertical side wall of the rail, specifically. And so it was formed and arranged as a single unit with it. This is especially true on the side. It makes it easy to obtain a properly angled extension, and the snap element still attaches to the base of the rail. 3 5 This has been done. The upward and downward spring movement is therefore very precise and constantly stable. In one arrangement, the snap element is positioned perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the rail, and It protrudes laterally from the rail, especially when freely. As a result, it is very obvious. They are arranged in a location and lie very far apart, making them easily accessible and therefore a 10 It can be activated by the user, specifically to release the snap fastener. This lateral projection, oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, is particularly prominent in the vertical direction and Therefore, it is advantageous for snapping downwards onto the snap holder. The vertical side of the rail. Depending on its position on the wall, the elastic movement of the snap element and its suspension The removal can also be done very easily and without obstacle in the vertical direction. This 15 In this context, this lateral position is particularly advantageous in terms of accessibility, and in addition to this... Therefore, this snap fastener creates an obstacle forward and backward along the longitudinal axis. This prevents the rail from being undesirably stretched in the longitudinal direction. In one arrangement, the snap element is a 20 that snaps into the snap element holder in the snap position. It has a coupling piece. Also, the coupling element has a different frame than the coupling piece. It has a section. The roof section is adjacent to the interlocking section from above, specifically directly. In one arrangement, the roof section, when viewed horizontally, is overlapping in at least some areas. It extends beyond the dimensions of that section. In this context, horizontally, especially longitudinally along the rail. a plane in which the axis also lies or in a direction parallel to and perpendicular to this plane 25 This means that the width and depth directions of the household cooling device are determined by This creates a horizontal plane. Therefore, this roof section in particular is suitable for domestic cooling. the dimensions of the fitting part of the device in this width direction and / or this depth direction It extends beyond. This mechanically balances the transition piece on the one hand, and on the other hand... This roof section has a height stop of 30 for the interlocking element due to its geometry. This creates an unwanted situation. As a result, the interlocking element enters the interlocking element holder. It does not sink in any way. The position of the snap end of the snap element in the snap element holder. Thus it is advantageously predetermined and obtained, and in this context, tactile. It can also be perceived as follows: This situation allows the user to directly grasp the snap-in element and snap- This also applies when the element is manually placed into its holder. Finally, snap-fastener 35 This geometry of the element also facilitates the release of the snap fastener. The reason is to simplify the contact of the snap element with the roof section, so that the snap fastener... The situation is achieved more quickly and without any damaging effect on the snap connection. 4 This can be done. For example, by grasping the roof section and attaching the snap element on the roof section. 5 by pulling it up. In one arrangement, the roof section is therefore aligned in the height direction, snap element snap element an upper stop that is positioned outside the snap element holder when it is seated in its holder It forms. In particular, in this installed state, the roof section has snap fasteners in at least some areas. It closes the holder from above. In one example, this also adds to the snap element holder. It prevents the environment from entering or at least reduces its entry. In an application, a rail, when viewed along its longitudinal axis, is seen at its rear or back. It has an initial connecting element at one end. In the final assembled state of the rail, this is the first 15 The connecting element is attached to a primary connecting element holder. This primary connecting element Its retainer is formed on the second wall of the household cooling device. Specifically, the second one. The wall is not on the same plane as the first wall. The first wall and the second wall have two planes. They can be oriented parallel. However, in particular, the two planes can be oriented at an angle to each other. It is arranged. For example, the first wall could be a horizontal floor wall. The second wall could be a vertical 20... It could be a wall oriented in a certain direction. The second wall could be, for example, a back wall. This Therefore, it may limit the reception area at the back. Preferably, the first connecting element should be in the direction of this longitudinal axis of the rail and therefore Specifically, it passes into this first connecting element socket axially. This longitudinal 25 Viewed along the axis, the first connecting element and the first connecting element housing. Thus, in a combined state, they overlap. In one arrangement, the first connecting element is axial and therefore of the rail. When viewed along its longitudinal axis, it will protrude freely backwards. It is oriented in this way. Thus, the first connecting element is preferably a beam-like base. It protrudes rearward from a base element of the body or rail. This is functional and Locally, the rail has a more specific mechanical system, with a second wall different from the first wall, especially. It also allows for a special mechanical connection. This means the rail can be mechanically attached to several different walls. It supports fixing and determining its position. 35 In an arrangement, between the first fastener and the first fastener holder The connection is an interlocking connection. Specifically, it is solely and exclusively an interlocking connection. This In this case, no snap or similar fastener is provided. Thus, a simple connection is required. 5 The principle is obtained, which makes the rail mechanically stable and position-fixed. It helps to generally secure the walls. In an arrangement, when viewed along the longitudinal axis of the rail, especially a second side 10 on the wall, with the rail-mounted end in place, to a second fastening element holder. It has a second connecting element. The second connecting element holder is especially suitable for home use. This type of cooling device is formed on a third wall. The third wall is especially horizontal. It is a wall different from the first wall and preferably from the existing second wall. In this context, It preferably extends to a different plane, such as the first horizontal wall or the second wall. Specifically, This connection between the second connecting element and the second connecting element holder is 15 inches from the rail. It is formed perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. This is the second connecting element and the second link. the element housing, when this connection is created, on the longitudinal axis of the rail This means they are arranged so that they overlap each other in this perpendicular direction. This is the rail. It further improves its positioning on the household cooling device. Second connecting element. and with the second connecting element holder, this additional connecting link is also completely mechanical 20 It is a connecting link. Specifically, it is non-destructive, reversible, and can be disassembled and reused. It can be recreated. In one arrangement, the rail thus runs along three different localized walls of the household cooling appliance. can be connected directly from the point, mechanically in any case, especially if only 25 It can be mechanically attached. This is a particularly advantageous way to secure its position. Specifically, the connection between the second fastener and the second fastener holder is a It is an interlaced connection. It is particularly special and therefore only an interlaced connection. This Advantages that can be obtained in this way, first fastener and first fastener This has been explained previously in relation to the advantageous arrangement concerning the holder. In particular, 30 in the preferred arrangement of the first connector and the first connector housing the direction of the connection, the connection of the second fastener in the second fastener socket It is envisioned that it will be designed as a perpendicular transition connection to the direction. Specifically, the first The direction of the connection between the fastener and the first fastener socket, household type. The cooling device can be oriented in the depth direction and / or therefore especially on the 35th of the rail. It can be parallel to the longitudinal axis or coaxial. Preferably, a second connecting element. The second mounting direction between the second connecting element holder and the household cooling device. It is oriented in the width direction. 6 In one arrangement, the insertion hole is a groove-like recess. Specifically, a blind hole 5. It is a similar recess. This is an opening and therefore a clearance for the interlocking element socket. This means it was designed without it. Specifically, the first connecting element slot is grooved. It is shaped like this. It could be a blind hole-like recess. Here too, it's an indentation without an opening. It is created in the same way with a second connector slot in an arrangement. can be created. 10 In one configuration, the rail is formed as a single piece. Therefore, it can also be considered as a single piece. It can be manufactured. Specifically, it is made of plastic. For example, it could be an injection-molded component. In the final assembled state of the rail, one or more of the aforementioned connections may be present. Using the connection, only one or more walls of a household cooling device can be connected to 15 It is fastened. Especially with separate fastening tools such as screws or similar. Devices are not provided. In one application, a rail is a guide rail for a device component of a household cooling appliance. Specifically, the device component might be a plate-like part, such as a shelf or similar. 20 However, the device component can also be container-like, for example, a tray or a box. It is possible. In this context, the device component could be a food container or a food storage container. In one arrangement, the rail shall have at least one integrated section into which a separate guide roller can be fitted. It has a first cylinder retainer, specifically this one, at least partially recessed into it 25 It can be positioned. This guide roller is mounted on the rail of the separate device component mentioned above. When installed, this guide roller allows for better guidance relative to the rail. then this pulley is mechanically and securely arranged by the holder, and yet According to him, the movement should be as smooth as possible, especially in a way that allows for rotation. It can be done. 30 In one arrangement, the wall is a wall of the inner container, for example, the base wall. However, The wall may also be a separate wall of the inner container; this wall is arranged in the receiving space and is a part of the inner container. It covers at least part of the wall. 35 For this purpose, a wall is designated for mounting a separate rail on a household cooling appliance. It is also possible that it is designed in such a way that it cannot be dismantled. However, such a It is also possible to remove the wall, for example, from the installation area. This is recyclable and 7 It can be done non-destructively. Such a wall could be a horizontal panel, for example, like a shelf. A 5 The lid of a food storage system can also be such a wall, and on top of it, one of these types of walls can be placed. A small rail can be installed and from above in the height direction of the household cooling device. It can be fixed in place. A wall can have at least two layers. It can have an outer layer. This outer layer is 10 It can face towards the receiving area. Then there might be the layer on which the rail sits. The outer layer. It can be made of plastic. Another aspect of the invention is that a rail can be mounted on the wall of a household cooling device. It relates to a method. Household cooling appliances are specifically related to the method mentioned above or 15 It is designed according to an advantageous arrangement of this. Specifically, the snap-on rail is fitted into the snap-on element holder, so that the rail is connected via a snap-on connection. It is fixed to the first wall from above. This is especially important because it can be released without being damaged. It is a connection. Preferably, the rail is assembled with the second connecting element first, along with the second connecting element during assembly. The element is placed in its holder. This creates a temporary connection. This is especially useful for the rail's further alignment. then it is brought to the final position and on the one hand the interlocking element in the interlocking element holder the element it sits on and on the other hand the first connecting element the first connecting element It forms a rotating bearing that is attached to its holder. As a result, the rail preferably has three different, 25 It is especially designed to be detachably fixed to a wall oriented in a different direction. Especially... without openings in the walls. Specifically, and also in a general sense, the snap element in the snap element holder The snap-on end position is supported by the rail's contact with the third wall. This third wall is the interlocking 30 It represents a counter bearing for the element to fit into the snap-in element holder. Specifically The third wall, the snap element, is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A, and here the width It presses down on the snap fastener holder in that direction. As a result, the snap fastener, especially the a surface area of ​​the interlocking section facing away from the third wall, inside the snap fastener slot The part is pressed against a surface area facing the third wall. This allows for gripping and 35 A clamping condition is achieved. Therefore, during assembly, the third end of the rail at the front end... when it reaches the wall, especially turning, then especially the horizontal wall, especially The interlocking element, which is elastically pressed upwards against the base wall, 8 From the pre-stressed position, it is automatically seated downwards into the interlocking element holder. 5 Then the snap element is attached to the holder, precisely to at least the surface areas specified above. It is positioned so that it sits comfortably. Examples of the invention's applications are described in more detail below with the help of schematic drawings. It is explained as follows: 10 Fig. 1 schematic and perspective of an arrangement of a household cooling device according to the invention. It shows its appearance; Fig. 2 shows a perspective view of a rail arrangement according to the invention; 15 Fig. 3 shows the rear view of the rail as shown in Fig. 2; Fig. 4 shows several walls where the rail can be installed according to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, and a house type according to Fig. 1. This shows a perspective view of the partial components of the cooling device; 20 Fig. 5 shows the arrangement according to Figure 4 and also the rail is still separated according to Figure 2. It shows a picture of the situation; Fig. 6 shows a top view of the design compared to Fig. 5; 25 Fig. 7 shows the perspective view of the arrangement shown in Figs. 4 and 5. It shows, however, the rail is ultimately mounted to the walls; Fig. 8 shows an enlarged view of the design in Figure 7; 30 Fig. 9 shows a perspective section of the arrangement in Figure 8 in its interlocking connection position. It shows its appearance; and Fig. 10 shows the view in Figure 9 in a partial area in the cross-sectional plane. 35 In the figures, identical or functionally identical elements are linked by the same reference lines. It is labeled. 9 Figure 1 shows a simplified perspective of an arrangement of a household cooling appliance (1). It shows the appearance of a household cooling appliance (1) a refrigerator or freezer. It could also be a refrigerator-freezer combination appliance. It keeps food as intended. It is designed to hold food. Therefore, food can be stored and preserved inside. The household cooling appliance (1) has a housing (2). Inside the housing (2) is a separate inner cover. (3) is placed. The inner container (3) is designed to hold food as intended, at least It surrounds a holding area (4). The inner container (3) is preferably produced by thermoforming. Especially from plastic. It is made. The holding area (4) can be a refrigerator compartment or a freezer compartment. The inner container (3) has walls (5, 6) which are vertical side walls. Also, the inner container (3) has a 15 It has a ceiling wall (7) and a base wall (8). There is also a back wall (9). In an application example, the walls between (5) and (9) are directly receiving It can limit the area (4). However, separate from the walls (5) to (9) and from the walls Additional wall covering at least one of (5) to (9) partially or completely towards the holding area (4). It is also possible to provide the elements. These separate walls, for example, are design elements 20 or other panel parts. The household cooling appliance also has a door (10) that closes the storage compartment (4). In the arrangement example, a separate rail (11) is on a wall, where the inner container (3) is a 25 It is arranged on the wall, for example on the base wall (8). In another example, the rail (11) They can be placed directly inside the container (3) or on separate walls; for example, as described above, a panel arranged in the receiving area (4) for one wall or several walls of the inner container (3) It can be part of it. Therefore, the rail (11) can be connected to another wall, for example the base wall (8) It can also be placed against a wall that rests on top of it and is separate from it. This wall has 30 It does not necessarily have to be a part of the inner container (3). For this purpose, a wall is provided for mounting a separate rail (11) for domestic cooling (1) arranged in such a way that it cannot be removed (i.e., without being destroyed) from the device. It is possible. However, such a wall can be removed, for example, from the holding area (4) 35 It is also possible. This can be done in a non-destructive and reversible way. Such a thing The wall could be a horizontal panel, such as a shelf. The lid of a food storage system could also be this. It can be a wall of this type; at least one such rail (11) can be placed on this wall and the house type The cooling device (1) can be attached from above in the height direction (y-direction) and more 5 Then, it can be attached, especially to other walls. In the arrangement example, rail (11) is a guide rail. This is another rail that is separate from it. This means it is designed to guide a device component. Such a device component (12) for example, it could be a tray or another box. This appliance component (12) preferably contains food 10 It is designed to hold. Such a device component (12) can be held in a reversible manner. It can be removed from (4) or placed inside the area. In particular, at least one rail (11) of this kind Orienting the device component (12) in the depth direction (z-direction) of the household cooling device (1), especially for use in moving linearly in this spatial direction It is possible. 15 An example of a rail (11) is shown in Figure 2. Rail (11) is especially suitable as a single piece. It is designed. It can preferably be made of plastic. The rail (11) is a long element. It is formed. It has a longitudinal A axis. In particular, the rail (11), domestic cooling The longitudinal axis of the device (1) in the depth direction (z-direction) will be oriented with A 20 It is placed or can be placed in the holding area (4) as shown. In particular, on a horizontal wall formed by, for example, the base wall (8). It can be directly adjusted. It has an upper side (8a) facing the holding area (4). Ray (11) In its final assembled state, it sits directly on top of this. 25 Rail (11) has a side wall (13). The side wall (13) is oriented vertically here. It is oriented in the direction of elevation. The direction of elevation here is also the type of house. The y-direction is the height direction of the cooling device (1). In particular, this side wall (13) rail (11) represents the lateral boundary wall. In the final assembled state, it faces the holding area (4). 30 This is an example of an arrangement of the rail (11) here, for example on the side wall (6), a directly adjacent, especially contacting, another wall, here for example a vertical side This means that the rail (11) can be fitted for positioning the wall. In this context, this side wall (13), as formed by the vertical side wall (6) in this assembly It looks away from the wall. As a result, the side wall (13) is open and always accessible. 35 is in this situation. 11 The rail (11) has a connecting element (14). The connecting element (14) is integrated into the rail (11). The connecting element (14) is thus formed as one piece with the rail (11). In the example arrangement, the connecting element (14) is created on the side wall (13). Here The connecting element (14) is an elastically flexible element. In particular, this connecting element (14) extends laterally from the side wall (13) and will be freely articulated at this angle The connecting element (14) is thus arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A. It extends sideways. In this respect, it is arranged in an angled manner on the side. Connection element (14) has a clamping piece (15). This is because the wall, here in particular The base wall (8) is intended to be attached to a connecting element holder (16) (Figure 4). Here, the connecting element (14) is an axis that runs parallel to the longitudinal A axis 15 It is elastic and flexible, moving up and down around the edges. In addition, in the example arrangement, the connecting element (14) has a roof section (17). This The part is directly attached to the clamping part (15). From above in the height direction. When viewed, it is adjacent to the interlocking part (15). As can be seen, the roof part (17) is at least 20 at least in some areas it extends beyond the dimensions of the interlocking part (15). The roof section (17) is thus outside the clamping section (15) especially in the horizontal direction. It overflows. When the rail (11) is mounted on the wall (8), the roof section (17), the connecting element (14) connection 25 When the element is seated in its housing (16), the fastener is placed outside the housing (16) It can form an upper stop. The roof section (17) then fits this fastener socket. (16) can cover at least partially from above. In particular, from above in the direction of height. When viewed, the surface of the fastener holder (16) is by this roof part (17) It is coated. 30 In one example arrangement, the rail (11) has a first connecting element (18). This is where The rail (11) is arranged on the back side (19) of a base element (20). Base element (20) can be described here as beam-like. As can be seen, this first connecting element (18) axially and therefore in the direction of the longitudinal axis A from this rear side (19) 35 It extends outwards freely, protruding backwards. Therefore, from this angle, backwards... It protrudes. The connecting element (18) is here specifically a snap-in element. 12 The first connecting element (18) is directly connected to the first connecting element socket (21) mechanically 5 It is designed for connection. The first connecting element socket (21) is in this case a snap-in. It is a nest. Here, it is located on a second wall, different from the horizontal wall. This The second wall here is formed especially by the back wall (9). In addition, in the example arrangement, the rail (11) is equipped with a second connecting element (22) 10 (Figure 3). In this context, Figure 3 shows a view of the rear side (19) of the rail (11). This second connecting element (22) is shown to the rail (11), especially the base element. (20) is formed on another side wall (23). Especially integrated with it. It has been manufactured. The second connecting element (22) protrudes laterally in the width direction (x-direction). and thus it protrudes freely from this other side wall (23) of the rail (11). This 15 Therefore, in the opposite direction of the direction in which the connecting element (14) protrudes from the wall (13). It protrudes freely. The second connecting element (22) is preferably a snap-in element. The second It is intended to be connected to a connector housing (24) (Figure 4). In this context, The second connecting element housing (24) is integrated into a third wall. The second connection The element housing (24) is here an example of a snap-in retainer. As intended, here 20 It is designed for the insertion of only one interlocking element. This situation, firstly... This also applies to an example of an arrangement concerning the connector housing (21). This application In this example, the third wall is the vertical side wall (6). As can be seen in Figure 2, the connecting element (14) is 25 in the direction of the longitudinal axis A. When viewed, the rail (11) was formed in the first third of its length. An arrangement In the example, the first connecting element (18) is in the rear third of the length of the rail (11). It has been formed. Specifically, it has been formed at a rear end (25). The second connecting element (22) preferably it is formed in the first third of the length of the rail (11). The rail (11) is mounted In its final state, the side wall (23) is connected to this third wall, in this case to the vertical side wall 30 (6) It is designed to look at it. In particular, preferably directly adjacent to it, the most It is organized in at least some areas adjacent to it. The rail (11) described in Figure 2 is here, on the left side when viewed from the front, the base wall (8), rear 35 to be mounted in a corner area between wall (9) and left vertical side wall (6) It is designed. In addition, especially in addition to or instead of this, a rail (11) is also in front. Looking at it, the base wall (8), the back wall (9) and the opposite vertical side wall (5) are on the right side. It can be designed to be mounted in a corner area between them. This rail (11) 13 Then, when viewed from the front, the interlocking element (14) is inside in the width direction, i.e. vertical 5 so that it faces the side wall (6) and thus looks away from the vertical side wall (5) It is designed. In contrast, the second connecting element (22) faces the vertical side wall (5) and herein is a second connector housing (24) which is created and integrated, in particular It is attached in such a way that it is positioned along the width. Also, as can be seen in Figure 2, a pulley on the rail (11) in an arrangement example A holder (26) can be created, especially one that can be integrated here. A separate one not shown The guide roller can be placed in this roller holder (26) and the device component (12) can be placed in it. It can be rolled over from above. Specifically, the connector housing (16) is intended to be a groove-like recess. It is specifically designed as a blind hole-like recess. Specifically, it is designed to be without a hole. It is designed. In an example arrangement, the same situation applies to the first fastener slot (21) and / or a second connector slot (24) can also be provided. In particular, the rail (11) can only be attached to a few walls with mechanical and demountable connection links. It connects. Specifically, there are only three separate mechanical connection links mentioned here. It is fixed to a different wall. Figure 5 shows a perspective view of a section of the household cooling appliance (1) shown in Figure 1. It shows the appearance. Rail (11) is mounted here in an intermediate position. shown. In this assembled intermediate position, this rear first connecting element (18) It is currently seated in the first fastener holder (21). In this context, a The interlocking and therefore a match has already been achieved. As a result, ray (11) then, as indicated by the arrow in Figure 5, it can be rotated in the width direction by a certain 30°. It is fixed to the degree beforehand. In this context, the first connecting element (18) between the first connecting element holder (21) which is not yet connected in the final state A rotary bearing is formed by the connecting link. In the arrangement example, the rail (11) It is then turned towards the third wall, in this case the vertical side wall (6), so that The front end of the rail (11) is moved toward the third wall (6). This makes the connecting element (14) 35 then until the fastener holder (16) sits and the second fastener (22) It is done until it is joined with the fastener holder (24), especially in this context. an interlocking connection, meaning a special interlocking connection is implemented in this case. 14 In this context, Figure 6 shows a top-down view of the arrangement compared to Figure 5. This combined intermediate state in the background is noticeable. Figure 7 shows the arrangement in Figure 5, but ray (11) is as previously described. Shown in its final assembled state. 10 Figure 8 shows an enlarged section of the image in Figure 7. The connecting element (14) The position of the jammed end (16) in the fastener holder can be seen. In addition, a guide slot (27) is shown in Figure 8. The device component (12) guide 15 The part can fit into this guide slot. In this example, the guide slot (27) is at the top, specifically It is limited to a network (28). In particular and generally, this final position is supported by the contact of the rail (11) with the wall (6). This For this purpose, this wall (6) connection element (14) fits into the connection element socket (16) 20 It represents a counter-bed for. Therefore, the connecting element (14) is the third wall (6) by connecting in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A and here in the direction of width. The element is pressed into its holder (16). As a result, the snap element (14) has a surface area (15a), in particular the interlocking part (15) facing away from the third wall (6), connection The inner part of the element housing (16) is pressed onto a surface area (16a) facing the wall (6). This 25 In this way, a holding and clamping situation is achieved. Therefore, during assembly, the rail (11) front When it reaches the wall (6) at the end, especially turning, it then reaches the base wall (8) The connecting element (14) which is elastically pressed upwards, From the pre-stressed position, it automatically fits into the connector housing (16) downwards. Then, specifically at least in the surface areas mentioned above (15a, 16a), 30 It is positioned so that it fits perfectly into the fastener holder (16). However, an arrangement with a small amount of space is also possible. This is in the width direction. The measured gap, insertion of the connecting element (22) into the connecting element holder (24) It is possible if it is smaller than the depth. The gap is preferably a maximum of 2 mm, especially if... The maximum is 1 mm. This prevents the rail (11) from wobbling undesirably at this point. 35 In particular, the surface area of ​​the interlocking part (15) mentioned above (15a) is therefore It can also be completely vertical. In another application example, the interlocking part (15) also It may have a locking lug that protrudes freely to the side. This interlocking 5 The ear is then placed in a slot preferably available in the fastener holder (16). It can pass through. Thus, the snap-in connection is secured against loosening in the vertical direction. It is possible. Figure 9 shows a perspective cross-sectional view of the arrangement in Figure 8. Here, 10 The cross-sectional plane is the connection between the connecting element (14) and the connecting element holder (16). The area is drawn along the width and height directions. In Figure 10, the representation from Figure 9 is shown in the cross-sectional plane, and a partial area from Figure 9 is shown. shown. 15 Preferably, the base wall (16b) of the fastener holder (16) is sloped. Preferably It may be inclined towards the wall (6). This is the connection in the fastener holder (16). It can improve the positioning of the element (14) especially in the width direction. The lower side (15b) of the anchoring section (15) has a complementary slope like the base wall (16a). can have a shape 16 Reference List 5 1.
