Refrigerating device with telescopic extension
View Patent ↗A refrigerating device is provided that includes a body, a door and a carrier for refrigerated products, the carrier being supported on adapters anchored on movable rails of telescopic extensions and displaceable between an inserted and a pulled-out position. The movable rails of the telescopic extensions are hidden under a tray and the tray of each telescopic extension is clamped between the movable rail thereof and the adapter anchored thereon.
1. A refrigerating device comprising:
a body;
a door;
a pair of telescopic extension elements, each telescopic extension element being secured to the body and having a movable rail;
a carrier for refrigerated products, the carrier having lateral sides each defining a horizontally oriented shoulder;
a plurality of adapters each anchored directly to a respective one of the movable rails, the adapters securing the carrier to the movable rails of the telescopic extensions elements and the pair of telescopic extension elements being operable to permit the carrier to move outwardly relative to the body and to retract inwardly relative to the body; and
a pair of covers, each cover substantially concealing at least a portion of a respective telescopic extension element, and each cover being clamped to and sandwiched between the movable rail of the respective telescopic extension element and the respective adapter anchored to the movable rail,
wherein each of the shoulders directly engages a respective one of the adapters.
2. The refrigerating device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each cover is a tray.
3. The refrigerating device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein one of the adapters includes a toggle that engages in a latching opening of the movable rail of the respective telescopic extension element to which the adapter is secured and the toggle passes through an opening in a tray secured to the movable rail of the respective telescopic extension element.
4. The refrigerating device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the adapter is displaceable between a first position in which the toggle can pass through the latching opening and a second position in which an arm of the toggle projects over an edge of the latching opening.
5. The refrigerating device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein, in the second position, a spring-loaded projection of the adapter engages in a recess in the movable rail.
6. The refrigerating device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the adapter has a plate covering the opening of the tray.
7. The refrigerating device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each adapter has a generally L-shape; with a top part horizontally extending over a top part of the cover, and a side part that extends over a side part of the cover.
8. The refrigerating device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the shoulders directly engages a top side of a respective one of the adapters.
9. The refrigerating device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the shoulders at least partially directly contacts a top side of a respective one of the adapters.
10. The refrigerating device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the horizontally oriented shoulders are horizontally disposed over a top side of the adapters.
11. The refrigerating device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the horizontally oriented shoulders at least partially directly contacts a respective one of the adapters.
12. A refrigerating device comprising:
a body;
a door;
a pair of telescopic extension elements, each telescopic extension element being secured to the body and having a movable rail;
a carrier for refrigerated products;
a plurality of adapters each anchored directly to a respective one of the movable rails, the adapters securing the carrier to the movable rails of the telescopic extensions elements and the pair of telescopic extension elements being operable to permit the carrier to move outwardly relative to the body and to retract inwardly relative to the body; and
a pair of covers, each cover substantially concealing at least a portion of a respective telescopic extension element, and each cover being clamped to and sandwiched between the movable rail of the respective telescopic extension element and the respective adapters anchored to the movable rail,
wherein each cover is a tray,
wherein one of the adapters includes a toggle that engages in a latching opening of the movable rail of the respective telescopic extension element to which the adapter is secured and the toggle passes through an opening in the tray secured to the movable rail of the respective telescopic extension element,
wherein the adapter is displaceable between a first position in which the toggle can pass through the latching opening and a second position in which an arm of the toggle projects over an edge of the latching opening, and
wherein another one of the adapters includes a toggle that engages in a latching opening of the movable rail of the respective telescopic extension element to which the adapter is secured and the toggle passes through an opening in a tray secured to the movable rail of the respective telescopic extension element, the another adapter is displaceable between a first position in which the toggle can pass through the latching opening and a second position in which an arm of the toggle projects over an edge of the latching opening, and the two adapters with toggles are secured on the same movable rail and are displaceable in opposite directions between their first and second positions.
13. A refrigerating device comprising:
a body;
a door;
a pair of telescopic extension elements, each telescopic extension element being secured to the body and having a movable rail;
a carrier for refrigerated products;
a plurality of adapters each anchored directly to a respective one of the movable rails, the adapters securing the carrier to the movable rails of the telescopic extensions elements and the pair of telescopic extension elements being operable to permit the carrier to move outwardly relative to the body and to retract inwardly relative to the body; and
a pair of covers, each cover substantially concealing at least a portion of a respective telescopic extension element, and each cover being clamped to and sandwiched between the movable rail of the respective telescopic extension element and the respective adapters anchored to the movable rail,
wherein each cover is a tray,
wherein one of the adapters includes a toggle that engages in a latching opening of the movable rail of the respective telescopic extension element to which the adapter is secured and the toggle passes through an opening in the tray secured to the movable rail of the respective telescopic extension element, and
wherein a cap piece of the adapter is arranged above one top side of the tray and a projection of the adapter engages through an opening of the tray between the top side thereof and the movable rail.
