Abstract

The invention relates to a profiled arrangement ( 1 ) particularly for a refrigerator and/or freezer device ( 10 ), comprising at least one base ( 8 ), at least one securing arrangement ( 2 ), at least one sealing arrangement ( 3 ) and at least one profiled element ( 5 ), characterised in that at least one free end ( 51 ) of the profiled element ( 5 ) is arranged on the sealing arrangement ( 3 ), and that at least one additional free end ( 52 ) of the profiled element ( 5 ) is connected to the base ( 8 ) by means of at least one movement arrangement ( 4 ) that at least partially projects into the sealing arrangement ( 3 ), said movement arrangement comprising two movement sections ( 40, 41 ) arranged approximately opposite one another. The invention also relates to a closing element ( 20 ) for a refrigerator and/or freezer device ( 10 ) having such a profiled arrangement ( 1 ), and to a refrigerator and/or freezer device ( 10 ) comprising such a profiled arrangement ( 1 ).

Claims (21)

1. A profiled arrangement for a refrigerator or freezer apparatus, comprising:

a base;

a fastening arrangement;

a sealing arrangement; and

a profiled element;

wherein a first free end of the profiled element is disposed on the sealing arrangement;

wherein the profiled element, in relation to a hollow chamber of the sealing arrangement, is disposed on the hollow chamber so as to be approximately orthogonal thereto;

wherein a second free end of the profiled element is connected to the base by way of at least one movement arrangement;

wherein the movement arrangement protrudes into the sealing arrangement approximately at an acute angle in relation to the profiled element;

wherein the movement arrangement is disposed so as to be approximately orthogonal to the base of the profiled arrangement;

wherein the profiled element between the two free ends thereof has a width of approximately 5 to 50 mm and which has two movement portions that are disposed so as to be approximately opposite one another;

wherein the movement arrangement is produced from a soft elastic polymer material having a Shore A hardness according to DIN EN ISO 868 of approximately 50 to 100.

2. The profiled arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the profiled element is disposed approximately at an acute or an obtuse angle on the sealing arrangement.

3. The profiled arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the profiled element is disposed on the sealing arrangement so as to be approximately orthogonal.

4. The profiled arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the profiled element is connected to the sealing arrangement by way of a reinforcement element.

5. The profiled arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the profiled element is connected to a hollow chamber of the sealing arrangement by way of a reinforcement element.

6. The profiled arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the profiled element has a cover element.

7. The profiled arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the movement arrangement has two movement portions that are disposed so as to be approximately opposite one another and are interconnected by way of a connection element.

8. The profiled arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the sealing arrangement or the profiled element is produced from a soft elastic polymer material having a Shore A hardness according to DIN EN ISO 868 of approximately 50 to 100.

9. A closure element for a refrigerator or freezer apparatus having the profiled arrangement as claimed in claim 1 .

10. A refrigerator or freezer apparatus having the profiled arrangement as claimed in claim 1 .
