Definitions
- the present invention relates to a refrigerator with an interior space with at least one storage device for storing food or other objects.
- the storage device can be, for example, a support plate, a door rack or a pull-out box.
- Storage devices of today's refrigeration devices are made of plastics, glass and / or metal.
- Storage devices made in particular of transparent plastics have the disadvantage that they are sensitive to scratching. Your parking surfaces can therefore appear matt after long use.
- storage devices made of plastic tend to bend under high weight loads.
- Storage facilities made of glass are very sensitive to impact. They must therefore be reinforced at least on the edges, for example with a plastic.
- Metal grid storage devices have the disadvantage that objects can fall through the grid gaps. In addition, objects such as cups can tip over easily.
- the present invention was therefore based on the object of providing a refrigeration device of the type mentioned which overcomes these disadvantages of the prior art.
- a refrigerator with an interior space with at least one storage device for objects to be set, such as food is provided.
- the storage device comprises a storage area made of a ceramic material.
- ceramic material has a high scratch resistance.
- the ceramic shelf therefore remains attractive even after prolonged use.
- ceramic material has high strength.
- the shelf does not bend even with high loads.
- Ceramic material is also insensitive to impact. It is therefore not necessary, for example, to reinforce the edges of the storage surface with other materials, as is customary, for example, in storage devices made of glass.
- the at least one storage device is preferably made in one piece from ceramic material.
- the advantage of this is that such a storage device is simple and therefore inexpensive to manufacture.
- the refrigeration device preferably comprises a plurality of storage devices. This can be, for example, support plates, door racks or pull-out boxes.
- the ceramic material is glazed. This protects the ceramic material from dirt. In addition, its mechanical strength and chemical resistance are increased. Furthermore, the storage device is given an optically appealing shine by the glaze.
- the storage device can contain pigments, preferably in the glaze. This makes it possible to design the storage devices in different colors or color combinations.
- the at least one storage device can have an underglaze decoration and / or an onglaze decoration. This makes it possible, for example, to put a lettering with the company name of the refrigerator manufacturer on the storage device.
- Two of the storage devices are preferably designed differently in color.
- the refrigeration device according to the invention can be a cooling device, such as a refrigerator or a freezer, or a freezer, such as a freezer or a freezer.
- the devices can be used in private households as household devices as well as in trade or in the catering trade.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a refrigerator 1 according to the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a pull-out box 7.
- the refrigeration device 1 shows a refrigeration device 1, here in the form of a refrigerator 1, with a body 2 and a door 3.
- the refrigeration device 1 comprises an interior space 4. Food or other objects to be cooled can be stored therein, as a rule at temperatures of approximately 0 ° C should be stored up to about 10 ° C.
- the refrigerator has storage facilities such as support plates 6, pull-out boxes 7 and door racks 9.
- the door racks 9 are attached to the door 3, specifically to the inside wall 8 of the door.
- the body 2 of the refrigerator 1 comprises two side walls 10 facing the interior 4, which are provided with guide rails 11 for the support plates 6, and a bottom surface 12 on which the pull-out boxes 7 rest.
- the support plates 6 are made in one piece from a ceramic material. A glaze with colored pigments covers the entire surface of the support plates 6.
- the support plates 6 each comprise an upper side 13, the entire surface of which forms a storage area 14 for objects to be placed.
- Fig. 2 shows a perspective view of one of the pull-out boxes 7 from Fig. 1.
- the pull-out box 7 has a bottom 15, which forms a shelf 14 'for objects to be placed, and side walls 16.
- the weight of the in the acts on the shelf 14' Pull-out box 7 brought objects, which are not shown here.
- the pull-out box 7 is made in one piece from a ceramic material with a glaze covering the surface of the pull-out box 7.
- the door racks 9 shown in FIG. 1, like the pull-out box 7 from FIG. 2, have a base 17, which forms a storage surface 14 ′′, and side walls 18.
- the door racks 9 are made in one piece from a ceramic material with a glaze the door racks 9, however, only the floors 17 from one are made of ceramic material and the side walls 18 are made of another material.
- the glazes with which the support plates 6, the pull-out boxes 7 and the door racks 9 are each provided can have different pigments.
- the glazing of the support plates can be mixed with pigments in an earth tone, which make the ceramic nature of the support plates obvious to an observer, and that of the pull-out boxes 7 can be mixed with white pigments.
- the storage facilities can thus be designed in different colors.
- the door racks 9 can each be provided on their front sides 19 with an underglaze decor or an overglaze decor.
- an underglaze decor or an overglaze decor.
- the manufacturer's company name can be applied.
- a glaze should be transparent if desired.
