Description

The shelf that is used for modular refrigerating appliance

The present invention relates to a kind ofly to be applied in the modular refrigerating appliance, especially be applied in the shelf in the refrigerator.This shelf usually loads article to be refrigerated, and the height of these article can not be greater than the height of lattice that limited downwards by shelf.If the height of article is little, then refrigerating space is difficult to effective utilization, because the not all article of waiting to leave in the refrigerator all are suitable for stacking, even can stacking, it be pretty troublesome that stacking needs time and intervention to be placed on to stack the article of below.

In order to improve the possibility of the space utilization in modular refrigerating appliance, a kind of shelf had been proposed, on its downside, be provided with the maintenance rail, keep installing in the rail container that hangs by shelf at this.Even the article on being placed on this shelf are during widely less than the height of lattice, this container also can make the volume of lattice below the shelf be effectively utilized.

Task of the present invention is to improve the diversity of the space utilization possibility of this shelf further.

This task will be by having claim 1 the shelf of feature solve.

The maintenance rail that extends on the upper side of plate of shelf also allows on the side a special bearing part that is used for chilled goods to be installed on the shelf.

Keep rail preferably at least one of its end on each, and preferably keep an end of one of rail to be connected in the leading section up and down.Preferred this connection is to produce by a clip that strides across the leading edge of described plate, and this clip can move and also can make thus and keep rail to move along plate along leading edge.Therefore keep rail always can be moved on the position of shelf, this maintenance rail can be utilized most effectively on this position.

What meet the requirements is that a unique clip makes all up and down keep rail to interconnect.Even therefore keep on when mobile between the rail spacing and down the spacing between the maintenance rail can keep constant, and the bearing part that its width adapts to the spacing between these rails can reliably keep with moving irrespectively of these rails.

On these and down the rear end of each of maintenance rail also can be connected by a clip, and this clip strides across the back edge of described plate and can move along back edge.When these kept two ends of rails to connect by this clip respectively, they had constituted a unit that extends around the shelf annular, and they are disengaging plate by mistake under the situation that rail disconnects only.But these rails also can be thrown off on the non-destruction ground slave plate, and its mode is by pulling down in the refrigerator and more interconnective rail being slided along side direction with shelf.

Preferred down and/or go up and keep rail on their leading section, to open wide so that allow a bearing part to be installed, and needn't dismantle rail by inserting the rail from the front.Bearing part is undesirably thrown off from keep rail when pulling out, keep projection that is directed upwards towards of structure on the front end of bearing-surface of the described bearing part of support of rail at least one, only ought side by side draw and upwards carry Shi Caike and make the bearing part that remains in the rail surpass this projection, this can be avoided bearing part to pull out from keep rail absent-mindedly effectively.

Following maintenance rail especially can be utilized to pack into therein a shell dish or a bottle rack as bearing part.The last maintenance rail bearing part that is used for beverage can that can be utilized to pack into therein.Such bearing part can be simply be made of a substrate parallel with the plate of shelf and rib that erected by substrate, that be provided with recess, beverage can be remained in rib in the position of recumbency in order to avoid roll down.

One can be installed in or descend to keep the bearing part in the rail according to selection is the egg support.

This egg support simply mode by the substrate of a tape punching, by substrate bend the sidewall that and erect by sidewall, be coupled to the flange that keeps in the rail and constitute, its middle punch is provided to receive egg.Suppose when sidewall is enough high that this egg support can be inserted into respectively according to user's needs and keep in rail or the following maintenance rail.
