However, it has been shown to be useful to the user - a refrigerator, e.g. a housewife, is desired, in to be able to arrange one or more trays in various selectable ways so that under the refrigerator other conditions also accommodated other items can be.

The object of the invention is to create a device that can be moved into a different position. Use in a refrigerator that allows a

P shell in one opposite to that running from front to back Support center line offset position, so that the user can choose a tray -in a certain position or can arrange in another position. Further the invention provides a device of the type mentioned, which are made using common materials with low Can produce costs, and the use of which does not or only marginally reduce the cost of producing a refrigerator elevated. Furthermore, the invention provides a device by means of which several shells of different Type or size, e.g. a larger and a smaller bowl, can be supported in such a way that by reversing the

With the support device, it is possible to introduce the trays into the refrigerator in an opposite position as well. '~ - ~ -

For the stated purpose, the invention provides a removable one ! Support frame, which comprises a continuous component made of wire which can be arranged so that it extends along the inner walls of a refrigerator, which are provided with suitable supports for this purpose. There are at least two open ends on this wire Rail or guide parts to accommodate side flanges attached to a bowl or bowl so that the -! Can take the support frame out of the refrigerator and put it back into the refrigerator in a different position, around the bowl in a different position in the refrigerator

The invention and advantageous details of the invention are shown in the following on the basis of schematic drawings explained in more detail using an exemplary embodiment.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a frame adapted to be supported together with two different trays in a refrigerator, for example can. '

Fig. 2 is similar to Fig. 1, but shows the same combination of shells in which the shells are arranged opposite to Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a section along line 3-3 in Fig. 1, which also shows part of the rear wall of the refrigerator.

Fig. 4 is a partial section taken along line 4-4 in Fig. 2.

Fig. 5 shows in perspective a support part which. on a partially shown side wall of a refrigerator can be attached. "■

Fig. 6 is a partial section, drawn to a larger scale, taken along line 6-6 in Fig. 2 and shows parts one wall of a refrigerator and a cover for one Peel.

Fig. 7 shows a perspective view of part of the rear wall of the refrigerator in connection with a device for supporting trays.

According to the drawings, the invention provides a support frame 10 before, which is a cohesive component 1.2 made of wire comprises that of aluminum or other suitable metal can exist, and on which at least two parallel profile parts 15 are attached, which extend in the refrigerator, not shown, from the front to the rear and so arranged

are that the openings have their generally U-shaped cross-sections facing each other », so that these profile parts lateral flanges f, f of a container, e.g. a fresh - Holding shell T or the like., Can accommodate the container to support. . .

According to FIGS. 2 and 4, the U-shaped profile parts 15 are open at the front and rear end, so that the - shell T can insert into the profiles from "both / ends, so that it is supported by the profiles.

It can be seen that in the case of the invention Construction in comparison with known constructions it is possible to arrange the shells in different ways » In the frame; the invention can also be a single container of any suitable or desired size and with others Provide desired properties, the opposite of the front-to-back central plane of the refrigerator Can be arranged offset in one direction or the other.

Of course, such a container can either be on one side or on the other side of the mentioned central plane be arranged, and if its arrangement is to be changed, this can easily be done by simply pulling the frame 10 out of its guides and pulling it after a rotation of 180 in a horizontal plane reinserts, whereupon the container on the opposite one Side of the median plane can be arranged.

Furthermore, in the embodiment shown in the drawings, two containers can be provided which are related to their type or size differ considerably, and which are arranged in different positions in a similar manner can. It should be noted that you can use more than two containers or bowls, if you know the number of on the coherent component 12 attached pairs of support profiles or guide rails changes accordingly. ■
