Definitions
- the present invention relates to a support which is suitable for support a panel in order to form a shelf capable of being used in a refrigerator and the like.
- the present invention relates to also a shelf formed from this support and from a panel to support items such as food, this shelf intended to be fixed or mounted, in a position approximately horizontal, inside a compartment, more particularly inside a refrigerated compartment such as a refrigerator or the like.
- the shelves used to support and store food, containers, bags, jars and the like in refrigerators are usually formed by a glass or plastic panel. It is also known to coat such a panel with a plastic surround in order to avoid injuries on the sharp edges of these panels and / or to reinforce the panels. There is a problem with these shelves when liquid has been accidentally spilled, for example because a container has been dropped or broken, and this liquid must be prevented from drips and other consequences that could be detrimental to the preservation of food in good hygienic conditions.
- the object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks by offering a simple, economical and extremely effective solution, in particular a solution which makes it possible to easily manufacture and economically suitable shelves for refrigerators or the like, these shelves having means to prevent overflow of liquid and prevent this liquid from dripping below these shelves, and these shelves being easy to clean, make, assemble or possibly replace.
- a support adapted to support a panel, and intended to form a shelf capable of being used in a refrigerator or the like, this support having, in at least one of its sides, a channel (or gutter) intended to receive liquids when necessary.
- the support has a bearing surface and on at least one of its sides, a channel extending beyond (or beyond the edge) of the load-bearing surface.
- the bearing surface corresponds to a part (or parts) of the support on which (which) the panel, added the case appropriate to form the shelf, must rest, this or these parts being approximately horizontal in position of use.
- this or these parts delimit an area whose dimensions correspond approximately to the dimensions of the face of the panel which must be placed in contact with the support.
- the support surface of the support must be at least below from each corner or each edge of the panel.
- the channel on at least one side is intended to extend beyond (or beyond the edge) of the panel to be placed on the support to form the shelf, whatever the dimensions of the area delimited by the part or parts forming the supporting surface.
- a channel border is intended to coincide with at least part of the edge (or edge) of the panel coming into contact with the support on the side where the channel is located.
- the channel is provided for start where the panel ends or the panel overlooks (or opens onto) the canal over at least part of it one of its sides.
- the channel is by example designed to be partially located under the panel, said channel extending beyond the panel to receive, if necessary, the liquid falling from the panel.
- the channel is preferably intended to follow (or extend along or to be continued) the side of the panel to rest on the side of the support where there is the channel (it is then called a peripheral or border channel). In practice, it follows or extends (or is located) along the side where it is located and preferably extends along most of the length of said side.
- This channel is preferably continuous but it can also be discontinuous or the support can have, on the side considered, several channels distributed along most of the length of said side. The most of it means more than 50% and advantageously more than 75%.
- the length of the channel extending along the side is less than the length of said side, generally slightly lower. In most cases, the length of the channel is approximately the length of the side of the panel to rest on the side of the support where the channel is located.
- the channel can be included in a portion of the support extending beyond the bearing surface and / or the panel to be the case if necessary supported, this portion of the support not necessarily limited to the channel.
- this portion may include, in addition to the channel, a handle or a part with a wall overhanging the channel or descending.
- the support according to the invention can thus be defined as having a peripheral extension beyond the panel, with a small liquid retaining channel cooperating with at least one side of the support.
- the bottom of the canal must be located below the upper side (intended to support articles) of the panel in front of the if necessary be placed on the support, and the edge (of the channel) located the most near the panel must not be higher than said upper face.
- the channel must be in a plane below the plane in which the panel is located, or the channel must be below of the panel. It is for example below the edge of the panel, and possibly, one of the edges of the canal is intended to coincide with part of the underside of the panel resting on the support, in particular is intended to coincide with the lower edge of the panel located on the side where the canal is located.
- the support according to the invention is presented approximately in the form of a frame.
- the support according to the invention is a frame intended for receive a panel to form a shelf for a refrigerator or similar, and having at least in determined parts to support the panel, one or more wings, and also having along at least one side, a channel located in a position lower than the wing (to the wings) horizontal (s).
- the frame can be "open” (the inside of a panel placed on the support not in this case resting on a part of the support) or no (it then has a plane-shaped bearing surface approximately full which must be under the majority or on all the surface of the panel placed in contact with the support).
- the support or frame according to the invention is designed to so that in its position of use inside a refrigerator or similar it has at least one channel as defined above, on its front side (the side facing the refrigerator door) and / or on at least one of its lateral sides.
- the support or frame according to the invention in position of use (especially when placed inside the refrigerator or similar) is not perfectly horizontal but is very slightly tilted (without this being visible or detrimental to the correct support of articles), so that a liquid, in the event of spillage, flows towards the front, and said support or frame has at least one channel such as defined above on its front side, and possibly in some cases, on its lateral sides, so that the liquid flows in the channel because of slight tilt.
- the channel can also be on the rear side of the support (the front, rear and lateral sides being defined considering the support or the shelf in the use position).
- the channel can extend continuously along several sides of the support (e.g. along three sides) and / or the support can have a channel on one side, separate from the channel on another side.
- the support may have a peripheral liquid retaining channel extending at least beyond the front edge and / or beyond the edges side of the panel (and / or possibly on the rear edge of the panel), the channel generally being of a block when it is on several sides, but can also be in the form of several channels, with at least one separate channel for each side involved.
- the channel (s) are generally roughly shaped U.
- the channel or channels may have at their base or laterally, at least one cooperating hole with at least one removable plug which serves to empty the channel (s) when filled with liquid.
- a shelf in particular intended to be placed inside a refrigerator or similar, comprising a support according to the invention.
- the support for example has an approximately full top surface and flat allowing direct storage of articles without the need for additional panel it can be used as such as a shelf.
- the shelf of the invention includes at least one panel for receiving articles, and a support according to the invention for supporting said panel.
- the support in the shelf of the invention is a piece reported, i.e. it is not formed directly on the panel intended to support articles and is also not shaped on the shelf but is assembled with the panel to form the shelf after have been trained separately.
- a shelf of this type provides greater flexibility of development and implementation as a one-piece structure such as a shelf where the support is made by direct molding on the panel (encapsulation).
- An advantage of the shelf according to the invention can also be that it can be made directly from the support and from a bare panel, said panel not requiring additional cover of its edges. As a rule, the support is applied below the panel or the panel is placed on the support, the fixing of the panel to the support can be carried out from different manners.
- the association can be made by simple support, the panel simply resting on the support.
- This mode has the advantage of offering a very simple method for removing and replace the panel with any user when necessary necessary.
- the support has one or more edges or walls or raised parts with respect to the supporting surface, so that once the panel is placed on the load-bearing surface of the support, in the position of use, the raised part or parts are used to retain or wedge the panel.
- the raised part (s) may extend for example along at least part of the perimeter of the panel, and, possibly, may rise above the upper face of said sign.
- the sides of the support having no channels, if there in a have such walls raised.
- the outer lateral edge of the canals can also be raised at least in part, particularly in order to laterally retain objects intended to be placed on the shelf obtained from the media.
- the peripheral edges of the support are, at least for some of them (or at least for some sides of the support), at the same level as the upper surface of the panel and / or, at least for some of them (or at least for some sides of the support), extend in height above the surface top of the panel.
- the support comprises one or more elements or means to position but also to positively retain the panel on the support.
- the connection between the panel and the support can be made by gluing (or by an adhesive tape serving as a retaining element), the adhesive being for example placed on the support surface of the support. It is not glue need not be on all sides of the panel face in contact with the support, the adhesive may not be applied for example only on 3 sides or only on several points spaced on the load-bearing surface.
- the surface of the panel in contact with the support can at least be partially treated, for example grooved or sanded, to improve its grip by gluing to the support.
- connection between the panel and the support can be done by creating a vacuum between the support and the panel, the support having for example a valve for evacuating.
- connection can be obtained by one or more mechanical or physical means (acting as as retaining element (s)) as nesting means, clamps (clips ...); the connection can be obtained for example by pressing simply perpendicular to the panel placed on the support, protrusions or blocking means which can, for example, lock the panel in place when applied to the substrate, or panel can, for example, be forced into the support (cold or possibly after prior heating of the support, if appropriate, to a better fit after retraction) or embedded in it, the support possibly being provided with means of nesting or sealing means and / or the sides of the panel which may possibly be machined for a better connection. Connection can also be carried out by any other appropriate means.
- the panel which can be placed on the support and used to form the shelf can be of different types. It is generally made up of a transparent material, such as glass, tempered glass, polycarbonate, polymethyl methacrylate, but depending on desired use, can also be manufactured in one or more other suitable materials. It can be made in one piece (monolithic) or different pieces (for example, it can be a laminated structure comprising for example several glass sheets and / or plastic material). It is usually flat and full, but can also understand, if necessary, one or more protrusions and one or more recesses or recesses, or even slots or holes (for example example for air circulation).
- the panel can be decorated, for example it can have fabricated patterns for example from an enamel or an ink printed on one or many of its faces.
- the support can also be made from one or many different materials.
- it can be made in plastic and / or may include metal parts.
- plastic for example by molding
- reinforcement means and / or stiffening means to guarantee the solidity and / or the rigidity of said support.
- the shelf according to the invention is intended to be fixed in overhang on the rear wall of the refrigerator or another structure in which it must be mounted.
- the support for example, has, or is designed to cooperate with, anchoring and / or overhang (or overhang).
- the support has at least two protruding parts on its rear side, which serve as hooks or teeth to engage (and get stuck in) rungs or holes in rails fixed on the rear wall of the refrigerator so that the shelf is cantilevered forward on said wall when mounted.
- the parts engaging the rungs or the holes can also be parts added to the support, for example example consoles or wings or thin plates such as consoles or wings or thin metal plates which are by example at right angles to the plane in which the panel and which can be mechanically fixed to the support by nesting means such as recesses and / or protuberances, teeth, or possibly which can be included in the support during its manufacture ...
- Such consoles can not only secure the support to the wall, but can also help strengthen support.
- these parts or consoles can also be mounted or nested so detachable in the holder.
- the shelf can also be fixed by the support on the side walls of a container (such as a refrigerator or similar) or can also rest or slide on load-bearing surfaces or guide placed on the lateral sides of the container.
- the holder is usually detachably mounted on the minus a wall of the refrigerator or the like (through consoles, for example, as explained above, which fix the support so detachable).
- the support or the means cooperating (for example consoles) added to the support to mount it on at least one wall (usually the rear wall) inside the refrigerator may also have, or cooperate with, safety devices anti-shrinkage, intended to prevent the shelf from coming out for example from the rails associated on the wall of the refrigerator or the like.
- the support can serve as a means to provide a light source to the panel.
- a surface for example panel
- Support can have, or cooperate with, lighting means (preferably means low voltage lighting) such as the lighting means illuminating the shelf after activation.
- lighting means preferably means low voltage lighting
- a light can be located in a housing provided in the support and the support can also integrate means for providing light. Power supply to turn on the light can be associated with the opening of the container door in which is the shelf or can be associated with the operation of a special push button switch.
- the shelf and the support according to the invention have several advantages. In plus the advantages noted on reading the previous description, we will also note that in the solution according to the invention, the presence one or more channels to collect liquids can make superfluous or unnecessary the use of a liquid tight seal around the peripheral edge of the panel.
- the shelf for a refrigerator or other device is represented as a whole by the number 10.
- the shelf 10 comprises an essentially planar panel 11 made of a preferably transparent material, such as glass tempered, polycarbonate, polymethyl methacrylate or other material, which is placed on a plastic frame 12.
- the panel 11 can also to have been made of an opaque material.
- the perimeter of the panel 11 can be treated, for example grooved or sanded, to improve its grip on the frame 12.
- the panel 11 can simply rest on frame 12, be held there by fixings or protrusions on the frame 12, or adhere to the frame by simple collage.
- the frame 12 has a continuous flat surface which extends essentially over the entire length of the panel 11.
- the frame 12 has, in a position essentially central, a small valve 17 to expel the air so obtain a stable connection between the frame 12 and the panel by obtaining a vacuum.
- the frame 12 may consist of a "open" frame, with four sides under the periphery of the panel, said sides with horizontal sections of sufficient thickness to support the panel, and an open interior in the shape of a rectangle.
- Frame 12 has a peripheral border with a channel 13 essentially U-shaped that extends beyond the front edge and / or side edges and possibly also beyond the rear border of panel 11, as can be seen in the embodiment of FIG. 6.
- the channel 13 does not not cooperate with the rear edge of the panel 11 and the frame 12 ends with a raised retaining border 112.
- Said channel 13 which can have a desired depth, serves retainer for liquid accidentally spilled on the panel 11, for example following the overturning of a container, the rupture of a bag, overflow of a pot or other incident.
- the presence of said channel 13 prevents the liquid from dripping onto the surfaces in below and below the refrigerator or other appliance, preventing dirty the parts on which it would drip, and preventing the possible contamination of food or items usually present on the surfaces below.
- the channel 13 can be at the same level as the panel 11 (FIG. 9), or extend with a border 113 which is raised at least at the level of the side edges of panel 11, also used in this case to retain laterally the objects placed on the panel 11.
- the channel 13 has, at its base, a hole closed by a plug 14 which allows simple evacuation and rapid stale liquid inside said channel 13.
- the hole with its associated plug 14 is positioned laterally.
- the shelf 10 is supported inside the refrigerator or the like apparatus by wings or consoles or bands 15 comprising thin plates which are essentially at right angles to the panel 11 and are anchored to the rear wall of the refrigerator or the like apparatus.
- said wings 15 are positioned at proximity of the lateral edges of the shelf 10.
- the wings 15 are integrated into frame 12.
- anchoring teeth 18 which enter their associated holes 19 at various desired heights in two columns 16 located on the rear wall 28 of the refrigerator or other device.
- a mechanism bolt lock 20 which prevents the wings 15 from coming out accidentally columns 16 when inserted.
- Said mechanism 20 comprises a body 21 connected to the border rear 112 of the frame 12 by means of a spring 22.
- the body 21 has essentially a height equal to or slightly less than the height of hole 19 in the wall of the refrigerator.
- the teeth 18 are inserted into the holes 19.
- the holes 19 are essentially at the same height, or at a height slightly higher than the height of the teeth 18, and like the body 21 is attached to the wings 15 so as to assume a higher position by relative to the teeth 18, said insertion abuts the body 21 against the columns 16 due to the compression of the spring 22.
- This lowering allows the insertion of the body 21 into the associated hole 19, said insertion being caused by the relaxation of the spring 22.
- the body 21 moves horizontally in a guided manner relative to the wings 15 which are fixed by a pin 23 which enters a hole 24 made in the thickness of the wings 15.
- the body 21 is essentially the same height than hole 19, once it is inserted into said hole 19, the shelf can no longer be raised due to the abutment between the upper edge of the body 21 and the upper edge of the hole 19; thus, the tooth extraction procedure 18 cannot be performed and accidental extraction of the wings 15 is avoided.
- the body 21 In order to extract the wings 15, the body 21 must be pressed or compressed against the rear edge 112 of the frame 12, until it comes out of the holes 19 and comes into abutment against the columns 16; after that the wings 15 can be raised and teeth 18 can be removed from their holes 19.
- connection between the shelf 10 and the wings 15 is effected by the presence of two fins 25 which are integrated into the frame 12 and mounted on the associated wings 15.
- Said fins 25 have holes 26 longitudinally, two in number in this case particular, in which an associated elastic flap 27 located in an associated position on the wings 15 ( Figures 5 and 12).
- the shelf 10 incorporates a lamp 29, for example a neon lamp or the like, placed longitudinally in cooperation with the rear border of the frame 12.
- the lamp 29 is located between a pair divergent upper 30a and lower 30b screens, integrated into frame 12, which define a housing 31 protecting said lamp 29 from the risk of shock or damage.
- Said screens 30a and 30b which also have an effect preventing the light scattering, can be opaque, transparent or dimmed to generate the desired lighting effect.
- the lower surface of the transparent panel 11 is machined, for example grooved, sandblasted or provided with facets, so as to produce a refractive effect of the light beam.
- the frame 12 is also manufactured in transparent material to amplify the lighting effect.
- the lamp 29 receives a low voltage power supply at the by means of a pair of contacts 32 located on the wings 15, which connect to the ends of said lamp 29.
- the power supply for lighting the lamp 29 can be linked to opening door 33 of the refrigerator or other appliance, or you can provide a special on / off push button switch.
