Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a refrigerator.
  • a refrigerator normally comprises a refrigeration compartment enclosed by a main body and by a door hinged to the main body. That is, the compartment is defined by a bottom wall, a rear wall, two lateral walls, a top wall, and a front wall defined by the refrigerator door.
  • a refrigerator compartment is equipped with substantially two types of fixtures : shelves and containers, for supporting foodstuffs.
  • a shelf is normally defined by a sheet of glass or Plexiglas, and by a rim made of plastic material, surrounding all or part of the sheet, and molded about the sheet to form one piece with it. And the lateral walls of the refrigeration compartment have a number of grooves which cooperate with the rim to support the shelf.
  • a container is normally located along the inner face of the door wall, and is defined partly by the door wall itself, and partly by a half-shell made of plastic and which fits onto the door wall.
  • Both the above types of fixtures are unhygienic, by dirt collecting, in the case of the shelves, in the joins between the sheet and rim, and, in the case of the containers, in the joins between the door and the half-shell.
  • a refrigerator comprising a refrigeration compartment defined by a number of walls; and a supporting member for supporting foodstuffs and food containers, and selectively insertable inside the refrigeration compartment; the refrigerator being characterized by comprising a structure fixable to at least one of said walls and having a seat for housing said supporting member; the structure and the supporting member being connectable to each other to define a definite position of said supporting member inside said structure inside the refrigeration compartment.
  • the function of connecting the supporting member to one of the walls of the refrigeration compartment is performed by the structure, so that the supporting member can be so formed as to avoid hard-to-clean areas, and to be easily removable from the structure.
  • Number 1 in Figure 1 indicates as a whole a refrigerator comprising a main body 2 and a door 3, which define a refrigeration compartment 4.
  • a freezer compartment 5 is located beneath compartment 4, and is defined by main body 2 and by a further door 6.
  • Refrigerator 1 is of the type in which the door is hinged about a vertical axis not shown. More specifically, compartment 4 is defined by a bottom wall 7, a rear wall 8, a top wall 9, two lateral walls 10, and a wall 11 defined by door 3.
  • Compartment 4 houses a drawer 12 resting on bottom wall 6; four shelves 13 hooked onto rear wall 8; and four containers 14 hanging on wall 11, i.e. door 3.
  • Rear wall 8 has two parallel sets of openings 15 engaged by shelves 13.
  • each shelf 13 comprises a supporting member, defined by a flat sheet 16, for supporting foodstuffs and/or food containers; and a structure 17 having a seat 18 for housing sheet 16.
  • Sheet 16 is rectangular with rounded edges, and structure 17 comprises two connecting brackets 19 and two bent bars 20 and 21.
  • Each bracket 19 is substantially C-shaped, and comprises a first free end having a stop member 22, and a second free end located over the first free end and having a hook 23. Stop members 22 and hooks 23 engage respective openings 15 to fix shelves 13 to wall 8.
  • Each bracket 19 also comprises a slot 19a for the purpose explained later on.
  • Bar 20 is fixed at the ends to the top portions of brackets 19, and is bent to comprise two opposite facing lateral portions 24, and a rear portion 25 connecting portions 24.
  • Each lateral portion 24 is defined by portions 20a and 20b of bar 20 bent one on top of the other.
  • Bar 21 is fixed at the ends to the bottom portions of brackets 19, and comprises two lateral portions 26 extending from brackets 19 towards the free ends of portions 24 and joined by a front portion 27.
  • Each portion 24 comprises a rear end 28a, a front end 28b, and a central portion 28c recessed with respect to ends 28a and 28b and forming a respective seat 18.
  • portions 20a and 20b of bar 20 are spaced apart to house one end of sheet 16, and, at end 28a, portions 20a and 20b are spaced apart by a gap smaller than the thickness of sheet 16.
  • ends 28a provide for guiding sheet 16 and defining a definite position of sheet 16 inside structure 17 in a direction D1
  • central portion 28c defines a definite position of sheet 16 in a vertical direction D2 perpendicular to direction D1.
  • Portion 25 has bends 29 for arresting sheet 16 in a given position in a direction D3.
  • sheet 16 can be withdrawn freely from the structure in direction D3, in the opposite sense to the arrow in Figure 2.
  • each container 14 comprises a tub 30; and a basket-like structure 31 which is fixed to door 3 by means of a bracket 32.
  • Structure 31 comprises a bar 33 looped into a rectangle; and two U-shaped bars 34 connected to the underside of bar 33.
  • Tub 30 comprises a bottom wall 35, two parallel facing lateral walls 36, and two parallel facing lateral walls 37; and each lateral wall 36, 37 has a top edge 38 bent to cover bar 33.
  • structure 31 defines a seat 39 for housing tub 30, and edges 38 in turn define a seat 40 for housing bar 33.
  • Bars 33 and 34 are sized to be adjacent to each lateral wall 36, 37, and so define a definite position of tub 30 inside structure 31.
  • Bottle rack 41 is hooked onto structure 17, directly beneath sheet 16.
  • Bottle rack 41 has a reticular structure, and comprises four hooks 42 and 43 by which to hook bottle rack 41 selectively onto any one of shelves 13.
  • Bottle rack 41 is made of bent wire, and comprises two L-shaped lateral members 44, each having a hook 42 at one end; three undulated members 45 defining bottle seats; and a member 46 having a hook 43 at each end.
  • bottle rack 41 can be selectively inserted inside refrigeration compartment 4 and hooked onto any one of shelves 13 by inserting member 46 on top of portions 26 and beneath portions 24 of structure 17, pushing member 46 inside slots 19a, lifting the front of bottle rack 41 so that hooks 42 contact the underside of sheet 16, and resting hooks 42 on top of front portion 27.
  • member 46 is withdrawn from slots 19a, and hooks 43 rest on portions 26.
