Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a rotating bracket suitable for engagement with corresponding fixed parts of cabinets, in particular refrigerator cabinets, and with parts of a shelf, for ensuring locking in position of the latter.
  • refrigerator cabinets and freezer cabinets are equipped with different types of shelves such as: ordinary shelves, refrigeration evaporator shelves and trays on/inside which the products to be cooled are placed.
  • Said evaporator shelves are normally supported on the sides and on the rear side, opposite to the door of the cabinet, by means of intermittent or continuous brackets which are formed by means of moulding on the sides of the cabinet at the time when the cooling compartment is made.
  • brackets which are known in the art, are engaged, at their free ends, with removable, auxiliary, locking elements which are designed to keep said shelves in position and/or prevent the trays arranged underneath the said shelves from being extracted and falling when they are opened in order to take out the contents.
  • locking elements are, for example, known from EP 0,534,107 which describes a U-shaped element able to be inserted, by means of a rectilinear translatory movement, onto the correspondingly shaped free end of the said brackets which are integral with the wall of the refrigerator cabinet.
  • Said U-shaped element also has a pin extending towards the wall of the cooling compartment and able to be inserted into a corresponding hole when the element reaches the end of its travel path.
  • said locking elements which are known in the art, nevertheless have drawbacks arising from the fact that the sliding movement of the U-shaped element is controlled by incisions formed on the fixed guide of the cabinet wall, which makes manual assembly difficult, also because, before its insertion into the associated end-of-travel hole, the said pin is subject to a forcing action, when sliding along the wall, and this may cause scoring of the latter, resulting moreover in an inclined position of the U element with respect to the guide, thereby making the insertion operation difficult owing to the misalignment between the two parts during relative displacement.
  • the pin tends to come out from its seat owing to the deformation which may affect the surface when it is subject to the vertical load caused by the weight of the objects placed thereon.
  • the technical problem which is posed is therefore that of providing a supporting/locking element for shelves of cabinets and in particular evaporator elements of refrigerator cabinets, which solves the abovementioned problems of the known art.
  • a refrigerator apparatus 10 has, on its side walls 11, guides 12 which project towards the inside of the refrigerator compartment and which extend parallel to the wall 11 along predefined sections, so as to form surfaces for retaining and/or sliding of evaporator elements 20 provided with an associated stiffening cross-piece 21, and/or trays 30.
  • said guides 12 have at their free ends directed towards the door 10a of the cabinet (for the sake of convenience always called “front part” below) a longitudinal extension 13 formed at the time of moulding of the cooling compartment; said longitudinal extension 13 has a vertical dimension which is smaller than that of the longitudinal guide 12 (Fig. 7) and is suitable for engagement with a bracket 40, according to the present invention, described below.
  • the end of the guide 12 adjacent to the extension 13 also has safety elements respectively consisting of a shaped seat 12a extending in the longitudinal direction on the upper surface of the guide 12 and delimited towards the inside of the refrigerator by an inclined side 12b.
  • said safety elements are designed to interact with the bracket 40 so as to prevent the movement thereof in the various directions; in particular, the seat 12a is able to form an end-of-travel stop for rotation of the bracket in the direction of its locking into the working position; the side 12b is in turn designed to form a safety locking system in the transverse direction for preventing movement of the bracket away from the wall.
  • the bottom surface 13a of the extension 13 forms moreover an additional safety element able to prevent rotation of the bracket in the unlocking direction.
  • a seat 14 is also formed thereon, said seat being able to receive a corresponding pin 41 of the bracket 40 according to the present invention.
  • Said seat 14 is shaped so as to have at least two opposite sides 14a which are parallel and straight and at least two opposite sides 14b with a rounded concave shape.
  • Said bracket 40 is formed by a substantially parallelepiped body which is internally hollow and has:
  • an inclined surface 44 which forms the end-of-travel stop for the tray 30 situated underneath; it is also pointed out that, since said stop is positioned below the axis of rotation of the pin 41, it is able to act in the direction of screwing and therefore stable locking of the bracket 40, should the tray be forced in the extraction direction; likewise the evaporator element 20 or equivalent surface acts in the direction of tightening of the bracket when it is subject to a high axial load resulting from the weight of the objects positioned thereon.
  • the bracket according to the invention solves the problems of the known art, allowing easy manual assembly as a result of precision insertion of the pin in the associated seat and secure fastening of the bracket to the wall of the refrigerator which opposes the unlocking movements and slackening movements in a transverse direction away from the said wall owing to the various elements for relative fastening of the bracket, the wall guide and the end extension of the said guide.
  • the mating cam-like profile of the pin 41 and the associated seat may for example be formed with different profiles and relative orientations, provided that the two fundamental positions for insertion/extraction and locking/unlocking are maintained.
