- The present invention relates to a shelf assembly for a refrigerating apparatus adapted to support foodstuff or bottles stored in a refrigerating compartment.
- Refrigerating apparatuses known in the state of the art, in particular domestic or professional refrigerators, are provided with a refrigerating compartment for the storage of foodstuff, food containers and beverages which is fitted with a plurality of removable shelves; these are generally formed by tops capable of supporting both loose foodstuff, such as vegetables, cheese, or the like, and food containers, such as cans, pots, pans, glasses. Another kind of shelves is formed by box-like elements, either opened or capable of being closed by a swinging cover, which are suitable to contain foodstuff of small size, such as eggs, butter, small cans or glasses; the open box-like elements can also contain objects extending vertically, such as bottles. Generally the box-like elements are arranged on the inner side of the door of the refrigerating apparatus.
- Further, in the lower region of the refrigerating compartment may be arranged drawers, mainly for the storage of vegetables.
- A disadvantage with the known solutions mentioned above is that the visibility and the accessibility to the foodstuff supported or contained by the shelves, in particular by the tops inside the refrigerating compartment, is not easy for the user, who has to look through the goods stored and sometimes move them in order to reach the desired good.
- Another drawback of these known solutions resides in the fact that, in most cases, it is not made maximum use of the storage space available in the refrigerating compartment, since between two contiguous shelves supporting goods of small or medium size there could be a lot of storage space unused.
- Accordingly, the aim of the present invention is to provide a shelf assembly having an improved capacity of rendering easily visible and accessible to the user the foodstuff stored therein.
- Within the aim cited above, an object of the present invention is to provide a shelf assembly which does not require the removal of one or more goods stored therein to allow the user seeing and/or reaching the desired goods.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a shelf assembly which is able to make use in an optimized and effective manner of the available storage space within the refrigerating compartment.
- A further object of the present invention is to provide a shelf assembly which can be easily fitted with one or more additional components, either at the manufacturing stage or in use, so as to quickly adapt the assembly to any specific request or need.
- A further and not less important object of the present invention is to provide a shelf assembly capable of being manufactured at competitive costs using generally known and readily available tools, machinery and equipments.
- These aims and objects are achieved by a shelf assembly for a refrigerating apparatus having the features as claimed in
claim 1. - Further characteristics and advantages of a refrigerating apparatus according to the present invention will be readily understood from the following detailed description of a preferred, although not sole, embodiment illustrated by way of a non-limiting example in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
- Figure 1 is a prospective view of a first element of a shelf assembly according to the present invention in a first condition of use;
- Figure 2 is a prospective view of the element of Figure 1 in a second condition of use;
- Figure 3 is a prospective view of a refrigerating compartment provided with a shelf assembly comprising the element of Figure 1 fitted with a second additional element in a first condition of use;
- Figure 4 shows the shelf assembly of Figure 3 in a second condition of use;
- Figure 5 shows the shelf assembly of Figure 3 in a third condition of use;
- Figure 6 is a prospective view of the shelf assembly shown in Figure 3 fitted with third additional elements in a condition of use;
- Figure 7 shows the shelf assembly of Figure 6 in another condition of use.
- With reference to Figures 1 and 2, the shelf assembly for a refrigerating apparatus according to the present invention is globally indicated by the
reference numeral 1; it includes at least a first element, adapted to support foodstuff in a refrigerating compartment, comprising a top 2 to which atray 3 is slidably mounted by slidable coupling means, such as guide means, to be able to move in respect to the top 2. As shown in the embodiment of Figures 1 and 2, the top 2 is provided with raisedside plates plate corresponding grooves 7 obtained on opposite sides of thetray 3. - The top 2 can be removably supported inside the refrigerating compartment (not shown) by well-known support means provided on the sides of the compartment, as will be explained more in detail below.
- Figure 1 shows the top 2 with the
tray 3 in the retracted, or rest, condition, while Figure 2 illustrates thetray 3 in the extracted condition, as it would be when moved out of the refrigerating compartment to allow the user an easy visibility and access to the goods supported by thetray 3 itself. - Preferably the
tray 3 is mounted at a central portion of the top 2 such that, when the top 2 provided with thetray 3 is arranged inside the refrigerating compartment, thetray 3 can slide forward in respect to the top 2 to be moved out of the compartment even when the closing door of the said compartment is not completely open. - Advantageously the front end of the
tray 3 can be provided with grip means 8 to facilitate the grip by the user for extracting thetray 3 itself; further, the rear end of thetray 3, and preferably also of theside plates raising walls tray 3 is moved out. - The supporting surface both of the
tray 3 and of the top 2 or only theside plates tray 3. - Figures 3, 4 and 5 show a
shelf assembly 1 according to the present invention wherein the top 2 with theslidable tray 3 described above is fitted with a second additional element, such as a containingmeans 12 for foodstuff constituted, for instance, by adrawer 13 slidably supported bylateral shoulders - The
shelf assembly 1 is supported inside the refrigerating compartment in a generally known manner, e.g. by a pair of longitudinally extendingprotrusions 16 arranged on opposite inner sides of the compartment itself and provided with stop means, such as abutments (not shown), to prevent that thewhole shelf assembly 1 goes out of the refrigerating compartment when either thetray 3 or thedrawer 13, or any other additional element, is operated. - The
drawer 13, which is particularly adapted for containing foodstuff like vegetables or the like, can be advantageously provided with ahandle 17 which facilitates its extraction from the top 2. - The
shelf assembly 1 can be arranged such that thetray 3 and thedrawer 13 can be moved independently from each other: starting from the retracted, or rest, condition shown in Figure 3, the user can extract either thedrawer 13, as shown in Figure 4, or thetray 3 or, as shown in Figure 5, he can move both thetray 3 and thedrawer 13 independently. - Figures 6 and 7 show the
shelf assembly 1 as previously described wherein thedrawer 13 is fitted with third additional elements, such as supportingmeans 18 for bottles or for small cans or boxes of foodstuff; the supportingmeans 18 is constituted, for instance, by at least onefoldable side wing 19 pivotally connected to ashoulder 15 of thedrawer 13 by apivot pin 20. Preferably aside wing 19 is provided on each side of thedrawer 13 by pivotal connection withpivot pins 20 torespective shoulders - As shown in Figure 6, a
foldable side wing 19 can be positioned in a closed condition, when not in use, or in an open condition such that a bottle or the like can be supported, as shown in Figure 7 where bothside wings 19 are opened to support a bottle. - Advantageously the
