[027] The components in the figures have each been numbered corresponding the following: 1. Refrigerator 2. Separator 3. Shelf 4. Groove 5. Separator holder 6. Canal 7. Canal wall 8. Orifice
[028] Cooling appliances (1), preferably refrigerators, comprise one or more shelves (3) which divide the inner parts, for instance the freezer compartments, of the refrigerators into sections in order to make use of the spaces in a best possible way, on which food and beverages are placed for cooling, one or more separators (2), which are used to provide convenience for the user by forming little compartments between the shelves (3) or between the shelf (3) and the body, one or more separator holders (5), which are placed on or below shelves (3), which enables the materials to be loaded and removed in an orderly and effective manner by attaching the separators (2) at a desired position preferably in a way that they face each other and which enables the separator (2) to also functions as a drawer by being attached, preferably in such a way that they are side by side and facing each other, above or below the shelf (3).
[029] The separator holder (5) comprises one or more canals (6), which have the same shape as the separator (2), and which provides to attach and/or hide the separator, and canal walls (7), which form the canals (6) with each other and/or with the place they are attached on such as the shelf.
[030] The separator (2) comprises one or more orifices (8) which are placed at positions and with sizes determined by the manufacturer in order to provide the required air flow in the body of the refrigerator (1) even if they are obstructed by the goods placed in front of them and which enable the goods to be visible.
[031] The separator holder (5) can be attached on a surface in the refrigerator (1) such as the sidewall, the upper wall or the shelf (3) like an additional part and can also be manufactured by being integrated to the said surface or as a single piece part by being integrated to the separator (2) dependent from the said surfaces.
[032] In the embodiment where the separator holder (5) is manufactured by being integrated with a surface in the refrigerator such as the side wall, the upper wall or the shelf, the surface on which it is attached, for example the shelf (3) or the separator holder (5) can be manufactured as a single piece part. In this embodiment, the separator (2) is attached by being pushed into the canal (6) and it can be removed in the same manner (Figure 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).
[033] In the embodiment where the separator holder (5) is manufactured as a single piece part by being integrated to the separator (2), when the separator holder (5) is attached on the shelf (3) from its front section, the separator (2) will also be attached on the shelf (3) (Figure 7).
[034] In the embodiment of the invention where the separator holder (5) is manufactured as a single piece part, the separator holder (5) is attached on the surface, which is to be used such as the sidewall, the upper wall or the shelf (3). In this embodiment, the lower canal walls (7) of the separator holder (5) have a structure which encircles the shelf (3) and which fits in the shelf (3) easily. The separator holder (5) is attached preferably on the shelf (3), which is taken out of the refrigerator (1) by preferably sliding from its side. The separator holder (5) is placed on a desired position after the shelf (3) has been inserted to its place. After the separator holder (5) has been placed in the desired position, the separator (2) is shifted into the canal (6) from the front to the rear body and by being attached to its place the desired sections are formed. If more than one, for example two separators (2) are required to be used, the shelf (3) is taken out and two separator holders (5) are attached on the shelf (3) from their sides and when they are brought to the desired position on the shelf (3) the separators (3) are attached on the canals (6). When one of the separators (2) is required to be taken out, the distance between the separator holders (5) is expanded to a width equal to that of the separator (2) and the separator (2) which is not used is inserted into the canal (6), which is composed of the canal walls (7) of the separator holders (5) that are side by side and the upper surface of the shelf (3), by being shifted from the front to the back of the refrigerator (1). Consequently, the separator (2) does not have to be taken out and it can be kept inside the refrigerator as it occupies a small amount of space. When the separator (2) is required to be used again, it is pulled out and it is attached on the canal (6), which is preferably vertical to the shelf (3). The separator (2) in this embodiment also functions as a drawer.
[035] In the embodiment of the invention where the separator holder (5) is manufactured as a single piece part, the separator (2) which divides the space by being placed in the canal (6), when it isn't used, is shifted to the side edges of the space in which it is present together with the separator holder (5) without being taken out of the canal (6). Thus, the separator (2) does not have to be taken out and it can be kept inside the refrigerator (1) as it occupies a small amount of space (Figure 12, 13, 16, 17).
[036] In these embodiments where the separator holder (5) is attached as a separate part, a separator (2) is attached on both to the lower and upper surface of the shelf (3) by choosing a desired canal (6) which could be above or below according to the surface on which the separator holder (5) is used. The canals (6), particularly the ones placed beneath the surface on which they are used, enable the separator (2) to be attached more firmly and/or be kept under the said surface (Figure 15, 16, 17).
[037] In these embodiments where the separator holder (5) is attached as a single piece part, the separator (2) is kept between the canals (6) which are on and below the shelf (3) and which are positioned face to face and/or side by side to each other. So if the separator (2) is required to be taken out, it is pulled to the direction that is required.
[038] In another embodiment where the separator holder (5) is manufactured as a single piece part, the shelf (3) comprises a groove (4) wherein a separator holder (5) is attached and wherein it moves. The canal walls (7), which are harmonious to the structure and to the position of the groove (4), enable the separator holder (5) to be placed and move inside the groove (4) and prevent it to come off from the separator (2) exit direction.
[039] In another embodiment of the invention, the separator (2) is made of transparent, preferably of plastic, material. Consequently, the goods that remain behind the separator (2) can easily be visible without the need to take out the goods that are placed in the front section.
[040] With the embodiment, which is the subject of the invention, the separator (2) is used at a desired place and position and when it is not used it enables the areas of use in the refrigerators (1) to be utilized optimally by occupying a small amount of space in the refrigerator (1). In this way, the goods in the refrigerators (1) can be loaded and removed in an orderly and effective manner.
[041] With the embodiment, which is the subject of the invention, the spaces in the refrigerator (1), for example the spaces above the shelves, can be completely or partially utilized. Particularly in the embodiment wherein transparent material is used, all the frozen goods, which are kept inside for a long period of time can easily be visible. By means of the orifices (8) which are placed on the separator (2) at positions and with sizes determined by the manufacturer, the cooling air is circulated throughout the body and all the goods which are placed on the shelves (3) and/or between the separators (2) can benefit from the circulated air. As the number of orifices (8) is more than one, continuation of airflow is provided even if one or more orifices (8) are blocked by goods, which are placed in front of them.
