• Cooling device 2- Shelf 3- Rail group 4- Rail 5- Bottle carrier 6- Bottle holder 7- Slipway 8- Frame 9- Opening 10- Connector 11- Support unit
• a cooling device (1) comprises a body in which articles intended to be cooled are placed, a door that provides access to inside from outside, one or more shelves (2) that are placed inside at different heights, one or more rail group (3) which are fixed to the inner wall of the body or the shelf (2) on the horizontal or vertical axis and that are parallel to each other, one or more bottle carriers (5) that are placed on the rail group (3), and providing one bottle to be stored when moved over the rail group (3) provided that their horizontal or vertical axis intercept; and enabling storage of more bottles when they do not intercept; thus, prevents to occupying more space interior volume.
• Rail group (3) comprises at least one rail (4) located side by side. Rail group (3) can be attached or detached when desired.
• rail group (3) comprises one or more rail (4) located side by side.
• the rail group (3) is located opposite each other where at least one is fixed on the front edge, and at least one on the rear edge of the shelf (2). Moreover, these rail groups (3) can move parallel to each other.
• the bottle carrier (5) mentioned comprises a slipway (7) provide mounting on the rail group (3), an opening (9) as wide as it would allow a bottle to be smoothly stored horizontally or vertically and a frame (8) defining the boundaries of this opening (9) ( Figure 1).
• the slipway (7) has preferably a "T" profile shape and is passed through the rail group (3) that located on the shelf (2) or the inner wall of the body. By passing the slipway (7) through the rail group (3), moving one or more bottle carriers (5) is provided along the rail group (3).
• the frame (8) can be a sole part with the slipway (7) or can be separately attached to the slipway (7). In the preferred embodiment of the invention the frame (8) is formed by bending it curvilinear and fixing both open ends on top of the slipway (7).
• bottle carrier (5) comprises a single bottle holder (6) that is attached to at least one rail group (3) which placed on the shelf (2) or inner wall of the body.
• the bottle carrier (5) is comprising a single bottle holder (6) is passed through on one the rails (4) resting on a rail group (3) and the bottle is placed on a bottle carrier (5) such that it is on a hook inside the frame (8) and such that the centre of gravity of a bottle remains along the plane of the frame (8). Therefore, the bottle can be stored horizontally under the shelf (2) of the cooling device (1).
• the bottle carrier (5) that is attached to the rail group (3) moves along the rail group (3).
• more than one bottle carriers (5) that are attached on different rails (4) of a rail group system (3) are moved along rails (4) and aligned by coinciding their horizontal and vertical axis.
• a bottle carrier (5) is comprising only one bottle holder (6) is employed;
• a connector (10) which is preferably a construction made of wire, is fixed on the frame (8) of a bottle holder (6) that is attached on the rail (4) by means of a slipway (7), and on top of it there exists more than one support unit (11) that wraps fully or partially the projecting parts outside the frame (8), of a bottle that is passed through a frame (8) and that is hooked on this frame (8).
• the connector (10) is preferably fixed on the outer surface of the frame (8), and in order to bring more than one bottle carrier (5) aligned by coinciding their horizontal and vertical axis, each of the connectors (10) are fixed on different points along the frame (8) ( Figure 3).
• bottle carrier (5) comprises at least two bottle holders (6) that are attached oppositely on two rail group (3) that located opposite each other on the shelf (2) or on the inner walls of the body.
• bottle carrier (5) comprising two independent bottle holders (6) are placed oppositely on a rail group (3).
• both the front and back of the bottle placed in a bottle carrier (5) is supported by bottle holders (6) that are located both on the back and the front side.
• frames (8) of bottle holders (6) that are fixed oppositely to different rail systems (3) are connected to each other by a connector (10).
• the bottle holder (6) located to the front is moved, the bottle holder (6) that is located on the back also moves harmonically ( Figure 4).
• frames (8) of the above mentioned bottle holders (6) that are placed oppositely to each other on different rail groups (3) are connected to each other by means of a connector (10) where above them more than one support units (11) are located. Therefore, bottle is supported from more than one point and storing and placing this bottle to a bottle carrier (5) by not falling it, is provided (Figure 5).
• One or more bottle carriers (5) are attached to the rails (4) of a rail group (3) and when these bottle carriers (5) that are placed on different rails (4) of a rail group (3) are not utilized, they are aligned by coinciding their horizontal and vertical axis when they are moved along these rails (4) and occupation of too much space inside a cooling device (1) is prevented ( Figure 6, Figure 7, Figure 8a, Figure 8b and Figure 9).
• In order to prevent the interception of the horizontal axis of bottle carriers (5) is comprising connectors. (10), these connectors (10) are fixed on different parts of the frame (8). Therefore, bottle carriers (5) when aligned by coinciding their horizontal and vertical axis, connectors (10) do not intercept.
• two rail groups (3) are comprising three rails (4) located side by side, are placed parallel to each other to the front and back of the shelf (4).
• a bottle carrier (5) is comprising two bottle holders (6) that are connected to each other by means of connectors (10) which have support units (11) is attached.
• the connector (10) that is located on the bottle carrier (5) near the inner wall of the body is located to the side of (8) this bottle carrier's (5) frame (8) which is near the inner wall of the body.
• the connectors (10) that are attached to other bottle carriers (5) that would be aligned with this bottle carriers (5) are fixed to the side of the frame (8) of bottle carriers (5) that faces in sequence, the middle and the interior volume of a cooling device (1).
• support units (11) that are located on all connectors (10) are attached to separate points on the connector (10) in a way that they would not intercept with bottle carriers (5) when bottle carriers (5) are aligned. Therefore, connectors (10) and support units (11) would not intercept with each other when bottle carriers (5) are aligned ( Figure 6, Figure 7, Figure 8a and Figure 8b).
• bottle carriers (5) that are brought upon the same line can carry the bottles. Since again bottle containers (5) when they are brought upon the same line, occupy the same space as one container occupies, efficient utilization of the interior volume of a cooling device (1) is provided.
