Definitions
- This invention relates to a cooling device incorporating shelves whereby efficient use of the internal volume is achieved.
- one or more of the shelves are detached from their places or their positions are changed.
- foldable or telescopic shelf systems are utilized in order to form a flexible usage volume enabling containers with various dimensions to be preserved. That type of shelf systems should be in a form in harmony with the appearance, functional and safe at the same time.
- the shelves used in the refrigerator comprise an extensible shelf support that rests on the subjacent shelf by means of a leg structure in order to create an additional space inside the refrigerator in vertical direction and for the purpose of flexible usage.
- a shelf construction utilized in a refrigerator comprising a main shelf supported by the walls, an additional shelf attached to the main shelf by means of a hinge structure, a second additional shelf connected to the said additional shelf and supporting elements where additional shelves rest on when they are folded upwards or downwards.
- the aim of the present invention is the realization of a cooling device comprising shelves that can fold easily and safely, ensuring that the internal volume is utilized effectively.
- Fig.1 - is a perspective view of a cooling device.
- Fig.2 - is a front schematic view of a cooling device.
- Fig.3 - is a top view of a foldable shelf.
- Fig.4 - is a schematic view of the stationary and foldable portions of a shelf, wherein they are not mounted.
- Fig.5 - is a schematic view of a shelf, unfolded.
- Fig.6 - is a schematic view of a shelf, folded.
- Fig.7 - is a schematic view of a folded shelf and hinges.
- Fig.8 - is a schematic view of hinges and a shelf the foldable portion of which is detached.
- the cooling device (1) comprises one or more than one foldable shelf (2) wherein several items are placed on and one or more than one shelf groove (3) where the shelves (2) can move inside, carrying the mentioned shelves (2) and holding them at a desired level.
- the shelf (2) comprises a main shelf (4) forming the stationary portion, a movable shelf (5) forming the foldable portion, attached to one side of the main shelf (4) and which can move downwards about the rotation axis constituted by its side attached to the main shelf (4) and, one or more than one hinge (6) whereby the movable shelf (5) folds and is attached to and detached from the main shelf (4).
- the main shelf (4) comprises an extension (7) along the side of which the movable shelf (5) is attached to, whereby it is achieved to obtain a continuous coplanar surface on the shelf (2) in unfolded position and to hide the hinges (6) in both folded and unfolded position and, a rest surface (8) wherein the movable shelf (5) stands vertical by resting on it, in folded position.
- the movable shelf (5) comprises an extension housing (9) along its side attached to the main shelf (4), whereby it is achieved that the extension (7) fits in when the movable shelf (5) and the main shelf (4) are brought to the same plane, and that the shelf (2) stays in a straight position and is prevented from folding upwards by supporting it at the area of folding and, a handle (10) whereby the said movable shelf (5) is folded easily, brought to a straight position or, if desired, taken out of the cooling device (1) by being detached from its position.
- the hinge (6) comprises a pin (11) functioning as a rotation axis where the movable shelf (5) can move about, a support (12) placed on the main shelf (4) or the movable shelf (5), where the pin (11) is fixed to, a pin housing (13) with a size allowing the pin (11) to rotate, which is positioned on the main shelf (4) or the movable shelf (5) and where the pin (11) fits into, and an assembly gap (14) the length of which is larger than the length of the pin (11), whereby pins (11) and pin housings (13) are aligned as the movable shelf (5) is attached to or detached from the main shelf (4).
- the movable shelf (5) can be taken out of the cooling device (1) by being detached easily from the main shelf (4) by the user, in folded or unfolded position, and can be attached to the main shelf (4) again in the desired position.
- pins (11) and supports (12) where the said pins (11) are connected to are positioned on the main shelf (4) whereas pin housings (13) are positioned on the movable shelf (5).
- the cooling device (1) which is the object of the present invention, comprises one or more than one main shelf support (15) positioned on the rear wall of the cooling device (1) and/or on the main shelf (4), whereby the main shelf (4) stands in balance when the shelf (2) is folded and, one or more than one movable shelf support (16) positioned on the rear wall of the cooling device (1) and/or on the bottom surface where the movable shelf (5) rests on, which facilitates, in folded position, the movable shelf (5) to stand vertical and to support the main shelf (4).
- the form of the side of the shelf (2) ensures that the movable shelf (5) can easily detach from the shelf grooves (3) inside the cooling device (1) where it is attached to, if it is to be folded and, that the movable shelf (5) rests on the bottom surface after it is folded.
- Taller food and beverage containers may be placed to the space (A) which is formed near the shelf (2) as the movable shelf (5) is folded and furthermore, a compartment (B) with a closed side is formed under the main shelf (4).
