Definitions
- the present invention relates to a refrigerator shelf, and to a refrigerator equipped with such a shelf.
- the present invention relates to a refrigerator shelf designed to receive upright bottles, to which application the following description refers purely by way of example.
- the distance between the shelves in a home refrigerator is normally less than the height of a litre bottle, so that a litre bottle cannot be stood on any of the shelves in a perfectly upright position, as required in the case of an open or poorly sealed bottle.
- British Patent GB-773215 describes and illustrates a shelf defined by a rigid, rectangular grill, which has a through opening sized to receive the neck of at least one large upright bottle resting on the shelf underneath.
- Japanese Patent Application JP-2002/228352 describes and illustrates a shelf comprising a rigid, rectangular, flat sheet with a through opening sized to receive the neck of a large upright bottle resting on the shelf underneath; and a booklike foldable shutter fitted to the flat sheet, at the through opening in the sheet, to move between a flat configuration completely covering the opening, and a folded configuration uncovering the opening to permit insertion of the neck of the bottle inside the opening.
- a refrigerator shelf as claimed in Claim 1 and preferably, though not necessarily, in any one of the Claims depending directly or indirectly on Claim 1.
- number 1 indicates as a whole a shelf, which may be used to particular advantage in a home refrigerator 2 to divide the storage compartment of the refrigerator, either singly or in combination with other conventional shelves.
- Refrigerator 2 comprises a preferably, though not necessarily, parallelepiped-shaped outer casing 3 with at least one hermetically sealed, thermally insulated, inner storage compartment or chamber 4; and a number of shelves fixed one over the other inside storage compartment 4 to divide storage compartment 4 vertically into a number of compartments.
- refrigerator 2 substantially comprises a parallelepiped-shaped box body 5 having one thermally insulated storage compartment 4 and with the access opening to storage compartment 4 formed in one of the four vertical lateral walls of box body 5; a door 6 hinged to box body 5 to rotate, about a substantially vertical hinge axis V, to and from a closed position resting against the vertical lateral wall of box body 5 to seal the access opening to storage compartment 4 off from the outside environment; and a refrigeration circuit (not shown) designed, on command, to cool and maintain the contents of storage compartment 4 stably at a predetermined reference temperature of preferably, though not necessarily, less than 8°C.
- shelf 1 substantially comprises a flat, preferably, though not necessarily, rectangular supporting body 7, which is sized to fit horizontally inside storage compartment 4, with one or more lateral edges resting on the inner surfaces of outer casing 3 defining storage compartment 4, and which has a through opening 7a sized to permit passage of the neck or main body of a bottle 8 positioned perpendicularly to the plane of flat supporting body 7 and resting on the shelf underneath shelf 1; and an annular rim or collar 9 fitted firmly inside through opening 7a in flat supporting body 7, and having a number of flexible projecting tabs or fins 10 projecting from annular collar 9 towards the centre of through opening 7a in a direction which is locally substantially perpendicular to the lateral edge of through opening 7a.
- projecting tabs or fins 10 are preferably, though not necessarily, flat, and project from annular collar 9 while remaining locally substantially coplanar with or at any rate parallel to the plane of flat supporting body 7.
- flat supporting body 7 comprises a rectangular, suitably thick sheet of glass, Plexiglas or other plastic material, and through opening 7a is in the form of two circular through holes of equal diameter, joined to and partly intersecting each other.
- flat supporting body 7 may comprise a rigid rectangular flat grill.
- annular collar 9 is made of rubber, silicone or other flexible plastic material, is substantially in the form of a figure eight, and has a set of eight substantially triangular projecting tabs or fins 10 formed preferably, though not necessarily, in one piece with annular collar 9 and appropriately distributed inside the two circular through holes defining through opening 7a.
- Shelf 1 has numerous obvious advantages : while comprising a system of closing through opening 7a for receiving large bottles, shelf 1 has no moving parts and is therefore intrinsically more reliable that known shelves.
- Shelf 1 is also much cheaper to produce than the shelf described in Japanese Patent Application JP-2002/228352 , with all the advantages this entails.
