Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cooling appliance having a bottle support.
  • the present invention relates to a refrigerator or wine cellar, preferably for domestic use, having a storage compartment including a bottle support to support one or more bottles in a stable horizontal position.
  • Refrigerators are normally fitted with bottle racks comprising a shelf; and a contoured member located on the shelf, normally connected removably to the shelf, and defining a number of side by side seats, each for housing a bottle in a horizontal position.
  • This type of rack has the drawback of being relatively bulky, especially in view of the fact that, even when, as is normally the case, not all the seats on the rack are occupied, the part of the shelf occupied by the empty part of the rack can rarely be used to store other than bottles.
  • CA-1167510 relates to a collapsible bottle rack suitable for use in a domestic refrigerator.
  • the collapsible rack is configured so that it may be readily stored within a compartment of the refrigerator when not in use.
  • the rack is moveable between a substantially horizontal support position for supporting the article and a collapsed position for locating the rack adjacent to an inner wall of the compartment.
  • the rack is mounted on the inner wall of the compartment by means of anchoring means and comprises a pair of spaced apart pivot posts pivotally supported by said anchoring means.
  • Each of the aforementioned pivot posts further includes at least one rack portion which can pivot between a supporting position and a collapsed position and is horizontally aligned with one rack portion of the other pivot post so as to support a bottle when disposed in the supporting position.
  • US-2768048 Another example of collapsible bottle support is disclosed in US-2768048 , which relates to a bottle rack suitable to be mounted on the walls or the door of a household refrigerator and capable of being folded out of the way when not in use.
  • the rack comprises a plurality of individual bottle holders, each of which comprises a base member attached to a wall and a U-shaped frame pivotally mounted on the base member for rigidly pivoting between an horizontal supporting position and a vertical collapsed position.
  • bottle supports of the collapsible type are disclosed in CN-2869718 and CN-2869718 both relating to suspension bottle holders suitable for use in a domestic refrigerator.
  • Each of the aforementioned bottle holders has a wire frame and is collapsible so that it may be readily disposed adjacent an interior wall of the refrigerator when not in use.
  • the bottle holder includes a plurality of bottle seats which are rigidly connected to one another (so that each holder is not individually collapsible).
  • EP-0929247 discloses a holder for bottles suitable to be mounted in a refrigerator.
  • This holder comprises a fixed section arranged in a stationary position in the storage space of the refrigerator and a pivotable section, which is hinged to the fixed section, comprises a holding element designed to accommodate a plurality of bottles and is movable between a horizontal supporting position, in which the holding element rests on a shelf of the refrigerator, and a vertical collapsed position.
  • the pivotable section is formed by two parts consisting of two support arms hinged to the fixed section and a support part, which is designed to accommodate a plurality of bottles and is mounted for being displaced along the support arms.
  • a cooling appliance having a bottle support a bottle support as claimed in Claim 1 and, preferably, in any one of the Claims depending directly or indirectly on Claim 1.
  • reference A indicates a cooling appliance, in particular a refrigerator, comprising a cabinet B having an inner space C bounded at the front by a door D, at the back by a rear vertical wall E, and laterally by vertical lateral walls, and internally divided into a number of storing compartments F by a number of horizontal supporting shelves G.
  • numeral 1 indicates as a whole a support (also called bottle holder) arranged on a supporting shelf G for supporting a bottle 2.
  • support 1 comprises two portions 3 and 4.
  • Portion 3 is U-shaped, and comprises two parallel rods 5, which extend from a straight crosspiece 6 having an axis 7, and have, on their free ends, respective end portions 8 bent 45° with respect to a plane defined by rods 5.
  • portion 4 is U-shaped, and comprises two parallel rods 9, which extend from a crosspiece 10, and have, on their free ends, respective end portions 11 bent 45° with respect to a plane defined by rods 9.
  • crosspiece 10 is in the form of a roughly 90° arc, curves on the same side as free-end portions 11 with respect to the plane defined by rods 9, and lies in a plane perpendicular to the plane defined by rods 9.
  • Rods 5 and 9 are preferably made of metal.
  • each end portion 8 is connected to the free end of a respective end portion 11 by a hinge 12, by which relative rod 9 rotates with respect to relative rod 5 about an axis 13 parallel to axis 7 and coaxial with axis 13 of the other hinge 12.
  • Each hinge 12 is defined by two sleeves 14, which are normally made of plastic, are fitted respectively to relative end portion 8 and relative end portion 11, and are fitted with respective half-hinges 15 connected by a pin (not shown) coaxial with relative hinge 13 and normally integral with one of half-hinges 15.
  • Each half-hinge 15 projects axially from relative sleeve 14, and defines, on the free end of sleeve 14, a flat stop 16, which cooperates with the other sleeve 14 to limit rotation of rod 9 with respect to rod 5, and therefore rotation of portion 4 with respect to portion 3, to an angle of roughly 180° between an extended position shown in Figures 2 to 4 , and a fold-up position shown in Figure 5 .
  • rods 5 and 9 and crosspiece 6 are coplanar and define a common plane, from which end portions 8 and 11 and crosspiece 10 project on the same side. More specifically, in the extended position, each end portion 8 and relative end portion 11 form a V with its vertex at respective axis 13.
  • portions 3 and 4 are positioned scissor-fashion, with each rod 9 parallel to and facing relative rod 5, and with crosspiece 10 substantially facing crosspiece 6.
  • crosspiece 6 which is normally made of plastic, comprises, on the opposite side to that from which rods 5 extend, a groove 17 coaxial with axis 7, and which clicks removably onto a fixed bar 18 to form a hinge 19 by which support 1 rotates about the axis of bar 18, which, when the support is clicked on, coincides with axis 7.
  • bar 18 is normally horizontal, and extends over a horizontal supporting surface 20 of a respective shelf G and at a given distance from a vertical surface 21 of rear vertical wall E. More specifically, the clearance between bar 18 and supporting surface 20 is such that, when support 1 is extended with crosspiece 10 resting on supporting surface 20, with the interposition of a sleeve 22 of flexible material fitted to crosspiece 10, the plane defined by rods 5 and 9 is substantially horizontal, and support 1 defines a horizontal seat 1a for receiving a bottle 2 and supporting it ( Figure 6 ) in a stable horizontal position over supporting surface 20.
  • support 1 is rotated upwards about axis 7 from the extended position into the fold-up position, rods 5 and 9 are positioned upright alongside vertical surface 21 to clear supporting surface 20 for other use.
  • Figure 6 shows a preferred application of support 1.
  • bar 18 is integral with a respective shelf G, extends parallel to vertical surface 21 across substantially the whole width of shelf G, and is fitted with a number of supports 1 arranged side by side to define, with shelf G, a rack 23, in which only the supports 1 supporting respective bottles 2 are extended, while the unused supports 1 are folded scissor-fashion into an upright position to clear supporting surface 20.
  • shelf G normally already has a bar 18 to keep foodstuffs a given distance from vertical surface 21 and prevent ice forming on the rear wall of refrigerator A.
  • any unused supports 1 may even be removed easily.
  • rack 23 enables better use of internal compartments F of refrigerator A according to user requirements.
  • crosspiece 6 is a straight piece, which comprises a straight bar 24, which is tubular at least at its opposite ends, and each rod 5 is bent, at its end connected to crosspiece 6, in the shape of a 90° arc, a free-end portion of which is fitted in the respective tubular end of bar 24.
  • the bar 24 can be tubular for its entire length, and the two rods 5 can be part of a single-piece rod, suitably bent, passing through bar 24.
  • crosspiece 6 On the side of bar 24 facing away from rods 5, crosspiece 6 comprises a grooved straight body 25 which is provided with groove 17 and which clicks removably onto fixed bar 18 to form hinge 19 by which support 1 rotates about the axis of bar 18, which, when the support 1 is clicked on, coincides with axis 7.
  • rack 23 may comprise supports 1 of different widths and lengths to accommodate bottles 2 of different sizes.
  • the bar 18 can be fixed to the rear vertical surface 21, or to the lateral vertical surfaces bounding the storage compartment 24.
  • each rod 5 is hinged, preferably clicked on, directly to a respective fastening bar or bracket fixed to supporting surface 20, or to vertical surface 21 or to lateral surfaces bounding the storage compartment 24.
