Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a shelf suitable for using on the cooling device door.
  • shelves whereon foodstuffs and containers are placed are situated on the inner surface of the door.
  • door shelves the supporting surface of which is produced from glass or similar materials, are used for reasons of cleanliness and to improve the esthetic appearance.
  • barriers are disposed at the front side of the glass plate for securing the glass plate, preventing the objects thereon from falling and to improve the appearance by hiding the cross section of the glass plate.
  • These barriers are preferably of plastic material, generally produced together with the side walls and this results in the increase of molding and labor costs. Problems of durability arise in shelves wherein the barriers are mounted after placing the glass plate.
  • a door shelf that comprises a glass plate is described.
  • the glass plate is prevented from dislodging from the front side by means of two support pieces that extend towards each other from the side walls of the shelf such that front side of the glass plate is partially covered.
  • the glass plate is mounted to the cooling device door after being grouped to the shelf body.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a shelf suitable for utilization in the cooling device door and for which ease of assembly is provided.
  • the shelf realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention, explicated in the first claim and the respective claims thereof, comprises a body having two opposite side walls and a plate produced from glass or similar material, disposed in the body so as to entirely cover the gap between the side walls.
  • the shelf furthermore comprises a support member that is mounted on the body so that the front side of the plate is covered.
  • the support member that extends along the length of the plate is attached to the inner surfaces of the side walls from two sides.
  • the plate is prevented from dislodging from the front side of the shelf.
  • the cross-section of the plate is hidden and the esthetic appearance is improved.
  • the support member after being seated on the side walls, is secured to the body by being rotated around an axis that extends almost parallel to the front side of the plate. Accordingly, dislodging of the support member from the body by pulling is prevented and a more durable connection is maintained.
  • the support member While the support member is mounted to the body, at least some portion thereof exerts pressure on the plate and prevents the plate from moving in the vertical direction.
  • the problems like the plate getting loose, shaking, swaying are prevented during the use of the shelf and/or opening/closing of the cooling device door.
  • the support member is easily mounted to the body by means of the pins and the detent means disposed oppositely on the inner surfaces of the side walls and by means of the channels, openings and protrusions situated at both ends of the support member. Furthermore, the support member prevents dislodging of the plate from the body by both covering the front side of the plate and exerting pressure from above by means of the protrusion.
  • a ramp-shaped detent means is used.
  • the detent means rises from the front side of the body towards the rear side and after a peak point comes back instantly to the elevation of the point wherefrom it started.
  • the protrusion moves easily to the peak point of the detent means due to this inclined structure and after passing over the peak point, rests on the surface of the detent means, the width of which preferably is wider than itself, that is almost vertical to the side wall.
  • the protrusion is prevented from being freed from the detent means.
  • resting surfaces are located on the inner surfaces of the opposite side walls.
  • the plate is placed on the resting surfaces at equal elevations from each side.
  • the plate is provided to be mounted to the body without using any connection member.
  • the body comprises a rear wall and a guide is disposed on the surface of this rear wall facing the side walls, which extends almost all along the rear wall.
  • the guide is at a higher position than the resting surfaces. The plate is first placed between the guide and the resting surfaces and afterwards is released to be seated on the resting surfaces.
  • the support member has the same cross-section all along its length.
  • the production of the support member is made easier and the material cost decreases.
  • the opening extends all along the support member, the flexibility of the support member increases and it is mounted to the body in an easier manner.
  • the shelf comprises at least one barrier that is mounted to the upper surfaces of the side walls from each end.
  • the preferably wire-shaped barrier By means of the preferably wire-shaped barrier, the objects on the plate are prevented from falling down.
  • the shelf suitable for use in cooling device doors gains a modular structure and mounting thereof to the cooling device door becomes easier. Furthermore, by means of the support member structure, pressure is exerted on the plate from two directions and the durability is increased.
  • Figure 1 – is the perspective view of the shelf of the present invention.
  • Figure 2 – is the partial view of the shelf before the support member is mounted to the body.
  • Figure 3 — is the sideways schematic view of the shelf while the support member is being mounted to the body.
  • Figure 4 – is the sideways schematic view of the shelf when the support member is mounted to the body.
  • Figure 5 — is the perspective view of the shelf while the plate is being placed to the body.
  • Figure 6 — is the sideways schematic view of the shelf while the plate is being placed to the body.
  • Figure 7 — is the exploded view of the shelf.
  • the shelf (1) suitable for use in the cooling device door comprises a body (2) having two side walls (3) and a plate (4) disposed between the side walls (3), whereon objects are placed.
  • the shelf (1) of the present invention furthermore comprises a support member (5) that provides the plate (4) to be secured to the body (2) by being mounted to the inner surfaces of the side walls (3) from two sides thereof such that the front side of the plate (4) is almost entirely covered.
  • the support member (5) not only improves the esthetic appearance by hindering cross-section of the plate (4) to be viewed the by the user but also prevents the plate (4) to be dislodged from the body (2) ( Figure 1).
  • the support member (5) is mounted on the side walls (3) by being rotated such that the line connecting the points wherefrom it is mounted to the side walls (3) is the rotational axis.
  • a durable connection is maintained and the support member (5) is made difficult to be dislodged from the body (2).
  • support member (5) prevents the plate (4) from moving in the vertical direction by at least some portion thereof exerting pressure on the plate (4) from above when mounted to the side walls (3).
  • the shelf (1) comprises pins (6) oppositely disposed on each of the side walls (3) and detent means (7) oppositely disposed on the each of the side walls (3), above each pin (6) and that prevent the support member (5) from falling.
  • the shelf (1) comprises a channel (8) wherein the pin (6) is seated, enabling to rotate around the pin (6) while being mounted to the body (2), an opening (9) allowing the pin (6) to be fitted into the channel (8) and a protrusion (10) that provides the support member (5) to be secured by bearing to the detent means (7) after being mounted to the body (2).
  • the support member (5) is aligned such that the pins (6) on the side walls (9) pass through the openings (9) at each end.
  • the support member (5) is pushed slightly towards the plate (4) and the pins (6), due to their flexible structure, are seated in the channel (8) by passing through the opening (9).
  • the support member (5) is rotated around the pin (6) until the protrusion (10) bears against the detent means (7).
  • the protrusion (10) bears against the detent means (7), the support member (5) is prevented from being dislodged and the assembly process is completed.
  • the shelf (1) can be mounted modularly and sequentially to the door of the cooling device where it will be used and ease of assembly is provided.
  • the protrusion (10) increases the durability of the plate (4) by exerting pressure thereon ( Figure 2, Figure 3, Figure 4).
  • the detent means (7) is ramp-shaped.
  • the protrusion (10) moves more easily on the detent means (7) and provides the support member (5) to be mounted to the body (2) in a durable manner by being positioned behind the detent means (7) at the end of the movement ( Figure 5).
  • the shelf (1) comprises resting surfaces (11) extending inwards from each of the side walls (3).
  • the plate (4) is placed on the resting surfaces (11).
  • the body (2) comprises a rear wall (12).
  • the shelf (1) comprises a guide (13) disposed on the rear wall (12) which provides the plate (4) to be aligned while being mounted to the body (2).
  • the guide (13) is at a higher position than the elevation of the resting surfaces (11) at least by as much as the thickness of the plate (4).
  • the support member (5) has the same cross-section all along its length.
  • the production of the support member (5) becomes easy.
  • the material cost also decreases since the opening (9) extends along the support member (5).
  • the assembly process becomes easier since the flexibility of the support member (5) is increased.
  • the shelf (1) comprises at least one barrier (14) that is mounted on the upper surfaces of the opposite side walls (3) from each end and which prevents the objects on the plate (4) from falling.
  • the objects on the plate (4) are prevented from falling down after overturning and hence safety of the user and the objects stored on the shelf (1) is increased ( Figure 1, Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 7).
