Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a shelf for refrigerators or the like, comprising at least one opening for positioning a removable tray.
  • EP 0325217 discloses a sliding shelf for dividing the interior space of a cabinet and for supporting food products in which the opening may be associated with a rectangular tray with a cover, with an accessory for holding eggs or with a rectangular plug for closing the opening.
  • EP 580967 discloses a similar shelf having a removable front tray and cover which can be repositioned in a rear trough of the shelf to permit convenient storage of tall containers.
  • DE 10 2011 079 409 discloses a refrigerator, in particular a domestic refrigerator, having a storage chamber and a container for refrigerated products which is guided on mounts of the storage chamber such that it can be pulled out and which comprises a first and a second shell part.
  • the two shell parts each have a base plate, a circumferential flange and steep walls which connect the base plate to the flange, and the container for refrigerated products can be selectively placed in the storage chamber by way of the flange, which is supported on the mounts of the first shell part, or by way of the flange, which is supported on the mounts of the second shell part.
  • DE 20 2009 018 017 U1 discloses a cooling apparatus with a shelf for bottles and other cylindrical containers having at least two transversal supports and holding means for the cylindrical containers wherein the holding means and the transversal supports have holding structures for releasably fixing the holding means to the transversal supports in different positions.
  • the holding structures are provided with cogging at the transversal supports and the holding means engage the cogging at the transversal supports in a form-locking manner.
  • the existing solutions present the drawbacks of the need of a searching in a loaded fridge cavity for stored food and of transferring food from storage containers into containers that can be presented on the table.
  • One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a shelf which does not present the above drawbacks.
  • a shelf according to the present invention is defined in claim 1.
  • This invention offers solutions in comparison to the current situation. It offers an organized configuration of storage containers nested in a frame that can serve as a serving tray to the table. The invention offers also the possibility to place tall products on the shelf below that can stick through the surface.
  • the multifunctional character of the invention handles several functions at the same time like hosting containers while maintaining a flat surface to store further products and bottles that can be transported in its full assembly to the table and the tray covers or lids are at the same time cutting boards.
  • the storage trays or containers are air tight by a gasket preventing odors spreading in the fridge cavity.
  • a multifunctional shelf 10 is provided with a plurality of rectangular apertures 12 and 14.
  • a first aperture 12 presents an overall dimension bigger than the remaining three apertures 14.
  • Each shelf presents an upper surface 10a and a lower surface 10b, and two lateral sections 16 to be supported by bearing elements (not shown) of the refrigerator cavity.
  • Each aperture 12, 14 presents an annular step 18 having a depth corresponding to the thickness of a cover 20 and of the upper bent edge 22a of a transparent tray or container 22 ( figure 3 ). Therefore, thanks to the dimension of the step 18 on one side, and of the cover 20 and tray 22 on the other side, trays 22 can be supported in a traditional configuration as shown in figure 2 , with the cover 20 substantially flush with the remaining portion of the upper surface 10a of the shelf 10, or in an upside-down configuration as shown in figure 1 , in which there is no step between the upper surface 10a of the shelf and the tray 22. In such configuration the user can easily see the food products in the tray 22, supported on the covers 20, and he can transfer the whole shelf to the table while maintaining, for a reasonable period of time, the freshness of the food items contained therein and protecting such food from environment.
  • each cover 20 present at least one longitudinal slot 26 presenting a circular cross section and configured to maintain in a stable and safe position horizontal bottles B ( figures 3 and 5 ) placed on the shelf.
  • Such slots 26 are prolonged on the upper surface 10a of the shelf 10 by means of semicircular nail-shaped lower portions 28 of the shelf.
  • Such portions 28 are useful also when the covers are put upside down (i.e. with the slot 26 on the lower portion) on the corresponding openings 12, 14 (for instance as shown for the upside down trays 22 in figure 3 ) since they allow the user to easily grasp and remove the tray 22 and the cover 20 together from the shelf 10.
  • the user can remove all the covers 20 from the shelf so that the big opening 12 can be used for storing vertical bottles B supported on the shelf or on the liner below the shelf 10 and/or for storing horizontal bottles B in the openings 14.
  • the width W of openings 14 is such that it is lower than the average diameter of wine bottles, so that these latter can be kept safely on the shelf 10.
  • each cover 10 presents, on its annular edge, a step 30 having a dimension either corresponding to the mouth of the tray 22 or to the step 18 of the openings 12 and 14, so that it can be put upside down on the shelf 10 for closing the corresponding aperture while being flush with the upper surface 10a of the shelf 10.
  • each tray 22 positioned on the opening 12 can be removed, together with its cover 20, from the tray 10 and can be directly used as a service tray to be put on the table.
  • annular gasket (not shown).
  • the material of the shelf 10 is preferably wood (for instance plywood) or the like because it gives a good esthetical appearance of the whole shelf and does not have safety problem in contact with foods.
  • the material of trays 22 is preferably polystyrene or polycarbonate which both gives a high degree of transparency thereto.
