Definitions

  • the present invention relates to shelf systems that are especially suitable for use in white appliances such as refrigerators.
  • shelf systems are used in order to position an object at a desired area.
  • these shelf systems must be configured so as to satisfy the needs of the users optimally.
  • the shelves in the conventional shelf systems are integral and are positioned in the white appliances such that they are engaged to and disengage from the white appliances.
  • white appliances due to the fact a plurality of shelves provided in these shelf systems which are positioned one above another and/or one below another are integral, the user is prevented from using the inner volume of the white appliance in an effective manner.
  • the shelf systems are positioned at a certain distance one above another and between the shelves therein, the objects must be placed in the inner volume of the white appliance based on the distance between the two shelves of the shelf systems, and the user must create an alternative way in order to place an object having a height greater than the said distance.
  • the user for example changes the position of a shelf provided in one of the two shelf systems, for which he must remove all other objects located on the shelf that is to be moved.
  • Such alternatives created by the user cause a difficulty in use for the user and thus the needs of the user cannot be satisfied as necessary.
  • a shelf system designed to solve said problem is disclosed in US2465806A .
  • a shelf system with a multi-piece shelf in the form of a grate is disclosed, wherein a rear shelf section and a front shelf section are provided.
  • Under the rear shelf section there is a space in the form of a receptacle, in which the front shelf section is placed, when necessary.
  • the dependency of the height of the object to be placed by the user into the inner volume of the white appliance on the distance of the two shelves is eliminated, and it is attempted to utilize the inner volume in an effective manner.
  • said space since a space is required under the rear shelf section in order to insert the front shelf section, said space may prevent effective use of the inner volume of the white appliance.
  • a shelf portion of a refrigerator comprises at least one shelf bracket; at least one front rack; at least one rear rack; at least two support shafts; at least one inclined guide rim and at least one slanted guide rim.
  • the shelf portion provides two different positioning of the racks, one is folded position the other is flat position. In the flat position, the front rack and the rear rack are situated on the shelf bracket by means of support shafts side by side.
  • the front rack When the racks required to be in the folded position, the front rack is moved towards the rear rack via support shafts and the inclined guide rim of the front rack moves the rear rack upwardly. While the front rack continues the movement on the bracket, the shafts under the rear rack enables the movement of the front rack under the rear rack (shown in figure 1 ). However, in this embodiment, since a space is required back of the rear rack in order to ensure the upward movement of the rear rack via the front rack, said space can prevent effective use of the inner volume of the refrigerator.
  • the shelf system according to the present invention which is suitable to be positioned in the inner volume of a white appliance comprises the features of the independent claim.
  • the pieces are positioned one above another and the shelf is folded in a simple and practical manner, based on the needs of the user, and the inner volume of the white appliance is used effectively, so that the needs of the user can be satisfied optimally.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a shelf system with a multi-piece shelf suitable for use in white appliances and which enables effective use of the inner volume of the white appliance.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a shelf system which enables effective use of the inner volume of the white appliance by positioning one of its shelf sections under the other.
  • Still another object of the present invention is to provide a shelf system which is easy-to-use, practical, durable and reliable.
  • shelf systems which are able to be mounted to and removed from the inner volume of the white appliance, are mainly used.
  • the inner volume of the white appliances such as refrigerators should be suitable for effective use
  • said shelf systems may have various forms.
  • such structures may sometimes be insufficient in order to utilize the inner volume in an effective manner. Therefore, with the present invention, a shelf system is provided which is suitable for use in white appliances and which ensures effective use of the inner volume.
  • the shelf system (S) comprises at least one shelf (R) comprising at least one main shelf section (1) and at least one movable shelf section (2), and having at least one flat position ( figure 1 ) wherein the movable shelf section (2) is situated next to the main shelf section (1) such that at least an edge of the main shelf section (1) is adjacent to at least an edge of the movable shelf section (2), and at least one folded position ( figure 2 ) wherein the movable shelf section (2) is situated in a lower region of the main shelf section (1) (by slidably movement of the movable shelf section (2) so as to get close to the main shelf section (1) in the flat position of the shelf (R)), such that an upper surface of the movable shelf section (2) on which an object is placed is contacting a lower surface of the main shelf section (1).
