Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a refrigerator, in particular a domestic refrigerator, having an internal compartment with side walls, each side wall being provided with molded parts for supporting at least one glass shelf.
  • a refrigerator of the above kind is disclosed by EP 2606295 where the molded parts are grooves of the inner liner adapted to cooperate with support rails on which the shelf can slide.
  • Object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerator in which the user can easily pass from a cavity with shelves only to a cavity with shelves and drawers.
  • the present invention avoids the lateral wobbling of the drawer and its vertical movement. In this way, during the use of the drawer, the customers feel a precise extraction of the drawer, similar to the use of metal telescopic rails.
  • the basic concept of the present invention consists of two plastic elements inserted at the glass shelf sides.
  • lateral parts of the plastic elements allow keeping the glass shelf in the center of the compartment or cell.
  • two elastic ribs with pins block the glass shelf on the cell, avoiding its movement during food items handling or during pull out of the drawer. In addition, they compensate the unavoidable deformation of the cabinet.
  • Plastic elements are made of Polyoxymethylene (POM) to allow a better sliding of the drawer.
  • plastic elements may be made of cheaper plastic material (for instance I Polypropylene (PP)) with co-molded shaped protrusion of Polyoxymethylene (POM) on which the drawer can slide.
  • PP Polypropylene
  • a refrigerator R comprises an inner cavity C where a plurality of glass shelves G is mounted.
  • Each shelf G is provided, on parallel sides, with plastic elements 10 having a C-shaped cross section mounted on edge 12 of the shelf G.
  • Each plastic element 10 may have a continuous C-shaped portion 11a (as shown in figure 7 ) or it can have a C-shaped slotted portion 11b (as shown in figure 6 ), both C-shaped portions 11a, 11b (continuous or slotted) having the same purpose for mounting the plastic element 10 on the shelf.
  • the inner walls W of the compartment C present two molded parts 14 and 17 which may be obtained by thermoforming the plastic inner liner, or by using components obtained by injection molding and inserted in aperture of the liner in a foam tightly manner.
  • molded parts we mean the above solutions, and any alternative solution as well.
  • the front molded part 14 comprises a blind hole 14a for receiving a pin 16a of an elastic portion 16 of the plastic element 10 which protrudes laterally and in the front portion thereof.
  • the detail of the mounted configuration is shown in figures 2 and 3 , where the pin 16a is elastically inserted in the blind hole 14a.
  • the front portion of the plastic element 10 present a cross part 10a which avoids any sliding of the glass shelf G toward the outside, while any backward movement of the shelf G is prevented by a similar cross part 10b present in the rear portion of the plastic element 10 ( figure 5 ) or by the rear wall of the compartment.
  • each plastic element 10 On the upper side of each plastic element 10, with reference to the installed configuration of the element, there are two series of protrusion 18 and 20.
  • the first series of protrusions are simple linear protrusions on which a bottom wall of a plastic drawer 22 can slide.
  • the protrusions of the second series are hook-shaped and are configured to cooperate with side rails 24 of the bottom of the drawer 22 for avoiding any tilting movement thereof.
  • each plastic element 10 is provided with a protrusion 26 on the front part of the element which is shaped so as to guide the drawer 22 and its side rails 24 in the initial mounting sliding movement of the drawer itself.
  • Each plastic element 10 is also provided with a side elastic tongue 28 which keeps the glass shelf G in the center of the compartment.
  • the drawer 22 presents lateral protrusion 30 configured to cooperate with corresponding protrusion (not shown) of the inner liner.
  • the series of protrusion 18 and 20, where the drawer 22 slides on may be of a plastic co-molded material different from the material of the plastic element and having a lower friction coefficient; this may reduce the overall cost of the plastic elements 10.
