Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a refrigerator comprising a separator that is used on the door shelf.
  • Refrigerators comprise shelves attached to the door or the body, whereon food and beverage containers are placed.
  • tall containers onto the shelf one or more than one shelf above the said shelf is required to be removed or displaced.
  • short containers onto the shelf a dead volume is created between the said shelf and the shelf thereabove.
  • foldable or telescopic shelf systems are used in order to create flexible usage volumes that enable the containers with various sizes to be stored.
  • the foodstuffs, beverages or items with various forms and sizes that are placed onto the shelf may tumble or fall off the shelf while being placed or when the door is being opened or closed after being placed.
  • separators are disposed into the door shelf in order to prevent the items that are placed onto the shelf from tumbling or rolling over. When the size of the door shelf is required to be changed, the use of separators gives rise to problems.
  • WO 2016/023091 A1 discloses a fixture in the form of a shelf for mounting to inner surface of a refrigerator door.
  • the shelf has a telescopic structure comprising a base and a platform.
  • the platform can slide with respect to the base, in a direction parallel to the door, enabling an increase or reduction in shelf space.
  • US 2015/198365 A1 discloses a refrigerator appliance having a door module assembly comprising a door tray movable relative a mounting bracket thereof.
  • the door tray is movable in a horizontal direction between a retracted position and an extended position.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a refrigerator comprising separators suitable for use in door shelves with adjustable article storage capacities.
  • the door shelf used in the refrigerator of the present invention is composed of two sections, comprising a fixed section adjacent to the inner lining of the door and a movable section that is telescopically attached to the fixed section and that is moved on the fixed section by the user or by means of an adjustment mechanism in a horizontal direction perpendicular or parallel to the inner lining of the door such that the width or the length thereof can be changed.
  • a separator is disposed, that divides into two partitions the inner volume thereof wherein the items are loaded.
  • the separator is composed of a rear part with one end being attached to the fixed section of the door shelf and a front part that can be slidably moved on the rear part. When the width or the length of the door shelf is changed, the front part is moved back and forth on the rear part. Thus, the length of the separator is increased/decreased so as to match the dimensions of the shelf.
  • the refrigerator comprises a body, at least one door (1) that allows access into the body and a door shelf (2) that is disposed on the inner lining of the door (1).
  • the door shelf (2) comprises a fixed section (3) adjacent to the inner lining of the door (1) and a movable section (4) that is telescopically attached to the fixed section (3) and that by is moved on the fixed section (3) by the user or by means of an adjustment mechanism (11) in a horizontal direction that is perpendicular or parallel to the inner lining of the door (1) such that the width (W) or the length (L) of the door shelf (2) can be changed.
  • the refrigerator of the present invention comprises a separator (7) that divides the inner volume of the door shelf (2) wherein the items are loaded into two partitions (B1, B2), that can be extended/retracted according to the changed width (W) or length (L) of the door shelf (2), and that has a rear part (5) with one end attached to the fixed section (3) and a front part (6) that is attached to the rear part (5) so as to slidably move thereon and that is moved on the rear part (5) back and forth so as to contact the movable section (4) of the door shelf (2) when the position of the movable section (4) is changed ( Figure 1 , Figure 2 ).
  • the door shelf (2) is composed of two sections, namely the fixed section (3) adjacent to the inner lining of the door (1) and the movable section (4) that can be moved on the fixed section (3) forwards in a direction perpendicular to the inner lining of the door (1) or laterally in a direction parallel to the inner lining of the door (1) and that enables the width (W) or the length (L) of the door shelf (2), thus, the size of the volume inside the door shelf (2) wherein the items are placed to be changed.
  • the separator (7) is disposed into the door shelf (2) and divides the inner volume wherein the items to be cooled/frozen are placed into two partitions (B1, B2).
  • the separator (7) is composed of two parts, namely the rear part (5) attached to the fixed section (3) of the door shelf (2) and the front part (6) that is moved by the user so as to contact the inner surface of the movable section (4) of the door shelf (2).
  • the separator (7) can be extended or shortened according to the changed width (W) or length (L) of the door shelf (2).
  • the separator (7) divides the loading volume in the door shelf (2) into two partitions (B1, B2) on the right and on the left in a direction parallel to the inner lining of the door (1).
  • the separator (7) comprises the rear part (5) attached to the rear wall of the fixed section (3) of the door shelf (2) and the front part (6) that can be moved on the right or the left surface of the rear part (5) facing the inner volume of the door shelf (2) ( Figure 1 ).
  • the separator (7) comprises two guides (8) that are fixed to the upper and lower edges of the rear part (5) and that enable the front part (6) to be borne so as to slidably move on the rear part (5).
  • the lengths of the guides (8) are more than the lateral length of the rear part (5) so as to bear the front part (6) pulled forwards away from the rear part (5).
  • the door shelf (2) comprises two channels (9) that extend along the horizontal upper edge and lower edge of the rear wall of the fixed section (3) and that provides that the separator (7) slides inside the door shelf (2) and that the volumes of the right and left (or front and rear) partitions (B1, B2) are changed according to user preference.
  • the separator (7) comprises two extensions (10) that extend upwards and downwards from the rear part (5) and that move laterally in the channels (9) ( Figure 9 ).
  • the separator (7) when not in use, can be rotated around the vertical axis formed by the extensions (10) inside the channels (9) so as to bear against the rear wall of the door shelf (2) and to be shifted to the storage position.
  • the separator (7) can be rotated inside the door shelf (2) and shifted to the storage position and does not occupy space in the door shelf (2) ( Figure 7 ).
  • the rear part (5) is in the form of a trapezoid getting narrower towards the front inside the door shelf (2) and is placed without being fitted into the channels (9) when the separator (7) is rotated towards the rear wall of the door shelf (2) and brought to the storage position ( Figure 8 ).
  • the separator (7) divides the loading volume in the door shelf (2) into two partitions (B1, B2) in the front and in the back in a direction perpendicular to the inner lining of the door (1) ( Figure 2 ).
  • the separator (7) is telescopic and comprises the rear part (5) and the front part (6) that can slide one within the other.
  • the front part (6) is moved by being slid into the rear part (5) and the length of the separator (7) in the horizontal direction is increased or decreased.
  • the separator (7) further comprises holes that provide air circulation between the partitions (B1, B2) that are formed by the separator (7) inside the door shelf (2).
  • the width (W) or the length (L) of the door shelf (2) can be changed according to user preference.
  • the separator (7) dividing the inner volume of the door shelf (2) into partitions (B1, B2) is extended or retracted to fit the changed dimensions of the door shelf (2), thus providing flexible use.
