Abstract

This invention relates to a refrigerator (1) comprising a carrier (30) which enables the inner space of the body (2) and surface of the shelves (4) to be used effectively.

Description

Fridge.

The present invention relates to a refrigerator that allows efficient use of spaces not used of difficult access of the body and the trays of this one.

Refrigeration appliances, as per For example, refrigerators include several trays, drawers, compartments, etc., where they are easily stacked and placed materials. The trays are placed, for example, some underneath of the others, parallel to each other, and in these the objects to be refrigerated. It is difficult to use so efficient the space between the trays since the objects that must be refrigerated can have different sizes and, in particular, different heights. For example, if in the same tray are placed at the same time a tall jug and containers small to preserve food, the space left over Conservation containers cannot be used. In consecuense, Due to this type of space loss, the user cannot Efficiently use an important part of the refrigerator.

Documents JP-A-2000 009381, USA-2889054 and DE-C-929795 unveil refrigerators according to the preamble of claim 1 provided with a device that allows space to be used efficiently inside the refrigerator cabinet.

In the state of the art, US Patent No. 2,889,054, a given tray space can be used as a double level thanks to an additional piece that is placed in the tray. Thus, while part of the tray is placed tall objects, you can place two low objects, like two dishes one above the other, in the part where the additional piece even without occupying the space occupied by a single plate. In this embodiment, if it is necessary to place objects high in the entire tray, the additional piece must be removed from the Fridge. The fact of having to remove the additional piece of This mode is inconvenient for the user.

In the state of the art, US Patent No. 2,668,423, a certain tray space can be used as a double level thanks to an additional piece fixed between two trays on the side wall. Thus, the upper surface of the additional piece could be used as cargo space and Low objects could be placed in the tray below the additional piece In this embodiment, it cannot be used entire tray to stack tall objects.

In the state of the art, German patent no. DE929795, a specific tray space can be used as a double level thanks to an additional piece fixed between the two trays on the side wall, which can be folded when not use. Thus, when the entire tray is used for stacking tall objects, the additional piece folds against the side wall so that the use of the entire space is guaranteed. In this embodiment, the size of the additional piece is already limited which is foldable

The objective of the invention is to perform a refrigerator that allows efficient use of spaces not used with difficult access to the body and trays.

The refrigerator (1), object of the invention, it comprises a body (2), a door (3) that allows access to the inside the body (2), one or more trays (4) placed in the body (2) in which various objects are placed, such as food storage containers, a support (30) in which place some plates (20), some saucepans (21) and so on and a recess (8) on which the support (30) that is located in the tray (4) or body (2).

Regardless of the different structures of the edges, wide objects can be placed in the support (30) and low rise, such as plates (20) and saucepans (21). The plate (20) or The saucepan (21) comprises a base (22) and an edge (23).

The body (2) comprises one or more walls lateral (5), a rear wall (6) and one or more supports for tray (7) that hold the trays (4) placed on them and which are placed on the side walls (5) or the wall posterior (6).

The support (30) comprises an extension (31) that it allows the attachment in the body (2) or in the tray (4) to fit in the recess (8), more than one fastener (33) in which place a plate (20) or a saucepan (21), a hanger (32) in which attach the fasteners (33), a lower support surface (34) which is located in the fastener (33) and in which the base (22) of a plate (20) or a saucepan (21) in such a way that the center of gravity is outside and an upper support surface (35) that is located under the fastener (33) on which the edges (23) of the plate (20) or saucepan (21) which avoids the moment of the formed rotation by the weight of the plate (20) and the saucepan (21) since the center of gravity of the plate (20) and the saucepan (21) is outside the lower support surface (34), which ensures that the plate (20) or the saucepan (21) hang in the air imprisoned between the two fasteners (33) by the edges (23).

The support (30) is fixed by placing an extension (31) in the recess (8) that is located in the body (2) and in the walls (5 or 6) or in trays (4). When the support (30) is fixed on the recess (8), the hanger (32) extends, preferably down, between the two trays (4). When he user wants to use the stand (30) place the plate (20) or the dipper (21) between the fasteners (33). When the dish (20) or the saucepan (21) are placed between the fasteners (33), their edges (23) are Tilt down slightly and insert between the two fasteners (33), a small part of the plate (20) or saucepan (21) is placed on the lower support surface (34) of the clamp (33) which is located below, so that the center of gravity it is outside, and its edge (23) rests on the support surface upper (35) of the fastener (33) that is located above. When the user releases the plate (20) or the saucepan (21) after placing them between the fasteners (33), the plate (20) or the saucepan (21) hang on the air trapped between the fasteners (33) by its edges due to the upper support surface (35) that prevents the moment of rotation formed by the weight of the plate (20) or the saucepan (21) although only a small part of the base of the plate (20) or the saucepan (21) rests on the resting surface (22) in such a way that the center Gravity is out. Likewise, when the dish (20) or the saucepan (21) are removed from the fasteners (33), their edges (23) are separated of the upper support surface (35) of the upper support (33) and release from the fasteners (33) by lifting them slightly up the base (22).

For example, when two plates are placed (20) between the fasteners (33) of the support (30) comprising three fasteners (33), the edge (23) of the upper plate (20) is supported by the upper support surface (35) of the upper support (33). The upper support (33) supports only the upper plate (20). On the lower support surface (34) of the lower support (33) rest the base (22) of the lower plate (20). Restraint bottom (33) supports only the plate (20) of the bottom. On the lower support surface (34) of the central support (33) rest the base (22) of the top plate (20) and the edge of the plate Lower (20) rests on the lower support surface (34). The central support (33) supports the upper plate (20) and supports the bottom plate (20).

In another embodiment of the invention, the support (30) comprises a stop (36) located on the surface of upper support (35) that limits the movement of the plate (20) or the dipper (21) on the horizontal axis.

In another embodiment of the invention, the support (30) comprises a groove (37) located on the surface bottom of the lower support (33) that allows easy positioning objects in the lower tray (4).

In another embodiment of the invention, the space between the fasteners (33) is regulated according to the height of the plates (20) or saucepans (21) to be held, sliding the fasteners (33) up or down by the hanger (32) The mechanisms located in the hanger (32) and in the fasteners (33), such as compression mechanisms or structures threaded, ensure the arrest of fasteners (33) in the desired point.

The support (30), if desired, can be removed from the refrigerator (1) and can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher.

The support (30) takes up little space or can withdraw from the refrigerator (1) when not in use because fastener surfaces (33) are small compared to the areas of the base (22) of the plates (20) or the saucepans (21) that it supports, and when used it allows it to take advantage of so efficient unused space over wide containers like the plates (20) or the saucepans (21) placed in the trays (4).
