Description

FRIDGE DOOR OF REFRIGERATOR AND / OR FREEZER WITH MEANS

  GUIDE FOR OPTIONAL DIFFERENTIATED POSITIONING OF

BALCONIES.

  The invention relates to a refrigerator door

and / or freezer.

  According to a known technique, the inner doors of refrigeration-

  tor and / or freezer use bins intended to contain eggs, butter, bottles and other products, placed in pre-established positions or unable to

  adjust only in a vertical direction.

  A drawback of this technique is not only that it does not make it possible to vary the position of the door shelves, but also that it uses lateral shoulders, provided with supports for door shelves, which require the use of door shelves extending always full span in a storm door, unless additional shoulders are provided, and the thickness of the shoulders reduces

  overall extension of the shelves.

  The subject of the present invention is a conforming door

  mé so as to allow to place the shelves, or other accessories, in very different positions as needed. - 2 - Another object of the invention is a storm door which

  supports shelves of different lengths

  your and even a length that may interest the width

total of said door.

  The storm door according to the present invention is essential.

  ment characterized in that it comprises a plurality of parallel horizontal guide means, each of which is capable of receiving and supporting a cantilever, or other accessory, which can be positioned in various ways on said guide means or along

of these.

  According to a particular embodiment, each means of

  guide includes an upper groove and a lower groove

  lower, these grooves being arranged to engage teeth on said shelves, each interesting guide means

  the entire width of said door.

  The invention will be better understood using the description

  below. In the accompanying drawing: FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a portion of the counter door of a refrigerator and / or freezer; Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view, on a larger scale, of the door of Figure 1; and Figure 3 is a front view of a door whose door shelves are placed in one of

  many other possible positions.

  Referring to the drawing, we see a plastic door 1, mounted on the internal face of a door 2

  a fridge and / or freezer.

  According to the invention, the door 1 is provided with a plurality of parallel horizontal guide means 3

  covering the entire width of the said door, available

  sés cantilevered and made by a molding process or equivalent. As shown in particular in Figure 2, each means

  guide 3 defines an upper groove 4 and a groove

  re lower 5, these grooves being capable of engaging

  an upper tooth 6 and a lower tooth 7 respectively-

  ment, that includes a shelf 8, or other accessory, itself

  even of plastics or the like.

  To position a shelf 8, the tooth 6 is engaged in the groove 4, then the tooth 7 is engaged in the groove 5. This last operation is carried out by snap-fastening thanks to the elastic nature of the material of which

tooth 7 is made.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the bin 8 has a length equal to half the total range of the guide means 3. A similar bin 8 is shown in FIG. 3, but in a different position. If desired, the shelf can have a length equal to the entire span of the guide means 3, and shelves of such

  length are designated by the reference 8 'in Figure 3.

  Bins or accessories can also have any length up to a maximum value

  equal to the width of an affected door.

  From the above, it is obvious that the solution proposed by the invention makes it possible to use shelves 8, 8 ′, or other accessories, as required, and to store these in any desired position. The elimination of the traditional support shoulders allows, in addition, the use of door shelves having a length, individual or combined, equal to the total width of the storm door,

  or a shorter length if desired.
