FR2677441A1 - TABLET INTENDED FOR INSTALLATION IN THE INTERIOR AREA OF A REFRIGERATOR. - Google Patents

Abstract

It is provided with a turntable (3). This turntable (3) is rotatably held in a smooth ring (14). The circularly shaped cut in the support plate (9) extends at a center angle of about 220 degrees, so that the turntable (3) can not be pulled forward. The smooth ring (14) engages both with the edge of the turntable (3) and with the edge of the cut in the support plate (9), so that said turntable (3) does not draw switch.

Description

The invention relates to a tablet intended for installation in

  the interior space of a refrigerator.

  The object of the invention is to enable improved accessibility to

  a refrigerated commodity placed on a shelf.

  This problem is solved by a shelf provided with a circular turntable which is rotatably guided in a smooth ring within a circular recess of a support plate, said recess extending more than 180 and the smooth crown having a fastening means preventing tilting of the turntable and coming

  engaged from above with the edge of said turntable.

  Thanks to the turntable, the space available on a tablet can be better used By manually turning the turntable,

  In particular, it is possible to improve the accessibility of

  managed if the internal space of the refrigerator is relatively deep.

  The accompanying drawing, given by way of example, will provide a better understanding of the invention, the characteristics it has and the advantages it is likely to provide:

  smooth; Fig 6 shows a cross section of the smooth crown in the direction of the arrow A-A of Fig 3; Fig 7 is a side view similar to that of Fig 4 of another embodiment; Fig 8 is a cross section of the smooth ring of the embodiment shown in Fig 7; Fig 9 is a side view of a clip for fixing a tablet provided with a lateral reinforcement; Fig 10 is a view of the clip shown in Fig 9 in the direction of arrow B; Fig 11 is a view of the clip in the direction of arrow C of Fig 10; Fig 12 is a perspective view of the clip for connecting the tablet to a side reinforcement; Fig 13 is a partial top view of the connection of a smooth crown. In a household refrigerator 1 are mounted several horizontal shelves at least one of which is provided with a turntable 3 These shelves are hung in a known manner in perforated rails and can therefore be removably fixed in the interior space 5 of the The shelf 2 comprises a central support plate 9 made of glass followed by two lateral metal reinforcements 10 which are provided at the rear with hooks 11 for attachment in a perforated rail 4 or on the rear wall of the refrigerator. The support plate 9 is supported at the rear by a profiled rod 7 which is mounted on a cross member at the front end of the support plate 9 is, respectively on both sides, a clip 25 which provides a

  connection between the support plate 9 and the lateral reinforcements 10.

  One embodiment of the invention lies in the fact that the shelves 2 are surrounded laterally by a profiled rail and that they

  inserted between horizontal grooves in the internal space

  Inside the refrigerator Laterally arranged springs ensure

  solid maintenance of tablets put in place.

  In the tablet 2 is inserted a turntable 3, so as to allow it to turn easily by hand in one direction or the other direction This turntable 3 is also preferably made of glass and kept inside. a smooth profiled ring 14 which is made of a plastic material with a coefficient of friction as low as possible. As can be seen from FIG. 3, this smooth ring extends over a central angle of 200 to 240, preferably about 220 The cross section of this smooth ring 14 is, according to FIG. 6, in the form of a lying down H whose upper and lower parallel wings bear the numeral mark 8. As a result, the support plate 9 penetrates into the outer groove of the smooth crown. 14 and the turntable 3 enters the inner groove of the crown The latter can, thanks to its elasticity, be engaged on the edge of the turntable 3 to stay in this e position, because its ends exceed the diagonal of the turntable The smooth crown 14 is then engaged by its outer groove on the circular edge of the support plate 9 Previously, the elastic tab 17 on

  the ring 14 is slightly raised with its abutment element 18.

  This lug 17 is formed by the fact that, in the end zone of this smooth crown 14, the central bar 19 is cut on a short section. This allows the lug 17 to be easily raised above one of the edges. of the support plate 9, so that subsequently said ring 14 can be turned by making a circular movement relative to the support plate 9 until, finally, the smooth ring 14 in its entirety extends over the cutting of the support plate 9 and that the stop 21 (FIG. 5) comes to rest on the front edge of said support plate 9 At the same time, the stop 18 snaps onto the other end behind the front edge 15 Thus, on the one hand the ring 14 is fixed relative to the support plate 9 and on the other hand the turntable 3 can be rotated easily in the smooth ring 14 This prevents tilting of the turntable under the effect of wing 8 Any extraction of turntable 3 forward is impossible because

the angle at the center o exceeds 180.

  In the case where the turntable 3 must be removed from the support plate 9, it is necessary to first raise the tab 17 over the entire thickness of this support plate, which allows, by the relative movement of the ring 14 along the circular recess, to detach

  the turntable 3 of the support plate 9.

  FIGS. 7 and 8 show another embodiment. Unlike the one illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 6, in this case, the support plate 9 and the turntable 3 are not in the same position.

  same horizontal plane but at an offset level with respect to each other.

  The smooth ring 14 'has a z-shaped cross section.

  The turntable 3 is located lower than the support plate 9.

  To fix the support plate 9 made of glass on the lateral reinforcements 10, on each of the two sides there is respectively provided a staple 25, these two staples being arranged close to the front edge of the support plate. These staples 25 are made in one. plastic material

  horizontal rection between which the support plate penetrates 9.

  In this support plate 9 is a vertical bore and in at least one of the branches 26, 27 is a pivot 28 which enters

this piercing.

  The two branches 26, 27 are connected to each other by an element

  This element 30 protrudes from the

  Instead of being made of glass, shelves and turntables can also be made of other materials, for example

made of plastic

  Another variant of the invention lies in the fact, in accordance with
