Abstract

The separators are fabricated as a single piece of moulded plastic that fits transversely between the walls of the door shelf of the refrigerator. The lower part of the separator is in the shape of an arc (3A) which projects into the internal space of the shelf. The upper part of the separator is 'W'-shaped, with the central peak higher that the two sides. The ends of the 'W' meet the ends of the arc at a flattened region, with a shoulder at the top edge of the flattened region. The flattened region presses against the upper part of the inner wall of the shelf, and the shoulder (3D) extends over the top edge of the shelf. The compression needed to allow insertion of the separator into the shelf ensures the separator is held in place inside the shelf.

Description

DESCRIPTION
La présente invention concerne un séparateur destiné à des plateaux ou des supports simiilaires utilisés dans des réfrigérateurs ou des meubles en général, pour séparer des conteneurs de toute sorte, tels que des bouteilles, des bocaux, des boîtes, etc. les uns des autres.
DESCRIPTION
The present invention relates to a separator for trays or similar supports used in refrigerators or furniture in general, for separating containers of all kinds, such as bottles, jars, boxes, etc. one another.

Dans les meubles et en particulier dans les réfrigérateurs munis, dans leur porte, de plateaux ou de supports pour des conteneurs de toute sorte ou toute forme, ces conteneurs placés dans le même support doivent être gardés séparés les uns des autres pour différentes raisons, telles que le bruit ennuyeux produit par les conteneurs se cognant les uns les autres lors de l'ouverture ou de la fermeture de la porte, la possibilité de casse dans le cas de conteneurs en verre, et une certaine difficulté à insérer ou à extraire les conteneurs lorsque ceux-ci sont comprimés les uns contre les autres. In furniture and in particular in refrigerators fitted, in their door, with trays or supports for containers of any kind or shape, these containers placed in the same support must be kept separate from each other for different reasons, such as that the annoying noise produced by the containers bumping into each other when opening or closing the door, the possibility of breakage in the case of glass containers, and some difficulty in inserting or removing the containers when these are compressed against each other.

Un séparateur pouvant résoudre ces inconvénients doit lui-même satisfaire à une série de consitions requises telles qu'un très faible coût, un montage et un démontage faciles et une stabilité adéquate une fois mis en place. Ces exigences sont satisfaites par le séparateur de la présente invention, consistant en une seule pièce de matière plastique de configuration en boucle continue possèdant une zone inférieure arquée, une zone supérieure essentiellement en forme de W et une zone intermédiaire présentant des évidements opposés destinés à engager par enclenchement les arêtes du support du conteneur. A separator capable of solving these drawbacks must itself satisfy a series of required conditions such as very low cost, easy assembly and disassembly and adequate stability once put in place. These requirements are met by the separator of the present invention, consisting of a single piece of plastics material in a continuous loop configuration having an arcuate lower zone, an essentially W-shaped upper zone and an intermediate zone having opposite recesses intended to engage by engaging the edges of the container support.

La présente invention sera mieux comprise en référence à la description détaillée d'une réalisation préférée donnée ci-après sous forme d'un exemple nonlimitatif en référence au dessin en annexe, dans lequel: la figure I est une vue avant du séparateur; la figure 2 est une vue de celuici dans le sens de la flèche A de la figure 1 la figure 3 est une vue en perspective du séparateur monté sur un plateau ou un support de conteneur. The present invention will be better understood with reference to the detailed description of a preferred embodiment given below in the form of a nonlimiting example with reference to the attached drawing, in which: FIG. I is a front view of the separator; Figure 2 is a view of this in the direction of arrow A in Figure 1 Figure 3 is a perspective view of the separator mounted on a tray or a container support.

Sur les figures, le numéro de référence 1 indique un plateau ou support pour conteneurs en général, devant être retenu ou transporté par la porte d'un article d'ameublement ou un réfrigérateur. Le support I comprend deux parois parallèles présentant des portions épaissies longitudinales 2A en leurs extrémités supérieures. In the figures, the reference number 1 indicates a tray or support for containers in general, to be retained or transported by the door of a furnishing article or a refrigerator. The support I comprises two parallel walls having thickened longitudinal portions 2A at their upper ends.

Le séparateur de la présente invention, indiqué généralement par le numéro 3, est fait de matière plastique, a la forme d'une boucle continue et est déformable de manière élastique en raison de sa forme spéciale qui comprend une zone inférieure arquée 3A, une zone supérieure 3B essentiellement en forme de W et une zone intermédiaire comprenant deux évidements opposés se faisant face indiqués par le numéro 3C ainsi que deux brides coplanaires 3D s'étendant vers l'extérieur. La zone supérieure 3B comprend un point de rebroussement central 3E, deux dépressions 3F à la base de celuiì et dieux côtés terminaux 3G qui se terminent au niveau de la bride 3D et définissent avec le point de rebroussement 3E la configuration essentiellement en forme de W. The separator of the present invention, generally indicated by the number 3, is made of plastic material, has the shape of a continuous loop and is elastically deformable due to its special shape which includes an arcuate lower zone 3A, a zone upper 3B essentially W-shaped and an intermediate zone comprising two opposite recesses facing each other indicated by the number 3C as well as two coplanar 3D flanges extending outwards. The upper zone 3B comprises a central cusp point 3E, two depressions 3F at the base of it and two terminal 3G sides which terminate at the level of the 3D flange and define with the cusp point 3E the essentially W-shaped configuration.

Le séparateur 3 est fixé au support 1 en pressant le point de rebroussement 3D de manière à légèrement contracter la zone intermédiaire du séparateur, c'est-à-dire celle des évidements 3C, puis en insérant partiellement le séparateur entre les parois 2 jusqu'à ce que les évidements 3C s'engagent avec les saillies 2A et que les brides 3D reposent sur l'arête supérieure des parois 2 du support 1.  The separator 3 is fixed to the support 1 by pressing the 3D turning point so as to slightly contract the intermediate zone of the separator, that is to say that of the recesses 3C, then by partially inserting the separator between the walls 2 until that the recesses 3C engage with the projections 2A and that the 3D flanges rest on the upper edge of the walls 2 of the support 1.

comme le montre clairement la figure 1. Une procédure analogue est utilisée pour retirer le séparateur. as clearly shown in Figure 1. A similar procedure is used to remove the separator.
