Description

This utility model

a refrigerator with a compartment defining the storage plan obtained by vacuum forming and presenting, coformed, protruding supports for shelves

To move 1 shelves in different positions it is nowadays necessary to unload them from the products that gravitate to them, extract them completely from the storage compartment, insert them in the same at the desired height (position) resting on the corresponding supports and reposition the previously removed products. shelf (often necessary to allow the support of relatively large bulk products) is therefore a decidedly uncomfortable operation and the present innovation proposes a solution that allows a shelf to be brought from one position to another without having to unload and extract it completely

This result is achieved by a refrigerator conforming to the teachings of the connected claims

The innovation will be better understood from the following detailed description, provided purely as an indication or made in relation to the attached drawing, in the cradle Fig. 1 shows a schematic vertical section of the refrigerator, while

Figures 2 and 3 show two different types of shelves suitable for the operation initially indicated.

With reference to the Figures, 1 indicates the refrigerator as a whole (in the example a refrigerator of the so-called "undercounter" type is shown) and with 2 the relative cell defining the storage compartment 3 and obtained by vacuum forming La the cell has in one piece (ie co-formed with it) projecting support means for shelves, means which are located on the two opposite side walls 2A of the cell.

In Fig. 1 four different types of support means are reproduced, respectively indicated with 4,5,6, and 7. The support means 4 and 6 form an interruption The interruptions are indicated with 8 and divide these support means into two portions indicated with 4a, 4b and 6a, 6b The support means 5 and 7 are continuous and are subject respectively to the support means 4 and 6

The longitudinal extension of the parts 4a, 6a (equal to each other) is indicated with "L", while their projection (see Fig 2) is indicated with P.

The shelves 10, 11 that can be used are substantially of two types (reproduced in Figs 2 and 3). The shelf 10 comprises a glass plate 12 surrounded by a molded plastic frame 13. supporting the cell, a recess 14 with a depth slightly greater than the aforementioned dimension P and a longitudinal extension slightly greater than the aforementioned dimension L The recesses m in question are located in the rear part of the shelf and are delimited (at the rear) by guide appendages 15 , integral parts of the frame 13 A shelf of this type is schematically reproduced in Fig 1 in the position m to which the user has taken it (moving it in the direction of the arrow F) to allow it to pass from the support means 6 to those below 7 From this position, the shelf can be moved vertically with the projections 15 passing through the interruptions 8 and the recesses 14 (which are located m position coinciding with the parts 6a) overriding said parts When the projections 15 come into contact with the underlying support means 7, the shelf 10 is moved in the opposite direction to that of the arrow F to place itself in the new position of use

For the passage of a shelf from the supporting means 4 to the underlying means 5, the shelf must be moved as indicated by the trajectory indicated by the arrow K relative to the projections 15

Instead of the shelf 10 it is possible to use the shelf 11 formed by metal rods or wires reproduced in Fig 3, in which, to indicate parts equivalent and / or corresponding to those of Fig 2, the same references with apex are used

Claims (4)

CLAIMS 1 Refrigerator with cell, defining the storage compartment, obtained by vacuum forming and presenting, co-formed, projecting supports for shelves, characterized in that it has at least one pair of projecting supports (4; 6) cooperating with each other to support a shelf (10, 11) and presenting an interruption (8) which divides each support (4, 6) into two parts (4a, 4b, 6a, 6b), while the shelf (10, 11) has terminal appendages (15) suitable for passing through said interruption (8) and recesses (14, 14 ') suitable for overcoming without interference of one (4a, 6a) of said parts. 2. Refrigerator according to claim 1, wherein the shelf 810) comprises a glass plate (12) framed by a frame of plastic material (13), which frame has the recesses (14) at the rear delimited by the appendages (15) ( Fig. 2) 3 Refrigerator according to claim 1, where the shelf (11) is made of wire or metal rod and has the recesses (14 ') at the rear delimited by the appendages (15') 4. Refrigerator according to at least one of the preceding claims, in which continuous projecting supports (5, 7) are provided below the interrupted ones (4 and 6)
