Description
Descrizione di modello di utilità Utility model description
Forma oggetto del presente trovato un dispositivo per regolare l'altezza di ripiani entro un vano di conservazione di un frigorifero secondo il preambolo della rivendicazione principale. The present invention relates to a device for adjusting the height of shelves within a storage compartment of a refrigerator according to the preamble of the main claim.
Sono già stati proposti vari dispositivi atti a consentire la regolazione dell'altezza di ripiani nel vano di un frigorifero. Tali soluzioni consentono solo regolazioni "grossolane", o meglio, solo regolazioni che portano i ripiani, sovrapposti nel vano di conservazione, a distanze comunque rilevanti tra loro. Various devices have already been proposed for allowing the height adjustment of shelves in the compartment of a refrigerator. These solutions allow only "coarse" adjustments, or rather, only adjustments that bring the shelves, superimposed in the storage compartment, to however considerable distances between them.
Sono stati proposti anche dispositivi che consentono regolazioni in altezza dei ripiani sostanzialmente continui. Tali dispositivi tuttavia sono costosi e di difficile applicazione nei frigoriferi . Devices have also been proposed which allow substantially continuous height adjustments of the shelves. However, these devices are expensive and difficult to apply in refrigerators.
Scopo del presente trovato è quello di offrire un dispositivo per regolare l'altezza dei ripiani nel vano di conservazione di un frigorifero che permetta una regolazione "fine" di tale altezza, ma che nel contempo abbia un costo contenuto e sia di facile applicazione entro un frigorifero. The purpose of the present invention is to offer a device for adjusting the height of the shelves in the storage compartment of a refrigerator which allows a "fine" adjustment of this height, but which at the same time has a low cost and is easy to apply within a refrigerator.
Un altro scopo è quello di offrire un dispositivo del tipo citato che sia di facile impiego da parte di un utente. Another object is to offer a device of the aforementioned type which is easy to use by a user.
Questi ed altri scopi che risulteranno evidenti all'esperto del ramo vengono raggiunti da un dispositivo secondo le unite rivendicazioni. These and other objects which will be evident to the skilled in the art are achieved by a device according to the appended claims.
Per una maggior comprensione del presente trovato si allega a titolo puramente indicativo, ma non limitativo, il seguente disegno, in cui: For a better understanding of the present invention, the following drawing is attached for purely indicative but not limitative purposes, in which:
la figura 1 mostra schematicamente, in vista prospettica ed esplosa, l'interno di un vano di un frigorifero ove è posto un dispositivo secondo il trovato a cui sono applicati ripiani diversi; Figure 1 schematically shows, in a perspective and exploded view, the interior of a compartment of a refrigerator containing a device according to the invention to which different shelves are applied;
la figura 2 mostra una vista ingrandita del particolare indicato con A in figura 1; e figure 2 shows an enlarged view of the detail indicated with A in figure 1; And
la figura 3 mostra una sezione secondo la traccia 3-3 di figura 2. Figure 3 shows a section along the line 3-3 of Figure 2.
Con riferimento alle citate figure, un vano di conservazione di un frigorifero è indicato genericamente con 1 e comprende un corpo coibentato 2 da usuale materiale schiumato 3. Tale vano definito da pareti laterali 4 (una sola visibile in figura), da un fondo 5 e d è aperto su un lato ove è posta una usuale porta (non mostrata). With reference to the aforementioned figures, a storage compartment of a refrigerator is generically indicated with 1 and comprises a body 2 insulated by the usual foamed material 3. This compartment defined by side walls 4 (only one visible in the figure), by a bottom 5 and d it is open on one side where a usual door is placed (not shown).
Sulle pareti laterali 4 sono disposte, alla stessa altezza, coppie di elementi portanti 10 atti a supportare aggetti 11 di ripiani 12 e 13 (che possono essere in metallo, come il ripiano 12, o in vetro, come il ripiano 13). In particolare, tali elementi 10 comprendono un corpo 15 allungato lungo la corrispondente parete 4 presentante una faccia 16 appoggiata contro la parete laterale 4 del vano 1 e da cui si aggettano perni 17 (uno solo visibile in figura 3) atti a cooperare per interferenza con sedi 18 previste nel corpo coibentato 2 così da centrare tale corpo 15 su detto corpo coibentato 2; usuali organi di fissaggio (ad esempio viti o chiodi, non mostrati) posti in fori 19 fissano il corpo 15 a quello 2. On the side walls 4 are arranged, at the same height, pairs of load-bearing elements 10 adapted to support projections 11 of shelves 12 and 13 (which can be made of metal, like the shelf 12, or made of glass, like the shelf 13). In particular, these elements 10 comprise a body 15 elongated along the corresponding wall 4 presenting a face 16 resting against the side wall 4 of the compartment 1 and from which pins 17 project (only one visible in figure 3) able to cooperate by interference with seats 18 provided in the insulated body 2 so as to center said body 15 on said insulated body 2; usual fastening members (for example screws or nails, not shown) placed in holes 19 fasten the body 15 to that 2.
Ogni corpo 15 comprende una faccia libera 20 contrapposta alla faccia 16 e rivolta verso l'interno del vano 1 e lati contrapposti 21 e 22 sostanzialmente ortogonali a tali facce 16 e 20. In corrispondenza del lato 21 ed almeno entro la faccia 20 (ed eventualmente anche nella faccia 16) sono presenti una pluralità di incavi ciechi 25 posti a diverse altezze lungo tale corpo allungato 15 e comunque ravvicinati fra loro. Gli incavi 25 presentano un lato superiore 26 ed uno inferiore 27 (con riferimento all'estensione in altezza del vano 1); il lato superiore 26 è preferibilmente inclinato rispetto a quello 27; quest'ultimo termina con un'estremità libera 30 preferibilmente sollevata verso il lato 26 sovrastante. Tale configurazione dei lati 26 e 27 di ogni incavo 25 consente la facile introduzione in quest'ultimo di un corrispondente aggetto 11 di un ripiano 12 e 13; un sicuro supporto di tale aggetto nell'incavo rende molto difficile la fuoriuscita occasionale da tale incavo di detto aggetto. Ovviamente gli aggetti 11 di un ripiano 12 o 13 devono penetrare in incavi 25 posti alla stessa altezza sui vari elementi 10. Each body 15 comprises a free face 20 opposite to face 16 and turned towards the interior of the compartment 1 and opposite sides 21 and 22 substantially orthogonal to said faces 16 and 20. In correspondence with side 21 and at least within face 20 (and possibly also in the face 16) there are a plurality of blind recesses 25 placed at different heights along this elongated body 15 and in any case close together. The recesses 25 have an upper side 26 and a lower side 27 (with reference to the height extension of the compartment 1); the upper side 26 is preferably inclined with respect to that 27; the latter ends with a free end 30 preferably raised towards the overlying side 26. This configuration of the sides 26 and 27 of each recess 25 allows the easy introduction into the latter of a corresponding projection 11 of a shelf 12 and 13; a secure support of this projection in the recess makes it very difficult for said projection to occasionally come out of this recess. Obviously the projections 11 of a shelf 12 or 13 must penetrate into recesses 25 placed at the same height on the various elements 10.
Il lato 21 di ogni elemento portante 10 di ogni coppia di tali elementi presente sulle pareti 4 può essere rivolto verso la parete di fondo 5 di tale vano; tale soluzione è rappresentata a tratto pieno in figura 1. Tuttavia tale lato 21 di ogni elemento 10 può essere anche rivolto verso il lato aperto del vano 4, pur consentendo alle coppie suddette di supportare adeguatamente i ripiani 12 e 13 del vano 4 (tale soluzione è rappresentata con linea a tratti in figura 1). The side 21 of each bearing element 10 of each pair of such elements present on the walls 4 can face the bottom wall 5 of this compartment; this solution is shown in solid line in figure 1. However, this side 21 of each element 10 can also be turned towards the open side of the compartment 4, while allowing the aforementioned couples to adequately support the shelves 12 and 13 of the compartment 4 (this solution is represented with broken lines in figure 1).
Il dispositivo secondo il trovato è di semplice realizzazione, di facile montaggio entro il vano di conservazione del frigorifero, permette una facile pulizia delle sue pareti laterali ed è di semplice impiego per l'utente. Inoltre la vicinanza fra gli incavi 25 degli elementi portanti 10 garantisce una regolazione fine da parte dell'utente della posizione dei ripiani del frigorifero. The device according to the invention is simple to make, easy to assemble inside the refrigerator storage compartment, allows easy cleaning of its side walls and is easy to use for the user. Furthermore, the proximity between the recesses 25 of the bearing elements 10 ensures a fine adjustment by the user of the position of the refrigerator shelves.
Sono inoltre possibili varianti alla soluzione descritta come quella che prevede che gli incavi 25 siano passanti e si aprano in corrispondenza della faccia 20 e dei lati 21 e 22 contrapposti, detti incavi avendo una porzione depressa atta a contenere gli aggetti 11. Inoltre gli elementi portanti possono essere integrali al corpo 2 della cella ed essere ricavati per vacumatura assieme a quest'ultima . Anche tali varianti sono considerate ricadere nel presente trovato. There are also possible variants of the solution described, such as the one that provides that the hollows 25 pass through and open at the face 20 and the opposite sides 21 and 22, said hollows having a depressed portion suitable for containing the projections 11. Furthermore, the supporting elements they can be integral with the body 2 of the cell and be obtained by vacuuming together with the latter. These variants are also considered to fall within the present invention.
