Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-339569. JP 2001-317868 A. Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-161782. JP-A-2004-257616.

この伸縮自在棚の９０度回動時（収納時）の確実性を高めるために前述の特許文献３の伸縮自在棚では、前後棚を重複させた伸縮自在棚（重複物）を９０度回転させて、最後に少し落し込ませていた。これにより、伸縮自在棚が前方に倒れることがない。 In order to increase the reliability of the telescopic shelf when rotated 90 degrees (during storage), in the telescopic shelf disclosed in Patent Document 3, the telescopic shelf (duplicate) in which the front and rear shelves overlap is rotated 90 degrees. And I was a little depressed at the end. Thereby, the telescopic shelf does not fall forward.

ことにより、た冷蔵庫の冷蔵室内の棚は、固定されて使用されるため、最初から少々本発明は、この伸縮自在棚を最後に落とし込む構造において、簡単な構造を提供するものである。 Accordingly, since the shelf in the refrigerator compartment of the refrigerator is fixed and used, the present invention provides a simple structure in the structure in which the telescopic shelf is dropped last.

本発明は、前棚(4a)を後方にスライドさせて後棚(4b)に重複させ、この重複した状態で後棚(4b)に設けた回転中心(16)を中心として、両棚の重複物(4)の前部を上方に回動させる冷蔵庫の伸縮自在棚において、冷蔵室の内側壁(11)に設けられ、前記回転中心(16)を受け、後方に拡開したＬ字型の受け部(13)と、前記冷蔵室の内側壁(11)に設けられ、前記後棚の後方への移動を規制する規制部(14)と、冷蔵室の内側壁(11)に設けられ、前記回転軸が前記受け部から外れて少々落し込まれた前記重複物を保持する保持部(15)と、冷蔵室の内側壁(11)に設けられ、前記両棚の重複物(4)の前部を上方に９０度近く回動させた時にこの重複物(4)に当接してこの当接部分を中心としてこの重複物を回動させることにより、前記回転中心(16)を前記受け部(13)から外す当接部(17)とを備えることを特徴とする。 The present invention slides the front shelf (4a) rearward to overlap the rear shelf (4b), and the overlapping of both shelves around the rotation center (16) provided in the rear shelf (4b) in this overlapping state. In the telescopic shelf of the refrigerator that rotates the front part of the object (4) upward, it is provided on the inner wall (11) of the refrigerator compartment, receives the rotation center (16), and expands to the rear. A receiving part (13), provided on the inner wall (11) of the refrigerator compartment, provided on the inner wall (11) of the refrigerator compartment, a restricting part (14) for restricting the rearward movement of the rear shelf, A holding part (15) for holding the overlapping object, the rotating shaft being removed from the receiving part and slightly dropped, and an inner wall (11) of the refrigerator compartment, the overlapping object (4) of the two shelves. When the front part is rotated upward by 90 degrees, the rotating part (16) is brought into contact with the overlapping part (4) and the overlapping part is rotated around the contacting part, whereby the rotation center (16) is moved to the receiving part. Abutment part (17) removed from (13) Characterized in that it comprises.

本発明によれば、伸縮自在棚を90度回転させるだけで、自動的に、伸縮自在棚は、落とし込まれて保持部に保持される。 According to the present invention, the telescopic shelf is automatically dropped and held by the holding unit only by rotating the telescopic shelf by 90 degrees.

更に、前記前棚及び後棚は、ガラス板を備えるとを特徴とする。 Further, the front shelf and the rear shelf include a glass plate.

本発明の実施例１について、図１〜図２３を参照しつつ説明する。図１は、実施例１の冷蔵庫の斜視図である。この冷蔵庫１は、通常の冷蔵庫であり、金属版からなる外板と真空成形された合成樹脂製の内箱との間に発泡断熱材を充填した断熱箱体等からなる。なお、この冷蔵庫の外板の上面の凸部１ａは、冷蔵庫の上面は放熱部として使用されるため、この面には、物を置くと、所定の冷凍能力が出ない。しかし、利用者の中には、この面が、平らなために、物品の保管エリアとしている人もいる。このため、この凸部１ａにより、上面を凸凹として物品の収納には不適とするとともに、もし物を置かれても、間隙が出来やすいようにしている。 A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the refrigerator according to the first embodiment. The refrigerator 1 is an ordinary refrigerator, and includes a heat insulating box body filled with a foam heat insulating material between a metal plate outer plate and a vacuum-formed synthetic resin inner box. In addition, since the convex part 1a of the upper surface of the outer plate of this refrigerator uses the upper surface of a refrigerator as a thermal radiation part, when a thing is put on this surface, a predetermined freezing capacity will not come out. However, some users use this surface as a storage area for goods because it is flat. For this reason, this convex part 1a makes the upper surface uneven, making it unsuitable for storing articles and making it easy to create a gap even if an object is placed.

図２は、冷蔵室２の扉を外した図である。この図２において、３は棚、４は伸縮自在棚である。この伸縮自在棚は、前棚４ａを後方にスライドさせて後棚４ｂに重複させ、この重複した状態で後棚４ｂに設けた回転中心を中心として、両棚の重複物４の前部を上方に回動させて収納される。５は棚である。 FIG. 2 is a view in which the door of the refrigerator compartment 2 is removed. In FIG. 2, 3 is a shelf and 4 is a telescopic shelf. The telescopic shelf slides the front shelf 4a rearward to overlap the rear shelf 4b, and the front part of the overlapped object 4 on both shelves is located above the rotation center provided in the rear shelf 4b in the overlapped state. It is stored in a rotated state. 5 is a shelf.

６はチルド容器を形成する引出しトレイである。７は引出しトレイ、８は冷蔵室の底面に置かれた自動製氷機の給水タンク、９は冷蔵室の底面に置かれた引出しトレイである。１０は仕切り板である。 Reference numeral 6 denotes a drawer tray that forms a chilled container. 7 is a drawer tray, 8 is a water tank of an automatic ice maker placed on the bottom of the refrigerator compartment, and 9 is a drawer tray placed on the bottom of the refrigerator compartment. Reference numeral 10 denotes a partition plate.

図３、図４にこの冷蔵室２の左側内側壁１１を示す。この図３、図４において、１２は、伸縮自在棚用の案内保持部である。 3 and 4 show the left inner wall 11 of the refrigerator compartment 2. In FIGS. 3 and 4, reference numeral 12 denotes a guide holding unit for an extendable shelf.

図５，図６に、この案内保持部１２に伸縮自在棚４をセットした状態を示す。 5 and 6 show a state in which the telescopic shelf 4 is set in the guide holding portion 12. FIG.

この図３〜図６において、この伸縮自在棚４は、前棚４ａを後方にスライドさせて後棚４ｂに重複させ、この重複した状態で後棚４ｂに設けた回転中心１６を中心として、両棚の重複物４の前部を上方に回動させて収納される。 3 to 6, the telescopic shelf 4 is configured such that the front shelf 4a is slid rearward to overlap the rear shelf 4b, and the center of rotation 16 provided on the rear shelf 4b in this overlapped state is the center. The front part of the overlapped object 4 on the shelf is rotated upward and stored.

１３は、冷蔵室の内側壁１１に設けられ、回転中心１６を受け、後方に拡開したＬ字型の受け部である。 Reference numeral 13 denotes an L-shaped receiving portion which is provided on the inner wall 11 of the refrigerator compartment and receives the rotation center 16 and expands rearward.

１４は、冷蔵室の内側壁１１に設けられ、後棚４ｂの後方への移動を規制する規制部である。 Reference numeral 14 denotes a restricting portion that is provided on the inner wall 11 of the refrigerator compartment and restricts the rearward movement of the rear shelf 4b.

１５は、冷蔵室の内側壁１１に設けられ、前記回転中心１６が前記受け部１３から外れて少々落し込まれた重複物４を保持する保持部である。 Reference numeral 15 denotes a holding portion that is provided on the inner wall 11 of the refrigerator compartment and holds the overlapped material 4 in which the rotation center 16 is slightly removed from the receiving portion 13.

１７は、冷蔵室の内側壁１１に設けられ、前記両棚の重複物４の前部を上方に９０度近く回動させた時にこの重複物４に当接してこの当接部分を中心としてこの重複物を回動させることにより、前記回転中心１６を前記受け部１３から外す当接部である。 17 is provided on the inner wall 11 of the refrigerator compartment, and when the front part of the overlapped object 4 of both shelves is turned upward by nearly 90 degrees, it abuts on the overlapped object 4 and this contact part is the center. It is a contact part which removes the said rotation center 16 from the said receiving part 13 by rotating an overlapping thing.

この伸縮自在棚４は、図５，図６のようにセットされる。そして、図７，図８の如く、前棚４ａを後方にスライドさせて後棚４ｂに重複させる。このとき、規制部１４により、後方への移動は規制される。 The telescopic shelf 4 is set as shown in FIGS. Then, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the front shelf 4a is slid rearward to overlap the rear shelf 4b. At this time, the backward movement is restricted by the restriction unit 14.

次に、両棚の重複物４の前部を持って上方に押すと、図７，図８、図９のように回転中心１６を中心に回動する。 Next, when holding the front part of the overlapping object 4 on both shelves and pushing it upward, it rotates about the rotation center 16 as shown in FIGS.

更に回動すると、図１０、図１１の如く、当接部１７に重複物４（前後棚が重複した新伸縮自在棚）の一部が当接し、この当接した部分を回転の中心として重複物が回動する。 When further rotated, as shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, a part of the overlap 4 (new telescopic shelf with overlapping front and rear shelves) comes into contact with the contact part 17 and overlaps with the contacted part as the center of rotation. The object rotates.

これにより、図１２，図１３，図１４の如く、回転中心１６は後方に移動し、重複部４は保持部１５に落し込まれる。この保持部１８に回転中心１６も落ち込み、ガタつきの量を抑える働きをしている。 As a result, as shown in FIGS. 12, 13, and 14, the rotation center 16 moves backward, and the overlapping portion 4 is dropped into the holding portion 15. The rotation center 16 also falls into the holding portion 18 and serves to suppress the amount of backlash.

この収納された棚４を元に戻す場合は、棚４を少し持ち上げて、回転中心１６を受け部１３にセットし、重複物４を前に倒し、その後、前棚４ａだけを引っ張り出す。 When the stored shelf 4 is returned to its original position, the shelf 4 is lifted up a little, and the rotation center 16 is set on the receiving portion 13, the duplicate 4 is brought forward, and then only the front shelf 4 a is pulled out.

なお、この実施例１の前後の棚４ａ，４ｂは、ガラス板と、このガラス板の周辺を樹脂で成形した周辺部とからなり、従来の伸縮自在棚に比べると、重量がある。 The front and rear shelves 4a and 4b of the first embodiment are made of a glass plate and a peripheral portion formed by molding the periphery of the glass plate with resin, and are heavier than a conventional telescopic shelf.
