Next, the operation of the guard of the shelf net according to the embodiment will be described below. The guard 18 is attached to the main body 1.
It is detachably attached to the shelf receiving posts 14, 14 via the latches 20, 20 provided at the ends of the movable portion 8a and the movable portion 18b. Since the attachment of the latches 20, 20 is basically the same on both the main body 18a and the movable portion 18b, the attachment of the latch 20 provided on the main body 18a will be described in detail. With respect to the attachment of the latch 20 arranged at 18b, only different parts will be described.

As a procedure for mounting the guard 18, first, a latch 20 disposed on the main body 18a is latched on a shelf support post 14 disposed on the rear side of the storage room 10a. That is, when attaching the latch 20 to the shelf support post 14,
As shown in FIG. 4, the hook piece 22a formed at the tip of the support side 22 is inserted into the hook hole 14a of the shelf receiving column 14, and the hook piece 22a is hooked on the upper edge of the hook hole 14a. Next, the insertion piece 2 formed at the tip of the inclined side 24
4a is brought into contact with the lower edge of the hook hole 14a one step below the position where the hook piece 22a is inserted. In this state, the slanted side 24 of the latch 20 is pressed against the shelf receiving column 14 by a finger to be bent, whereby the insertion piece 24a is inserted into the hook hole 14a, and the mounting is completed.

When the guard 18 is to be removed from the shelf receiving posts 14, 14, the latch 20 provided on the movable portion 18b is detached from the front shelf receiving post 14, contrary to the aforementioned mounting procedure. After that, it is easily carried out by removing the latch 20 provided on the main body 18a from the shelf receiving column 14 on the rear side.

As described above, since the guard 18 of the embodiment is mounted in the storage room 10a by using the shelf receiving columns 14, 14, as shown in FIG. The height from the mounting surface can be adjusted according to the height dimension. In addition, if the plurality of guards 18 are vertically separated from each other, it is possible to reliably prevent the food or drink having a high height or the like from dropping from the shelf net 12 even if the food or drink is low. Furthermore, when the shelf networks 12 and 12 adjacent to the left and right are arranged at the same height, by removing the guard 18 from the shelf receiving posts 14 and 14, food and drink can be placed between the two. Becomes In addition, since no guard is provided on the shelf network 12, the package in which the shelf network 12 is packed does not become bulky.

When the guard 18 is to be mounted on a refrigerator having different specifications in which the distance between the front and rear shelf receiving columns 14, 14 is different from each other, the movable portion 18b of the guard 18 is expanded and contracted with respect to the main body 18a, and the This can be dealt with by adjusting the spacing of the latches 20, 20 to the spacing of the columns 14, 14 (see FIG. 2). That is, it is not necessary to prepare guards 18 whose dimensions are set for each specification of the refrigerator, and inventory management and the like can be simplified. In addition, since the movable portion 18b is configured to be rotatable with respect to the main body portion 18a, the hook 2
When the main unit 18a and the movable unit 1
8b has the advantage that it can be easily performed without applying excessive force. Furthermore, since the shelf net 12 can be placed on the hooks 20 of the guard 18, the guard 18 can be used as a shelf receiver for the shelf net 12 when the guard 18 is not required. It is possible.

In the embodiment, the shelf support columns 1 located in front and rear are
The case where the directions of the hook holes 14a, 14a are orthogonal to each other has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the hook holes 14a, 14a of the May also be oriented in the left-right direction. When the shelf receiving pillars 14 and 14 are arranged in this manner, the hook 18 is hooked in the same direction as the hook 20 provided on the movable portion 18b without forming the bent portion 18c on the main body 18a of the guard 18. The fastener 20 may be provided. Further, the movable portion 18b provided in the main body portion 18a may be configured so that it can only expand and contract and cannot rotate.

[0023]

As described above, according to the shelf net guard according to the present invention, since the guard is detachably attached to the shelf receiving post on which the shelf net is disposed, the guard is placed on the shelf net. By changing the mounting position according to the height of the food or the like, the fall of the food or the like from the shelf net can be reliably prevented. Further, since the movable portion is arranged to be extendable and contractible with respect to the main body of the guard, it is possible to cope with various specifications in which the spacing between the shelf receiving columns for arranging the shelf network is different. That is,
It is not necessary to prepare guards whose dimensions are set for each specification of the refrigerator or the like, and it is possible to simplify inventory management and the like.
Further, since the shelf support pillar for arranging the shelf network is used for mounting the guard, it is not necessary to dispose a new member for mounting the guard, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. doing. Also, it is possible to place a shelf net on the latch of the guard, so if there is no need for a guard,
It is possible to use it as a shelf receipt for a shelf network. Furthermore,
Since the movable portion is configured to be rotatable with respect to the main body portion, there is an effect that the mounting bracket can be easily attached to the shelf receiving column.
