Description

  The present invention relates to a sliding tray useful for effective use of a storage space in, for example, a refrigerator.

  For example, a refrigerator has a required number of storage units formed by a plurality of shelves that divide the interior of the refrigerator up and down, and each storage unit stores articles such as food.

  In a refrigerator, a gap may be generated between an article placed on a shelf board and a shelf board above the article. This is because some articles cannot be stacked, or the articles are tried to be stacked and stored, but cannot be stored in the storage unit. This gap becomes a so-called dead space.

  Therefore, it is considered that the dead space can be effectively used by providing, for example, a slide-type tray disclosed in Patent Document 1 in the gap.

JP-A-8-121919

The tray according to Patent Document 1 is slidably supported in the front-rear direction by a pair of guides arranged on the lower surface side of the shelf board.
By the way, it is not certain which storage section in the storage the above-mentioned dead space is generated depending on the storage condition of the articles, and it is preferable that the tray arrangement can be changed according to the occurrence of the dead space.

  However, in the tray according to Patent Document 1, since the pair of guides that support the tray are integrally provided on the lower surface of the shelf plate, the mounting position of the tray with respect to the shelf plate cannot be freely changed, There is a problem that the dead space under the shelf cannot be used effectively as expected.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and provides a slide-type tray that can freely change the mounting position of the tray with respect to the shelf board and thereby can effectively use the space under the shelf. It is intended to do.

In order to achieve the above object, a sliding tray according to the present invention comprises:

A guide rod portion, a first suspension support member spanned between the clamp portion and the guide rail portion, and the guide rod portion and the guide rail portion behind the first suspension support member. It is preferable to include a second suspension support tool that is stretched over (second device).

  In the present invention, the tray is preferably provided with an opening for introducing cold air into the tray (third device).

  According to the sliding tray of the first device, since the tray is suspended and supported by the support mechanism having the clamp part for holding the shelf board so as to be movable in the front-rear direction of the shelf board, the clamping position of the clamp part with respect to the shelf board is determined. By changing the position, it is possible to freely change the tray mounting position with respect to the shelf board, so that the space under the shelf can be used effectively.

In the sliding tray of the second device, the guide rail portion and the guide rod portion of the support mechanism are arranged in parallel in the vertical direction, and the first suspension support tool is provided between the clamp portion and the guide rail portion. The second suspension support tool is stretched over the guide rail portion. Thereby, the width dimension of a support mechanism and the width dimension of a tray can be made substantially the same.
If the support mechanism has a structure that protrudes greatly in the width direction with respect to the tray, dead space will remain on both sides of the tray, but if the support mechanism has a structure substantially the same as the width of the tray, The dead space does not remain on both sides of the tray, and the space under the shelf can be used to the maximum extent possible.

  According to the sliding tray of the third device, since the opening for introducing cold air is provided inside the tray, for example, when used in a refrigerator, the cold air is efficiently sent to the articles in the tray through the opening. be able to.
