BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A refrigerator according to the present invention, in particular, an embodiment of a support frame for a storage thereof will be described below with reference to FIGS.

Since the basic structure of the support frame 30 is substantially the same as that of the conventional support frame 19, the same parts are designated by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The support frame 30 is composed of two metal support frame bodies 32a and 32 mounted on the lower portion of the inner wall of the drawer door 31a.
It is composed of b and a reinforcing frame 33 made of synthetic resin attached between the tip portions thereof, and supports a storage box 20 for storing relatively heavy vegetables, fruits and the like.

Mounting members 35a and 35b having screw holes 34 are provided at one ends of the two support frames 32a and 32b, and are attached to the lower part of the inner wall of the drawer door 31a by screws 36. In addition, stoppers 38a, 38 that slide on the upper portions of the support rollers 37a, 37b are provided in the middle portion.
Support plates 39a and 39b with b (38b and 39a are not shown) are provided, and screw holes 40a and 40b, engaging pieces 41a and 41b, engaging protrusions 42a and 42b are provided at the other end, and a reinforcing frame is provided. It is adapted to be fixedly coupled to the end portion of the body 33.

Arms 33a and 33b extending in a right angle direction are provided at the ends of the reinforcing frame 33, and cylindrical sliding members 43a and 43b having upper and lower curved surfaces are integrally formed on the arms 33a and 33b. It has become.

Slits 44a, 44b (44b is not shown) extending in the arm direction are formed in the intermediate portions of the sliding members 43a, 43b so that the engaging projections 42a, 42b of the support frame bodies 32a, 32b can be inserted therein. It has become.

Reference numerals 45a and 45b denote screws, which are screw holes 40a and 40b of the support frames 32a and 32b and screw holes 46a formed in the sliding members 43a and 43b of the reinforcing frame 33.
46b (46b is not shown) is screwed to attach these.

Assembling work of the support frame 30 having the above structure,
The support and the like of the storage box 20 will be described.

The support frame 3 is attached to the lower portion of the inner wall of the drawer door 31a.
Mounting members 35a and 35b at one end of 2a and 32b are arranged, and these are mounted by screws 36.

Sliding members 43a and 43b of the reinforcing frame 33 are arranged at the other ends of the support frames 32a and 32b, and the tips of the support frames 32a and 32b are pushed into the slits 44a and 44b (see FIGS. 2 and 3). , See FIG. 4).

After connecting and fixing, the screws 45a and 45b are screwed in, and the supporting frame bodies 32a and 32b and the reinforcing frame 33 are connected and fixed to form the supporting frame 30.

The storage box 20 is inserted from the upper part of the support frame 30 as shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIGS. 1 and 6 to support it, and is arranged on the upper part of the support plates 39a and 39b. To support.

The sliding members 43a and 43b of the supporting frame 30 are inserted into the rail portions 17a and 17b of the refrigerating case body 11, and the supporting plates 39a and 39b are supported by the supporting rollers 37a and 37a.
Place on top of 37b.

In this way, vegetables, fruits and the like are put in the storage box 20, and the inside of the rail portions 17a and 17b and the upper portions of the supporting rollers 37a and 37b are moved back and forth to be stored.

According to such a refrigerator, the support frame 30 can be assembled simply by attaching the drawer door 31a and the support frame bodies 32a and 32b and the slits 44a and 44 of the sliding members 43a and 43b.
b and the engaging protrusions 42a, 42b of the support frames 32a, 32b
This can be performed extremely easily because it is only necessary to fix the joint and the like.

The storage 13 assembled in this way
Since the sliding members 43a and 43b of a are made of synthetic resin, the rail portions 17a and 17b are connected to the guide rollers 16a and 16b.
Almost the same as when b slides, the sliding member 43a,
43b can be slid and moved.

Therefore, it is not necessary to use the guide rollers 16a and 16b which are mechanically highly accurate and expensive.

Further, the sliding members 43a and 43b are attached to the reinforcing frame 3
Since the support frame 30 is formed integrally with the third frame 3, the number of parts can be reduced and the manufacturing cost can be reduced when the support frame 30 is formed.

In the above embodiment, the mounting member 35 at one end of the supporting frame bodies 32a and 32b is attached to the inner wall of the drawer door 31a.
a, 35b are attached, and then the support frames 32a, 3b
The sliding members 43a and 43b of the reinforcing frame 33 are attached to 2b, but the sliding members 43a of the reinforcing frame 33 are attached to the supporting frame bodies 32a and 32b.
, 43b may be attached, and then the attachment members 35a, 35b of the support frames 32a, 32b may be fixed to the inner wall of the drawer door 31a.

In addition, in the present invention, the support frame 30 is connected to the drawer door 3.
Supporting frame 30 for supporting relatively heavy vegetables and fruits provided at the bottom of 1a
The supporting frame 30 may be provided on the upper portion of the drawer door 31a and supported only on the side portion of the drawer door 31a for relatively light vegetables and fruits.

[0034]

According to the present invention, two supporting frame members each having one end attached to the inner wall of the drawer door and the other end extending to the inner part of the storage chamber,
In a refrigerator in which a supporting frame is composed of a reinforcing frame body attached to the front end portions of the two supporting frame bodies, and a storage box is supported by the supporting frame bodies, the storage chamber is provided at both ends of the reinforcing body. Since a sliding member that slides along the rail portion provided on the inner wall of the storage device is attached, the support frame of the storage can be attached only by connecting and fixing the support frame and the reinforcing frame, and thus is extremely easy to assemble. It can be carried out.

Further, since the sliding member of the present invention is integrally attached to the reinforcing frame, the number of parts can be reduced.

Further, since the sliding member of the present invention has a curved surface at least on the lower surface side, the sliding member can be smoothly slid even without being rotated.

Further, since the two supporting frame bodies and the reinforcing frame body of the present invention are coupled and fixed by the sliding member, the assembling work can be easily performed.
