Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a device provided with a top plate (top table) on which a microwave oven can be placed on the upper part of the main body as necessary, and particularly to a cooling storage such as a refrigerator or a freezer equipped with a top table. .
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, the upper part of the refrigerator is a flat surface, and it is very common in the home to place things on top of it. In particular, some small refrigerators are provided with a top table for presuming that cooking utensils and electrical appliances in a kitchen such as a microwave oven and an oven toaster are placed in advance.
[0003]
For example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 48-13967 includes a recess for engaging a table plate on the top surface of the refrigerator body with a leg attached to the bottom surface of the microwave oven when the microwave oven is placed on the refrigerator. In other words, a microwave oven that can be placed in a stable and reliable manner is disclosed.
[0004]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state where a microwave oven 2 is placed on a refrigerator 1, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view thereof. The refrigerator 1 includes a freezer compartment door 3 and a refrigerator compartment door 4 on the front surface, and a foamable heat insulating material 6 is filled inside the main body outer box 5. A top table 7 is provided on the upper surface of the refrigerator, and a microwave oven 2 and the like can be placed thereon.
[0010]
In the present invention, when the microwave oven 2 is placed on the top of the refrigerator 1, the microwave oven 2 can be fixed by the fixture 8 so that it can be placed stably and reliably.
[0011]
FIG. 3 is a top table 7 according to the present invention, and FIG. The top table 7 is integrally formed of a synthetic resin such as ABS. In addition, since a microwave oven, an oven toaster, etc. generate | occur | produce heat, it is desirable to make the top table 7 heat-resistant (about 100 degreeC) supposing the case where they are mounted.
[0012]
A convex portion 9 is formed around the top table 7. The convex portion 9 plays a role of preventing the front and rear and the left and right sides from falling due to vibration or the like when an accessory is placed on the top table 7. The mounting portion 10 at the center of the top table 7 surrounded by the protrusions 9 is a fine unevenness (depth of about 10 μm) that also serves as a decorative pattern called a wrinkle (wrinkle shape such as leather or woven fabric). Has been processed. Such processing also serves to stabilize the placed microwave oven so that it does not move due to vibration.
[0013]
The mounting part 10 of the top table 7 is provided with a fixing part 11 so that a fixing tool 8 can be attached. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the fixing portion 11 is provided with a mark so that it can be distinguished from other portions. That is, in this embodiment, the mounting portion 10 is entirely subjected to the embossing process, whereas the fixing portion 11 is not subjected to any processing, and can be distinguished from other parts. Playing a role.
[0014]
The surface of the fixed portion 11 includes a thin portion 12 having a thickness of about 0.5 mm, and a locking portion 13 such as a boss that fits with a screw or the like is provided below the thin portion 12. That is, when trying to fix the microwave oven with the fixture 8, the fixture 8 can break the thin-walled portion 12 on the surface of the fixing portion 11 and fix it with the locking portion 13 embedded below the fixing portion 11. By locking the tool 8, the microwave oven 2 can be securely attached.
[0015]
The fixture 8 includes, for example, a fastener 8a and a screw 8b for fixing the fastener 8a. That is, with this screw 8b, the thin portion 12 of the fixing portion 11 can be easily broken and locked with the boss below it. The fastener 8a is provided with a hole through which the screw 8b passes, and this hole has a long hole shape so that the fixing position can be finely adjusted depending on the size of the mounted object.
[0016]
FIG. 5 shows an example in which a plurality of fixing portions 11 are provided on the mounting portion 10 of the top table 7, and FIG. By providing a plurality of fixing portions 11, it is possible to use a large-sized fastener 8 a and to place the microwave oven 2 more stably. Since the unused fixing portion 11 is covered with the thin portion 12, it can be identified, but is not so conspicuous and causes no problem in appearance.
[0017]
7-10 shows the positional relationship at the time of mounting the microwave oven 2 on the top table 7 provided with the fixing | fixed part 11 provided in multiple places. 7 shows a state of being fixed at the rear center portion of the microwave oven 2, FIG. 8 shows a state of being fixed at the front center lower portion of the microwave oven 2, and FIG. FIG. 10 shows a state in which the microwave oven 2 is fixed at two locations, the rear center portion (using a large fastener) and the right side portion. As described above, by providing a plurality of fixing portions 11, it is possible to satisfactorily fix even if there is a difference in the size of a mounting device such as a microwave oven or an oven toaster, and to fix more firmly at a plurality of locations. It is also possible. Moreover, since the position of the microwave oven 2 can also be freely adjusted within the mounting portion 10, it can be fixed, for example, closer to the sink, and the convenience of the user can be improved. Can do.
[0018]
FIG. 11 shows an embodiment in which the mounting portion 10 of the top table 7 is not subjected to the embossing, FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view of the main portion, and FIG. FIG. 14 is a cross-sectional view of an essential part of an example in which the parts are provided.
[0019]
When not subjected to the texture processing, a concave or convex mark 14 is provided around the fixed portion 11 in order to recognize the fixed portion 11. The mark 14 may be set to a height or depth that does not obstruct the mounted object when the fixed portion 11 is not used. The fixing portion 11 in this embodiment also includes a thin portion 12 and a locking portion 13 such as a boss as in the above-described embodiment.
[0020]
In addition, although the present Example demonstrated the case of the refrigerator as an example, it cannot be overemphasized that cooling storages, such as a freezer, may be sufficient. Moreover, anything may be used as long as it can place a placement object such as a microwave oven or an oven toaster on the upper surface. For example, it can also be used as a top table of a storage container such as a rice bin.
[0021]
【The invention's effect】
As described in detail above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, when placing a placing object such as a microwave oven or an oven toaster on the top table, the fixing member is locked to the fixing portion, so that it is simple and strong. The mounted object can be fixed to the structure, and at least two or more fixing parts are provided. Therefore, even the mounted objects of different sizes can be appropriately adjusted and fixed according to the size.
[0022]
Further, according to the invention of claim 2, since the mark is applied to the fixing portion, it can be fixed easily. Furthermore, even when the object to be mounted is not fixed, the fixing part is configured not to interfere with the mounting part, and thus a replacement table plate or the like is unnecessary as in the prior art.
[0023]
[0024]
Moreover, according to the invention of Claim 3 , while being able to utilize the main body upper part effectively, the cooling storehouse which can mount a mounting object stably can be provided.
