[Prior art]
For example, as shown in FIGS. 4 (a) to 4 (d), a conventional refrigerator has a pair of left and right sides on both side walls of a refrigerator compartment 3 formed by a partition wall 2 that divides the inside of the box 1 up and down. Thus, the plurality of mounting shelves 4 and / or the mounting shelves 5 on which foods are placed are supported by the plurality of support portions 3a provided above and below.
[0003]
However, in the first example shown in FIG. 4 (a), the vertical spacing of the mounting shelves 4 can be adjusted by replacing the mounting racks 4 corresponding to the vertical positions of the support portions 3a. On the other hand, both side walls of the refrigerating chamber 3 become uneven due to the support portion 3a, which has a problem that the wall surface becomes complicated and difficult to clean.
[0004]
Further, in the second example shown in FIG. 4B, the convex support portion 3a extending in the front-rear direction is slidable to the support portion 3a at the lower end of both sides of the shelf 5 described above. An engaging portion 5a ′ having a concave cross section is provided, and the surface of the shelf 5 can be moved to the position indicated by the broken line by reversing the left and right positions of the engaging portion 5a ′. In this case, the surface of the shelf 5 can only move slightly, and there is no remarkable effect.
[0005]
In addition, in the third example shown in FIG. 4C, the height of the front portion of the previous shelf 4 is increased by sliding the previous shelf 5 backward, If foods are placed on the front part of the placement shelf 4, the rear part becomes unrecognizable.
[0006]
Further, in the fourth example shown in FIG. 4 (d), the two above-described storage shelves 5 formed in a substantially U-shaped cross section are arranged on the left and right, but the left and right side walls have a double structure. The problem was that the space in the direction would be narrowed.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the present invention, in view of the above-mentioned problems, the vertical position of the mounting shelf on which foods are placed and supported on the upper and lower sides in the refrigerator compartment is appropriately changed according to the size of the foods with a simple configuration. Another object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerator capable of pulling out the mounting shelf while foods are placed on the mounting surface, and improving the strength of the mounting shelf.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
