Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to a refrigerator case that is housed inside the refrigerator and is used to store food.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, as the above-mentioned refrigerator case, for example, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 55-56391,
Commonly used devices include a case body that is housed in the refrigerator and a removable partition plate that partitions the case body in the width direction.

A conventional example having such a cleaning tray for a refrigerator case will be explained with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.
In these figures, 1 is a case body with an open top surface, 2 is a partition plate, and 3 is a cleaning tray that is removably fitted to the bottom of the case body 1. The case body 1 has lower parts 4a of the front and rear side walls 4, 5,
5a protrudes inward through steps 4b, 5b, and vertical grooves 6, 7 are provided at a plurality of locations in the width direction of the lower portions 4a, 5a to face each other. The partition plate 2 is provided with a rib 10 extending over the entire length at the upper end thereof and extending to both sides in the thickness direction. , cutout portions 13 and 14 are formed at the lower rear side via cutout step portions 13a and 14a, respectively. Then, the cleaning tray 3 is fitted into the case body 1 and placed on the bottom of the case body 1, in front of the partition plate 2,
The rear upper convex portions 11 and 12 are fitted and supported by the longitudinal grooves 6 and 7 of the case body 1, and the interior of the case body 1 is partitioned in the width direction by the partition plate 2. Furthermore, the partition plate 2 is not always used by fitting into all of the longitudinal grooves 6, 7 at multiple locations in the width direction of the case body 1, but is often used by fitting into only some of the longitudinal grooves 6, 7. The number of partition plates 2 used and the positions in which they are used may be changed.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

In the conventional refrigerator case configured as described above, if the partition plate 2 does not fit into the vertical grooves 6, 7 of the case body 1 by a height dimension of 1/2 or more of the total height, the partition plate 2 will not fit into the case body 1. However, if the height dimension at which the vertical grooves 6, 7 and the partition plate 2 are fitted is too long, the case body 1 may not be pulled out from the inside of the refrigerator over its entire length in the front and back direction. The partition plate 2 is often attached and detached, and in such cases, it is difficult to attach and detach the partition plate 2. For these reasons, in the refrigerator case shown in FIG. 3, the partition plate 2 is provided below the upper end surface of the side wall of the case body 1 to reduce the overall height.
There is a problem that the food is displaced to both sides of the partition plate 2, and furthermore, the food on the front and rear side walls 4, 5 of the case body 1 is displaced.
Since the lower portions 4a and 5a of the case body 1 protrude inward, there was also a problem in that the effective internal volume of the case body 1 was reduced at a height nearly half the height of the partition plate 2.

This invention solves the problems of the conventional ones mentioned above, and allows the partition plate to be easily attached and detached, and to fit stably into the case body, and the effective internal volume of the case body is large, and it also has a good appearance. The purpose is to provide a case.

[Means for solving problems]

In the refrigerator case of this invention, the convex part at the top of one side in the front and back direction of the partition plate is fitted into the vertical groove part at the top of one of the front and rear walls of the case body, and the rib provided at the top end of the partition plate in the front and back direction. The protrusion protruding from the other side is fitted into the notch on the other upper end surface of the front and rear side walls of the case body, and the notch steps provided on both sides of the lower end of the partition plate in the front and back direction are fitted into the bottom inside the case body. This is engaged with the notches at the top of the front and rear walls of the combined cleaning tray.

[Effect]

As mentioned above, this invention utilizes a cleaning tray fitted to the bottom of the case body, and engages the notch steps at the bottom end of the partition plate with the notches formed in the front and rear walls of this tray. By doing so, the partition plate is supported against the case body at two locations, top and bottom, on both the front and rear sides, so even if the height dimension of the partition plate when fitted to the case body side is short, the partition plate can be easily attached to the case body. The partition plate can be stably supported on the main body side, and the partition plate can be raised to a level that is flat with the upper end surface of the side wall of the case main body, making it easy to attach and remove the partition plate. The upper part of the partition plate, the convex part provided at the upper end, and the protruding part of the rib fit into the upper part of the front and rear side walls, the vertical groove part provided at the upper end part, and the notch part, respectively, so that the lower part of the case body can be turned inward. There is no need to protrude, and the effective internal volume of the case body can be increased.
