Abstract

PURPOSE:To contrive the alleviation of a rattling noise made by striking bottles against door pockets and shelves, damage and breakage thereto and a rattling noise made by striking the bottles against one another by providing a bottom inclined to the surface of a floor in the pocket of a door having a pivot at its lower side. CONSTITUTION:A door 5 is freely rotatably mounted to a pivot 12. When the door 5 is closed from a fully forwardly opening position 13, a force F produced by doing so is eliminated upon impact with a refrigerating chamber 4. Although a bottle 14 placed in a door pocket 9 attempts to move into the condition of a bottle 15 due to inertia force, a force F2 applied by inclining the bottom of the door pocket 9 to the outside of the door counteracts the inertia force of the bottles, whereby a rocking movement from the bottle 14 to the bottle 15 is eliminated. This alleviates a rattling noise made by striking the bottle against the door pockets and shelves, the breakage and damage thereto and a rattling noise made by striking the bottles against one another.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a door shelf device for a refrigerator having a front opening/closing door, such as a personal type refrigerator used in a limited space such as a one-room apartment.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In recent years, personal refrigerators, which are installed in limited spaces such as studio apartments and apartments and adjacent to furniture, are increasingly being used to store beer, juice, and other bottles.

Conventionally, in this type of personal type refrigerator, the opening/closing door has been provided with pivot parts at the upper and lower ends of the refrigerator body, and has been opened to the right or to the left.

When the opening/closing door is opened, it may come into contact with furniture or the like and cause damage, or if it is attempted to be opened without contacting the furniture or the like, it becomes difficult to take bottles in and out.

On the other hand, in the 1989 spring sales light model, like the NR-C9Z1 from Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd., there is a door on the front opening/closing door.
Refrigerators with pockets were also seen.

This opening/closing door has a pivot shaft on the lower side of the door and a door pocket at the bottom of the inner plate of the opening/closing door. When a bottle is stored in the door pocket and the door is forcefully closed, as soon as the door hits the front opening (outer box) of the refrigerator, the top of the bottle swings like a pendulum due to the force of inertia. They also hit door pockets and shelves inside the bottle cabinet, causing unpleasant noises, scratches, and damage.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the Matsushita NR-C9Z1, when the opening/closing door is forcefully closed, the top of the bottle swings like a pendulum inside the door pocket, causing damage to the door pocket, photo 1v9f4 comrades, and the inside of the refrigerator. It also had the disadvantage of hitting shelves and the like, causing unpleasant noises, scratches, and damage.

The present invention solves the conventional problem, and even when the opening/closing door is forcefully closed, the objects stored in the door pocket swing like a pendulum inside the door pocket.
Sound of collision with shelves, etc., breakage, damage.

B) An object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerator door shelf device that does not generate collision noises between comrades.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve this object, the refrigerator of the present invention has an opening/closing door having a pivot shaft that pivots around the lower side, and a button or the like on the inner panel of the opening/closing door. Door for storage - A door with pockets and the head of the stored bottles tilting towards the inner panel of the door for storage.
It has a bottom plate of the pocket.

Operation The present invention has the structure described above, even if the door is forcefully closed, the center of gravity of the objects is on the inner plate side of the door, so when the door is closed, the inertia of the object is reduced. Since the bottles cancel each other out, the bottles will no longer swing like a pendulum, resulting in noise and damage caused by collisions with doors, pockets, shelves, etc.

This eliminates damage, collision noise between bottles, etc.

Example An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

This will be explained with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a refrigerator main body, which has an opening/closing door 2.3 for closing the opening of the freezer compartment or the ice-making compartment on the upper front surface, and an opening/closing door 2.3 for closing the front opening of the refrigerator compartment 4 on the upper front surface. θ is the outer panel of the door. 7 is the inner panel of the door. 8 is a heat insulating material. 9 is a door-pocket that stores the BO)/l/ term. The bottom surface of the door-pocket 9 has a floor surface extending approximately 10' (1%) toward the door inner plate 7 with respect to the floor surface. 10 is formed integrally with the door inner plate 7 that supports the bottom surface of the door-pocket 9. 11 is a door-pocket mounting device attached to the inner panel of the door. 12 is a pivot shaft attached to the lower side of the opening/closing door 6.

The operation of the refrigerator door shelf device configured as described above will be explained below with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.

The opening/closing door 6 is rotatably supported by a pivot shaft 12. Reference numeral 13 shows the state in which the opening/closing door 6 is viewed and heard in the forward direction. When closing the opening/closing door 6 from this state B13, the force F when closing the opening/closing door 5 collides with the refrigerator compartment 4 and is canceled out.
(Door - The door stored in the pocket 9) / 14 is the state when there is no opening/closing operation. ) The bottle 14 stored in the door-pocket 9 tries to move to the bottle 16 state (double-dashed line) due to inertia, but by tilting the bottom of the door-pocket 9 toward the door inner plate, the force F2 is reduced. This force cancels the inertial force of the bottles, and the bottle 16 of bottle-4
This will eliminate the fluctuation in

As described above, according to this embodiment, the door-pocket 9 of the opening/closing door 6 having the pivot shaft attached to the lower side is provided with a bottom surface that is inclined with the inner plate side of the door facing down with respect to the floor surface. As a result, the pendulum-like swing of bottles can be eliminated, and the noise of collisions between bottles, door pockets, and bottles, breakage, damage, and collision noise between bottles, etc., can be alleviated. .

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention provides a door-pocket of an opening/closing door having a pivot shaft attached to the lower side with a bottom surface inclined with respect to the floor surface. It can eliminate swaying and collision noise, damage, and breakage between bottle necks and door pockets and shelves.

It is possible to reduce the sound of collisions between bottles.
