JPH0735469A - Shelf for electric refrigerator - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a shelf wherein the change of a position may be effected without dropping refrigerated goods, since refrigerated goods are slipped down while the shelf is raised to be pulled out, since a slip preventing stopper is arranged to the shelf of an electric refrigerator so that the shelf is drawn out to handle the refrigerated goods. CONSTITUTION:The shelf of an electric refrigerator is provided with shelf arms 13 arranged on the right and left sides of a refrigerator body and a shelf guide 7 having first and second grooves sliding over a slide axle 14 formed to one end of the shelf arm 13. The shelf arm 13 is inserted in the shelf guide 7, a lock shaft 15 is formed to the other end of the shelf arm 13, and a shelf 5 having a flange in which a notch is formed is mounted. In a state that the shelf arm 13 is inserted in the slide axle 14, the shelf 5 is positioned at the upper stage, the shelf arm 13 is lowered from a notch formed in the shelf guide 7 as the shelf 5 is moved frontward. This operation causes positioning of the shelf 5 at a lower stage.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electric refrigerator, and more particularly to a shelf provided in an inner box of a refrigerator.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 4, a conventional electric refrigerator shelf has a synthetic resin inner box 2 incorporated in a refrigerator body 1.
Simultaneously with the molding, the inner box guide 4 having the shelf stoppers 3 was integrally formed on the side surface of the inner box 2, and the plurality of shelves 5 having the stopper claws formed at both inner corners were inserted.
The inner box guides 4 are formed in a larger number than the number of mounting stages of the shelves 5 so that they can be replaced so as to change the position of the shelves 5. Do not fall out even if you pull out the shelf 5 when putting in and taking out refrigerated items,
The stopper claws of the shelf are locked to the shelf stopper 3 during the withdrawal. When pulling out the shelf 5 from the inner box guide 4 in order to change the shelf position, it is necessary to pull out the shelf 5 while pulling the shelf 5 forward and upward in order to release the engagement between the shelf stopper 3 and the stopper claw. In this case, the refrigerated product on the shelf 5 slips down, so that the shelf 5 cannot be pulled out with the refrigerated product placed on the shelf 5.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide a shelf for an electric refrigerator having a shelf guide capable of changing the position of the refrigerated product on the shelf without slipping off. .

[0004]

According to the present invention, a partition wall having a slit in the center is formed at the center of the upper and lower surfaces of a cylinder having a substantially C-shaped cross section on the left and right side surfaces of the inner box of the main body. A groove is provided, a lower side surface and a part of a bottom surface of the first groove inside the refrigerator are cut out, and a rear end surface of the cutout is bent downward to fix a shelf guide formed by forming an arm guide, In the first groove of the same shelf guide, a shelf arm integrally formed with a sliding shaft having a disk at one end and a locking shaft at the back surface of the other end is slidable in the second groove on the inner box side. After inserting the moving shafts respectively, a shelf flange is attached to the locking shafts. Further, a shelf receiver that connects the locking shafts of the shelf arms inserted in the front and rear of the shelf guide is provided, and the flange of the shelf is placed on the shelf guide. It is characterized in that an arm stopper is inserted at the front end. Further, the inner box of the main body is provided with a partition in the front-rear direction, and the shelf guide and the shelf arm are mounted in the left and right chambers formed by the partition, and a half-width shelf is placed.

[0005]

[Operation] The shelf is located at the upper stage with the shelf arm provided with the shelf fixed to the locking shaft inside the shelf guide provided on the side of the inner box of the refrigerator, and the shelf arm moves from the notch while moving the shelf forward. The shelves will be located in the lower row when the is lowered.

[0006]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment according to the present invention is shown in FIGS.
Will be described. On the left and right sides of the inner box 2 of the refrigerator body 1,
A partition wall having the same slit 8 as the gap between the upper surface and the lower surface of the cylinder and the side surface from the central portion of the cylinder is provided, and the first groove 9 is provided inside the refrigerator.
And a second groove 10 is formed on the inner box side, two lower surfaces of the first groove 9 are notched, and a rear end face of the notch 11 is bent downward to form an arm guide 12. There are multiple sticks to each other. A strip-shaped plate whose both ends are semicircular, a sliding shaft 14 having a disc at one end, and a locking shaft 15 at the other end are integrally formed. The sliding shaft 14 is provided in the second groove 10 of the shelf guide 7.
The shelf arm 13 is inserted into the first groove 9. A flange 16 is formed on the outer circumference of the shelf 5, and both sides of the flange 16 of the shelf 5 facing the inner box 2 are cut out to provide bearings, and the bearings are mounted on the opposing locking shafts 15. The shelf arm 13 is moved forward in the first groove 9 and rotated to stand down.
Is held by the arm guide 12 so as not to swing backward. An arm stopper 17 is inserted in the shelf guide 7 in order to prevent the shelf arm 13 sliding in the shelf guide 7 from moving forward regardless of the upper and lower positions of the shelf 5.

The procedure for moving the shelf 5 mounted on the upper stage to the lower stage will now be described. First, the arm stoppers 17 of the left and right shelf guides 7 are shifted forward, and the shelf arm 13 is rotated while pulling the shelf 5 forward. After moving to the lower position by movement, the arm stopper 17 is inserted to complete the movement. Further, a shelf receiver (not shown) is provided by being connected to the locking shafts 15 of the front and rear shelf arms 13, and the flange 5 of the shelf 5 is covered with the shelf receiver without notches to mount the shelf 5. Further, a half-width shelf is attached by providing a partition inside the main body inner box 2 and providing a shelf guide 7 and a shelf arm 13 on the side surface of the middle partition and the inner box 2.

[0008]

By using the shelf having the shelf guide and the shelf arm according to the present invention, the shelf can be easily changed without moving the refrigerated goods on the shelf.
