Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a refrigerator door, and more particularly, to a device for preventing bottles stored in a door pocket from falling.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, FIG.
A door 21 as shown in FIG. Door 2
Reference numeral 1 denotes a box-shaped outer surface plate 22 made of a steel plate, a resin inner surface plate 23 having a peripheral edge abutted against a rear flange of the outer surface plate 22, and a foamed heat insulating material filled between these 22 to 23. The inner surface plate 23 is provided with a plurality of door pockets 25, 26, 27. The upper door pockets 25 and 26 are suitable for accommodating small items, and the lower door pocket 27 can accommodate beer bottles, PET bottles and the like. The door pocket 2
At the front edge of 7, there is provided a support (bottle stopper) 28 that is used to prevent falling of stored items.
Can be moved laterally according to the size and number of stored items.

[0003]

However, even if the door pocket 27 is provided with the support 28 as described above, the objects to be accommodated therein are not always large ones such as beer bottles and PET bottles but also juices and the like. Small vials may be accommodated. If such a vial is accommodated,
Although the lateral movement of the stored items can be restricted by the existing support body 28, it does not help prevent the movement in the front-rear direction, and there is a problem that the stored items fall when the door is opened and closed. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a refrigerator door that solves the above problems.

[0004]

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and a door pocket for accommodating bottles is provided on an inner face plate of a door which is openably and closably provided at a front opening of a refrigerator body. According to the present invention, a guard capable of moving and holding one side or both sides in the front-rear direction is provided between the left and right side walls of the door pocket.

[0005]

With the above construction, one or both sides of the guard provided between the left and right side walls of the door pocket are moved and held in the front-rear direction in accordance with the size and number of the items stored in the door pocket. Since it is possible, it is possible to safely store large objects such as beer bottles and PET bottles to other small objects without tipping over.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 shows a schematic structure of a door that is pivotally supported at the front opening of the refrigerator body so as to be openable and closable.
Is an outer surface plate 2 made of a steel plate, an inner surface plate 3 made of resin, a gasket 4 attached to the inner surface plate 3 and in close contact with the front flange of the refrigerator body, and foam filled between the outer surface plate 2 and the inner surface plate 3. It consists of heat insulating material. The inner surface plate 3 is provided with door pockets 5 and 6 for small items, and a door pocket 7 that can accommodate large items such as beer bottles and PET bottles and small items without falling. The door pocket 7 has a bottom portion 8 and left and right side walls 9 and 10 that are integrated with each other.
2 are provided.

The guard 11 includes a guard body 13 as shown in FIG. 2, a locking body 14 which can be extended in a state of being slidably covered on the left and right sides of the guard body 13, and a locking body 14 of the locking body 14. A spring body 15 is provided between the guard body 13 and the locking body 14 in order to facilitate the extension, and a handle (knob) 1 is provided on the left and right sides of the front surface of the guard body 13.
6. Support legs 17 are provided at the bottom. Spring body 15
May have a spiral shape as shown in FIG. 2 (A) or a plate-like shape as shown in FIG. 2 (B). The support legs 17 are for stabilizing the position of the guard body 13 and for reducing the inclination in the front-rear direction.
As shown in FIG. 5, the slit 19 is formed in the bottom of the door pocket 7. With the configuration described above, for example, the size (diameter) of the stored item 20 as shown in FIG.
When the number is different or the number is small, the fall of the stored item 20 can be prevented by changing the position of the guard 11.

[0008]

According to the door pocket as described above, the fall of the stored item can be prevented by changing the position of the guard according to the size and number of the stored item, so that the usability is improved.
