DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a refrigerator in which a refrigerator is housed and installed in a cabinet body, and a grid panel is provided in a front opening of a space formed between an upper end surface of the refrigerator and an inner top surface of the cabinet body. The present invention relates to an attached refrigerator storage cabinet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, a refrigerator 2 is housed in a box-shaped cabinet body 1 opened forward, and the upper end surface 3 of the refrigerator 2 and the inner top surface of the cabinet body 1 are installed. There is known a refrigerator storage cabinet in which a grid panel 7 is attached to a front opening 6 of a space 5 formed between the refrigerator storage cabinet 4 and the refrigerator storage cabinet.

In this case, the cabinet body 1 is formed in a box shape which is opened forward by the side plates 11, the back plate 20 and the top plate 21 on both sides, and a storage portion 13 which is opened forward is formed at an upper end portion thereof. ing. The storage portion 13 is formed by arranging and attaching a bottom plate 14 at an interval below the top plate 21.
Is the inner top surface 4 of the cabinet main body 1 and a space 5 is formed below the lower surface. In addition, storage section 13
An openable and closable door plate 22 is attached to the front opening of.

The refrigerator 2 is installed directly on the floor 23, and the cabinet body 1 is installed on the floor 23 so as to surround the refrigerator 2, and the back plate 20 of the cabinet body 1 is Being close. At that time, the refrigerator 2
25 is installed so as to be substantially flush with the upper lattice panel 7 and the door plate 22. Further, waste heat is generated at the rear portion 26 of the refrigerator 2, and the waste heat rises to the space 5 and is discharged from the space 5 to the front through the grid panel 7 without any problem.

[0005] The lattice panel 7 is made of wood, and is formed by integrating a plurality of horizontal rails 16 arranged vertically in a vertical back rail 29 which is attached and fixed to the back side of both ends. I have. On the back surface of the vertical back rail 29, a mounting bracket 31 having a substantially L-shaped cross section is provided with a screw 28.
One side 32 of the mounting bracket 31 is protruded rearward, and screws 28 are respectively inserted into mounting holes 33 formed above and below the one side 32, and 28 are screwed into the inner surfaces of the side plates 11 of the cabinet body 1, respectively, so that both end portions of the lattice panel 7 are attached to the inner surfaces of the side plates 11 on both sides of the cabinet body 1 via the same mounting brackets 31, respectively.

[0006]

However, according to the above-mentioned conventional technique, the screw 28 is inserted into the mounting hole 33 of the mounting bracket 31 and screwed into the cabinet body 1 on the back side of the lattice panel 7. Since the work of mounting the lattice panel 7 is performed, after the refrigerator 2 is stored and installed in the cabinet main body 1, the refrigerator 2 is obstructed and the work of mounting the lattice panel 7 cannot be performed. In addition, it is difficult to remove the lattice panel 7 after the attachment, and it is difficult to clean the upper end surface 3 of the refrigerator 2 and to perform maintenance work by removing the refrigerator 2 from the inside of the cabinet body 1. Was.
