Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a storing container used in a refrigerator in which some drinks such as canned beer, drinking water and juice or the like stored within the refrigerator can be loaded first or taken out first without expiring storage period and without deteriorating a cooling effect. SOLUTION: A rear surface 2 ranging from an upper and rear part of the main body of a container to its bottom part is curved. A partition plate 5 is installed at a middle stage of the main body of the container and it is slightly inclined toward its deep side. Due to this fact, a canned beer 6 placed on the partition plate 5 is naturally rolled down toward a deep side. The canned beer 6 reached to the deep side is guided by the curved surface of the rear surface 2 and moved to the lower stage. Since the bottom part 3 of the lower stage is slightly inclined from the deep side toward a user's side, the canned beer 6 moved to the lower stage rolls down to the user's side. The extreme end of the bottom part 3 is raised up to prevent the canned beer 6 from popping out of the released front surface and formed as a stopper 4, so that the canned beer 6 is stopped at the stopper 4.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a container for storing canned beer, canned drinking water, and canned juice stored in a refrigerator for cooling.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When storing canned beer, drinking water, juice, and the like in a refrigerator, the cans are arranged vertically on a partition plate installed in the refrigerator, or the cans are stored in a storage section on the back of the lid of the refrigerator. It is lined up. It is rare to store cans in two-tiered stacks. If you lay down the can, it rolls and is unstable,
Space is not available, and the cans are not laid sideways because they cannot be stacked in multiple layers.

[0003] When storing cans in a refrigerator, it is common practice to store them in tandem from the back to the front. When drinking, remove from the can in front. For this reason, when the cans are refilled, the cans are easily placed in the empty space in front and the cans in the back are difficult to take out, and thus tend to be left behind forever. This is because there is no storage container suitable for canned beer, drinking water, juice, etc. used in the refrigerator. I use it in the refrigerator as it is.

[0004]

The storage area of the refrigerator is limited, but if the refrigerator is well organized, the storage contents in the refrigerator can be increased. On the other hand, food has an expiration date, and it is not preferable to leave it in a refrigerator for a long time. However, conventionally, when storing foods in a refrigerator, they are arranged in tandem from the back to the front, and are taken out from the front when used. This is a particularly striking way to store and use the same food and brand. When refilling the food in the refrigerator, there is a method that moves the food in the back to the front and puts new food in the back, or when using the food, removes it while checking the one with the fastest shelf life in the back But,
During this time, since the refrigerator door is left open, the temperature inside the refrigerator rises. To solve these drawbacks, refrigerator manufacturers have made refrigerators thinner,
We are trying to cope with more partitions and storage boxes. However, the cooling effect of the refrigerator is enhanced by circulating cool air, so that the shape of the refrigerator, the use of the partition plate, and the method of using the storage box are limited in terms of thermal efficiency. It is not easy to buy a new refrigerator. It is also difficult to improve the refrigerator in use. Therefore, there is a demand for a storage container for a refrigerator that does not reduce the cooling effect and can be used in a first-in first-out manner.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to put beer, drinking water, juice and the like in a can in a refrigerator and to drink them in a cooling order, the present invention mainly comprises a front part and a large part of an upper part of the container body 1. Is opened, the back surface 2 is curved, and the bottom 3
The stopper 4 is formed by standing up the tip of. A partition plate 5 is provided in the middle stage of the container body 1. Taking canned beer as an example, if canned beer 6 is laid on its side and thrown in from the upper stage, canned beer 6 initially placed will be canned beer 6 placed later.
It is pushed by and rolls, and moves to the bottom of the lower tier via the curved part on the back. Furthermore, the canned beer 6 is pushed out to the lower front surface and stopped by the stopper 4 at the front end. Therefore, when the canned beer 6 at the front end is taken out, the next canned beer 6 rolls under its own weight and moves to the front end, so that the canned beer 6 that has been placed earlier can always be taken out. If the middle partition plate 5 and the bottom 3 are provided with a slope, the canned beer 6 placed in the upper row automatically rolls in front of the lower row.

[0006]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The container can be made of synthetic resin, metal, wood or the like, and the use condition in the container can be identified by using a transparent or translucent material.

[0007] The middle partition plate can be moved back and forth to accommodate various size cans.

[0008] In order to enhance the cooling effect, the container can be partially perforated, or the plate constituting the container can be made into an interdigital or grid-like shape.

[0009] A spring mechanism may be provided at the lower portion of the container body so that the spring operates to adjust the inclination of the bottom of the container as the number of cans in the container increases or decreases.

[0010] The container body may be provided with an adjusting function of increasing or decreasing the width, so that it can be adapted to various can height sizes.

An adjusting function for extending or contracting the depth of the container body can be added to correspond to the amount of cans to be stored.

[0012] A folding handle can be attached to the container body so that it can be carried.

An embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a refrigerator container according to the present invention. FIG.
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA of FIG. 1 when canned beer is put into a refrigerator container according to the present invention. Although the refrigerator container according to the present invention can be used for canned beer, drinking water, juice, and the like, the description of the embodiments typically uses canned beer. Most of the front and upper parts of the container body 1 are open, so that it is convenient to put or take out the canned beer 6. The back surface 2 extending from the upper rear to the bottom of the container body 1 is curved. A partition plate 5 is installed in the middle stage of the container body 1 and has a slight inclination toward the back. For this reason, the canned beer 6 placed on the partition plate 5
Rolls naturally toward the back. The canned beer 6 reaching the back is guided by the curvature of the back surface 2 and moves to the lower stage. Since the bottom 3 of the lower stage has a slight slope from the back to the front, the canned beer 6 moved to the lower stage rolls toward the front. Since the end of the bottom 3 is raised and used as the stopper 4 so that the canned beer 6 does not jump out of the open front, the canned beer 6 stops at the stopper 4. In this manner, the canned beer 6 placed in front of the upper stage can be taken out in front of the lower stage.

When the number of canned beers 6 that fills the container body 1 is filled, taken out of the lower part of the container every time it is drunk, and the replenished canned beer 6 is placed in the upper part, the canned beer 6 in the lower part becomes one. It was the coldest because it was kept in the refrigerator for the longest time. Since the canned beer 6 in front of the upper row was last placed in the refrigerator, the cooling method is insufficient. As described above, by using the refrigerator container according to the present invention, the coldest canned beer 6 can be automatically taken out.

[0015]

By using the refrigerator container according to the present invention, canned beer always put in the refrigerator first,
Drinking water, juice, etc. can be drunk. Further, the inside of the refrigerator can be organized and the space of the refrigerator can be used efficiently. Furthermore, it is no longer necessary to keep a product that has expired or has expired in the refrigerator.
