Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to the improvement of a door shelf device that stores bottles or canned goods on the inner panel of a refrigerator door, and the storage shelf can easily accommodate items on the high and low sides depending on the purpose. It is something.

This invention will be explained in detail with reference to the illustrated embodiments below.
1 is a refrigerator door, 2 is an inner plate of the door, and bank portions 3 are integrally formed on both sides thereof.

4 is a foamed insulation material filled between the door inner panel 2 and outer panel 5;
Reference numeral 6 denotes a lower storage shelf which is removably attached to the lower part between both banks 3 of the inner panel of the door and stores relatively tall items. Reference numeral 7 designates a lower storage shelf for storing relatively tall items. This is an upper storage shelf for storing.

This upper storage shelf is divided into two chambers by a partition wall 8, and the bottom surface of one of the storage chambers is formed by a lid 10 which can be opened and closed from the bottom surface about a shaft 9 as a fulcrum.

The lid body 10 has a cross-sectional shape, and a locking protrusion 11 is integrally formed at its free end.

Reference numeral 12 denotes an operating lever rotatably supported on the rear wall 13 of the upper storage shelf 7, and the lower end thereof has a locking protrusion 11 for the lid.
A retaining portion 14 that engages with the housing is integrally formed.

Reference numeral 15 denotes a mirror hinge provided on this engaging portion, which is made of bend-resistant polypropylene or the like, and its dogleg-shaped protruding portion 16
The tip is elastically brought into contact with one side of the rear wall 13.

The upper part of the operating lever 12 is made to protrude from the rear wall 13, and by tilting this lever forward as shown in FIG. returns to its normal position.

Reference numeral 17 is a stopper provided on the back wall of the lower storage shelf 6 corresponding to the lid 10, that is, the door inner plate 2, so that when the lid 10 is opened downward, it comes into contact with the locking protrusion 11 and locks. It has become.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained. Normally, the bottom of the upper storage shelf 7 is closed with a lid 10 to store relatively short items such as canned goods.

When it becomes necessary to store tall bottles etc. on this shelf, an operating lever 1 protruding from the rear wall 13 of the upper storage shelf is used.
2 toward you, the lid body 10 disengages from the engaging part 14, rotates downward by its own weight around the shaft 9, and the locking protrusion 11 of the lid body moves into the door as shown in FIG. Since it comes into contact with a stopper 17 formed on the plate and forms an inclined surface, it is possible to easily accommodate relatively tall objects such as bottles.

Further, the operating lever 12 returns to its normal position when the external force from a finger or the like is removed.

When using the upper storage shelf 7 as an energizing tank, the lid body 10
If the protrusion 11 with the lid and the engaging portion 14 are formed with slopes by pushing upward, the fitting can be easily achieved.

Since this invention is constructed as described above, the upper storage shelf can be used as a multi-purpose shelf that can be used to store items such as bottles and cassettes depending on the size of the back.

Furthermore, since the lid forming the bottom surface of the storage shelf is formed into an L-shape, it is possible to form an inclined surface and a bottom portion when it is rotated downward.

Furthermore, since the retaining portion and the elastic protruding portion are integrally molded on the operating lever, the number of parts can be reduced and an inexpensive shelf device can be provided.
