Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention is a rotating container that is installed at the bottom of a refrigerator for the purpose of storing vegetables, etc., and has a raised part for a handle on the front edge. This relates to a refrigerator equipped with a cold air isolating plate made of a glass plate or the like suspended in a refrigerator.

The structure of a conventional refrigerator of this type will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. Reference numeral 1 denotes a refrigerator main body, which forms an interior 2. As shown in FIG.

3 is a rotary container installed at the bottom of the refrigerator interior for the purpose of storing vegetables, etc., and has a handle upright portion 3a on the front edge; 4 is a shaft of the rotary container; usually, this shaft 4 is the first A in the diagram
located near the section.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a cold air separating plate that closes the upper opening of the rotary container, and is made of a glass plate or the like and is suspended from ribs 8 provided on the inner box 6.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a notch in the cold air separator, and the cutout 7 is used to prevent the handle upright portion 3a from hitting the cold air separator and being prevented from rotating when the container 3a is rotated.

In the case of a rotating container of such a refrigerator, there was a defect in that the cold air cooled by the cooler through the notch of the cold air separator took away moisture from the vegetables and the like stored in the container.

In order to improve the above-mentioned defect, the present invention has a notch in the handle upright part near the axis of the rotating container so that the handle upright part does not come into contact with the cold air separator when the container is rotated.

The details of the present invention will be explained below with reference to an embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. Reference numeral 13 denotes a rotating container having a handle upright portion 13a, and this rotating container 13 is the same as that described in the conventional example shown in FIG. It is installed at the bottom of the refrigerator.

Reference numeral 15 denotes a cold air separator, which is also suspended from ribs provided on the inner box or the like, as in the conventional example, and closes the upper opening of the rotary container.

14 is the axis of the rotating container.

The rotating container rotates about the shaft 14 as shown in FIG. 4.If the force continues as it is, the handle upright will hit the cold air separator and be prevented from rotating, as in the conventional case.
In the present invention, the cold air separating plate 13a for the handle is notched near the axis as shown in FIG.

17 indicates the notch. As explained above, the present invention
The front edge of the rotating container installed at the bottom of the refrigerator for storing vegetables, etc. is raised up as a handle, and the top opening of the rotating container, excluding the raised part, is made of a glass plate, etc., suspended by the ribs of the inner box. In a refrigerator covered with a cold air separator, the raised part near the axis of the rotating container is cut out to prevent the raised part from coming into contact with the cold air separator when the container rotates. The top opening of the container can be completely closed by glass.

Therefore, the vegetables etc. in the rotating container will never lose their freshness.
