Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a storage container (storage device) installed inside a door provided on the front of a refrigerator main body so as to be openable and closable.

Generally, inside the refrigerator door, there are multiple shelves configured to make the most of the narrow space, and various items such as tall bottles and short cans are placed on these shelves as appropriate. Several configurations have been proposed to prevent the upper shelf from becoming an obstruction when storing tall items on the lower shelf.

For example, there are those in which the upper shelf is rotatable so that it can be turned upside down, and those in which the upper shelf is removable.

However, in both of these cases, the upper shelf is not used effectively, and only when tall items are stored on the lower shelf.Furthermore, the above-mentioned items are only stored on the lower shelf, and the items are not stored on the upper shelf. There seemed to be no consideration given to how the items should be disposed of.

Therefore, the present invention was developed to provide a storage device in which the lower shelf and the upper shelf can be used in various ways when items are stored on the lower shelf and across the upper shelf.
One embodiment will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a refrigerator body, and a door 2 is pivotally attached to the front opening of the refrigerator so that it can be opened and closed.

This door 2 consists of a door outer panel 3, a door inner panel 4 made of synthetic resin, a heat insulator (not shown), etc. The door inner panel 4 has left and right bulges to support each shelf, which will be described later. Frames 5 and 6 are integrally formed.

An egg shelf 7 is provided on the uppermost stage between the bulging frames 5 and 6, and a bottle shelf 8 is provided on the lowermost stage.
In between, small box-like shelves 9, 9 are supported at the upper part and a large box-like shelf 10 is supported at the lower part at a predetermined interval.

That is, the small box-like shelves 9, 9 each have an open top and a rear surface, and are composed of a front wall 9a, left and right side walls 9b, 9c, and a bottom wall 9d. Engagement grooves 9e and 9f are formed that extend a predetermined length toward the rear surface.

These small box-like shelves 9, 9 are formed in each frame 5, 6.11 between the left and right bulging frames 5.6 and a frame 11 formed between these frames 5, 6. Engagement groove 9 in engagement protrusion 12
e and 9f are engaged to support the front end of the shelf 9, and the rear end is placed on and supported by the locking protrusion 13.

Note that this shelf 9 can be attached or detached as desired by utilizing the elasticity of each frame 5, 6, 11.

On the other hand, the large box-shaped shelf 10 is open only on the top surface, and has a front wall 10a and left and right side walls 10b.

10c1 is hollowed out from the bottom wall 10d and the back wall 10e, and left and right side walls 10b and 10c are supported and fixed to left and right bulging frames 5 and 6.

The length of the bottom wall 10d in the depth direction is designed to be sufficiently larger than the depth of the small box shelf 9, and the width in the left and right direction is approximately twice the width of the small box shelf 9.

10f is a partition wall that projects a predetermined length toward the front wall 10a at the center of the back wall 10e, and this partition wall 10f as well as the left and right side walls 10b.

10c has an engaging protrusion 14 extending upward from the bottom wall 10d.
are formed, and can be engaged with the engagement grooves 9e and 9f of the small box shelf 9.

That is, usually each box-shaped shelf 9, 9, 1 as shown in FIGS.
0 is arranged vertically in parallel and each item is stored,
When storing items such as tall beer bottles that reach the upper small box shelf 9 on the lower large box shelf 10, the small box shelf 9 is removed and the upper opening is opened as a large box shelf as shown in FIG. 10 back wall 1
Engagement grooves 9e and 9f with the back opening facing upward
is engaged with the engagement protrusion 14.

At this time, the front wall 1 of the large box-like shelf 10 on the bottom wall 9d of the small box-like shelf 9
The tall items mentioned above can be stored in the space A formed between the bottom wall 9d and the back wall 10e, and the items stored in the small box-like shelf 9 can be stored in the space B formed between the bottom wall 9d and the back wall 10e. can be stored in.

As is clear from the above description, the present invention allows tall items to be stored on a large box-like shelf by detachably removing the small box-like shelf located above the large box-like shelf.

Moreover, articles can be stored in compartments by engaging the locking grooves with the engagement protrusions of the large box-like shelf with the opening side of the small box-like shelf facing upward.
