Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to an improved configuration of a storage container that is placed at an appropriate location in a refrigerated room, and two compartments are selected by sliding a partition plate in the left-right direction according to the type and size of stored items. It can be formed and removed as needed to accommodate large storage items.

The details will be explained below based on the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a container body, which is placed at a suitable location in the refrigerating chamber of a well-known refrigerator body (not shown).

This arrangement is achieved, for example, by placing the left and right support portions 2 of the container body 1 on ribs provided on the inside wall of the container.

With this arrangement, the container main body 1 can be taken in and out of the refrigerator compartment in the front and rear directions by grasping the handle 3.

In addition, the inside of the container body 1 is maintained at a slightly lower temperature than the refrigerator compartment by cold air branched from the cold air outlet that cools the refrigerator compartment.
For example, it is kept at the optimum temperature for storing meat and fresh fish.

On the inner surface of the bottom wall IA of the container body 1, there is a rib (hereinafter referred to as an engagement protrusion) 4 that extends in the left-right direction and slightly projects from the bottom wall IA.
4. 4...) are provided, and this engagement protrusion 4
, 4 . . . are used for guiding the later-described movement of the partition plate 5 in the left-right direction and for reinforcing the bottom wall 1A to prevent it from bending when stored articles are placed thereon.

The length of the partition plate 5 is long enough to reach the front and rear walls of the interior of the container body 1, and walls 5A are provided at the front end, lower end, and rear end to prevent the partition plate 5 from falling inside the room. .

An engaging portion 6 is provided which is continuous with the rear end wall 5A and engages with the upper end edge of the rear wall of the container body 1, thereby minimizing left and right wobbling of the partition plate 5 in the front-rear direction.

Further, on the lower surface of the lower end wall 5A' of the partition plate 5, there are a plurality of engagement grooves 7 which match the engagement protrusions 4, 4, . . . on the upper surface of the bottom wall IA of the container body 1. 7. 7... are provided, so that when the partition plate 5 slides in the left-right direction in the interior of the container body 1, the engagement grooves 7, 7... and the engagement protrusions 4,
4, 4, etc. mesh with each other to make sliding smooth.

If the partition plate 5 is not needed, it can be removed from the interior of the container body 1 and large storage items can be stored freely.

As described above, the present invention has a container main body with an upward opening, which has a plurality of engagement protrusions extending in the left-right direction on the bottom surface, and a plurality of engagement grooves that match the engagement protrusions on the lower end surface. Since the refrigerator is divided into two compartments on the left and right using a partition plate that can be slid in the left and right directions, the user of the refrigerator can store different types of stored items (for example, meat and fresh fish) in each compartment for easy organization. Not only is this easier, but if consideration is given to storing old stored items, for example, in the left chamber and new stored items in the right chamber, it is less likely that the storage period will be too long and the items will spoil.

Furthermore, the partition plate is provided with an engaging groove and a retaining portion that engage with the engaging protrusion on the soil surface of the bottom wall of the container body and the upper edge of the rear wall, respectively, so that two chambers of any size can be created. It can be formed and easily changed, and can be removed and used without causing sideways movement or falling in the room.
