Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a shelf device for a refrigerator or the like, and particularly to a shelf device suitable for variable shelf area.

[Background of the invention]

Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 7, in this type of equipment, a front door 50 is constructed by passing a plurality of wires 50C between a front crosspiece 50a and a rear shelf 50b, and welding the intersection points of each wire.

60 were crossed to constitute a shelf device. In such a device, welding between the crosspiece and the wire is performed with the front shelf 50 and the rear shelf 60 intersecting, resulting in very poor workability. Furthermore, when coating the surfaces after welding both parts, it is necessary to use spacers, etc. to prevent the crossed crosspieces and wires from touching each other, resulting in very poor workability and resulting in high costs. It had a point. Incidentally, related devices of this type include, for example, the Utility Model Application No. 54-13
No. 8061, Utility Model Application Publication No. 54-61363, and the like.

- [Object of the invention] The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems.The front shelf and the rear shelf are separately welded and coated, and then the two are combined to form an integrated shelf device. To provide an inexpensive shelf device with good assemblability, in which a front shelf is slid back and forth using a shelf holder, and is freely rotatable with a rotating shaft formed integrally with the shelf holder.

[Summary of the invention]

The shelf supports are press-fitted and locked onto both ends of the front and rear bars of the rear shelf, which is composed of a front bar, multiple wires, and a rear bar, and the wires at both ends of the rear bar and both left and right ends of the front shelf. A shelf device for a refrigerator, characterized in that a guide plate for supporting and guiding the front shelf and a guide groove for supporting both ends of the rear crosspiece of the front shelf and allowing the front shelf to slide back and forth are integrally formed with the shelf support.

[Embodiments of the invention]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6. Reference numeral 1 denotes a front shelf, which is composed of a front crosspiece 1a, a rear crosspiece 1b, and a wire IC, and the intersection points of each are spot welded.

2 is a rear shelf, and like the front shelf 1, it is composed of a front crosspiece 2a, a rear crosspiece 2b, and a wire 2C, and the intersection points of each are spot welded. 3 is a shelf support, which is a front crosspiece 2a and a rear crosspiece 2b of the rear shelf 2.
holes 3a and 3b into which both ends of the front shelf 1 and the rear crosspiece 1 of the front shelf 1 are fitted
It consists of a guide groove 3c for sliding both ends of the front shelf 1b back and forth, and a guide plate 3d for supporting and guiding the wire IC and rear crosspiece 1b at both left and right ends of the front shelf 1 when sliding the front shelf 1 back and forth. There is. 4 is a decorative frame, which is the front frame 1a of the front shelf 1.
It is fitted to the

To assemble the shelving device of the present invention composed of the above parts, the front shelf 1 and the rear shelf 2 are spot welded and coated separately, and then the front shelf 1 is placed below the rear shelf 2. The wires 1c and the rear crosspiece 1b at both left and right ends of the side piece 3 are disposed above the guide plate 3d of the side piece 3, and the front crosspiece 2 of the rear shelf 2 is
By press-fitting the holes 3a and 3b of the shelf supports into the shelves 1 and 2b, a shelf device in which the front shelf 1 and the rear shelf 2 are integrated is completed.

Next, the state in which the bookshelf device is assembled into the refrigerator body will be explained using FIGS. 1 and 4. 10 is the refrigerator body, 11
is a space inside the refrigerator, which is formed by the refrigerator main body 10. 10a is a shelf supporting rib, on which the front shelf 1 is normally placed. A plurality of shelf networks 12 are installed in the refrigerator to store food. 1
3 is a shelf device, which is divided into a front shelf 1 and a rear shelf 2 and assembled together as described above, so that the front shelf 1 can be slid back and forth. In the state shown in FIG. 3, when the front shelf 1 of the shelving device 13 is fully pulled out, it has the same shelf area as the ordinary shelf network 12, and there are relatively low-height foods on each shelf network. It is in a state where it is stored. In this state, the rear crosspiece 1b of the front shelf 1 is at position A at the front end of the guide groove 3c of the shelf support 3, as shown in FIG. A stopper 3e that does not move easily is provided.This stopper 30 is integrally formed with the side piece 3 by injection molding or the like, and is flexible and strong (the front shelf 1
When pressed, the stopper 3e deforms and the front shelf 1
is designed to slide backwards.

FIG. 4 shows a state in which the front shelf 1 is slid rearward, and relatively tall foods are stored in the front of the shelf device 13. The major feature of the present invention in this state is that the rear of the guide groove of the shelf support 3 opens downward, as shown in FIG.

With this structure, when the front shelf 1 is slid backwards,
Since the rear part of the front shelf 1 is installed at an angle with the rear part located below and further back than the rear crosspiece 2b of the rear shelf 2, the depth dimension Y of the front shelf 1 must be larger than the depth dimension X of the rear shelf 2. Now it is possible to pull out the front shelf 1 as shown in Figure 3.
The shelf area can be maximized when used as a regular shelf network. In addition, the shelf support 3 has an integrally formed rotating shaft 3f, and a bearing (not shown) for supporting and rotating the rotating shaft 3f is provided on the inner wall of the refrigerator main body 10, etc. When combined with the rear shelf 2, as shown in Fig. 5, it can be rotated backwards to accommodate even more tall food items.

〔Effect of the invention〕

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the front shelf 1 and the rear shelf 2 can be welded and coated separately, so welding and coating workability is further improved compared to conventional shelves. do. In addition, the front shelf 1 and the rear shelf 2 can be combined by simply fitting the shelf supports 3 to form a shelf device 13 that combines the front shelf 1 and the rear shelf 2, and the number of parts is minimal. Good workability. Furthermore, the shelf support 3 has a guide plate 3d,
Since the guide groove 3C is provided, there is no need for a special rail etc. for sliding the front shelf 1 back and forth, and the positioning of the shelf network is also possible by the function of the stopper 3e formed integrally with the shelf support 3. be. Further, since the guide groove 3C is open downward at the rear, the front shelf 1 having seven dimensions larger than the depth X of the rear shelf 2 can be accommodated, and the shelf area can be maximized.
