Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Technical Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a shelf partitioning device for partitioning a shelf in order to store foods in an orderly manner, for example in a refrigerator.

Technical background of the invention This type of shelf partition for refrigerators is generally made of plastic, and the configuration for attaching it to the shelf is such that the engaging part consisting of a pair of protrusions extends straight downward and the space between the two protrusions is The space between the lower ends is narrowed, and both protrusions are fitted into and engaged with the filaments forming the shelf, and the narrow part at the lower end prevents the shelf from coming off.

Problems with the Background Art The gap size of the narrow lower end portion between both protruding pieces is set to be considerably smaller than the diameter size of the filament of the shelf in order to prevent accidental slipping off. For this reason, when the shelf partition is attached or removed, the protruding pieces undergo large elastic deformations, but if they are installed in the refrigerator and the temperature becomes low, they will harden and the elastic deformability of the protruding pieces will deteriorate, causing the deformation when attaching and detaching. There is a risk of breakage.

Purpose of the invention The object of the invention is to provide a shelf partition without the risk of breakage of the projecting pieces even when the partition is cured at a low temperature.

Summary of the invention The present invention forms two engaging parts on the lower surface of a base that is placed on a shelf, one of the engaging parts is constituted by a substantially L-shaped projecting piece, and this projecting piece is attached to the shelf. The remaining engaging portion is made up of two protrusions projecting downward, and the filament of the shelf is fitted between the two protrusions, and The lower end of the wire-fitting passage between both protrusions is narrowed and the middle is curved, so that the amount of elastic deformation of the protrusions can be reduced. It is something to do.

Embodiment of the Invention An embodiment of the invention will be described below with reference to the drawings as applied to a refrigerator. First, in FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a shelf installed in the freezer compartment 2 inside the refrigerator, and as shown in FIG. It is attached and configured. Reference numeral 5 denotes a partition according to the present invention, which is made of plastic and has a partition plate portion 7 erected integrally with a base portion 6 in the shape of an elongated rectangular plate. Reference numeral 8 denotes an engaging portion that projects integrally on the lower surface of the front end of the base portion 6. This engaging portion 8 consists of two projecting pieces 9 and 10, one of which extends straight downward, and its lower end A claw 9a is provided protruding from the inner surface of the part. The other projecting piece 10 extends downward and is bent in the middle so as to be inclined outward. Then, the claw 9a of the protruding piece 9 and the oblique part 10a of the protruding piece 10 make a curved path between both the protruding pieces 9 and 10, that is, the middle of the line fitting passage 11 (indicated by an arrow for convenience). The width of the lower end of the filament insertion passage 11 is made slightly smaller than the diameter of the filament 4. Reference numeral 12 designates a hooking piece integrally provided on the lower surface of the rear end of the base 6, which is connected to the engaging portion 8.
It constitutes a protruding piece of an engaging portion separate from the above, and is approximately L-shaped, with the lower surface portion being approximately parallel to the base portion 6.

To attach the partition 5 configured as described above to the shelf 1, first attach the hooking piece 12 at the rear end to the rear filament 4.
and rotate it downward around the filament 4 hooked in the hook piece 12, and as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. The lower end is pressed downward against the filament 4 in front. Then, both protrusions 9 and 10 are elastically deformed and the lower end narrow portion 11a expands, whereby the filament 4 relatively enters the filament insertion passage 11 and reaches its upper end.
As described above, the partition 5 is attached to the shelf 1 removably and slidably in the lateral direction. The partition 5 installed in this way divides the top of the shelf 1 into left and right sections, so that it can be used when there are not many stored foods, etc.
By placing the food in one of the divided areas, it is possible to store the food in an orderly manner while leaving an unplaced space for the food to be placed later.

Therefore, even if an upward force is applied to the partition 5 for some reason, the rear end will not come off because the hook 12 is hooked to the filament 4, and the front end will not come off the engagement part. Since the filament insertion passage 11 of No. 8 has a curved path in the middle, the top surface of the claw 9a at the bottom of the curve catches the filament 4, preventing it from coming off, and eventually the partition tool 5 There is no risk of injury if it accidentally comes off shelf 1. To remove the partition 5 from the shelf 1, slightly lift the front end of the partition 5, move it forward (to the left in FIGS. 3 and 4), and lift it further. , 10 are pulled out from the filament insertion passage 11 with elastic deformation. Thereafter, the partition 5 can be removed by pushing the partition 5 backward and removing the hook 12 from the filament 4. In this way, the prevention of inadvertent removal of the partition 5 is achieved by the curved portion of the filament insertion passage 11, and the narrow portion 11a at the lower end only serves as an auxiliary function. The gap size of the narrow part 11a is 4 lines.
It is sufficient if the diameter is slightly smaller than the diameter of Therefore, when the filament 4 passes through the narrow portion 11a, both protruding pieces 9,
The amount of elastic deformation of No. 10 is small, and there is no risk of breakage even if it is cured at a low temperature.

Moreover, the hooking piece 12 constituting one engaging part is hooked on the filament 4, and the filament 4 is fitted between the two protruding pieces 9 and 10 constituting the remaining one engaging part 8. Therefore, even if there is a gap in the front-rear direction (horizontal direction in FIG. 3) between the hook piece 12 side and the filament 4 and the base 6 can move in the front-rear direction, the two projecting pieces The filament 4 fitted between the 9 and 10 sides acts to restrict movement in the front and back direction, so the partition 5 does not actually rattle in the front and back direction. This means that even if there is a gap between the hooking piece 12 and the filament 4, the partition 5 can be attached without any play; Even if the distance between 4 and the filament 4 to be fitted between the two protrusions 9 and 10 is different, in other words, the partition 5 can be attached to another shelf where the attachment pitch of the filament 4 is different. and is highly versatile.

Effects of the Invention As explained above, the present invention provides an engaging portion consisting of a substantially L-shaped protrusion that is hooked on the striations of the shelf on the lower surface of the base to be placed on the shelf, and a shelf on the lower surface of the base. An engaging portion consisting of two protruding pieces into which the filament is inserted is provided protrudingly, and the lower end of the filament insertion passage between both protruding pieces of this engaging portion is made narrow, and the middle is curved. Since the structure is such that it can be prevented from coming off at the curved part, there is no need to make the gap size at the narrow part at the lower end so small compared to the diameter of the filament, and therefore it is possible to prevent it from coming off at the curved part. Since the amount of elastic deformation of the protruding piece is small, there is no risk of breakage even if it is cured at a low temperature. Moreover, in order to attach it to a shelf, first hook the roughly L-shaped protrusion that makes up one of the engaging parts onto the wire, and in this state, connect the line between the two protruding pieces that make up the other engaging part. The attachment/detachment operation is extremely simple, as the strips can be simply pressed downward to fit them in, and can be removed by performing the reverse procedure. Furthermore, when installed on a shelf, even if there is a gap between the substantially L-shaped protruding side of one engaging part and the filament, so that the base can move laterally, the other engaging part cannot move. It is possible to prevent the base from wobbling on the two protruding sides constituting the engaging part, and therefore, a filament on which a substantially L-shaped protrusion is hooked, and a filament fitted between the two protrusions. It can be installed without any struggle even if the distance between the two is different, and it has excellent effects such as being highly versatile.
