The present invention relates to a shelf for a refrigerator, and more particularly, to a shelf for a refrigerator having an improved structure that can be slidably mounted on a bracket provided in the refrigerator to support the shelf, and can also be fixedly mounted to the bracket. .

In general, the refrigerator has at least one shelf (2) on which the article can be placed to efficiently use the space of the refrigerating compartment (1), as shown schematically in FIG. It is used by mounting to the bracket (4) coupled to the support member (3).

Conventionally, a shelf of a type used by mounting on a bracket has the same structure as the shelf itself for supporting an item for storage in a refrigerator, but the structure of the shelf has to be manufactured differently depending on whether the bracket is fixed or slid from the bracket. However, there was a limitation that a fixed shelf could not be used as a slide as needed.

In addition, the shelf of the type mounted on the bead formed on the inside of the refrigerator was limited in that it can not be used by mounting on the bracket in accordance with the specifications of the shelf provided in the refrigerator can not be easily dedicated and mounted.

Therefore, the present invention solves the disadvantage that the fixed and slide type mutually ineligible in the shelf mounted on the above-described conventional bracket, not only can be dedicated to the fixed and slide shelf mutually, but also mounted on the bead of the inner It is an object of the present invention to provide a shelf of an improved structure for use.

Refrigerator shelf according to the present invention for achieving the above object is a refrigerator shelf mounted on a bracket fixed to the support member of the refrigerator, the brackets on both sides are fixed to each other by two connecting members provided on the front and rear sides It is coupled to be maintained at intervals, the upper end of each bracket is formed with a flange bent inward, the shelf is made by assembling a glass plate disposed between the upper frame and the lower frame, inside the bottom of both sides of the lower frame The bracket of the bracket is inserted into the gap between the flange which protrudes downward and is bent outward and the bottom of the lower frame so that the shelf is mounted on the bracket.

On the bent flange of the lower frame, one side is cut at two front and rear sides and bent downward to form a stopper of the bracket, and the front stopper contacts the rear surface of the connecting member of the front side of the bracket so that the shelf is moved forward with respect to the bracket. It can not be moved and can be fixedly mounted.

In addition, the front connecting member for connecting the brackets are placed on the upper side so that the stopper of the front side is pressed to allow the slide movement so that the shelf is pulled forward from the bracket, the rear stopper is caught by the front connecting member of the bracket to It may be arranged to prevent further withdrawal.

The shelf is preferably configured such that grooves are formed on the bottom of the lower frame at regular intervals so as to smoothly slide on the flange of the bracket, thereby reducing resistance due to friction with the flange of the bracket.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings showing an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail the present invention.

2 to 5, the shelf 10 according to the present invention is shown fixedly mounted to the bracket 20. The bracket 20 is formed to be attached to the support member (3) which is provided on the inside of the refrigerator shown in Figure 1 is formed with the projections 21 on the rear side, the brackets on both sides are provided on the front and rear The two connecting members 22 and 23 are coupled to be maintained at a predetermined interval from each other, and the flange 24 bent inward is formed at the upper end of each bracket as shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 8.

The shelf 10 of the present invention mounted on the bracket is made by assembling and arranging the glass plate 13 between the upper frame 11 and the lower frame 12, and protrudes downward on both bottom surfaces of the upper frame to the outside direction. And a locking portion 32 bent to form an upper portion, and a flange 14 protruded upward from the corner portions at both sides of the lower frame 12 to be inserted in between the bottom of the upper frame and the locking portion 32 to be assembled. do.

The bottom surface of both sides of the lower frame 12 is formed with a flange 15 protruding downward from the inside to be bent outward, and the bracket 20 is formed in a gap between the bottom surface of the lower frame and the bent flange 15. The flange 24 is inserted and the shelf is mounted to the bracket.

The bent flange 15 of the lower frame 12 has one side cut at two front and rear sides, and is bent downwardly as shown in FIG. 5 to form a stopper 16.

The shelf 10 as described above is mounted to the flange 24 of the bracket 20, in which case the stopper 16 on the front side as shown in Figure 5 in the case of a stationary type in which the shelf is held fixed relative to the bracket. ) Is in contact with the rear surface of the connecting member 22 on the front side of the bracket 20 to prevent the shelf from moving forward (from the figure to the left).

6 to 8 show the structure in which the shelf 10 slides forward with respect to the bracket 20 and is mounted to be pulled out, in which case the bracket 10 itself has no structural change at all. Only the fixed position of the front connecting member 22 connecting the stoppers is moved backward as shown in FIG. 6 than in the case of the fixed shelf shown in FIG. 5, that is, the connecting member 22 is disposed above the stopper and the stopper is disposed. (16) is arranged to be pressed down so that the stopper function by the stopper can not be exhibited.

In this state, the user can pull out the shelf to easily pull out the object on the shelf and pull it out as shown in FIG. 7, wherein the rear stopper 17 is caught by the front connecting member 22 of the bracket 20 and no longer. Since it is not pulled out, there is no fear that the shelf will come off the bracket.

When the user pulls out the shelf, puts or removes the article on the shelf, and pushes it backwards again, the connecting member 22 of the bracket 20 is in contact with the inclined surface behind the front stopper 16 and is disposed elastically. ) Is pressed and returned to the state arranged in the refrigerator as shown in FIG. 6 without any resistance.

At this time, as shown in the side view shown in Figure 4 so that the shelf 10 can slide smoothly on the flange 24 of the bracket 20, the groove 18 is formed at a predetermined interval on the bottom surface of the lower frame 12 As a result, the frictional resistance is reduced when the shelf is pulled out so that the shelf slides smoothly.

As described above, the shelf structure of the present invention can be used in a fixed manner in which the shelf is fixed to the bracket by changing only the position of the front connecting member of the bracket or in a sliding manner in which the shelf can be slid out with respect to the bracket. do.

In addition, the above-described shelf 10 of the present invention has been described as being mounted to the bracket in the present embodiments, the structure of the shelf 10 itself of the present invention is mounted on the bead formed on the inside of the refrigerator without assembly to the bracket You can easily use it.

According to the present invention, the glass plate is assembled to be arranged between the upper frame and the lower frame, and the flange of the bracket is mounted between the bottom of the lower frame 12 and the flange formed protruding downward from the bottom, and the lower frame of the Depending on the position between the front stopper formed on the flange and the front connection member of the bracket, the shelf can be used as a fixed or slide type, so that the shelf manufacturing cost can be reduced compared to the manufacture of the shelf separately. It is very easy to assemble.
