Abstract

The present invention relates to a shelf for a refrigerator, comprising: a frame (11) molded to have an open center, a glass panel (12), and a support for inserting and fixing the glass panel, wherein the frame (11) is provided. At the front end of the bottom), the front support part 15 is horizontally spaced downward from the bottom of the frame to support the front end of the glass panel 12, and at the rear end of the bottom of the frame to support the rear end of the glass panel. A locking projection 16 is formed to protrude vertically from the bottom of the frame, and side supports 13 on both sides of the frame are spaced apart from the frame by the thickness of the glass panel on both sides of the bottom of the frame to support both ends of the glass panel. Protruding from the lower surface of the frame is spaced apart from the bottom of the frame to form grooves 20 for receiving both ends of the glass panel. Since the glass panel is configured to be inserted into the groove from the front of the frame to be assembled, the glass panel can be easily inserted into the frame to assemble the glass panel.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a shelf for a refrigerator, and more particularly, to a shelf for a refrigerator having a structure that is mounted on a frame using glass as a shelf body and which is easily manufactured.

In general, a refrigerator is used to install a shelf in order to efficiently utilize the internal space of the refrigerating compartment and to store food on the refrigerator. In such a shelf, glass is also used as a main body on which food is put.

At this time, as a means for fixing the glass to the frame, there is a number, but as disclosed in Korean Patent No. 199397 to arrange the glass panel (2) on the lower frame (1) and the upper frame (3) on it to ultrasonic welding method By means of integrating the upper and lower frames (1, 3).

However, as described in the above patent, the process of assembling the glass panel by ultrasonic welding between the lower panel and the upper panel takes an excessive time and requires a fusion facility, resulting in an increase in manufacturing cost.

Therefore, the present invention is a refrigerator for an improved structure that can be easily assembled at low cost in order to solve the problem of the long manufacturing time and manufacturing cost increase in manufacturing the shelf by fixing the glass panel to the frame by the conventional fusion-type described above To provide a shelf.

Refrigerator shelf for achieving the above object has a frame formed so that the center is opened, and a glass panel and a support for inserting and fixing the glass panel, the front end of the bottom of the frame supports the front end of the glass panel The front support part is formed horizontally spaced downward from the bottom of the frame so that the rear end of the frame is formed with a locking projection protruding vertically from the bottom of the frame to support the rear end of the glass panel. The side prevention paper part is spaced apart from the frame by the thickness of the glass panel at both sides of the bottom of the frame so as to support the groove, and a groove is formed to receive both ends of the glass panel. do.

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

Shelf for refrigerator 10 according to the present invention shown in perspective in Figures 2 and 3 has a frame 11, a glass panel 12 and the glass panel is formed to be fixed to the center opening with a plastic material for fixing by inserting The side prevention paper part 13 is included.

At the front end of the bottom of the frame 11, the front support part 15 is horizontally spaced downward from the frame to support the front end of the glass panel 12, and at the rear end of the bottom, the part of FIG. As can be seen in the cross-sectional view, the locking projection 16 is formed to protrude vertically from the bottom of the frame to support the rear end of the glass panel.

In addition, the side prevention paper portion 13 for supporting both ends of the glass panel is spaced apart from the frame by the thickness of the glass panel on both sides of the bottom of the frame protrudes inward to receive the groove 20 for receiving both sides of the glass panel of the frame It is formed integrally in the front and rear direction, the side prevention paper portion is formed with a plurality of ribs 21 in the width direction to increase the rigidity, the ribs are formed integrally formed when forming the frame.

In this way, the support stiffness of the entire frame is increased with respect to the load of the object placed on the shelf by the side preventive paper portions formed at both ends of the frame.

The bottom surface 22 of the frame on which the glass panel is seated is coated with an adhesive or a common sealing material is provided between the grooves of the front and side supports or between the frame and the glass plate so that liquid spills on the glass panel between the glass panel and the frame. It is desirable to prevent the liquid from falling down through the gap of.

In this way, the glass panel is inserted into the groove formed by the front and side support parts formed on the bottom of the frame and the bottom of the frame by using the elastic deformation of the frame molded from the back of the bottom of the frame, and by the elastic restoring force of the frame. The glass panel is firmly supported and mounted by the rear locking jaw so that the assembly of the glass panel is very simple and the assembly efficiency of the glass shelf is improved.

On both sides of the rear side of the frame, a stopper 25 shown upward in FIG. 3 is formed to protrude, and the stopper is a front and rear bead in which the frame is formed so as to project normally on the inside of the refrigerator as schematically shown in FIG. 5. It is inserted in the gap 27 formed in 26 so that the shelf can be stably arranged in the bead.

As can be seen in Figure 6 of the glass shelf of the present invention, the screw bosses 30 for screwing are formed on the front and rear sides of the frame, and the brackets 32 can be fixed to the bottoms of the side preventive paper portions 13 on both sides thereof. In the bracket, a conventionally provided six people 33 may be slidably mounted and used.

According to the present invention, the refrigerator shelf 10 has a groove 20 formed by side preventive paper portions 13 formed on both sides of the bottom surface of the frame 11, which is opened at the center thereof, and is horizontal to the front bottom surface of the frame. The front panel supporting portion 15 is formed by inserting the glass panels from both sides of the glass panel from the rear to be disposed in the groove so that the glass panels can be easily mounted on the frame. There is an advantage, and there is an effect that can reduce the production cost compared to the manufacture of shelves by fusion.
