Description

Description

The present invention relates to a refrigeration device that comprises a bottle holder that is placed on shelves and simplifies bottle protection.

There are various solutions regarding the storage of bottles containing food and beverages, so as not to occupy too much internal space of the refrigeration device. Basically, these solutions are bottle holders of various shapes, which are placed above and below the shelves and share the internal volume of the refrigeration unit.

In the prior art, US patent 2005939 describes a bottle holder for a wire structure that has a cellular base with a protrusion above the neck of the bottle, which has a shape suitable for the shape of the bottle, and which is placed under the wire shelf and mounted on a wire shelf mounted inside the refrigerator.

In the prior art, US Patent 2008315 describes a storage structure in which one or more bottles are housed. This design is fixed under a shelf installed inside the refrigeration unit and does not have a top surface.

In the prior art, U.S. Patent 2018,002 also discloses a bottle holder that is placed under a shelf mounted in a refrigerator. A distinctive feature of this bottle holder is that it is formed by one or more compartments in the form such that both the case and the neck of the bottle, especially wine bottles, can be located. This bottle holder is also preferably made of wire.

However, in the prior art, German patent 19821823 describes a design that is independent of the shelf inside the refrigeration device. This design is a bottle holder with a wire structure and with a cellular base, which is fixed in the grooves and protrusions located on the side walls on which shelves are installed inside the refrigeration device, which also matches the shape of the bottle; It is also used separately from other shelves. This bottle holder is slanted inside the refrigeration unit.

In the case where the bottle holders described in these patents are not used inside the refrigeration device, the remaining bottle holders take up too much space inside the refrigeration device. For this reason, only bottle holders are described which do not occupy too much space inside the refrigerator, and in which only one bottle can be placed.

U.S. Pat. No. 2,666,613 describes a bottle holder that has the shape of a cylindrical ring fixed to one of the strings of a wire shelf, in a shape that spans the bottle.

In the prior art, German patent 2653303 also discloses a hook-shaped bottle holder that is fixed to one of the strings forming a shelf of a wire structure.

In the present state of the art, British Patent 2,158,705 describes a bottle holder that only stores one bottle and which is made of polypropylene and secured under a shelf.

Another method developed for securing these bottle holders, in which only their supporting surfaces can be fixed on the shelves of the wire structure, on shelves with a closed base, is aimed at creating a bottle holder, which is made by extending the handle, which is fixed to the shelf from the side of the shelf , and its additional bend towards the bottom of the shelf. This type of bottle holder is described in US Pat. No. 5,323,917. In the present invention described in this patent, the bottle holder has a structure that has a supporting surface with a closed base and is inclined.

In German patent 19821824, similarly to the above-mentioned American patent, what is described is an invention of a bottle holder by extending the handle, which is fixed to the shelf from the side of the shelf and, in addition, bending it towards the bottom of the shelf. This bottle holder has a supporting surface with a cellular base and is made of wire.

In the prior art, German patent 19949238, however, discloses a bottle holder for a wire structure that is fixed mainly under the shelves fixed to the door of the refrigeration device and in a shape such that it can move along the base of the shelf.

In the prior art, German patent 19631374 describes a bottle holder that provides horizontal storage of bottle-shaped objects. In accordance with this patent, a clamping device is described which is placed under a shelf and a bottle holder, which is folded and moved in two positions and secured to this clamping device. This bottle holder can fold up and tilt toward the bottom of the shelf when not in use, thus ensuring efficient use of the internal volume of the refrigeration unit.

In the prior art, British Patent No. 2174891 describes a bottle holder that is secured under a shelf of a refrigeration device and allows horizontal storage of especially wine bottles. This bottle holder contains a support frame and an opening in this frame.

The aim of the present invention is to provide a refrigeration device that includes a bottle holder that provides storage and maintenance of bottles and, in addition, takes up less space.

The refrigeration device (1) contains a housing in which products intended for cooling are placed, a door that provides access to the inside from the outside, one or more shelves (2), which are installed inside at different heights, one or more sets (3) of rails which are fixed on the inner wall of the case or shelf (2) on a horizontal or vertical axis and which are parallel to each other, one or more bottle holders (5), which are located on a set of (3) guides and provide storage of one utylki when moving over a set (3) of the guides provided that their horizontal or vertical axis intersect, and provides storage for more bottles when they do not overlap, so much space remains free.

The rail kit (3) comprises at least one rail (4) located nearby. The rail kit (3) can be secured or detached if desired.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the rail set (3) comprises one or more rails (4) arranged side by side. In one alternative embodiment of the present invention, in the rail set (3), in which the rails are located opposite each other, at least one rail is fixed at the front end and at least one at the rear end of the shelf (2). In addition, these rail sets (3) can be moved parallel to each other.

The specified holder (5) contains a sliding guide (7) that provides fastening on a set of (3) guides, a hole (9) with a width that allows unhindered storage of the bottle in horizontal or vertical position, and a frame (8) that defines the boundaries of this hole (9 ) (Fig. 1).

The sliding guide (7) preferably has the shape of a “T” profile and passes through a set (3) of guides located on a shelf (2) or the inner wall of the housing. By passing the sliding guide (7) through the guide set (3), the movement of one or more bottle holders (5) is provided along the guide set (3). The frame (8) can be made integrally with the sliding guide (7) or can be separately attached to the sliding guide (7). In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the frame (8) is formed by bending it in a curve and securing both open ends in the upper part of the sliding guide (7).

In one application, the bottle holder (5) comprises one bottle holder (6) that attaches to at least one set (3) of rails located on a shelf (2) or inner wall of the housing. The bottle holder (5) contains one bottle holder (6) that runs along one of the guides (4) contained in the guide kit (3), and the bottle is placed on the bottle holder (5) so that it is on the hook inside the frame (3) and the center of gravity of the bottle is in the plane of the frame (8). Therefore, the bottle can be stored horizontally under the shelf (2) of the refrigeration device (1). For this embodiment, since the center of gravity of each bottle is different, the contents and storage of the bottle inside the bottle holder (5) creates some problems. The bottle holder (5), which is attached to the rail set (3), moves along the rail set (3). When the holder (5) for the bottle is not used, more than one holder (5) for the bottle, which is mounted on different guides (4) of the set (3) of guides, is moved along the guides (4) and aligned by combining their horizontal and vertical axes.

In the practical implementation of the present invention, ensuring the maintenance and storage of the bottle in such a way that it is prevented from falling, and in which the holder (5) for the bottle is used, which is only one holder (6) for the bottle; a connector (10), which preferably has a structure made of wire, is fixed on the frame (8) of the fastener (6) for the bottle, mounted on the guide (4) with a sliding guide (7), and on its upper part there is more than one supporting element (11), which fully or partially cover protruding from the outside of the frame (8) of the part of the bottle, which passes through the frame (8) and is suspended on this frame (8). According to this embodiment, storing and maintaining the bottle by preventing it from falling is achieved when the bottle is supported by maintaining the center of gravity of the bottle, which is suspended on the frame (8), between the frame (8) and the support member (11). Preferably, the connector (10) is fixed on the outer surface of the frame (8) and in order to combine more than one bottle holder (5) by combining their horizontal and vertical axes, each of the connectors (10) is fixed at different points along the frame (8) (figure 3).

In another embodiment of the present invention, the bottle holder (5) is at least two bottle holders (6) that are mounted oppositely on two sets (3) of guides that are placed opposite each other on a shelf (2) or the inner wall of the housing . In an embodiment designed to support and store the bottle, the bottle holder (5) is two independent bottle holders (6), which are located opposite on the rail set (3). Therefore, both the front and rear of the bottle located in the bottle holder (5) are supported by bottle mounts (6), which are located on both the rear and the front. In this embodiment, since the center of gravity of the bottle is held between the bottle mounts (6), the bottle can be stored securely. However, the movement of two bottle mounts (6), which are independent of each other and which are fixed on guides (4) located on the rear side and front side of the shelf (2), simultaneously and on the same axis, creates problems (figure 2) .

In the case where the holder (5) for the bottle is formed by two holders (6) for the bottle, to ensure the movement of the two fasteners (6) for the bottle evenly and along the same axis, the frames (8) of the fasteners (6) for the bottle, which are fixed opposite to different sets of guides (3) are connected to each other by means of a connector (10). In this case, when the bottle holder (6) located in the front is moved, the bottle holder (6) located in the back is also moved (FIG. 4).

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the frames (8) of said bottle mounts (6), which are located opposite each other on different sets (3) of guides, are connected to each other via a connector (10), where more than one support element is located above them ( eleven). Therefore, the bottle is supported at more than one point, and storage and placement of this bottle in the bottle holder (5) is ensured without falling out of it (FIG. 5).

One or more bottle holders (5) are attached to the guides (4) of the guide kit (3), and when these bottle holders (5) mounted on different guides (4) of the guide kit (3) are not used, they are aligned by the combination of their horizontal and vertical axes when moving them along these guides (4) and do not occupy too much space inside the refrigeration device (1) (Fig.6, 7, 8a, 8b and 9). To prevent the horizontal axis from crossing the bottle holders (5), they contain connectors (10), these connectors (10) are fixed on different parts of the frame (8). Therefore, when combining bottle holders (5) by combining their horizontal and vertical axes, the connectors do not intersect.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, two sets (3) of guides comprise three guides (4) arranged side by side, mounted parallel to each other in the front and rear parts of the shelf (2). On each of the guides (4) of the set (3) of guides, a bottle holder (5) is fixed, containing two fasteners (6) for the bottle, which are connected to each other using connectors (10) containing supporting elements (11). When combining these bottle holders (5), the connector (10), which is located on the bottle holder (5) near the inner wall of the housing, is located on the side of the frame (8) of this bottle holder (5), which is located near the inner wall of the housing. On the other hand, connectors (10) attached to other bottle holders (5), which will be combined with these bottle holders (5), are fixed on the side of the frame (8) of the bottle holders (5), which faces in the middle internal volume of the refrigeration device (1). In addition, support elements (11) located on all connectors (10) are fixed at separate points on the connector (10) so that they do not intersect with bottle holders (5) when the bottle holders (5) are aligned. Therefore, the connectors (10) and the support elements (11) will not intersect with each other when the bottle holders (5) are aligned (Fig. 6, 7, 8a and 8b).

By means of movable bottle holders (5) housed in a refrigeration device (1) that is the subject of the present invention, bottle holders (5) that are installed on the same line can support the bottles. In addition, since the bottle holders (5), when they are installed on the same line, occupy the same space as one container, the efficient use of the internal space of the refrigeration device (1) is ensured.
