Abstract

The invention relates to a refrigerator having a trough, in which compartment areas have been positioned to provide compartments. A property of the refrigerator is that, on the basis of the existing connection points, a support plate (2.1) is disposed on the compartment area (1) from below and a movable egg drawer (2) is fastened inside the attached support plate, which contains numerous egg slots (2.2.1) and an egg compartment (2.2), in which egg cartons (3) can be positioned and stored directly.

Description

DRAWERED EGG COMPARTMENT IN COOLING DEVICES

The invention relates to egg compartments in refrigerators.

STATE OF THE ART

In the tub of the refrigerator are several compartments for storing food, the compartments are preferably attached separated by glass surfaces. The compartments are placed at certain heights to accommodate as much food as possible in a variety of sizes. However, since the compartment height is not always optimally utilized, often dead spaces remain at a certain height.

Various designs have been designed to use these dead spaces. For example, in a preferred embodiment, a plastic bottle compartment for storing canned beverages is mounted to the glass plate from below. In the existing versions such compartments for eggs are not provided.

In conventional refrigerators such an egg tray is not included. On the other hand, as usual, the egg compartments are attached to the door of the refrigerator and the eggs must be put individually from the egg package in the designated places. This design has two drawbacks: firstly, such a compartment can only be mounted in a limited width due to the attachment to the refrigerator door (in principle, at most 2 rows are provided for eggs). Thus, the storage number of eggs is severely limited. Another problem is the impractical nature of conventional designs. To explain in more detail: This time-consuming work is reluctantly carried out by many persons and only because of their urgency and becomes a problem especially for large quantities of eggs, if the eggs are not needed at this time. After all, it is an egg compartment that is expected in the technical field, that solves the problem of conventional egg compartments and at the same time uses the mentioned dead space.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a refrigerator with a new egg compartment, which can overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages and brings in the relevant technical area new advantages.

The main object of this invention is an egg compartment in which egg boxes can be stored directly and in which the eggs no longer have to be individually placed.

Another goal is the optimal use of the interior of the tub by the mentioned egg compartments, wherein in the lost storage space of the tub of the refrigerator eggs can be stored.

In accordance with the objects set forth above and below, which will become apparent from the detailed explanations, the object of this invention is to provide a refrigerating apparatus in which a tray and in the said tray tray compartments are arranged. The property of the refrigerator is that due to the joints contained from below a support plate is attached to the compartment and in the support plate at least a movable egg drawer with at least one egg compartment is mounted, in which the egg boxes can be positioned directly and in which numerous egg slots are included ,

In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, said support plate is provided with connection points to ensure from above the connection to the front and rear parts of the compartment.

The construction and additional elements of the invention, as well as all advantages, will become more apparent from the detailed description given below with reference to the drawings made. It is therefore necessary to consult the figures and provide detailed explanations of the drawings in the assessment.

DETAILED EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

In this detailed explanation, the invention will be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, for ease of illustration of the subject matter. Hereinafter, after the detailed description, a model of the invention has been conceived as a wire version.

The egg drawer (2) of this invention is mounted in the tub of the refrigerator from below to the compartment surfaces (not shown), wherein the compartment surfaces in the tub are arranged one above the other and basically made of glass. As can be seen in Figures 1 and 2, the egg drawer (2) is shown in its widest configuration with a support plate (2.1) fixed to the compartment (1) and inside the support plate (2.1) with the movable egg compartment (2.2).

Figure 3 shows the attachment of the support plate (2.1) by included front and rear connection points (2.1.2) mutually at two points at the front and rear of the compartment (1). Figures 4, 5 and 6 show the rear connection points (2.1.2) as inverted U-shapes at the rear two ends of the support plate as extensions. The front joint (2.1.1) extends along the front end portion of the compartment surface (1) and has a reverse cross section in L-shape. On the other hand extend along the support plate (2.1) on both sides of upper and lower rods (2.1.4) as rails of the drawer. The distance between the upper bars (2.1.3) is shorter than the lower bars (2.1.4).

Figures 4, 5 and 6 also show the respective egg compartment (2.2) made of wire and the arrangement of numerous egg slots (2.2.1) on the bottom part. On both sides of the egg compartment (2.2) gripper molds (2.2.3) are arranged with U-shaped oblique cuts, said gripper forms form (2.2.3) as a lower horizontal extension depending on a support surface. After that, in the connecting row, the egg compartment (2.2) is positioned from both sides of the gripper molds (2.2.3) to the upper bar of the carrier plate and thus in the form of a drawer. By means of the mentioned support extension (2.2.2), the falling out of the egg compartment (2.2) from the support plate (2.1) is prevented. Figure 2 shows that due to the egg slots (2.2.1) arranged on the egg drawer (2) the eggs can be placed individually or an egg box (3) directly into the egg compartment (2.2). Thus, a practical handling is guaranteed and it can be stored in a tray numerous eggs at the same time.

In another embodiment, the egg drawer (2) may be made of plastic or other material instead of plastic wire, which is a partially or fully enclosed chamber.

The scope of the invention is set forth in the appended claims and is in no way limited to the descriptions which serve to explain the present invention by way of example. It is to be understood that those skilled in the art, given the detailed explanations and drawings, without departing from the gist of the invention, may suggest similar embodiments.
