<First Embodiment>
A first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view showing the refrigerator 1 according to the first embodiment. FIG. 2 is a side view showing the refrigerator 1 according to this embodiment, and shows a state in which the refrigerator compartment door 13 is opened.

Refrigerator 1 includes a heat insulating box 10 whose front is open. The outer surface of the heat insulation box 10 is formed by the outer box 9, and the back surface is formed by the inner box (not shown). The outer box 9 is made of a metal plate such as an iron plate and is formed in a box shape having an open front surface. The inner box is made of a resin molded product, and is formed by dividing a plurality of cooling chambers whose front surfaces are open. Between the outer box 9 and the inner box, a foam heat insulating material such as urethane foam is filled.

The refrigerator compartment 3 is arranged at the upper part of the heat insulation box 10, and the freezer compartments 4 and 6 are arranged below the refrigerator compartment 3. A vegetable compartment 7 is arranged below the freezer compartment 6, and an ice making room 5 is arranged beside the freezer compartment 4. The front surface of the refrigerator compartment 3 is opened and closed by a refrigerator compartment door (open / close door) 13. Similarly, each cooling chamber is provided with an opening / closing door that opens and closes. A door pocket 14 is provided on the back surface of the refrigerator compartment door 13, and an egg storage container 30 is stored inside the door pocket 14. The egg E is held in the egg storage container 30.

FIG. 3 is a top view of the egg storage container 30. FIG. 4 is a side view of the egg storage container 30 and shows a state where the tube container T is placed. The egg storage container 30 is a box of a resin molded product, and has a holding surface 41 having a plurality of holes 51 open on the upper surface of the egg storage part 30. Legs 47 that stand downward are provided on the periphery of the holding surface 41. When the leg 47 is brought into contact with the installation surface, the holding surface 41 having the hole 51 is arranged at a predetermined height H with respect to the installation surface. A chicken egg or chicken egg pack P can be inserted into each hole 51 to stably hold the chicken egg.

The tube container T is composed of a body portion 11 and a lid portion 12 for storing mayonnaise, ketchup and the like. The trunk portion 11 is made of a cylindrical soft material, and the inner diameter becomes smaller as the lid portion 12 is approached. For this reason, when the tube container T is inserted into the hole 51 in an inverted state, the periphery of the hole 51 comes into contact with the body 11. At this time, the hole portion 51 supports the body portion 11 and holds the tube container T in an inverted state.

The height H of the hole 51 from the installation surface is 57 mm or more. When the height H is less than 57 mm, depending on the shape of the body portion 11 of the tube container T, when a commercially available 500 g mayonnaise containing a tube container is inserted into the hole 51, the lid portion 12 and the installation surface come into contact with each other. At this time, a gap is generated between the outer peripheral surface of the body portion 11 and the inner peripheral surface of the hole portion 51. For this reason, the hole 51 cannot stably hold the tube container T in an inverted state. Note that a lower limit (40 mm) is defined for the inner diameter D of the hole 51 in order to stably hold the eggs. For this reason, it is not possible to reduce the gap between the outer peripheral surface of the body portion 11 and the inner peripheral surface of the hole portion 51 by forming the inner diameter D smaller than the lower limit value. Even in the case of the tube container T containing 300 g or 150 g, a gap is generated between the outer peripheral surface of the body portion 11 and the inner peripheral surface of the hole portion 51. However, these containers are shorter than the tube container T containing 500 g. For this reason, even if it tilts, it is supported by the hole 51 and the inverted state is stably maintained.

When the height H of the hole 51 from the installation surface is set to a height equal to or higher than a predetermined value, the lid 12 does not contact the installation surface. For this reason, the tube container T is hold | maintained at the hole 51 in the state lifted from the installation surface. At this time, the load of the contents is all applied to the peripheral edge of the hole 51. The body part 11 is made of a soft material, and the body part 11 bites into the periphery of the hole 51. Thereby, the tube container T is stably hold | maintained in an inverted state.

Also, the inner diameter D of the hole 51 may be 42 mm as an upper limit value for stably holding the chicken egg. At this time, the height H of the hole 51 from the installation surface is preferably 61 mm or more. Thereby, a commercially available mayonnaise containing 500 g of the tube container T can be inserted into the hole 51 having an inner diameter D of 42 mm and stably held in an inverted state.

The tube container T is filled with mayonnaise, ketchup or the like having high viscosity and low fluidity. For this reason, when the tube container T is held in an inverted state, the contents accumulate in the lid portion 12. Therefore, the contents can be easily squeezed out from the lid 12.

FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the holding surface 41, and the lower surface side of the periphery of the hole 51 is chamfered 48. Thereby, the trunk | drum 11 of the tube container T inserted in the hole 51 contact | abuts to the upper surface side of the periphery of the hole 51, and leaves | separates with respect to the lower surface side. The body 11 that bites into the hole 51 slightly protrudes in the radial direction below the contact position of the hole 51. For this reason, when extracting the tube container T, the protrusion part of the trunk | drum 11 is guided by the chamfering 48, the periphery of the hole 51 and the trunk | drum 11 are prevented from being caught, and it can extract smoothly.

Table 1 shows the result of evaluating the holding stability of the contents contained in the tube container T using the height H from the installation surface of the hole 51 as a parameter.

500 g of mayonnaise contained in a commercially available tube container was used as sample A, 350 g of mayonnaise was used as sample B, 500 g of ketchup was used as sample C, and 300 g of ketchup sample D was prepared. Next, samples A to D were inserted upside down into a hole 51 having an inner diameter D of 40 mm, and the stability of samples A to D was evaluated while changing the height H of the hole from the installation surface. The height H was evaluated at 57 mm, 54 mm, and 35 mm, respectively. Similarly, the samples A to D were inserted in an inverted state into the hole 51 having an inner diameter D of 42 mm, and the stability of the samples A to D was evaluated while changing the height H of the hole from the installation surface. The height H was evaluated at 61 mm, 58 mm, and 35 mm, respectively.

When the height H was 57 mm in the hole 51 having an inner diameter D of 40 mm, the samples A to D were stably held with the lid 12 away from the installation surface (◯). On the other hand, when the height H was 54 mm, the samples A and C were in an unstable state with the lid 12 contacting the installation surface (×). When the height H was 35 mm, the tube container could not be supported by the hole when the samples A to D were tilted. For this reason, the inverted state was in a very unstable state (×).

When the height H was 61 mm in the hole 51 having an inner diameter D of 42 mm, the samples A to D were stably held with the lid 12 away from the installation surface (◯). On the other hand, when the height H was 58 mm, the samples A and C were in an unstable state with the lid 12 in contact with the installation surface (×). When the height H was 35 mm, the tube container could not be supported by the hole when the samples A to D were tilted. For this reason, the inverted state was in a very unstable state (×).

According to this embodiment, in the egg storage container 30 having a plurality of holes 51 for holding the eggs E, the tube container T has an inner diameter D by providing the holes 51 at a height of 57 mm or more with respect to the installation surface. When the tube container T is inserted through the 40 mm hole 51, the tube container T is supported in a state where the tip is separated from the installation surface, and is stably held in an inverted state. Further, by installing the egg storage container 30 in the door pocket 14 provided on the back surface of the open / close door 13 of the refrigerator compartment 12, the mayonnaise, ketchup and the like contained in the tube container T can be efficiently and orderly stored in the egg storage container 30. be able to. Thereby, the effective space in the refrigerator compartment 3 or the door pocket 14 can be ensured.

Further, in the egg storage container 30 having a plurality of holes 51 for holding the eggs E, by providing the holes 51 at a height of 61 mm or more with respect to the installation surface, the tube container is formed in the holes 51 having an inner diameter D of 42 mm. Can be stably held in an inverted state.

Further, by forming the inner diameter of the hole 51 to be 40 mm or more and 42 mm or less, it is possible to stably hold the egg and stably hold the commercially available medium-diameter tube container T.
