Refrigerator with an adjustable compartment base

Abstract

The invention relates to a refrigerating appliance comprising a housing (2, 3) that encloses an interior space. According to the invention, a shelf (1) can be mounted at different heights on walls (2) of the housing by means of brackets (8) that are each joined to one of the walls (2) in a manner that enables them to pivot about a first axis (A1) and joined to the shelf (1) in a manner that enables them to pivot about a second axis (A2) that is offset with regard to the first axis (A1).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a refrigerating device such as a refrigerator or a freezer, and more particularly to a conveniently usable division of such a refrigerating inner chamber by means of one or more shelves. Background technique [0002] Usually, the height adjustability of such a shelf is realized in such a way that when forming the inner container of such a freezer and refrigerator, a plurality of horizontal grooves are formed at different heights on the side wall of the inner container, and the shelf can be moved into these grooves. [0003] However, the flexibility of compartment division achievable with solutions obtained in the past is limited. Therefore, it is generally not possible to adjust the tilted position of the shelf, but such tilted position may be required for quick removal and loading of items, especially when multiple identical items are placed on a shelf for serial removal. [0004] Another disadvantage of this known so...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, the flexibility of compartmentalization achievable with solutions obtained in the past is limited

As a result, it is generally not possible to adjust the tilted position of the shelves, but may be required for quick removal and loading of items, especially when multiple identical items are placed on one shelf for sequential removal

[0004] Another disadvantage of this known solution is that it is practically impossible to correct the shelf position as required when there are items on the shelf

Often, especially when the user has to store a large quantity of purchased food in the refrigerator, the problem arises that it is only at the end of the filling process that there is not enough space in the refrigerator to discover that the current position of the shelves is not optimal. Placing existing cooling items, one of the slots is not high enough, and the adjacent slot is too high, so it is not being used properly

In this state it is difficult, sometimes impossible, to extract a loaded shelf and re-hung it higher or lower

In most freezer constructions, the insufficient maximum opening angle of the door limits the possibility of extracting the shelf in exactly horizontal orientation, and once it is possible to extract it, there is of course the risk of cooling items falling
