Benefits of technology
[0010] Another object of the invention is to provide a shelf fixing device which is easy and convenient to install and uninstall the shelf clip.
[0011] Still another object of the invention is to provide a shelf fixing device which is immune to rusting damage.
[0033] The advantages of the present invention are: (1) the shelf fixing device is convenient to install and uninstall since just rotating the clip will be enough to attach to the wall or detach it from the wall; (2) the shelf fixing device is strong against the harsh and moist environment inside the refrigerator; (3) the shelf fixing device is mechanically strong enough to support a shelf board fully loaded.
Problems solved by technology
Under the universal gravitation of Isaac Newton, however, a shelf cannot stay in the air for itself.
But, the isolated and cooled space is a harsh place for mechanical parts.
Another more serious problem resides in the mechanism to attach the shelf clip to the internal wall of the refrigerator.
Also, it is tough against a human's muscular effort to install it on the internal wall of the refrigerator.

A shelf fixing device for attaching a shelf to an internal wall of a refrigerator is provided. The shelf fixing device includes a vertical supporting plate, a horizontal supporting plate, a stopping plate, and hooking device. The hooking device includes a cylinder part with first and second ends, a plurality of hooking gap, and a predetermined number of protrudes extending substantially perpendicularly and radially from the side surface the cylinder part. The first end of the cylinder part is attached to the second wall of the vertical supporting plate. The protrude is aligned with the second end of the cylinder part. The hooking gap is defined by the protrude, the side of the cylinder part, and the second wall of the vertical supporting plate. The shelf clip is adapted to detachably attach the shelf clip to the internal wall of the refrigerator. The shelf clip is made of plastic.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a shelf fixing device for a refrigerator. More particularly, this invention relates to a shelf clip to support a shelf between the internal walls of the refrigerator. [0002] A refrigerator can be defined as a device that isolates a certain volume of space from the vast environmental space and cools down the temperature in the isolated volume of space lower than the environmental space by means of a well-known heat pump. [0003] Cooled down or not, the isolated volume of space is a chunk of extended empty volume. In order to make the most of the cool space, compartment of space according to the various needs is desired. A traditional and convenient way of comparting space is to use shelves. [0004] Under the universal gravitation of Isaac Newton, however, a shelf cannot stay in the air for itself. A shelf needs some mechanical supports extended from the confining wall of the isolated space. The most well-known form of ...
