Benefits of technology

"The present invention is a system for vertically adjusting a shelf by fixing it in a form-locking and friction-type manner in vertical guides using horizontal support members. The vertical guides have a C-shaped cross-section with a web and side, and the guides have folds facing each other. Each horizontal support member has a flange-like extension with a tongue-like projection that meshes with the gearing of the guide. This creates a form-locking connection between the guide and the horizontal support member, while the friction-type connection is created by pressing the surface of the flange-like extension against the guide due to the weight of the shelf. The technical effect of this invention is to improve the stability and load-bearing capacity of the shelf system."

Problems solved by technology

Furthermore, in order to adjust the shelf vertically it must be moved and rotated in several directions, representing a sever obstacle for a user.
In addition to inaccurate vertical adjusting of the shelf, the embodiment of the system itself is rather technologically demanding and time consuming.

Embodiment Construction

[0020]A system for vertically adjusting a shelf being described in details with reference to a cooling appliance comprises at least one, preferably two vertical guides 1, 2 being mutually spaced and formed in the cross-section as the letter C. Since said guides are preferably identical, only the first guide 1 is fully described in the foregoing and with reference to FIG. 2. Said guides 1, 2 are preferably placed against each other in a manner that webs 3 thereof faces each other. However, it is obvious that said guides 1, 2 may be arranged in a manner that said webs 3 are averted from each other. Each web 3 of said guides 1, 2 is formed with a plurality of through holes 4 enabling the air passage. A side 5 of each C-formed guide 1, 2 arranged opposite to said web 3 is formed as a pair of folds 6, 7 facing each other, the free end of at least one fold 6, 7 being preferably formed over the entire length of said guide 1, 2 with a gearing 8, 9.

[0021]To each of said guides 1, 2 there is ...

Abstract

The present invention refers to a system for vertically adjusting a shelf, such as in refrigerating appliances, cabinets, lockers and similar, said shelf comprises horizontal support members (10, 11) arranged perpendicularly to vertical guides (1, 2) where they can be vertically adjusted, and a deposit plate (12), a drawer or similar, being attached to said horizontal support members (10, 11). The invention is based on a fact that said shelf is fixed in a form-locking and friction-type manner in vertical guides (1, 2) by means of horizontal support members (10, 11).

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of priority from Slovenian Patent Application P-200900116, filed Apr. 23, 2009.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention refers to a system for vertically adjusting a shelf, such as in refrigerating appliances, cabinets, lockers and similar, said shelf comprises horizontal support members arranged perpendicularly to vertical guides where they can be vertically adjusted, and a deposit plate, a drawer or similar, being attached to said horizontal support members.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]The aforementioned system for vertically adjusting a shelf is known from international patent applications No. WO 2008 / 095775, WO 2008 / 095545 and WO 2006 / 120102. All the said known solutions have several drawbacks. The fact that a shelf, when raised and afterwards lowered, can freely fall is particularly outstanding. Furthermore, in order to adjust the shelf v...
