Abstract
Description
[0001] Refrigerators are often used to chill beverages. The essential activity is therefore placing and removing bottles. When cooling a large number of bottles, they are arranged either vertically (upright) or horizontally (lying down). This creates the following problem: The bottles that have been in the refrigerator the longest have the lowest temperature, which is desirable for consumption. If drinks are continuously refilled, these bottles are either at the very back (vertical) or at the very bottom (horizontal). This makes them difficult to remove.
[0002] The invention defined in claim 1 is based on the problem of creating a device that allows the bottles to be arranged in a structured manner and that allows the bottles that have been in the refrigerator the longest to be easily removed.
[0003] This problem is solved by the features listed in claim 1.
[0004] The invention enables efficient handling and structured arrangement of bottles in the refrigerator. Warm bottles are initially inserted from one side and then moved to the other side through a continuous shifting process. The bottles on one side reach the coolest temperature because they have been refrigerated the longest. From there, they can be easily removed. The system ensures better organization in the refrigerator and uses space efficiently by distributing the bottles evenly and ensuring more effective cooling.
Claims
[1] Bottle organization system for the refrigerator, comprising a plurality of plastic plates, each having a plurality of recesses, corresponding to the depth of the refrigerator, for receiving the bottoms of bottles, characterized by that the plastic plates are arranged next to each other and their geometry on the underside means that the plates are automatically shifted to the right when a new plate is inserted. [2] Bottle organization system according to claim 1, characterized by that the bulges are adapted to the undersides of NRW and Euro beer bottles, as well as other common beer bottle formats. [3] Bottle organization system according to claim 1 or 2, characterized bythat the geometry of the underside of the plastic panels allows a gradual movement of the bottles from left to right in the refrigerator, with the bottles moving to and from the other side of the refrigerator through the continuous movement process. [4] Bottle organization system according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by that the plastic plates are designed to ensure stable and secure storage of the bottles and prevent the bottles from slipping or falling over. [5] Bottle organization system according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by that the plastic panels can be modularly arranged to allow flexible adaptation to different refrigerator sizes and capacities. [6] Bottle organization system according to one of the preceding claims, characterized bythat the width of the refrigerator in which the plastic panels move can be adjusted, if necessary, using an additional adhesive plastic strip. [7] Bottle organization system according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by that the plastic plates are made of a temperature-resistant material suitable for use in the refrigerator. [8] Bottle organization system according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by that the bottles remain in the refrigerator due to the mechanical shifting process to the right until they have reached the coolest temperature and can be removed from there.
