Definitions

  • This invention relates to a tray of adjustable capacity for refrigerators and the like, in accordance with the introduction to the accompanying main claim.
  • This convex shaping which is mostly dictated by current aesthetic fashion, does however offer an advantage in the sense that the pockets or trays associated with the door liner can, for the same degree of projection, have a capacity (in the width direction) which is greater than that of so-called flat pockets or trays.
  • this invention proposes firstly that that wall of the tray base element which is closer to the door is likewise dished, on the opposing wall there being able to be mounted (and hence removable) a part of a supplementary element which with this wall defines a first containing compartment and with the other wall a second compartment.
  • Multi-compartment trays are known, for example from Japanese patent applications 96-275738 and 96-275326.
  • the first describes a tray formed from a base element which can be coupled to a bracket and is provided with a front wall. A component comprising two L-shaped parts joined together can be inserted into this element to obtain a multi-compartment tray.
  • the second application describes a one-piece tray provided with a dividing wall which divides it into two compartments. The base wall of the two compartments is perforated to allow air circulation.
  • the reference numeral 1 indicates overall a tray for refrigerators and similar appliances in accordance with the invention. It comprises a base element 2 and a supplementary element 3 of flexible material intended to cooperate with the base element to obtain two separate variable compartments or pockets 4, 5 to hold various objects and/or products, such as bottles, tubes and the like.
  • the base element 2 comprises a convex rear wall 6 matching the convex shape of the door liner 6A of the door 6B of a refrigerator or the like. From the wall 6 there forwardly extend two side walls 9 connected via an arched region 11 to a front wall 12, which is also dished but in the opposite direction to that of the rear wall 6.
  • the base element 2 has a base 2A.
  • the supplementary element 3 of flexible material has a convex rear wall 13 the height of which is approximately equal to that of the front wall 12 of the base element 2.
  • the supplementary element 3 also has an arched front side 14 of lesser height provided with a groove 15 by which it is mounted on the front wall 12 of the base element 2.
  • the side 14 has the same convexity as the front wall 12 and defines with the rear wall 13 an approximately elliptical aperture 16 giving access to the compartment 5 (this compartment being defined essentially by the rear wall 13 of the supplementary element 3 and the front wall 12 of the base element 2).
  • the compartment or pocket 4 resulting from the combination can have a width P suitable for receiving and stably retaining bottles B either of normal size (75-100 cl) or of greater size (150-200 cl).
  • the compartment 5 can house 33 cl cans and small 20-50 cl bottles or other containers such as tubes or small jars.
  • the tray of the invention is supported on the door liner by usual coupling means provided for example on the side walls 9 and on the projecting sides 20 of the door liner 6A.
