Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a refrigerator door comprising an inner liner on which at least one support for goods is mounted.
  • a refrigerator door of the above kind is disclosed by EP937223 .
  • this known solution storage bins are arranged one above the other on the inner liner, and the storage bin base section can be folded up towards the inner liner so that the top of high items can poke through without removing the bin.
  • This solution has the problem of a difficult insertion of high items (for instance wine bottles with long necks) in the upper bin having the folded bottom and in the lower bin.
  • high items for instance wine bottles with long necks
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerator door which does not present the above drawbacks and is simple and economical to be mass produced.
  • the bin is made by a first part shaped as a plate hinged to the liner and by a second part placed above and at a certain distance from the first part, shaped as a U-shaped frame element hinged to the liner.
  • a refrigerator door 10 is provided with a peripheral gasket 12 and with a plastic inner liner 14.
  • Such inner liner 14 is shaped so that a raised edge 14a is defined around its perimeter.
  • a raised edge can define a single zone or multiple adjacent zones in which the storage space of the liner can be divided.
  • FIG. 1 On the liner 14 it is mounted a traditional bin B which has side portions which can cooperate with a corresponding shaped portion of the liner.
  • a bin 16 according to the invention which is made by a first portion 16a configured as a plastic plate hinged to the liner along an horizontal axis X-X, and by a second portion 16b configured as a metal bar which is U-shaped, is hinged in 18 to the liner 14 and has a perimeter which, in the horizontal position shown in figure 1 , corresponds substantially to the perimeter of the plate 16a below.
  • the first portion or plate 16a of the bin 16 in its operative configuration shown in figure 2 , rests against two raised portions 20 of the liners 14. Even if not shown in the example of the drawings, the plate 16a can have a peripheral small raised rim so that small items placed thereon do not risk falling down from the bin.
  • the plate 16a is rotated towards the liner 16 so that it is substantially in contact therewith.
  • the vertical position can be maintained by placing the rotation axis X-X slightly detached from the surface of the liner 14, or by using other well known fastening means as snap-engaging fasteners or magnetic fasteners.
  • figure 4 is it shown the configuration where the second element 16b of the bin 16 is folded down on the already folded plate 16a.
  • the U-shaped second element 16b presents a central rectilinear portion 13, two bent parallel portions 15 and two ends 17.
  • the second element 16b presents also cantilevered portions 22 which, in the configuration shown in figure 1 , 2 and 3 , rest on raised portions 24 of the liner. Moreover, each end 17 of the second element 16b which is hinged to the liner 14 is placed in a bloc-shaped guide 26 of the liner having a two-position cam-shaped slot 27 ( figures 2a and 4a ). In a first configuration the ends 17 of the second element 16b are in a rear position of the slot 27 so that such second element 16b is maintained in a horizontal position thanks to the cantilevered portions 22 which match the raised portions 24 of the liner 14.
  • the refrigerator door 10 can be provided with a plurality of bins 16 according to the present invention, i.e. without traditional bins B.
  • the foldable composite bin 16 according to the invention does allow an effective utilization of door space, an easy and flexible placing of goods, a cost effective solution compared to existing design and it is aesthetically attractive and of robust in design.
