[Technical background of the invention] A refrigerator door bag is provided with a bottle storage shelf provided at the bottom for storing beer and juice bottles, and a shelf provided above for storing eggs, seasonings, etc. Among these, the shelves provided at the top are widely removable in consideration of the case where tall items are stored on the shelves below. Regarding such shelves, there have been proposed models in which the shelf boards themselves are removed, and models in which the shelf boards are placed against the back of the door bag. Since these shelves are provided on doors that open and close, it is necessary to provide a guard plate at the front end of the shelf in the frontage direction to prevent stored items from falling when the door is opened and closed. When the guard plate is fixed to the door bag, if the shelf board is removed, the guard board will remain even if the shelf board is removed, and if tall items are stored on the shelf below, this guard board will It gets in the way and is not easy to use.
In addition, if the guard board is integrally attached to the shelf board, the shelf board becomes bulky and takes up space when removed and stored. becomes thicker by the height of the guard plate, and the dead space increases.

[Purpose of the invention] The purpose of the invention is to provide a foldable revolving shelf within the door bag of a refrigerator with a simple configuration.

Another object of this invention is to provide a revolving shelf that can be placed against the back of a door bag without taking up much space when folded, and that can be easily set up.

[Structure of the device] This device is a shelf that is attached to the door back of a refrigerator, and both rear ends in the depth direction are rotatably supported by the door bag, and the front back surface in the depth direction is opened toward the rear. It has a shelf board with a bent part, and a support shaft extending in the frontage direction on the back surface of the lower end and supported at a distance from the back surface of the lower end, and the support shaft is inserted into the opening of the bent part. It has a front plate whose lower end is rotatably attached to the front part in the depth direction of the shelf board by being rotatably inserted, and the door back has a front plate that is rotatably attached to the front part of the shelf board in the depth direction. A protrusion that engages with both ends in the frontage direction of the back surface and a protrusion that supports the front plate approximately vertically when the shelf is held approximately horizontally are formed.This allows the front plate to be placed on the shelf when not in use. It is characterized by being foldable, and the shelf board can be placed against the back of the door bag.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of this invention shown in the drawings will be described. A door bag 3 is attached to the back side of a door 2 whose one end is pivotally attached to a refrigerator body 1. At the bottom of the door bag 3, a bottle storage shelf 5 is provided which can store bottles 4 for beer, youth, etc. in two rows in the depth direction of the door bag 3. A rotating shelf 6 is located above the bin storage shelf 5, at least at a position approximately half the height of the bins 4 that can be stored.

As shown in detail in FIG. 2, this rotating shelf 6 is rotatably supported at both rear ends in the depth direction between the side plate 7 of the door bag 3 and a partition plate 8 provided at the middle part of the door bag 3 in the frontage direction. A guard frame 11 that is approximately U-shaped so as to support both ends of the lower surface and the front end of the lower surface of the shelf board 9, and a guard frame 11 whose lower end is foldable at the front of the shelf board 9 in the depth direction. It has a front plate 12 attached thereto. A support shaft 13 is attached to the rear part of the shelf board 9 in the depth direction, and both ends of the support shaft 13 protrude from both sides of the shelf board 9. After passing through openings 14 formed at both ends of the guard frame 11, both ends of the support shaft 13 are rotatably inserted into openings 15 provided in the side plate 7 and the partition plate 8, respectively. Therefore, the guard frame 11 also supports the support shaft 1.
It is possible to rotate around 3 as a fulcrum. When the shelf board 9 is installed, the lower surfaces of both sides of the guard frame 11 abut against protrusions 16 integrally formed on the side plate 7 and the partition plate 8, and support the guard frame 11 and the shelf board 9 substantially horizontally.

A horizontal shaft 17 is attached to the lower end of the front plate 12 so as to extend in the frontage direction. This horizontal shaft 17 is supported at both ends and a middle portion by support projections 18 that are integrally provided on the back surface of the lower end of the front board 12 with a gap between them and the back surface of the front board 12 . The front edge of the shelf board 9 in the depth direction is rotatably engaged with the horizontal shaft 17. That is, a bent part 19 is provided on the back surface of the front edge of the shelf board 9 so as to form an opening toward the rear of the shelf board 9, and the horizontal shaft 17 is hooked into this bent part 19. By inserting them in this way, the shelf board 9 and the front board 12 are connected. Three notches 19 are provided at the front end of the shelf board 9 so that the support protrusions 17 are located therein. Thereby, the front plate 12 can be folded onto the shelf board 9 using the horizontal axis 17 as a fulcrum, and the front plate 12 can be easily removed. Fitting protrusions 22 are formed on both sides of the back surface at the upper end of the front plate 12, protruding toward the back surface and having openings on the front and side surfaces.

A front plate 1 is provided on the opposing surfaces of the side plate 7 and the partition plate 8.
2. When the shelf board 9 and the guard frame 11 are placed on the back side 23 of the folding door bag 2, a locking pin 2 with a spherical tip is used to hold the shelf board 9 and the guard frame 11 in this state.
4, and a stopper pin 25 that fits and holds the fitting protrusion 21 when the front plate 12 is erected.

When using this revolving shelf, the shelf board 9 and the guard frame 11 are folded down, the protrusions 16 are brought into contact with the guard frame, and the front plate 12 is moved from the shelf board 9.
