Definitions
- the present invention relates to a storage container used in ref igerators, which realizes a movement in a stepwise fashion by rotating about an axis to be brought to open or closed positions.
- the object of the present invention is to realize a storage container to be used in refrigerators, which can be opened/closed at more than one step by rotating about an axis.
- Figure 1 is the front view of the adapter part
- Figure 2 is the back view of the adapter part
- Figure 3 is the view showing the adapter part as mounted onto the refrigerator door
- Figure 4a is the side schematical view of the storage container mounted on the refrigerator door, in the closed position
- Figure 4b is the side schematical view of the storage container mounted on the refrigerator door, in the first step.
- Figure 4c is the side schematical view of the storage container mounted on the refrigerator door, in the second step.
- Figure 5a is the view showing the storage container on the refrigerator door, in the closed position
- Figure 5b is the view showing the storage container on the refrigerator door, in the open position.
- the storage container (1) is preferably placed into the inner surface of the refrigerator doors (13). In this case, the inner volume of the refrigerator can be used more efficiently.
- the storage container (1) comprises a body (2) and two adapter parts (3).
- the body (2) is an empty box having a certain inner volume. On both lateral surfaces of the body (2), a rotational axis recess (4) allowing the body (2) to be placed in the adapter part (2) to enable its stepwise movement, and a stepping pin (5) are provided.
- the adapter part (3) enables the body (2) placed on it to perform the opening/closing movement in a stepwise way and that provides the mounting of the body (2) to its place securely.
- Said adapter part (3) comprises a fixation recess (9), a rib (8), a stepping recess (6) and a rotational pin (7) (figures 1 and 2).
- the stepping recess (6) has a structure with at least one curvilinear boss on which the stepping pin (5) provided on the lateral face of the body (2) is seated.
- the number of said bosses are determined in direct proportion with the number of the stepwise movements intended to be obtained.
- the fixation recess (9) has such a structure that it inhibits the movement of the adapter part (3) secured to the door plastic element, in all directions.
- Said recess (9) is preferably made in the shape of reverse "U" so that its three sides are closed and the bottom side is open.
- the rib (8) is provided on the surface of the adapter part (3) that faces towards the door (13) and inhibits the movement of the adapter part (3). Certain modifications are made on the door (13) in order to provide the mounting of the above disclosed adapter part (3) onto the door (13) without using any fastening elements.
- a protrusion (10) is formed on the vertical side-edge of the door (13) in order to prevent its movement on horizontal plane.
- a side wall groove (11) is provided on the door at its lateral side of such a width and length that the rib (8) provided on the adapter part (3) can rest against it. By resting the rib (8) against the side wall groove (11), the movement of the adapter part (3) on horizontal plane is prevented.
- a fixation projection (12) that fits into the fixation recess (9) provided at the bottom surface of the adapter part (3), is provided on the top surface of the door (13).
- Said fixation projection (12) has a structure with a width that allows it to be fitted onto the fixation recess (9); and is preferably of a rectangular prism shape.
- Two adapter parts (3) are placed in an opposing position, with the guidance of the protrusions (10) and side wall grooves (11) provided on the door.
- the protrusion on the door (13) presses on the adapter part (3) and at the same time, the rib (8) provided on the adapter part (3) rests against the side wall groove (11) provided on the door (13), and the fixation projection (12) fits into the fixation recess (9) (Fig. 3).
- the body (2) is disposed on the adapter parts (3) which is placed onto the door (13) as described above.
- the rotational pin (7) on the adapter part (3) is fitted into the rotational axis recess (4) on the lateral side of the body (2).
- the stepping pin (5) on the body (2) fits into the stepping recess (6) on the adapter part (3).
- the body (2) rotates about the rotational pin (7) attached into the rotational axis recess (4).
- the stepping pin (5) moves inside the stepping recess (6) and fits into the cavities formed between the bosses created in the stepping recess (6).
- the body (2) is enabled to perform a stepwise movement and to stop at the desired step ( Figures 4a, 4b and 4c) .
- the number of steps varies according to the number of the bosses.
- the storage container (1) is placed vertically on the refrigerator door, but it can also be placed obliquely.
- the storage container (1) according to the present invention can be opened in a stepwise fashion, allows an easy loading of food into the storage container (1) and an easy access to the food present in said storage container.
