Description

The compartment separator

The present invention relates to a kind of compartment separator and its application.Specifically, the present invention relates to a kind of compartment separator, it has a demarcation strip and a slide block that is fixed on this demarcation strip side seamed edge, this compartment separator is applicable to separates pulling out between drawer or refrigerator doors compartment in the refrigerator, the invention still further relates to one and is furnished with the pulling out between drawer and refrigerator doors compartment of a this compartment separator.

By the known a kind of like this compartment separator of DE2437550A1.

One of also known use has the compartment separator of the slide block on the lateral edges that a demarcation strip and is fixed on this demarcation strip, is used for separating between the refrigerator doors compartment of refrigerator.

This compartment separator only has an order function, and its existence can not cause effectively utilizing the space on this meaning, that is, because its existence can be placed more chilled goods in a refrigerator.On the contrary, if there is not the compartment separator in refrigerator, then the capacity between the refrigerator doors compartment is generally bigger, does not arrange with Z-shaped order because diameter can be reached the bottle of width between compartment, and bottle is local overlapping on width in this is arranged.Compartment separator is got rid of a kind of so overlapping.

Provide the beverage that in a large number be contained in very large 1.5 or 2 litre bottle by cold drink industry recent years, and its depositing in the family expenses refrigerator is difficult.Size between the refrigerator doors compartment is suitable for depositing the bottle of 1.0 liter capacities usually.If in being placed on the bottle of bigger volume between the refrigerator doors compartment, then do not allow its width, put compartment in order to make it, so bottle can only be very high greater than common bottle.The beverage bottle of being made by PET with this diameter and 1.5 liter capacities appears on the market.It compares the height that becomes higher with common 1.0 liters or 0.7 liter of vial, in the time of in making between the refrigerator doors compartment that this bottle will be erected at the refrigerator doors inboard, the vertical interval that must will hold between the refrigerator doors compartment of this bottle is elevated on the position that is positioned at above it.But,, therefore cause using wastefully the space in the refrigerator because have only less bottle to deposit simultaneously mostly with such height.

2 liters of PET bottles generally have such diameter, make this bottle no longer be suitable between a refrigerator doors compartment.Therefore force the consumer that this bottle traverse to refrigerator inside is deposited on the plate.There is overflow and its contents are sprinkled upon danger in the refrigerator at this bottle that open, not complete closed.

The objective of the invention is, a kind of compartment separator is provided, it especially can be realized utilizing economically the space when depositing big beverage bottle in refrigerator and support bottle reliably.

This purpose realizes by a compartment separator with claim 1 feature.Such compartment separator allows a bottle to be positioned at obliquity, and wherein this bottle is by preventing to sidewinder in the recess that is placed on seamed edge on the demarcation strip.The obliquity of the bottle that can determine by the location of this compartment separator, can change the angle of inclination allows to be placed on a bottle between the refrigerator doors compartment of a refrigerator or to pull out the drawer the inside, and need not to make between the refrigerator doors compartment that holds bottle and on distance between between the compartment put greater than the height of bottle, that is to say to need not to make the height of pulling out drawer to be adapted to the height of bottle.

Preferably has one first U-shaped contour segment and one means according to the slide block of compartment separator of the present invention, this U-shaped contour segment extends perpendicular to the plane of described demarcation strip, these means make the compartment separator be easy to the location, and it from the side that deviates from demarcation strip of the first U-shaped contour segment in the plane of demarcation strip, extend.

These means preferably are made of one second U-shaped contour segment.Can make a plurality of demarcation strips vertically interconnect and constitute the separation compartment like this by means of this second U-shaped contour segment, make and separate the length that compartment is longer than each demarcation strip.

With similar method the first U-shaped contour segment is plugged on another demarcation strip according to compartment separator of the present invention regularly, separates compartment, the separation compartment is extended on a plurality of mutually orthogonal directions so that constitute like this.

Described demarcation strip is preferably on the following seamed edge also has at least one recess, and especially the recess quantity on the seamed edge is different with the recess quantity on the following seamed edge on the demarcation strip, for example is 1 or 2.According to the orientated up compartment the inside that fits over of in two seamed edges which, such compartment separator can prevent inclination with sidewindering or flatly support big or two little bottles.

In addition, the first U-shaped contour segment preferably has matsurface or cutting at least on an inner surface.This matsurface or cutting are by other supporting mass of a wallboard of weight roof pressure that is placed on the bottle on the seamed edge on the demarcation strip or, and the first U-shaped contour segment of pegging graft on this wallboard prevents supporting mass side direction skew under the effect of bottle pressure thus.

Theme of the present invention also is to be used for the drawer of pulling out of a refrigerator, and this pulls out the compartment channels separated of drawer by at least one above-mentioned form.Such compartment separator preferably is plugged on this at least one sidewall of pulling out drawer.At this, the height of this demarcation strip can be corresponding to the sidewall height, makes the following seamed edge of compartment separator of a carrying be in and is bearing on the position of pulling out drawer-bottom board.Another modification is the height of the height of this demarcation strip less than sidewall, and making also can the traverse large numbers of items below the following seamed edge of pulling out this demarcation strip of drawer the inside.

Preferably such drawer of pulling out is separated at least one high wall compartment and a low wall compartment, and at least one compartment separator can be assemblied at least one wallboard of low wall compartment, so that separate this low wall compartment.This makes it possible to make full use of the high wall compartment that is generally used for depositing vegetables and other bulk goods, makes low wall compartment be more suitable for depositing bottle thus.

To design the size of low wall compartment like this, make the beverage bottle of a bottle, especially 1.5 liters or 2.0 liters can in low wall compartment, be bearing in the obliquity on the compartment separator.In detail, design the size of compartment like this, make such one bottle be lower than the range of movement of pulling out drawer side wall, make that pull out that drawer can advance is inside the refrigerator compartment of its defined with having no problem.Also can select or replenish ground like this design pull out the size of drawer, make the bottle of the above-mentioned type also can be horizontal on two compartment separators.
