Description

本発明は、冷蔵庫の扉にポケットを設けて構成される冷蔵庫扉の収納装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a refrigerator door storage device configured by providing a pocket on a refrigerator door.

冷蔵庫の冷蔵室を開閉する扉には、ビン類や缶類などを収納するポケットが複数段設けられている。ところが、冷蔵室は、通常、冷蔵庫本体の上部に設けられているため、大型の冷蔵庫では、特に上段のポケットについては、物品の出し入れがし難いという問題があった。
この問題を解消するために、特許文献１では、箱状のポケットの突出前面の上部に凹状の開口部を形成し、この開口部を前後方向に回動可能な蓋体によって開閉する構成とすることにより、収納物品の脱落を防止しつつ、物品の取り出し性の向上を図っている。
特開平１０−９６５８６号公報 The door that opens and closes the refrigerator compartment of the refrigerator is provided with a plurality of pockets for storing bottles and cans. However, since the refrigerator compartment is usually provided in the upper part of the refrigerator main body, there is a problem that in a large refrigerator, it is difficult to take in and out articles particularly in the upper pocket.
In order to solve this problem, in Patent Document 1, a concave opening is formed in the upper part of the protruding front surface of the box-shaped pocket, and the opening is opened and closed by a lid that can be rotated in the front-rear direction. Thus, the removal property of the article is prevented and the take-out property of the article is improved.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-96586

特許文献１では、蓋体は、下端部分がポケットに回動可能に支持され、上部に設けられた係止構造によって常にはポケットの開口部を閉じた状態に保持されていてポケット内に収納された物品が扉の開閉時の衝撃などによって脱落することのないようにしている。そして、物品をポケットから取り出す際に、物品が蓋体の上部に当ると、蓋体の係止が外れて蓋体が前方に倒れ、これによって開口部が開かれ、物品を容易に取り出すことができるようになる、という構成である。   In Patent Literature 1, the lower end portion of the lid body is rotatably supported by the pocket, and the opening portion of the pocket is always held in a closed state by a locking structure provided on the upper portion, and is stored in the pocket. This prevents the articles from dropping off due to impacts when the door is opened or closed. When removing the article from the pocket, if the article hits the top of the lid, the lid is unlocked and the lid falls forward, thereby opening the opening and allowing the article to be easily removed. It is a configuration that can be done.

しかしながら、この構成では、蓋体の係止が外れて蓋体が前方に回動し開口部を開放した場合には、再び蓋体を後方に回動して係止状態に戻さねばならず、面倒であった。
本発明は上記の事情に鑑みてなされたもので、その目的は、ポケットに収納された物品の脱落を防止できることは勿論、物品の取り出し性が良く、しかも物品の脱落を防止できる状態への復帰操作の必要もない冷蔵庫扉の収納装置を提供することにある。 However, in this configuration, when the lid is unlocked and the lid pivots forward to open the opening, the lid must be pivoted back again to return to the latched state. It was troublesome.
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is not only to prevent the articles stored in the pockets from dropping off, but also to return to a state in which the articles can be easily taken out and the articles can be prevented from falling off. The object is to provide a storage device for a refrigerator door that does not require any operation.

本発明の冷蔵庫扉の収納装置は、貯蔵室の前面開口部を開閉する扉の内外両側のうち、閉鎖時に前記貯蔵室側となる扉内側にポケットを突出して設けた冷蔵庫扉の収納装置において、前記ポケットの突出前端に対して接離する上下方向に回動可能に設けられたガード部材と、このガード部材を上方に付勢して常時は該ガード部材を前記ポケットの突出前端から上方に離間したガード位置に保持し、前記ポケットに収納された物品が取り出される際、当該物品に押圧されると前記ガード部材が前記ポケットの突出前端に接近する下方向に回動することを許容する付勢手段とを具備してなるものである。   The refrigerator door storage device of the present invention is a refrigerator door storage device provided with a pocket protruding from the inside of the door that becomes the storage chamber side when closed, out of both the inside and outside of the door that opens and closes the front opening of the storage chamber, A guard member provided so as to be able to turn in the vertical direction that contacts and separates from the protruding front end of the pocket, and the guard member is normally biased upward to separate the guard member upward from the protruding front end of the pocket. When the article stored in the pocket is taken out and pressed by the article, the guard member is biased to allow the guard member to rotate downward approaching the protruding front end of the pocket. Means.

上記構成によれば、ガード部材は、常には付勢手段によってポケットの前端から上方に離間したガード位置に保持されているので、ガード部材によってポケット内に収納された物品の脱落を防止できる。ポケットから物品を取り出す際に、物品がガード部材に当ると、ガード部材が付勢手段の付勢力に抗して下方に回動するので、物品を容易に取り出すことができ、物品を取り出した後はガード部材が付勢手段の付勢力によって自動的に元のガード位置に復帰するので、ガード部材を戻す操作をする必要がない。   According to the above configuration, since the guard member is always held at the guard position spaced upward from the front end of the pocket by the urging means, it is possible to prevent the articles stored in the pocket from falling off by the guard member. When taking out the article from the pocket, if the article hits the guard member, the guard member rotates downward against the urging force of the urging means, so that the article can be taken out easily and after the article is taken out. Since the guard member automatically returns to the original guard position by the urging force of the urging means, there is no need to perform an operation of returning the guard member.

以下、本発明の第１の実施形態を図１ないし図５を参照しながら説明する。図５は冷蔵庫の全体を示すもので、同図のように、冷蔵庫本体１には、上半部に冷蔵室２（図４に示す）が設けられ、下半部に下から順に冷凍室、野菜室、左右に並ぶ製氷室と仕様切換室（いずれも図示せず）が設けられている。これらの貯蔵室は、冷蔵庫本体１に設けられた扉３〜８によって開閉されるようになっている。本実施形態の場合、冷蔵室２については、観音開き式の２枚の扉３，４によって構成され、他の冷凍室、野菜室、製氷室、仕様切換室については、それぞれ１枚の引き出し式の扉５〜８によって構成されている。   A first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 5 shows the entire refrigerator. As shown in FIG. 5, the refrigerator body 1 is provided with a refrigerator compartment 2 (shown in FIG. 4) in the upper half, and a freezer compartment in the lower half in order from the bottom. There are a vegetable room, an ice making room and a specification switching room (both not shown) arranged on the left and right. These storage rooms are opened and closed by doors 3 to 8 provided in the refrigerator main body 1. In the case of the present embodiment, the refrigerator compartment 2 is constituted by two double doors 3 and 4, and the other freezer compartment, vegetable compartment, ice making compartment, and specification changeover compartment are each a single drawer type. It is comprised by the doors 5-8.

図４は、冷蔵室２の左側の扉３を開いた状態を示している。この図４に示すように、扉３の裏側には、複数、例えば３個の樹脂製のポケット９〜１１が上下３段に設けられている。ここで、扉３の表裏は、冷蔵室２を閉じた状態でいうものとし、閉鎖状態で前面側を表側、冷蔵室２内に望む側を裏側と称する。なお、右側の扉４についても、同様に上下３段にポケットが設けられている。   FIG. 4 shows a state in which the left door 3 of the refrigerator compartment 2 is opened. As shown in FIG. 4, on the back side of the door 3, a plurality of, for example, three resin pockets 9 to 11 are provided in three upper and lower stages. Here, the front and back sides of the door 3 are in a state in which the refrigerator compartment 2 is closed, and the front side in the closed state is referred to as the front side, and the side desired in the refrigerator compartment 2 is referred to as the back side. Similarly, the right door 4 is provided with pockets in three upper and lower stages.

ポケット９〜１１は、扉３の裏側を構成する扉裏板３ａに、冷蔵室２側に突出するように設けられている。これらポケット９〜１１には、周知のように、ビン類、缶類、紙パック、ペットボトル、或いは食品容器などの物品が収納される。これらポケット９〜１１は、いずれも箱状をなしている。そのうち、上側２段のポケット９および１０については、扉裏板３ａからの突出前端である前面壁９ａおよび１０ａの全体および左右の両側面壁９ｂ，９ｃおよび１０ｂ，１０ｃの前半部が両側面壁９ｂ，９ｃおよび１０ｂ，１０ｃの後半部よりも低く切除された状態になっている。このため、扉３および４を開閉する際に、ポケット９および１０内に収納された物品が前面壁９ａおよび１０ａ或いは左右両側面壁９ｂ，９ｃおよび１０ｂ，１０ｃから外へ転げ落ちるおそれがある。   The pockets 9 to 11 are provided on the door back plate 3 a constituting the back side of the door 3 so as to protrude toward the refrigerator compartment 2 side. As is well known, these pockets 9 to 11 store articles such as bottles, cans, paper packs, plastic bottles, and food containers. Each of these pockets 9 to 11 has a box shape. Among the upper two-stage pockets 9 and 10, the entire front walls 9 a and 10 a which are front ends protruding from the door back plate 3 a and the front half portions of the left and right side walls 9 b, 9 c and 10 b, 10 c are both side walls 9 b, 9c and 10b, 10c are cut lower than the latter half. For this reason, when the doors 3 and 4 are opened and closed, articles stored in the pockets 9 and 10 may fall down from the front walls 9a and 10a or the left and right side walls 9b, 9c and 10b, 10c.

このポケット９および１０からの物品の脱落を防止するために、ポケット９および１０には、それぞれガード部材１２が設けられている。このガード部材１２の構成および取り付け構成は、ポケット９および１０について同様であるので、以下ではポケット９について説明し、ポケット１０については説明を省略する。   In order to prevent the articles from dropping from the pockets 9 and 10, guard members 12 are provided in the pockets 9 and 10, respectively. Since the configuration and the mounting configuration of the guard member 12 are the same for the pockets 9 and 10, the pocket 9 will be described below, and the description of the pocket 10 will be omitted.

ガード部材１２は、例えば樹脂コーティングを施した金属線材から構成され、図２に示すように、ポケット９の切除された前面壁９ａおよび左右両側面壁９ｂ，９ｃの前半部の上端形状に倣った略コ字形に形成されている。ここで、ポケット９の切除された前面壁９ａの上端に倣った部分を主部１２ａ、切りかかれた左右両側面壁９ｂ，９ｃの前半部の上端に倣った部分をアーム部１２ｂとすると、ガード部材１２は、主部１２ａの左右両側に一対のアーム部１２ｂを設けた略コ字形をなしているのであり、更に、アーム部１２ｂの先端部に下向きの連結部１２ｃが折曲形成されている。   The guard member 12 is made of, for example, a metal wire coated with a resin, and as shown in FIG. 2, the guard member 12 substantially follows the upper end shape of the front half 9a of the pocket 9 and the front half of the left and right side walls 9b and 9c. It is formed in a U shape. Here, when the portion following the upper end of the front wall 9a from which the pocket 9 is cut out is the main portion 12a, and the portion following the upper end of the front left and right side walls 9b and 9c is the arm portion 12b, the guard member 12 has a substantially U-shape in which a pair of arm portions 12b are provided on both the left and right sides of the main portion 12a, and a downward connecting portion 12c is bent at the tip of the arm portion 12b.

上記ガード部材１２は、ポケット９内の左右両側に設けられた中継機構１３を介してポケット９に上下方向に回動可能に配設される。中継機構１３は、取付部材１４と、回動部材１５とからなる。取付部材１４には軸部１４ａおよび係止部１４ｂが形成され、回動部材１５には軸孔１５ａおよび係止部１５ｂが形成されている。そして、取付部材１４の軸部１４ａに付勢手段としてのねじりコイルバネ１６のコイル部１６ａを嵌め込んだ上で、回動部材１５の軸孔１５ａを軸部１４ａに嵌合することによって回動部材１５を取付部材１４に回動可能に連結している。このとき、ねじりコイルばね１６は、一方の巻端部１６ｂを取付部材１４の係止部１４ｂに係止可能で、且つ他方の巻端部１６ｃを回動部材１５の係止部１５ｂに係止可能な状態に配置される。   The guard member 12 is disposed in the pocket 9 so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction via a relay mechanism 13 provided on both the left and right sides in the pocket 9. The relay mechanism 13 includes an attachment member 14 and a rotation member 15. The mounting member 14 is formed with a shaft portion 14a and a locking portion 14b, and the rotating member 15 is formed with a shaft hole 15a and a locking portion 15b. Then, after the coil portion 16a of the torsion coil spring 16 as the biasing means is fitted into the shaft portion 14a of the mounting member 14, the rotating member 15 is fitted into the shaft portion 14a by fitting the shaft hole 15a into the shaft portion 14a. 15 is rotatably connected to the mounting member 14. At this time, the torsion coil spring 16 can lock one winding end 16 b to the locking portion 14 b of the mounting member 14 and lock the other winding end 16 c to the locking portion 15 b of the rotating member 15. Arranged in a possible state.

回動部材１５は、上端部に略半円状の溝１５ｃが形成されていると共に、後部に突設された突起部１５ｄに差し込み孔１５ｅが形成されており、溝１５ｃにガード部材１２のアーム部１２ｂの先端部が嵌合されていると共に、差し込み孔１５ｄに連結部１２ｃが圧入されている。これにより、ガード部材１２が回動部材１５に取り付けられて当該回動部材１５と一体的に回動するように中継機構１３に組み付けられる。   The rotating member 15 has a substantially semicircular groove 15c formed in the upper end portion thereof, and an insertion hole 15e formed in a protruding portion 15d projecting from the rear portion. The arm of the guard member 12 is formed in the groove 15c. The tip of the portion 12b is fitted, and the connecting portion 12c is press-fitted into the insertion hole 15d. Accordingly, the guard member 12 is attached to the rotating member 15 and assembled to the relay mechanism 13 so as to rotate integrally with the rotating member 15.

そして、取付部材１４は、ポケット９内の左右両側に接着などによって固定され、これにより、ガード部材１２は、ポケット９に上下方向に回動可能に連結された状態となる。この配設状態において、ねじりコイルばね１６は、両巻端部１６ｂ，１６ｃをそれぞれ係止部１４ｂ，１５ｂに係止されてポケット９側である取付部材１４とアーム部１２ｂ側である回動部材１５との間に付勢力を及ぼし、回動部材１５、ひいてはガード部材１２を上方向に回動付勢する。   The attachment member 14 is fixed to both the left and right sides of the pocket 9 by bonding or the like, whereby the guard member 12 is connected to the pocket 9 so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction. In this arrangement state, the torsion coil spring 16 has both the winding end portions 16b and 16c engaged with the engaging portions 14b and 15b, respectively, and the mounting member 14 on the pocket 9 side and the rotating member on the arm portion 12b side. An urging force is exerted between the rotating member 15 and the guard member 12 in an upward direction.

このねじりコイルばね１６の回動付勢力によってガード部材１２は、主部１２ａをポケット９の前面壁９ａの上端から上方に隔たったガード位置に保持する。そして、ポケット９内に収納された物品を取り出す際に、その物品がガード部材１２の主部１２ａなどに当って当該主部１２ａを下方に押したりすると、ガード部材１２がねじりコイルばね１６の付勢力に抗して下方に回動するようになる。   The guard member 12 holds the main portion 12 a at a guard position spaced upward from the upper end of the front wall 9 a of the pocket 9 by the rotational biasing force of the torsion coil spring 16. Then, when the article stored in the pocket 9 is taken out, if the article hits the main portion 12a of the guard member 12 and pushes the main portion 12a downward, the guard member 12 is attached to the torsion coil spring 16. It turns downward against the force.

上記構成において、ポケット９内から物品を取り出す際、ガード部材１２が物品の取り出しに邪魔になるようであれば、物品がガード部材１２、特には主部１２ａに当るようになる。すると、ガード部材１２がねじりコイルばね１６の付勢力に抗して下方に回動し、例えば図３に示すように、主部１２ａの位置を低くするので、楽に物品を取り出すことができる。そして、物品がポケット９から取り出されれば、ガード部材１２はねじりコイルばね１６によって自然に元のガード位置に戻される。   In the above configuration, when the article is taken out from the pocket 9, if the guard member 12 is in the way of taking out the article, the article comes into contact with the guard member 12, particularly the main portion 12a. Then, the guard member 12 rotates downward against the urging force of the torsion coil spring 16, and the position of the main portion 12a is lowered as shown in FIG. 3, for example, so that the article can be easily taken out. When the article is taken out from the pocket 9, the guard member 12 is naturally returned to the original guard position by the torsion coil spring 16.

このように本実施形態によれば、ガード部材１２は、常には、ねじりコイルばね１６によってポケット９の前面壁９ａ上端から上方に離れたガード位置（図１に示す位置）に保持されているので、ポケット９からの物品の脱落を防止できる。その上、ポケット９から物品を取り出す場合、ガード部材１２が取り出しの邪魔になるようであれば、物品の当接に伴ってガード部材１２が自然に下方に回動して逃げるので、物品の取り出し性にも優れる。しかも、物品の取り出しが終れば、ガード部材１２は自動的に元のガード位置に戻るので、面倒な戻し操作を行わずとも済む。
更に、本実施形態では、ねじりコイルばね１６を取付部材１４と回動部材１５との間に保持する構成であるので、ねじりコイルばね１６を隠すことができ、外観を損なうことがない。 As described above, according to the present embodiment, the guard member 12 is always held by the torsion coil spring 16 at the guard position (position shown in FIG. 1) away from the upper end of the front wall 9 a of the pocket 9. Further, it is possible to prevent the article from dropping out from the pocket 9. In addition, when the article is taken out from the pocket 9, if the guard member 12 interferes with the taking out, the guard member 12 will naturally rotate downward and escape as the article abuts. Also excellent in properties. Moreover, since the guard member 12 automatically returns to the original guard position after the article is taken out, it is not necessary to perform a troublesome return operation.
Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the torsion coil spring 16 is configured to be held between the attachment member 14 and the rotation member 15, the torsion coil spring 16 can be concealed and the appearance is not impaired.

図６および図７は本発明の第２の実施形態を示す。この実施形態が上述の第１の実施形態と異なるところは、ポケット９の前面壁９ａの上端中央に、保持部としての保持片１７を一体に突設したところにある。この保持片１７は、自身で、或いは前面壁９ａの弾性変形を伴って弾性変形可能で、上部前側に爪部１７ａを有している。そして、ガード部材１２の主部１２ａが下方に回動して爪部１７ａを乗り越えると、保持片１７がガード部材１２をねじりコイルばね１６の付勢力に抗して下方に回動した位置、つまり主部１２ａがポケット９の前面壁９ａ上端に接した、或いは近接した位置に保持する。   6 and 7 show a second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment differs from the first embodiment described above in that a holding piece 17 as a holding portion is integrally projected at the center of the upper end of the front wall 9a of the pocket 9. This holding piece 17 can be elastically deformed by itself or with elastic deformation of the front wall 9a, and has a claw portion 17a on the upper front side. When the main portion 12a of the guard member 12 is rotated downward and gets over the claw portion 17a, the holding piece 17 is rotated downward against the biasing force of the torsion coil spring 16, that is, the position where the holding piece 17 is rotated. The main portion 12a is held at a position in contact with or close to the upper end of the front wall 9a of the pocket 9.

この構成において、ポケット９内に物品を収納する場合、ガード部材１２の位置が高くて収納操作の邪魔になるようであれば、ガード部材１２を下方に回動操作し、その主部１２ａを図７のように保持片１７の爪部１７ａに係止させる。これにより、ガード部材１２が下方に回動して主部１２ａをポケット９の前面壁９ａの上端に重ねた状態に保持されるので、ガード部材１２に邪魔されることなく物品をポケット９内に収納することができるようになる。   In this configuration, when the article is stored in the pocket 9, if the guard member 12 is high and interferes with the storing operation, the guard member 12 is rotated downward, and the main part 12 a is illustrated. 7 is engaged with the claw portion 17 a of the holding piece 17. As a result, the guard member 12 is pivoted downward and the main portion 12a is held in a state of being overlapped with the upper end of the front wall 9a of the pocket 9, so that the article can be placed in the pocket 9 without being obstructed by the guard member 12. It can be stored.

そして、物品をポケット９内に収納し終えた後、保持片１７を弾性変形させて爪部１７ａによる主部１２ａの係止を解く。すると、ガード部材１２がねじりコイルばね１７の付勢力によって上方に回動し、主部１２ａがポケット９の前面壁９ａの上端から上方に離れたガード位置に保持される。この状態では、ガード部材１２がポケット９内に収納された物品を支えてポケット９から脱落しないように作用する。   Then, after the article is stored in the pocket 9, the holding piece 17 is elastically deformed to unlock the main portion 12a by the claw portion 17a. Then, the guard member 12 is rotated upward by the urging force of the torsion coil spring 17, and the main portion 12 a is held at a guard position away from the upper end of the front wall 9 a of the pocket 9. In this state, the guard member 12 supports the article stored in the pocket 9 and acts so as not to drop out of the pocket 9.

図８は、本発明の第３の実施形態を示すもので、上記第１の実施形態と異なるところは、ポケット９の左右両側面壁９ｂ，９ｃに外側から内側に向かって突出する部分を形成し、これにより左右両外側面壁の外面側に生じた凹部１８内に中継機構１３を設けたものである。
このように構成すれば、中継機構１３を隠すことができるので、外観を向上させることができる。 FIG. 8 shows a third embodiment of the present invention. The difference from the first embodiment is that the left and right side walls 9b and 9c of the pocket 9 are formed with portions protruding from the outside to the inside. Thus, the relay mechanism 13 is provided in the concave portion 18 generated on the outer surface side of the left and right outer side walls.
If comprised in this way, since the relay mechanism 13 can be hidden, an external appearance can be improved.

なお、本発明は上記し且つ図面に示す実施形態に限定されるものではなく、以下のような拡張或いは変更が可能である。
保持片１７は特に設ける必要はない。
ガード部材１２は、金属線材から構成するものばかりに限らない。
ガード部材１２は、連結部１２ｃを外側方（水平横向き）に突出するように曲げ、この連結部１２ｃを直接ポケット９の左右両側面壁に回動可能に支持するように構成しても良い。
本発明は、冷蔵室２の右側の扉４のポケットに適用しても良いし、他の扉に設けられたポケットに適用しても良い。 The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above and shown in the drawings, and can be expanded or changed as follows.
There is no need to provide the holding piece 17 in particular.
The guard member 12 is not limited to one composed of a metal wire.
The guard member 12 may be configured such that the connecting portion 12c is bent so as to protrude outward (horizontal sideways), and the connecting portion 12c is directly supported on the left and right side walls of the pocket 9 so as to be rotatable.
The present invention may be applied to the pocket of the door 4 on the right side of the refrigerator compartment 2, or may be applied to a pocket provided on another door.
