Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a double-leafed hinged door apparatus having improved assembling accuracy and improved condensation resistant property. SOLUTION: A double-leafed hinged door is provided which has a first door 6A and a second door 6B. A rotatable partition structure 11 is provided on the back surface of the first door 6A on a non-pivotal side of the same. A pin 12A provided facing a front edge opening on the side of a heat insulation box 5 is guided and engaged with a circular-arc shaped groove 15A provided only in an upper end surface of the partition structure 11. Hereby, opening and closing of the first door 6A is achieved smoothly without wrenching thereof to prevent cold air that might cause condensation in the vicinity of a lower end surface of the partition structure 11 from stagnating.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress the thermal leak into a refrigerator chamber to be low while preventing condensation of a partition wall of a freezing refrigerator. SOLUTION: A freezing refrigerator suppresses the thermal leak from a front side into a refrigerator chamber to be low by using a resin plate 27 on a front side of a partition wall 3. A heater can be controlled corresponding to the change of the outside temperature and the outside humidity, and dew condensation can be prevented with small power by installing a heater 32 for preventing condensation in place of a conventional condensation pipe on an inner side of the resin plate 27.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress heat leakage into a refrigerator to a minimum limit while preventing dew condensation by providing insertion grooves in an overall width on the upper and lower parts of a front surface of a resin plate for constituting a partition wall, fixedly inserting the upper and lower ends of a partition plate into the grooves, and laying an antidewing heater on the inner surface of the partition plate. SOLUTION: Insertion grooves 2 are provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the front surface of a resin plate 1 for forming a partition wall 6. Stepped parts provided on the upper and lower surfaces of a partition plate 3 made of a magnetic metal plate are inserted into the grooves 2, and the front surface of the plate 3 is set in plane with the plate 1. A heat insulator 4 molded by foam polystyrene is disposed in the plate 1, and an antidewing heater 5 made of an electric heating wire or the like is laid on the inner surface of the plate 3 in the refrigerator. Thus, heat leakage into the refrigerator can be suppressed to a minimum limit while preventing dew condensation, and power consumption can be reduced.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To eliminate from the manufacturing process of a heat-insulated casing, which is one provided with a reinforcing member at the lower part of the outer casing, the possibility of electric welding causing a shunted discharge resulting in formation of a hole in a heat discharging pipe and impairment of the cooling capacity and also make the heat-insulated casing resistive to a horizontal twist by fitting a substantially U-shaped reinforcing member on three planes formed by the lower part of each of the two side plates. CONSTITUTION:The front edge of an outer casing, framing its opening, is fashioned into a flange made up of a double flange 9 and an extended flange 21 and having a hole 25 for fitting, on which another contact-bonded flange functioning as a reinforcing member is fitted by applying pressure and fixed thereto by caulking having contact-bonded flange deformation part 26 on the last-mentioned flange in place for the fixation.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To prevent the left or right side of a shelf from inclining, and to move the shelf with a small strength by forming a sliding slot, receiving a slidable member, vertically in a rail and also forming a rack meshing with a flat gear on one side in the slidable slot. CONSTITUTION:An intermediate frame 2c to connect right and left frames 2a, 2b is provided. When a shelf 1 in a shelf mechanism is moved up or down, a dial 6a is turned, then a dial shaft 7 and a drive gear 8 are rotated, a rolling gear 9 which meshes with the drive gear 8 is rotated, a gear shaft 4 and flat gears 5 on both sides are rotated, and the flat gear 5 is moved while meshing with a rack 14b on the front side of a sliding slot 14a. At this time, the flat gears 5 on the right and left are fixed to the gear shaft 4 and rotated together so that the right and left sides of a frame 2, i.e. the shelf 1, are moved up and down in a same way without causing difference of height between both sides. Thus, the shelf 1 and the frame 2 can be moved vertically while being kept level.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To facilitate the receiving of food and permit the movement of a rack with comparatively small force by a method wherein the title device is equipped with a dial, connected to a driving device and provided at the front end of a frame, a sliding groove, sliding and retaining a sliding member, and a rack, meshed with a spar gear formed on one side in the sliding groove. CONSTITUTION:When a dial 6a is turned, spar gears 5 at both left and right ends are turned simultaneously by a driving device 6 rotating the spar gears 5 or a gear shaft 7 whereby a rack can be moved up-and-down. Accordingly, the rack 1 and a frame 2 can be moved up-and-down while being kept horizontally by spar gears, moving up-and-down simultaneously on the left and right racks 14b. According to this method, a sliding member 3, moved up-and-down in the same sliding groove 14a, can be slid smoothly without being slanted obliquely whereby the operating force of a dial 6a, provided at the front end of a frame, can be small. Further, the sliding member is constituted of rollers whereby the rollers are turned in the sliding groove 14a and smooth movement of the rack 1 or the operation of the dial by single hand can be effected easily with a small force and, at the same time, food can be received simply into the right end easily by the other hand.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To prevent shelves in a refrigerator from being slanted left and right by providing a driving device housed in any of left and right frames for rotating a gear and a gear shaft, and a rail including a guide surface disposed slantingly on left and right walls in the refrigerator for guiding a slide member and a rack surface for allowing a spur gear to roll thereon. CONSTITUTION:Spur gears 5 located at left and right ends are simultaneously rotated by a driving device 6 for rotating a gear shaft 4 or the spur gears 5 to move a rack vertically. Hereby, a shelf 1 and a frame 2 are vertically smoothly rotated on the left and right racks to permit a slide member 3 moving vertically on a guide surface 14a to be smoothly slid without being slanted.
