Abstract: PURPOSE:To simplify the assembling of a transparent door body and improve the decorative property of a refrigerator by a method wherein an outer plate, consisting of a transparent material, is extended and curved integrally from the front surface to the side surface of the refrigerator and the part except the visible range of the inside of the refrigerator is applied with copaque process while the plate is laminated to obtain the transparent visible range. CONSTITUTION:An outer plate 13 is extended and curved integrally from the front surface of a door 12 to a side surface whereat a sash 14, formed by extrusion molding so as to have a U-shape groove for attaching a gasket 11 for sealing the inside of a refrigerator thereto, is positioned. A plurality of sealed spaces 4 is formed by a transparent plate 17, consisting of a transparent glass plate or a transparent resin plate, a frame 15 for fixing laminated sheets and spacers 3 for regulating spaces, as a heat insulating layer. The front surface side of the frame 15 is abutted against the inner surface 16 of the outer plate 13 while the rear surface side of the same is abutted against an inner plate 8 provided with a notch 7. The inner surface 16 of the outer plate 13 is applied with copaque process by the coating of colored coating, the lamination of colored films or the like in a range (c) at the outside of a vissible range (b) narrower than the vissible ranges of the abutting parts of the sash 14, a heat insulating member 10, the frame 15 for fixing lamination and the frame 15 for fixing the lamination.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To prevent the rightward or leftward inclination of a shelf, to move the shelf by a relatively small force and to eliminate disturbance of entrance of food in a lower part by forming of upper and lower rollers fixed to left and right innermost parts of a frame, and so disposing the upper roller as to be brought into contact with this side of a slide groove and the lower roller as to be brought into contact with the innermost side face of the groove under the upper roller. CONSTITUTION:An upper roller 3a, a lower roller 3b and a spur gear 5 are disposed in the innermost part of a frame 2. Accordingly, the larger a load to be applied to a shelf 1 is increased, better the roller 3a is brought into contact with this face of a slide groove 14a, and the stronger the roller 3b is brought into contact with the innermost side face of the groove 14a. Since the gear 5 is strongly engaged with a rack 14b so that their rotary frictional force is increased, the frame 2 for holding the shelf 1 is tightly held at its position to eliminate dropping, lateral inclination of the shelf 1. A large force is not required to move the shelf 1 while placing food on the shelf 1, and the shelf 1 is not inclined.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To free a rack from excessive tilting and make it movable with ease by a mechanism in which an upper roller and lower roller attached to a frame for holding a rack at inmost positions at the right and the left are fitted in and held by vertical sliding grooves and gears and stoppers are provided to the frame and racks for the gears inside the refrigerator. CONSTITUTION:An upper roller 3a and a lower roller 3b are attached at an inmost position to a frame 2 for holding a rack and rolled and held in a vertical sliding groove 13a inside a refrigerator. The two rollers are put out of alignment, the upper roller 3a drawn slightly to the front and the lower roller 3b pushed slightly to the back. To the frame 2 are provided a gear 5 meshing with a rack 14 set vertically inside the refrigerator and a stopper 7 engaging with a ratchet 6. By pulling a wire 12 the stopper is put out of engagement so that the upper and lower rollers roll to vertically move with ease. After the movement, the rollers are held securely with the upper roller on the front side of the sliding groove and the lower roller on the back side; this confinement within the breadth of the sliding groove does not allow the rack to tilt excessively.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To centralize food storage places, and to preserve food for a long time period by keeping the inside of a storage dry, by a method wherein a refrigerator and a storage consisting of a refrigerating cycle, a fan and a temperature controller are installed side by side. CONSTITUTION:A refrigerator 1 and a storage 11 coincide with each other in their outside dimensions, height and depth, and are connected by joint plates 35 and screws 36. The storage 11 is also provided with a refrigerating cycle consisting of a compressor 16, an evaporator 17, a condenser and a pressure reducer, and a fan 18. When cold air cooled by the evaporator 17 is sent to compartments 12, 13 and 14, the air flow rate of the fan 18 is reduced compared with conventional freezer-refrigerators having the same capacity, and the surface area of the evaporator 17 is adjusted so that the temperature difference between the surface temperature of the evaporator and each compartment temperature (10-15 deg.C) is kept within a range of 20-30 deg.C. That is, the surface temperature of the evaporator 17 is constantly maintained below 0 deg.C, and the moisture in each compartment is frosted so as to keep the inside of the compartments dry steadily. The temperature of each compartment is maintained at 10-15 deg.C by controlling the compressor 16 and the fan 18 by a temperature detector 20 installed in the upper compartment 12.
