GUIDES OF SLIDING SHELVES FOR REFRIGERATORS

摘要

This application concerns guides of sliding shelves for refrigerators, no-ticeably those employed in the freezing compartment, referred to as "freezer", which provide guidance to the displacement of shelves along two rails of lateral direction, which enable hiding, coupling and collapsing of the shelves, freeing internal space in the refrigerator for other uses. Such lateral guidance rails are located in the internal case of the refrigerator and are individual for each shelf. The rail of the front shelf extends under the rear shelf, so as to induce the displacement of the front shelf under the rear shelf, performing the grouping of the shelves by coupling them through a back fitting. Thus, the conformation of the inferior rail allows the front shelf, now allocated below the rear shelf, to couple to the superior shelf and, together are collapsed to a vertical position, occupying a significantly smaller space and allowing to allocate the shelves in three distinct posi-tions, being extended, retracted and collapsed.
