Abstract

A rack is provided for a refrigeration appliance. The rack includes a first support frame and a second support frame. The second support frame can move between a first position and a second position, and when the second support frame is at the first position, the first support frame and the second support frame form an accommodating portion extending from the first support frame to the second support frame and adapted to accommodating a bottle body in a lying state. When the second support frame moves to the second position, the second support frame supports a bottle neck located above the first support frame and is adapted to support the bottle body with a supporting portion supporting the bottle body in a tilted state.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A rack, comprising:
a first support frame;
a second support frame, said second support frame being moved between a first position and a second position, and when said second support frame is in the first position, said first support frame and said second support frame forming an accommodating portion extending from said first support frame to said second support frame and adapted to accommodating a bottle body in a lying state;
when said second support frame is in the second position, said second support frame being provided with a bottle neck of the bottle body disposed above said first support frame and is adapted to supporting the bottle body, said second support frame having a supporting portion supporting the bottle body in a tilted state;
a frame body, said first support frame being fixed into said frame body, and said second support frame being rotatably connected to said frame body;
a positioning apparatus for fixing said second support frame to the second position;
a revolving shaft, said second support frame is connected to said frame body by said revolving shaft; and
said positioning apparatus is a nut for controlling said revolving shaft to rotate, and rotation of said revolving shaft is controlled by fastening or unfastening said nut, such that said second support frame is maintained at the first position or the second position.

2. The rack according to claim 1 , wherein:
when said second support frame is at the first position, said second support frame is parallel to a horizontal plane; and
when the second support frame is at the second position, the second support frame is vertical to the first support frame or forms an angle smaller than 90 degrees with the first support frame.

3. The rack according to claim 1 , wherein said first support frame and said second support frame are disposed in a front-rear arrangement, and said supporting portion is disposed at a first end of said second support frame, adjacent to said first support frame.

4. The rack according to claim 1 , wherein when said second support frame is at the first position, a first end of said first support frame is adjacent to or connected to a first end of said second support frame.

5. The rack according to claim 1 , wherein said first support frame has a first end with a support block lower than said accommodating portion, to support a first end of said second support frame at the first position.

6. The rack according to claim 1 , wherein said supporting portion has a groove formed therein and disposed at a first end of said second support frame to be adapted to supporting the bottle neck of the bottle body.

7. A refrigeration appliance, comprising:
the rack according to claim 1 .

8. A rack, comprising:
a first support frame;
a second support frame, said second support frame being moved between a first position and a second position, and when said second support frame is in the first position, said first support frame and said second support frame forming an accommodating portion extending from said first support frame to said second support frame and adapted to accommodating a bottle body in a lying state;
when said second support frame is in the second position, said second support frame being provided with a bottle neck of the bottle body disposed above said first support frame and is adapted to supporting the bottle body, said second support frame having a supporting portion supporting the bottle body in a tilted state;
a frame body, said first support frame being fixed into said frame body, and said second support frame being rotatably connected to said frame body;
a positioning apparatus for fixing said second support frame to the second position;
a revolving shaft, said second support frame is connected to said frame body by said revolving shaft; and
said positioning apparatus is a turning member rotatably installed on said frame body, when said second support frame is at the first position, said turning member is disposed below said second support frame; and
when said second support frame is turned to the second position, said turning member moves upwards and supports said second support frame to maintain said second support frame at the second position.

9. The rack according to claim 8 , wherein said turning member has a rotating shaft disposed between a first end of said second support frame at the first position and said revolving shaft.
