  • Publication number: 20180080705
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a liquid dispenser for a refrigerator. According to some embodiments, the liquid dispenser includes a liquid discharge unit including a nozzle through which liquid received in the liquid dispenser is discharged, and a lever that opens and closes the nozzle based on whether the lever is pressed or not. A liquid receiving unit receives the liquid discharged from the liquid discharge unit, and a support unit allows the liquid receiving unit to be positioned to press the lever based on the weight of liquid in the liquid receiving unit. A damper may be used to stably seat the receiving unit and reduce or eliminate noise generated when liquid flows to the liquid receiving unit.

  • Publication number: 20170292766
    Abstract: A refrigerator is disclosed, where the flow of the cold air is selectively controlled to keep the internal temperature and humidity of a produce box relatively constant. The relatively constant internal temperature and humidity of the produce box is advantageous for optimally maintaining the freshness of produce stored within the produce box. The refrigerator includes a refrigerator main body forming an outer shell of the refrigerator, a cold air generation unit configured to generate a cold air required within the refrigerator main body, a produce storage unit configured to accommodate a produce box, a cold air circulation module configured to supply the cold air to the produce box, and a closing mechanism configured to selectively discharge the cold air existing within the produce box.
