  • Patent number: 8015839
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a cool air supply structure of a storage receptacle for a refrigerator. The present invention comprises one or more box casings detachably installed in a refrigerating chamber, each box casing having a mounting space and a channel through which cool air flows, the cool air being supplied from a cool air supply source through a cool air supply port formed in a side surface of the refrigerating chamber; and one or more storage receptacles, each storage receptacle being withdrawably installed in the mounting space, wherein food accommodated in an accommodation space provided in the storage receptacle is indirectly cooled by the cool air that flows through the channel. According to the present invention, there is an advantageous effect in that the food accommodated in a plurality of storage receptacles can be stored to be fresher by indirectly cooling the food and simultaneously the supply of cool air can be controlled depending on the use or not of the storage receptacles.
