  • Patent number: 7665324
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a door duct assembly for a refrigerator. In the present invention, the cold air delivered from a cold air duct of a refrigerator main body to a door 30 through a cold air communication portion 55 is discharged into a storage space through cold air vents 61 formed in a flow guide 60. The cold air communication portion 55 is formed in a door basket 40 or the flow guide 60. The door baskets 40 or the flow guide 60 is mounted on a door liner 33 defining a rear surface of the door 30. According to the present invention, there are advantages in that it is relatively easy to manufacture a door, the cold air flows uniformly in the door, the strength of the flow guide for defining a flow channel in the door is relatively increased, and dewdrops are prevented from being formed upstream of the flow channel.

  • Publication number: 20090033191
    Abstract: The present embodiment relates to a refrigerator, and more specifically to a refrigerator capable of effectively receiving various kinds of foods in the inside of a basket by selectively shielding a door basket provided at a rear of a refrigerator door and providing a basket cover selectively fixed to an upper end of the door basket or the rear of the door. The refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a main body formed with a storage chamber; a door rotatably coupled with the main body; and a door basket mounted on the door, the door basket including a basket main body storing stores and a basket cover rotatably coupled with one side of the basket main body and fixed to any one of the basket main body and the door. With the refrigerator configured as above, the utility of the door basket of the refrigerator is increased.

  • Patent number: 7316326
    Abstract: A tray apparatus for a refrigerator is provided which optimizes the use of storage space in the refrigerator. A position of the tray within a storage space of the refrigerator is varied through the use of elastic means which moves the tray toward an upper surface of the storage space as an article is stored thereon. The tray is supported by supporting links which are then connected through interlocking links so that they are integrally pivoted. The link mechanisms are supported on the upper surface of the storage space. Thus, a storage article with a relatively large bottom area can be easily stored in the vicinity of the upper surface of the storage space, which is usually out of use, thereby maximizing the use of the storage space in the refrigerator.

  • Publication number: 20050006995
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a tray apparatus for a refrigerator. The tray apparatus of the present invention is configured such that a tray 50 is brought into close contact with a ceiling surface c of a storage space by means of elastic forces from elastic members 90. The tray 50 is supported at front and rear positions of both sides thereof by means of supporting links 60 serving as components of link mechanisms and the supporting links 60 are then connected through interlocking links 80, so that they are integrally pivoted. The link mechanisms are supported on the ceiling surface c of the storage space by holders 100. According to the present invention, an article b with a relatively large bottom area can be easily stored in the vicinity of the ceiling surface of the storage space, which is usually out of use. Thus, there is an advantage in that space efficiency of the storage space can be enhanced.
