  • Patent number: 8438866
    Abstract: A defroster is provided in a refrigerator, in which a damper mounted to an inlet to a circulating duct controls air to flow in a reverse direction toward an evaporator to maximize a defrosting efficiency by using not only radiant heat but also convective heat. The defroster includes the evaporator, a heater that defrosts the evaporator by radiation, and a flow controller that controls air circulated by a fan to flow in a reverse direction toward the evaporator in defrosting.

  • Patent number: 8083106
    Abstract: A refrigerator includes an ice dispenser with a duct cap for opening and closing an ice duct of the dispenser. A user operated lever is operably coupled to both the duct cap, and a joint member. A frictional member is disposed to come in frictional contact with the joint member as the duct cap moves between open and closed position. An elastic member elastically supports the joint member with respect to the lever. The closing operation of the duct cap is delayed by using a frictional force developed between the joint member and the frictional member.

  • Patent number: 7841493
    Abstract: A dispenser for a refrigerator is provided. The dispenser may include a cover which opens or shuts an opening of a duct that guides contents from an interior of the refrigerator to the dispenser for discharge. An actuator transmits an externally applied force to the cover to cause the cover to move and selectively open and shut the opening. A regulator controls action of the actuator to adjust movement of the cover.

  • Patent number: 7823755
    Abstract: A refrigerator is provided which includes a duct cap disposed so as to open and close an ice duct formed in the refrigerator, an opening and closing device connected so as to open and close the duct cap, and a damper connected to one of the duct cap and the opening and closing device such that a closing operation of the duct cap is delayed. The opening and closing device allows the duct cap to be manually opened and closed, and the damper is interlocked with the opening and closing device so as to delay a closing operation of the duct cap. With this structure, cost may be reduced and noise and/or vibration minimized, compared with mechanisms with the closing operation of the duct cap delayed using electric driving parts, such as solenoids.

  • Publication number: 20100147002
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a defroster, and more particularly, to a defroster in a refrigerator in which a damper mounted to an inlet to a circulating duct (60) controls air to flow in a reverse direction toward an evaporator (20) for maximizing defrosting efficiency by using not only radiant heat but also convective heat. For this, the defroster in a refrigerator includes an evaporator (20), a heater (10) for defrosting the evaporator (20) by radiation, and flow control means (50) for controlling air circulated by a fan (30) to flow in a reverse direction toward the evaporator (20) in the defrosting.

  • Patent number: 7673469
    Abstract: A refrigerator with an ice dispenser includes a spiral type time delay unit for controlling the opening and closing of an ice duct. A duct cap opens and closes an ice duct formed in the refrigerator. A rotating shaft of the time delay unit is operably connected to the duct cap. Foldaway catching members on a rotating shaft intersect with a threaded cylindrical body. The catching members fold back to allow a quick opening of the ice duct. The catching members then interact with the threaded cylindrical body as the ice duct closes to delay the closing process.

  • Publication number: 20090058244
    Abstract: A refrigerator including an outer case and an inner case arranged to define a body of a refrigerator; and an electric wire piping assembly to perform power supply and/or transmission of electric signals, the electric wire piping assembly provided along a predetermined path to prevent a thickness of a heat insulating material, that is filled between the inner case and the outer case, from being reduced. The electric wire piping assembly provided in the case of the refrigerator according to the present invention is disposed along the predetermined path not to reduce the thickness of the heat insulating material. As a result, the deterioration of heat insulation efficiency and the formation of drops on the refrigerator may be prevented.
