Patent number: 7637119Abstract: In the related art refrigerator, its structure for supplying water to a dispenser and water tank was complicated. In addition, since an icemaker is installed in a refrigerating chamber of the refrigerator, there is a problem in that the water supplied into the icemaker is frozen. Furthermore, if the icemaker is installed in the freezing chamber of the refrigerator in which the refrigerating chamber is formed at a lower portion thereof and a refrigerating chamber is formed at an upper portion thereof, there is another problem in that it is difficult to control the temperature in the refrigerating chamber or ice-making capability of the icemaker is lowered. The present invention is directed to a refrigerator.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2008Date of Patent: December 29, 2009Assignee: LG Electronics Inc.Inventors: Ill-Shin Kim, Seon-Il Yu, Kun-Jun Seok, Yong-Chol Kwon

Patent number: 7591516Abstract: A door apparatus for a drawer for a drawer type refrigerator where the drawer is slidably coupled to a main body of the refrigerator is provided. The door apparatus includes a door with a thermally isolating layer, and a frame that moves simultaneously with the door and which provides a storage space for accommodating stored goods. The door is rotatably coupled to a front end of the frame, thus allowing the door to rotate through a predetermined angle with respect to the frame. An amount of rotation of the door with respect to the frame may be selectively limited to utilize a tilting function of the door and to provide access to goods in the storage space.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2007Date of Patent: September 22, 2009Assignee: LG Electronics Inc.Inventors: Young-Nam Kim, Jee-Suck Lee, Ju-Hwan Kim, Seon-Il Yu, Seon-Kyu Kim, Kun-Jun Seok
