Abstract: A door basket for a refrigerator is provided that includes a fixed casing portion and a pivotable accommodation portion. The fixed casing portion includes a predetermined seating space opened upward and forward and is formed to extend from side to side and be fixed horizontally to a door liner. The pivotable accommodation portion includes a predetermined accommodation space opened upward is pivotably installed to the fixed casing portion, and is formed to extend from side to side. A lower surface of the pivotable accommodation portion is supported on a bottom surface of the fixed casing portion in a state in which food is accommodated in the accommodation space. Both the fixing casing portion and the pivotable accommodation portion may be formed by injection molding. With such structure, the door basket for a refrigerator may be manufactured at reduced cost, prevent accommodated foods from hindering pivoting thereof, be easily manufactured and installed, and be freely adjusted in installation height.

Abstract: A mounting structure of a door basket for a refrigerator is provided. The mounting structure includes a door liner, which defines a rear surface of a door and includes at least one slot that is formed from side to side by recessing a portion of an outer surface of the door liner, a slot cover configured to protect at least one outward projection, which is formed on a rear surface of the door liner by forming the slot, from a pressure of foam for forming an insulating layer, and a door basket, in which a storage space is formed, and which is provided with at least one mounting projection which is inserted into the slot and then slides from side to side. Since the slot cover prevents the slot from being deformed during a foaming process for forming the isolating layer within the door, it is possible to reduce the defective rate of the product and to minimize a thickness of the door liner, which makes it possible to reduce production costs.
