Rail device and refrigerator using the same

摘要

A refrigerator with a rail device having a bracket which is fixed to an inner surface of an inner box, and first, second and third rails which are arranged in such a manner that longitudinal directions are identical and have an elongated shape, and supporting a storage container so as to be movable forward and backward. The second rail has flanges protruding right and left in upper and lower sides in the longitudinal direction, the lower flange is held to the first rail so as to be movable in the longitudinal direction, the first rail is bonded to the bracket, and has flanges extended to a height beyond the lower flange of the second rail in right and left sides in the longitudinal direction, and the third rail holds the flange on the second rail so as to be movable in the longitudinal direction.

主权项

1. A refrigerator comprising:
a heat insulated box formed by an inner box, an outer box and a foam heat insulator filled between the inner box and the outer box; a drawer type storage room, and a fixing member having an upper vertically extending portion extending upwardly from a middle portion, a lower vertically extending portion extending downwardly from the middle portion, wherein the lower vertically extending portion is substantially parallel with the upper vertically extending portion such that the lower vertically extending portion is entirely below the upper vertically extending portion, the upper vertically extending portion having an upper terminal end and the lower vertically extending portion having a lower terminal end, wherein the upper vertically extending portion is fixed to an inner surface of the inner box, and the lower terminal end faces downward, wherein a rail device, which is formed in an elongated shape and attached to the fixing member, has a first rail, a second rail and a third rail, and supports a storage container on the third rail so as to be movable forward and backward, is provided within the storage room, the lower vertically extending portion and the lower terminal are positioned on one side of the rail device, the lower vertically extending portion includes a first vertically oriented side surface fixed to the first rail and a second vertically oriented side surface opposite the first vertically oriented side surface, facing away from the rail device, and spaced horizontally from the inner surface of the inner box, and the lower terminal end extends between the first vertically oriented side surface and the second vertically oriented side surface, wherein the lower terminal end of the fixing member is located at substantially the same height as a bottom surface of the first rail along an entire length of the fixing member in a longitudinal direction of the elongated shape of the rail device.
