DAMPER AND HOME-BAR DOOR APPARATUS FOR REFRIGERATOR USING THE SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to a home-bar door apparatus for a refrigerator. The home-bar door apparatus includes a home-bar door (30) that selectively opens or closes an opening (22) formed in a home-bar frame (20) and has rotational shafts (34) protruding at both sides of a lower portion thereof and a catching step (35) formed along a lower end thereof, dampers (36) that is installed on a rear face of the home-bar frame (20) and controls an opening/closing speed of the home-bar door (30) by receiving the rotational shafts (34) of the home-bar door (30) therein so that the rotational shafts (34) of the home-bar door (30) can be relatively rotated, and a stop rib (26) that is formed laterally along a lower end of a groove (23) formed around a periphery of the opening (22) and has stopping steps (27) formed at positions corresponding to both ends of a catching step (35) of the home-bar door (30) so that the catching step (35) can be caught by the stopping steps. The home-bar door apparatus for a refrigerator according to the present invention constructed as such has advantages in that the dampers can be more securely installed and the stopping structures for regulating the degree of opening of the home-bar door are positioned at the both ends of the home-bar door so that the center of rotation of the home-bar door can be securely maintained.
