A hinge for a refrigerator is disclosed. The hinge device for a refrigerator, which fastens a door thereto to open/close a storage space formed therein, includes a case having a side opened to define an exterior thereof, a case cap fastened to the case to close the opened side of the case, a rotation shaft provided within the case, the rotation shaft fastened to a side of the door to rotate together with the door, a clutch protrusion that projects outwardly from a lateral surface of the rotation shaft to have a predetermined curvature, and a clutch ring mounted within the case cap. The clutch ring is made of an elastic material and selectively contacts with the clutch protrusion to supply elasticity to the rotation shaft during the rotation thereof. The hinge device can damp an auto-closing section for closing a door of a refrigerator automatically. |
