<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem that, in a refrigerator where a detachable water supply tube is bent because of shapes of the inside of a refrigerator and a cold air duct, water droplets remain on the inner face of the bent tube, and water stain is often generated by the water. <P>SOLUTION: This refrigerator comprises a foam heat insulating material 4 between an inner case 2 and an outer case 3, a refrigerating compartment 5 disposed in a main body, and the water supply tube 16 for supplying water from a water supply tank 9 disposed in the refrigerating compartment 5 to an automatic ice making device 15 disposed in an ice making compartment 7. The water supply tube detachable from the refrigerating compartment has a bellows shape on its bent portion, and a projecting and recessed portion of the bellows shape is formed into an R-shape, thus a function for preventing the water droplets from remaining in the water supply tube can be provided. Thus the refrigerator having the water supply tube capable of cleaning the inside of the tube only by allowing the water to flow therethrough can be provided without being affected by the shapes of the inside of refrigerator and a cold air duct. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT</p> |
