DEVICE FOR SEPARATING SIDE GASKET OF REFRIGERATOR

摘要

A gasket separating device for refrigerator doors is provided to separate gasket assembles mounted to doors from each other in association with opening of one of the doors, thereby minimizing intereference between the gasket assemblies and opening the doors easily. A gasket separating device for refrigerator doors includes a plurality of doors(35L,35R) connected to a main body of the refrigerator by hinge parts, and a plurality of gasket assemblies(50) mounted to the doors for sealing a gap between the doors. An association separation unit(60) is mounted between the gasket assemblies and the main body. The association separation unit moves in association with the movement of one of the gasket assemblies, of which door is opened, so that the other one is separated from the one. The association separation unit has racks(61), pinion sets(63) engaged with the racks to transmit rotation force, and association levers(66) engaged with the pinion sets to move rectilinearly in the right and left direction of the main body.
