The present invention relates to a refrigerator door pocket, and in particular, to easily mount a holder for supporting the wire pocket portion which can be inclined forward to easily insert an object into the refrigerator door pocket without large structural changes in the door, the combination of the pocket portion and the holder It is directed to a door pocket of an improved structure to simplify the structure and simplify the assembly.

In general, a pocket is formed inside the door of the refrigerator to store cans or beverage containers, and such a pocket is integrally molded with a plastic material and mounted on the inside, or made of wire and tilted so that the user can easily To be placed in or out of the pocket.

Thus, various types of refrigerator door pockets may be mounted in response to the demands of the refrigerators. In particular, in the case of a structure in which the pockets are tilted and an integrated pocket for fixing the pockets to the inside, Since the structure is also inevitably changed, thereby resulting in a change in the shape of the inner phase, there is a problem that the mold cost for forming the inner wound of the changed structure is excessive, resulting in an increase in the manufacturing cost of the refrigerator.

In contrast, the present inventors incline to mount a wire pocket that can be selectively inclined while maintaining a pocket coupling structure in which the pocket is fixed to the inside of the door in order to minimize mold cost due to the structural change of the inside of the door according to the refrigerator door pocket. We have developed a door pocket of a structure having a support that can be coupled to both sides of a possible wire pocket portion and can be fixedly coupled to the inside of the door, such a door pocket of the present invention is shown in FIG.

 The door pocket 1 shown in FIG. 1 has a holder 3 on both sides of a structure that is coupled to and fixed to both side walls of the lower part of the door inner box 2, and a pivot is inserted into the support portion to be rotatably mounted. It comprises a wire pocket portion 5 is formed with a pocket to accommodate the, and the support member 6 is coupled to each of the holders (3) and both ends are coupled to each other to connect and support both sides support each other.

However, such door pockets have a holder structure on both sides thereof as in the fixed door pocket, and a tiltable wire pocket portion can be coupled to both holders 3 so that a so-called tilt pocket can be mounted. Although the fixed integral door pocket and tilt pocket can be mounted together without changing the inner structure of the door, there is an advantage of minimizing the mold cost of the inner door according to the pocket, but both holders and both holders produced separately from the wire pocket part The number of parts, such as the support member to connect integrally by coupling the assembly takes a lot of time and there was a problem that the production of parts separately management.

Therefore, the present invention can be universally mounted to the door inner box to which the integrated door pocket made of plastic material is applied, so that the structure of the door inner box does not need to be changed according to the type of pocket provided on the inside of the refrigerator door. An object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerator door pocket having an improved structure so that the holders of both sides are rotatably integrated to support the inclined wire pocket part so that the assembly of the door pocket can be easily performed.

Refrigerator door pocket for achieving the above object is a wire pocket portion formed by bending the wire, the holder of the two sides and the holders on both sides which are rotatably supported on both sides of the inside of the door and rotatably support the pocket portion on both sides of the pocket portion And a pocket support having a bottom portion and a rear wall seated at the bottom of the bottom portion of the inner door.

The holder on both sides of the door pocket support is formed with a hole for rotatably supporting by inserting hinge pins protruding from both sides of the wire pocket portion, and the rotation angle of the pocket portion to rotate the wire pocket portion within a certain angle range forward. It is preferable that the restricting protrusion is formed inside the holder.

In addition, in order to mount the pocket support on the inside of the door, the holder has ribs formed on an outer side thereof, and two protrusions are formed to protrude on the side wall of the lower portion of the inside of the door so that the ribs are engaged with each other.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings showing an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail the present invention.

2 shows the door pocket 10 according to the present invention mounted on the refrigerator door 11, and the door pocket of the present invention is a wire pocket part 12 formed by bending a wire, and on both sides of the pocket part. Rotatingly supporting the pocket part and connecting the holders 20 on both sides fixedly engaged with both side walls 14 of the inner wall of the door 13 and their holders, and the bottom part 21 seated on the bottom of the lower end of the inner door of the door. And a pocket support (30) having a back wall (22).

The pocket 12 has a structure in which a horizontal member and a vertical member intersect in a frame formed by bending wires in a basket shape and are joined to each other by welding to the frame. The object can be accommodated.

The holder 20 on both sides of the door pocket support 30 according to the present invention is formed with a hole 15 for rotatably supporting the hinge pin 13 protruding from both sides of the wire pocket portion 12, A locking projection 16 is formed to allow the wire pocket to be rotated forward within a certain angle range.

As a result, when the wire pocket is inclined forward, the wires 17 at both ends are caught by the locking protrusion 16 so that the wire pocket can be rotated within an angle range that is convenient for the user to put or unload the article. In addition, the lower portion of the wire pocket 12 is seated and supported on the bottom 21 of the pocket support 30.

Each of the holders 20 has ribs 25 formed on the side thereof as clearly shown in FIG. 3, and the ribs have two protrusions 26 protruding from the side wall of the lower portion of the inner door of the door as shown in FIG. 4. It is supported so as not to move with respect to the front-back direction by being sandwiched between them.

Since the coupling structure of the ribs of the holder 20 and the protrusions 26 on the inner side wall of the door may be used as the inner structure of the integral pocket of plastic material, the shape of the door pocket, that is, the inclined pocket and the fixed integral type Since it can be used universally in the pocket is no need to change the shape of the inner wound according to the type of the door pocket there is no problem due to the burden of excessive mold cost due to the shape change of the inner wound for the conventional door pocket.

According to the present invention, a refrigerator door pocket, a pocket portion formed by bending a wire, and holders on which the hinge pins of the pocket portion are inserted on both sides thereof to pivotally support the pocket portion are integrated by the bottom portion and the rear wall, and the pocket portion is bottom portion. And the ribs protrude from the outer surface of the holder to fit between two protrusions formed on the lower side of the inner side of the door, thereby making it possible to universally integrate the integral pocket as well as the inclined wire pocket without changing the shape of the inner side of the refrigerator door. Since it can be used, the problem caused by the increase in manufacturing cost due to the change of the shape of the inner box according to the type of the refrigerator door pocket is not generated, and the assembly parts of the wire pockets are reduced, so that the cost of parts can be reduced and the efficiency of the assembly work can be achieved. It works.
