  • the rear surfaces of the doors 22 and 32 are provided with one or more basket 15, wherein the basket 15 stores foods that are stored in a container having a long length, such as a bottle or a can.
  • one side of the rear surfaces of the doors 22 and 32 may be provided with a door basket 100 for storing dairy products.
  • a part of the upper part of the door basket 100 may be selectively opened and closed by the cover member. Foods stored inside the door basket 100 can avoid the direct contact with a cooling air by the cover member. Therefore, foods, which are stored inside the door basket 100 can avoid an excessively cooled phenomenon or an evaporation phenomenon of moisture.
  • the detailed structure of the door basket 100 will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing an external appearance of the door basket for the refrigerator according to the embodiment of the present invention
  • FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view showing the door basket for the refrigerator according to the embodiment of the present invention
  • FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line I-I of FIG. 2 .
  • the door basket 100 includes a case 120 that forms a receiving space 121, a cover 140 that selectively shields the receiving space 121, and coupling parts 160 that are formed at both sides of the cover 140.
  • the case 120 includes a base 124 that supports foods stored in the door basket 100 and a side wall 126 that is extended from both side ends of the base 124 to an upper part.
  • the side wall 126 is extended to the upper side, having a width occupying about a half of a width of a side surface of the base 124.
  • a front end of the side wall 126 is smoothly curved at a predetermined curvature.
  • the side surface of the case 120 other than the side wall 126 is inserted into the rear surface of the door for the refrigerator. In other words, the rear surface of the door for the refrigerator is collapsed at a predetermined depth and the side surface of the the case 120 other than the side wall 126 is received in a collapsed part.
  • the rear end part of the side surface 126 forms a vertical surface and is closely attached to an upper end of the rear surface of the door for the refrigerator and edges of both side ends thereof (see FIG. 1 ).
  • the rear surface of the case 120 and the side surface part other than the side wall 126 is closely attached to an inner circumferential surface of the collapsed part in the rear surface of the door for the refrigerator. Therefore, in a state where the cover 140 is closed, the storage space is formed by the cover 140, the base 124, and the rear surface of the door for the refrigerator.
  • the side surface part of the case 120 other than the part the side wall 126 is formed with the case mounting part 128.
  • the rear surface of the door for the refrigerator is formed with a protruding part coupled with the case mounting part 128.
  • the front end of the base 124 is formed with a sill protruded toward an upper side, thereby preventing the received foods from falling down.
  • any point of the side wall 126 is formed with a coupling hole 127 into which the coupling part 160 is inserted.
  • a cover hanging end 129 is extended in a horizontal direction. The cover hanging end 129 is interfered with one end of the cover 140, thereby limiting a rotational angle of the cover 140.
  • the cover 140 includes a lower surface and a rear surface, which takes in opened form, and a side surface part having the same form as the side wall 126. And, the cover 140 is made of a transparent or translucent material so as to able to easily recognize foods received in an inner side of the case 120 from the external.
  • the cover 140 forms an upper surface part 144 of the cover upper surface and a side surface part 146 of the cover. And, a rear end part of the cover 140 is closely attached to the upper end of the rear surface of the door for the refrigerator and the edges of both side surfaces thereof. And, the cover 140 can be rotated until the rear end part thereof contacts the cover hanging end 129.
  • the lower end of the front surface of the cover upper surface part 144 may be formed with a handle 145.
  • the handle 145 is formed so that a center of the lower end of the upper surface part 144 of the cover is protruded forward so as to able to grip the handle by user' fingers or the handle 145 may be mounted with a separate member for gripping it.
  • the coupling part 160 which is inserted into the coupling hole 127, is protruded from an outer circumferential surface of the side surface part 146 of the cover.
  • the coupling part 160 is formed of a hollow shape and the end part thereof is formed with a separation preventing means 161 that prevents the separation of the coupling part 160 after the coupling part 10 is inserted into the coupling hole 127.
  • the separation preventing means 161 includes a hanging protrusion 162 in a stripe form convexedly protruded in a radial direction from the end of the coupling part 160 and a cutting part and a cutting part 164 that divides the coupling part 160 into a plurality of pieces.
  • the cutting part 164 starts from any point spaced from an extension starting point of the coupling part 160 and is extended to the end of the coupling part 160. And, the cutting part 164 takes a form where a cutting width is increased as going to the end of the coupling part 160.
  • an outer diameter of the hanging protrusion 162 is formed to be larger than an inner diameter of the coupling hole 127, which prevents a phenomenon where the coupling part 160 is spontaneously separated from the coupling hole 127 after it is inserted into the coupling hole 127.
  • the coupling part 160 is formed of a plastic injection material having slight elastic force. Therefore, when a part of the hanging protrusion 162 is inserted into the coupling hole 127, pieces forming the coupling part 160 is bent in a central direction of the coupling part 160. In other words, an outer diameter of the end of the coupling part 160 becomes narrower and narrower as an interval of the cutting part 160 becomes narrow.
  • the coupling part 160 when the coupling part 160 is completely inserted into the coupling hole 127, the outer diameter of the end of the coupling part 160 is again expanded while the pieces forming the coupling part 160 is returned to an original state. Then, the hanging protrusion 162 penetrates through the coupling hole 127 and is then hung to the outer circumferential surface of the side wall 126.
  • the outer circumferential surface of the coupling part 160 contacting the inner circumferential surface of the coupling hole 127 may be formed with a guide groove 166.
  • the inner circumferential surface of the coupling hole 127 is inserted into the guide groove 166, such that when the cover 140 is rotated, the shaking of the cover in the left and right directions can be prevented.
  • the coupling part 160 formed at both sides of the case 120 is inserted into the coupling hole 127 formed at the side wall 126.
  • the hanging protrusion 162 having a larger diameter than the coupling hole 127 is forcibly inserted into the coupling hole 127.
  • the coupling part 160 is shrunk by the cutting part 164 formed by cutting a part of the coupling part 160 and then, when the coupling part 160 is completely inserted into the coupling hole 127, it is spread, such that the coupling part 160 is firmly coupled with coupling hole 127 so as not to be separated from the coupling hole.
  • the cover 140 is firmly coupled with the case 140, which prevents the cover 140 from moving and/or separated left and right.
  • the outer circumferential surface of the coupling part 160 is formed with the guide groove 160 and the inner circumferential surface of the coupling hole 127 is received in the guide groove 160, such that the cover 140 can be rotated without the shaking.
