  • the sliding member 250 removably connected to the partition member 230 in the embodiment of FIG. 15 may be integrally formed with the partition member 230.
  • the partition unit 200 constructed into a single assembly as described above when the partition unit 200 constructed into a single assembly as described above is properly received in the storage space 101 of the extractable container 100, at least a part of the frame 210 may be covered by a cover member 300 connected to an upper circumference of the extractable container 100.
  • a seating part 107 may be formed at an inside of the vertical wall 105 extended upward from the circumference of the bottom surface 103, thereby forming the storage space 101 of the extractable container 100, so that the frame 210 of the partition unit 200 is supported and seated on the seating part 107.
  • the seating part 107 is protruded out from the inside of the vertical wall 105 of the extractable container 100 into a shape corresponding to the circumference of the frame 210, so as to support a lower surface of the frame 210 of the partition unit 200.
  • the partition unit 200 When the partition unit 200 is inserted from the upper part of the storage space 101 of the extractable container 100, the lower surface of the frame 210 is supported by the seating part 107. Accordingly, the partition unit 200 is safely supported in the storage space 101.
  • the cover member 300 may be connected to the upper circumference of the extractable container 100 to enclose part of the frame 210 as shown in FIG. 17 , in order to prevent the frame 210 seated on the seating part 107 from being exposed in the storage space 101 and also being separated from the extractable container 100.
  • the cover member 300 is shaped corresponding to the circumference of the extractable container 100, and therefore is force-fitted with the inside of the vertical wall 105 forming the storage space 101 of the extractable container 100.
  • the cover member 300 may be removably connected to the extractable container 100 through a dedicated connection member (not shown).
  • the frame 210 of the partition unit 200 is not exposed in the storage space 101, accordingly improving aesthetics.
  • the movement stability is improved since entrance of foreign substances to the guide members 270 guiding the movements of the slide members 250 is reduced.
  • the guide members 270 and the slide members 250 will be less likely to interfere with items stored in the storage space 101 due to the presence of the cover member 300. Therefore, damage of the items is reduced while further improving the space efficiency of the storage space 101.
  • a partition unit of an extractable container for a refrigerator may efficiently divide a storage space of the extractable container according to quantities of stored food, through a simple operation.
  • the user convenience is improved.
