Then, the upper container 69 is farther lowered while being shifted toward the back of the refrigerator until the fastening portion 81a fits in the opening 82c.
  • the fastening portion 81a and the opening 82c are almost identical in depth so that they interlock without backlash therebetween.
  • the upper container 69 cannot be removed easily only by lifting the rear part of the upper container 69 as illustrated in FIG. 7A because the projection portions 81c of the locking members 81 in the rear part are locked on the upper end of the openings 82c (the upper ends of the holed portions 69b) of the reinforcing members 82.
  • the upper container 69 cannot be removed easily only by lifting the front part of the upper container 69 as illustrated in FIG. 7B because the projection portions 81c of the locking members 81 in the front part are locked on the upper end of the openings 82c (the upper ends of the holed portions 69b) of the reinforcing members 82.
  • the upper container 69 can be removed from the movable rails 80b when the upper container 69 is fully open by lifting the front and rear parts of the upper container 69 at one time (in other words, lifting the upper container 69 while keeping it horizontal) and shifting the upper container 69 in the direction of the front part when the opening 82c is at a level corresponding to the riser portion 81b, and then farther lifting the upper container 69.
  • the upper container 69 is then ready to be cleaned.
  • the rail 80 and the locking member 81 made of metal provide rigidity.

  • This configuration prevents the upper container 69 from cracking and breaking due to contact with a metallic member. In this configuration, breakage or the like of the upper container 69 due to strength of the upper container 69 made of plastic and fastening to the rails 80 made of metal is reliably prevented.
  • the upper container 69 and the movable rails 80b are coupled with each other by fastening the locking members 81 to the holed portions 69b via the reinforcing members 82.
  • the upper container 69 made of transparent plastic having higher hardness and locking members 81 made of metal are fastened to each other via the reinforcing members 82 made of plastic having lower hardness, so that the transparent upper container 69 can be prevented from breaking and cracking. As a result, reliability for back-and-forth motion can be secured.
  • Strength of the holed portions 69b can be farther increased by providing each of the holed portions 69b between two adjacent ones of the flange reinforcement ribs 69c to reinforce the peripheral portions of the holed portions 69b.
  • the present invention is applicable to a home-use refrigerator and a commercial-use refrigerator.
