DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS As described above, a case is provided in a pocket in a door inner plate of a refrigerator so as to be removably mountable in both front and rear, so that large and small articles can be arranged in front and rear. A refrigerator door storage device that can be freely replaced, facilitates taking in and out of articles, and improves article storage capacity.

[0008]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the door opening of the refrigerator, and FIG.
FIG. 2B and FIG. 3 are an enlarged side sectional view and a perspective view of an essential part for explaining a first embodiment of the present invention.
In FIG. 2B, small articles are arranged in a front row, and small articles are arranged in a rear row. In the figure, 1 is a refrigerator body, 2 is a refrigerator room of the refrigerator body 1, 3 is a door for opening and closing the refrigerator room 2, 4 is a door inner plate provided behind the door 3, and 5 is a left and right side of the door inner plate 4. It is provided between the vertical peripheral edges 4a, 4b parallel to each other and the horizontal support 4c, which extends in the horizontal direction between the vertical peripheral edges 4a, 4b. Both sides are supported by the vertical peripheral edges 4a, 4b, and the lower part is horizontally supported. A pocket made of synthetic resin, which is supported by the portion 4c, protrudes inward of the refrigerator, and is open at the top and back, is used to store relatively large and heavy articles such as bottles. This is a case made of a synthetic resin that can be removably mounted on the pocket 5 in either front or rear so that the arrangement of the front and rear can be freely changed.

A front support portion 5a and a rear support portion 5b are formed in front and rear of the left and right walls of the pocket 5 so as to protrude inward from the left and right walls, respectively. The left and right outer walls are formed with inverted U-shaped locking portions 6a projecting outwardly, each having a lower opening corresponding to the front support portion 5a and the rear support portion 5b.
