Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement of a handle device attached to the front surface of a door body of a refrigerator.

[Prior art]

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the handle bases of the freezer compartment door 3 and refrigerator compartment door 4 of the conventional two-door refrigerator 1 and three-door refrigerator 2 have a thickness dimension by using a handle body 12 in common. Because they had the same external shape with the same image,
Even in refrigerators with different numbers of doors, the exterior design of the handle base is limited, and it is not possible to introduce the exterior design of the handle base unique to two-door and three-door refrigerators, which impairs the exterior commercial value of the refrigerator as a whole.

[Summary of the idea]

The present invention can be applied to refrigerators having different design shapes with different thicknesses of handle bases depending on the model. It is an object of the present invention to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks by using the same handle body provided with a pawl portion in which a mounting portion is integrally formed.

[Example of idea]

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on illustrated embodiments. 1 is a two-door refrigerator body, 2 is a three-door refrigerator body, 3, 4, and 5 are airtight for the front openings of the refrigerator bodies 1 and 2, respectively. These are a freezer compartment door, a refrigerator compartment door, and a vegetable compartment door that are arranged to cover the refrigerator compartment door. Reference numeral 6 denotes a door outer plate having a thickness F that forms the outside of each of the doors 3, 4, and 5. A square hole 7 is integrally formed in the door outer plate 6, and the inside thereof is filled with a heat insulating material 8 such as polyurethane foam.

9 and 10 are the freezer compartment doors 3 of the refrigerator bodies 1 and 2
The appearance design differs in thickness depending on the two-door and three-door refrigerator models, and the symbol mark (not shown) attached to the door outer panel 6 on the front of the refrigerator compartment door 4 is silk-printed. For 2-door handle bases and 3-door handle bases with size D or E, each handle base 9,1
0 has an elongated hole 11 formed integrally at the tip thereof. Reference numeral 12 denotes a handle body made of a plastic material such as ABS resin, which is designed with the user's ease of grip in mind, and is made of a plastic material such as injection molded and then plated. It is fixed to the door outer panel 6 with screws 13 or the like. Further, the tip of this handle body is in contact with the elongated hole 11 of the handle bases 9, 10 and the square hole 7 of the door outer panel 6, and the handle base 9,
10 for vertical positioning of the first contact portion 14
and second contact portion 15 and handle bases 9, 10
The first mounting part 16 and the second mounting part 17 are formed in a substantially stepwise manner, and the first mounting part 16 and the second mounting part 17 are set to dimensions G and H, which are the sum of the thickness dimensions D and E of the door and the thickness dimension F of the door outer panel 6. 18
has been established.

Reference numeral 19 denotes an insertion portion that is integrally provided with this claw portion and has an inclination so that it can be easily inserted into the square hole 7 of the door outer panel.

Reference numeral 20 denotes a handle cover fitted to the handle body 12, and a fitting part 21 is fitted and attached to the inside of the handle body 12.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, the present invention is based on the handle body, which is formed by fixing the handle body with screws etc. through the handle base, and then fitting the handle cover. In order to correspond to the added dimension, the handle body has a first abutting part which is approximately stepped and a first abutting part at the tip of the handle body.
Since the claw part has the placing part, the second abutting part, and the second placing part, it is possible to maintain the same shape even in refrigerators that have different handle base thicknesses and external design shapes unique to each model. A refrigerator that can be used with a handle body, which eliminates the limitation on the exterior design of the handle base in conventional refrigerators with different numbers of doors, and increases the exterior product value of the entire refrigerator. It is possible to provide a handle device for use.
