And the lower hinge shafts 312 and 313 are inserted into the lower hinge grooves 42 formed on the lower surface of the freezing chamber door 40 and the upper hinge grooves 51 formed on the upper surface of the refrigerator compartment door 50, respectively. Fixing table 315 and the slit portion 316 formed on the rear end of the 310 is in close contact with the right side of the front height height side of the case 10 and then fixed through a plurality of fastening screws (100).

이때, 중간측 힌지부재(310)의 측단 중앙에 돌설된 걸림돌기(314)는 좌측을 향하도록 취부함으로써 냉동실도어(40)의 하면에 취부되는 제1중간측 스토퍼부재(73)에 대응되게 결합되어 스토퍼역활을 수행하도록 하여준다.At this time, the locking protrusion 314 protruding in the center of the side end of the intermediate hinge member 310 is mounted to face the left side so as to correspond to the first intermediate stopper member 73 mounted on the lower surface of the freezing chamber door 40. To act as a stopper.

그러나, 제5(b)도와 같이 좌개폐 도어방식으로 냉장고를 양산시에는 상기 중간측 힌지부재(310)를 측방향으로 뒤집어서 그 선단의 상하면에 돌설된 상부 힌지축(312)을 하부로 향하게 함과 동시에 하부 힌지축(313)을 상부로 향하도록 위치시키고, 그 후단에 직각되게 절곡된 고정대(315)를 하부로 향하게 함과 동시에 슬릿부(316)를 상부로 향하도록 위치시킨다.However, when the refrigerator is mass-produced in the left-opening / closing manner as shown in FIG. 5 (b), the intermediate hinge member 310 is turned upside down so that the upper hinge shaft 312 protruding from the upper and lower ends thereof faces downward. At the same time, the lower hinge shaft 313 is positioned to the upper side, and the slit portion 316 is positioned to face upward while the fixing base 315 bent perpendicularly to the rear end thereof.

그런 후, 고정대(315)와 슬릿부(316)를 케이스(10)의 정면 중간높이측 좌측에 밀착시킴과 동시에 다수개의 체결나사(100)를 매개로 고정함으로써 중간측 힌지부재(310)의 측단 중앙에 돌설된 걸림돌기(314)가 우측을 향하도록 위치가 바뀌게 된다.Thereafter, the fixing stand 315 and the slit portion 316 are brought into close contact with the left side of the front middle height side of the case 10 and the plurality of fastening screws 100 are fixed through the side ends of the intermediate hinge member 310. The position is changed so that the locking protrusion 314 protruding from the center faces the right side.

따라서, 중간측 힌지부재(310)는 그 일측에 돌설된 걸림돌기(314)의 방향을 좌우개폐 도어방식에 따라 좌측 또는 우측으로 가변되도록 측방향으로 뒤집어서 사용할 수 있으므로, 우개폐 도어방식이나 또는 좌개폐 도어방식에 공용으로 용이하게 사용될 수 있는 것이다.Therefore, the middle hinge member 310 can be used by turning the direction of the locking projection 314 protruding on one side to the left or the right to be changed to the left or right side according to the left and right opening and closing door system, the right opening and closing door system or left It can be easily used in common to open and close door system.

이상에서 설명한 바와 같이 본 발명에 따른 냉장고용 좌우개폐 도어의 중간 측 힌지장치에 의하면, 중간측 힌지부재는 그 일측에 돌설된 걸림돌기의 방향을 좌우개폐 도어방식에 따라 측방향으로 뒤집어서 사용할 수 있도록 한번의 금형제작에의해 가공되어 있기 때문에 우개폐 도어방식이나 또는 좌개폐 도어방식에 공용으로 사용될 수 있고, 종래와 같이 좌개폐 도어방식을 채택할 경우 별도로 중간측 힌지부재를 재가공하는데 드는 금형제작의 비용을 절감할수 있는 효과가 있다.As described above, according to the middle side hinge device of the left and right opening and closing doors for refrigerators according to the present invention, the middle side hinge member can be used by turning the direction of the locking projection protruding on one side in the side direction according to the left and right opening and closing door method. Because it is processed by one mold manufacturing, it can be used in common with the right-opening door method or the left-opening door method. When adopting the left-opening door method as in the prior art, the mold manufacturing method is required to rework the intermediate hinge member separately. The cost can be reduced.
