In addition, the molding end 10 is formed to be inclined downward (S1 in FIG. 1) toward the front of the inner case 11, that is, the front of the refrigerator, so that the front withdrawal of the shelf 20 is easier, and the inner case. It is preferable to be inclined (S2, S3 in Fig. 2) to the inside of (11), namely toward the center of the refrigerator.

In other words, the upper portion of the forming end 10 is formed to be inclined downward (S2) toward the inner side of the inner case 11, and the lower portion of the forming end 10 is inclined upwardly toward the inner side of the inner case 11 ( S3) is formed.

The shelf 20 includes a main body 30 and a rail 40, and the main body 30 is installed across both side walls of the inner case 11, and is disposed below the shelf 20. It is preferable to configure the transparent material so that the stored food can be visually confirmed.

In addition, the rails 40 are vertically extended from both side ends of the main body 30, respectively, and slide back and forth along the wall surface of the inner case 11 while surrounding the molding end 10.

The rail 40 is preferably coupled to surround all of the upper, lower and inner surfaces of the forming end 10 so as to slid back and forth stably even when heavy food is placed on the shelf 20.

To this end, the rail 40 is formed to be inclined downward toward the front of the inner case 11, that is, the front of the refrigerator so as to correspond to the outer shape of the forming end 10, the inner side of the inner case 11, that is, the center of the refrigerator It is preferably formed to be inclined toward.
