The outer side of the second portion 50a may include a guard fixing jaw 52 and rollers 53 and 54 that assist up and down movement along the guide 40. [ The rollers 53 and 54 may include an upper roller 53 located on the upper side of the outer side and a lower roller 54 located on the lower side of the outer side. The rollers 53 and 54 are provided so as to protrude outwardly and the guard fixing step 52 can be positioned adjacent to the lower roller 54. [

The guide 40 may include a first surface 44 provided with a plurality of guard fixing grooves 42 and a second surface 46 recessed outwardly of the door 31 from the first surface 44 . The first surface 44 and the second surface 46 extend vertically along both inboard side surfaces of the door 31 and the first surface 44 is positioned inside the door 31 rather than the second surface 46 .

The upper roller 53 may protrude from the second surface 46 and the lower roller 54 may protrude from the first surface 44. That is, the upper roller 53 may be further protruded outward than the lower roller 54. The width of the second surface 46 is set to the diameter of the upper roller 53 so that the upper roller 53 is fixed in the axial direction and can roll in the up and down direction along the second surface 46.

The lower roller 54 protruding from the first surface 44 and the guard fixing protrusion 52 protruding from the guard fixing groove 42 are positioned adjacent to the inside of the door 31 with respect to the upper roller 53 . When the auxiliary unit 50 is horizontally engaged with the inner surface of the door 31, the upper roller 53 is coupled to the second surface 46 and the lower roller 54 and the guard fixing groove 42 May be coupled to be located on the first side 44.

The auxiliary unit 50 may include a safety member 55 positioned between the upper roller 53 located at the upper portion and the lower roller 54 located at the lower portion. The safety member 55 can be installed to provide an elastic force so that the guard fixing step 52 can be fitted into the guard fixing groove 42 when the guard fixing step 52 is separated from the guard fixing groove 42 .

The auxiliary unit 50 may include a fixing member 56 positioned between the upper roller 53 located at the upper portion and the lower roller 54 located at the lower portion. The fixing member 56 can protrude so as to abut the second surface 46 to stably fix the lower portion of the auxiliary unit 50 to the inside of the door 31. [

4 is a view illustrating a guard 100 installed in a door 31 of a refrigerator 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The inside of the second portion 50b provided on both sides of the auxiliary unit 50 may include a fixing protrusion 57 for fixing the guard 35. [ Both sides of the outer surface of the guard 35 may include fixing grooves 67 that are fitted in fixing protrusions 57 provided corresponding to the fixing protrusions 57. [ The shape of the guard shown in Fig. 4 is illustrative and may be provided in various forms with a fixing groove.

The auxiliary unit 50 is fixed in the horizontal direction on the inner side of the door 31 as shown in FIG. 3, and the guard 35 is vertically fixed to the auxiliary unit 50 as shown in FIG. 4 . The fixing groove 67 is fitted in the fixing protrusion 57 and the guard 35 and the auxiliary unit 50 can move integrally by an external force.

FIG. 5 is a view illustrating that a guard 100 is fixed to a door 31 of a refrigerator 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 6 is a side view of a door 1 of a refrigerator 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. 31, the guard 100 is tilted.

As shown in FIG. 5, the guard 100 is fixed to the door 31 horizontally on the bottom surface thereof to house the stored object. The lower roller 54 is located on the first surface 44 and the upper roller 53 is fitted on the second surface 46 which is recessed and fixed in the horizontal direction.

The guard fixing jaw 52 can be fixed to the door 31 in a state in which the guard 35 is engaged with the guard fixing groove 42. [ Since the guard fixing step 52 and the guard fixing groove 42 are provided at a predetermined angle in the horizontal direction, the external force due to the weight of the stored object can be supported.

The safety member 55 is provided between the upper roller 53 and the lower roller 54 and can be positioned so that one side contacts the second surface 46. [ The safety member 55 can be provided in a state in which there is no or little elastic force due to no deformation or small deformation.

The upper portion of the guard 35 can be fixed to the door 31 horizontally by the upper roller 53 protruding from the lower roller 54. [ Therefore, the lower part of the guard 35 can move in the horizontal direction, and thus the stored product can not be stably stored. The fixing member 56 can be disposed adjacent to the lower roller 54 to solve the problem. The fixing member 56 may protrude outwardly in alignment with the second surface 46 like the upper roller 53 to fix the lower portion of the guard 35 in the horizontal direction of the door 31. [

When the guard 35 is to be moved according to the height of the stored object, the guard 35 can be tilted as shown in FIG. When the user grips the outer side of the guard 35 and applies an external force to the upper side of the guard 35, the guard fixing step 52 is separated from the guard fixing groove 42 and the lower roller 54 can contact the second surface 46.

The upper roller 53 and the lower roller 54 can roll along the second surface 46 so that the user can move the guard 35 to a desired height. At this time, the safety member 55 is compressed due to external force and has an elastic force. Therefore, even if the user removes the external force, the guard fixing jaw 52 can be moved and fixed to the guard fixing groove 42 by the safety member 55.

It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
