The present invention relates to a pocket formed on the door of the refrigerator, and more particularly to a fixture for fixing a pocket bar used to restrain the food containers and the like placed in the pocket.

In general, the refrigerator stores food by forming a pocket to the inside of the door in order to make wide use of the internal space. Foods stored in pockets are usually processed foods, which are usually packed relatively long, and bottles, such as drinks and beer, are stored in bottles so that the depth of the door pockets can be made long or a pocket bar can be placed in front of the pockets. It is necessary to prevent food containers and the like from falling down or falling to the floor of the refrigerating chamber during the opening and closing operation of the door.

Thus, in the past, attempts have been made to stably store food by installing a crossbar at the tip of a pocket side wall protruding from the inside of the door to protrude inside the refrigerating chamber. However, since the conventional crossbar is structured to be fixed to the side wall of the pocket using fixing means such as screws, it is not only cumbersome to assemble, but also has a closed end that requires a lot of material cost. On the other hand, the pocket bar itself is formed integrally with the fixing means to be pressed into the insertion hole of the side wall pocket, but in this case, if the fixing means and the insertion hole is not correctly aligned, the installation work is extremely difficult, even if assembled excessively Even so, problems such as deformation of the pocket bar occurs.

The present invention has been devised in view of the problems of the prior art as described above, and the object of the present invention is that the pocket can be mounted on the side wall of the pocket very easily, and the pocket can be easily detached when the pocket bar is replaced or repaired. To provide a bar fixture.

Pocket bar fastener of the present invention for achieving this purpose, a base portion having an inner surface and an outer surface, a stopper portion extending outwardly substantially perpendicular to it at one end of the base portion, and the base portion on the inner surface of the stopper portion; A guide portion extending parallel to the outer surface to guide the pocket bar, and a pair of elastic hook portion extending in the opposite direction to the stopper portion on the inner surface of the base portion.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described an embodiment of the present invention;

1 and 2 are plan and front views of the pocket bar fixture according to the present invention, respectively. As can be seen from this figure, the pocket bar fastener of the present invention has a base column 10, and the base part is in contact with the inner surface 10a and the pocket bar 10b in contact with the front end of the pocket side wall. Has A stopper portion 12 is formed at one end of the base portion 10 substantially perpendicular to the base portion to restrict the longitudinal movement of the pocket bar. In addition, the outer surface 10b of the base portion 10 is formed with a guide portion 14 extending in parallel with the base portion, one end of the guide portion 14 is in contact with the stopper portion 12, The other end protrudes past the base part 10. The guide portion 14 has a pair of mutually symmetrical and inclined angles of a pair of flanges 14a and 14b, and a pair of guide grooves between one side of these flanges and an outer surface 10b of the base portion 10. 16) 18 are formed. On the other hand, on the inner surface (10a) of the base portion 10, a pair of elastic hooks 20, 22 are protruded at regular intervals, these hooks 20, 22 have an annular shape, toward the free end As it becomes thinner, when inserted into the side wall of a pocket, it exhibits some elasticity or flexibility as mentioned later.

3 is a perspective view of a pocket bar 30 installed at a constant height in front of the door pocket, and a part of the drawing is omitted for convenience. Since the use and function of the pocket bar 30 is known in the art, a detailed description thereof will be omitted. However, it is noted that the T-shaped slot 32 is formed along the longitudinal direction so that the pocket bar 30 can be assembled to the guide portion 14 of the fastener described above.

4 is an exploded perspective view of a pocket bar and a pocket bar fixture mounted on the side wall of the refrigerator. As is apparent from this figure, a pair of side walls 42, 44 protrude toward the inside of the refrigerator on the inner surface of the door 40, and these side walls 42, 44 together with the bottom surface 46 are pockets. To form. A pair of insertion holes 42a, 42b, 44a, 44b are drilled at the tip of the pocket side walls 42, 44, respectively, and are fastened to the hook portions 20, 22 of the pocket bar fixture described above.

5a, b is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the pocket bar 30 is coupled to the side walls 42, 44 of the refrigerator 40 by the fastener of the present invention, the fastener in the slot 32 of the pocket bar 30 When the guide portion 14 is inserted, a pair of inclined flanges 14a and 14b are coupled to the slot 32 with some elasticity or flexibility, so that they are firmly fixed without flow. In addition, the coupling between the hook portions 20 and 22 of the fixture and the insertion holes 42a, 42b, 44a and 44b of the sidewalls 42 and 44 of the refrigerator is first performed as shown in FIG. 20 and 22 are inserted into the insertion holes 42a, 42b, 44a and 44b of the sidewalls 42 and 44 of the refrigerator, the insertion holes 42a, 42b and 44a and 44b of at least It is formed to be larger than the height of the hook portion 20, 22 is inserted, the end of the hook portion 20, 22 so as not to completely penetrate the insertion hole.

Then, as shown in FIG. 5B, when the fastener is lowered downward, the end portions of the hook parts 20 and 22 are elastically deformed to open, and the side walls between the inner surface 10 a of the base 10 and the hook parts 20 and 22 are separated. 42) and 44 are in a fitted state, and the firm restrained state can be maintained by the elastic restoring force of the hook portions 20 and 22. In addition, when the fixing part is lifted upward in the reverse order of the above, the fixing part becomes state 5a, so that the fixing part becomes detachable.

Therefore, the pocket bar can be fixed and detached from the side wall of the refrigerator by the fastener, and the refrigerated food stored in the pocket is prevented from falling onto the bottom of the refrigerator compartment by being caught by the pocket bar.

In the above described the pocket bar fixture of the present invention based on the specific embodiment, but those skilled in the art may be modified in various ways without departing from the scope of the invention described in the claims.
