FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing an external appearance of the door basket for the refrigerator according to the embodiment of the present invention,FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view showing the door basket for the refrigerator according to the embodiment of the present invention, andFIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line I-I ofFIG. 2 . - Referring to
FIGS. 2 to 4 , thedoor basket 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes acase 120 that forms areceiving space 121, acover 140 that selectively shields thereceiving space 121, andcoupling parts 160 that are formed at both sides of thecover 140. - In detail, the
case 120 includes abase 124 that supports foods stored in thedoor basket 100 and aside wall 126 that is extended from both side ends of thebase 124 to an upper part. Theside wall 126 is extended to the upper side, having a width occupying about a half of a width of a side surface of thebase 124. And, a front end of theside wall 126 is smoothly curved at a predetermined curvature. And, the side surface of thecase 120 other than theside wall 126 is inserted into the rear surface of the door for the refrigerator. In other words, the rear surface of the door for the refrigerator is collapsed at a predetermined depth and the side surface of the thecase 120 other than theside wall 126 is received in a collapsed part. And, the rear end part of theside surface 126 forms a vertical surface and is closely attached to an upper end of the rear surface of the door for the refrigerator and edges of both side ends thereof (seeFIG. 1 ). And, the rear surface of thecase 120 and the side surface part other than theside wall 126 is closely attached to an inner circumferential surface of the collapsed part in the rear surface of the door for the refrigerator. Therefore, in a state where thecover 140 is closed, the storage space is formed by thecover 140, thebase 124, and the rear surface of the door for the refrigerator. - The side surface part of the
case 120 other than the part theside wall 126 is formed with thecase mounting part 128. And, the rear surface of the door for the refrigerator is formed with a protruding part coupled with thecase mounting part 128. - Also, the front end of the
base 124 is formed with a sill protruded toward an upper side, thereby preventing the received foods from falling down. And, any point of theside wall 126 is formed with acoupling hole 127 into which thecoupling part 160 is inserted. And, at the upper end of thecase mounting part 128, that is, at the upper end of the side surface part of thecase 120 other than theside wall 126, acover hanging end 129 is extended in a horizontal direction. Thecover hanging end 129 is interfered with one end of thecover 140, thereby limiting a rotational angle of thecover 140. - The
cover 140 includes a lower surface and a rear surface, which takes in opened form, and a side surface part having the same form as theside wall 126. And, thecover 140 is made of a transparent or translucent material so as to able to easily recognize foods received in an inner side of thecase 120 from the external. - The
cover 140 forms anupper surface part 144 of the cover upper surface and aside surface part 146 of the cover. And, a rear end part of thecover 140 is closely attached to the upper end of the rear surface of the door for the refrigerator and the edges of both side surfaces thereof. And, thecover 140 can be rotated until the rear end part thereof contacts thecover hanging end 129. - And, the lower end of the front surface of the cover
upper surface part 144 may be formed with ahandle 145. Thehandle 145 is formed so that a center of the lower end of theupper surface part 144 of the cover is protruded forward so as to able to grip the handle by user' fingers or thehandle 145 may be mounted with a separate member for gripping it. - The
coupling part 160, which is inserted into thecoupling hole 127, is protruded from an outer circumferential surface of theside surface part 146 of the cover. - In detail, the
coupling part 160 is formed of a hollow shape and the end part thereof is formed with a separation preventing means 161 that prevents the separation of thecoupling part 160 after thecoupling part 10 is inserted into thecoupling hole 127. - The
separation preventing means 161 includes a hangingprotrusion 162 in a stripe form convexedly protruded in a radial direction from the end of thecoupling part 160 and a cutting part and a cuttingpart 164 that divides thecoupling part 160 into a plurality of pieces. In detail, the cuttingpart 164 starts from any point spaced from an extension starting point of thecoupling part 160 and is extended to the end of thecoupling part 160. And, the cuttingpart 164 takes a form where a cutting width is increased as going to the end of thecoupling part 160. - Also, an outer diameter of the hanging
protrusion 162 is formed to be larger than an inner diameter of thecoupling hole 127, which prevents a phenomenon where thecoupling part 160 is spontaneously separated from thecoupling hole 127 after it is inserted into thecoupling hole 127. And, thecoupling part 160 is formed of a plastic injection material having slight elastic force. Therefore, when a part of the hangingprotrusion 162 is inserted into thecoupling hole 127, pieces forming thecoupling part 160 is bent in a central direction of thecoupling part 160. In other words, an outer diameter of the end of thecoupling part 160 becomes narrower and narrower as an interval of the cuttingpart 160 becomes narrow. And, when thecoupling part 160 is completely inserted into thecoupling hole 127, the outer diameter of the end of thecoupling part 160 is again expanded while the pieces forming thecoupling part 160 is returned to an original state. Then, the hangingprotrusion 162 penetrates through thecoupling hole 127 and is then hung to the outer circumferential surface of theside wall 126. - Meanwhile, when the
coupling part 160 is inserted into thecoupling hole 127, the outer circumferential surface of thecoupling part 160 contacting the inner circumferential surface of thecoupling hole 128 may be formed with aguide groove 166. In other words, when the inner circumferential surface of the coupling hole 172 is inserted into theguide groove 166, such that when thecover 140 is rotated, the shaking of the cover in the left and right directions can be prevented. - Hereinafter, the operation of the
door basket 100 having the above-mentioned configuration will be described. - In order to assembly the
door basket 100, thecoupling part 160 formed at both sides of thecase 120 is inserted into thecoupling hole 127 formed at theside wall 126. In other words, the hangingprotrusion 162 having a larger diameter than thecoupling hole 127 is forcibly inserted into thecoupling hole 127. At this time, thecoupling part 160 is shrunk by the cuttingpart 164 formed by cutting a part of thecoupling part 160 and then, when thecoupling part 160 is completely inserted into thecoupling hole 127, it is spread, such that thecoupling part 160 is firmly coupled withcoupling hole 127 so as not to be separated from the coupling hole. - Therefore, the
cover 140 is firmly coupled with thecase 140, which prevents thecover 140 from moving and/or separated left and right. In addition, the outer circumferential surface of thecoupling part 160 is formed with theguide groove 160 and the inner circumferential surface of thecoupling hole 127 is received in theguide groove 160, such that thecover 140 can be rotated without the shaking.
