- the weight of the refrigerator can be reduced. That is, the degree of freedom in selecting the lengths of the door frame 841 and the rail protection component 846 is increased.
- the material of the rail protection component 846 is a resin material. Thereby, even if the shape of the rail protection component 846 is complicated, it can be molded and coloring is easy, so that it is not necessary to paint. Further, the rail protection component 846 can be formed in a rounded shape, and since the material itself is elastic, even when a finger or the like comes into contact with the rail protection component 846, The pain can be relieved.
- the rail protection component 846 and the door frame 841 are set to the same color. Thereby, the rail protection component 846 can be installed without making it conspicuous. Moreover, in order to give a clean feeling as an impression in the refrigerator, white is mainly used. For this reason, it is the mainstream to use a door frame 841 painted in white. Since the door frame 841 is white and the container 863a is mainly white, it is desirable that the rail protection component 846 be also white in the tenth embodiment. Therefore, since the resin color itself is white based on the use of polypropylene resin that is generally easily available, the rail protection component 846 can be used without being colored.

- the rail protection component 846 has a structure having a space inside (that is, a line contact by a rib), but at least a part of the inside has a space. It is good also as a structure which does not (namely, it is filled with resin and has surface contact).
- FIG. 37 is a sectional view showing an outline of a rail device for a refrigerator in an eleventh embodiment of the present invention.
- the rail device in the eleventh embodiment is different from the rail device in the tenth embodiment in the configuration of the rail device. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 37, the rail device according to the eleventh embodiment is different from the rail device 840 that is vertically stacked in three stages as shown in FIG. 31, for example. It has three rails arranged in three rows.
- differences from the tenth embodiment will be mainly described.
- the rail device 400 includes a first rail (fixed rail) 401 provided with flanges 401a extending inwardly on upper and lower sides of a plate-like body, and a container (not shown).
- the flange 402a is narrower than the height dimension of the first rail (fixed rail) 401 fixed to the outside of a support frame (not shown) that supports the first rail (fixed rail) 401 and is outward from the upper and lower sides.
- the height of the third rail (moving rail) 402 which is provided between the extended third rail (moving rail) 402 and the inner and outer rails 401 and 402, which is smaller than the first rail (fixed rail) 401 and larger than the third rail (moving rail) 402.
- a second rail (intermediate rail) 403 provided with a flange 403a inward from the upper and lower sides thereof.
- the intermediate rail 403 is movable with respect to the first rail (fixed rail) 401, and the third rail (movable rail) 402 is movable with respect to the second rail (intermediate rail) 403. As stretchable.
- FIG. 38 is a cross-sectional view showing an outline of another rail device of the refrigerator in the eleventh embodiment of the present invention.
