A handle 120 is disposed on a side surface of the rotatable door 100. A side surface facing a rotation shaft of the rotatable door 100 may be recessed to form the handle 100. The handle 120 may be disposed above a home bar 300 that will be described below. Thus, a user may grasp the handle 120 to rotate the rotatable door 100, thereby opening or closing the upper storage space 20.

The home bar 300 is disposed below the rotatable door 100. The home bar 300 is configured to take in or out foods stored in the upper storage space 20 without opening the rotatable door 100.

Fig. 3 is a partial perspective view of a refrigerator with a home bar door opened according to an embodiment. Fig. 4 is a front exploded perspective view of a refrigerator door according to an embodiment. Fig. 5 is a rear exploded perspective view of a refrigerator door according to an embodiment.

Referring to Figs. 3 to 5, the home bar 300 includes an opening 310 and a home bar door 320. The opening 310 is defined in a lower portion of the rotatable door 100 and has a penetrated rectangular shape. The foods and exclusive containers may be taken in or out through the opening 310. The home bar door 320 may be rotatably coupled to a lower end of the rotatable door 100 to open or close the opening 310.

The opening 310 may be defined in a home bar frame 400 disposed in the rotatable door 100. The home bar frame 400 may extend vertically from a side of the rotatable door 100 up to the lower end of the rotatable door 100. The opening 310 has a size corresponding to a width of the upper storage space 20. Thus, when a drawer 22 is disposed at a side of the upper storage space 20 corresponding to the opening 310, the drawer 20 may be taken in or out through the opening 310.

Also, the rotatable door 100 may have a stepped portion. Thus, when the home bar door 320 is closed, a front surface of the rotatable door 100 may flush with that of the home bar door 320. That is, a lower portion of the rotatable door 100 including the home bar frame 400 covered by the home bar door 320 may extend up to the lower end in an inwardly stepped shape. Also, the home bar frame 400 may have a size corresponding to that of the home bar door 320. Thus, when the home bar door 320 is closed, an entire front surface of the home bar frame 400 may be covered by the home bar door 320.

A gasket 410 may be disposed on the front surface of the home bar frame 400 corresponding to the outside of the opening 310. The gasket 410 may be closely attached to a back surface of the home bar door 320 when the home bar door 320 is closed and may be disposed along an outer circumference of the opening 310, whereby preventing cool air from leaking.

A latch groove 420 for selectively receiving a latch 322 disposed on the home bar door 320 and a home bar door switch 430 for detecting the opening and closing of the home bar door 320 may be disposed on the home bar frame 400 disposed above the opening 310.

The home bar frame 400 is disposed on the opening 310. The opening 310 may have a left/right width corresponding to that of the upper storage space 20 to completely expose the inside of the upper storage space 20.

Also, a lower end of the opening 310 may have the same height as that of a bottom surface of the upper storage space 20. When the home bar door 320 is completely opened, the back surface of the home bar door 320 may have the same height as those of the lower end of the opening 310 and the bottom surface of the upper storage space 20. Thus, a food received in the upper storage space 20 or an exclusive container 40 may be taken out by forwardly pulling them. Here, the withdrawn food or exclusive container 40 may be seated on the back surface of the home bar door 320 via the lower end of the opening 310.

As necessary, a tray (not shown) having a predetermined height with respect to the bottom surface of the upper storage space 20 may be further provided when the upper storage space 20 has a height less than that of the lower end of the opening 310 or the back surface of the home bar door 320. Also, a top surface of the tray may have the same height as those of the lower end of the opening 310 and the back surface of the home bar door 320.

A coupling part 440 to which the home bar door 320 is axially coupled may be disposed on a lower side of the opening 310, i.e., a front lower end of the home bar frame 400. The coupling part 410 protrudes from the front surface of the home bar frame 400 and is disposed on each of both left and right sides of the home bar frame 400. Thus, the home bar door 320 may be rotatably coupled to the coupling part 440.

That is, the coupling part 440 is disposed on the lower end of the rotatable door 100, and thus, the home bar door 320 may be rotated about a shaft of the coupling part 440, thereby being opened or closed. Also, the coupling part 440 may be disposed at a position equal to those of the lower end of the opening 310, the bottom surface of the upper storage space, and the back surface of the home bar door 320 in a state where the home bar door 320 is rotated and completely opened.

A damper 442 is disposed on at least one of the coupling parts 440. The damper may buffer an opening speed of the home bar door 320 when the home bar door 320 is opened. Thus, the damper 442 may be configured to smoothly open the home bar door 320.

In detail, the rotation shaft 352 protrudes from the inside of a receiving part 350 (described below) of the home bar door 320. Also, the rotation shaft 352 is coupled to the coupling part 440. Here, one of the left and right rotation shafts 352 may be coupled to the damper 442 disposed on the coupling part 440.

The home bar door 320 is configured to open or close the opening 310. When the home bar door 320 is closed, the home bar door 320 may define an outer appearance of a lower portion of the rotatable door 100. Also, when the home bar door 320 is closed, the home bar door 320 may have a shape corresponding to that in which the entire surface of the home bar frame 400 is covered.

In detail, the home bar door 320 may have the same width as a horizontal width of the rotatable door 100 and extends from a side of the rotatable door 100 up to the lower end of the rotatable door 100. Thus, the home bar door 320 may be disposed so that the lower end of the home bar door 320 has the same height as that of the lower end of the rotatable door 100. Also, when the home bar door 320 is closed, the home bar door 320 may define the entire outer appearance of the lower portion of the rotatable door 100, e.g., the horizontal direction of the rotatable door 100 as well as from a side to the lower end of the rotatable door 100.

Also, the front surface of the home bar door 320 may be formed of the same color and material as that of the rotatable door 100. When the home bar door 320 is closed, the front surface of the home bar door 320 may have the sense of unity with an upper portion of the rotatable door 100.

A protrusion 340 is disposed on the back surface of the home bar door 320. The protrusion 340 has a size corresponding to that of the opening 310. When the home bar door 320 is closed, the protrusion 340 may be disposed inside the opening 310. Also, the gasket 410 may be contactably disposed on the back surface of the home bar door 320 corresponding to an outer circumference of the protrusion 340. Thus, when the home bar door 320 is closed, the protrusion 340 is inserted into the opening 310 to primarily seal the inside of the home bar 300. Also, the gasket 410 contacts the home bar frame 400 to secondarily seal the inside of the home bar 300. Therefore, the space inside the home bar 300 may be completely sealed.

A guide groove 342 for guiding the movement of a guide cover 330 that will be described below is further defined in each of both left and right sides of the protrusion 340. The guide groove 342 is defined along a moving path of a guide protrusion 332 defined in the guide cover 330 when the home bar door 320 is rotated. Both ends of the guide groove 342 extend downward. Thus, when the home bar door 320 is completely opened or closed, the guide groove 342 receives the guide protrusion 332 to allow the guide cover 330 to be maintained in a stable state.

A receiving part 350 in which the coupling part 440 is inserted is defined in each of both sides corresponding to the respective coupling parts 440 on the bottom surface of the home bar door 320. The rotation shaft 352 axially coupled to the coupling part 440 protrudes inside the receiving part 350.

One of the rotation shafts 352 is coupled to the damper 442 to reduce the opening speed of the home bar door 320 when the home bar door 320 is opened. Thus, the home bar door 320 is opened, its impact may be buffered.

One of the rotation shaft 352 may be elastically supported by a spring inside the home bar door 320 and inserted into the home bar door 320. Thus, when the home bar door 320 is installed, the rotation shaft 352 is inserted, and thus, the receiving part 350 of the home bar door 320 may be easily coupled to the coupling part 440 of the rotatable door 100.

The guide cover 330 is disposed on the back surface of the home bar door 320. When the home bar door 320 is opened, the guide cover 330 covers the bottom surface of the home bar door 320 and a portion of the back surface of the home bar door 320. Also, when the home bar door 320 is closed, the guide cover 330 a space between the home bar frame 400 and the home bar door 320. The guide cover 330 may have a width corresponding to the horizontal width of the opening 310 to cover a portion of the protrusion 340 of the home bar door 320.

An outwardly protruding mount protrusion 334 is disposed on a rear end of each of both side surfaces of the guide cover 330. The mount protrusion 334 is inserted into a mount protrusion insertion hole 414 defined in a lower end of each of both left and right side surfaces of the opening 310. Here, the mount protrusion 334 may be rotatably inserted to allow the guide cover 330 to be rotated.

An inwardly protruding guide protrusion 332 is disposed on a front end of each of both side surfaces of the home bar door 320. The guide protrusion 332 is inserted into the guide groove 342 defined in the protrusion 340. The guide protrusion 332 is moved along the guide groove 342 as the home bar door 320 is rotated. Also, the guide protrusion 332 may guide the movement of an upper end of the guide cover 330.

The protruding latch 322 is disposed on an upper end of the back surface of the home bar door 320. When the home bar door 320 is closed, the latch 322 is inserted into the latch groove 420. Also, the latch 322 is selectively restricted by a pushing operation of the home bar door 320 to open or close the home bar door 320.

A side of the rotatable door 100 and a side of the home bar door 320 are connected to each other by a support member 500. The support member 500 is configured to prevent the home bar door 320 from being hung downward when the home bar door 320 is completely opened, and simultaneously, the support member 500 is configured to support the home bar door 320 when the food or exclusive container 40 is seated on the home bar door 320.

Hereinafter, the support member will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to Figs. 4 to 6, the support member 50 has a wire shape having a predetermined length. A fixing part 510 is disposed on each of both ends of the support member 500. The fixing part 510 has a hook shape. Both ends of the fixing part 510 may be fixed to a side of a fixing hole of the home bar frame 400 of the rotatable door 100 and a side of a fixing hole 344 of the home bar door 320, respectively.

In detail, the fixing part 510 of one end of the support member 500 may be fixed to the fixing hole 412 defined in an inner surface of the opening 310 of the home bar frame 400 by a coupling member 520 such as a screw. The fixing part 510 of the other end of the support member 500 may be fixed to the fixing hole 344 defined in the side surface of the home bar door 320 by the coupling member 520 such as the screw. Here, the fixing hole 344 of the home bar door 320 may be defined in each of lower ends of both side surfaces of the protrusion 340 and disposed at a position adjacent to the fixing hole 412 of the home bar frame 400. Of cause, the support member 500 may be shapely coupled to the home bar frame 400 and the home bar door 320 without using a separate coupling member, and thus, the support member 500 fixed to the home bar frame 400 and the home bar door 320.

The support member 500 may have a length that maintainable to a rotation angle of at approximately 90° when the home bar door 320 is completely opened. That is, since the support member 500 has a predetermined length and is fixed to both ends of the home bar door 320 and the home bar frame 400, the support member 500 may restrict the rotation of the home bar door 320 to prevent the home bar door 320 from being rotated at a angle greater than a predetermined angle.

Also, the support member 500 may have a wire shape and formed of a metal or nonmetal material that is folded or curved in a state where the home bar door 320 is completely closed. Of cause, as necessary, the support member 500 may have a chain structure or link structure in which a plurality of metal or nonmetal materials is connected to each other.

Also, the support member 500 may be disposed inside the guide cover 330. The support member 500 may be fixed to the back surface of the home bar door 320 and the bottom surface or both side surfaces of the opening 310. Thus, the support member 500 is not exposed to the outside of the guide cover 330. Also, the support member 500 may be disposed at various positions on the home bar door 320 and the rotatable door 100 to prevent the home bar door 320 from being rotated at an angle greater than a set angle.

For example, as shown in Fig. 6, one of both sides of the fixing part 510 of the support member 500 may be fixed to the lower ends of both left and right surfaces of the opening 310, and the other of both sides of the fixing part 510 may be fixed to the lower ends of both left and right surfaces of the protrusion 340. Thus, when the guide cover 330 is mounted, the support member 500 may be covered by the guide cover 330.

Hereinafter, a process in which a food is received into the home bar of the refrigerator including the above-described constitutions according to an embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to Figs. 1 to 7, a food is stored inside the refrigerator 1 in a low-temperature state. Also, foods that are relatively frequently taken in or out may be received into the home bar 300.

That is, in case of the foods that frequently taken in or out, the home bar door 320 is opened to open the opening 310. Then, the food or exclusive container received in the lower space exposed through the opening 310 of the upper storage space 20 may be taken in or out.

The user pushes an upper portion of the home bar door 320 to open the home bar door 320. When the upper portion of the home bar door 320 is pushed, the latch 322 may be released from the latch groove 420, and then, the home bar door 320 may be rotated by a self-weight thereof or the elastic force provided by the latch 322 or the home bar door spring 430.

The home bar door 320 is rotated and opened in a counterclockwise direction (when viewed in Fig. 7). When the home bar door 320 is rotated, the opening 310 is exposed to expose the upper storage space 20 to the outside.

Here, since the opening 310 has a horizontal width corresponding to an inner width of the upper storage space 20, the food or exclusive container 40 received in the upper storage space 20 may be confirmed and taken in or out without separate interference.

Particularly, since the lower end of the opening 310 is provided on the same level as the bottom surface of the upper storage space 20 or the top surface of the tray provided in the upper storage space 20, the food or exclusive container 40 may be more easily taken in or out.

When the home bar door 320 is rotated at an approximately 90° in the counterclockwise direction, the home bar door 320 is completely rotated. Also, until the home bar door 320 is completely rotated, the home bar door 320 may be smoothly opened by the damper 442 within the coupling part 440.

In the state where the home bar door 320 is completely opened, the home bar door 320 is not rotated any more by the support member 500. That is, in the state where the home bar door 320 is opened at an approximately 90°, the home bar door 320 is not rotated any more by the length restriction of the support member 500 having the predetermined length.

Thus, even though the food or exclusive container 40 inside the home bar door 320 is taken in or out or an external impact is applied to the home bar door 320, the home bar door 320 is not rotated any more to maintain the completely opened state. Thus, it may prevent the home bar door 320 from be damaged by the hang down thereof and prevent the food from being dropped down.

In the state where the home bar door 320 is completely opened, the guide cover 330 covers the space between the home bar door 32 and the home bar frame 400. In addition, the guide cover 330 covers the support member 500 to prevent the support member 500 from being exposed to the outside.

In the state where the home bar door 320 is completely opened, the back surface of the home bar door 320, the lower end of the opening 310, and the bottom surface of the upper storage space have the same level as each other. Thus, when the food or exclusive container 40 is pulled and taken out, the food within the upper storage space 20 may be slidably moved along the back surface of the home bar door 320 via the lower end of the opening 310.

Alternatively, the back surface of the home bar door 320, the lower end of the opening 310, and the bottom surface of the upper storage space may not have the completely same level as each other. However, the back surface of the home bar door 320, the lower end of the opening 310, and the bottom surface of the upper storage space may have heights similar to each other on the whole to allow the food and exclusive container 40 to be smoothly moved.

After the food or exclusive container 40 is received into the upper storage space 20, the home bar door 320 is closed to cover the opening 310. Here, the guide protrusion 332 of the guide cover 330 is moved along the guide groove 342 to move the upper end of the guide cover 330.

Also, as the home bar door 320 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction (when viewed in Fig. 7), the fixing parts of both ends of the support member 500 approach each other, and thus, the support member 500 is curved or folded.

When the home bar door 320 is rotated and the latch 322 is inserted into the latch groove 420, the home bar door 320 is completely closed. In this state, the home bar door 320 defines the outer appearance of the lower portion of the rotatable door 100.

That is, when the home bar door 320 is completely closed, the home bar door 320 completely covers the front surface of the home bar frame 400. Also, the home bar door 320 has the same width as the left-right width of the rotatable door 100, and the lower end of the rotatable door 100 is disposed on the same level as that of the home bar door 320. Thus, the home bar door 320 may define the outer appearance of the lower portion of the rotatable door 100.

That is, the home bar door 320 covers the entire stepped lower portion of the rotatable door 100, and also, the front surface of the rotation door 100 is flush with that of the home bar door 320. Thus, the refrigerator 1 may have the sense of unity on the whole.

Although embodiments have been described with reference to a number of illustrative embodiments thereof, it should be understood that numerous other modifications and embodiments can be devised by those skilled in the art that will fall within the spirit and scope of the principles of this disclosure.　 More particularly, various variations and modifications are possible in the component parts and/or arrangements of the subject combination arrangement within the scope of the disclosure, the drawings and the appended claims.　 In addition to variations and modifications in the component parts and/or arrangements, alternative uses will also be apparent to those skilled in the art.

According to the embodiment, the home bar door has the width corresponding to the horizontal width of the door and extends up to the lower end of the door. Thus, the outer appearance of the front surface of the refrigerator may be improved. In addition, since the home bar has the wide area, usage convenience of the home bar may be improved. Also, since the home bar door is supported by the support member when the home bar door is opened, the operational safety of the home bar door may be improved, and also, industrial applicability may be improved.
