Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to improvement of a drawer structure of a drawer type container in a drawer type refrigerator.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional drawer-type refrigerator is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-49675.

This conventional drawer-type refrigerator is shown in FIGS.
It is configured as shown in. Reference numeral 1 is a refrigerator main body, 2 is a drawer door having a drawer portion which is openably and closably installed in a front opening of a vegetable compartment 3, and a frame body 4 formed in a substantially U-shape by left and right frames and a rear frame is the drawer body. It is fixed to the back surface of the door 2 with screws. Reference numeral 5 is a pair of fixed rollers rotatably fixed to the rear end of the frame body 4, and 6 is a fixed rail for rotatably supporting the rollers 5.

The fixed rails 6 are fixed to both sides of the vegetable compartment 3, and the frame 4 is provided near the front end of the fixed rail 6.
A fixed roller 7 for slidably supporting is arranged to form a drawer structure.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a first container which is detachably mounted inside the frame 4, and 9 denotes a second container which is accommodated in the first container 8. It is slidably supported.

Reference numeral 11 is a notch formed in a part of the back wall of the first container 8 so that the second container 9 can slide backward, and 12 is a stopper provided at the rear of the left and right flanges 10 of the first container 8. , 13 are stepped portions provided on the upper surfaces of the left and right flanges 14 of the second container 9, which are brought into contact with the stopper 12
The container 9 prevents the container 9 from falling out of the first container 8 and acts as a stopper for interlocking both containers.

[0007]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional structure, since the stopper 12 is provided at the rear portion of the left and right flanges 10 of the first container 8, the second container 9 is slid rearward and hits the stopper 12. In the contacted state shown in FIG. 11, the second container 9 drastically droops rearward, a great amount of stress is applied to the stopper 12, and smooth sliding is lacking.

Further, since the amount of protrusion of the second container 9 to the rear is small, there is a drawback that the food stored inside the first container 8 below the second container is not easily taken out. The present invention solves the conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerator in which the second container 9 does not droop backward and is smoothly slid, and food is easily taken out.

[0009]

In order to achieve this object, the present invention is one in which the left and right flanges of the first container are extended rearward from the rear surface, and the stoppers are provided in front of the rear portions of the left and right flanges.

With this, it is possible to provide a refrigerator in which the second container is not drooping backward and is stable, and a large amount of the second container can be taken out to the rear so that the food can be taken out easily.
