Namely, the outer circumference of the ring-shape base part of the mounting rib 110 and the outer circumference of the deco part of the basket body 120 forms the same plane in a loaded state, thereby representing a fancy design.
- a first stepped portion 115 in which a width of the contact portion 112 is smaller than that of the non-contact portion 111, may be provided to a boundary between the contact portion 112 and the non-contact portion 111 of the mounting rib 110.
- a second stepped portion 124 may be provided to the basket body 120 to engage with the first stepped portion 115. Therefore, the refrigerator 1 according to one example increases a contact area between the basket body 120 and the mounting rib 110, thereby providing a structure having sufficient rigidity.
- the mounting rib 110 of the basket assembly 100 is fitted into the dike 32 provided to the backside of the door 30.
- the hanging part 33 of the dike 32 and the projection portion 114 of the mounting rib 110 received in the hanging part 33 are prepared to have a prescribed relative tolerance not to be separated from each other in the course of food receiving process.
- the hanging part 33 and the projection portion 114 are configured to be forced to be inserted in the fitting process by the tolerance. Therefore, sufficient rigidity may be provided not to facilitate separation relatively.
- the basket body 120 may be mounted to the mounting rib 110.
- the mounting rib 110 may be mounted to the backside of the door 30.
- the basket body 120 is preferably mounted to the mounting rib 110.
- the outer circumference of the basket body 120 and the outer circumference of the mounting rib 110 may form the same plane.
- the mounting rib 110 may be formed of metal substance.
- the basket body 120 and the mounting rib 110 may have a multi-stepped structure for mutual engagement. Therefore, if the basket body 120 is loaded, it is a matter of course that sufficient rigidity may be obtained as well as a fancy exterior.
- the basket body 120 may be detached wile the mounting rib 110 is fixed to the backside of the door.
- the present invention provides the following effects and/or advantages.
- a position of a basket may be adjusted in accordance with a height of a storage container or user's convenience in reception.
- lateral looseness or fluctuation of a basket may be prevented in the course of adjusting a position of the basket.
- user's convenience may be enhanced using a lever structure in consideration of a user's user interface.
- a basket may be prevented from being separated in the course of receiving food.
- a basket may be easily detached for cleaning.
- rigidity of a basket may be raised with fancy exterior.
- the present invention is able to represent a fancy exterior.
