Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate containing and take-out of drinks and to enable reduction of the size of a refrigerator by a method wherein a container removably mounted and having an up opening is mounted in a storage chamber, the container is inclined forward under a state to open a door and maintained approximately in a vertical state under a state to close the door. CONSTITUTION:A bottle case 15 is formed in the shape of a container having depth enough for containing of bottles having open top, and a handle 27 is supported rotatably around rotation centers 28 of the upper ends of the bottle case. Since the bottle case 15 has a center of gravity moved to the opening 30 side in a state that doors 2 and 3 are opened and the handle 27 are tilted to the front opening 30 side of two chambers 8 and 9, it is rotated and inclined forward, and the front end thereof is exposed through the opening 30 from the outer side of a chamber. This constitution facilitates confirmation of the interior of a refrigerator and containing and take out of bottles. Meanwhile, when the doors 2 and 3 are closed, the handle 27 is brought into contact with the inner surfaces of the doors 2 and 3 and rotated counterclockwise and brought into approximately vertical state, and is stably supported. Further, since this constitution eliminates a need to incline forward the bottle case 15 under a state to close the doors 2 and 3, the size of a refrigerator 1 can be reduced.
