善を行うことを目的とする。In the hinge device for supporting the refrigerator door of the conventional refrigerator as described above, it is necessary to increase the hinge strength as the storage amount of the refrigerator door pocket or the like increases. Thicken. Then, FIG.
In the above, since the plate thickness of the protrusion-shaped portion 7 of the lower hinge 4 whose load is smaller than that of the lower hinge 4 main body becomes thick as in the lower hinge 4 main body, the position of the screw 11 for fixing to the partition 10 is When the projection 15 of the screw fastening tool size onto the hinge component is moved in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 7 and the fastening space for the screw 11 is secured, the distance from the shaft portion of the hinge that receives the load to the screw fastening portion increases and the strength increases. Will be at a disadvantage. FIG. 8 is also a side view and a front view of the lower hinge 4 according to the conventional shape, but when the position of the screw 11 is indicated by the projection 15 onto the hinge component of the screw fastening tool size, it is moved in the direction of the arrow in FIG. If the fastening space for the screws 11 is secured, the size of the lower hinge 4 body becomes large and interferes with the door packing parts 9 attached to the upper and lower parts of the hinge, so that the door interval must be wide and the design is impaired. It was There is also a method of attaching parts having different plate thicknesses, but there are problems such as the need for separate parts and the number of attachment steps. Therefore,
Due to the market demand, the hinge with sufficient strength to increase the storage capacity of the door has a small mounting space, a small door interval,
An object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerator having a hinge device which has a small number of parts and is excellent in design, and to improve workability of hinge attachment.

長期使用に耐えるためのものである。FIG. 5 is a side view (left view) and a front view (right view) of the lower hinge 4 according to the present invention, and 15 is a projection of a tool size used for fastening the screw 11. When the storage amount of the refrigerator door pocket or the like increases, it is necessary to increase the strength of the lower hinge 4, and if the thickness of the lower hinge 4 is increased, the thickness of the protrusion-shaped portion 7 of the lower hinge 4 is also increased. However, since the load applied to the protrusion-shaped portion 7 is smaller than that of the hinge main body portion, the required strength can be maintained even if the protrusion-shaped portion 7 is formed to be somewhat thinner than the lower hinge 4 main body. By forming the projection-shaped portion 7 thinly, as shown in the front view of FIG. 5, it does not interfere with the projection of the screw fastening tool, so that it is not necessary to attach a new component, and a sufficient space for fastening the screw 11 is available. .
Further, the required strength can be maintained without increasing the distance from the hinge shaft 6 portion receiving the load to the screw fastening portion. Further, the main body of the lower hinge 4 does not increase in size and does not interfere with the door packing parts 9 attached to the upper and lower sides of the lower hinge 4, and the door interval (the interval between the refrigerator door 2 and the refrigerator lower door 13) is wide. It does not spoil the design. The load on the hinge is smaller than that of the hinge body.The protruding part of the hinge is thinner than the hinge body, so it is easy to fasten the screw and the device can be made inexpensive. Since the strength can be maintained, it is possible to provide a refrigerator excellent in design. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the bearing portion 12. The key-shaped lock portion 14 of the bearing portion 12 is particularly thickly formed, and is about twice as large as the protrusion-shaped portion 7 of the lower hinge 4. This is because when the refrigerator is used, the protrusion-shaped portion 7 is worn out and the protrusion-shaped portion 7 and the key-shaped portion 14 are worn.
It is intended to withstand long-term use, for example, by preventing slippage in the plate thickness direction and no longer functioning.

The hinge according to the present invention is manufactured by a continuous die of sheet metal. The continuous type is one mold having a plurality of stages, and performs a plurality of steps such as bending and drilling. The protrusion-shaped portion 7 of the hinge component is crushed using one of the plurality of stages of the continuous type. It is formed by processing. Since the parts can be completed with a continuous mold, it is not necessary to replace the mold each time bending or drilling is performed, and workability is improved.

とができる。As described above, the hinge device according to the first aspect of the present invention is a hinge device for holding a refrigerator door of a refrigerator openably and closably in the refrigerator body. A bearing portion provided on the refrigerator door side while having a locking component to be engaged,
A protruding part of a hinge part that locks the refrigerator door in a closed state by engaging the lock part, and the protruding part of the hinge part is formed thinner than the hinge part body that engages with the bearing part, Since the lock part is formed thicker than the protruding part of the hinge part, there is little space for installing the hinge part in the refrigerator body and the door interval can be made small. It is possible to withstand long-term use by preventing wear of the shape part and preventing the projection part and the key-shaped lock part from deviating in the plate thickness direction and not functioning.
