Disclosed herein is a refrigerator having a structure to be assembled in the manufacturing of the refrigerator and configured to reduce a load applied to a drive unit driving a rail although a position of the rail is displaced with respect to a refrigerator body. The refrigerator includes a body, a storage compartment disposed inside the body and provided with an opening, a drawer configured to open and close the opening of the storage compartment, and a sliding apparatus configured to slidably support the drawer against the storage compartment and the sliding apparatus includes a first rail installed on an inner wall of the storage compartment, a second rail installed on the drawer and configured to be slidable with respect to the first rail, and a drive unit installed on the first rail and configured to provide a driving force to slide the second rail.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet including an inner case, and a drawer assembly installed in the inner case. The drawer assembly includes a basket which forms a receiving space and can be pulled in and out of the inner case, a supporter assembly connected to the basket to guide an insertion or withdrawal of the basket, and a cover connected to the supporter assembly to cover or uncover the receiving space. The cover may be movable in a direction opposite to a movement of the basket when the basket is inserted or withdrawn. The basket includes a protrusion configured to engage with or disengage from a notch of a connection member to facilitate or prevent transmission of a movement force of the basket to the cover.

A flexibly partitioned drawer comprises a drawer body formed with an accommodating cavity and at least one partitioning member that moves left and right and is disposed in the accommodating cavity for use in partitioning the accommodating cavity. Leading and trailing ends of the dividing member respectively protrude in the direction of front and rear walls of the drawer body to form protruding portions. The front and rear walls of the drawer body are respectively formed thereon with sliding grooves that cooperate with corresponding side protruding portions so as to provide the dividing member with movement along the left and right directions. The sliding grooves penetrate side walls of the drawer body such that the accommodating cavity communicates with an outer part of the drawer body.

Methods and apparatuses are provided for cooling of beverages containers, such as cans or bottles, quickly, or on demand. An apparatus may provide for quickly cooling a number of beverage containers when power is available and for storing them, once they have been cooled. The apparatus may include a thermoelectric cooler configured to rapidly cool a beverage container in a cooling cell. The methods may include detecting the presence of a beverage container in a cooling cell and cooling the beverage container to a selected temperature. The availability of external power may be detected and a rapid cooling of a beverage container may begin when power becomes available.

A movable platen cooling apparatus includes: a compressor; a cold head that includes a cooling part; a refrigerator gas supply line that supplies a refrigerant gas from the compressor to the cold head; a refrigerator gas exhaust line that exhausts the refrigerant gas from the cold head to the compressor; a first gas inflow line that is connected to a first movable platen flow path and includes a heat exchange part thermally coupled to the cooling part; a first gas outflow line connected to the first movable platen flow path and merged with the refrigerator gas exhaust line; a second gas inflow line connected to a second movable platen flow path and disposed to be thermally non-coupled with the cooling part; and a second gas outflow line connected to the second movable platen flow path and merged with the refrigerator gas exhaust line.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet including an inner case; and a drawer assembly installed in the inner case, in which the drawer assembly includes: a basket which forms a receiving space and can be pulled in and out of the storage chamber; a supporter assembly connected to the basket, the supporter assembly to guide the pulling-in and out of the basket; and a cover connected to the supporter assembly, the cover covering the receiving space, the cover being movable in a direction opposite to the basket when the basket is pulled in and out. The basket includes a first roller installed close to a rear end of the side wall thereof.

Included are systems, methods and devices for cooling beverages, comprising an upper insulated basin sized to allow placement of cooling fluid and beverage containers; a separator device sized to restrain the beverage containers such that during agitation, each of the beverage containers does not impact any other of the beverage containers or the side surface of the upper insulated basin and allows for cooling fluid to contact an exterior surface of each of the beverage containers; and an agitation section placeable in physical communication with the upper basin that can provide, when activated, motion to the upper insulated basin.

A refrigerated oven and system for cooking food items to be ready to eat at a desired time. The oven has a cooking compartment attached to or integral with a refrigerator unit. An interior chamber of the cooking compartment is in fluid flow communication with the refrigerator unit and configured to receive a food item therein. The food item can be kept refrigerated until cooked. Air flow doors allow or prevent cold air from the refrigerator unit flowing into the interior chamber and hot air from the cooking compartment flowing into the refrigerator unit. A control device opens and closes the doors to cool or cook the food item, start the cooking process at the desired temperature and stop cooking at the desired time. The control device is remotely accessed by a smart phone or other electronic device. The cooking compartments can be removably connected to the refrigerator unit.

A refrigerated delivery receiving furniture system for discretely securing refrigerated items outside a structure such as a dwelling until the items can be brought into and stored within the structure includes a piece of furniture having a frame and a seat coupled to the frame. A container having an interior space is coupled to the piece of furniture. A lid is movably coupled to the container to selectively cover the interior space. The lid is movable between an open position and a closed position. A refrigeration is coupled to the container includes a compressor such that the refrigeration assembly cools the interior space.

The present invention discloses a storage device and a refrigerator having the same. The storage device comprises a body, an regulating assembly, a first partition frame and a second partition frame, wherein the first partition frame is connected onto a pair of side walls of the body, the second partition frame is rotatably connected onto the first partition frame through the regulating assembly, the regulating assembly comprises: a first regulating mechanism fitted and connected with the first partition frame, on which a first concave-convex curved surface is formed; and a second regulating mechanism fitted and connected with the second partition frame, on which a second concave-convex curved surface is formed; when the first and second regulating mechanisms are relatively rotated, the first and second concave-convex curved surfaces are butted against each other to enable the first and second regulating mechanisms to reciprocate in the vertical direction.
