The present invention provides a storage device for a refrigerator, including: a plurality of boxes, a rotating shaft and a plurality of damping masses, so that the boxes can stay stationary at any rotation position at any time when are rotated around the rotating shaft, which ensures smooth rotation of the boxes during the opening and closing thereof, and thus facilitates the user to pick and place eggs and improves the stability of the fragile eggs within the rotating boxes.

In a refrigerator including a sliding door configured to open and close a storage chamber, a storage basket provided on a rear portion of the sliding door, and a support frame configured to support the sliding door and the storage basket, sidewalls of the storage basket may be formed so as to protrude outwardly except a lower portion in which the support frame is disposed between an inner case and the sidewalls, thereby increasing a storage space of the storage basket. In addition, a front protrusion, an auxiliary protrusion, and a rear protrusion are formed in an upper portion of the storage basket, and therefore a relative position of an auxiliary basket to the storage basket may be limited, and the auxiliary basket may be drawn into and out in conjunction with drawn-in and -out movements of the storage basket.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet that defines a lower storage space, a front panel door part configured to open and close the lower storage space, a drawer part connected to the front panel door part, a support member located at the drawer part, and an elevation assembly located at the front panel door part and configured to elevate the support member relative to the drawer part. The elevation assembly includes at least one elevation member that extends from the front panel door part to the drawer part and that passes through the drawer part, and a driving device that is located in the front panel door part, that is configured to provide power to the at least one elevation member, and that is configured to cause a vertical movement of the at least one elevation member relative to the drawer part.

A shelf includes a floor plate, a cam plate, and a first pin joint plate. The cam plate extends away from an upper surface of the floor plate. A top edge of the cam plate is opposite a bottom edge of the cam plate that is mounted to the upper surface and has a concave shape that curves inward toward the upper surface. The first pin joint plate is mounted to the floor plate to extend away from a lower surface of the floor plate. The first pin joint plate is configured to mate with a second pin joint plate mounted to a first wall. The top edge of the cam plate is positioned to abut a tab mounted to the second wall when the floor plate is rotated toward the second wall. The upper surface faces the second wall when the floor plate is rotated toward the second wall.

An elevation device for a refrigerator drawer includes a lower frame, an upper frame, and a lifting assembly. The lifting assembly includes: a pair of first rods having a first end rotatably coupled to the lower frame and a second end that translates along the upper frame; and a pair of second rods having a first end rotatably coupled to the upper frame and a second end that translates along the lower frame. The second rod is rotatably coupled to and crosses the first rod. The first or second rod is connected to a driving device via the first end of the first or second rod, with the driving device disposed outside the upper frame and the lower frame. The first and second rods are configured to, based on power from the driving device, rotate about their respective first ends to elevate the upper frame relative to the lower frame.

A refrigerator includes: a cabinet; a front panel door part; a drawer part configured to be connected to the front panel door part and to insert into and withdraw from the cabinet based on movement of the front panel door part relative to the cabinet; a support member located in the drawer part and configured to seat an object stored in the drawer part; and an elevation device that is located at each of a first side surface of the drawer part and a second side surface of the drawer part, that is configured to be coupled to each of a first side of the support member and a second side of the support member, and that is configured to elevate the support member relative to the drawer part in a state in which the drawer part is withdrawn from a lower storage space defined in the cabinet.

A vacuum adiabatic body includes a first plate, a second plate, and a seal for sealing the first plate and the second plate to provide a vacuum space. Optionally, the vacuum adiabatic body includes a supporter for maintaining the vacuum space. Optionally, the vacuum adiabatic body includes a heat transfer resistor for reducing heat transfer between the first plate and the second plate. Optionally, the vacuum adiabatic body includes a component coupler that is connected to at least one of the first and second plates and to which the component is coupled. Optionally, the vacuum adiabatic body includes a side plate extending in a height direction of the vacuum space. Thus, a vacuum adiabatic body for achieving an industrial purpose is provided.

An elevation device for a refrigerator drawer includes a lower frame, an upper frame, and a lifting assembly. The lifting assembly includes: a pair of first rods having a first end rotatably coupled to the lower frame and a second end that translates along the upper frame; and a pair of second rods having a first end rotatably coupled to the upper frame and a second end that translates along the lower frame. The second rod is rotatably coupled to and crosses the first rod. The first or second rod is connected to a driving device via the first end of the first or second rod, with the driving device disposed outside the upper frame and the lower frame. The first and second rods are configured to, based on power from the driving device, rotate about their respective first ends to elevate the upper frame relative to the lower frame.

A refrigerator has a moving basket. The refrigerator includes a door, a rail member, and a roller member. The door opens and closes a cabinet and has a separate storage room. The rail member is received in a rail receiving part provided at each of left and right opposite sides of the storage room and has a space therein. The roller member is coupled to the rail member so that the basket lifts and lowers along the rail member in the storage room. The insertion hole is defined by being open at the left and right opposite sides of the storage room corresponding to the rail receiving part. The insertion hole defines the trajectory of the lifting and lowering of the basket. The cover member is provided inside the rail receiving part and covers the insertion hole by being lifted and lowered during the lifting and lowering of the basket.

A support assembly includes a support surface configured to selectively transition between a stowed position, a deployed position, and an intermediate position defined between the stowed position and the deployed position. A retention feature is operably coupled to the support surface and is configured to transition the support surface between the stowed position and the deployed position. The retention feature includes a projection about which the support surface pivots to define a pivot axis. A bracket is coupled to the support surface and is configured to distribute a load along the support assembly in the intermediate position and the deployed position.
