A refrigerator that is capable of enabling a user to easily introduce or remove goods into or from the refrigerator is described. Specifically, a refrigerator that is capable of enabling a drawer for receiving goods to be more conveniently used is described. The refrigerator includes a cabinet having a storage compartment with a food introduction port formed in the front thereof, a door hingedly connected to the cabinet for opening and closing the storage compartment, a plurality of drawers disposed in the storage compartment, the drawers being arranged vertically, a moving frame extending vertically so as to correspond to the height at which the drawers are disposed, the moving frame being configured to selectively push the drawers such that the drawers are moved toward the food introduction port, an electric driving unit coupled to the moving frame for moving the moving frame toward the food introduction port, and a controller for controlling the electric driving unit to move the moving frame when it is sensed that the door is open.

A refrigerator has a wiring mechanism. The refrigerator comprises a cabinet and a drawer-type door body, wherein the cabinet forms a compartment provided with an opening facing forward, and the drawer-type door body is provided with an electrical component. The wiring mechanism comprises a cable for supplying power to the electrical component, and a drag chain for accommodating part of the cable, wherein one end of the drag chain is fixed inside the compartment, and the other end of the drag chain is connected to the drawer-type door body and moves forward and backward along with the drawer-type door body, thereby preventing the cable from being deformed and damaged, and ensuring a reliable electrical connection.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet defining a storage chamber, a door configured to open and close the storage chamber, a cooling device configured to cool the storage chamber, an elevation device configured to move a container in the storage chamber upward and downward, a locking device disposed at the elevation device and configured to, based on the elevation device being rotated about a front end of the elevation device in a folded state, lock the elevation device to the folded state and maintain the folded state, and a support plate that is disposed at the elevation device and includes a handle disposed at a rear portion of the support plate.

The invention concerns an ergonomic storage unit having at least one retractable container; and a mechanism configured to displace the at least one retractable container between two positions: a stowed position in which the retractable container is stowed in the storage unit; and an ergonomic position in which the retractable container is positioned in front of the storage unit and at a height which is different from that of the stowed position, in a manner such that the retractable container is more accessible as regards to height compared with the stowed position. The mechanism is configured to support the weight of the retractable container by distributing the weight on either side of the mechanism in the width direction of the retractable container, thereby establishing lateral access to the retractable container in the ergonomic position.
