Disclosed herein is a refrigerator. The refrigerator includes a body having a storage compartment therein, a storage body provided to be inserted into or withdrawn from the storage compartment, and a rail device configured to connect the body and the storage body slidingly and to guide insertion and withdrawal of the storage body, wherein the rail device includes a first rail member having a first guider therein, a second rail member slidingly coupled to the first rail member, and a first retainer disposed at an insertion position between the first rail member and the second rail member when the first rail member is inserted into the first retainer and having a first guide protrusion inserted into the first guider movably, formed in the first retainer, and the first guider limits a range of movement in an insertion direction of the first retainer when the first retainer is inserted into the first guider so that the first retainer is located at the insertion position.

One embodiment of the present invention provides a slide device including a fixed rail fixedly installed on a main body, a moving rail provided to be movable with respect to the fixed rail, a body provided in an end region of one side of the fixed rail and including a guide passage, a slider which is coupled to the body and is selectively and slidably movable in a longitudinal direction of the body when the moving rail slidably moves, a transfer pin which is rotatably coupled to the slider and is movable along the guide passage, an elastic member disposed between and connected to the body and the slider and configured to be elastically compressed or expanded when the slider moves, and a damper which is provided on the body and of which an end portion of a rod is connected to the slider.

A self-close drawer mechanism includes a housing, a slidable self-close latch selectively positionable within the housing, a rotatable cam element in the housing, a flexible link system extending around the cam element, and a spring applying stored force to the sliding self-close latch through the flexible link. Dual cam surfaces in the cam elements realize a decreasing pull force as the user opens the drawer and provides smoother opening and closing operations with an improved user experience.

A sliding device is provided for a drawer which may provide a detent function by an elastic displacement to a rail member enabling a storage body to be moved from a main body in a sliding manner, thereby implementing a fixed maintenance force having a more robust state at a drawn-into location of the storage body to the main body. The sliding device includes: a first rail member which has a locking projection, an intermediate rail member coupled to be movable with respect to the first rail member, a second rail member coupled to be movable with respect to the intermediate rail member at a location opposite to the first rail member, and a detent member which is provided on the second rail member, and has an opening which accommodates the locking projection and a constraining protrusion which suppresses the locking projection from being separated from the opening.

A pull-out guide has a guide rail, a running rail, which is mounted in a displaceable manner on the guide rail, and a braking device disposed between the guide rail and the running rail for braking the movement of the running rail relative to the guide rail. The braking device has at least one friction element, which is arranged between the running rail and the guide rail and can be displaced along a sliding surface by way of a contact pressure. The pull-out guide can thus be braked with continuous forces over a long period of time.

A drive device includes a carrier, an ejection device for ejecting a moveable furniture part out of a closed position, and a locking device for locking the ejection device in the locked position. The locking device has a locking pin connected to the ejection device and a guide track for the locking pin in or on the carrier. The locking pin is locked in an engaging recess of the guide track in the locked position, and a synchronisation device is movable relative to the carrier for synchronising the movement of the drive device with a second drive device. The synchronisation device has a transmission element to be moved by the locking pin. The transmission element remains still with the overpressure movement, can be moved by the locking pin during opening movement, can be moved by the locking pin during closing movement, and is linearly moveably mounted on the carrier.
