A refrigerator may include a cabinet, a drawer, a driving part, a cable tray, and a rack gear assembly. Connecting members of the cable tray may be maintained in an anti-sagging state by a tray guide part, so that friction noise generated during moving of the cable tray is prevented and interference with the cable tray during moving of the drawer is prevented.

A refrigerator includes a lift that moves a container upward and downward. The refrigerator may include: a cabinet having a storage chamber provided therein and an opening; at least one door provided such that a front of the storage chamber provided in the cabinet is opened and closed; a cooling device cooling the storage chamber; the lift provided at a side of the storage chamber to fold downward and unfold upward so as to move the container upward and downward; and an anti-loosening device provided at a side of the lift and allowing the lift to rotate relative to a front end thereof when the lift is removed upward so as to maintain a folded state of the lift.

A refrigerator includes: a cabinet having a storage chamber provided therein and an open front; a cooling device cooling the storage chamber; a drawer including a front panel and a storage bin, the front panel allowing an open front portion of the storage chamber to be opened and closed and the storage bin being provided in rear of the front panel and storing a container or food therein; an inner first cover provided at the storage bin so as to cover a rear end portion of an inner space of the storage bin; and a raising/lowering lift device provided at a side of the storage chamber to fold downward and unfold upward for vertical movement of a container; and a second covering provided to cover a gap between the raising/lowering device and the inner cover.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet having a storage space therein, and a drawer slidably movable forward and backward from the storage space. The drawer includes a door, a storage box provided at a rear surface of the door, an elevation plate disposed within the storage box, and an elevation device connected with one side of the elevation plate to vertically elevate the elevation plate. The elevation device includes a driving motor, a curved rack to rotate by a rotational force generated by the driving motor, the curved rack being curved at a predetermined curvature, and an elevation bar to connect the curved rack with the elevation plate, the elevation bar to rotate together with the curved rack to ascend and descend the elevation plate.

The present disclosure relates a shelf support device and a cooking appliance with the same. The shelf support device includes a rail extending in forward and backward directions to locate a front end portion over a rear end portion, including an upper surface portion and a lower surface portion; and a support unit at which a shelf is mounted at an upper portion of the support unit, coupled to the rail to be movable along the movement path formed by each of the upper surface portion and the lower surface portion, and configured to change a position of the shelf in an upward direction when being moved in the forward direction and the position of the shelf in a downward direction when being moved in the backward direction.

A lifting device for a dish receptacle of a dishwasher, in particular a household dishwasher, includes a drive facility configured to assist a manual raising or lowering of the dish receptacle between a start position and an end position by applying a supporting force. A control facility activates the drive facility as a function of a manual actuation force when the dish receptacle is raised or lowered manually and a sensor facility is provided to detect the manual actuation force. A transmission facility transmits the manual actuation force from a handle of the dish receptacle to the sensor facility.

A shelf assembly includes a frame assembly having a side member, wherein the frame assembly is operable between stowed and extended positions. A rack assembly includes a first rack hingedly coupled to a second rack. The first rack and the second rack are pivotally coupled to the side member of the frame assembly, and the rack assembly is operable between first and second positions. The first rack and the second rack are angled towards a pivot axis defined between the first rack and the second rack when the rack assembly is in the second position. The rack assembly moves from the first position to the second position as the frame assembly moves from the stowed position to the extended position.

The present invention is a drawer that is easily accessible on a chair by a disabled person or elderly person who has difficulty with standing or sitting. The drawer is on the side of the chair. The drawer can be reached while the person is sitting. There is a cover over the drawer, and the cover opens sideways. The present invention can be applied to multi-use sofas with armrests on both sides. The present invention can utilize electronic locking on one or both sides of the drawer near the top of the drawer. The present invention can also utilize biometric fingerprints as a means of locking. The present invention allows access to the drawer using only one's arms, so no standing up is necessary.

A refrigerator includes a rack gear assembly on a lower surface of a drawer, and the rack gear assembly has a first rack member and a second rack member moved forward sequentially while moving forward such that an opening distance of the drawer is maximized. In addition, a noise reduction part is provided between a stopper member and a confining protrusion part constituting the rack gear assembly. Accordingly, although the stopper member collides with the confining protrusion part, impact noise is reduced and damage caused by the collision is prevented.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet having a storage space therein, and a drawer slidably movable forward and backward from the storage space. The drawer includes a door, a storage box provided at a rear surface of the door, an elevation plate disposed within the storage box, and an elevation device connected with one side of the elevation plate to vertically elevate the elevation plate. The elevation device includes a driving motor, a curved rack to rotate by a rotational force generated by the driving motor, the curved rack being curved at a predetermined curvature, and an elevation bar to connect the curved rack with the elevation plate, the elevation bar to rotate together with the curved rack to ascend and descend the elevation plate.
