Abstract: PURPOSE:To eliminate from the manufacturing process of a heat-insulated casing, which is one provided with a reinforcing member at the lower part of the outer casing, the possibility of electric welding causing a shunted discharge resulting in formation of a hole in a heat discharging pipe and impairment of the cooling capacity and also make the heat-insulated casing resistive to a horizontal twist by fitting a substantially U-shaped reinforcing member on three planes formed by the lower part of each of the two side plates. CONSTITUTION:The front edge of an outer casing, framing its opening, is fashioned into a flange made up of a double flange 9 and an extended flange 21 and having a hole 25 for fitting, on which another contact-bonded flange functioning as a reinforcing member is fitted by applying pressure and fixed thereto by caulking having contact-bonded flange deformation part 26 on the last-mentioned flange in place for the fixation.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a refrigerator which can reduce power consumption with a door device while providing an easily handleable door device that achieves a higher food housing performance inside a door with a less door opening force. SOLUTION: There are arranged a first gasket 135 provided on the rear periphery of doors 107 and 108 of a double door type and a pair of second gaskets 134 which is mounted on the side facing the non-pivoted side being partially sealed on the first gasket so as to be rotatable with rotating shafts 127 and 128 of holding members 129 and 130. Latch parts 125 and 126 of the holding members 129 and 130 are kept in contact with a protrusion 110 on the side of a thermally insulated box body 104 to operate the second gaskets 134. This allows close contact between the thermally insulated box body 104 and the doors 107 and 108 and between the doors 107 and 108 accurately or the releasing of the contact with a simple structure.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve sealing ability and heat insulation properties of a partition part to partition the internal part of a storage chamber. SOLUTION: A foamable heat insulation material 13 is injected in a lateral partition plate through a recessed hole formed in an inner box 12 to form a heat insulation section. The foamable heat insulation material 13 is caused to leak through the lower hole of the lateral partition plate to securely seal an engaging part and the upper part of a vertical partition plate 26. Further, the foamable heat insulation material 13 is caused to leak to the deep part of the vertical partition plate 26 through a hole 31 of a recess 30 of the inner box 12 and by securely sealing the vertical partition plate 26 and the inner box 12, sealing ability and the heat insulation properties of the partition part are improved.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To transmit the light of a lamp into a cold storage room effectively through an illumination cover by providing the refrigerator with the illumination cover of such a size that it covers the whole region of the rear, in front of the rear plate of the cold storage room. SOLUTION: An illumination cover 17 excellent in design property can be made by setting an illumination cover 17 equivalent to a rear plate 14 or wider than it without regard to the width of the cavity 15 made in the rear board 14. Then, the illumination cover 17 becomes wider than the rear plate 14, so the light of a lamp 16 spreading through the illumination cover 17 reaches every corner of the cold storage room, and this can exhibit the illumination effect enough. Moreover, the back side of the cold storage room 1 is covered across the board with only the illumination cover 17, so this can give the user the impression of wildness and neatness all inside the refrigerator since the back side of the refrigerator is covered with only the illumination cover 17.
