Abstract: A door handle structure for a refrigerator of a type including at least one access door (2) hingedly supported at one side portion so as to move between opened and closed positions about a hinge axis (H) to thereby selectively open and close an opening leading to a refrigerator compartment. The access door (2) includes a front panel (4), a rear panel confronting the refrigerator compartment and upper and lower frame members (3a, 3b) and also includes a heat insulating material (5) filled in a space delimited by the front and rear panels and the upper and lower frame members (3a, 3b). The door handle structure includes a generally elongated handle (6) rigidly secured at one end to an opposite side portion of the access door (2) remote from the hinge axis (H). This handle (6) has a grip area (10) extending widthwise of the access door (2).

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve an increase in the housing capacity of a refrigerator as a whole, a conservation of power and easiness in handling of each chamber by cooling a vegetable chamber the highest in the temperature by conduction and radiation heat from the surrounding areas to simplify the structure of a cool air path. SOLUTION: There are arranged independently a cold storage compartment 3 at an upper part of the body 1 of a refrigerator, a low temperature chamber 6 at a lower part of the compartment, a freezer compartment 12 at a lower part of the body 1 of the refrigerator and a vegetable chamber 9 between the low temperature chamber 6 and the freezer compartment 12. The cold storage compartment 3 has a slide door 2, the low temperature chamber 6, the vegetable chamber 9 and the freezer compartment 12 have drawer doors 5, 8 and 11 respectively. A compressor 18 is installed at the rear lowest part of the body 1 of the refrigerator and a cooler 16 behind the vegetable chamber 9. The vegetable chamber 9 is surrounded by the low temperature chamber 6, the freezer compartment 12 and the cooler 16 to be cooled by conduction heat and radiation heat from them. This eliminates a path for sending cool air for forced cooling to the vegetable chamber 9.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate a housing space of an ice scoop in a freezer compartment vessel and contrive to make effective use of a storage capacity by providing an automatic ice making device on the top of a freezer compartment and providing the scoop on the top of the freezer compartment. SOLUTION: A section wall 11 segments the interior of a refrigerator into an upper stage cold storage 12 and a lower stage freezer compartment 1. A scoop 3 is mounted on the top of a freezer compartment in front of an automatic ice maker 2 mounted on the top of the freezer compartment. This construction makes it possible to expand the volume of an ice storage box 6 set up in a freezer vessel 9 loaded on a slide-out door 10. It is possible to eliminate the generation of a rattling sound in the ice storage box 6 and makes it difficult for the foodstuff to come in contact with an open air so that the interior is sanitary and makes it possible to minimize the transfer of odor of the other foodstuff in the freezer compartment 1.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve installing workability of an air blower, and to effectively use an invalid space in a refrigerator for cooling a storage chamber by forcibly circulating air by the air blower. SOLUTION: The air blower 44 is pressed and supported in the inmost part of a partition member 35. The partition member 35 is installed in an inner box 31. A heat insulating material 33 is filled and foamed to improve the installing workability for arranging the air blower 44 in the upper vicinity of a cooler 42. The invalid space in the partition member 35 can be utilized for installing the air blower 44 so that a space of a cooler chamber is reduced, and the effective volume of the refrigerating chamber 36 and a freezing chamber 37 can be expanded.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To save an installation space of a compressor, simplify electric wiring and enhance the reliability of an electronic control board by employing an efficient structure of a machine chamber panel storing and defining a compressor, an electronic control board, electric parts and the like of a refrigerator. SOLUTION: A recess 82 is formed by partially recessing a lower rear part of a refrigerator main body. Further, an electric part storage section 75, an enclosure 77 and the like disposed behind a cooling device are all formed of a resin so as to save installation space of a compressor 69, and distances between an electronic control board 76 and controlled units such as a compressor 69 and the like housed in the electric part storage section 75 are shortened so that electric wiring is simplified. Because the electric control board 76 and the compressor 69 are partitioned by the enclosure 77, the temperature of the electric control board 76 is restrained from being raised.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve a storing characteristic and an assembling characteristic by a method wherein a resilient force of a spring is not applied for fixing a water supplying tank but applied only with a resilient force of material itself. SOLUTION: A water supplying tank installing member 26 is made to have a resilient section 28, wherein it is fixed to a frame 31 and when a water supplying tank 7 is installed, it is plastically deformed in an up-and-down direction and connected to the water supplying tank 7. In addition, a water supplying tank pressing member 34 is also made to have a structure with a resilient section 37, the pressing member 34 is rotatably attached to the frame 31, this is plastically deformed by a pressing force and then the pressing force directed in a forward direction is attained. With such an arrangement as above, it is possible to provide an ice making device in which no spring is required for realizing a fixing force and a pushing force for the water supplying tank.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a refrigerator door to provide a gripping way with the degree of freedom, to widely occupy a grip part, provide excellent operability, and arrange a clean handle having excellent cleaning ability. SOLUTION: A refrigerator door is pivotally supported in front of a refrigerator body comprising upper and lower door frame materials; a door panel 4; and a heat insulation material 5 and openably mounted. A handle, adding an antibactrial material, to which a grip part 10 stretching from one direction in a lateral (horizontal) direction is attached is fixed at one end of the refrigerator door by means of screws 7. A recessed part 21 is formed in a door panel 4 at the periphery of the grip part 10 and a protrusion from a panel 4 is decreased. This constitution provides a refrigerator to effect gripping from three directions of upper and lower directions and a non-fixing direction, and be provided with a clean handle having excellent cleaning ability.
