Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a refrigerator with an improved structure for the receiving device in the storage chamber to prevent damage to the receiving container cover. The refrigerator includes a receiving container, a receiving container cover with a front frame portion, a guide rail, and a reinforcing member. The guide rail has a through hole for the reinforcing member to pass through. The receiving container cover also has an extended portion with a support surface and a rail part to guide movement of the receiving container. The front frame portion has a support rib to support the reinforcing member. The technical effect of the invention is to reinforce the strength of the receiving container cover to prevent deformation or damage.

Problems solved by technology

Thus, the receiving container cover 2 may be bent or damaged when a large load is exerted on the receiving container cover 2.
Particularly, the above-mentioned problem becomes more serious in a French type refrigerator which has been recently developed.
Accordingly, in the French type refrigerator, the receiving container cover 2 is designed to have a larger width, and the receiving container cover 2 may be more easily bent or damaged.
