refrigerator

Abstract

To reduce self-closing force of a door that is generated from torsion occurring in a lead wire when the door is open.SOLUTION: A refrigerator includes: a housing 70 having an opening on a front side; a door 2a for opening and closing the opening; a hinge 31 for the door 2a; an elastic body 34 disposed on an inside of the hinge 31 and partially fixed to the door 2a; and a torsion body 32 inserted into the inside of the elastic body 34 and twisting in accordance with opening and closing of the door 2a. The elastic body 34 is disposed so as to have a slight torsion amount or be free from any torsion amount to be subjected to in accordance with a torsion amount of the torsion body 32 or to solve the torsion while the door 2a is on an open side rather than a full-closed state.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
