DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 and 2, 1 is a refrigerator,
2 is a partition wall that partitions the inside of the refrigerator 1 and divides the vegetable compartment below, 3 is a door provided on the front of the vegetable compartment so that it can be put in and taken out forward and backward, 4 is detachably held on the back side of the door 3. The vegetable case 4a is a slanted portion on the rear side of a recess formed near the front of the flange on both sides of the vegetable case 4, and 5 is a lid body for covering the upper portion of the vegetable case 4 on both front sides of the lid body 5. A roller 6 rotatably supported is provided in the lower part of the roller 6, and when the door 3 is closed, the roller 6 is positioned in a recess formed in the flange of the vegetable case 4, as shown in FIG.
The lid 5 covers the upper portion of the vegetable case 4 and hermetically seals it. 7 is a packing made of an elastic material that is adhered around the lower portion of the lid 5, and the packing 7 is used to tightly seal the flange portion of the vegetable case 4 by the weight of the lid 5. ing. As shown in FIG. 4, 8 is a convex portion integrally formed on one side or both sides of the lid 5 toward the rear side, and 9 is integrally formed at a substantially central side surface of the refrigerator 1 corresponding to the convex portion. With the protruding boss, the door 3
When the vegetable case 4 is pulled out, as shown in FIG. 3, the convex portion 8 and the boss 9 come into contact with each other so that the lid 5 is restricted and the concave portion formed in the flange of the vegetable case 4 is closed. The positioned roller 6 moves from the concave portion to the upper surface of the flange of the vegetable case 4 through the inclined portion 4a, and the front portion of the upper portion of the vegetable case 4 is positioned in a half-open state for positioning.

With the above structure, the door 3 and the vegetable case 4 are pulled out, and the front side of the upper part of the vegetable case 4 is positioned in a half-opened state so that the vegetable case 4 can be positioned without impairing the airtightness of the vegetable case 4. The refrigerator is convenient for taking out the vegetables contained in the case 4. Further, when removing the lid body 5 from the upper portion of the vegetable case 4, it is possible to easily hang it by fingers, and further,
Similarly, when the door 3 is closed, the lid 5 is easily attached to the upper portion of the vegetable case 4 and the refrigerator is sealed.

[0008]

As described above, according to the present invention, when the door and the vegetable case are pulled out, the front part of the upper part of the vegetable case is opened halfway, so that the sealing of the vegetable case is not impaired. It becomes a refrigerator that is convenient to take out the vegetables stored in the vegetable case.
