Hereinafter, the tray 200 and the basket 300 will be separately described, but the tray 200 and the basket 300 may be integrally formed. The integrally formed tray 200 and the basket 300 may be referred to as food storage containers. The food storage container may also be referred to as a vegetable storage basket which is generally used in a refrigerator.

The cabinet 10 forms the appearance of the refrigerator and forms a storage compartment 20 therein.

The storage room 20 may be a freezing room or a freezing room, for example. Hereinafter, it will be assumed that the storage chamber 20 is a refrigerating chamber, but the present invention can also be applied to a case where the storage chamber 20 is a freezing chamber.

The rail 100 is mounted on the bottom surface 21 of the storage chamber 20 and serves as a moving member by guiding sliding movement of the tray 200 located in the upper portion in the forward and backward directions. As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the rails 100 may have a rectangular parallelepiped shape, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and any shape and number that can guide the sliding movement of the tray 200 are possible . It is also noted that the rail 100 may be omitted in some cases.

The tray 200 is coupled to the rail 100 so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction. In addition, a basket 300 may be mounted on the tray 200. 3, the tray 200 may be in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped having an open top, but is not limited thereto. The lower surface of the tray 200 may be coupled to the rail 100 so as to be slidably movable, Any shape that can be accommodated is possible.

The tray 200 may include a front surface 210, a back surface 220, a bottom surface 230, and a side surface 240.

The front surface 210 may be inclined toward the upper front as shown in FIG. When the front surface 210 is inclined as described above, it is easy for the user to mount and remove the basket 300 to be described later on the tray 200. Particularly, when the inclined surfaces 311 and 321 of the basket 300 to be described later have inclination corresponding to the front surface 210, it is easier to attach and detach the basket 300 to and from the tray 200.

The front surface 210 may be formed to be lower than the height of the first surface 210 and the second surface 220 of the basket 300 to be described later. As described above, when the front surface 210 is formed as low as described above, it is easy for the user to attach and detach the basket 300 to and from the tray 200 as in the case where the front surface 210 is inclined forward.

That is, the front surface 210 of the tray 200 may be inclined to facilitate removal of the basket 300, but may be formed to have a predetermined height. However, when the user pushes the basket 300 to take out the stored contents stored in the basket 300 It is necessary to prevent the basket 300 from being detached from the tray 200 even though the user does not intend to remove the basket 300 from the tray 200.

The rear surface 220 may be formed to face the front surface 210 and be inclined in a direction opposite to the front surface 210, that is, upwardly downward. In this case, each of the inclined surfaces 311 and 312 of the basket 300 has an inclination corresponding to the front surface 210 and the rear surface 220, so that the basket 300 can be firmly fixed when the basket 300 is seated on the tray 200 .

The bottom surface 230 is a portion where the basket 300 is seated. Stepped portions 231a and 231b may be formed on both sides of the bottom surface 230 to provide a space capable of engaging with the pair of rails 100. As shown in FIG. 4, rail receiving portions 232a and 232b are formed below the stepped portions 231a and 231b, respectively, and are coupled to the pair of rails 100, respectively.

[

The side surface 240 of the tray 200 is connected to the front surface 210, the rear surface 220 and the bottom surface 230 and is positioned on the side of the tray 200. In the present invention, And it is provided on the bottom surface 230 without having the structure of FIG.

The basket 300 is detachably mounted on the tray 200 and the upper cover 400 is positioned on the basket 300.

The basket 300 may be in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped having an open top, but is not limited thereto, and any shape that can be mounted on the tray 200 and accommodate the stored product is possible.

The basket 300 may include a first side 310, a second side 320, a bottom side 330, and a side 340.

The first surface 310 and the second surface 320 have different heights. The first surface 310 and the second surface 320 having different heights may be selectively inserted into the tray 200 so that the basket 300 faces forward when any one of the two surfaces is accommodated in the storage chamber 20. [ As shown in FIG.

The height of the first surface 310 is higher than the height of the second surface 320 as shown in FIG. When the basket 300 is mounted on the tray 200 and the basket 300 is completely drawn into the storage chamber 20 so that the first surface 310 faces forward, (See 350 in FIG. 7) of the basket 300 by contacting the basket 400 with the basket 300.

The height of the second surface 320 is less than the height of the first surface 310. The second surface 320 is configured such that when the basket 300 is mounted on the tray 200 such that the second side 320 faces forward and the basket 300 is completely drawn into the storage chamber 20, (See 360 in Fig. 7). In this case, the user can take out the storage material having a relatively short length, such as a beverage can, as needed, through the spacing space 360 without withdrawing the basket 300 forward. In this case, since the process of withdrawing and pulling the basket 300 is omitted, the time required for opening the refrigerator door (not shown) is shortened, so that the power consumption can be expected to be reduced.

The first surface 310 and the second surface 320 may have inclined surfaces 311 and 321 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, respectively. Each of the slopes 311, And may have an inclination corresponding to each of the front surface 210 and the rear surface 220 of the tray 200 as previously discussed.
