Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a refrigerator design with a main door and a sub-door that opens and closes the opening of the main door. The sub-door is filled with a heat insulating material and has a locking member and an operation member.

  • The sub-door is rotatable and is used to open and close the opening of the main door.
  • The sub-door is filled with a heat insulating material to maintain the temperature inside the refrigerator.
  • The locking member protrudes from the sub-door and is used to lock the main door securely.
  • The operation member is located below the locking member and can be directly operated by the user.
  • The locking member and the operation member are connected through a connection member, so when the operation member is operated, the locking member also operates.
  • The connection member is accommodated inside a connection member case, which is located inside the sub-door.
  • The connection member case is designed with a reinforcement part that extends along the case in an upper-and-lower direction to prevent deformation of the connection member.
