ABSTRACT:
A damping apparatus for a refrigerator has a first space formed in the interior of a cabinet of the refrigerator, a second space which is separated from the first space by a stopping protrusion and is in communication relation with the first space, a first damping member expandably mounted in the second space, and a protrusion formed on one side of a door for closing the first damping member. When the door is pivoted to be closed, the protrusion closes the first damping member so that the air in the interior of the first damping member is exhausted outside, dampening the reactive force generated in a compartment. On the other hand, when the door is pivoted to be opened, the second damping member is pressed so that the force by the negative pressure in the interior of the compartment is dampened. The damping apparatus for a refrigerator can dampen the force needed when the door is opened or closed.
