ABSTRACT:
A home-bar door opening/closing device for a refrigerator. Guide slots72are provided in both side surfaces of an opening59provided in a refrigerator door55and connected to one ends of links75which rotate and vertically move. Then, a home-bar door63is installed in the opening59so that an upper end of the home-bar door63vertically rotates about a hinge65. The other ends of the links75are pivotably connected to both side surfaces of the home-bar door63, respectively. An upward elastic force from coil springs77is provided to the one ends of the links75, while an elastic force from torsion springs79is provided to the other ends of the links75. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce the impact due to the rapid opening of the home-bar door.
