ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a supplementary shelf assembly for a refrigerator. The supplementary shelf assembly of the present invention comprises a pair of support skirts mounted on a ceiling of a storage space and formed with at least two guide slots in front and rear ends thereof; at least two support links each of which includes a connection portion having a length relatively shorter than a distance between the support skirts, support guide portions extending perpendicular from both ends of the connection portion, respectively, and penetration portions extending outwardly and in parallel to the connection portions from ends of the support guide portions and penetrating the corresponding guide slots to be moved along the guide slots, respectively; and a supplementary shelf rotatably supported by the connection portions, and moved forward or rearward of the storage space and then elevated or lowered to be selectively located on a position near the ceiling of the storage space or on a position spaced apart by a predetermined interval from the ceiling of the storage space. According to the present invention, since a front and rear length of the supplementary shelf is equal to that of the main shelf, the storage space can be effectively utilized. Further, since the supplementary shelf is inadvertently swung due to a simple structure during its use, the supplementary shelf assembly can be simply manufactured and assembled. Furthermore, since the accommodation and withdrawal of the supplementary shelf is performed in regular manner, the operational reliability thereof can be improved and storage articles can be stably placed on the supplementary shelf.
