Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1621837A2] In a refrigerator which includes a main body (10) having a lower cooling chamber (18) disposed at a lower portion of the main body, a base frame (30) is disposed to be moved in inward/outward directions at a lower cooling chamber (18) and has a drawer door (22) at a front side thereof. A lift frame (36) is disposed above the base frame (30), on which a basket (20) is placed. A rotatable lead screw (40) is vertically disposed at a rear surface of the drawer door (22), and a lift unit is formed at front of the lift frame (36) for moving up and down along the lead screw (40). A driving unit (38) rotates the lead screw (40) clockwise or counterclockwise. When the basket (20) is drawn out, the basket can be lifted to allow the user to take a food item out of the basket without bending his/her back. Thus, users' convenience can be enhanced.
