Refrigerator

Abstract

Disclosed is a refrigerator having a door, a tiltable pocket, shelf or bin including a suspension projection, a pair of connecting shafts coupling the tiltable pocket, shelf or bin to the door, and a tilt stopper on a surface of the refrigerator coupled to one of the connecting shafts that prevent the tiltable pocket, shelf or bin from rotating beyond a predetermined angle.

1 . A refrigerator, comprising:
 a door;   a tiltable pocket, shelf or bin comprising a suspension projection;   a pair of connecting shafts coupling the tiltable pocket, shelf or bin to the door; and   a tilt stopper on a surface of the door coupled to one of the connecting shafts that prevents the tiltable pocket, shelf or bin from rotating beyond a predetermined angle,   
       wherein the tilt stopper include a suspension member and plurality of hangers inside the suspension member to support the suspension member, wherein the suspension member has hook-shaped and stops the tiltable pocket, shelf or bin from rotating when the hanger contacts suspension projection of the tiltable pocket, shelf or bin. 
     
     
         2 . (canceled) 
     
     
         3 . The refrigerator of  claim 1 , wherein the suspension projection has a round or cylindrical shape. 
     
     
         4 . The refrigerator of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of hangers have a hook shape. 
     
     
         5 . The refrigerator of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of hangers comprise one or more concave troughs or depressions. 
     
     
         6 . The refrigerator of  claim 5 , wherein the each trough or depression provides a different rotational angle of the tiltable pocket, shelf or bin when engaged with the suspension projection. 
     
     
         7 . The refrigerator of  claim 6 , wherein the rotational angles provided by neighboring concave troughs or depressions have a difference of about  10 -22.5°. 
     
     
         8 . The refrigerator of  claim 1 , further comprising a stopper fixing unit connecting the tilt stopper to a surface of the door. 
     
     
         9 . A refrigerator, comprising:
 a door;   a tiltable pocket, shelf or bin comprising a suspension projection;   a pair of connecting shafts coupling the tiltable pocket, shelf or bin to the door;   a tilt stopper on a surface of the door coupled to one of the connecting shafts that prevents the tiltable pocket, shelf or bin from rotating beyond a first predetermined angle; and   a sub-stopper on a lower surface of the door that prevents the tiltable pocket, shelf or bin from rotating beyond a second predetermined angle,   
       wherein the tilt stopper include a suspension member and a plurality of hangers inside the suspension member to support the suspension member, 
       wherein the suspension member has hook-shaped and stops the tiltable pocket, shelf or bin from rotating when the hanger contacts suspension projection of the tiltable pocket, shelf or bin. 
     
     
         10 . (canceled) 
     
     
         11 . The refrigerator of  claim 9 , wherein the suspension projection has a round or cylindrical shape. 
     
     
         12 . The refrigerator of  claim 9 , wherein the plurality of hangers have a hook shape. 
     
     
         13 . The refrigerator of  claim 9 , wherein the plurality of hangers comprise one or more concave troughs or depressions. 
     
     
         14 . The refrigerator of  claim 13 , wherein the each trough or depression provides a different rotational angle of the tiltable pocket, shelf or bin when engaged with the suspension projection. 
     
     
         15 . The refrigerator of  claim 14 , wherein the rotational angles provided by neighboring concave troughs or depressions have a difference of about 10-22.5°. 
     
     
         16 . The refrigerator of  claim 9 , further comprising a stopper fixing unit connecting the tilt stopper to a surface of the door.
