A home-bar door stopping structure of a refrigerator includes an accommodating space provided behind a refrigerator door and communicating with the outside of the refrigerator through an opening formed on a portion of the refrigerator door, a home-bar door installed to the opening for selectively opening and closing the accommodating space and configured to be pivoted vertically about an lower end of the opening, and stoppers provided on both sides of the opening for supporting both sides of a lower end of a rear surface of the home-bar door to limit a pivot range of the home-bar door when the opening is opened. When the home-bar door stopping structure is so configured, although the thickness of the home-bar door is relatively increased due to the installation of an additional device onto the front surface of the home-bar door, the stopper does not hinders the pivotal rotation of the home-bar door until the home-bar is pivoted up to the predetermined angle.

A refrigerator having an air-cleaner is provided. The air-cleaner may include a case having at least an inlet and an outlet, and a blower that draws air in through the inlet through a filter unit, and discharges the air through the outlet. The filter unit may include a filter for purifying the air flowing therethrough, a filter basket in which the filter is seated, and a door fixed to the filter basket so that the basket may be drawn in and out in a drawer-like fashion. The air-cleaner may also include fastening means for fastening the basket door to the filter basket, guiding means for guiding the mount and dismount of the filter basket, and locking means for keeping the filter basket positioned in the case.

A home-bar door opening/closing device for a refrigerator. Guide slotsare provided in both side surfaces of an openingprovided in a refrigerator doorand connected to one ends of linkswhich rotate and vertically move. Then, a home-bar dooris installed in the openingso that an upper end of the home-bar doorvertically rotates about a hinge. The other ends of the linksare pivotably connected to both side surfaces of the home-bar door, respectively. An upward elastic force from coil springsis provided to the one ends of the links, while an elastic force from torsion springsis provided to the other ends of the links. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce the impact due to the rapid opening of the home-bar door.

A display unit for a refrigerator is provided. The display having a TV receiving function is installed at a front surface of a refrigerator door. A mounting panel with a plurality of speaker holes formed therein is also installed around an edge of the display. A speaker is mounted to a rear surface of the mounting panel on a portion where the speaker holes are formed. Further, a resonance box is installed to enclose the speaker such that low and middle frequency sound can be transmitted forward to the outside. A sound transmission tube that communicates with the speaker hole is forced at a front portion of the resonance box. In addition, a sound absorbing material is covered on an inner rear surface of the resonance box that faces the rear of the speaker. A display as configured has improved sound quality.

A drainage structure for a refrigerator equipped with an integrated product is provided. A mounting space is provided on a front surface of a door of the refrigerator to receive an integrated product such as a TV. A plurality of recesses are formed in an inner surface of the mounting space. The recesses prevent water drops from flowing downward along the inner surface. A plurality of valleys may also be formed on the inner surface on which the recesses are formed. The valleys may have an irregular shape, and serve to reduce the size of water drops. Thus, moisture formed in a space into which the integrated product is mounted can be evaporated and discharged to the outside due to heat generated by the integrated product when it is operated.
