Exclusive kimchi fermentor apparatus

A food storage apparatus comprises a frame defining a forwardly open space adapted to receive a plurality of food storage containers. The frame, which can be slidably mounted on a support within a refrigerator, includes inwardly projecting flanges adjacent its upper portion, and two pairs of front-to-rear extending bars located adjacent a lower portion of the frame. The bars of each pair are parallel and spaced horizontally apart. Each container includes outward flanges slidably disposed on the shoulders, and a boss projecting downwardly from an underside of the container and situated between a pair of the bars.

Foodstuff container receiving apparatus

The guide apparatus comprises a fan diverging evaporator cooling air into a freezing compartment and a refrigerating compartment, an intaking chamber 5 having the fan 5 mounted at center of therein and encircled part of the fan with a first outside wall and a second outside wall, an incoming passage for the refrigerating compartment and an incoming passage for the freezing compartment individually feeding cooling air into the refrigerating compartment and the freezing compartment, an inside wall formed integrally with the top end of first outside wall at top end portion of the inside wall, a shutter housing having the first outside wall of the intaking chamber encircling part of the fan and the inside wall formed integrally with the top end of the first outside wall at top end portion of the inside wall, the second outside wall facing to the first outside wall and placing the fan between the second outside wall and the first outside wall, the outside walls being flushed with one another, a shutter having a control knob mounted thereon and being moved by the control knob, which being inserted between the inside wall and the first outside wall, and a groove including a shoulder formed at the lower end terminating with the second outside wall and a step cut inside along a cross-sectional wall of the second outside wall, and receiving lower end portion of the shutter.
