Abstract
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.
