Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a shelf bracket and a refrigerator having the same. The shelf bracket includes a seating portion on which a shelf is seated, a mounting portion provided at a rear side of the seating portion, and a reinforcing portion integrally extending from the shelf bracket and folded to overlap at least one of the seating portion and the mounting portion, so that the strength of the shelf bracket is reinforced by the reinforcing portion.
Claims8
A refrigerator comprising:
- a main body providing a storage chamber;
- a shelf configured to partition the storage chamber in an up-down direction;
- and
- a shelf bracket configured to support the shelf, and comprising:
- a seating portion on which the shelf is seated,
- a mounting portion mounted to the storage chamber,
- a reinforcing portion integrally extending from the mounting portion,
- a coupling protrusion on one of the mounting portion and the reinforcing portion, and
- a coupling hole on the other of the mounting portion and the reinforcing portion to which the coupling protrusion is coupleable,
- wherein the reinforcing portion is folded at a folding line from the mounting portion to overlap the mounting portion, and the coupling protrusion and the coupling hole are provided at positions symmetrical with respect to the folding line, so that the reinforcing portion overlaps symmetrically with the mounting portion when the coupling protrusion is coupled to the coupling hole.
