Abstract

See full text

A refrigerator equipped with a door opening device that can be triggered to facilitate door opening when a door handle is moved by a user in either of the two permitted opposite directions. A first link member is coupled to the door handle and can be rotated in the same direction as the door handle. A second link member is coupled to the first link member. The second link member is configured to be rotated by the first link member when the door handle is rotated in one direction, and to remain stationary when the door handle is rotated in another direction. When door handle is rotated, the first or the second link member can cause a slide member to slide out of the refrigerator door partially to press against the main body, thereby opening the door.
