1 and 2 are views illustrating a typical French type refrigerator.

As shown in the refrigerator, the refrigerating chamber 1 is positioned above and the freezing chamber 2 is positioned below. In particular, the refrigerating chamber is a French-type refrigerator in which a partition wall separating the interior is not formed.

The refrigerating chamber (2) is a door (3) for opening and closing it is composed of a double-door open structure, the gasket (10) that is in close contact with the refrigerator main body (5) is installed on the circumferential surface of each door (3) do.

In particular, the gasket 11 is installed so that cold air does not leak even in a portion where the doors 3 meet each other. In general, a refrigerator of a French type is provided with a filler on one door so that the gaskets of both doors are in close contact with each other. It has a structure, or a filler is provided without a filler (fillerless) structure in which the gaskets 11 of both doors 3 are in close contact with each other.

1 and 2 illustrate a pillarless type, in which the gaskets 11 provided on both doors are in close contact with each other while the doors 3 are closed, as shown in FIG. 1. Seal the gap.

3 is a planar cross-sectional view of the direction 'A' of FIG. 1 showing a state in which the gasket 11 is in close contact with both the doors 3 closed, and the gasket 11 has both doors 3. And a gasket holder 12 provided on side surfaces of the gasket holders 12 and a gasket rubber 13 attached to the gasket holder 12 to be in close contact with each other.

The magnets 14 are respectively installed in the gasket rubber 13 to maintain mutual adhesion.

Particularly, in order to solve the problem that the gasket 11 is opened along the other door when one door 3 is opened, the gasket separating device 15 separating the two gaskets 11 to some extent during the initial opening of the door. ) Is installed.

The gasket separating apparatus 15 is configured to rotate the gasket holder 12 about the hinge portion 16 supported by the door 3, and the gasket holder 12 is rotated around the hinge portion 16.
