  • the longitudinal bar 27 forms a first covering structure which covers the gap between opposing side surfaces 26a and 26b of the first door 3a and the second door 3b in a location corresponding to the first storage compartment 4.
  • first door 3a and the second door 3b are in their closed positions, if a user pulls the first door 3a outwards, the longitudinal bar 27 is rotated to an orientation substantially parallel to the side surface 26a of the first door 3a, so that the abutting state between the longitudinal bar 27 and the second door 3b is removed.
  • the first door 3a can be opened individually while the second door 3b is kept in its closed state.
  • the second door 3b During a closing stage of the second door 3b, with the first door 3a being in its closed position, the second door 3b, as approaching its closed position, applies a pressing force by its free side 31 to the longitudinal bar 27 which is at its withdrawn position, so that the longitudinal bar is forced to rotate to an orientation substantially parallel to the first door 3a. Ultimately, the sealing gaskets 25 of the first door 3a and the second door 3b abut tightly against the front surface of the longitudinal bar 27.
  • the longitudinal bar is attached to the first door 3a. In an alternative embodiment, however, it is possible to attach the longitudinal bar 27 to the free side of the second door 3b.

  • the front end face 54 of the middle separation plate 52 in the cabinet 2 forms a second covering structure which covers the gap between the opposing side surfaces 26a and 26b of the first door 3a and the second door 3b at the second storage compartment 5.
  • the middle separation plate 52 may comprise a thermal insulation material at a portion near the front end face 54 to suppress cooling energy loss of the second storage compartment 5 in this position.
  • the gap between the first door 3a and the second door 3b at a position corresponding to the second storage compartment 5 is also covered by a longitudinal bar connected to the first door 3a or the second door 3b.
  • Figure 2 shows a partial schematic perspective view of a refrigerator 1' according to another embodiment of the invention.
  • the embodiment shown in Figure 2 is mainly different from that of Figure 1 in that the second storage compartment 5 is not provided with a middle separation plate for dividing the second storage compartment 5; rather, the front end of the second storage chamber 5 is provided with a vertical covering plate 55.
  • the covering plate 55 has a height substantially corresponding to that of the second storage compartment 5.

  • the transverse strip 25c may be formed integrally with other portions of the sealing gasket.
  • a sealing gasket may comprise a first the sealing gasket frame corresponding to the first storage compartment 4 and a second the sealing gasket frame corresponding to the second storage compartment 5, the first the sealing gasket frame and the second the sealing gasket frame sharing a common transverse strip 25c or having their own transverse strips respectively.
  • a sealing gasket may comprise a continuous sealing gasket frame formed along periphery edges of the first door 3a or the second door 3b as shown in Figure 1 and a transverse strip formed independently with respect to the continuous sealing gasket frame between the upper protruded frame 60 and the lower protruded frame 61.
  • the first covering structure for covering the gap between the first door and the second door at the first storage compartment and the second storage compartment for covering the gap between the first door and the second door at the second covering structure are provided separately with respect to each other.
  • the invention is not limited thereto.
  • the gaps between the first door and the second door at the first and second storage compartments can be covered by an integral covering structure.
  • the longitudinal bar 27 shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 can extend across the whole heights of the first storage compartment 4 and the second storage compartment 5.
  • at least one of the first separation wall 6 and the longitudinal bar 27 may comprise a portion that is recessed away from the other of them for accommodating the other of them.
