Claim 4:
5. A vacuum adiabatic body comprising:
a first plate to define a first portion of a wall;
a second plate to define a second portion of the wall; and
a side frame to define another portion of the wall for an inner space, the another portion of the wall including a wall extending in a first direction corresponding to a height of the inner space,
wherein each of the first plate, the second plate and the side frame are secured to form the inner space which is configured to be in a vacuum state,
wherein the vacuum adiabatic body provides a heat transfer path between the first plate and the second plate by passing along the side frame,
wherein the side frame has a portion extending in the first direction corresponding to the height of the inner space,
wherein the portion of the side frame has one surface that contacts with the inner space such that the one surface of the side frame is thermally insulated by the inner space, and
wherein the portion of the side frame is spaced apart from an edge portion of the second plate in a second direction that extends from a main portion of the vacuum adiabatic body toward a side portion of the vacuum adiabatic body, and a space is provided between the portion of the side frame and the edge portion of the second plate in the second direction that extends from the main portion of the vacuum adiabatic body toward the side portion of the vacuum adiabatic body, such that the heat transfer via the side frame toward the side portion of the vacuum adiabatic body can be reduced,
wherein the side frame has a thickness smaller than a thickness of the first plate and the second plate, and wherein the side frame is made of stainless materials.
