Patent ID: 7628525

Claim:
An illumination device for a refrigerator, comprising: an illuminating source that illuminates a storage space, wherein the illuminating source comprises: a heat radiation plate provided with a printed circuit board at one surface thereof; a light emitting diode module installed on the printed circuit board; and a molding portion molded onto the surface of the heat radiation plate formed with the printed circuit board; an illuminating cover installed at one side of the storage space in a state where the illuminating source is mounted thereto; a first fixing device that fixes the illuminating source to the illuminating cover, wherein the first fixing device comprises: at least one pair of through-holes formed at both lateral ends of the heat radiation plate; and at least one pair of coupling bosses provided at positions on an inner surface of the illuminating cover corresponding to the through-holes such that coupling screws penetrated the through-holes of the heat radiation plate are fastened into the coupling bosses; and a second fixing device that fixes the illuminating cover to the storage space, wherein the second fixing device includes: at least one through-hole formed at one lateral side of the illuminating cover; at least one coupling piece provided at the other side of the illuminating cover opposite to the through-hole; at least one through-hole formed on a side of the storage space corresponding to the through-hole of the illuminating cover; at least one coupling bush formed at the back of the storage space corresponding to the through-hole in the storage space such that a coupling screw sequentially penetrated the through-hole of the illuminating cover and the through-hole in the storage space is fastened to the coupling bush; and at least one coupling slot formed at another side of the storage space corresponding to the coupling piece of the illuminating cover such that the coupling piece of the illuminating cover is inserted in the slot.
