Abstract:
A refrigerator apparatus includes a case opening passing through an inner case; and an lighting device in the opening, wherein the device includes: a lamp case having a cavity defined therein; a light-emitting unit accommodated in the cavity, wherein the light-emitting unit is disposed more outwardly than the case opening, wherein the light-emitting unit irradiates light toward an inner surface of the cavity; a cover coupled with the lamp case to cover the case opening, wherein light from the light-emitting unit is reflected from the cavity through the cover toward the refrigerator interior space; and a reflection portion formed on the cover, wherein the reflection portion is configured to allow light from the light-emission unit directed toward the case opening to be redirected toward the inner surface of the cavity.

Claim (Index 1):
A refrigerator comprising:\n a cabinet comprising an outer case that defines an outer appearance of the refrigerator and an inner case that defines a storage space of the refrigerator, the inner case defining a case opening; a lighting device located at the inner case and configured to illuminate light through the case opening, the lighting device comprising:\n a lighting case that is located at the inner case, the lighting case defining a cavity recessed outward of the case opening and located at a position corresponding to the case opening, \n a light-emitting unit that is located in the cavity, that protrudes outward of the case opening, and that is configured to emit light toward at least one of an inner surface of the cavity or the case opening, \n a cover that is configured to couple to the lighting case, that is configured to cover at least a portion of the case opening, and that is configured to allow transmission of light reflected from the inner surface of the cavity toward the storage space through the cover, and \n a reflection portion that is located at the cover and that is configured to, based on reception of light emitted toward the case opening, direct light toward the inner surface of the cavity.
