Abstract:
Provided is a refrigerator having only a second door opened/closed or having both of a first door and a second door opened/closed using one handing by allowing a latch device to fix the second door to the first door or release the second door from being fixed to the first door. The refrigerator includes a main body having a storage compartment, a first door that is rotatably disposed in front of the main body and has an opening formed therein, a second door that is rotatably disposed in front of the first door to open/close the opening, a handle coupled to a front side of the second door to open/close the first door and the second door, and a latch device allowing the second door to be fixed and released to/from the first door.

Claim (Index 9):
A refrigerator comprising:\n a main body having a storage compartment; a first door for the storage compartment disposed at a front side of the main body and having an opening formed therein; a second door disposed at a front side of the first door, and which opens and closes to open and close, respectively, the opening of the first door; a handle disposed at the second door; and a latch device comprising:\n a fixing unit provided at the first door, \n a support, fastened to the handle, and disposed between the handle and the second door, and \n a handle lever rotatably coupled to the support by a rotation shaft and including\n a first portion, and \n a second portion which is movable to be hung with, and unhung from, the fixing unit, wherein, \n when the first portion is pressed with the second portion being hung with the fixing unit, the first portion rotates about the rotation shaft to move forward and the second portion rotates about the rotation shaft to move downward, to thereby cause the second portion to be unhung from the fixing unit and thereby allow the second door to open and close alone through operation of the handle, and \n when the first portion is released after being pressed with the second portion being unhung from the fixing unit, the first portion rotates about the rotation shaft backward and the second portion rotates about the rotation shaft upward, to thereby cause the second portion to be hung with the fixing unit and thereby allow the first door and the second door open and close together through operation of the handle; and \n \n a guide provided at the second door for the second portion of the handle lever to extend therethrough.
