Abstract:
There is disclosed a refrigerator including an inner case that defines an exterior appearance of a storage space, with a communication hole formed therein, an outer case spaced apart a predetermined distance from the inner case, with a communication formed at a position corresponding to the communication hole of the inner case, a vacuum space provided between the inner case and the outer case, with being maintained vacuum, to insulate the inner case from the outer case, and a connection pipe passing through the vacuum space, to connect the communication hole of the inner case and the communication hole of the outer case with each other.

Claim (Index 8):
A refrigerator comprising:\n an inner case configured to form a storage space, the inner case comprising a first communication hole; an outer case spaced apart from the inner case, the outer case comprising a second communication hole; a vacuum space between the inner case and the outer case; a connection pipe connecting the first communication hole to the second communication hole, the connection pipe passing through the vacuum space, an external portion of the connection pipe corresponding to the vacuum space and an internal portion of the connection pipe being separated from the vacuum space, wherein the connection pipe comprises: a first pipe part configured to be welded to the outer case, a second pipe part configured to be welded to the inner case, and a lateral wall provided between the first pipe part and the second pipe part, and wherein a distance of heat transfer passage of conduction via the connection pipe between the inner case and the outer case is longer than a width of the vacuum space to decrease conduction efficiency between the inner case and the outer case.
