support part 52′ is protruded from one side of theconnection surface 54′, and is supported by asupport 42′ formed at one side of the front surface of thecase 40′, thus preventing a height difference caused by the assembly between thecase 40′ and theconnection member 50′. - The
front panel 60′ having a plate shape corresponding to thecase 40′ is attached to theconnection surface 54′ of theconnection member 50′. Here, thefront panel 60 is fixed by attaching one surface of a double-sided tape 70′ to theconnection surface 54′ of theconnection member 50′ and attaching thefront panel 60′ to the other surface of the double-sided tape 70′ of theconnection surface 54′. - Further, the rear surface of the
front panel 60′ contacts directly the foamingagent 80′ filling theconnection member 50′ through the opening 50 a′, and thus thefront panel 60 is firmly fixed by the foamingagent 80′. - In the
home bar door 30′ in accordance with the second embodiment of the present invention, theconnection member 50′ is inserted into thecase 40′ such that the assembly protrusions 43′ of thecase 40′ are connected with the assembly holes 53′ of theconnection member 50′. - The
support part 52′ of theconnection member 50′ is connected to thesupport 42′ of thecase 40′, and thus theconnection member 50′ is firmly fixed to the inside of thecase 40′. - The rear surface of the
front panel 60′ is fixed by the doublesided tape 70′ attached to theconnection surface 54′ of theconnection member 50′. - Further, as the foaming
agent 80′ filling the inside of theconnection member 50′ is solidified, thefront panel 60′, the rear surface of which contacts directly the foamingagent 80′, is fixed also. Thus, thefront panel 60′ is more firmly fixed by the double-sided tape 70′ on theconnection surface 54′ and thefoaming agent 80′. - Since the
front panel 60′ is attached to the overall front surface of thecase 40′, an assembly line is not formed at the edge of thehome bar door 30′, and thus the external appearance of thehome bar door 30′ is improved. - Further, the
connection member 50′ inserted into thecase 40′, formed by injection molding, and thefront panel 60′ attached to the front surface of theconnection member 50′ prevent the leakage of the foamingagent 80′ to the outside of thecase 40′. - Although a few embodiments have been shown and described, it would be appreciated by those skilled in the art that changes may be made in these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined in the claims and their equivalents.
