5. The refrigerator of claim 4 , wherein the guide protrusion has a vertical front surface and an inclined rear surface that is angled such that a lower side of the inclined rear surface is positioned further rearward than an upper side of the inclined rear surface.
6. The refrigerator of claim 5 , wherein an upper end of the guide protrusion is formed in a round shape having a front side thereof that is lower than a rear side thereof.
7. The refrigerator of claim 1 , wherein the inner cover includes:
a front surface cover that partitions the inner space of the storage bin into a front space and a rear space and is formed in a step shape;
an upper surface cover that is rotatably connected to an upper end of the front surface cover, and is provided over a rear upper surface of the front surface cover.
8. The refrigerator of claim 7 , further comprising:
a bump at a side surface in the storage bin, the bump contacting the front surface cover to prevent a rearward movement of the front surface cover.
9. The refrigerator of claim 8 , wherein the bump is formed of an elastic material.
10. The refrigerator of claim 9 , wherein the bump protrudes to interfere with a side surface of the front surface cover.
11. The refrigerator of claim 10 , wherein the bump protrudes to overlap the side surface of the front surface cover by at least 0.5 mm.
12. The refrigerator of claim 7 , wherein a lower end of the front surface cover is rotatably connected to a bottom surface of the storage bin.
13. The refrigerator of claim 12 , further comprising:
a fastening end that protrudes upward at the rear end of the storage bin, so as to support a rear end of the front surface cover, wherein the fastening end includes at least one fastening bar that is coupled to the inner cover.
14. The refrigerator of claim 13 , wherein the upper surface cover includes a cover fastener that is provided on the rear end of the upper surface cover to be coupled to the fastening bar.
15. The refrigerator of claim 14 , wherein the cover fastener is elastically fixed to the fastening bar.
16. The refrigerator of claim 14 , wherein the cover fastener extends downward from a lower surface of the upper surface cover and includes a moving protrusion that contacts the fastener bar and a fixed protrusion, which are spaced apart from each other.
17. The refrigerator of claim 16 , wherein a gap between the moving protrusion and the fixed protrusion is smaller at a lower end of the gap than at an upper end of the gap.
18. The refrigerator of claim 17 , wherein a gap between lower ends of the moving protrusion and the fixed protrusion is smaller than an external diameter of the fastening bar.
19. The refrigerator of claim 18 , wherein lower ends of the moving protrusion and the fixed protrusion is formed in an inclined surface or with a predetermined curvature.
20. A refrigerator comprising:
a cabinet having a storage chamber provided therein and an opening to access the storage chamber;
a drawer including a front panel and a storage bin provided rear of the front panel, the drawer being slidably coupled to the cabinet such the front panel opens and closes the opening of cabinet;
an inner cover that is configured to be received in the storage bin, a section of the inner cover being positioned over a rear end portion of an interior space of the storage bin; and
a guide provided at a rear end of the storage bin, a surface of the guide contacting the inner cover to prevent the inner cover from moving beyond the rear end of the storage bin,
wherein the inner cover includes:
a front surface cover that partitions the inner space of the storage bin into a front space and a rear space and is formed in a step shape;
an upper surface cover that is rotatably connected to an upper end of the front surface cover and is provided over a rear upper surface of the front surface cover.
