WATER SUPPLY DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To quickly cool water supplied to a water storage tank, and to retain it at a low temperature in regard to a water supply device. SOLUTION: An evaporator 15 is arranged in an interior side upper part of a refrigerator body 7 provided with a door. The water supply device is composed of a rail 16 in a measurement part of the evaporator 15, the water storage tank 9 provided with a cap 10 in an upper part of the rail 16, a connection pipe 11 with one end connected to the water storage tank 9 and another end arranged outside to transfer the water stored in the water storage tank 9 to the outside of the door 8 of the refrigerator body 7, and an opening and closing device 12 connected to the other end of the connection pipe 11. Water is supplied to the water storage tank 9 by drawing the water storage tank 9 forward along the rail 16, and removing the cap 10 of the water storage tank 9. By this, the water storage tank 9 arranged in the measurement part of the evaporator 15 is cooled, and the water supplied to the water storage tank 9 can be quickly cooled, and it can be retained at a low temperature.
