To provide a shelf device, and a refrigerator comprising the same, for vertically moving a shelf height position by simple and light operation even if an installing position is high to improve easiness-to-use, and inexpensively restraining looseness when longitudinally and vertically moving the shelf device by a simple mechanism to provide smooth moving operation.
The shelf device is composed of a movable rail 8 provided with a pulley 13 sliding in the horizontal direction in a fixed rail 7 fixed to a storage part side wall of one stage part of a shelf space of a storage chamber 2, arms 9 and 10 arranged by being turnably pivoted in front and rear of the movable rail, and a shelf vessel 6 held between turning tips of both side arms. The shelf vessel is longitudinally moved by the movable rail. The shelf vessel is vertically moved by the turning movement of the arms while holding a horizontal state. An engaging rail 7a for restraining the movement in the width direction of the pulley is formed on the fixed rail for sliding the pulley thereon.
