         2 . The refrigerator according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the supporting unit is provided on an inner board of the pull-out door, and fixes a flange portion of a front face of the container.   
     
     
         3 . The refrigerator according to  claim 2 ,
 wherein the supporting unit includes a first fixing part projecting upward for fixing the flange portion inserted from above.   
     
     
         4 . The refrigerator according to  claim 2 ,
 wherein the supporting unit includes a second fixing part which abuts an upper surface of the flange portion to regulate an upward movement of the flange portion.   
     
     
         5 . The refrigerator according to  claim 3 ,
 wherein the supporting unit further includes a second fixing part which abuts an upper surface of the flange portion to regulate an upward movement of the flange portion.   
     
     
         6 . The refrigerator according to  claim 5 ,
 wherein the first fixing part is formed separately from the inner board, and   the second fixing part is formed integrally with the inner board.   
     
     
         7 . The refrigerator according to  claim 1 , further comprising
 a door frame on the part of the pull-out door below the center in the vertical direction, extending from the pull-out door toward the back,   wherein the movable rail is connected to the pull-out door with the door frame provided in between and supports the container with the door frame provided in between.   
     
     
         8 . The refrigerator according to  claim 7 ,
 wherein the container includes a projection on a side face part, which is supported by the door frame.   
     
     
         9 . The refrigerator according to  claim 8 ,
 wherein the projection is formed on a back part of the side face part of the container.
