A refrigerator including a cooling chamber in a main body, includes: a rack assembly installed inside the cooling chamber; and a rack assembly drawing unit for drawing/putting the rack assembly out of/into the cooling chamber. Accordingly, food containers put on a rack of a rack assembly can be easily and conveniently taken out or checked regardless their locations by constructing the rack assembly to be selectively drawn out of a cooling chamber. Also, by attaching a vibration preventing rubber material to an end of the rack assembly, the food container put on the rack is prevented from being dropped, and the vibration noise can be effectively prevented.

What is claimed is: 1. A refrigerator, comprising: a chamber having two opposite lateral walls, each of the lateral walls being a substantially flat plane extending from a top of the chamber to a bottom of the chamber, each of the lateral walls having one of at least one groove extending from the substantially flat plane inwardly away from the opposite lateral wall and at least one protrusion extending from the substantially flat plane outwardly toward the opposite lateral wall; and a rack assembly installed inside the chamber, the rack assembly having one of at least one rack protrusion corresponding to the at least one groove and at least one rack groove corresponding to the at least one protrusion, the at least one protrusion being located in the at least one rack groove or the at least one rack protrusion being located in the at least one groove such that the rack assembly is movable along a direction of the one of the at least one groove and the at least one protrusion, wherein the rack assembly consists of: a pair of rails vertically installed at a certain interval, the one of at least one rack groove and at least one rack protrusion being located on each of the rails; side covers facing a corresponding one of the two opposite lateral surfaces of the chamber, each of the side covers being inserted into one of the rails, wherein each of the side covers has a substantially same thickness throughout each of the entire side covers in a horizontal direction, and the thickness of each of the side covers in the horizontal direction is smaller than a width of a corresponding one of the rails in the horizontal direction; a rear cover facing a rear surface of the chamber, the rear cover being inserted into the rails; and at least one rack horizontally installed in a space formed by the side covers and the rear cover. 2. The refrigerator of claim 1, wherein the side cover is made of a transparent material. 3. The refrigerator of claim 2, wherein the side cover is made of an acryl material. 4. The refrigerator of claim 1, wherein a plurality of rack support members for supporting the rack are fixedly installed at an inner surface of each side cover. 5. The refrigerator of claim 4, wherein the rack support members are made of a vibration preventing material. 6. The refrigerator of claim 4, wherein the rack support members support both ends of the rack. 7. The refrigerator of claim 1, wherein the protrusion is made of a rubber material. 8. The refrigerator of claim 1, wherein the protrusion is a roller rollable in the groove. 9. The refrigerator of claim 1, wherein the side covers and the rear cover substantially extend from a top end of the rails to a bottom end of the rails. 10. The refrigerator of claim 1, wherein the at least one rack includes a plurality of racks. 11. The refrigerator of claim 1, wherein each of the lateral walls has the at least one groove, the at least one groove extending through a front edge of the corresponding lateral wall to have an open end. 12. The refrigerator of claim 1, wherein a front end of a lateral surface of the at least one rack extends outwardly further toward a front side of a chamber of the refrigerator than a front end of the side covers such that the front end of the lateral surface of the at least one rack is not flush with the front end of the side covers. 13. A refrigerator comprising: a main body including a chamber therein, the chamber having two opposite lateral walls, each of the lateral walls having one of at least one groove and at least one protrusion; and a rack assembly installed inside the chamber, the rack assembly consisting of: a plurality of racks; a pair of rear vertical rails spaced apart from each other, each of the rear vertical rails having the other one of the at least one groove and the at least one protrusion, the rear vertical rails supporting the entire rack assembly, the at least one protrusion being located in the at least one groove such that the rack assembly is movable along a direction of the at least one groove; sides covers located at both sides of the racks, the side covers substantially extending from a top end of the rear vertical rails to a bottom end of the rear vertical rails, wherein each of the side covers has a substantially same thickness throughout each of the entire side covers in a horizontal direction, and the thickness of each of the side covers in the horizontal direction is smaller than a width of a corresponding one of the rear rails in the horizontal direction; and a rear cover located at a rear surface of the racks, the rear cover substantially extending from the top end of the rear vertical rails to the bottom end of the rear vertical rails. 14. The refrigerator of claim 13, wherein the other one of the at least one groove and the at least one protrusion is located at a sidewall of each of the rear vertical rails, the sidewall facing the corresponding one of the lateral walls of the chamber. 15. The refrigerator of claim 14, wherein the protrusion is made of a rubber material. 16. The refrigerator of claim 14, wherein the protrusion is a roller rollable in the groove. 17. The refrigerator of claim 13, wherein the side cover is made of a transparent material. 18. The refrigerator of claim 16, wherein the side cover is made of an acryl material. 19. The refrigerator of claim 13, wherein a plurality of rack support members for supporting the rack are fixedly installed at an inner surface of the side cover. 20. The refrigerator of claim 19, wherein the rack support member is made of a rubber material. 21. The refrigerator of claim 13, wherein each of the lateral walls has the at least one groove, the at least one groove extending through a front edge of the corresponding lateral wall to have an open end. 22. The refrigerator of claim 13, wherein a front end of a lateral surface of each of the racks extends outwardly further toward a front side of the chamber than a front end of the side covers such that the front end of the lateral surface of each of the racks is not flush with the front end of the side covers.
