1. A connection support device provided on a first member and configured to engage a fixing hook provided on a second member and to disengage the fixing hook in response to contact with a third member, the connection support device comprising: a connecting bracket including a base coupled to the first member and two legs extending outward from opposite ends of the base;a connecting device, comprising: a connecting bar rotatably installed so as to extend between the two legs of the connecting bracket; anda connecting hook that extends outward from the connecting bar;a pivoting device, comprising: a pivoting shaft rotatably installed so as to extend between the two legs, at a position between the connecting device and the base of the connecting bracket;a push arm coupled to and extending outward from the pivoting shaft in a first direction, wherein the push arm selectively rotates the connecting device to engage and disengage the fixing hook; anda contact arm coupled to and extending outward from the pivoting shaft in a second direction, wherein the contact arm rotates the pivoting device in response to contact with the third member to disengage the fixing hook; and an elastic member having a first end thereof coupled to the connecting bar and a second end thereof coupled to one of the two legs of the connecting bracket, wherein an elastic force of the elastic member returns the connecting device to an initial position. 2. The connection support device of claim 1, wherein the fixing hook comprises: a plate fixed to a surface of the second member facing the first member;a receiver extending outward from the plate, toward the first member, and configured to be engaged by the connecting hook of the connecting device. 3. The connection support device of claim 1, further comprising a rotation limiter provided at a lower end of the base of the connecting bracket, wherein the rotation limiter limits a rotation angle of the connecting bar of the connecting device. 4. The connection support device of claim 1, wherein the first direction is different from the second direction such that the push arm and the contact arm form a predetermined angle therebetween. 5. The connection support device of claim 1, wherein the connection support device is configured to couple the first member to the second member in a first mode, and to couple the first member to the third member in a second mode, and wherein the connection support device is configured to support a weight of the first member and maintain a horizontal and vertical position of the first member in both the first mode and the second mode. 6. The connection support device of claim 1, wherein the first member is a storage container, the second member is a door, and the third member is a cabinet, and wherein the door is rotatably coupled to the cabinet, and the storage container is rotatably coupled to the door. 7. The connection support device of claim 1, wherein the connecting bracket, connecting device and pivoting device are installed at an upper central portion of the first member, at a position corresponding to the fixing hook provided on the second member. 8. The connection support device of claim 7, further comprising at least one roller device provided at a lower portion of the first member, the at least one roller device comprising: an upper bracket coupled to a bottom surface of the first member;at least one lower bracket coupled to and extending downward from the upper bracket;at least one first roller rotatably coupled to the lower bracket; andat least one second roller rotatably coupled to the upper bracket. 9. The connection support device of claim 8, wherein the at least one first roller comprises a pair of first rollers rotatably installed on a first roller shaft that extends through the lower bracket such that the pair of first rollers are positioned on opposite lateral sides of the lower bracket, and wherein the at least one second roller is rotatably installed on a second roller shaft that extends through a lateral side of the upper bracket. 10. The connection support device of claim 9, wherein the pair of rollers are installed at a first height within the roller bracket and the at least one second roller is installed at a second height that is different from the first height such that the pair of first rollers contacts a corresponding support surface of the second member and the at least one second roller contacts a corresponding support surface of the third member. 11. A connection support device provided on a first member and configured to engage a fixing hook provided on a second member and to disengage the fixing hook in response to contact with a third member, the connection support device comprising: a connecting device provided at a first end of the first member and configured to connect the first member to the second member in a first mode, and to connect the first member to the third member in a second mode, the connecting device, comprising: a connecting bar extending between two legs of a connecting bracket, the connecting bar including a connecting hook extending therefrom; anda pivoting device, comprising: a pivoting shaft extending between the two legs of the connecting bracket, the pivoting shaft including a push arm extending outward therefrom in a first direction and a contact arm extending outward therefrom in a second direction, wherein the push arm selectively rotates the connecting bar to engage and disengage the fixing hook and the contact arm rotates the pivoting device in response to contact with the third member;an elastic member having a first end thereof coupled to the connecting bar and a second end thereof coupled to one of the two legs of the connecting bracket, wherein an elastic force of the elastic member returns the connecting bar to an initial position; anda supporting device configured to support a weight of the first member in both the first mode and the second mode, the supporting device comprising: at least one roller device provided at a second end of the first member opposite the first end thereof, the at least one roller device comprising: at least one first roller configured to contact a corresponding support surface of the second member; andat least second roller configured to contact a corresponding support surface of the third member.
