Abstract:
The present invention relates to a refrigerator and/or freezer having a basic structure in which is arranged at least one inner container for accommodating items which are to be refrigerated and/or frozen, and having at least one bearing block for bearing one or more doors by means of which the basic structure can be closed, wherein a transverse connecting element extends in a region between two walls of the basic structure, and wherein the bearing block is fixed on the transverse connecting element or on a component which is connected directly or indirectly to the transverse connecting element.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a water supply device for supplying an ice cube maker and/or a water dispenser of a refrigerator and/or freezer. Said device comprises a water tank having a filling opening for manually filling the water tank and a dispenser connection for connecting the water tank to a supply line of the ice cube maker and/or the water dispenser. The invention also relates to a refrigerator and/or freezer which is provided with said water supply device. The aim of the invention is to combine the advantages of a fixed mains water supply with those of a manually fillable water tank. The invention is characterized by using a manually fillable water tank which is provided with a fixed mains water supply for connection of the water tank to a stationary water-supply line. The water supply device can be operated either manually, especially when there is no fixed mains water supply, or automatically, when there is such a fixed mains water supply. The inventive water supply device allows the comfort of a fixed mains water supply while not requiring the presence of a stationary water supply line for the installation or operation of the refrigerator having a water supply point. The combination of the manually fillable water tank with the fixed mains water supply is advantageous over pure fixed mains water supply solutions even in the automatic mode. The system can be simply cleaned by adding a cleaning agent through the filling opening of the water tank. Other additives can simply be added to the water to be dispensed. When the refrigerator/freezer is switched to automatic mode, the first filling of the tank, especially the water that stayed in the supply line over a longer period, can be quickly and easily disposed of by draining the water from the tank.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a refrigerator comprising a receptacle for chilled material which accommodates a vertical separating plate on the rear face thereof. Said separating plate is joined to the receptacle for the chilled material and in the area of the upper edge thereof via at least one fixture. At least one receiving zone, in which the at least one fixture of the separating plate can be hanged, is molded onto the receptacle for the chilled material.
Abstract:

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a refrigerator and/or freezer, in particular a chest refrigerator or freezer (10), having a body and a lid which can be moved relative to the body (20), or a door or flap which can be moved relative to the body and has a pane, preferably a glass (20) or plastic pane, or is formed by this pane, and also having a heating device by means of which the pane can be heated, wherein means (30, 32, 40, 42) for transmitting the power required for operating the heating device are provided, said means operating in accordance with the principle of inductive power transmission.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a refrigerator and/or freezer comprising an interior that can be cooled for receiving the refrigerated and/or frozen products and magnetic cooling apparatus. According to the invention, at least part of the magnetic cooling apparatus is situated in the interior of the refrigerator and/or freezer.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a refrigerator and/or freezer comprising an inner container for receiving refrigerated and/or frozen products, said refrigerator and/or freezer having magnetic cooling apparatus and a heat exchanger containing a heat transfer medium for cooling the interior of the inner container. According to the invention, the heat exchanger is located in such a way that heat is only transported from the interior of the inner container to the heat transfer medium via the wall of the inner container or via the wall of the heat exchanger.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a refrigerator and/or freezer comprising one or several shelves (10) for accommodating products that are to be chilled or frozen as well as one or several extensions (50, 60) which are joined to the shelves and by means of which the shelves can be extracted from and inserted into the refrigerator/freezer. Said extensions are removably connected to the shelves and/or removably connected to the refrigerator/freezer.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a refrigerator and/or freezer appliance covering with a frame, which can be placed on an appliance body opening of the refrigerator and/or freezer appliance, and which can be joined in a foam-tight manner to an inner container wall and an outer casing of the refrigerator and/or freezer appliance. The invention also relates to a refrigerator and/or freezer appliance provided with such a covering, whose frame rests upon an appliance body opening and can be joined in a foam-tight to the inner container wall and to the outer casing of the appliance body. The aim of the invention is to not assemble the visible portion of the frame of the covering any longer from a number of parts, rather to manufacture it as a single piece and to separate the functional elements of the frame from the visible portion. According to the invention, the frame is composed of a one-piece covering frame as well as of a functional frame that can be inserted into the covering frame. The enables the one-piece covering frame that, when built-in, forms the visible portion of the frame to be designed so that it satisfies even the highest demands with regard to visual appeal, whereas necessary functional elements of the frame are integrated on the inserted functional frame that cannot be seen when built-in.
