  • Patent number: 8141966
    Abstract: A telescopic pull-out arrangement for a refrigerator is provided that includes two telescopic pull-out mechanisms each provided with a stationary rail on a common frame and a movable rail, and a storage part retained on the movable rails by a pair of identical adapters. The storage part has a first engagement contour cooperating with a first adapter of the couple and a second engagement contour cooperating with the second adapter of the couple. Each adapter is provided with a third and a fourth engagement contour. The first engagement contour of the storage part and the third engagement contour of the first adapter engage into one another with less tolerance transverse to the pull-out direction than the engagement of the second engagement contour of the storage part and the fourth engagement contour of the second adapter engage into one another.

  • Publication number: 20120024006
    Abstract: A refrigeration device, in particular a household refrigerator, includes a cooling chamber and at least one shelf for cooled products stored in the cooling chamber between interior walls of the cooling chamber. The shelf has a first planar shelf surface section and a second planar shelf surface section which is arranged in vertically offset relationship to the first planar shelf surface section, wherein at least one of the first and second planar shelf surface sections has apertures, with holders being fixed in the apertures for holding a removable container. As a result, the storage capacity of the refrigeration device for products to be cooled is improved.
