  • Patent number: 11525620
    Abstract: A door insert for a door of a household cooling appliance has a body defining a storage space for storing goods. The insert body has a bottom and side walls. A front wall, which is formed as a separate component, extends in a width direction between the side walls. A separate holding bracket connects the separate component to at least one of the side walls. The outer face of a side wall is provided with a coupling structure and a bracket element of the separate holding bracket is formed with a counter coupling structure. The two coupling structures are engaged with each other. There is also described a door, a household cooling appliance, and a method for mounting a door insert in a door.

  • Patent number: 11125490
    Abstract: A food-receiving container for a household refrigeration appliance includes a receiving bin and a separate dividing wall for insertion from above into the bin to divide the bin. A positioning device, which positions the wall during installation and in a final position, includes a first positioning unit of the bin and a second positioning unit of the wall. The positioning units engage for positioning the wall to the bin. The positioning units automatically establish different holding states of the wall and bin at different insertion height positions, depending on the insertion height position of the wall into the bin. The insertion height positions differ in a number of holding states and a number of spatial directions in which they act. The position of the wall in the bin is fixed in three spatial directions in the final pushed-in position. A method for installing a wall is also provided.

  • Patent number: 10533791
    Abstract: A domestic refrigeration appliance has a receptacle chamber for food being delimited by walls of an inner container. A pull-out device is arranged on the inner container and can be pushed into and withdrawn from the receptacle chamber relative to the inner container. A container for receiving food is provided. The container is removably positionable on the pull-out device. The container has at its rear region a coupling element which engages in a coupling pocket provided on the pull-out device, so that a tilt prevention device is provided for the container. A mounted position of the container in which the container is placed on the pull-out device, is configured with a relative movement capability in relation to the pull-out device, having play defined as seen in the depth direction. The tilt prevention device is configured such that over the entire play, the coupling element extends into the coupling pocket.

  • Publication number: 20190078835
    Abstract: A food-receiving container has a tray and a respectively separate dividing wall arranged in an interior of the tray for the purpose of separating the volume of the tray. A retaining device is realized with which the dividing wall can be positioned in a fixed setting, in which the dividing wall is fixed on the tray, and can be put into a respectively different moving setting. The dividing wall, when in the state of being arranged on the tray, can be moved in the interior relative to the tray. The retaining device has at least one friction-grip element by which the dividing wall is held on the tray secured against moving by frictional grip in the fixed position. The fixed setting can be released by lifting the dividing wall.

  • Publication number: 20180100690
    Abstract: A domestic refrigeration appliance has an accommodating space for foodstuffs which is delimited by walls of an interior container. A drawer configuration is mounted within the accommodating space and contains a first drawer that is arranged on a door of the domestic refrigeration appliance that is configured to close the accommodating space and is displaceably coupled to the door, and a second drawer that is mounted so as to be displaceable relative to the first drawer. The second drawer has a first roller configuration by which the second drawer is displaceable on the first drawer. The second drawer has a second roller configuration by which the second drawer is guided on a guiding mechanism on a side wall of the interior container. The second drawer has a third roller configuration being staggered in relation to the first roller configuration viewed in the depth direction of the second drawer.
