  • Publication number: 20090115302
    Abstract: The invention relates to a refrigerator that includes at least one vertical support that has a vertical guiding groove with a recess and a plurality of vertically staggered steps provided therein, and a horizontal support provided with a peg engaged into the recess of the guiding groove. In the interlocked position of the horizontal support, the peg rests on one of the steps and presses against a first wall of the vertical support from which the steps protrude. A contact surface of the horizontal support presses against a second wall of the vertical support, the second wall being arranged opposite to the first wall. The contact surface and the steps are staggered in the direction of the width of the walls, the steps being located in a lower position in the recess than the contact surface.

  • Patent number: 4967316
    Abstract: An electrical circuit unit, particularly for motor vehicles, features a grounded housing (1) and a printed circuit board (2) which, for protection against incoming and outgoing radiation of electrical noise, is short-circuited at high frequencies to the grounded housing. For this purpose, a noise suppression capacitor (6) on the PC board (2) is connected in series to a second capacitor. This second capacitor is formed by a metallized surface (8) on the board (2) and a metal-filled adhesive, as a first plate, a metal inner surface (11) of the housing (1) as a second plate, and an intermediate passivation or eloxal layer serving as a dielectric (13). The metal-filled adhesive acts to electrically bridge most of the gap between the metallized surface (8) and the housing surface (11), thereby capacitively coupling the metal-filled adhesive to the housing (1) and increasing the capacitance.
