  • Patent number: 9528750
    Abstract: A refrigeration device having a first component and a second component, wherein the first component has an elongated seal element in form of a hollow profile to thermally seal the first component against the second component. The seal element also has an elongated materially-rigid first seal base and an elongated materially-elastic first seal head that is attached to the first seal base. At least one open end of the seal element is closed off by a terminating element. The terminating element has a materially-rigid second seal base and a materially-elastic second seal head that is attached to the second seal base. The first seal base and the second seal base are joined to one another.

  • Patent number: 9010890
    Abstract: A cabinet-like domestic appliance is provided having an interior in which a height-adjustable support system is mounted. The support system includes a vertical rail provided with a plurality of snap-in recesses and a supporting arm that has a plurality of projections each of which engages with one of the snap-in recesses. The rail includes a profiled element that is immobilized on a wall via an at least one fastener and a strip is provided that can be vertically displaced in the profiled element between a position in which the at least one fastener is accessible through an opening on one side of the profiled element that faces away from the wall and another position in which the at least one fastener is concealed behind the strip.

  • Patent number: 8979225
    Abstract: A refrigeration device is provided having a vertical rail that has through-openings arranged at a distance from each other and that is securely connected to a body of the refrigeration device. The refrigeration device includes a shelf support having a rear flank oriented towards the front side of the vertical rail and upper and lower hooks each having a downward oriented tip that protrudes over the rear flank and engages in one of the through-openings of the vertical rail. Only the tip of the upper hook touches the rear side of the rail and only the section of the rear flank that is arranged below the lower hook touches the front side of the rail.

  • Patent number: 8966927
    Abstract: An output unit of a refrigeration device having a niche with a rear wall, which is provided with a cover, and a method of installing the output unit. The cover includes a dish-shaped section, which is curved inward into the niche and bounded by opposite edge sections, which are connected with a niche frame. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the edge sections at front supporting surfaces of the niche frame are held in contact in an installation end position, wherein the dish-shaped section is pulled by fastening means against the rear wall of the niche. By these means, it is ensured that the narrowest or most uniform gap possible between the cover and the place of installation is guaranteed and, in addition, fastening means are not visible to the user.
