  • Patent number: 10317130
    Abstract: A refrigeration appliance includes a body having a cooling chamber which can be closed at a door opening by a door attached to the body. The refrigeration appliance has a light and storage shelves in the cooling chamber which are spaced apart from the door opening by a spacing leaving a clear space between the door opening and the storage shelves. A drawer disposed underneath the storage shelves projects into the clear space when pushed in and the drawer has side walls and a front edge. The light is a spotlight for emitting light within a cone of light so that the center of the front edge of the drawer is located within the cone of light and the side walls of the drawer are located outside the cone of light.

  • Publication number: 20140373561
    Abstract: The invention relates to a household refrigeration appliance (1) having a thermally-insulated housing (2), a door leaf (3) disposed pivotably on the housing (2) with an inner side and an outer side (3a) which, when the door leaf (3) is closed, delimit a refrigeration compartment. The household refrigeration appliance (1) comprises a water and/or ice dispenser (7) with a water or ice output (8), which is disposed behind the outer side (3a) of the door leaf (3) in or on the door leaf (3), a cover (10) which is intended to cover the water or ice output (8) in a first position and to reveal the water or ice output (8) in a second position, drive means (15) coupled to the cover (10), which is configured to move the cover (10) between the two positions, and a proximity sensor (13). The household refrigeration appliance (1) is configured, as a result of signals generated by the proximity sensor (13), to automatically move the cover (10) between the two positions by means of the drive means (15).
