Abstract:
Disclosed is a refrigerator, comprising: a refrigerator body having a cooling chamber; a case comprising a case body having therein an accommodation space of which one side is open, and a transformation preventing member formed of a material having a higher strength than that of the case body, the transformation preventing member provided at an open region of the case body and configured to prevent transformation of the case; a drawer accommodated in the case in a withdrawable manner; and a depressurizing device configured to depressurize inside of the drawer and the case to a pressure lower than an atmospheric pressure, when the drawer is accommodated in the case. Under such configuration, transformation of the case can be prevented, and the case can be easily fabricated.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Haushaltskältegerät (1), aufweisend einen thermisch isolierten Innenbehälter (2), der zwei gegenüberliegende Seitenwände (3a, 3b), eine Bodenwand (4) und eine Deckenwand (5), sowie eine Rückwand (6) aufweist, die einen Lagerraum (8) für Kühlgut begrenzen,derüber einbezüglich des Innenbehälters (2) beweglich gelagertes Türblatt (7) zugänglich ist, sowie aufweisend wenigstens einen im Lagerraum (8) zwischen den beiden gegenüberliegenden Seitenwänden (3a, 3b) angeordneten Fachboden (13), der eine Abstellfläche für das Kühlgut bildet, und eine im Lagerraum (8) zwischen einer Schließstellung und einer Offenstellung verschiebbar gelagerte Kühlgutschublade (14), die einen von wenigstens einer Schubladenwand begrenzten Schubladenraum (15) aufweist, wobei die Kühlgutschublade (14) ausgebildet ist, in ihrer Schließstellung mit einer Unterseite des Fachbodens (13) abzudichten, um den Schubladenraum (15) feuchtigkeitsdicht abzuschließen.
Abstract:
A thermally insulated machine (100) having a housing (106), a refrigerating compartment (108) positioned within the housing (106) and a wall (120,122,124,126,128,130) between the refrigerating compartment (108) and an area exterior to the compartment. The wall including a first insulation layer (306) and a second insulation layer (308), wherein the first insulation layer (306) has a higher thermal resistance than the second insulation layer (308), and wherein the first insulation layer (306) is positioned closer to the refrigerating compartment (108) than the second insulation layer (308).
Abstract:
A vacuum adiabatic body includes a first plate configured to define at least a portion of a wall for a first space, a second plate configured to define at least a portion of a wall for a second space having a temperature different from that of the first space, and a support configured to maintain the third space. The support includes a coupling mechanism by which a first support plate and a second support plate are coupled to each other and integrated with each other and a seating mechanism configured to maintain a gap between the first support plate and the second support plate at points at which the first support plate and the second support plate contact each other. The seating mechanisms are spaced apart from the coupling mechanism.
Abstract:
A refrigerator includes a cabinet having a storage chamber, a main door pivotably mounted to the cabinet while including an opening provided at an inside of the main door, and a stepped portion provided around the opening, a sub-storage chamber mounted at the inside of the main door, a sub-door mounted to the main door, to allow a user to have access to the sub-storage chamber, the sub-door having opposite side surfaces with front portions protruding forwards of a front surface of the main door while having a greater width than the opening and stepped portion between the front portions of the side surfaces, to cover the stepped portion by the side surfaces, and a hinge pivotably mounted to the main door and coupled to the sub-door while being bent at an intermediate portion thereof, to pivotably support the sub-door with respect to the main door.
Abstract:
Shelf brackets to conduct electricity to refrigerator shelves are disclosed. An example shelf bracket includes an end configured to engage a support rail, the end having a first area to conduct electricity from the support rail to the shelf bracket, an arm extending from the end to support the shelf, the arm comprising a second area to conduct electricity from the shelf bracket to the shelf, a non-electrically conductive coating applied to substantially all of the shelf bracket except in the first and second areas, a first electrically conductive material applied to at least a portion of the first area, and a second electrically conductive material applied to at least a portion of the second area, wherein the shelf bracket is formed from a third electrically conductive material, the third electrically conductive material to conduct electricity between the first and second areas.
Abstract:
The door is made with a multi-lite insulated glass unit and a frame of aluminum rails. The insulated glass unit has a stepped cross-section with the outer glass lite being larger than the inner glass lites. An opaque non-conductive ceramic frit forms a rectangularly shaped border to mask the mounting of the inner glass lite(s). An electrically conductive coating on the outer glass lite is insulated from the aluminum rails of the frame by a plastic strip disposed between the outer glass lite and each rail.
Abstract:
A refrigerator is disclosed for improved food storage capability. The refrigerator comprises an internal cavity having a membrane that at least partially covers a portion of the walls of the internal cavity.
Abstract:
A gasket is positioned on an icebox within a refrigerator appliance. The gasket includes a first lateral edge spaced apart from a second lateral edge. The first lateral edge has a first height and the second lateral edge has a second height. The first height is greater than the second height. A longitudinal edge extends between and is integrally formed with the first and second lateral edges. The longitudinal edge tapers from the first height to the second height. The second lateral edge is positioned proximate a hinge assembly of an appliance door.
