Abstract

Household refrigeration apparatus, in particular a refrigerator, comprising a storing compartment, wherein a sliding container (3-4) is located, having a front cover (5) that moves angularly from a closed condition to an open condition, where actuating means (P,7,5B) are provided for producing an angular movement of said front cover (5) following a linear movement given to said sliding container (3-4). According to the invention, said actuating means (P,7,5B) are operative to produce a change-over from the closed condition to the open condition through an angular movement of the cover (5) from top to bottom, and vice-versa. <IMAGE>
