Definitions

  • Refrigerating appliance in particular household refrigerating appliance
  • the invention relates to a refrigeration device, in particular household refrigerating appliance, with at least one arranged on the inner wall of its refrigeration appliance door height adjustable Matabstel- ler.
  • Refrigerators especially household refrigerators such.
  • refrigerators, freezers or refrigerator / freezer combination devices usually have one or more door racks, so storage compartments or storage containers for refrigerated goods such.
  • refrigerated goods For example, bottles, drinks packages, eggs, butter containers or other small refrigerated goods.
  • These are permanently mounted in simple, refrigeration unit types permanently in a certain, fixed predetermined height position on the inner wall of the refrigerator door.
  • household refrigeration appliance types with better features of the respective door rack is releasably attached to the door of the refrigerators and can be offset with respect to its height position, so that the classification of door racks on the refrigerator door different size ratios can be adjusted by contutedamente.
  • retaining cams are provided in two different, fixed predetermined fastening positions for the respective door racks on the door inner wall of the refrigerator.
  • To change the height position of the respective door compartment it has hitherto been necessary for it to be completely removed from the retaining cams on the inner wall of the door from its previous mounting position and then firmly locked in the new height position with retaining cams provided there on the inner wall of the door.
  • This is quite complicated, inconvenient and expensive.
  • it is usually necessary that such a door rack is cleared before adjusting empty.
  • Usually only two different, fixed predetermined altitudes are provided per door rack, resulting in a low flexibility in the arrangement of the door racks.
  • DE 85 17 976 already discloses a very finely adjustable height adjustment device for door storage containers.
  • the steps for the height adjustment are given by arranged on the refrigerator door, rack-like rails, in which, provided on the storage containers locking lugs engage.
