- Fig. 1 is a schematic representation of the refrigerant circuit of a
- Household refrigerating appliance which shows a plurality of components of the refrigerant circuit in their positioning relative to each other on the finished refrigerator, wherein the housing of the refrigerator itself is omitted, however, to show the components more clearly.
- These components include a compressor 1, which is conventionally housed in a niche 2, also referred to as a machine room, shown in the figure as a dotted outline, in a lower rear region of the refrigerator body.
- a condenser 3 which receives compressed refrigerant from the compressor 1, may be plate-shaped as shown in the figure and may be mounted exposed on the rear side of the refrigerator body above the engine room 2; a compact-shaped condenser could also be accommodated in the machine room 2 and cooled by a fan.
- the refrigerant passes through a throttle point, here in the form of a capillary 4, in an evaporator 5, which is shown here as a coldwall evaporator, and from there via a suction line 7 back to the compressor 1.
- a frame heater 6 is through a refrigerant pipe formed, which extends along one of the door of the refrigeration device housing facing side of the body to prevent condensation there.
- the frame heater can be inserted in the refrigerant circuit between the compressor 1 and the condenser 3 or also downstream of the condenser 3. Smaller components such as a dryer or a particulate filter may be inserted at various locations in the refrigerant circuit.
- Components valves not shown may be provided to prevent unwanted displacements of the refrigerant, for example between condenser 3 and evaporator 5 at times when the compressor 1 is out of operation, or to a refrigeration device associated with several storage chambers and these storage chambers respectively
- Evaporators control the distribution of the refrigerant to the evaporator.
- FIG. 2 the rear side of the compressor 1 facing away from the viewer on FIG. 1, which is easily accessible during the assembly of the device, is shown in FIG. 2 in a perspective view
- Connecting member 8 is provided.
- the connecting support part 8 is integrally formed from sheet metal and comprises a substantially rectangular base plate 9, at the upper and lower edge of each of which a web 10 or 1 1 is bent at right angles. At the vertical edges of the base plate 9, a tongue 12 is cut free and angled to conform to the outer shape of the housing of the compressor. 1
- connection support part 8 snugly and allow attachment of the connection support part 8 by screwing, spot welding or the like.
- the upper web 10 has a plurality of circular recesses 13, 14, 15, with which each open-edged cutouts 16, 17, 18 of the lower web 1 1 are aligned.
- Cutouts 16, 17, 18 each have a keyhole-like shape with a round core region 19 and an input region 20, which connects the core region 19 with the edge of the web 11 and is narrower than the core region 19.
- the open-edged cutouts 16, 17, 18 are provided to hang a pipe section 21 therein, as shown in detail in FIGS. 3 and 4 in detail.
- a main part 22 of the pipe section has a constant diameter which is slightly smaller than the width of the
- the main part 22 is adjoined by an inner end section 23, which is slightly widened in comparison with the main part 22. Its diameter is larger than the width of the
- Entrance area 20 so that the pipe section 21, the entrance area 20 can not easily pass when the inner end portion 23 is equal to the web 1 1.
- the inner end portion 23 in turn adjoins a further flared outer end portion 24 which forms a stop and prevents the
- Tube piece 21 escapes down from its cutout 16, 17 or 18.
- each pipe section 21 is chosen which is smaller than the diameter of the core portion 19 of the next larger section, it is ensured that each pipe section 21 can be securely fixed only in that recess 16, 17 or 18, which is provided for this purpose , Thus, errors in the placement of the pipe sections 21 on the connection support member 8 can be effectively prevented.
- Recesses 13, 14, 15 also have different diameters. As can be seen in FIGS. 3 and 4, in each of these recesses 13, 14, 15, an elastic ring 25 is locked, the narrow, down to the web 1 1 towards tapering

In the open ends of the connecting member 8 similar to that shown in Fig. 2 and a plurality of hinged in the recesses of the lower web 1 1 of the connecting member 8, U-shaped connecting pipe pieces 29.
- the connecting pipe pieces 29 are each at both ends with a secure suspension on the web 1 1 enabling inner and outer end portions 23, 24 provided.
- Connecting pipe pieces 29 to be inserted pipe sections 21 may therefore have a constant diameter, which is particularly advantageous if it is the pipe sections 21 to integral components of the components
- the diameters of the end sections 23, 24 may differ from one connecting pipe section 29 to the other, as explained above and in the figure
- a connecting pipe piece 29 may also have at its two ends end portions 23, 24 of different dimensions in order to connect pipe pieces of different diameters belonging to different components of the refrigerant circuit.
- Fig. 6 shows a perspective view of a compressor 1 according to another embodiment of the invention.
- the compressor 1 has in a conventional manner a sound-absorbing housing, which is composed of two hermetically interconnected shells 30, 31 and the edges of which are widened to each other touching flanges 32, 33.
- One of these flanges is in turn widened to a web for the anchoring of the pipe sections 21, 27 to be joined together, in the present case it is the flange 32 of the upper shell 30.
- this web is denoted by 10, and an integrally formed with a side wall of the lower shell 31, provided with open-edged recesses web with 1 1.
- the housing of the evaporator 1 acts here as a connection support part. The assembly of the pipe sections takes place in the same manner as described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.
- Fig. 7 shows a variant of the compressor 1, in which a portion of the web 1 1 is omitted, because two pipe sections 34, each forming a suction port or a pressure port of the compressor 1, no anchoring in the web 1 1 require.
