  • WO 2008/077742 A2 describes a refrigeration device with a refrigerator door on which at least one height-adjustable arranged door racks is provided, which is releasably secured to the inside of the door by means of a locking device for height adjustment, the door racks having a first operable locking means, with a second locking means the locking device is formed.
  • DE 10 2009 046 612 A1 describes a refrigeration appliance, in particular domestic refrigeration appliance, having a door with a door inside, which has latching means which cooperate for holding a door compartment on the inside of the door with corresponding counter-latching means at least one latching device which is arranged as a separate component on the door rack , wherein the locking device is floatingly mounted on the door rack.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a household refrigeration appliance with at least one height adjustable on an inner wall of a door panel of the household refrigeration door racks in which a latching counter-locking means connection is able to reliably hold the door racks in the desired height on the inner wall of a door panel.

  • Door racks each having a counter-latching means on two opposite end portions, the spring-moved in a locking direction in a locking position, positively engages in one of the latching steps, wherein the latching steps and the counter-latching means have corresponding upper wall portions, at least substantially in a horizontal plane extend and corresponding lower wall portions which extend at least substantially in a sloping plane in the locking direction.
  • the movably mounted door leaf can, for example, be mounted pivotably on the household refrigerating appliance about a vertical axis.
  • the door leaf for example, at an upper and lower front end of hinge fittings, which are known in the art as such, be pivotally mounted.
  • the door leaf can be hinged either left or right.
  • the door leaf may be mounted on hinge fittings, which are posted, for example, on a body of the household refrigerator or on the inner container.
  • the door leaf and / or the hinge fittings can be designed for an optionally left hinged or hinged right hinged storage.
  • the storage space may be that of a cold room, which is generally used for frost-free cooling of refrigerated goods, preferably at temperatures between plus 4 and plus 8 degrees Celsius.
  • the cold room can, at least partially, also be designed as a zero-degree compartment, in particular for keeping fruit or vegetables fresh.
  • the storage space can also be that of a freezer compartment, which generally serves to freeze frozen food at about minus 18 degrees Celsius.
  • the refrigerating apparatus for cooling the storage room may include a refrigerant cycle system configured to supply refrigerant compressed by a compressor to a condenser in which the refrigerant is at least partially transferred from a gaseous to a liquid state while heat is extracted therefrom. Downstream of the condenser in the flow direction, the refrigerant can be fed to an expansion valve. An output port of the expansion valve is then connected to an input of the evaporator, in which the cooled down refrigerant is relaxed again, in particular an at least liquefied portion of the refrigerant passes back into the gas phase and thereby absorbs heat from the storage room. An outlet of the evaporator is in turn connected to the compressor, whereby the refrigerant cycle system of the refrigeration device is closed.

  • the spring element or latching element for example, by means of a latching nose with an obliquely lower wall portion are supported in a mounted on the inner wall of the door leaf retaining strip, which has the latching steps.
  • An adjustability of the door compartment in a downward direction can only take place when the fixed on both opposite lateral sides of the door compartment spring elements or locking element are pressed simultaneously by fingers of a user's hand to release the spring elements or locking element from the latch.
  • a height adjustment is designed upwards so that a pressing of both spring elements or locking elements is not necessary by an oblique wall on an upper wall portion of the spring element or locking element.
  • a one-hand operation of the height-adjustable door compartment is given when moving up. The user can therefore position with a single hand in the middle of the door compartment and thus perform the movement upwards.
  • the counter-locking means and / or the corresponding latching step have corresponding lower wall portions which extend at least substantially in a sloping plane in the locking direction, a reliable seat of the door compartment is secured to the door leaf. Due to the at least substantially in a sloping in the locking direction extending plane of the lower wall portions of the counter-locking means is pressed into the latching stage due to the gravity of the door compartment and the stored therein refrigerated goods and thereby reinforces the remaining connection between counter-locking means and detent stage.
  • the latching steps may be formed on two locking strips, which are connected to the inner wall of the door leaf or integrally formed therewith and between which locking strips of the door rack is mounted vertically adjustable.
