- the casing (20) is fixed to the door (3) so as to remain between the inner lining (4) and the outer lining (5).
- the opening (6) on the outer lining (5) provides access into the casing (20).
- the display (7) is passed through the opening (6) and attached to the casing (20).
- the electrical connection of the display (7) is preferably provided by means of at least one cable (11) passed between the inner lining (4) and the outer lining (5).
- the refrigerator (1) of the present invention comprises a latch (15) which is provided on the upper cover (10) or the lower cover (9) and which is suitable to be moved by rotating; a plurality of claws (8) which are provided on the display (7); a plurality of housings (24) which are provided on the casing (20) and which receive the claws (8); a frame (30) which is provided on the casing (20) and which has a plurality of holding walls (33) and a plurality of cut-outs (31) remaining between the holding walls (33); and a motion transmitter (19) which transfers the movement of the latch (15) to the frame (30) and which ensures that the frame (30) is moved between a fixing position where each housing (24) is aligned with a holding wall (33) and a free position where each housing (24) is aligned with a cut-out (31).
- the latch (15) is preferably provided on the upper cover (10) for easy use.
- the flexible claws (8) provided on the display (7) are fitted into the housings (24) provided in the casing (20).
- the frame (30) provided on the casing (20) moves by means of a motion transmitter (19) when the latch (15) is moved. In the fixing position, the claws (8) bear against the holding walls (33) provided on the frame (30) such that the display (7) is fixed on the casing (20).
- the frame (30) moves and the cut-outs (31) align with the housings (24). In this case, the claws (8) provided in the housing (24) pass through the cut-out (31) and the display (7) can be easily removed from the casing (20).
