| 20090151385 | Multipart Household Appliance - A household appliance is provided that includes a first and a second housing which are disposed next to each other such that one sidewall faces another sidewall and which are attached to one another. A seal is elastically compressed between facing outer surfaces of the sidewalls. At least one shoulder that is rigidly connected to the outer surface is provided on each housing. The shoulders of the two housings face away from each other while being flush with one another in a direction that extends essentially perpendicular to the outer surfaces. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20100018221 | AUXILIARY COOLING DEVICE - An auxiliary cooling device is used in another main cooling device, such as a refrigerator. The auxiliary cooling device includes a thermoelectric element, such as a Peltier element, which includes a heat source and a heat sink. The heat sink is used to directly or indirectly cool an item, such as a bottle of liquid. The heat source, which is insulated from the heat sink, is in close thermal contact with a heat exchange fluid in a container. The heat exchange fluid is used as a thermal buffer for the waste heat generated by the cooling process. That waste heat may be transmitted into the main storage chamber of the main cooling device. | 01-28-2010 |
| 20100089089 | REFRIGERATING DEVICE WITH CIRCULATING AIR COOLING SYSTEM - A refrigerating device is provided that includes an evaporator and a compartment that is cooled by air circulating air from and to the evaporator, wherein a diffusion layer can be displaced between a first position, in which air passage openings distributed in a wall separating the compartment from a distribution chamber are covered by the diffusion layer, and a second position, in which the diffusion layer is positioned so as to allow air to flow from the evaporator through the distribution chamber into the compartment while bypassing the diffusion layer. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20100164342 | DOMESTIC APPLIANCE COMPRISING A SUPPORT SYSTEM - A cupboard-type domestic appliance is provided having an interior in which a height-adjustable support system is mounted. The support system includes a vertical rail provided with a plurality of snap-in recesses and a supporting arm that has a plurality of projections each of which engages with one of the snap-in recesses. The rail includes a profiled element that is immobilized on a wall via an at least one fastener and a strip is provided that can be vertically displaced in the profiled element between a position in which the at least one fastener is accessible through an opening on one side of the profiled element that faces away from the wall and another position in which the at least one fastener is concealed behind the strip. | 07-01-2010 |
