Abstract

An arrangement for directing the defrost water in refrigerators, comprising a single cabinet ( 10 ), provided with internal lateral walls ( 11 ), in which interior is superiorly mounted an evaporator ( 20 ) positioned immediately above a tray ( 40 ) for collecting defrost water, comprising at least one deflecting chute ( 15 ) provided on each of the internal lateral walls ( 11 ) of the cabinet ( 10 ), in a downwardly backwardly inclined arrangement above the mounting plane of the tray ( 40 ), and having an upper end projecting beyond the vertical projection of the contour of the evaporator ( 20 ), and a lower end that is back spaced in relation to the vertical projection of the front edge of the tray ( 40 ).

1 . An arrangement for directing the defrost water in refrigerators, comprising a single cabinet ( 10 ) provided with internal lateral walls ( 11 ) and in which is superiorly mounted an evaporator ( 20 ) positioned immediately above a tray ( 40 ) for collecting defrost water, characterized in that at least one deflecting chute ( 15 ) is provided on each of the internal lateral walls ( 11 ) of the cabinet ( 10 ), in a downwardly backwardly inclined arrangement above the mounting plane of the tray ( 40 ), and having an upper end projecting beyond the vertical projection of the contour of the evaporator ( 20 ), and a lower end that is back spaced in relation to the vertical projection of the front edge of the tray ( 40 ).  
     
     
         2 . The arrangement as set forth in  claim 1 , characterized in that each internal lateral wall ( 11 ) of the cabinet ( 10 ) is provided with a plurality of deflecting chutes ( 15 ), some of them having the upper end disposed inside the vertical projection of the contour of the evaporator ( 20 ).  
     
     
         3 . The arrangement as set forth in  claim 1 , characterized in that each deflecting chute ( 15 ) takes the form of a recessed groove that is molded in the respective internal lateral wall ( 11 ) of the cabinet ( 10 ).
