Abstract

A refrigerating appliance is shown, comprising a refrigerating chamber ( 1 ) for goods to be refrigerated, a housing ( 2 ) receiving the refrigerating chamber ( 1 ) at least partially, at least one door ( 4 ) which is provided on a housing opening ( 3 ) of the housing ( 2 ), can be moved with respect to the housing ( 2 ) and provides access to the refrigerating chamber, and further comprising a door attachment ( 7 ) which is provided between the door ( 4 ) and the housing ( 2 ) and includes an opening device ( 8 ) having a rocker lever ( 14 ) for moving the door ( 4 ) about a tilting axis, particularly a horizontal tilting axis, from a closed to an open position ( 10, 11 ). In order to provide advantageous constructional conditions it is proposed that the door attachment ( 7 ) comprises a carrier ( 15 ) which is connected to the rocker lever ( 14 ) and in particular adjoins the rocker lever ( 14 ), wherein said carrier carries at least part ( 16 ) of a further opening device of the door attachment ( 7 ) for moving the door ( 4 ) from a closed position ( 10 ) into an open position ( 18 ) which differs from the open position ( 11 ) of the other opening device ( 8 ).

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A refrigerating appliance, comprising a refrigerating chamber ( 1 ) for goods to be refrigerated, a housing ( 2 ) receiving the refrigerating chamber ( 1 ) at least partially, at least one door ( 4 ) which is provided on a housing opening ( 3 ) of the housing ( 2 ), can be moved with respect to the housing ( 2 ) and provides access to the refrigerating chamber, and further comprising a door attachment ( 7 ) which is provided between the door ( 4 ) and the housing ( 2 ) and includes an opening device ( 8 ) having a rocker lever ( 14 ) for moving the door ( 4 ) about a tilting axis, particularly a horizontal tilting axis, from a closed to an open position ( 10 , 11 ), wherein the door attachment ( 7 ) comprises a carrier ( 15 ) which is connected to the rocker lever ( 14 ) and in particular adjoins the rocker lever ( 14 ), wherein said carrier carries at least part ( 16 ) of a further opening device of the door attachment ( 7 ) for moving the door ( 4 ) from a closed position ( 10 ) into an open position ( 18 ) which differs from the open position ( 11 ) of the other opening device ( 8 ). 
     
     
         2 . A refrigerating appliance according to  claim 1 , wherein the door attachment ( 7 ) comprises a support ( 22 ) and the carrier ( 15 ) is arranged in relation to the door ( 4 ) in such a way that during the movement of the door ( 4 ) about the tilting axis ( 9 ) the carrier ensures discharge of the forces onto the rocker lever ( 14 ) via the support ( 22 ) in order to thus provide at least partial force relief for the further opening device and/or the door ( 4 ). 
     
     
         3 . A refrigerating appliance according to  claim 1 , wherein the carrier ( 15 ) which especially forms a common component with the rocker lever ( 14 ) comprises a carrier frame ( 15 ′). 
     
     
         4 . A refrigerating appliance according to  claim 1 , wherein the further opening device is arranged as a sliding guide ( 40 ), with the carrier ( 15 ) comprising a horizontal guide ( 41 ) of the sliding guide ( 40 ). 
     
     
         5 . A refrigerating appliance according to  claim 1 , wherein the further opening device is arranged as a pivoting device ( 17 ) which comprises a pivot bearing ( 16 ) which is fastened to the carrier ( 15 ) and comprises a swivel axis ( 19 ) which extends in an inclined manner, especially normal, in relation to the tilting axis ( 9 ). 
     
     
         6 . A refrigerating appliance according to  claim 5 , wherein the carrier ( 15 ) provided on the side of the door facing the refrigerating chamber ( 1 ) delimits the swivel range of the door ( 4 ). 
     
     
         7 . A refrigerating appliance according to  claim 1 , wherein a force-connecting support strut ( 24 ) is provided between the housing cover ( 12 ) and a rear wall ( 23 ) of the housing protruding from the housing cover ( 12 ). 
     
     
         8 . A refrigerating appliance according to  claim 1 , wherein the housing ( 2 ) comprising a support frame delimits at least partly a recirculating air circuit ( 26 ) which supplies the temperature to the refrigerating chamber ( 1 ) between its frame carriers ( 2 ′) and transverse connections ( 2 ″), which recirculating air circuit comprises an outlet ( 27 ) for supplying refrigerating air to the door side facing the refrigerating chamber ( 1 ) in the region of the housing opening ( 3 ) adjacent to the door ( 4 ). 
     
     
         9 . A refrigerating appliance according to  claim 1 , wherein the tilting device ( 7 ) comprises two mutually spaced and especially parallel extending rocker levers ( 14 ), in the intermediate area of which there are means ( 25 ) for the refrigerant circuit of the refrigerating appliance.
