Refrigeration appliance comprising an ice and/or liquid dispenser

Abstract

A household refrigeration appliance includes a housing with several walls that have an insulating layer and surround an interior to be cooled, and/or at least one door that has at least one insulating layer. A recess that is accessible from outside is provided in a wall of the housing and/or in the door. In the area of the recess, the wall and/or the door is fitted with at least one heat-insulating element which has a lower thermal conductivity than the insulating layer of the wall and/or door.

         13 . A refrigeration appliance, comprising:
 a housing having at least one member selected from the group consisting of several walls provided with at least one insulating layer and enclosing an interior space to be cooled, and at least one door having at least one insulating layer, said member having a recess that is accessible from outside and at least one heat-insulating element in a region of the recess, said heat-insulating element having a thermal conductivity which is lower than a thermal conductivity of the insulating layer of the member.   
     
     
         14 . The refrigeration appliance of  claim 13  constructed in the form of a household refrigeration appliance. 
     
     
         15 . The refrigeration appliance of  claim 13 , wherein the heat-insulating element is configured as a vacuum element. 
     
     
         16 . The refrigeration appliance of  claim 13 , wherein the heat-insulating element is configured in the form of at least one plate, which covers at least in part a rear wall of the recess on an inside and/or outside. 
     
     
         17 . The refrigeration appliance of  claim 13 , wherein the heat-insulating element is configured in the form of at least one plate, which forms at least part of a rear wall of the recess. 
     
     
         18 . The refrigeration appliance of  claim 13 , wherein the heat-insulating element is configured as a curved plate, which covers at least in part a rear wall and two side walls of the recess on the inside and/or outside. 
     
     
         19 . The refrigeration appliance of  claim 13 , wherein the heat-insulating element is configured as a curved plate, which forms at least part of a rear wall and two side walls of the recess 
     
     
         20 . The refrigeration appliance of  claim 13 , wherein the heat-insulating element is configured as a twice angled plate, which covers at least in part a rear wall and two side walls of the recess on the inside and/or outside. 
     
     
         21 . The refrigeration appliance of  claim 20 , wherein the plate is angled to establish a trapezoidal cross section. 
     
     
         22 . The refrigeration appliance of  claim 13 , wherein the heat-insulating element is configured as a twice angled plate, which forms at least part of a rear wall and two side walls of the recess. 
     
     
         23 . The refrigeration appliance of  claim 22 , wherein the plate is angled to establish a trapezoidal cross section. 
     
     
         24 . The refrigeration appliance of  claim 13 , wherein the heat-insulating element has a face which confronts the interior space and is covered by the insulating layer. 
     
     
         25 . The refrigeration appliance of  claim 13 , further comprising a dispenser provided in the member above the recess. 
     
     
         26 . The refrigeration appliance of  claim 13 , wherein the recess is defined by an inner surface which is covered at least in part by the at least one heat-insulating element. 
     
     
         27 . The refrigeration appliance of  claim 13 , wherein the recess is defined by at least one outer wall which is formed by the at least one heat-insulating element. 
     
     
         28 . The refrigeration appliance of  claim 13 , wherein the heat-insulating element adjoins the recess, said insulating layer being implemented as a foamed insulating layer which covers the heat-insulating element on an inside and/or outside. 
     
     
         29 . The refrigeration appliance of  claim 13 , wherein the heat-insulating element is fastened to the member by an adhesive. 
     
     
         30 . The refrigeration appliance of  claim 29 , wherein the adhesive is a double-sided adhesive tape. 
     
     
         31 . The refrigeration appliance of  claim 13 , wherein the door is configured as a wing of a double door of the housing. 
     
     
         32 . The refrigeration appliance of  claim 13 , wherein the insulating layer has in a region of the heat-insulating element a thickness which is smaller than a thickness in a region offset to a side of the recess or above and/or below the recess. 
     
     
         33 . The refrigeration appliance of  claim 32 , wherein the region of the insulating layer is a rear face of the recess.
