         19 . A method for making a vacuum-tight connection between the lead-through and/or the port and the envelope of a vacuum insulation body of a refrigerator and/or freezer according to  claim 18  by using a molding compound, wherein
 the molding compound comprises at least one clamp, and 
 the clamp exerts a pressing force on the envelope and on the lead-through and/or on the port, so that the material of the envelope and the material of the lead-through or the port are thermally sealed due to the pressing force. 
 
     
     
         20 . A method for making a vacuum-tight connection between the lead-through and/or the port and the envelope of a vacuum insulation body of a refrigerator and/or freezer according to  claim 13  by using a molding compound, wherein
 the molding compound comprises at least one damp, and 
 the damp exerts a pressing force on the envelope and on the lead through and/or on the port, so that the material of the envelope and the material of the lead-through or the port are thermally sealed due to the pressing force. 
 
     
     
         21 . A method for making a vacuum-tight connection between the lead-through and/or the port and the envelope of a vacuum insulation body of a refrigerator and/or freezer according to  claim 12  by using a molding compound, wherein
 the molding compound comprises at least one clamp, and 
 the clamp exerts a pressing force on the envelope and on the lead-through and/or on the port, so that the material of the envelope and the material of the lead-through or the port are thermally sealed due to the pressing force.
