Refrigeration appliance with vacuum insulation

Abstract

A domestic refrigeration appliance, such as a refrigerator, freezer or the like, comprising a door and with vacuum heat insulation interposed between a substantially vacuum-tight inner shell and a substantially vacuum-tight outer shell; the two shells are joined together vacuum-tight on that side towards the door by means of a flange-like extension provided on one of said shells and welded vacuum-tight to the other shell.

We claim:  
     
         1 . A domestic refrigeration appliance, such as a refrigerator, freezer or the like, comprising a door and with vacuum heat insulation interposed between a substantially vacuum-tight inner shell and a substantially vacuum-tight outer shell, wherein the two shells are joined together vacuum-tight on that side towards the door by means of a flange-like extension provided on one of said shells and welded vacuum-tight to the other shell.  
     
     
         2 . An appliance as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the flange-like extension is present on the inner shell.  
     
     
         3 . An appliance as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the flange-like extension is present on the outer extension.  
     
     
         4 . An appliance as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the flange-like extension presents a first portion bent towards the heat insulation and an end portion adhering to and welded to the other shell.  
     
     
         5 . An appliance as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein a cover is provided removably connected, on the side towards the door, to the two shells, said cover defining with the flange-like extension at least one channel.  
     
     
         6 . An appliance as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein a hot loop extends within the channel.  
     
     
         7 . An appliance as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the channel is connected to the condenser of the appliance refrigeration circuit.  
     
     
         8 . An appliance as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein several channels are provided for the hot loop, for the magnetic strip and for electric cables respectively.
