Refrigerator with interior lighting

Abstract

A refrigerator with a body and a door fastened to the body to enclose a heat-insulated inner space formed in the body. At least one luminous element for lighting the inner space is fixed to the inner side of the door facing the inner space.

1 - 11 . (canceled)  
   
   
       12 . A refrigeration appliance, comprising: 
 a body;    a door attached to said body;    a heat-insulated interior formed in said body; and    at least one luminous element for lighting said interior, said luminous element arranged on an inside surface of said door facing said interior.    
   
   
       13 . The refrigeration appliance according to  claim 12 , including said luminous element radiates predominantly in an angular range, whereof the apex is formed by said luminous element and which on the one hand is delimited by a substantially vertical line to said inside surface and on the other hand by a section of said inside surface running from said luminous element to the attached side of said door.  
   
   
       14 . The refrigeration appliance according to  claim 12 , including said luminous element arranged substantially centrally with respect to the direction of width of said door.  
   
   
       15 . The refrigeration appliance according to  claim 12 , including said door has two spaced apart assembly points on both sides of a middle line of said door, on each of which said luminous element optionally can be mounted.  
   
   
       16 . The refrigeration appliance according to  claim 15 , including said luminous element is mounted on the one of said two assembly points, which is situated on the side of the middle line closest to the attached side of said door.  
   
   
       17 . The refrigeration appliance according to  claim 14 , including said luminous element optionally can be mounted on said door in two orientations rotated opposite to one another through substantially180° about an axis substantially vertical to said door.  
   
   
       18 . The refrigeration appliance according to  claim 12 , including an adjustable beam-shaping element arranged on said luminous element.  
   
   
       19 . The refrigeration appliance according to  claim 18 , including said beam-shaping element is one of a reflector and a light shade.  
   
   
       20 . The refrigeration according to  claim 18 , including said beam-shaping element is a refractive element.  
   
   
       21 . A refrigeration appliance, comprising: 
 a body;    a door attached to said body;    a heat-insulated interior formed in said body;    said interior divided into a plurality of compartments; and    at least one luminous element for lighting said interior, said luminous element arranged on an inside surface of said door facing said interior at the level of each said compartment.    
   
   
       22 . The refrigeration appliance according to  claim 21 , including one luminous element extends over the height of several of said compartments.  
   
   
       23 . The refrigeration appliance according to  claim 21 , including said luminous element radiates predominantly in an angular range, whereof the apex is formed by said luminous element and which on the one hand is delimited by a substantially vertical line to said inside surface and on the other hand by a section of said inside surface running from said luminous element to the attached side of said door.  
   
   
       24 . The refrigeration appliance according to  claim 21 , including said luminous element arranged substantially centrally with respect to the direction of width of said door.  
   
   
       25 . The refrigeration appliance according to  claim 21 , including said door has two spaced apart assembly points on both sides of a middle line of said door, on each of which said luminous element optionally can be mounted.  
   
   
       26 . The refrigeration appliance according to  claim 25 , including said luminous element is mounted on the one of said two assembly points, which is situated on the side of the middle line closest to the attached side of said door.  
   
   
       27 . The refrigeration appliance according to  claim 24 , including said luminous element optionally can be mounted on said door in two orientations rotated opposite to one another through substantially180° about an axis substantially vertical to said door.  
   
   
       28 . The refrigeration appliance according to  claim 21 , including an adjustable beam-shaping element arranged on said luminous element.  
   
   
       29 . The refrigeration appliance according to  claim 28 , including said beam-shaping element is one of a reflector and a light shade.  
   
   
       30 . The refrigeration according to  claim 28 , including said beam-shaping element is a refractive element.
