Abstract
A domestic appliance having a heat-insulated door with an inner and outer wall that are connected to each other along the longitudinal edges of the walls and wherein the walls delimit an interspace to heat-insulate the door. At least one closing element is connected to the transverse edges of the inner wall and/or the outer wall. An opening of the closing element receives a hinge pin and a sleeve is attached to the inner side of the closing element. The sleeve has internal hollow space located behind the opening in the direction of the interspace.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 - 18 . (canceled)
19 . A domestic appliance, comprising:
a heat-insulated door having an inner wall and an outer wall, each of the inner wall and the outer wall having longitudinal edges and transverse edges, the inner wall connected to the outer wall along the longitudinal edges and the inner wall and the outer wall delimiting an interspace to heat-insulate the door; at least one closing element connected to a respective one of the transverse edges of at least one of the inner wall and the outer wall, the closing element having an opening and an inner side; a hinge pin received in the opening of the closing element; and a sleeve attached to the inner side of the closing element and having an internal hollow space located behind the opening in the direction of the interspace.
20 . The domestic appliance of claim 19 , wherein the domestic appliance is a domestic refrigeration appliance.
21 . The domestic appliance of claim 19 , further comprising a door bearing bush molded to the closing element to engage in the internal hollow space of the sleeve, wherein the opening of the closing element defines an entry of the door bearing bush.
22 . The domestic appliance of claim 21 , wherein the door bearing bush defines an injection opening to inject insulating material into an inner hollow space of the door.
23 . The domestic appliance of claim 21 , wherein the door bearing bush comprises a vent valve to ventilate an inner hollow space of the door.
24 . The domestic appliance of claim 19 , further comprising a stiffening element having the sleeve and a base plate that abuts on the closing element.
25 . The domestic appliance of claim 24 , wherein the stiffening element comprises a wall that abuts on at least one of the inner wall and the outer wall and that delimits the base plate.
26 . The domestic appliance of claim 19 , further comprising a stiffening element having the sleeve and a base; wherein the closing element has a cutout; and wherein the base is inserted in the cutout of the closing element.
27 . The domestic appliance of claim 26 , wherein the base is locked in the cutout.
28 . The domestic appliance of claim 19 , wherein the outer wall supports a ledge angled towards the inner wall along at least one of the transverse edges; wherein the closing element has a groove that is open towards an exterior side of the door; and wherein the ledge engages into the groove of the closing element.
29 . The domestic appliance of claim 28 , wherein the groove is wider than the ledge engaging into the groove; wherein the groove has a side wall; wherein ribs protrude from the side all; and wherein the ledge is clamped to the ribs.
30 . The domestic appliance of claim 28 , wherein the outer wall defines a front panel and two side edges of the door, wherein the two side edges border the front panel.
31 . The domestic appliance of claim 30 , wherein the outer wall comprises two peripheral edges to engage from the two side edges behind the front panel.
32 . The domestic appliance of claim 31 , wherein the closing element supports a wall that supports the front panel, and wherein a length of the wall is shorter than a distance between the two peripheral edges.
33 . The domestic appliance of claim 30 , wherein the closing element has a front edge; wherein the door has a front face; and wherein the front edge of the closing element moves back behind the front face of the door.
34 . The domestic appliance of claim 30 , wherein the closing element supports two tabs that abut on the outside of the two side edges.
35 . The domestic appliance of claim 34 , further comprising a stiffening element having the sleeve, and wherein each of the two side edges is fixed between the stiffening element and a respective one of the two tabs.
36 . The domestic appliance of claim 31 , wherein a stiffening element defines a stop for one of the peripheral ledges.
37 . The domestic appliance of claim 31 , wherein the outer wall defines a respective hollow rib between a respective one of the two side edges and a respective one of the two peripheral edges; and wherein a stiffening element has a projection that engages in a hollow space of the hollow rib.
38 . An appliance, comprising:
a housing having a hinge pin; a door having an inner wall and an outer wall, the inner wall connected to the outer wall so as to define an interspace between the inner wall and the outer wall; a finishing element arranged on one of top and bottom of at least one of the inner wall and the outer wall, the finishing element having a door bearing bush and an opening, the opening to receive the hinge pin of the housing so as to rotate the door in relation to the housing; and a reinforcing element having a sleeve to receive the door bearing bush of the finishing element.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
