Abstract

A domestic appliance apparatus, in particular a domestic refrigeration appliance apparatus, includes at least one inner container which defines at least one interior with a height direction and at least one rail element constructed differently than the inner container. The rail element is provided for supporting at least one storage element. At least one fixing unit is provided for fixing the rail element to the inner container. The fixing unit is provided for assembling the rail element from the direction of the interior. A domestic appliance or domestic refrigeration appliance having a domestic appliance apparatus and a method for assembling a domestic appliance apparatus or domestic refrigeration appliance apparatus, are also provided.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A domestic appliance apparatus or domestic refrigeration appliance apparatus, comprising:
 at least one inner container defining at least one interior having a height direction;   at least one rail element constructed differently than said at least one inner container, said at least one rail element being configured for supporting at least one storage element; and   at least one fixing unit provided for fixing said at least one rail element to said at least one inner container, said at least one fixing unit being configured for assembling said at least one rail element from a direction of said at least one interior.   
     
     
         2 . The domestic appliance apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein said at least one fixing unit has at most one screw for fixing said at least one rail element. 
     
     
         3 . The domestic appliance apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein said at least one rail element has a main direction of extension running at least substantially parallel to said height direction in at least one assembled state. 
     
     
         4 . The domestic appliance apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein said at least one fixing unit has at least one fixing element, and said at least one rail element is configured to be fixed to said at least one fixing element from the direction of said at least one interior. 
     
     
         5 . The domestic appliance apparatus according to  claim 4 , wherein said at least one fixing element at least abuts against a side of said at least one inner container facing away from said at least one interior, in at least one assembled state. 
     
     
         6 . The domestic appliance apparatus according to  claim 4 , wherein said at least one fixing element has at least one bolt protruding into said at least one interior in at least one assembled state. 
     
     
         7 . The domestic appliance apparatus according to  claim 6 , wherein said at least one rail element has at least one aperture configured to be pushed over and anchored to said at least one bolt. 
     
     
         8 . The domestic appliance apparatus according to  claim 4 , wherein said at least one fixing element has at least one screw mounting being accessible from the direction of said at least one interior in an assembled state. 
     
     
         9 . The domestic appliance apparatus according to  claim 8 , wherein said at least one rail element has at least one further screw mounting through which said at least one screw mounting is accessible in an anchored state of said at least one rail element. 
     
     
         10 . The domestic appliance apparatus according to  claim 4 , wherein said at least one fixing unit has at least one further fixing element constructed at least substantially differently than said at least one fixing element. 
     
     
         11 . The domestic appliance apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein said at least one fixing unit has a bearing unit supporting said at least one rail element in a movable manner at least substantially parallel to said height direction in at least one pre-assembled state. 
     
     
         12 . A domestic appliance or domestic refrigeration appliance, comprising a domestic appliance apparatus according to  claim 1 . 
     
     
         13 . A method for assembling a domestic appliance apparatus or domestic refrigeration appliance apparatus, the method comprising the following steps:
 providing at least one inner container defining at least one interior with a height direction;   providing at least one rail element for supporting at least one storage element, the at least one rail element being constructed differently than the at least one inner container;   assembling the at least one rail element on at least one fixing unit from a direction of the at least one interior; and   using the at least one fixing unit for fixing the at least one rail element to the at least one inner container.   
     
     
         14 . The method according to  claim 13 , which further comprises providing the at least one fixing unit with at least one fixing element, and fixing the at least one fixing element to the at least one inner container from a direction of a side of the at least one inner container facing away from the at least one interior, prior to the step of assembling the at least one rail element. 
     
     
         15 . The method according to  claim 14 , which further comprises following the step of assembling the at least one fixing element, positioning the at least one inner container in an outer container of the domestic appliance apparatus and filling an interspace between the at least one inner container and the outer container with foam.
