Abstract

A household refrigerator device has at least one closure unit for closing at least one storage space in the direction of an upper side. The closure unit has at least one ventilation recess for at least partial ventilation of the storage space, at least one closure element for closing the ventilation recess and at least one actuating element for actuating the closure element. The actuating element has at least one control for operation by way of a user and at least one actuating part connected to the control and which operatively connects the control to the closure element and which pushes the closure element over the ventilation recess as a function of a movement of the control.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A household refrigerator device, comprising:
 at least one closure unit for closing at least one storage space in a direction of an upper side, said closure unit having at least one ventilation recess formed therein for at least partial ventilation of said storage space, at least one closure element for closing said ventilation recess and at least one actuating element for actuating said closure element, said actuating element having at least one control for operation by way of a user and at least one actuating part connected to said control and which operatively connects said control to said closure element and which pushes said closure element over said ventilation recess in dependence on a movement of said control.   
     
     
         2 . The household refrigerator device according to  claim 1 , wherein said control and said actuating part are latched together. 
     
     
         3 . The household refrigerator device according to  claim 1 , wherein said closure unit has at least one front element through which said control at least partially penetrates. 
     
     
         4 . The household refrigerator device according to  claim 3 , wherein said control and said actuating part are disposed at least partially on different sides of said front element. 
     
     
         5 . The household refrigerator device according to  claim 3 , wherein said actuating part at least essentially prevents a movement of said control relative to said front element in at least one direction. 
     
     
         6 . The household refrigerator device according to  claim 1 , wherein said actuating element is moveably mounted in at least one width direction. 
     
     
         7 . The household refrigerator device according to  claim 1 , wherein said closure element is moveably mounted in at least one depth direction. 
     
     
         8 . The household refrigerator device according to  claim 1 , wherein said closure unit has at least one movement converter unit for converting a movement of said actuating element in at least one width direction into a movement of said closure element in at least one depth direction. 
     
     
         9 . The household refrigerator device according to  claim 8 , wherein said movement converter unit contains at least one sliding block guide which has at least one guide track and at least one sliding block element guided along said guide track. 
     
     
         10 . The household refrigerator device according to  claim 9 , wherein said guide track is disposed on said closure element. 
     
     
         11 . The household refrigerator device according to  claim 9 , wherein said sliding block element is disposed on said actuating element. 
     
     
         12 . The household refrigerator device according to  claim 8 , wherein said movement converter unit is configured at least partially in one piece with said actuating element and/or said closure element. 
     
     
         13 . The household refrigerator device according to  claim 1 , wherein said closure unit has at least one basic body which is at least partially transparent and which has at least one at least essentially non-transparent concealing region which at least partially conceals at least said closure element and/or said actuating part. 
     
     
         14 . A household refrigerator, comprising:
 at least one storage space; and   a household refrigerator device containing at least one closure unit for closing said at least one storage space in a direction of an upper side, said closure unit having at least one ventilation recess formed therein for at least partial ventilation of said storage space, at least one closure element for closing said ventilation recess and at least one actuating element for actuating said closure element, said actuating element having at least one control for operation by way of a user and at least one actuating part connected to said control and which operatively connects said control to said closure element and which pushes said closure element over said ventilation recess in dependence on a movement of said control.   
     
     
         15 . A method for assembling at least one household refrigerator device, which comprises the steps of:
 providing at least one closure unit for closing at least one storage space in a direction of an upper side;   forming at least one ventilation recess in the closure unit for at least partial ventilation of the storage space;   providing the closure unit with at least one closure element for closing the ventilation recess; and   providing the closure unit with at least one actuating element for actuating the closure element, the actuating element having at least one control for operation by way of a user and at least one actuating part connected to the control and which is provided for operative connection of the control to the closure element, wherein the actuating part is connected to the control.
