Abstract
A household refrigeration appliance has a housing in which at least one receiving area for food is implemented. At least one roller is arranged on the housing and by which the household refrigeration appliance can be rolled on an underlying surface. The roller is arranged rotatably mounted on a plate-like, separate bearing bracket and a roller assembly containing the roller and the bearing bracket is arranged non-destructively releasably on a base of the housing.
Claims16
A household refrigeration appliance, comprising:
- a housing defining at least one receiving area for food and having a base, said base having an edge strip and a backing part;
- and
- a roller assembly being attached to said base, said roller assembly having a plate-shaped, separate bearing bracket and at least one roller disposed on said housing, said roller for rolling the household refrigeration appliance on an underlying surface, said roller being disposed rotatably mounted on said plate-shaped, separate bearing bracket and said roller assembly containing said roller and said plate-shaped, separate bearing bracket disposed non-destructively releasably on said base of said housing, said edge strip being disposed between said plate-shaped, separate bearing bracket and said backing part.
A method for producing a household refrigeration appliance, which comprises the steps of:
- installing a roller assembly non-destructively releasably on a base of a housing, the roller assembly having a plate-shaped, separate bearing bracket and at least one roller disposed on the housing, the roller being rotatably mounted by the bearing bracket for rolling the household refrigeration appliance on an underlying surface, the plate-shaped, separate bearing bracket having hooks, the housing defining at least one receiving area for food, the housing having an inner container and an outer casing defining an interspace therebetween;
- forming lead-throughs in the base and passing the hooks through the lead-throughs and suspending the roller assembly on the base;
- providing a roller cover disposed on the base of the housing, the roller cover completely covering the roller toward an interior of the housing;
- and
- subsequently filling an interspace between the base of the housing and an inner container, which delimits the receiving area with walls of the inner container, at least partially with a thermally insulating material being an insulating foam, defining a boundary with the roller cover toward the insulation foam for preventing the insulation foam from reaching the roller.
