Abstract
A refrigeration appliance, in particular a domestic refrigeration appliance, includes a storage chamber which can be cooled to below 0° C. A water supply feeding into the storage chamber is formed by a resiliently expandable pipeline, at least inside the storage chamber.
Claims12
A refrigeration appliance or domestic refrigeration appliance, comprising:
- a storage chamber to be cooled to below 0° C.;
- and
- a water supply feeding into said storage chamber, said water supply being formed by a resiliently expandable pipeline, at least inside said storage chamber, said resiliently expandable pipeline having a length, and a sleeve surrounding at least a part of said length of said resiliently expandable pipeline, said resiliently expandable pipeline having a resiliency limit, and said sleeve being dimensioned for inhibiting an expansion of said resiliently expandable pipeline beyond said resiliency limit, said sleeve and said resiliently expandable pipeline being formed in one piece;
- and
- at least one web interconnecting said sleeve and said resiliently expandable pipeline.
