Abstract

A domestic refrigeration appliance with an interior compartment for accommodating foodstuffs which is bounded by walls of an interior container and with a keep-fresh container for foodstuffs in which an ambient humidity different from that of the interior compartment can be set and the ambient humidity can be set independently of the rest of the interior compartment, wherein the keep-fresh container is arranged displaceably in a housing of the domestic refrigeration appliance, wherein a front wall of the keep-fresh container forms an outer wall of the domestic refrigeration appliance.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A domestic refrigeration appliance with an interior compartment for accommodating foodstuffs which is bounded by walls of an interior container and with a keep-fresh container for foodstuffs in which an ambient humidity different from that of the interior compartment can be set and the ambient humidity can be set independently of the rest of the interior compartment, wherein the keep-fresh container is arranged displaceably in a housing of the domestic refrigeration appliance, wherein a front wall of the keep-fresh container forms an outer wall of the domestic refrigeration appliance, wherein the keep-fresh container comprises a carrier tray on which the front wall is arranged, and wherein the carrier tray comprises a side wall on an upper edge of which a setting element for setting the ambient humidity in the keep-fresh container is arranged.

2. The domestic refrigeration appliance as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the keep-fresh container is embodied as a drawer.

3. The domestic refrigeration appliance as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the setting element is a setting wheel.

4. The domestic refrigeration appliance as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the setting element is arranged in a front third of the length of the side wall facing the front wall.

5. The domestic refrigeration appliance according to claim 1 , wherein the setting element extends through an opening in a flange of the side wall forming the upper edge and a setting unit comprising the setting element is arranged under the flange on an outer side of the side wall.

6. The domestic refrigeration appliance according to claim 1 , wherein the keep-fresh container comprises a receiving tray for foodstuffs and a cover separate thereto positioned in a raisable and lowerable manner above the receiving tray.

7. The domestic refrigeration appliance as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a receiving tray embodied separately from the carrier tray can be inserted into and removed from the carrier tray in a non-destructive detachable manner.

8. The domestic refrigeration appliance as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an actuating element for the actuation of a cover is arranged on the upper edge, said element being coupled to a coupling element on the cover.

9. The domestic refrigeration appliance as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the actuating element is a pin that can be displaced in the depth direction of the domestic refrigeration appliance.

10. The domestic refrigeration appliance as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the actuating element is arranged on a setting unit, which is arranged under at least one of a flange on an outer side of the side wall and the actuating element is coupled to the setting element.

11. The domestic refrigeration appliance as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the receiving tray comprises at an upper edge a front-side and a rear side flange with which the receiving tray is suspended from above on a rear wall and a front edge of the carrier tray.

12. The domestic refrigeration appliance according to claim 1 , wherein the keep-fresh container comprises a first keep-fresh container compartment with a first receiving tray and a first cover therefor and a second keep-fresh container compartment with a second receiving tray and second cover therefor, wherein the receiving trays are arranged next to one another in the horizontal direction on a plane in the carrier tray and different ambient humidities can be set in the keep-fresh container compartments and the ambient humidities can be set independently of one another.

13. A domestic refrigeration appliance with an interior compartment for accommodating foodstuffs which is bounded by walls of an interior container and with a keep-fresh container for foodstuffs in which an ambient humidity different from that of the interior compartment can be set and the ambient humidity can be set independently of the rest of the interior compartment, wherein the keep-fresh container is arranged displaceably in a housing of the domestic refrigeration appliance, wherein a front wall of the keep-fresh container forms an outer wall of the domestic refrigeration appliance, wherein the keep-fresh container comprises a carrier tray on which the front wall is arranged, wherein an actuating element for the actuation of a cover is arranged on an upper edge of the carrier tray, said element being coupled to a coupling element on the cover, wherein the cover with upright guide elements is supported on the interior container and is displaceable by the actuating element and, depending upon the displacement position of the actuating element, is raised with respect to the receiving tray or placed thereupon.

14. The domestic refrigeration appliance according to claim 13 , wherein the actuating element is settable between a first position and a second position, wherein when the keep fresh container is closed and the actuating element is in the first position the cover is raised with respect to the receiving tray, and wherein when the keep fresh container is closed and the actuating element is in the second position, the cover is placed upon the receiving tray.

15. The domestic refrigeration appliance according to claim 13 , wherein the cover is supported on a vertical internal side of the interior container.
