Patent attributes
A modular refrigerator, having a first planar thermally-insulated element, a second planar thermally-insulated element and further planar thermally-insulated elements, connected together and which can be subsequently detached, forming a housing of the refrigerator when assembled, a refrigerant circuit, with an evaporator, a condenser and a compressor, a first electrical line, arranged in the first planar element, a second electrical line, arranged in the second planar thermally-insulated element and an electrical contact/counter-contact device, by means of which both electrical lines may be electrically connected. The contact device is integrated in the first planar thermally-insulated element and the counter-contact device is integrated in the second planar thermally-insulated element such that contact device is automatically electrically connected to the electrical counter-contact during the mechanical connection of the first and second planar element.
