REFRIGERATING APPLIANCE, ESPECIALLY A REFRIGERATOR

摘要

The invention relates to a refrigerating appliance, especially a refrigerator, comprising a plate which consists of photoconductive material and is arranged on said refrigerator, the edge of said plate being provided with an electric light source. The plate has a light output surface on one side and is used as a light guide between the electric light source and the light output surface. The aim of the invention is to produce a refrigerating appliance (2) in which the spatial arrangement of the edge-illuminated plate (10) can be changed. To this end, the plate (10) is embodied in such a way that it can be removed from the refrigerating appliance (4), and the electric light source (24) comprises a first electrical or electromagnetic transmission element (26) which interacts - in the inserted or mounted state of the plate (10) - with a second electrical or electromagnetic transmission element (38) applied to the refrigerating appliance (2), in such a way that electrical current can be transmitted from the second electrical or electromagnetic transmission element (38) to the first electrical or electromagnetic transmission element (26).
