Patent ID: 7886559

Claim:
A modular refrigerator having a first planar thermally insulated element, a second planar thermally insulated element and further planar thermally insulated elements which can be connected to each other and can be detached from each other again and, when connected, form a housing of the refrigerator having an internal volume, a refrigerant circuit which comprises 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, to which the two electrical lines can be electrically connected, wherein 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 so that the contact device automatically contacts the electrical counter-contact device electrically during the mechanical connection of the first and the second planar elements, a rear wall of the refrigerator and a top wall of the refrigerator are different ones of the planar thermally insulated elements, and the first planar thermally insulated element and the second planar thermally insulated element at least partially define the internal volume.
