Claim:
A refrigeration appliance, comprising: a housing; a first support profile and a second support profile disposed opposite one another and fixed to the housing, wherein the first and second support profiles each comprise a toothed profile comprising cutouts; a height-adjustable shelf received in the housing for refrigerated goods, said shelf having a first rotatably drivable screw in engagement with the cutouts of the toothed profile of the first support profile and a second rotatably drivable screw in engagement with the cutouts of the toothed profile of the second support profile such that a storage surface of the shelf is held at least approximately in a horizontal orientation, and wherein the toothed profiles of the first and second support profiles are disposed adjacent to an edge of the shelf; at least one guide formed on each of the first support profile and the second support profile to support the shelf during adjustment of the shelf, wherein the guide has two mutually opposing surfaces; a pivot lever extending forward below the shelf and having a length such that a front most tip of the pivot lever projects beyond a front edge of the shelf in any position the pivot lever assumes, wherein the pivot lever is coupled to the first and second rotatably drivable screws for driving the first and second rotatably drivable screws; and two rollers respectively resting on the two surfaces, wherein the two rollers are offset from one another as to height and are offset from one another as to their vertical centerlines such that the two rollers do not substantially overlap one another when viewed from a vertical direction and wherein the two rollers are substantially aligned in the horizontal direction when viewed from a top down perspective.
