Claims. (Cl. 312-214) ABS TR A CT 0F DISCLOSURE Refrigerator cabinet structure having foamed-in-place thermal insulation, and in'which an inner plasticliner has outwardly-directed peripheral flanges on its open face which serve as.=integral. breaker strips, the flanges overlapping, .in .-forwar.dly-spaced relation, inwardly-directed flanges on the outer metalshell front face, the lapping space receiving a resilient seal which compresses and effects a seal against foam leakage generally proportional to the pressure developed by the foam insulation during the foaming step.- r
Background of the invention 1 Field of'the inventiOn.-'-The invention pertains to'the art of refrigerator cabinet structure of the type having foamed-inplace thermal insulation. i 4
Description of the prior art.
" Most of the currently marketed refrigerator cabinets are built with-an inner food liner nested in an outer metallicl shell, both having forwardly open faces, with the gap between the forward edges of the liner and shell being closed by a series of separate thermal breaker-strips. The breaker strips, typically of a plastic material to pr'ovide a relatively low rate of thermal conductivity; hide the rawedges of the liner and, shell. Considerable difliculty has'been experienced with leakage of the foam through the various joints when the material is'foa'rned-in place, which is the currently preferred mode of fabricating these cabinets.
' Summaly'of the invention The gist of this invention is to provide a refrigerator cabinet construction in which the liner and ,shell are provided with integral flange means, positioned relative to each other and'resilient sealing means between the flanges, so thatthe degree of sealingagainst 'foam leakage is related to the pressure developed by thefoarn operating against the flange and sealing sti-uctureJThis is obtained through lapping outwardly-directed flanges on the front face of the liner over inwardly-directed flanges on the front face of the shell, with the space between the lapping flanges receiving a resilient sealing strip, which is initially compressed to a degree by the foaming fixtures as applied. Then, as foam pressure develops in the flange area pressing the shell flange towards the lapping liner flange, the sealing strip is correspondingly compressed to effect a tighter seal. Since separate breaker strips are not used, all such joints are avoided.
The position of the integral flanges on the liner and shell and the sealing arrangement according to the invention also lends itself to a multi-compartment structure in which the insulated wall space for the freezer compartment may be thicker than that of the refrigerator compartment without the introduction of the additional joints typically encountered with a separate breaker strip sys tem.
Drawing description FIGURE 1 is a front elevational view of a refrigerator cabinet embodying the invention;
FIG. 2 is a broken horizontal section corresponding to one taken along the offset cutting plane 11-11 of FIG. 1; and
, FIG. 3 is an enlarged horizontal section of a front vertical edge of the freezer compartment,'this front edge being representative of all'the other front edges of the cabinet 2 Description of the preferred embodiment In FIGURE 1 the frontface of the refrigerator cabinet presentedwheri the door (not shown) is opened is shown. The illustrated cabinet has an upper freezer compartment 10 and a lower refrigerator compartment 12 separated by a horizontal insulated mullion 14 which may be separate or integrally molded with the liner. The freezer and refrigerator spaces 10 and 12 are generally define-d by a plastic inner liner having the general shape of a rectangular box open on the front face. The liner is nested within the outer, generally rectangular, box-shaped outer shell. The hollow spaces defined between the facing walls of the liner and shell are subsequently filled with thermal insulating material.
The walls of the freezer compartment 10 are numerically identified as top wall 16, opposite side walls 18, rear wall 20, and the mullion top wall '22. The walls of the refrigerator compartment are numerically identified as opposite sidewalls 24, rear wall 26, bottom wall 28 and the mullion bottom wall 30. The outer shell walls are numerically identified as opposite sidewalls 32, top wall 34 and rear wall 36 (FIG. 2). As shown, the liner is formed so that the freezer compartment 10 is narrower than the refrigerator compartment 12 and the hollow walls about the freezer compartment can accommodate more thermal insulation than the hollow wall space about the refrigerator compartment.
In accordance with the invention, the front edges of the liner and shell are specially formed to provide cooperating flange structure which, with the sealing means, prevents the leakage of foamed-in-place thermal insulation. To that end, the inner lineris provided with outwardly-directed flange means peripherally framing the front open face of the liner. The flange structure of the liner associated with the freezer compartment includes the opposite side flanges 38, and the top flange 40. The liner flanges associated with the refrigerator compartment at its sides include the narrower flanges 42 on opposite sides, and the bottom flange 44. Each of the liner front flanges is integral with the adjacent compartment defining wall of the liner so that in the final-construction these front flanges of the liner serve as breaker strips in the sense that no separate breaker strips are required.
The flange structure peripherally defining the open front face of the outer shell is formed, as best seen in FIGS. 2 and 3, to include a reversely-directed leg 46, and an inwardly-directed leg 48 along both sides and the top and bottom. These legs 46 and 48 together define a substantially right angle inset corner which is forwardly and inwardly open.
The shell and liner are sized so that when the liner is nested within the shell with the proper spacing between the rear wall of the shell and liner, a narrow space is provided between the lapping members. FIG. 3 shows this narrow space 50 defined between liner flange 38 and shell leg 48 along a vertical edge of the freezer compartment. A similar lapping gap is defined between each of the other liner flanges and facing shell legs at the other side and top and bottom of the cabinet.
The lapping space 50 accommodates the resilient sealing means which preferably takes the form of a strip 52 provided with one or more lengthwise extending hollow cores 54 in the strip. The exterior of the sealing member which engages either or both of the shell legs 48 or liner flanges 38 may be provided with a series of ridges 56 transverse to the direction of leakage flow. The strip is shown in substantially uncompressed form in FIG. 3 to better illustrate its structure. In addition to sealing, the strip also prevents facing contact between the legs and flanges to provide an additional thermal break.
After the inner liner has been nested in the outer shell with the seal 52 in place, between the forwardly lapping liner flange and the rearwardly lapping inwardly-directed leg of the shell, the thermal insulation 58 is foamed-inplace in the hollow wall space between the liner and shell walls. It will be understood that during the foaming and curing process the shell and liner are backed up by foaming fixtures which abut substantially all of the exposed faces of the liner and shell to prevent their deformation. The thermal insulation foams and expands to fill all of the available space between the walls, and accordingly develops substantial pressures during this process. As the foam pressure develops, the foam presses against the flange structure. Since the front face of the flange 38 is backed up, the developing pressure pushing the leg 48 toward the flange 38 results in the sealing member 52 being squeezed to provide a tighter seal. Accordingly, to the extent that foam would tend to leak in accordance with the pressure developed, this same pressure tends to tighten the seal.
It is desirable that the gap between the outer edge of the liner flange, and the face of the rearwardly directed leg of the shell be closed for the purpose of appearance. A trim gasket 60 with the cross-sectional shape shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, for example, and integrally formed with the seal member 52 may conveniently be used so that placement may be accomplished in a single step. The exemplary trim gasket there shown has a flexible section 62 integrally connecting the seal 52 to the winged portion of the gasket engaging the leg 46 and flange 38. Of course it will be appreciated that the seal and trim gasket may, in other forms, be separate members. Further the gasket may vary considerably in shape and in its means for being secured to cover the gap between liner flange and the shell legs. I
The invention is applicable to refrigerator and freezer cabinets taking various forms, irrespective of whether they are provided with separate freezer and refrigerator compartments. The representative version of FIG. 1, in which the hollow wall spaces about the freezer compartment are greater than about the refrigerator compartment, is selected because the invention lends itself admirably to this sort of structure, which normally would complicate the breaker strip system.
I claim as my invention:
