Abstract: The present invention discloses a sealing system for a refrigerator and, more particularly, a sealing system located between the doors of a refrigerator and its acclimatized chambers and of the kind that comprises a gasket to be inserted in a receiving channel existing also between the doors of a refrigerator and its acclimatized chambers. The sealing system for refrigerator herein reported consists of at least one gasket comprising a tubular body formed by at least one attaching end and by at least one sealing body; at least one groove defined in at least one movable door or at least one fixed cabinet; and by at least one rib defined in at least one movable door or at least one fixed cabinet.

Abstract: A refrigerator includes a vacuum insulated cabinet structure having side walls that are formed from a tube that has been folded/deformed into a structure having an “O” shape with vertically enlarged front and rear openings. The interior of the tube may be filled with silica powder or other filler, and a vacuum is formed within the tube. An insulated rear panel may be utilized to close off the rear opening of the vacuum insulated cabinet structure.

Abstract: A vacuum insulated cabinet structure includes panels having sheet metal outer side walls and polymer inner side walls. The polymer inner side walls are heat-sealed to a layer of polymer material laminated to a flat sheet metal blank to form vacuum cavities. The blank is then bent along fold lines to form a cabinet structure.

Abstract: A mechanism, and refrigeration appliance containing a mechanism, for providing displacement of a shelf of a refrigeration appliance, which has at least one refrigeratable cabinet with a base and two side walls substantially perpendicular to the base. The mechanism has at least one supporting device associated to the side wall of the refrigeratable cabinet by a side bar having a longitudinal portion that is substantially parallel to the base. The association between the supporting device and the side bar is able to provide mechanical support to the shelf. The mechanism also comprises a pivoting arm provided with at least one first end which is connected articulatedly to the shelf and a second end connected articulatedly to the supporting device, which associates the shelf to the supporting device. The pivoting arm is able to move angularly so as to allow the displacement of the shelf in relation to the supporting device.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a system that is able to provide movement over three stable stages of a set of shelves of a refrigeration appliance. The said refrigeration appliance comprises at least one refrigeratable cabinet. The said set of shelves comprises at least one front shelf and one rear shelf associable to each other. The said set of shelves is associated to the refrigeratable cabinet by means of at least one side bar provided with a first accommodating portion and a second accommodating portion that are substantially flat. The front shelf is supportable by the first accommodating portion and the rear shelf is supportable by the second accommodating portion. The first accommodating portion has a difference in height in relation to the second accommodating portion as to allow an horizontally aligned juxtaposition between the front shelf and the rear shelf.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a mechanism that is able to provide a displacement of a shelf (5) of a refrigeration appliance (1). The said refrigeration appliance (1) comprises at least one refrigeratable cabinet (2) provided with a base (3) and two side walls (4) that are substantially perpendicular to the base (3). The side walls (4) are substancitantially parallel and opposite to each other. The shelf (5) is disposed substantially parallel to the base (3). The mechanism comprises at least one supporting device (6) associated to the side wall (4) of the refrigeratable cabinet (2) by means of a side bar (8). The side bar (8) has a longitudinal portion (9) that is substantially parallel to the base (3), wherein the association between the supporting device (6) and the side bar (8) is able to provide mechanical support to the shelf (5). The mechanism also comprises a pivoting arm (10) which associates the shelf (5) to the supporting device (6).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a sealing system for refrigerator door and, more specifically, to a sealing system of the kind that comprises a gasket to be inserted in a receiving channel (60) disposed in the refrigerator door. The sealing gasket of the present invention comprises an attachment part (40) joined to the sealing bag (50), the attachment part (40) comprising an end portion (41) having a substantially triangular profile and a body portion (42) having a W-shaped cross section with bulged walls (45, 46). The end portion (41) is formed by two flaps (43, 44) symmetrically opposed, each of the flaps (43, 44) forming an angle with each of the bulged walls.
