Abstract: A pair of cross brace members are diagonally positioned within an internal cavity of a refrigerator door shell that is defined by an outer front panel, side walls and in-turned, return flanges. The cross brace members are generally L-shaped in cross-section and are interengaged at central portions thereof which are specifically configured with respective cut-out connection portions to aid in assembly and positioning of the cross brace members. The cross brace members have tabs at terminal ends thereof which extend above planes defined by generally horizontally extending upper sections of the cross brace members. These tabs are adapted to rest upon respective ones of the return flanges to initially mount the cross brace members within the door shell. Once the cross brace members are appropriately positioned within the door shell, insulation foam is supplied into the internal cavity.

Abstract: A gas clothes dryer comprising a cabinet having a rotatable cylinder therein for receiving the clothes to be dried. A gas burner head produces hot air which is conducted, through an appropriate duct, to the rear of the cylinder. An exhaust fan exhausts the air in the cylinder through the front of the cylinder thereby causing the hot air to flow from the rear to the front of the cylinder across the clothes to be dried. The duct comprises a wall in facing relationship to the rear of the cylinder and having openings therein through which the hot air passes to enter the cylinder. A portion of the duct extends forward and surrounds a portion of the cylinder and is spaced therefrom to define an air passage therebetween. Accordingly, the exhaust fan also causes ambient air to be drawn through the air passage and into the cylinder thereby to decrease air flow about the burner head. As a result, pilot light outage is minimized and, since the burner head operates at decreased air flow, flame burn-out is eliminated.
