Abstract: A refreshment center having a modular construction and including a mini door and a frame is described. The mini door is fabricated and assembled separate from the frame, and the mini door includes a hinge system and a trigger. The mini door provides quick and convenient access to the refreshment center by being simple and easy to open and close. The frame, in an exemplary embodiment, is a one piece plastic molded part which serves as the main structural member of the assembly. The frame includes first and second spaced apart planar members, and further includes a keeper slot and a keeper for being inserted within the slot. The keeper extends from the slot and at least partially through a keeper slot in the door trim. The frame further includes a switch cavity for housing at least a portion of a switch assembly. A switch bracket is provided to be secured over the switch cavity and is engaged to the frame by a screw.

Abstract: A refrigerator door has an outer member formed from a folded sheet of steel, with a front panel and a perpendicularly projecting flange forming a cavity. A reinforcing member of thin sheet steel has a front panel, smaller than the outer member front panel, with a perpendicularly projecting flange. The reinforcing member is positioned in the cavity. A body of insulation foamed-in-place in the cavity secures the reinforcing member within the cavity in spaced apart relationship with the outer member.

Abstract: A refrigerator door is formed of a unitary sheet of pre-painted metal. The door has a front wall with top, bottom and side walls projecting from its edges. The top and bottom walls have indented portions adjacent each of their ends. The ends of the side walls have inwardly projecting tabs which overlap the indented portions of the top and bottom walls. The tabs and indented portions are secured together by mechanical interlocks, such as toggle locks.

Abstract: A refrigerator has a cabinet with an outer case and an inner liner. The liner forms a storage compartment with an access opening. A cabinet face portion surrounds the opening and a door selectively closes the compartment. The door includes a flange which overlaps the face portion and a gasket mounted on the flange engages face portion. The gasket is an elongated body of a co-extruded material and includes a base wall of a rigid material mounted on the door frame, a contact wall spaced from the base wall for sealing engagement with the face portion and a pair of side walls connecting the base and contact walls to form a hollow interior. The contact wall includes a pair of spaced apart elongated strips of more rigid material connected by an elongated strip of less rigid material. The less rigid strip has an elongated outward projecting bow shape. The side walls are indented in a "V" shape and the apex of the V has a reduced thickness.
