Abstract: The present invention relates to a refrigerator comprising a cabinet having at least one partition wall to separate at least two sub-compartments and an elongated support device having a C-shaped cross section mounted to the cabinet wall and into which a partition wall can be inserted.

Abstract: A built-in refrigerator includes a water and drinks dispenser, or an ice maker, placed on the outside of the refrigerator door. The refrigerator is installed in a modular kitchen furniture unit provided with a door panel. A sliding connection between the dispenser and the door panel of the furniture unit allows the simultaneous opening and closing of the door and the door panel and, when the door is in the closed position, prevents residual liquids or solids from falling into the air space existing between the door and the door panel.

Abstract: A method for producing appliance cabinets and the like, particularly a refrigerator cabinet having a double wall, whereby a polymeric sheet made plastic by thermal action is vacuum formed in a mold. The mold comprises a central male portion adapted to form the cavity of the cabinet and an annular female portion adapted to form the double wall of the cabinet, a plug assist device being used in order to drive the sheet in the female portion of the mold.

Abstract: A method for the production of expanded polymeric materials; in particular for producing thermally insulating materials used in refrigerators. The method comprising the steps of providing a mixture of reagents based on isocyanate and polyol with the addition of expandable polystyrene-based microspheres, in which method the ratio by weight between the reagents and the expandable microspheres is between, about 7:1 and about 1:2.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a refrigerator to be built into surrounding cabinetry having a body having a cavity for food preservation, at least two thin side panels, a thin top panel, and at least one thin front panel. The side panels, top panel, and front panel have a finish that matches the surrounding cabinetry and are removably mounted to the body, thereby maintaining the original volume and structural stiffness of the refrigerator.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a floor standing treatment device that has a front panel and a mainframe assembly adapted to be removably attachable to the front panel. The mainframe assembly has an integrally molded latching mechanism having a latch and one or more L shaped guides configured to cooperate with one or more pairs stops for limiting lateral movement of the latch. The latch is adapted to engage a portion of the front panel for securely attaching the front panel to the mainframe assembly. The air purifier may also have a cavity positioned along a bottom edge of a back housing to house an electrical cord provided with the air purifier. Additionally, the air purifier may also have an elongated slot positioned at the apex of the mainframe assembly for allowing one or two handed carrying of the air purifier.
