Abstract: A refrigeration apparatus (10) is configured to be shipped in generally flat boxes and assembled near a location of use. A plurality of enclosure panels (12) bound an interior area (15). A cover panel (18) including a door (22) closes a top of the interior area. A platform panel (30) including an evaporator (32) closes the interior area at an end opposed of the cover panel. The platform which includes heat transfer components is supported on a base (52) with casters (60) that facilitate the movement of the apparatus.

Abstract: A safe configured for holding valuables (137) includes a safe body (141) which bounds an interior area (270). The safe body is comprised of a plurality of engageable panels. A door (272) is releasable engageable with the body. The door includes a lock (284) that is changeable between locked and unlocked conditions.

Abstract: A refrigerator (10) includes a housing (12) having an opening (14). A cabinet (36) is movable to extend in closing relation with the opening and to be disposed away from the opening. A door (46) including a transparent panel (50) is movable to close both a cabinet opening (42) and the housing opening (14). Items stored in the cabinet area are viewable through the door with the door in a cabinet closed position. The door is movable to enable access to items stored in the cabinet. The cabinet is movable to access items in a storage area normally behind the cabinet.

Abstract: The exemplary apparatus includes an appliance that combines the functions of a compact refrigerator, microwave oven and safe for use in facilities such as hotels and dormitories. Power is supplied through power control circuitry which avoids undesirable power conditions. The safe portion includes safe circuitry which includes an alarm enunciator which provides an audible alarm in the event of detection of a safe tamper condition. A removable encasement within a refrigerator body provides vibration isolation to minimize vibration of the refrigerator portion and connected items. An insulating sleeve extends in surrounding relation of refrigerator walls to reduce heat infiltration therein.
