Abstract: A refrigerator cabinet assembly includes a cabinet shell having opposed side walls that are interconnected by a top wall and a shell bottom. Each of the side and top walls of the shell lead to front face portions which are integrally formed with return flanges for use in mounting one or more liners within the cabinet shell in a manner known in the art. In accordance with the preferred embodiment, the shell bottom is spaced rearwardly of the return flanges such that a receiving slot is defined therebetween. The cabinet assembly further includes an integrated, structural reinforcing frame mounted within the cabinet shell by sliding the frame within the receiving slot and securing the frame to the return flanges. After mounting a yoder tube, a mullion bar and the liners within the cabinet shell, a plastic toe plate is attached to the reinforcing frame. The toe plate is provided with side flanges which extend about the side walls of the cabinet shell.

Abstract: A thermal processor in an apparatus for heat development of a fixed photographic image on a photographic film wherein the film includes a latent image formed on an emulsion layer coated on a film base. The apparatus comprises a housing arranged to receive uniformly heated flowing air. Porous members responsive to the air flow are disposed adjacent both surfaces of the film to uniformly distribute the heated air to the surfaces of the film at a predetermined pressure. The porous members are disposed at a spacing from the respective film surfaces such that the pressure of the gas supplied to the film establishes a gas bearing to support the film as it passes through the processor. The spacing is also arranged such that heat is transferred from the processor to the film essentially by heat conduction to develop the fixed photographic image on the film.
