Abstract: A method of forming an insulated cabinet wall structure wherein a body of insulation is foamed in situ against an outer face of a liner sheet strip to define a laminate. A plurality of holes are formed in the laminate extending through the liner and into the insulation, and a plurality of supports are installed on the laminate by insertion of a mounting portion thereof in the mounting holes. The laminate with the supports secured thereto is subsequently formed into a preselected cabinet configuration to define a chamber with the supports projecting inwardly from the liner into the chamber. This structure may then be inserted into a formed outer cabinet.

Abstract: A liner and insulation structure for a refrigeration apparatus is particularly adapted for use where the bottom wall of the refrigeration apparatus cabinet defines an irregular, nonflat surface. A separate bottom liner and insulating member is formed so as to overlie the irregular cabinet bottom wall and includes an upstanding wall portion about at least a portion of its periphery. The remainder of the liner and insulation structure for the refrigeration apparatus is formed by variously cutting and folding a laminate which includes an inner sheet liner portion and an outer insulation portion so as to define an upright wall having a lower edge portion which rests on the upstanding wall portion of the bottom liner and insulating member.
