  • Patent number: 12529509
    Abstract: A gasket for a door of a refrigerated cabinet has a bellows chamber extending backward from a base connected to a door. A magnet chamber is supported on the bellows chamber, and a cantilevered arm extends from the inner side of the magnet chamber. The cantilevered arm includes a proximal middle chamber, a distal sealing bulb chamber, and a partition wall between the middle chamber and the sealing bulb chamber. A condensation shield is outward of an outer bellows chamber wall and extends from the base to the magnet chamber. An inner support chamber is received between the bellows chamber and a profiled section of the door. A wiper extends forward from the inner support chamber. The sealing bulb chamber is configured to be pressed backward against the wiper such that the gasket defines a supplemental chamber when the door is closed.

  • Publication number: 20250198200
    Abstract: In a locking assembly for a lockable cabinet system, a base supports an electronic lock for locking and unlocking the cabinet. The electronic lock may be releasably attachable to the base at a plurality of spaced apart positions. A one-piece release bar can be connected to an override toggle of the electronic lock. First and second electronic lock override devices may be connected to the release bar for independently overriding electronic actuation of the lock. The electronic lock may be supported on the base such that the electronic lock is separated from the wall of the cavity or the base by a gap. An externally adjustable cam lock can be provided to selectively override the electronic lock. Such cam lock can further inhibit removal of a cover of the locking assembly when locked and allow removal of the cover when unlocked, thereby providing tamper-resistance.

  • Publication number: 20240271856
    Abstract: A self-contained reach-in refrigerator has self-contained refrigeration system connected to a cabinet. A drain pan is below an evaporator of the refrigeration system. A thermally conductive bridge member provides thermal conduction between a defrost heater and the drain pan. An upper wall defining a top end of a product space in the cabinet can include a drain pan section below the evaporator, a fan section extending forward from the drain pan section, and a rear lip extending upward from a rear end of the drain pan section. The evaporator fan can be supported over the fan section to draw air from the product space through the fan section. A support member can be fastened to the rear lip to support the upper wall.

  • Publication number: 20240219107
    Abstract: A refrigerated cabinet is equipped with a thermal breaker between the cabinet liner and wrapper. The cabinet can operate at the ?10° F. (?23° C.) set point in ambient conditions of at least 90° F. (32° C.) and at least 70% relative humidity without door frame condensation. A cabinet door gasket can have an inner sealing element that seals against the thermal breaker and an outer sealing element that seals seal against the wrapper. The wrapper can have a double return flange nested in an outer interface of the thermal breaker. The thermal breaker can hold a door frame heater inboard of a magnetic contact region with the door gasket. The frame heater can be located so that only plastic material is directly in front of the frame heater. Corner joiner elements can be ultrasonically welded to the thermal breaker to join four thermal breaker pieces together at mitered joints.
