Definitions

  • the patent covered by this application for registration relates to a cabinet kit for refrigerator and/or freezer, having a special means whereby its component panels can be assembled and the cabinet can be knocked down for transportation and storage, with the added benefit that it can be enlarged, and worn-out parts can be replaced on- site.
  • Household appliances of the type described above are difficult to handle during shipping, given their size, and the amount of space they take up in cargo vehicles reduces the capacity of such vehicles, thus increasing shipping costs.
  • the cabinet is made up of flat modular panels that can be utilized in more than one model, consisting of inner and outer sheet metal or plastic walls or combinations thereof, injected with an insulating material, such as polyurethane, and folded at the edges to couple with sets of interlocking elements with male or female cross-sections, depending on their position, which slide axially and fit tightly together to prevent cold from escaping, to form corner or coplanar joints as required for assembly.
  • an insulating material such as polyurethane
  • interlocking elements can involve transversely clamping socket joints or, simply, sliding channels fastened in place using screws, rivets or a suitable adhesive.
  • Panels incorporating such design can be classified into two groups: simple wall components and containers for pre- incorporated functional elements, such as control mechanisms, control knobs, exhaust lines or cable conduits, condensation tubes, latches and so on.
  • cabinets can accommodate all the internal add-ons like trays, containers, shelves, door shelves and so on, held in place using conventional means. Doors are attached using hinges fastened to the edges of the compartment opening, the top of the compartment, or, ideally, to a better-reinforced transverse bar supporting frame on the front of the compartment.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a basic refrigerator cabinet.
  • Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view of the cabinet shown in Figure 1.
  • Figure 3 shows a cross-section of the cabinet along plane A, as shown in
  • Figure 4 is a cross-sectional detail of a corner joint.
  • Figure 5 is the same view as in Figure 4, but of a coplanar joint.
  • Figure 6 shows the same joint as shown in Figure 4, but with a different cross- section.
  • Figure 7 shows a coplanar joint with the same cross-section as shown in
  • Figure 8 is the same view as in Figures 4 and 6, but showing a rectangular cross-section.
  • Figure 9 shows a joint with a lengthwise wedge-shaped cross-section.
  • Figure 10 illustrates a basic cabinet expanded vertically.
  • Figure 11 illustrates a basic cabinet expanded horizontally.
  • Figure 1 shows a finished version of a basic cabinet in the shape of a parallelepiped, of which Figure 2 provides an exploded view, showing its side walls 1 and 2, back 3, top 4, door 5 and multi-level floor consisting of two horizontal sections 6 and 7, and one vertical section 8, for housing the motor-driven compressor M on the lower level.
  • a metal shelf P, a container C and the freezer R are also shown.
  • the assembly joints of the panels shown have male 9 and female 10 cross- sections, which slide together axially, tightly enough to prevent cold from escaping.
  • the Figure also shows how the back 3 of the compartment, which is provided with condensation tubes 11 on the outside, locks together with the top 4 of the compartment with the aid of screws 12 and is sealed using the seam 13, since this cannot be a sliding joint.
  • the side wall 2 in this embodiment is representative of the type of panel that contains pre-incorporated functional elements: in this case the control mechanism with its visible control knob 14.
  • Figure 2 shows an option for a hinge B attached to the upper edge of the door 5, on which it pivots.
  • Figure 3 shows the joints of the multi-level floor, which are formed transversely along the secant plane, with the components in place and identified by their references.
  • FIG. 4 shows a corner joint of two panels made up of insulating material 15 injected between the walls 16, with dovetail tenon joint cross-sections forming a single piece with the edges of such walls.
  • the male 9 and female 10 elements of the joint fit tightly together.
  • FIG. 5 which in this case is coplanar, is made in the same way and used to extend panels for the purpose of enlarging the cabinets.
  • Figures 6 and 7 show joint shapes equivalent to the ones shown in Figures 4 and 5, respectively, with triangular cross-sectional joint elements, selected from among many other possible cross-sections.
  • Figure 8 illustrates double rectangular cross-sections that can be withdrawn transversely, for which reason they must be fastened in place using a screw 17 for assembly.
  • Options include, but are not limited to, giving the joint cross-sections a lengthwise wedge shape to increase tightness as the piece moves axially, as shown in Figure 9.
  • Figure 10 illustrates a cabinet 18 that has been expanded upward by section 18'; while Figure 11 illustrates expansion to the side.
