Definitions

  • the invention relates to an assembly comprising a refrigerator cabinet or the like, having an opening presenting a metal door frame and a door hinged thereto for closing said opening, peripheral sealing means for sealing between the peripheral margin of said door and said door frame and connected to one of them so as to effect face-to-face sealing contact with the other, said sealing means comprising a plurality of lengths of sealing strip each length having an end face, perpendicular to the longitudinal direction thereof with the lengths being disposed so that their end faces are spaced from each other and connecting pieces for bridging between the spaced end faces and connecting said lengths of sealing strip in end-to-end relation to form a circumscribing seal between the door frame and the door, each length of sealing strip being hollow and of flexible material having an inner wall, an outer wall and opposite side walls defining a hollow space, said outer wall being longitudinally recessed to present outwardly projecting, U-shaped edges along the opposite sides of the recess, a magnetic strip received in and secured within the recess of each length of sealing strip, each magnetic
  • Such an assembly as disclosed in US-A-3.114.243 serves to seal off the abovementioned opening tightly after the closing of the movable part, even if the size of the aperture varies as a result of surface unevenness. In the case where a magnetic body is used, this will attach itself firmly to the edge section of the piece of furniture, the flexible profile assuring freedom of movement.
  • the drawback with known frameworks is that they have to be made to size in advance, the dimensions depending on the size of the door.
  • each magnetic strip has an operative face recessed below such opposite side edges whereby the operating face of each magnetic strip is free to flex its associated length of sealing strip and press the outwardly projecting edges thereof against the member to which it is not secured when the door is closed and the magnetic strips are attracted to the metal of the member to which it is not secured
  • said connecting pieces present connecting end faces having the same shape and area as the spaced end faces and disposed in abutting relation to the spaced end faces of adjacent lengths of sealing strip, each connecting piece having an outer wall provided with a recess routed to align with the recesses of said adjacent lengths of sealing strip and each connecting piece also having a separate magnetic strip secured within such recess to effect a continuation between the magnetic strips of such adjacent lengths of sealing strip, and wherein a connecting element is fitted within opposite ends of each connecting piece and projecting therefrom to receive the corresponding ends of the adjacent lengths of sealing strip.
  • the connecting piece is of a form corresponding to that of the profile of the draught excluder strip. This guarantees uniform deforming upon opening and closing.
  • the connecting piece can have various shapes, in order for example to connect two aligned lengths of profile.
  • the preferred design shape is, however, L-shaped, in which case the connecting piece can serve as corner piece for the framework.
  • the connecting piece according to the invention is provided with a joint fastener which is inserted into the hollow strip. This results in an accurate joint as well as uniform deforming with the adjoining draught excluder profile.
  • the reference number 1 in the drawing indicates the fixed part of the refrigerator and the reference number 2 indicates the door section which moves relative to it.
  • the doorframe edge 3 is fitted with a draught excluder profile 4, which falls into position against the frame edging 5 of the fixed unit.
  • the draught excluder strip 4 is illustrated in detail in figure 2. It consists here of a hollow profile 6, the back-side having a bended flanged section 7 which can be attached to the door section 2 by means of a clamp strip 8.
  • the hollow profile is recessed on the side away from the flange 7. In this recess a magnetic body 10 is embedded and fastened.
  • the curved projecting edges of the profile 4 provide a double connection with the frame edging 5 of the fixed part.
  • the bended projecting edges also ensure freedom of movement for the magnetic body 10 in the direction of the frame edging 5 of the fixed part when the door section 2 is slammed shut.
  • the invention concerns a connecting piece for the joining of two lengths of draught excluder strip, 4 and 4'.
  • a corner piece 11 is illustrated which shows in cross section a profile which lies flush with the draught excluder strip 4, in such a way that the bent projecting edges of the draught excluder strips 4 and 4' fit flush with each other in the corner piece 11.
  • An L-shaped magnetic body 12 is also embedded in the recessed front facing.
  • the corner piece is provided with connecting elements mounted at the sides 13 which join up with the end facings of the draught excluder strips 4 and 4'.
  • the connecting elements consist of a profile section which fits into the hollow profile in such a way as to obtain a uniform joint.
  • the corner piece can also be fixed in place using a flange 15 the same as the flange 7 and by means of securing strips 8.
  • the corner piece 11 can be shaped as a straight connecting piece, so that the connecting elements 14 align, such that the aligned draught excluder strips 4 and 4' can be joined.
