Abstract: Novel sorption cooling devices capable of providing cooling over an extended period of time are disclosed. The sorption cooling devices are particularly useful for temperature-controlled shipping containers that are required to maintain a temperature below ambient for a time sufficient to complete delivery of the container and its contents. The shipping containers can be utilized to cost-effectively transport temperature-sensitive products.

Abstract: A portable soft sided insulated container has an impermeable liner that provides a liquid holding barrier. The liner is folded from a single monolithic plastic sheet to reduce or eliminate the need for heat welded seams. The liner seats within the container and has a releasable attachment around its lip for mating with the rim of the container. The container has an insulated lid so that the entire assembly may be closed. The liner can be removed for cleaning, or replacement if punctured. When not in use the entire assembly can be folded into a collapsed position for storage. The container has two storage chambers that share a common insulated dividing wall.

Abstract: A shelf mounting support includes an annular flange portion having a side surface from which projects a cavity defining body portion. The mounting support is adapted to extend through an aperture formed in a liner of an appliance with the body portion of the mounting support being inserted in a respective aperture from an outer insulation zone side of the liner. Each mounting support is held in the aperture through the use of one or more retainer elements in the form of an adhesive element or flexible grip members. Thereafter, the liner is positioned within an outer shell of the appliance and foamed insulation is then injected into the insulation zone and into the internal cavity of the mounting support to anchor the mounting support in position.

Abstract: A refrigerator door has reinforcing corner brackets that structurally complete the corners of the door. The corner brackets are located at the door corners adjacent vertical and horizontal side walls of the outer door skin of the door. At least one reinforcing member such as a sheet or rectangular collar, for example, or preferably reinforcing cross brace members are connected to the corner brackets. To achieve this connection and restrict heat transfer through the door and or adjacent the inner liner or in-turned flange of the outer door skin, the corner brackets have connecting tab portions that extend into the cavity of the door away from one of the side walls of the door and spaced from the other side wall of the door. The connecting tab portion is also spaced from the outer skin sheet and the inner door liner. As a result, the reinforcing member or members extend substantially across the width of the door spaced from the outer door skin wall and the inner door liner and are connected to the connecting bracket which is connected in heat transfer relation with side walls, horizontal or vertical, of the door. This reduces heat losses from the refrigerator cabinet conducted through the reinforcing member or members of the door.

Abstract: Thermal breakers and door seal arrangements for refrigerators and the like are described that provide a floating magnet within the breaker. The floating magnet is capable of lateral movement within a compartment in the breaker. In the case of a misaligned refrigerator or freezer door, the floating magnet will adjust its position within the breaker compartment to become properly aligned with the magnetic elements in the door gasket. Magnetic attraction will assist this adjustment in the breaker magnet. The floating magnet is asymmetrical so that it cannot be inadvertently installed in a reversed position. The breaker assembly provides a plastic extrusion that retains the floating magnet and a post condenser loop element in contact with the outward-facing wall of the breaker. The post condenser loop circulates heated condenser fluid from the refrigeration mechanism along the outward-facing wall of the breaker, thereby helping to evaporate excess condensation and reducing or eliminating “sweating” on the breaker. The extrusion is a single molded piece that engages the breaker assembly in a snap-fit manner.

Abstract translation: 描述了在断路器内提供浮动磁体的用于冰箱等的热断路器和门密封装置。 浮动磁体能够在断路器的隔室内横向运动。 在不对准的冰箱或冷冻门的情况下，浮动磁体将调整其在断路器室内的位置，以便与门垫圈中的磁性元件正确对准。 磁吸力将有助于在断路器磁体中进行这种调整。 浮动磁体是不对称的，因此它不能无意中安装在相反的位置。 断路器组件提供塑料挤出物，其保持浮动磁体和后冷凝器环形元件与断路器的向外壁接触。 后冷凝器回路沿着断路器的面向外壁的冷冻机构循环加热的冷凝器流体，从而有助于蒸发多余的冷凝物，并减少或消除断路器上的“出汗”。 挤压件是以卡扣方式接合断路器组件的单个模制件。
