Abstract: The invention relates to a pressure and temperatureresponsive switch particularly adapted for monitoring the condition of an automobile engine cooling system. The switch includes a housing having a cylinder bore in which two free-floating pistons are disposed. The innermost piston adjacent the cooling system of the automobile engages the midpoint of a normally arcuate metal diaphragm member which separates the piston from the cooling system. Above the inner or first piston is an outer or second piston which supports a contact member thereon. The outer end of the housing is closed by a cover member which supports a terminal adapted to be engaged by the contact member to energize a warning signal during periods of engine overheat which will cause the second piston to move towards the cover member. The space between the first and second pistons is filled with a refrigerant such as Freon-22 having a predetermined coefficient of expansion per degree of temperature increase. The space between the second piston and the cover member is filled with a refrigerant such as Freon-12 having a lesser coefficient of expansion than the refrigerant between the pistons. A significant decrease of coolant pressure in the engine will cause the arcuate diaphragm to relax and flatten. Resultantly the innermost piston moves downward against the flattened diaphragm which greatly increases the area of contact therebetween and the rate of heat transfer therebetween. This increase in heat causes the refrigerant between the pistons to expand, thereby forcing the outer piston to move in the housing and to engage the contact and terminal thereby energizing a warning signal indicating an overheat condition of the engine.

Abstract: A refrigerator cabinet having foamed insulation secured to the interior walls thereof and capable of slidably receiving plastic liners of various sizes providing a range of food compartment volumes. The foamed insulation has channel members molded therein for receiving and supporting a divider wall in either horizontal or vertical positions. The plastic liners are formed with a plurality of integral rib members extending from the external surface and terminating in flanges presenting a flat surface for engagement with the insulation. The length of the integral ribs is varied with the size of the food compartment defined by the plastic liner providing rigid support of the liner in the refrigerator cabinet.
