Drainage assembly

A drainage assembly for an insulated structure includes a flexible body that has a plurality of flexures and defines an opening and notches that extend radially from the opening. A first drainage tube extends through the opening and includes receiving flanges disposed within the notches defined by the flexible body. A second drainage tube is in fluid communication with the first drainage tube. The second drainage tube includes engagement flanges disposed within the receiving flanges of the first drainage tube.

Gaskets and a method for making the same

A gasket may include a tubular section which has a protection layer and a mesh layer. The protection layer may form a first tube, and the mesh layer may form a second tube, which may be enclosed in the first tube. The mesh layer may be formed by a metal wire in a spiral fashion extending along an axial direction of the second tube. The mesh layer may provide an elastic support to the protection layer when the protection layer tube is pressed by an external force.

Water routing from cabinet to door of a refrigerator with articulated hinge

A refrigerator comprising: a cabinet; a door operably connected to the cabinet, the door having a closed position relative to the cabinet and an opened position relative to the cabinet, and the door transitions from the closed position to the opened position in a non-circular path; a liquid outlet disposed at the cabinet; and a liquid receiver disposed at the door, the liquid receiver configured to receive liquid exiting the liquid outlet when the door is in the closed position but not in the opened position. The refrigerator can further include a gasket adjacent to the liquid receiver and a gasket adjacent to the liquid outlet. When the door is in the closed position, the gasket of the door can cooperate with the gasket of the cabinet to form a sealed channel to seal liquid transfer from the liquid outlet to the liquid receiver for use at the door.
