A refrigerator including: a main body forming a storage compartment and a door provided to open and close the storage compartment, wherein the door includes a door frame, a cover arranged in front of the door frame and including a cover fixer, and a door panel arranged in front of the cover, the door panel including a first fixer and a second fixer on a rear surface of the door panel. When the door panel is coupled to a front side of the cover, the first fixer is coupled to the door frame and the second fixer is coupled to the cover.

A standoff feature for an appliance includes a connecting member having a first end and a second end. A first side member extends in a first direction from the first end of the connecting member. A second side member is spaced from the first side member. The second side member extends in the first direction from the second end of the connecting member. A first flange extends from a first side edge of the connecting member. The first side edge extends between the first end and the second end. The first flange extends in a second direction from the connecting member. A second flange extends from a second side edge of the connecting member. The second side edge extends between the first end and the second end and opposes the first side edge. The second flange extends in the second direction from the connecting member.

A method for manufacturing a heat insulation box, wherein said method involves disposing an outer box over the outside of an inner box such that there is space therebetween, covering an opening with an elastic sheet from the outside of the outer box, inserting a jig into the opening from the outside of the outer box to force the elastic sheet into the space between the inner box and the outer box, and injecting the urethane foam heat insulating material into the space between the inner box and the outer box so as to foam therein to form a recess with the elastic sheet tightly adhering to the surface thereof.

A liner hanger includes a body wall, a first hook wall, a second hook wall, a brace wall, and an abutment wall. The body wall includes a first face and a second face. The second face is on an opposite side of the body wall relative to the first face. The first hook wall is mounted to the first face of the body wall to form a first hook channel. The second hook wall is mounted to the second face of the body wall to form a second hook channel. The brace wall includes a first end and a second end. The second end is on an opposite end of the brace wall relative to the first end. The first end is mounted to the first face of the body wall. The abutment wall is mounted to the second end of the brace wall.

The invention relates to a process used to produce open-cell and extremely fine-cell PUR/PIR rigid foams, said process using a polyol formulation comprising a specific isocyanate-reactive component, a catalyst component having zerewitinoff-active hydrogens and a cell-opener component.

A vacuum adiabatic body and a refrigerator are provided. The vacuum adiabatic body includes a support that maintains a vacuum space between a first plate and a second plate. The support includes a first support plate provided by coupling at least two partial plates to support one of the first plate or the second plate, and a second support plate that supports the other one of the first plate or the second plate.

The present invention relates to an electrical household appliance cabin wall assembling structure with increased contact surface. The present invention more particularly relates to an electrical household appliance comprising a cabinet with a plurality of face walls including a top sheet and a rear sheet defining an interior space of said cabinet.

An operable panel for an appliance includes a metallic outer wrapper having a perimetrical wrapper edge that partially defines a perimetrical breaker channel, an inner liner and a plurality of corner brackets disposed proximate the perimetrical wrapper edge. Each corner bracket cooperates with the perimetrical wrapper edge to fully define the perimetrical breaker channel. A trim breaker is adhered to the metallic outer wrapper and the corner brackets at the perimetrical breaker channel and having a liner channel that receives a portion of the inner liner. The trim breaker extends between the inner liner and the outer wrapper. An insulation material is disposed within an insulating cavity defined between the inner liner and the outer wrapper.

A method of fabricating a vacuum insulated refrigerator structure includes positioning a first barrier film in a female mold cavity. Porous filler material is positioned on the barrier film, and a second barrier film is positioned over the porous filler material. A male mold is brought into contact with the second barrier film to deform and compress the porous filler material into a 3D shape. A vacuum is formed between the first and second barrier films, and the first and second peripheral edge portions are sealed together to form a vacuum insulated core. The vacuum insulated core may be positioned between a liner and a wrapper to form an insulated refrigerator cabinet, door, or other vacuum insulated component.

Disclosed are a vacuum insulation panel application device and method. The device comprises a conveying platform for conveying a refrigerator housing, a foaming material spray gun head, a vacuum insulation panel taking and placing mechanism and a press-fitting mechanism for pasting a vacuum insulation panel onto the refrigerator housing, wherein the foaming material spray gun head, the vacuum insulation panel taking and placing mechanism and the press-fitting mechanism are sequentially arranged in the moving direction of the conveying platform; the spray gun head is fixedly arranged beside the conveying platform; and the press-fitting mechanism is provided with rollers for rolling the vacuum insulation panel.
