A vehicle includes a body having an uninterrupted side aperture that provides access to an interior passenger cabin. A front door is hingedly attached at a forward edge of the uninterrupted side aperture. The front door is selectively operable between front open and front closed positions. A rear door is hingedly attached at a rearward edge of the uninterrupted side aperture. The rear door is selectively operable between rear open and rear closed positions. A latching assembly is at least partially positioned within the body and configured to receive the front door in the front closed position and the rear door in the rear closed position. A sealing assembly is defined between a forward seal of the rear door and a rearward seal of the front door. The forward and rearward seals engage one another in a fully-closed position.

A refrigerating unit including a compartment, a glass door, and a heating arrangement installed in a base profile of the compartment. The refrigerating unit including an elongated gasket profile having a proximal part and a distal part, wherein the proximal part includes a flexible element configured to allow the distal part to be displaced towards the base profile upon closing the glass door. The distal part includes a hollow part with a first side of the hollow part connected to the proximal part and a second side of the hollow part directed towards the glass door. The heating arrangement further includes a heat-conducting material enclosed by the hollow part and arranged with an outer side surface of the heat-conducting material abutting the second side of the hollow part, and a heating element enclosed by the hollow part and arranged for conductive heating of the heat-conducting material.

A method including forming a housing configured to house a number of first magnets; fixing the number of first magnets to the housing to form a magnetic sub-assembly; and attaching the magnetic sub-assembly to at least one of the closure or the body. The magnetic sub-assembly being configured to cooperate with a number of second magnets disposed on either the closure or the body, so that when the closure is in the closed position, a magnetic force between the magnetic sub-assembly and the number of second magnets biases the closure towards the body.

A vehicle includes a body having an uninterrupted side aperture that provides access to an interior passenger cabin. A front door is hingedly attached at a forward edge of the uninterrupted side aperture. The front door is selectively operable between front open and front closed positions. A rear door is hingedly attached at a rearward edge of the uninterrupted side aperture. The rear door is selectively operable between rear open and rear closed positions. A latching assembly is at least partially positioned within the body and configured to receive the front door in the front closed position and the rear door in the rear closed position. A sealing assembly is defined between a forward seal of the rear door and a rearward seal of the front door. The forward and rearward seals engage one another in a fully-closed position.

A cooling device includes a cabinet body that encloses a compartment, a door operatively associated with the cabinet body to selectively enclose the compartment, a heat source to heat transfer, a first magnetic element in contact with or attached to a front flange of the cabinet body and a sealing assembly for sealing an area between the cabinet body and the door of the cooling device. The heat source and the first magnetic member are at least partly in contact with each other in such a way that condensation problems thereof are effectively reduced.

A refrigerator is disclosed. The refrigerator includes a cabinet provided with a storage compartment, an inner case to define an appearance of the storage compartment, a first door (20) pivotally mounted to the cabinet, to open or close one side of the storage compartment, and a second door (40) pivotally mounted to the cabinet, to open or close the other side of the storage compartment. The second door (40) is provided with a pillar (100) rotatable to come into contact with the first door (20). The pillar (100) is spaced apart from a top wall of the inner case and a bottom wall of the inner case, to be prevented from coming into contact with the inner case when the second door (40) is maintained to seal the storage compartment.

A refrigerator appliance includes a cabinet defining a compartment. A door is hingedly coupled with the cabinet and is configured to selectively seal the compartment. The door includes a door trim breaker. An engagement member extends from the door trim breaker. A first retention ridge extends from a first side of the engagement member, and a second retention ridge extends from a second side of the engagement member. The first retention ridge is offset from the second retention ridge. A gasket is configured to fit over the engagement member and includes a coupling portion defining first and second retention spaces. The first retention space is configured to receive the first retention ridge, and the second retention space is configured to receive the second retention ridge. A contact portion is integrally formed with the coupling portion and is configured to at least partially abut the cabinet when the door is closed.

A water-tight sealing system for a bathtub door may include, but is not limited to, an opening in a side of a bathtub. A door may be coupled to the bathtub and configured to close the bathtub side. Magnetic elements may be positioned on one of a periphery of a door and a periphery of the bathtub side and corresponding metallic elements may be positioned on the other of the periphery of the door and the periphery of the bathtub side. One or more compressible seals may be positioned along the periphery of the door and against the magnetic elements such that the compressible seals are compressed between the magnetic elements and the corresponding metallic elements when the door is closed. Magnetic attraction between the magnetic elements and the corresponding metallic elements may compress the compressible seals to form a water-tight seal between the door and the bathtub.

A throat assembly (14) for forming the peripheral front face of the compartment opening of a refrigeration appliance (1). The throat assembly spanning the gap between respective front edges of a refrigerator cabinet (3) outer wrapper (2) and the compartment inner liner (13). The throat assembly includes at least one elongate plastics injection moulded component having a panel (15) including a planar front face (21) for contact with a door gasket seal (16) and an elongate magnet arrangement at its rear face (22) for magnetic coupling with a door gasket magnet (20). The throat assembly may comprise plural such interconnected elongate members providing a monolithic frame, formed in a single injection moulding operation, surrounding the compartment opening.

The cooling apparatus includes: a thermal insulation box; a door; and a magnetic gasket, the magnetic gasket having: a magnet; a magnet retaining part; and a heat insulation sheet being provided between the magnet and the magnet retaining part and being provided, in a closed state in which the opening is closed by the door, on a side portion on a side of the door on a peripheral surface of the magnet and on a side portion facing an inner side in a width direction in the closed state on the peripheral surface of the magnet.
