Claim 1
Independent Claim
256 words
In a refrigerator frame having an internal cell and an external housing with a mass of polyurethane foam in the space between the cell and housing, a composite section therefor, including a first member having at least two spaced-parallel walls with one end of each wall being bent at substantially right angles to the wall to constitute means for anchoring the first member in the polyurethane, said member having another wall extending transversely with respect to and joined with said two spaced-parallel walls in spaced relationship to said bent ends and abutting the polyurethane mass, one further wall parallel to said transversely extending wall joined to the other ends of said two spaced-parallel walls providing internal cavities within the first member, a second member cooperable with the first member, said second member having a wall parallel to said one further wall of the first member and a second wall joined therewith and extending at right angles thereto for engaging one end of said another wall of the first member, said parallel wall of the second member having a flexible male connector for insertion into a seat provided in said one further wall of the first member to provide a detachable connection between the first and second members, with said parallel wall and second wall of the second member cooperating in the connected condition, with said one further wall, the two spaced-parallel walls and said another wall of the first member to close the internal cavities to define seats for receiving electric cables, tubes and the like.
