Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0626496A1] A refrigerator door assembly (11) is mounted on a stationary frame (10) of a refrigeration unit and comprises a door frame (15) integrally molded about a thermo-pane (14) in sealing relationship therewith. The door frame is hingedly mounted on the stationary frame (10) of the refrigeration unit by a pair of upper and lower hinge pins (16,17). A torsion bar (19), integrally molded within the door frame (15) and secured to one of the hinge pins (16), functions to constantly apply a closing force on the door frame (15) to move the door assembly (11) into sealing contact with the stationary frame (10) of the refrigeration unit. <IMAGE>
