Abstract (en)
A cabinet (110) for a refrigerator appliance comprises an inner casing (114) wherein a cavity (111, 112) configured to receive food items to be stored is formed and an outer casing (115) having a top wall (117), a bottom wall (118), a rear wall (119) and side walls (116a, 116b). The outer casing (115) is joined to a front wall of said inner casing (114) and the top wall (117), the bottom wall (118), the rear wall (119) and the side walls (116a, 116b) of the outer casing (115) are spaced apart from the inner casing (114) so as to define with it a cavity to be filled with a thermally insulating material. All the walls (116a, 116b, 117, 118, 119) forming the outer casing (115) are made of a metal material and strips (140) made of a material softer than said metal material are applied at the interfaces between neighboring metal walls.
