Door for refrigerator, freezer or the like |
(57) A door for a refrigerator, freezer or the like comprises an outer panel (1), an inner
panel (3) of plastics material and thermal insulation (8) between the panels. Around
the periphery of the door is a seal (9) comprising a resiliently flexible sealing
portion (20) and a lip (10) which is made of a stiffer material than the sealing portion
and which is held between an inwardly directed flange (2) on the outer door panel
(1) and a flange (5) of channel-like cross-section on the inner door panel (3). The
lip (10) has a raised portion which engages in the channel of the flange (5) on the
inner door panel to retain the lip between the two flanges, and the flange (5) on
the inner panel is deflexible to allow the lip to be pulled from between the flanges
when the seal is to be replaced. Diagonal slots (21) are formed in the lip at the
comers of the door to facilitate the insertion and removal of the seal.
