REFRIGERATOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17860344 titled 'REFRIGERATOR

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a refrigerator design that includes an inner case with a storage compartment, a plurality of plates formed by injection molding, an outer case, and an insulation material between the inner and outer cases. One of the plates has a front flange that forms part of the front surface of the inner case, and another plate is coupled to the first plate and also contributes to the front surface.

The refrigerator design includes an inner case with a storage compartment.
The inner case is made up of multiple plates that are formed through injection molding.
An outer case is attached to the outer side of the inner case.
An insulation material is placed between the inner and outer cases.
One of the plates has a front flange that forms part of the front surface of the inner case.
Another plate is coupled to the first plate and also contributes to the front surface.

Potential applications of this technology:

Household refrigerators and freezers
Commercial refrigeration units
Industrial refrigeration systems

Problems solved by this technology:

Simplifies the manufacturing process by using injection-molded plates for the inner case
Provides a secure and efficient coupling mechanism for the front surface of the inner case

Benefits of this technology:

Cost-effective production through injection molding
Improved insulation and energy efficiency
Enhanced durability and structural integrity

Original Abstract Submitted

A refrigerator including: an inner case defining a storage compartment and including a plurality of plates respectively formed by injection molding; an outer case coupled to an outer side of the inner case; and an insulation material interposed between the inner case and the outer case. A first plate among the plurality of plates includes a first front flange defining a part of a front surface of the inner case, and a second plate among the plurality of plates includes a second front flange defining another part of the front surface of the inner case and coupled to the first front flange.
