Abstract
Abstract In the preferred form, a support formed of polyester resin containing glass fibers has fastened to opposite ends thereof an outer sheet metal wall and an inner plastic liner of a refrigerator. The support has a protrusion extending through an opening in the liner containing a wide flat passage therein and an external flat surface to which is fastened another sheet metal wall spaced from the liner. The wide flat passage broadens as it extends from the liner to an outer wall which has an opening of similar size. Electrical conductors extend through the passage to the interior of the refrigerator.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
81 words
A combined insulating support and duct including a member of a structurally strong heat and electrical insulating material having two spaced substantially parallel surfaces, a protrusion extending from one of said surfaces, a passage extending through the protrusion and having an enlarged portion extending through the remainder of said member to the other surface, said surfaces having means for receiving fastening devices, said protrusion including a flat surface spaced from the other surfaces provided with means for receiving a fastening device.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
81 words
A combined insulating support and duct including a member of a structurally strong heat and electrical insulating material having two spaced substantially parallel surfaces, a protrusion extending from one of said surfaces, a passage extending through the protrusion and having an enlarged portion extending through the remainder of said member to the other surface, said surfaces having means for receiving fastening devices, said protrusion including a flat surface spaced from the other surfaces provided with means for receiving a fastening device.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
156 words
In combination, a first wall having a first opening therein, a second wall spaced from said first wall having a second opening therein, a combined structural support and duct member of strong heat and electrical insulating material extending between said first and second walls aligned with said openings, said member having two spaced substantially parallel surfaces, a protrusion extending from one of said surfaces, a passage extending through the protrusion and having an enlarged portion extending through the remainder of said member to the other surface, said protrusion including a flat surface spaced from the other surfaces provided with means for receiving a fastening device fastening a third wall to said protrusion surface, first fastening means adjacent said first opening fastening said first wall to said support, second fastening means adjacent said second opening fastening said second wall to said member whereby said member provides a combined structural connection and insulated electrical duct between said walls.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
156 words
