ABSTRACT:
Uniform compression of a refrigerator door seal against the peripheral surface of the cabinet opening is realized by a pair of spaced hinge assemblies coupled for synchronized operation which, in automatic response to opening the door, shifts the hinge axis outwardly prior to permitting pivotal movement of the door about the hinge axis, and requires the door to be moved linearly inwardly while being maintained parallel to the plane of the cabinet opening during final closing of the door.
