ABSTRACT:
A new and improved automobile refrigerator comprising, in combination, an automobile dashboard having an exterior surface with a recess formed therein. A door is positioned over the recess to selectively open and close the recess. A hinge couples the lower edge of the door with the lower edge of the recess to allow the pivoting of the door to provide or prohibit access to the space within the recess interior of the dashboard. A box in the recess behind the door has upper and lower walls, side walls and a rear wall in the box-like configuration with an opening in the front of the walls terminating at the dashboard. Thermal insulation is located along all of the walls including the front door to abate the flow of thermal energy to and from the space within the box. A rectangular gasket is formed on the interior surface of the door adapted to contact the dashboard adjacent to the periphery of the opening. Flexible connectors have upper ends coupled to the box at upper extents thereof. The connectors have lower ends coupled to the interior surface of the door interior of the gasket to preclude excessive movement of the door when opened to lower than the horizontal.
