ABSTRACT:
Conventional refrigerator/freezer cabinets are provided with an outer shell having fixed dimensions determined according to total width of inner liners, and thus storage capacity, of the cabinet. For a manufacturer assembling cabinets of varying capacity, it is therefore necessary to stock many different size outer shells. However, to minimize costs it is desirable to use standard parts with any size cabinets. Accordingly, a cabinet construction is disclosed adaptable to provide a plurality of different cabinet widths with one size outer shell section. Each cabinet includes a pair of outer shell sections with each section including a back wall having an inner forwardly turned flange and an inwardly extending end portion. The end portions of the two sections overlap a selected amount determined according to the width of the liners. The end portions are then spot welded to one another.
