ABSTRACT:
An improved refrigerator of the forced refrigerated air type is disclosed in which a divider shelf is provided for the convenience of the user who wishes to convert a portion of the freezer section into a standard refrigeration section or a portion of the standard refrigerator section into a freezer section. The shelf is formed of an insulating material and is dimensioned and shaped to be positioned in a selected compartment in any of a plurality of selectable locations. The shelf has a resilient sealing member along peripheral portions which engage the corresponding walls of the compartment in which it is positioned so as to permit the shelf to selectively alter the flow of refrigerated air in such a manner as to permit the separate thermostatic temperature control of the separate sections created by the shelf. Depending upon the desired application, the shelf may or may not include a thermostatically controlled aperture to further selectively control the flow of frigid air thereby also controlling the temperature of the section thus created. Various constructions of the shelf permit the consumer to conveniently and quickly convert the refrigerator from a standard arrangement to a plurality of selectable and temperature controllable arrangements including an energy saving arrangement in which a part of the standard refrigerator section or freezer section may be totally inactivated.
