ABSTRACT:
A door is mounted on a refrigerator body by a mechanism enabling the door to be opened selectively at either side thereof while the other side forms a hinge. The mechanism includes a pair of hinge pins disposed on opposite sides of either the body or the door, and a pair of pin slots carried by the other of the body and door for receiving respective ones of the hinge pins when the door is closed. Pin grippers are mounted adjacent respective slots, and each pin gripper is movable between a release state permitting a respective pin to enter and leave its respective slot, and a retaining state preventing the respective pin from leaving its respective slot. A latch bar is manually slidable between first and second positions for holding one of the pin grippers in its retaining state while releasing the other pin gripper.
