ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a plastics structural shape for refrigerator cabinets provided with a door and a door liner comprising a bellows gasket portion forming a seal between the door and the cabinet box part, the structural shape and the gasket portion being joined together or being integral with each other by being co-extruded from two materials having different rigidities so that the gasket portion can be easily detached from the structural shape when necessary along the region in which they are joined together, said structural shape having a channel arranged to receive a replacement bellows gasket portion, and at least one elastically yieldable lateral flange acting as a spring clip for snap-fitting the structural shape to the door liner, characterised in that within said structural shape said channel is defined by a pair of walls which extend vertically or obliquely from a base which when in its coupled operating position overlies the door and door liner along their joining line.
