ABSTRACT:
A gasket assembly for side-by-side doors of a household refrigerator-freezer has first and second cooperating gasket elements. Each gasket element is connected to a respective door of the refrigerator-freezer. Each gasket element has a magnet in a magnet chamber for sealing the doors one to the other and a longitudinally extending insulating chamber for contacting the refrigerator mullion and forming a seal between the respective door and the mullion, as is known in the art.
The improved construction of this invention has a pair of elongated flanges, each connected to a respective insulating chamber. The flanges each extend from their respective gasket element toward the other gasket element in the closed position of the doors. Where a mullion is present, the flanges are each urged into contact with the mullion by their associated magnet for forming an improved seal. In the absence of a mullion, the flanges contact one another for sealing one gasket element to the other. The gasket elements each have a second longitudinally extending insulating chamber contacting the inner surface of the respective door for forming an improved, insulated seal.
