Abstract

See full text

A retainer and seal gasket is disclosed for a thermally insulated cabinet having a door. The configuration reduces the gap between the door and cabinet, and eliminates exposure of metal components to the cabinet interior. The retainer clamps the shell and liner of the container together without requiring separate mechanical fasteners. The retainer clips onto the shell and liner of the cabinet. The retainer further has a fastening means for securing the retainer and the seal gasket in an interlocking relationship. The retainer may include at least one anchoring rib for affixing the retainer within insulation inserted between the shell and liner of the container. The seal gasket provides a flexible bumper and a magnetic seal for releasably closing the door of the cabinet.
