Insulated refrigerator door assembly with substantially all glass front doors.

摘要

A multi-pane insulated glass door assembly (10) in which the forward pane (31) of the glass unit extends outwardly a distance greater than the panes (32,33) rearwardly thereof and is supported by an outer metal frame (40) having a relatively narrow forwardly extending perimeter (41) portion adjacent the peripheral edge of the forward glass pane (31) so as to provide the door with a modernistic, substantially all glass front appearance. In the illustrated embodiment, the outer metal frame (40) has a rear portion extending inwardly behind the forward glass pane (31) and a moulding (42) is interposed between the forwardly extending perimiter (41) portion of the metal frame and the peripheral edge of the forward glass pane (31) to provide a finished appearance. A dark ink (65) is affixed to an inside peripheral face of the forward glass pane (31) for masking the peripheral components of the door assembly from sight through the forward glass pane (31) from the front side thereof.
