发明名称 Sealing grommet in a refrigerator cabinet
摘要 A sealing grommet is utilized to form a seal for articles such as electrical wires passing through the outer case of a refrigerator cabinet, the insulation, particularly foam insulation, between the outer case and the inner liner of the cabinet, and the inner liner. The grommet includes a substantially cylindrically shaped hollow body of a relatively rigid material disposed between the inner liner and the outer wall with a core of a relatively soft material supported by the inner surface of the body and secured thereto by glue, for example. Each of the body and the core is split longitudinally to receive the electrical wires with the core having a central longitudinal passage extending therethrough for an interference fit with the electrical wires. An integral mounting flange and a plurality of spaced locking lugs cooperate to mount the body on the inner liner. A separate grommet can be utilized at the outer case with the core having a sufficient length to extend into engagement with the adjacent surface of the separate grommet so that the core has a seal with the outer case through the separate grommet having a seal with the outer case. The body could have a mounting flange, similar to the mounting flange cooperating with the inner liner, for cooperation with the outer case rather than a separate grommet being employed.
