A glass door for a refrigerator or freezer having an open rectangular frame around the glass, the top, bottom and sides of the frame each comprising a front metal extrusion and a rear plastic extrusion, the front extrusion having a part extending in front of the glass and the rear having a part extending in back of the glass, the extrusions being snap-fitted together with the glass between said parts, the plastic rear members being of low thermal conductivity relative to the metal front members for reduced heat transfer from the metal front members through the plastic rear members to maintain the metal front members warmer and avoid condensation of moisture on the exposed surfaces thereof.

Closure such as a glass door for a refrigeration or freezer

Disposable pan for heating and serving food

A dual temperature merchandiser incorporating both upper and lower communicating compartments, the upper compartment for chilling food products, with the lower compartment disposed for holding frozen food products, a single refrigeration unit incorporating the condenser and compressor are provided for maintaining the chilled and freezing temperatures within their respective compartments, and evaporators operatively associated and rendered functional by the aforesaid condenser and compressor being provided within each of the compartments, thermostatic controls responsive to the temperatures maintained within each compartment a valve operatively associated with the thermostatic control maintained in the upper chilling compartment and providing for the flow, or curtailment thereof, of refrigerant through the evaporator maintained within said compartment for independently maintaining the chilling temperature therein, regardless of the continued transfer of refrigerant through the lower compartment and sustaining of the freezing temperature therein; the evaporator contained in the lower compartment being formed of a series of coils, and a portion of said coils being arranged adjacent the lower compartment walls for enhancing the efficiency of its refrigeration.
