Abstract
An improved refrigerated merchandiser cabinet for food products storage and displaying which is equipped with transparent barrier doors which are openable by a door operating mechanism which selectively creates a gap between the door and the covered access opening to permit flow-through of ambient air for use during the defrost cycle. The door operating mechanism also permits the gap to be closed by imposition of an outside force by provision of a motion take-up means. Normal product entry and customer usage is provided for. Operation of the refrigerated cabinet with either a single or multiple air bands during a refrigeration cycle is provided for. During the defrost cycle a number of ambient air flow patterns can be employed, including the use of an auxiliary air fan. Reversal of the air band flow pattern during a defrost cycle is provided for. The method of operating the improved refrigeration display cabinet is also included.
