Abstract
A refrigeration appliance includes a plurality of side panels and a base panel, one of the side panels containing within the inner and outer walls thereof a complete mechanical refrigeration unit. The side panels and the base panel are provided with integral interlocking means in the edges thereof so that the panels may be manufactured at one location and shipped in knockdown form to another location where the side panels may be readily assembled on the base panel by unskilled personnel without the use of tools or separate fastening means by simple engagement of the interlocking means in the panel edges. A lid or closure panel may then be secured to one of the side panels to provide a completely enclosed refrigerated compartment.
