Abstract
A refrigerator cabinet includes an outer metal shell supported on a separate base member having inwardly extending upper and lower flanges. The upper flange is secured to the bottom of said shell and a U-shaped bracket member is mounted in each corner of said base member to have an intermediate vertical portion abutting the vertical wall of said base member while upper and lower wall portions of the bracket member extend adjacent the upper and lower base flanges. A door is mounted on the front of the cabinet by hinge means including a lower hinge bracket which is clamped by fasteners through the base front wall to the intermediate portion of the bracket member. The lower wall of the bracket member serves to support a threaded leveling leg, while the upper wall of the bracket member serves to give pivotal support to a roller carrier which may be raised and lowered by an adjusting screw extending through the front wall of the base.
