Abstract:
A structural cabinet for an appliance includes an outer wrapper and an inner liner defining an insulating cavity therebetween. A first insulating structural layer is disposed against an inner surface of the outer wrapper. A second insulating structural layer is disposed against the inward surface of the inner liner. A core insulating material is disposed between the first and second structural insulating layers, wherein the first and second insulating structural layers reinforce the outer wrapper and inner liner, respectively, and resist deflection when the core insulating material is in a compressed state within the insulating cavity.

Claim (Index 68):
An appliance comprising:\n a structural cabinet having an inside surface that defines an insulating cavity within the structural cabinet, wherein the insulating cavity defines an at least partial vacuum; an insulating structural layer disposed against the inside surface, wherein the insulating structural layer is defined by a plurality of hollow glass spheres, wherein the insulating structural layer defines an interstitial insulating space within the insulating cavity, wherein the plurality of hollow glass spheres include at least one of microspheres and nanospheres; and a core insulating material disposed within the interstitial insulating space, wherein the insulating structural layer reinforces the structural cabinet and resists deflection when the core insulating material is in a compressed state within the insulating cavity, wherein the insulating structural layer reinforces the structural cabinet such that an outer surface of the structural cabinet maintains a consistent shape in response to an inward compressive force generated by the at least partial vacuum of the insulating cavity, and wherein the insulating structural layer prevents the outer surface of the structural cabinet from conforming to a shape of an insulation profile of the core insulating material within the interstitial insulating space.
