Claim 1 is representative of the subject matter on appeal
and reads as follows:
1. A method of assembling a storage cabinet, comprising
the steps of:
providing an inner wall defining a storage space, the
inner wall including a first opening;
positioning an outer wall having a second opening
surrounding said inner wall to define an insulation space
therebetween;
installing a wiring harness in said insulation space, the
wiring harness comprising a pair of electrical plug-in
connectors and a plurality of conductors extending
therebetween, the installing step comprising inserting one
connector into the first opening and the other connector into
the second opening,
the above steps being carried out in any order; and
injecting a foamed-in-place insulation into said
insulation space, said connectors sealing said first opening
and said second opening to prevent leakage of the foamed-in-
place insulation.
As evidence of obviousness, the examiner relies on the
following prior art:
