Idea for Refrigerator Add-On Unit

Is your refrigerator big enough for usual demands, yet too small when company comes? How about an add-on food cooler that could temporarily hookup to your refrigerator? This could be an insulated cooler with a hose to circulate refrigerated air from the refrigerator to the add-on cooler and back. Just connect this supplementary "refrigerator" when needed, then disconnect and store the cooler when not needed. The cooler hose could be flat to fit under the door gasket of a normal refrigerator that is not equipped with a hose coupling. Refrigerators could also be designed with this feature, including a fan and temperature control for the add-on cooler. Save money in the long run with a smaller refrigerator - yet have the capacity of a larger unit when needed!

Possible Start Building Blocks –

  • Existing concepts for refrigerators, portable coolers, old-time icebox milk coolers, home heating/cooling distribution system with dampers to close off unused rooms, etc.

  • USPTO Class/Subclasses for "How-To" ideas - 62/441, 62/177, 62/37$ ($is wildcard character)
