Vacuum insulated door structure for an appliance incorporating a dispenser structure

1. A door panel for a refrigerating appliance, the door panel comprising:

an inner liner;

an outer wrapper attached to the inner liner and defining an insulating structure with an insulating cavity disposed therein;

an insulating material defined within the insulating cavity;

a dispenser structure defined within a portion of the inner liner and the outer wrapper, wherein the dispenser structure defines an insulated dispenser portion therein; and

a dispenser conduit extending from an interior area disposed above the dispenser structure to an external dispensing cavity and passing through the insulated dispenser portion, wherein:

the dispenser structure is a dispenser assembly that is attached to the inner liner and the outer wrapper, wherein the dispenser assembly includes the dispenser conduit;

the inner liner and the outer wrapper cooperatively define an aperture within a central portion of the inner liner and the outer wrapper;

the aperture includes at least one attachment tab that couples with the dispenser assembly via a mechanical fastener to define the dispenser structure; and

the at least one attachment tab includes a liner attachment tab that extends from the inner liner and a wrapper attachment tab that extends from the outer wrapper.

2. The door panel of claim 1 , wherein the dispenser assembly includes a supplemental interior cavity having a supplemental insulating material disposed therein.

3. The door panel of claim 2 , wherein the supplemental insulating material includes a foam-type insulation.

4. The door panel of claim 1 , wherein the insulating cavity defines an at least partial vacuum.

5. A door panel for a refrigerating appliance, the door panel comprising:

an inner liner coupled with an outer wrapper and defining an insulating cavity therein, wherein an interior perimeter is defined within the outer wrapper;

an insulating material defined within the insulating cavity, wherein the insulating cavity defines an at least partial vacuum;

a dispenser structure disposed proximate the interior perimeter, wherein the dispenser structure defines an insulated dispenser portion therein, and wherein the dispenser structure further defines an external dispensing cavity defined within the interior perimeter and extending rearward of the interior perimeter; and

a dispenser conduit extending from an interior area disposed above the dispenser structure to the external dispensing cavity and passing through the insulated dispenser portion, wherein:

the interior perimeter partially defines an internal aperture having an attachment structure;

the dispenser structure is a separate dispenser assembly that couples with the attachment structure;

the attachment structure extends from each of the inner liner and the outer wrapper;

the attachment structure includes fastener receptacles that receive fasteners for attaching the dispenser assembly; and

the fasteners are maintained separate from the insulating cavity.

6. The door panel of claim 5 , wherein the dispenser structure includes an external portion that at least partially defines the external dispensing cavity, wherein the external portion is a portion of the outer wrapper.

7. The door panel of claim 5 , wherein the dispenser structure includes an internal portion that at least partially defines the interior area disposed above the dispenser structure, and wherein the internal portion is a portion of the inner liner.
