  • Patent number: 10254037
    Abstract: A fan assembly for a refrigeration appliance includes a fan for circulating air within a compartment of the refrigeration appliance. The fan includes a frame. A housing is provided for mounting the fan. The housing includes a plate with an opening extending through the plate. A plurality of walls extends from a surface of the plate. A first retaining member extends in a direction generally parallel to a surface of the plate and is disposed proximate the opening for hindering movement of the fan in a direction generally perpendicular to a surface of the plate. The plurality of walls and the first retaining member define a pocket for receiving the frame. A vibration damping member is provided for allowing the fan to vibrate relative to the housing and for hindering the transmission of vibrations from the fan to the housing.

  • Patent number: 9874393
    Abstract: A storage system for storing food items in a temperature-controlled environment includes a rail attached to a liner panel. The rail includes at least one mounting structure that passes through an aperture in the liner panel. A bin has an arm extending from a rear surface of the bin. The bin is placed in a storage position. The arm is placed between the rail and the liner panel when the bin is placed in the storage position. Another example of the storage system and refrigeration appliance includes a foot extending from a rear surface of the bin. Yet another example includes interaction between a bin tab and a plurality of bumps on the rail to prevent side to side motion.
