Patent number: 9513047Abstract: A door module assembly for a refrigerator door of a refrigerator appliance may generally include a mounting bracket configured to be removably coupled to the refrigerator door to allow the mounting bracket to be moveable between a plurality of mounting locations defined along a height of the refrigerator door. The door module assembly may also include a door tray movable relative to the mounting bracket and at least one translation device configured in operative association with adjacent walls of the door tray and the mounting bracket. The translation device may be configured such that the door tray is movable relative to the mounting bracket in a horizontal direction between a retracted position and an extended position. Moreover, an open tray volume defined by the door tray may be accessible when the door tray is in both the retracted position and the extended position.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2014Date of Patent: December 6, 2016Assignee: Haier US Appliance Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Bagawathkumar Chellappan, Madan Gopal Reddy Pathapati, Louis Anthony Wantland, Ratnakar Sahasrabudhe

Patent number: 8319813Abstract: A mounting assembly, for mounting a reflection mirror within a laser scanning unit, includes a mounting structure, and a pair of urging members. The mounting structure includes a base member, and a first pair of support protrusions and a second pair of support protrusions configured on the base member. Each of the first pair of support protrusions and the second pair of support protrusions includes a first support protrusion having a first top surface, and a second support protrusion having a second top surface. The first support protrusion is capable of supporting an end portion of the reflection mirror on the first top surface. Each urging member of the pair of urging members is adapted to be secured over the second top surface of the second support protrusion for urging the end portion of the reflection mirror on the first support protrusion.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2009Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: Lexmark International Inc.Inventors: Randall Lee Hudson, Louis Anthony Wantland
