Abstract: A refrigerator shelf assembly includes a glass shelf element and a pair of mounting structures. The glass shelf element has a planar portion and upwardly extending walls extending upwardly from and around the planar portion. The planar portion has an upper side and a lower side, with the upper side defining a support surface. At least two of the walls include generally horizontal flanges, which extend outwardly from the planar portion. Each of the mounting structures has an elongate recess, with the flanges of the shelf element extending into the elongate recesses for slidably mounting the shelf element between the mounting structures and further permitting the shelf element to be extended from the refrigerator but also removed from the mounting structures for use as a tray exteriorly of the refrigerator, including for use as a cooking tray.

Abstract: A sun visor assembly for an automotive vehicle includes a sun visor panel having generally planar opposing sides sandwiched together to define a pocket therebetween. A longitudinally extending support rod is positioned between the opposing sides of the panel for supporting the panel in the interior of the vehicle. An adjustment mechanism is coupled between the support rod and the sun visor panel for providing selective sliding movement of the sun visor panel along the support rod between a retracted position and an extended position. The adjustment mechanism includes a support frame secured to the visor panel having an upper rail forming a longitudinal rack, a guide carriage secured to the support rod and slidably coupled to the support frame, and a gear rotatably supported by the carriage and meshed with the rack for guiding the sun visor panel along the support rod between the retracted and extended positions.

Abstract: A shelf assembly includes a plastic body and a frame, which includes a pair of spaced apart side frame members. In addition, the frame is adapted for mounting the shelf assembly to a mounting surface. The plastic body forms a shelf element, which extends between the side frame members. Furthermore, the plastic body has portions that encapsulate at least portions of the side frame members wherein the portions of the side frame members are enclosed in the plastic body.
