Abstract: A refrigerator that includes a cabinet housing a refrigerator compartment and having a front opening. A door provides access to the refrigerator compartment. The door includes a first section and a second section. A locking mechanism is provided for selectively securing the second section to the first section when the second section is in a closed position relative to the first section. The locking mechanism includes a handle disposed within an elongated recess of the second section. A latch hook is engageable with the handle for selectively locking the second section in the closed position relative to the first section.

Abstract: A refrigerator includes a cabinet housing a refrigerator compartment with a front opening and a door providing access to the refrigerator compartment. The door includes: a first section having a first lateral edge portion and a second lateral edge portion hingeably affixed to the cabinet's first lateral edge portion, a first opening extending generally a substantial area of the first section, inwardly facing vertical rails on each vertical side of the opening, and at least one pocket shelf moveably affixed between the vertical rails; and a second section hingeably affixed to the second lateral edge portion, with a second opening extending generally a substantial area of the second section, an insulated glass panel closing the second opening, a cavity defined between the first section and the second section, a peripheral wall surrounding the cavity, and at least one pocket shelf moveably affixed within the cavity on the peripheral wall.

Abstract: A refrigerator appliance includes a compartment and a door having an interior wall and at least one rail attached thereto. A harvest bin assembly is attachable to the at least one rail and includes a housing having a mount for securing the housing to the at least one rail. First pivot elements are disposed on each side of the housing. A removable bin defines a storage space and includes a plurality of holes formed in a bottom wall thereof. Second pivot elements are disposed on a side wall of the removable bin and engage a corresponding first pivot element on the housing. The first pivot elements and the second pivot elements define a pivot axis whereby the removable bin pivots between a first, closed position and a second, open position. A tray engages the bottom wall of the removable bin when the removable bin is in the first, closed position.

Abstract: A retainer member is provided for retaining a food receptacle relative to an inner liner of an appliance cabinet or door. The retainer includes a base that is movably coupleable to the inner liner and first and second arms that extend from the base. The first and second arms are curved about an axis and define a passageway extending through the first and second arms along the axis. A free end of the first arm is spaced from a free end of the second arm to define an opening to provide radial access to the passageway through the opening.

Abstract: A collapsible grate for a cooktop is provided. The collapsible grate includes a plurality of support members supported at either end at spaced locations along flexible edge strips. In preferred embodiments, each edge strip includes a plurality of sockets to receive the respective ends of the support members. The flexible edge strips allow the grate to be rolled up and folded over on itself for ease of removal and cleaning the underlying cooktop surface.
