Abstract: A refrigerator includes a cabinet with an adjustable wall partitioning the cabinet between first and second storage compartments. An adjustment mechanism is coupled to the adjustable wall and includes a mounting portion that is slideably coupled to an underside of the adjustable wall between fore and aft positions. A retaining mechanism is operably coupled to the mounting portion and includes a plurality of engagement features that engage like engagement features disposed on the underside of the adjustable wall. The retaining mechanism is moved to the disengaged position to allow movement of the adjustment mechanism between the fore and aft positions. The adjustment mechanism further includes support guides downwardly extending from opposite sides of the mounting portion. The support guides are slideably received in inclined channels disposed on opposite sidewalls of the cabinet between raised and lowered positions as the adjustment mechanism moves between the fore and aft positions.

Abstract: A refrigerator includes an interior compartment having an adjustable interior volume operable between first and second volumetric settings and a number of intermediate settings provided therebetween. A door is pivotally coupled to the interior compartment and operable between open and closed positions relative to the interior compartment. The door includes a moving member that is slideably coupled to a fixed member. The moving member is operable between extended and retracted positions with respect to the fixed member, such that the door is an expandable door configured to cover an open front portion of the interior compartment as the interior compartment moves between various volumetric settings.
