Patent number: 11274874Abstract: A wall panel for an appliance is disclosed. The wall panel includes a substantially planar surface disposed within the interior of an appliance and extending the full height and width of an appliance wall. The wall panel may be disposed between the appliance cabinet structure and the internal storage structures, such as shelves, drawers and the like, to create a fully integrated appearance. In addition, the wall panel may serve to hide refrigeration components such as air vents, internal refrigeration coils, or water lines. In some cases, the surface of the wall panel is a three-dimensional molded pattern to provide structure and create a perception of greater depth within a compartment of the appliance. In other cases, the wall panel is a lighted panel that activates when a user interacts with the appliance.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2017Date of Patent: March 15, 2022Assignee: Whirlpool CorporationInventors: Julia B.

Patent number: 10991474Abstract: A shielding assembly for an infusion system includes a plurality of compartments and a door for each compartment, and provides a radioactive radiation barrier for the compartments. One of the compartments contains a radioisotope generator of the infusion system and another of the compartments may contain a waste bottle of the infusion system. An opening into each of the generator and waste bottle compartments may be oriented upward, and the opening into the latter may be at a higher elevation than the opening into the former, for example, to facilitate independent removal and replacement of each. A door of at least one of the compartments, other than the generator compartment, when closed, may prevent the door of the generator compartment from being opened. A cabinet structure for the infusion system may enclose the shielding assembly and secure the generator.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2018Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: Bracco Diagnostics Inc.Inventors: Charles R. Quirico, Ernest Balestracci, Daniel D. Darst, Eric J. Krause, Vishal N. Lokhande, Jacob S. Childs, Peter B. Madson, Daniel V. Clements

Publication number: 20200378678Abstract: A storage structure for an appliance, such as a refrigerator, is disclosed. The storage structure includes a metal frame coupled to the appliance, and in some cases welded to a door of the appliance. A storage bin is disposed within the metal frame and movable between an open and closed position. In some cases, a top wall of the metal frame may define the floor of a storage cavity disposed above the storage structure. The storage cavity may also include an upper retaining portion that is movably coupled to the appliance to adjust the size of the storage cavity.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2017Publication date: December 3, 2020Applicant: WHIRLPOOL CORPORATIONInventors: Julia B.
