  • Patent number: 12660920
    Abstract: An appliance includes a basket having a bottom wall and a plurality of sidewalls forming an interior compartment. The basket includes a first positioning wall and a second positioning wall extending from the bottom wall. The first positioning wall extends substantially co-directional to a first axis. The second positioning wall extends substantially co-directional to a second axis. A base assembly includes a base wall, a first perimeter wall, and a second perimeter wall. A first adjustment member extends from the first perimeter wall toward the first positioning wall co-directional to the second axis. A second adjustment member extends from the second perimeter wall toward the second positioning wall co-directional to the first axis. The base wall extends co-planar to the bottom wall. A third adjustment member extends from the base wall toward the bottom wall co-directional to a third axis.

  • Patent number: 10921051
    Abstract: A refrigerator appliance includes a an insulated cabinet defining a chilled food storage chamber within an interior thereof. An illuminated chamber is defined within the cabinet and is optically separated from the chilled food storage chamber by a wall of the chilled food storage chamber. At least one light source is positioned to emit light into the illuminated chamber. A shelf is selectively mountable in one of a plurality of positions within the food storage chamber. The shelf includes a light-transmitting body. The light-transmitting body of the shelf is in optical communication with the illuminated chamber when the shelf is mounted within the food storage chamber, such that light from the light source of the illuminated chamber travels through the light-transmitting body. As a result, an edge of the shelf is illuminated by the light.

  • Publication number: 20060250063
    Abstract: A storage bin assembly for mounting to a household refrigerator door comprises a storage bin defining a recess and having an opening to provide access to the recess. The storage bin is movably mounted to the door for movement between an opened position where the recess can be accessed through the opening and a closed position where the opening is sealed with the door. The door can comprise a housing that supports the storage bin and seals with the storage bin when the storage bin is in the closed position. The storage bin can comprise a peripheral wall that defines the recess and terminates at an upper edge defining the opening.
