Abstract: In a refrigeration appliance, an enclosure or container defines an enclosed space. A two-plane door forms a portion of the container. The two-plane door opens along one pivot axis and allows access to the enclosed interior space. The container can be a thermally insulated in-door ice compartment of a refrigerated appliance. One example is a bottom freezer style, with the in-door ice compartment in the cold food section of the appliance.

Abstract: A domestic refrigerator includes a door operable to pivot about an axis of rotation. A cam plate is coupled to the door and includes a first cam surface. The refrigerator includes a coupler body that has a second cam surface engaged with the first cam surface and an aperture defined therein. A hinge pin defines the axis of rotation and includes an upper end positioned in the aperture of the coupler body. The hinge pin has a plurality of longitudinal slots defined therein. A plurality of splines extend from the coupler body, and each spline is received in a corresponding longitudinal slot of the hinge pin.

Abstract: A domestic appliance includes a cabinet with a door positioned at a front of the cabinet, a closer assembly secured to the door, a mounting bracket coupled to the front of the cabinet, a hinge pin extending upwardly from the mounting bracket, and a coupler body. The closer assembly includes a downwardly-extending shaft. The coupler body has a first inner sidewall defining a lower aperture that receives an upper end of the hinge pin, and a second inner sidewall defining an upper aperture that receives a lower end of the shaft. The shaft of the closer assembly has a first plurality of splines formed thereon, and the second inner sidewall of the coupler body has a second plurality of splines formed thereon. The second plurality of splines of the coupler body engages the first plurality of splines of the shaft.

Abstract: A domestic refrigerator includes a door operable to pivot about an axis of rotation, a cam plate coupled to the door that includes a first cam surface, and a coupler body having a second cam surface engaged with the first cam surface. The coupler body has an inner wall that defines an aperture and includes a pair of substantially planar surfaces. A hinge pin defines the axis of rotation and has an upper end positioned in the aperture of the coupler body. The upper end includes a pair of substantially planar surfaces engaged with the pair of substantially planar surfaces of the coupler body to prevent rotation of the coupler body about the axis of rotation.
