  • Publication number: 20240133618
    Abstract: A bottle support configured to interact with a shelf includes a brace, hooks, and resilient clips. The brace defines a notch configured to engage bottles disposed on the shelf. The hooks extend from the brace and are configured to engage an upper region of the shelf such that bottle holder slidably engages the shelf. The resilient clips extend downward from the hooks and are configured to snap onto a lower region of the shelf to connect the brace to the shelf. The engagement between the hooks and the shelf is configured to facilitate lateral movement of the brace. The engagement between the hooks and the shelf is configured to restrict forward and rearward movement of the brace. Engagement between the clips and the shelf is configured to restrict vertical movement of the brace.

  • Patent number: 11892230
    Abstract: A refrigerator shelving system includes a plate, an elongated support member, and a support brace. The plate has a front edge, a rear edge, and side edges extending between the front and rear edges. The elongated support member has a base secured to the rear edge of the plate. The elongated support member has a rail protruding upward from the base. The rail extends between the side edges of the plate. The support brace is disposed on a top of the plate. The support brace slidably engages the rail such that the support brace is slidable between the side edges. The support brace defines a notch configured to engage a bottle disposed on the top of the plate to restrict movement of the bottle.

  • Patent number: 11150010
    Abstract: A refrigerator shelf includes a frame having laterally spaced first and second side members, each with respective first ends. A first substrate is received between the first and second side members, defines a first edge, and is directly supported on the first and second side members so as to be moveable along the first and second side members between an extended position with the first edge adjacent to the first ends of the first and second side members and a tucked position with the front edge spaced away from the first ends.

  • Patent number: 10753674
    Abstract: A refrigerator shelf includes a frame having laterally spaced-apart first and second side members, defining opposite first and second ends defining first and second portions of a front edge profile of the refrigerator shelf, respectively. A medial member extends between the first and second side members at respective locations between the first and second ends. A first substrate is received between the first and second side members, defines a first edge, and is moveable between an extended position with the first edge adjacent the first ends of the first and second members and a tucked position with the front edge spaced away from the first ends. A trim member extends along an edge of the second substrate and defines a third portion of the front edge profile that is aligned with and physically engages with the first and second portions when the second substrate is in the extended position.
