Patent number: 10295248Abstract: A refrigeration appliance includes a cabinet that defines a storage compartment. A door is pivotably coupled to the cabinet and is movable between a closed position for closing the storage compartment and an open position for allowing access to the storage compartment. The door includes an inner surface and an outer surface. An opening extends between the inner surface and the outer surface. A window is disposed within the opening. The window optionally includes a lower portion that is non-transparent. A storage bin is attachable to a lower portion of the inner surface of the door wherein the non-transparent portion of the window obstructs viewing of the storage bin when the door is in the closed position.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2017Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: Electrolux Home Products, Inc.Inventors: Orin Miller, Ricky Burgan, Doug Burnett, Miranda Valentino, Joel Riddell, Varun Rajasekaran, Jose Macias, Terry Lynn Sexton, Josh Hanson, Ran Zhou, Cornel Comsa, Matthew Elexy Edge, Billy Seth Lon Campbell
