Patent number: 11525624Abstract: A refrigerator includes a housing defining an interior compartment with an open side and a door rotatably coupled with the housing. The door includes a liner defining an outer attachment surface and an opposite inner surface. The attachment surface includes a plurality of indicia corresponding with a plurality of predetermined attachment locations along the attachment surface. The door further includes a plurality of first magnetic components adjacent the interior surface and aligned with respective ones of the indicia. The refrigerator further includes a storage component defining a mounting surface having an area smaller than the attachment surface. The storage component includes a second magnetic component selectively releasably attachable to the liner at a selected one of the predetermined attachment locations by mutual attraction between the first magnetic component corresponding with the selected one of the predetermined attachment locations and the second magnetic component.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2020Date of Patent: December 13, 2022Assignee: Whirlpool CorporationInventors: Pasquale Ciniello, Kamil El Sayed, Marek Gorzelanczyk, Piotr Grzyb, Roberto Riccardi

Patent number: 11187452Abstract: A refrigerator includes a housing defining an interior compartment with an open side and a door rotatably coupled with the housing and selectively closing at least a portion of the open side. The door includes a door liner having a plurality of mounting members mounted thereto. The mounting members are foamed-in place by an interconnection with an insulation material provided in an inner cavity of the door. The mounting members further include mounting plates extending outwardly from an outer surface of the door liner. The refrigerator further includes a storage compartment system comprised of multiple interconnecting modules that are removeably mounted to the mounting plates of the mounting members. The interconnecting modules can be reconfigured to provide multiple arrangements of storage compartments supported on the door.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2020Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: Whirlpool CorporationInventors: Kamil El Sayed, Marek Gorzelanczyk, Wojciech Klupa

Patent number: 10753674Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2019Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignee: Whirlpool CorporationInventors: Jakub Brzezina, Marek Gorzelanczyk, Maurizio Valle, Alberto Galizia, Karolina Rubaszewska
