Publication number: 20090195136Abstract: An extending vertical wall is provided that secures to the rear edge of a shelf assembly inside a refrigerator compartment. The vertical wall comprises a vertical panel with two downwardly protruding legs. The legs removably reside within sockets included in the rear edge of the refrigerator shelf assembly. When the vertical wall is attached to the refrigerator shelf assembly, the vertical wall prevents items placed on the shelf from toppling off the back edge of the shelf assembly. At the user's discretion, the vertical wall may be quickly and easily removed from the shelf assembly. In an alternative embodiment, the wall is a formed retainer having an inserted U-shape such that the legs are received in the shelf sockets.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 2, 2009Publication date: August 6, 2009Applicant: MAYTAG CORPORATIONInventors: FORREST F.

Patent number: 7070249Abstract: An improved door bucket assembly is provided for a refrigerator or freezer door. The assembly includes a bucket pivotally mounted in a retainer mounted in the door, such that the bucket is movable between an upright position and tilt-out position. The bucket is open at the top such that items stored in the bucket are accessible when the bucket is in both the upright and tilt-out positions. A stop member limits the tilt-out movement of the bucket to 30°–45°. A clip on the retainer releasably engages a tab on the bucket to prevent accidental tilt-out of the bucket during movement of the door between open and closed positions.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2004Date of Patent: July 4, 2006Assignee: Maytag CorporationInventors: Scott W.

Publication number: 20050045761Abstract: A system for automatically correcting flight path of an aircraft onto a predetermined trajectory is provided. A sensor is configured to sense speed and direction of air relative to the aircraft at a predetermined distance in front of the aircraft. A navigation system is configured to determine displacement of a flight path of the aircraft from a predetermined trajectory. A processor is coupled to receive the sensed speed and direction of air from the sensor and the displacement of the flight path from the navigation system. The processor includes a first component that is configured to determine whether the speed of the air at the predetermined distance is indicative of turbulence, and a second component that is configured to automatically generate control signals to correct the flight path of the aircraft from the displacement onto the predetermined trajectory by a time when the aircraft enters the turbulence.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2003Publication date: March 3, 2005Inventors: Mark Nugent, John Selmon
