Abstract: A panel system includes a first panel and a second panel coupled together. The second panel includes a first aperture configured to hold a first support element, a second aperture configured to hold a first fastener, and a third aperture configured to hold a second fastener. A first bracket is coupled to the first panel, extends laterally outward from the first panel, and includes a fourth aperture and a fifth aperture formed therethrough. A second bracket is coupled to the first panel, extends laterally outward from the first panel, and includes a sixth aperture formed therethrough. The fourth aperture is configured to accept the first support element therethrough. The fifth aperture is configured to not accept the first fastener therethrough when the second panel is coupled to the first panel. The sixth aperture is configured to not accept the second fastener therethrough when the second panel is coupled to the first panel.

Abstract: An appliance comprises a body and a door panel and/or drawer panel movable between a home position, an open position, and an over-travel position. A cosmetic panel may be coupled to the door and/or drawer panel. The appliance may further include an installation system and/or a positioning device. The positioning device is configured to bias the door and/or drawer panels to the home position from the over-travel position. The installation system is configured to establish the front-to-back alignment of the appliance. The installation system may be a direct mount installation system. The installation system may include an adjustment system configured to facilitate positioning the cosmetic panel to be co-planar with the surrounding cabinetry. The adjustment mechanism may further help establish small and consistent reveals.

Abstract: A refrigerator comprises a body defining a refrigerated enclosure, a door movable between a closed position and an open position, a hinge comprising a first member coupled to the body and a second member coupled to the door and pivotably coupled to the first member, and a closure mechanism configured to provide a varying force to the door depending on the position of the door relative to the body. The closure mechanism includes a guide slidably mounted in a slot on the first member, a biasing mechanism coupled to the first member, and a closer arm coupled to the door and to the biasing mechanism through the guide.

Abstract: A refrigerated appliance with a hinged access panel is disclosed. The refrigerated appliance comprises a frame, the panel, and one or more hinges coupling the panel to the frame. Each hinge has a linkage that guides the movement of the panel between a closed position and an open position. The movement of the linkage has a linear component and a rotational component. The refrigerated appliance may include a latch configured to retain the panel in the open position. The refrigerated appliance may include one or more biasing elements configured to bias the panel toward the open position.

Abstract: A cantilevered storage shelf assembly for supporting a deli/crisper drawer assembly within a refrigerator having a glass panel, a pair of L-shaped steel brackets aligned on each side of the panel and a frame molded around the edges of the panel with the steel brackets encapsulated in the frame to form a unitary structure, the brackets being located in a parallel spaced relation for mating engagement with slots provided in the vertical strips in the back of the refrigerator, the drawer assembly comprising a pair of rails mounted on the frame, each rail having a tab at each end for matingly engaging the slots in the front and back of each side of the frame and a drawer slidably mounted on the rails.

Abstract: A comestible storage compartment for a refrigeration unit including a drawer slidably received in a supporting frame. The drawer is molded in the form of a tub having a bottom wall, side and end walls and a front wall lip. A front wall panel is disposed in a free standing relationship on the front wall lip approximate the forward edges of the side walls. A front wall cover is disposed over the front wall panel and is secured to the forward edges of the side walls to hold the panel on the lip.A lateral flange projects outwardly from the side walls and includes a downturned lip for defining a drawer track channel. Inwardly directed ribs extend longitudinally from the drawer frame and are disposed for spaced flow interrupting relationship with the lip on the lateral flanges.

Abstract: A door closer assembly for a household refrigerator of the type having a door frame with a front faced surface and a door having a confronting surface, the assembly including a hinge plate mounted on the door frame and having a pivot pin mounted on the hinge plate in a spaced relation to the front faced surface, a door plate mounted on the door and having an aperture spaced from the confronting surface of the door and a pivot post spaced from the aperature, the door plate being mounted on the hinge plate with the pivot pin aligned with the aperature, and an offset arm connected to the pivot post and biased by a spring in a door closing direction.

Abstract: A storage module for adjustable disposition within a cavity, bounded by opposed side walls, of a refrigerator unit. The module being secured therein by a spaced array of complimentary fixturing projections and fixturing cavities which are oriented angularly upwardly. The fixturing projections and fixturing cavities being arranged for selective mating engagement therebetween and positional restraint of the module in a predetermined location within the cavity. The fixturing projections and fixturing cavities being stabilized by a tribological interface along at least a portion of the mating surfaces between the projections and cavities to restrain the module against dislodgment forces. The projections and cavities are tapered in the plane of movement of the module of each of the projections and cavities including an upper surface disposed at a first angle in the plane and a lower surface disposed at a second angle in the plane.
