Abstract: A bracket system for coupling an appliance to a cabinet structure includes a mounting bracket having an inner wall spaced-apart from an outer wall and a plurality of apertures is provided through the outer wall. The inner wall couples to the outer surface of the appliance in assembly. A trim member includes first and second mounting portions and an abutment portion inwardly offset from the first and second mounting portions. The first and second mounting portions each include a plurality of apertures disposed therethrough. An inner surface of the first mounting portion abuts the outer wall of the mounting bracket, such that the apertures disposed therebetween are aligned. The second mounting portion includes a plurality of apertures disposed therethrough, and an outer surface of the second mounting portion is configured to abut the inner surface of the cabinet compartment for mounting thereto.

Abstract: A support assembly for a vacuum insulated structure includes a base plate that has a perimeter support surface and centrally defines an aperture. The base plate includes fasteners that extend outwardly from the base plate. Base rails each include a support body that has a first attachment flange, a second attachment flange, and a mounting wall that is operably coupled to the support body. The first attachment flange and the second attachment flange operably couple each of the base rails to the base plate. A front plate is operably coupled to the mounting wall of each of the base rails. A machine plate is operably coupled to each of the first attachment flange and the second attachment flange of each of the base rails proximate to the base plate.

Abstract: An adjustable refrigeration rack system may include a pair of parallel shafts arranged on a rear interior cabinet side of a refrigerator, a plurality of pairs of attachment mechanisms, each attachment mechanisms having one attachment mechanism arranged on one rail, and another arranged at equal height on the other rail, the attachment mechanisms configured to hold a shelf and selectively engage the respective shafts, and a drive mechanism configured to drive the shafts vertically, wherein movement of the shafts causes movement of the shelf arranged on the attachment mechanisms selectively engaged with the shafts, but not movement of a shelf arranged on the attachment mechanisms unattached to the shafts.

Abstract: An appliance mounting assembly includes a mounting bracket with first and second distal arms that flare outward in opposing directions from an attachment body and couple to a panel. The mounting bracket includes a pair of coupling members that extend from the attachment body toward the panel surface and distal ends that curve inward toward one another. A self-clinching nut has an undercut, serrated clinching ring, and base. The undercut and the serrated clinching ring are disposed within an aperture defined by the attachment body. A ladder rack has first and second sides coupled via an attachment wall. The first and second sides define protrusions that engage the pair of coupling members in an interference fit. The attachment wall defines a receiving hole that aligns with the aperture. A threaded fastener extends through the receiving hole and engages the self-clinching nut to fasten the ladder rack to the mounting bracket.

Abstract: A cabinet of an appliance includes an outer wrapper defining opposing first and second sidewalls, a rear wall coupling the first and second sidewalls and an access opening and an inner liner defining an interior. The outer wrapper and the inner liner may define a sealed insulating cavity therebetween that is under vacuum. A plurality of reinforcement brackets may be disposed on the outer wrapper. The plurality of reinforcement brackets are configured to prevent deformation of the cabinet during application of the vacuum to the insulating cavity.
