A refrigerator includes a water system and a valve. The water system is configured to direct water to a dispenser or an ice maker. The valve includes a valve body, an inlet port, and a clutch. The valve is configured to connect the water system to a water source. The inlet port is configured to receive a tube to establish fluid communication with the water source and to engage a nut to secure the tube to the inlet port. The clutch is disposed between the inlet port and the valve body and is configured to slip in response to an applied torque to the inlet port exceeding a threshold.

A refrigerator includes a lift that moves a container upward and downward. The refrigerator may include: a cabinet having a storage chamber provided therein and an opening; at least one door provided such that a front of the storage chamber provided in the cabinet is opened and closed; a cooling device cooling the storage chamber; the lift provided at a side of the storage chamber to fold downward and unfold upward so as to move the container upward and downward; and an anti-loosening device provided at a side of the lift and allowing the lift to rotate relative to a front end thereof when the lift is removed upward so as to maintain a folded state of the lift.

An organizer system for an ice cooler, ice chest or the like includes multiple trays of different heights that can be supported within a body of the ice cooler. The trays having different heights define multiple height compartments within the ice cooler, thereby enable different items such as cans, bottles, etc., to be stored with enhanced space efficiency. The trays each have dividing walls that define handles thereby enabling the trays to be removed from the ice cooler. The trays may be supported by a shelf within the ice cooler, or by an additional insert provided in the cooler. The insert may have sidewalls that abut the walls of the ice cooler. Cutouts may be provided in the insert sidewalls to enable drainage. The trays may also have openings for allowing cool air to circulate and to allow liquids to drain out of the trays. The openings may be positioned on the walls, bottom or both.

A crate includes a base and a plurality of walls extending upward from the base. A plurality of ventilation channels are formed in the base. The ventilation channels project upward relative to an upper support surface of the base. The ventilation channels include apertures therethrough.

An injection device storage container includes a case configured to contain at least one injection device for delivering a medicament; and a hanger arrangement coupled to the case and configured to suspend the case from a supporting wall; wherein the case includes an upper panel having an opening formed therein through which the at least one injection device can be dispensed, and wherein the opening is arranged such that, when the case is suspended from the supporting wall, the at least one injection device is dispensed in a horizontal orientation through the opening.

The disclosure features various embodiments and aspects of containers and related systems for quenching contents of the containers.

A refrigerator may include a rack gear assembly provided on a lower surface of a drawer. The rack gear assembly may have a first rack member and a second rack member that are pushed out by being moved forward sequentially so that a pushing-out distance of the drawer is maximized and the drawer is fully closed even when opposite sides thereof are pushed in a storage chamber without being in parallel.

An article storage and dispensing apparatus and method in which articles made by series production are distributed from an article supplier into a storage compartment of predetermined dimensions for storage of articles in front and rear rows of article storage positions. An article distributor in the storage compartment has a carriage, a carriage drive which is configured to drive the carriage in a reversible horizontal carriage drive direction across at least part of the width of the storage compartment, and an article support mounted on the carriage and configured to receive articles from the article supplier above the support when the carriage is in a start position. An article dispenser is associated with the article support to dispense articles selectively in opposite horizontal dispensing directions transverse to the carriage drive direction off the front and rear ends of the support to drop into front and rear article rows.
