CRISPER ASSEMBLY WITH SLIDE OUT SHELF
A refrigerator appliance includes a storage compartment having a crisper assembly disposed therein. The crisper assembly includes a drawer, a lid, and a shelf. The lid is fixed to the storage compartment and remains stationary therewith. The drawer and the shelf are each configured to be extended or retracted relative to the storage compartment and are provided in a stacked arrangement. The lid seals the drawer when the drawer is in the retracted position.
Household appliance
A household appliance has a main body, a chamber with an opening, and a drawer door closing the chamber. A support mechanism is connected between the drawer door and the main body. A cable extends between the main body and the drawer door and a guidance mechanism guides the cable and moves with the drawer door. The guidance mechanism includes a bendable member that moves along a moving path including a bent portion. A limiting mechanism limits the bendable member to move within the moving path and a preset error range. A structure of a component surrounding the guidance mechanism in the household appliance is improved, so that a moving track of the guidance mechanism can be guided and limited when the guidance mechanism moves as the drawer door moves. This helps the guidance mechanism and the cable move through an expected track.
FLAGMAN TRAFFIC GESTURE RECOGNITION
A vehicle and a system and method of operating the vehicle based on a gesture made by a traffic director. The system includes a camera and at least one neural network. The camera obtains an image of a flag operator. The at least one neural network is to generates an encoded hand vector based on a configuration of a hand of the traffic director from the image, combines a skeleton of the traffic director generated from the image and the encoded hand vector to generate a representation vector, and predicts a gesture of the traffic director from the representation vector.
Shelf with electrical connectivity
A shelf includes a shelf support plate, an insulator formed at least partially of a first electrically insulating material, a first fastener, a second fastener and a shelf brace. The shelf support plate, the first fastener, the second fastener, and the shelf brace are formed at least partially of electrically conductive material. The shelf support plate includes a first aperture wall. The insulator includes second and third aperture walls. The shelf brace includes a brace plate, a shelf hook that extends from the brace plate, and a fourth aperture wall through the shelf brace. The insulator mounts between the shelf support plate and the shelf brace using the first fastener inserted into the first and second aperture walls and the second fastener inserted into the fourth and third aperture walls. The shelf hook connects to an electrical connector to provide current to the shelf brace.
Drawer gasket seal assembly
A drawer assembly of a refrigerator includes a gasket assembly having a base portion with opposed first and second sides. A mounting portion extends outwardly from the first side of the base portion, and a contact lobe outwardly extends from the second side of the base portion. The contact lobe includes a body portion comprised of a first material having an outer surface with one or more ribs comprised of a second material that is less rigid than the first material. The one or more ribs extend outwardly from the outer surface of the body portion of the contact lobe and are configured to seal against a textured front surface of a cabinet structure of the refrigerator.
DRAWER GASKET SEAL ASSEMBLY
A drawer assembly of a refrigerator includes a gasket assembly having a base portion with opposed first and second sides. A mounting portion extends outwardly from the first side of the base portion, and a contact lobe outwardly extends from the second side of the base portion. The contact lobe includes a body portion comprised of a first material having an outer surface with one or more ribs comprised of a second material that is less rigid than the first material. The one or more ribs extend outwardly from the outer surface of the body portion of the contact lobe and are configured to seal against a textured front surface of a cabinet structure of the refrigerator.
REFRIGERATOR
A refrigerator includes: a cabinet defining a first storage space, a door including a drawer part that defines a second storage space inside the first storage space and a door part that is mounted on a front surface of the drawer part to open and close the second storage space, a door gasket sealing a gap between the cabinet and the door, a draw-out motor configured to provide a driving force for a drawing out operation of the door, and a controller configured to control the draw-out motor. The controller is configured to count a number of rotations of the draw-out motor for a set period of time based on the draw-out motor being started for opening of the door according to received input, and stop and re-operate, based on a draw-out distance of the door being shorter than a set distance, the draw-out motor.
Shelf light assembly
A shelf light assembly is provided that includes a trim configured to mount to a shelf, a light assembly including a plurality of lights, a first end cap housing, and a second end cap housing. The light assembly is mounted to the trim. The first end cap housing is mounted to the trim on a first side of the light assembly. The second end cap housing is mounted to the trim on a second side of the light assembly. The first side is opposite the second side. The first end cap housing is attached to the first side of the light assembly. An expansion gap is located between the second end cap housing and the second side of the light assembly to support movement of the light assembly relative to the second end cap housing longitudinally along the trim.
REFRIGERATOR
Provided is a refrigerator including a supporting projection to reduce noise created from a rack. The refrigerator includes an outer case, an inner case arranged inside the outer case to define a storeroom, a rack removably arranged in the storeroom, a projection protruding from a side of the inner case, on which to put a side end of the rack, and at least one side supporting projection forming a separation space between the side of the inner case and a side of the rack to prevent the side of the rack from contacting the side of the inner case, wherein the side supporting projection includes a rack contact portion arranged between the side of the rack and the side of the inner case and formed into a curved plane to reduce an area of contact with the side of the rack.
Apparatus for emptying and filling horizontal freezers and freezing system with apparatus for filling and emptying horizontal freezers
An apparatus for emptying and filling horizontal freezers, which includes a first and a second chain actuator, the chain actuators being arranged parallel to each other and parallel to an y axis, the chain actuators having first and second ends, a sliding beam arranged between the first and second chain actuators nearby, or at, the first end of the first and second chain actuators, and a feeding arrangement for retracting the first and second chain actuators from an extended configuration to a collapsed configuration and for extending the chain actuators from a collapsed configuration to an extended configuration.
