The sidewall can define four corners of the container, and four elongate recesses can be formed in the sidewall proximate the four corners of the sidewall to receive the elongate light members. The recesses can be sized and shaped to conform to the elongate insert members so that the insert members can be releasably retained within the elongate recesses.

A refrigeration device capable of chilling beverage ingredients and accessories is disclosed. The refrigeration device may include a first compartment that defines a first open top area, a second compartment that defines a second open top area, and a wall disposed between the first and second compartments. The refrigeration device may further include a controller configured to control the temperature in at least one of the first and second compartments, a temperature regulator configured to adjust a thermal communication between the first and second compartments, and a lid assembly movable between an opened and a closed position.

Provided is a movable refrigerator allowing bidirectional door opening. The refrigerator comprises a refrigerator body and a refrigerator door, wherein the refrigerator door is detachably connected to the refrigerator body; door frames are provided at four corners of the refrigerator body, and convex door columns are fixedly provided at the door frames; mounting grooves are provided at two ends of one side of the refrigerator door, and accommodating grooves are provided at two ends of the corresponding side; and limiting protrusions are provided in the mounting grooves, and the door columns are clamped between the mounting grooves and the limiting protrusions, so that the refrigerator body and the refrigerator door are rotatably connected, and the door columns on the opposite sides are accommodated in the accommodating grooves. By providing the door columns on the front side and the rear side of the refrigerator body and also providing the mounting grooves and the accommodating grooves on the refrigerator door, the refrigerator door can be mounted on any lateral surface on the front side or the rear side, it is easy to detach the refrigerator door from the refrigerator body, and a user can change the opening direction of the refrigerator door at any time, thereby overcoming the defect of one-side door opening.

A lock box system includes a bottom base. A rear section extends upwards from the base. A side wall cover removably abuts against a perimeter of the base and opposing sides of the rear section. The cover is pivotally attached to an upper portion of the rear section. A locking mechanism is operable to lock the cover to the rear section. A top lid is sized to removably fit over the cover. The lid is pivotally attached to the upper portion of the rear section. The base, rear section, cover and lid define an interior of the lock box system, which is sized to receive packages. The lid is operable to pivotally open automatically to receive a package within the interior. The locking mechanism is operable to unlock automatically to enable the cover to pivotally open to allow a user access to the package within interior.

A refrigerator appliance includes a cabinet defining multiple food storage chambers which are operable at distinct temperatures. The refrigerator appliance includes a cabinet comprising a plurality of insulated mullions. The insulated mullions at least partially define a fresh food chamber, a freezer chamber, a convertible chamber, and a plenum. The refrigerator appliance also includes a first damper selectively providing fluid communication between the fresh food chamber and the plenum, a second damper selectively providing fluid communication between the freezer chamber and the plenum, and a fan disposed between the convertible chamber and the plenum. The fan is configured to force air from the plenum into the convertible chamber.

A container apparatus can include a container and an insert assembly. The insert assembly can include four elongate members. The four elongate members can include light emitting devices for illuminating the interior of the container and/or temperature altering elements for cooling and/or heating the interior of the container. The container can have a rectangular base and a rectangular sidewall extending upwardly from the base. The sidewall can define four corners of the container, and four elongate recesses can be formed in the sidewall proximate the four corners of the sidewall to receive the elongate light members. The recesses can be sized and shaped to conform to the elongate insert members so that the insert members can be releasably retained within the elongate recesses.

A refrigerated merchandising storage unit for display and sale of foodstuff or the like is disclosed including a storage compartment having an essentially rectangular top opening, the storage unit further includes a cover including a plurality of lids for being arranged displaceably for opening the storage unit and a rail system with two or more mounted rails arranged between two opposite sides of the opening. Each rail includes a number of elongated and generally U-shaped tracks wherein each of the lids are arranged to be mounted between a first and a second rail adjacent to one another. The first rail includes a first track and the second rail includes a second track, and the rails are arranged such that the lid can be mounted by displacing an edge of the lid inside the first track until the opposite edge of the lid can be inserted inside the second track. The storage unit further includes a retainer arrangement provided near the first track or the second track and the lid for retaining the lid in that track. The retainer arrangement includes a latch fixed to the lid and a protrusion fixed to that track, the latch and the protrusion being arranged such that when lateral extraction forces are applied to the lid in a direction away from the track, the latch and the protrusion are forced into abutment producing a holding force so that a separation of the lid and the track is prevented.

A knockdown cooler with a number of removable chilling panels that cool an interior cavity of the cooler without exposing the contents therein to contact with unhygienic ice or water is provided. A collapsible storage member is positioned atop one or more structural support members to suspend the storage member in the chilling cavity, providing exposure to prolonged cooling impetus, a duration that may be prolonged if desired by removing and replacing one or more of the chilling panels without disrupting the contents of the cooler. A method of cooling items such as food, beverages, or the like without exposing the same to unhygienic ice or water in a knockdown cooler that can be assembled or disassembled without tools, mechanical fasteners, or adhesives is also provided.

A furniture cooler combination device facilitates discrete storage of items in a cooler positioned on a deck, porch, or in a sitting area. The device includes a box positioned beneath a lid. The insulated box has a bottom wall and a peripheral wall coupled to and extending up from the bottom wall. A distal edge of the peripheral wall relative to the bottom wall defines an open top of the box. An exterior surface of the peripheral wall is structured to resemble a plurality of legs and panels. Each panel has an outer face inset relative an associated outside face of each of the legs wherein the exterior surface is configured to resemble furniture.
