20210212457 · 2021-07-15 ·

A method for installing a set of drawers under the counter-top in the blind corner of kitchen cabinets. The stack of drawers is attached to a rack and hung from little wheel-cars in tracks. To access any of the drawers the door of the adjacent cabinet is opened and the stack is rolled sideways into borrowed space temporarily made available there. The drawers can then be pulled open. When finished the drawers are closed and the stack rolled back. Unlike existing products, this design's mechanisms permanently occupy very little of the adjacent space, only the top 3. The rest is only borrowed. The flooring of this space is regular kitchen floor. It can be occupied by anything that can be easily moved out temporarily when corner access is needed.

Slide rail assembly and operation method thereof

A slide rail assembly includes a first rail, a second rail, a third rail, and a switching member. The second rail can be displaced with respect to the first rail and is provided with a working feature. The third rail can be displaced with respect to the second rail. The switching member is disposed on the third rail and is configured to contact the working feature when the third rail reaches a predetermined retracted position after being displaced from an extended position in a retracting direction, in order for the third rail to displace the second rail to a predetermined position in the retracting direction via the switching member.

VARIABLE CLIMATE ZONE WIRING

Provided is a refrigeration appliance including a main electrical board that controls operation of the refrigeration appliance and an adjustable temperature compartment for storing food items at a user-selectable target temperature. The adjustable temperature compartment includes a user interface connected to the main electrical board by an electric wire cable and enabling selection of user-selectable target temperature. A first end of the electric wire cable includes a removable connector connected to the user interface. The second end of the electric wire cable is connected to the main electrical board. A method for manufacturing a refrigeration appliance with an adjustable temperature compartment is also provided.

Slide arrangement for cable drawer

A drawer slide having first and second rails interconnected by a center rail. The center rail includes a spool configured to provide half-speed travel of the center rail relative to the travel of the first rail. The drawer slide is configured for use with a drawer assembly having a drawer and a chassis. The drawer assembly further includes a radius limiter secured to the center rail. The radius limiter travels at half-speed relative to the drawer. The radius limiter also automatically rotates relative to the travel of the drawer. The chassis includes sides including threaded backing plates, and mounting brackets. The mounting brackets include tri-lobed holes for receipt of a reciprocally shaped washer and a fastener for mounting the brackets to the chassis sides.
