Storage System, Cover Strip, and Method for Producing a Cover Strip
The present disclosure relates to a flexible cover strip for a storage system including a carrier rail (1) having a U-shaped cross section with first and second parallel rows (3, 5) of elongated substantially identical slots (7) in a front portion to accommodate a suspension element such as e.g. a bracket. The cover strip has an abutment face (17) and an exterior face (31), and a plurality of projections (19), rising from the abutment surface of the strip in first and second parallel rows matching the slots of the carrier rail, such that the cover strip can be fitted on the front portion with the projections entering the slots, and wherein at least some of the projections are provided with a snap element (27) at their distal ends, which snap elements prevent the cover strip from falling off the rail.
Spill containing refrigerator shelf assembly
The specification discloses a method for containing spills on shelving and the like, and the resulting support members made in accordance with the method, by providing the generally flat top surface of a support with a hydrophobic surface which is arranged in a spill containment pattern and which is generally in the plane of the top surface of the support. The majority of the top surface of the support consists of one or more spill containment areas which are of a non-hydrophobic nature and which are bounded by the hydrophobic surfaces, such that spills on the shelving collect in the non-hydrophobic spill containment area or areas and are prevented from spreading by the hydrophobic surfaces.
SPACER ASSEMBLY
A spacer assembly for use in supporting and securing a first cabinet subassembly to a second cabinet subassembly to form a cabinet assembly includes a first frame member, a second frame member and a decorative cover. The first frame member extends between a top attachment end and a top non-attachment end and includes a mount having an indented ledge coupled at the top attachment end. The second frame member extends between a bottom attachment end and a bottom non-attachment end and includes a bottom plate extending from the bottom attachment end and a flange extending outwardly away from the bottom plate. The decorative cover is coupled onto the mount of the first frame member and onto the flange of the second frame member.

FURNITURE ARTICLE WITH INTERCHANGEABLE PANEL SET
Furniture, such as a bed, dresser, cabinetry has a display system affixing a stack of interchangeable decorative panels to the furniture. The display system has an overlaying panelar frame that captures the stack of panels and has at least one elongated fastener securing the overlaying panelar frame on to a surface of the furniture item. The stack of interchangeable panels are each visually different such as having different colors and/or patterns and can be sandwiched between the overlaying panelar frame and the mounting surface in a pocket to immovably maintain the interchangeable panels against the furniture component. The stack of interchangeable panels can be rearranged such that a different panel is placed on top of the stack or the outermost position and thereby be visible through the opening in the overlaying panelar frame.

Spill containing refrigerator shelf assembly
A shelf assembly includes a shelf panel and a hydrophobic surface applied in a spill containment pattern on the top surface of the shelf panel adjacent to at least one of the left side, right side, front, and rear edges. The shelf panel has a top surface for supporting articles, opposite left and right side edges, and opposite front and rear edges. The spill containment pattern defines at least a portion of a boundary of a central portion of the top surface of the shelf panel. The spill containment pattern includes an outer edge containment strip disposed adjacent to at least one of the left side, right side, front, and rear edges of the shelf panel, an inner edge containment strip spaced inward from the outer edge containment strip, and a non-hydrophobic spill catch area disposed between the outer and inner edge containment strips.
IMPACT PROTECTION DEVICE CLIP
The present invention relates to an impact protection device clip configured to locate an impact protection device about a post of a racking system. The post of such racking system includes a cross-sectional wall profile defining a chamber with an opening. The clip includes a body arranged in use to extend through said opening of the post. The body further includes first and second attachment devices for enabling attachment of the clip to the impact protection device, and at least one contact. The at least one contact is configured so that if the protection device is moved in a first direction causing a part of the protection device to be pulled generally away from the post, the contact engages against an inner face of the cross-sectional wall profile of the post so that the engagement between the contact of the clip and the post resists further movement of the protection device in the first direction.
The present invention also provides a method of preventing inadvertent removal of a clip from an impact protection device located about a pallet racking post. The post includes a cross-sectional wall profile defining a chamber with an opening, and the clip includes a body with at least one contact. The method includes the steps of: positioning the at least one contact of the clip so that the contact is received in the chamber of the post and the body extends through the opening of the post; and attaching the clip to the impact protection device so that the impact protection device is located about the post. In this way, when the impact protection device is subject to an impact or other contact that causes a part of the impact protection device to move generally away from the post, the clip is arranged to resist further movement of the impact protection device away from the post by establishing an engagement between the at least one contact of the clip and an inner face of the cross-sectional wall profile of the post.
The present invention further provides a kit including an impact protection device for a pallet racking post and at least one impact protection device clips.
Storage systems including shelves and hang rods supported beneath the shelves
A closet storage system generally includes a hang rod, a back channel, first and second side brackets, first and second shelf trims, first and second end cups, a shelf supportable by the back channel and the first and second side brackets, and at least one support bracket. The back channel is mountable along a back wall of a closet. The first and second side brackets are mountable along sidewalls of the closet. The first end cup is configured to be coupled and/or supported generally between portions of the first shelf trim and the first side bracket. The second end cup is configured to be coupled and/or supported generally between portions of the second shelf trim and the second side bracket. The hang rod is supportable beneath the shelf when first and second end portions of the hang rod are supported by the respective first and second end cups.
REFRIGERATOR
A refrigerator includes a case body, an outer door, and an inner door disposed in front of the outer door. The outer door has a front door panel that forms a facade of the outer door. The front door panel includes a cover portion, and the cover portion projects, along a length or width direction, out of a heat-insulation portion that is of the outer door and that is configured to seal the opening. The outer door further includes a protecting plate, connected to a rear surface of the cover portion and faces the inner door. The refrigerator is provided with a good appearance on the premise that good cooperation between the inner door and the outer door is ensured.
