A refrigerator shelf translation system for a refrigerating appliance includes a movable shelf, a guide structure provided with one or more indentations, and a fixed anchoring component associated with the movable shelf and movably associated with the guide structure. The movable shelf is held in a fixed position relative to the guide structure when there is cooperation between at least one locking span of at least one anchoring component and at least one indentation of the guide structure and, on the other hand, the movable shelf may be shifted vertically relative to the guide structure when distancing from all possible locking spans of all possible anchoring components and their respective indentations of the guide structure.

A micro linear slide rail assembly and a slider are disclosed. The slider straddles a slide rail. A rolling member is disposed between the slide rail and the slider. The slider is linearly displaced on the slide rail by rolling of the rolling member. The slider includes a main body, a frame coupled to the main body, and two end caps connected to two opposite ends of the main body. The slider has a first unloaded track surface. The first unloaded track surface surrounds an accommodating area. A first engaging portion extends from a lower edge of the accommodating area. The frame has a second unloaded track surface. The frame is mounted to the main body through a second engaging portion to be engaged with the first engaging portion. The first unloaded track surface and the second unloaded track surface are combined to form an unloaded path.

A laundry system includes at least one laundry appliance and at least one laundry module below the laundry appliance. The laundry module has a height that is less than the height of the laundry appliance and has a drawer, a tub within the drawer, a wash chamber within the tub for receiving fabric items to be washed, and a control panel for the selection of a wash cycle.

The laundry treating apparatus further includes a feeding unit that is configured to operate the fastening units. The laundry treating apparatus further includes a driving unit that is configured to reciprocate the feeding unit along another one of the horizontal direction or the vertical direction. The laundry treating apparatus further includes an unlocking unit that is configured to restrict movement of the feeding unit to one direction.

Techniques are provided for constructing an appliance housing without the need for vertical fasteners. In one or more implementations, the structural components of an appliance housing are fashioned with a set of engagement points and slots, the engagement points and slots acting to physically arrest the structural components when assembled. Horizontal fasteners are then used to further secure the appliance housing.
