Concealed vertical adjustment mechanism for kitchen appliance storage members
A storage member vertical adjustment mechanism for an appliance includes a concealed vertical track system that is positioned within an appliance cabinet. The vertical track system includes a retaining member and a concealing flange that extends parallel with and conceals the retaining member with an adjustment region defined therebetween. A storage member has an engagement structure that cooperatively engages the adjustment region. The engagement structure includes a laterally-extending vertical flange that engages the concealing flange and the retaining member in a vertical adjustment state and alternatively engages the retaining member in the vertically secured positions. The retaining member and the concealing flange laterally support the laterally-extending vertical flange within the adjustment region such that the engagement structure of the storage member is selectively inserted and removed from the adjustment region through one of the top and bottom receiving apertures of the adjustment region.

FURNITURE HAVING SPANS SUPPORTED BY DOWNWARDLY FLARING POSTS
At least one furniture upright vertical posts or legs inserted into at least one opening in at least one furniture horizontal span (shelf, top, frame) to retain the span horizontally. Each post diverges from its apex to its base. Each opening is bounded by interior facing walls that diverge downward to complement divergence of the post at an elevated region of the post. The retention of the span at the elevated region of the post arises because of the complementary divergence, which restricts relative movement of the span relative to the post to only allow lifting of the at least one span relative to the at least one post and prevent the span from moving sideways relative to the post at an elevation of the elevated region and prevent the span from being lowered further along the post past the elevated region.

SUSPENSION DEVICE FOR A SHELF
A suspension device comprises at least one shelf and a retaining frame, wherein the shelf has a base surface, a first side wall, a second side wall, a front wall, and a rear wall. The front wall is arranged opposite the rear wall and the first side wall is arranged opposite the second side wall, and the walls enclose the base surface. The retaining frame is configured as a profile element with a hollow profile. The retaining frame has a front side which is arranged adjacent to the rear wall of the at least one shelf, and a rear side which is arranged opposite the front side. At least one of the first or second side walls or the rear wall contains a projection which is configured to be received in a slot of the retaining frame. The at least one slot is arranged on the rear side.
