Trim assembly for an appliance shelf
An appliance includes a cabinet that has an inner surface. A frame is coupled to the inner surface of the cabinet. The frame includes a frame boss that extends from a bottom surface thereof. A panel is positioned within the frame. The frame extends along a perimeter of the panel. An inner trim member has a flange that extends therefrom. The flange defines an aperture configured to align with the frame boss. A fastener is configured to extend through the aperture and engage the frame boss to couple the inner trim member with the frame. An outer trim member is disposed over the inner trim member. The inner trim member is configured to slidably receive the outer trim member.
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.
Storage systems including back channels and walls mountable along the back channels
An exemplary storage system generally includes at least one back channel mountable along a support surface (e.g., a back wall of a closet, etc.). At least one wall or panel of the storage system is mountable (e.g., via a connector, etc.) along the back channel. The storage system may also generally include one or more of a hang rod, side bracket, shelf trim, end cup, support bracket, and/or shelf. The shelf may be supportable by the back channel, a pair of side brackets, and at least one support bracket. The side brackets may be mountable along sidewalls of the closet and/or to the at least one wall of the storage system that is mountable along the back channel. The hang rod may supportable beneath the shelf when first and second end portions of the hang rod are supported by respective first and second end cups.
CONNECTING ELEMENT FOR A PIECE OF FURNITURE, PLUG-IN SYSTEM COMPRISING SUCH A CONNECTING ELEMENT AND METHOD OF ASSEMBLING A PIECE OF FURNITURE
Connecting element for a piece of furniture for connecting a first furniture component, for example a side wall, to a second furniture component extending obliquely to the first furniture component, for example a shelf support or a shelf, without additional material-locking means and without additional fastening means, including: a first functional section for a first snap-in device which, in the assembled state, forms a first form-fit of the connecting element with the first furniture component, a second functional section for a second snap-in device which, in the assembled state, forms a second form fit of the connecting element with the second furniture component, a receiving area in which, in the assembled state, a section of the second furniture component is received, and a third functional section for a third snap-in device which, in the assembled state, forms a third form fit of the connecting element with a cladding element which covers the receiving area at least partially, preferably completely, towards a visible side of the piece of furniture, and/or a fourth functional section for a fourth snap-in device which, in the assembled state, fixes a rear wall of the piece of furniture.
Moldable Sink Insert Assembly
A moldable sink insert assembly includes a gasket that is comprised of a moldable material to conform to a sink opening in a stone countertop. Additionally, the gasket is comprised of a thermoformable material to precisely conform to the sink opening. The gasket is comprised of a deformable material to inhibit a sink positioned in the sink opening from damaging the stone countertop. A heat source is included for emitting heated air outwardly therefrom. The heat source is in thermal communication with the gasket when the heat source is positioned within a minimum distance from the gasket. In this way the gasket can be thermoformed to facilitate the gasket to be shaped to conform to the sink opening.
STORAGE SYSTEMS INCLUDING BACK CHANNELS AND WALLS MOUNTABLE ALONG THE BACK CHANNELS
An exemplary storage system generally includes a least one back channel mountable along a support surface (e.g., a back wall of a closet, etc.). At least one wall or panel of the storage system is mountable (e.g., via a connector, etc.) along the back channel. The storage system may also generally include one or more of a hang rod, side bracket, shelf trim, end cup, support bracket, and/or shelf. The shelf may be supportable by the back channel, a pair of side brackets, and at least one support bracket. The side brackets may be mountable along sidewalls of the closet and/or to the at least one wall or the storage system that is mountable along the back channel. The hang rod may supportable beneath the shelf when first and second end portions of the hang rod are supported by respective first and second end cups.
Trim assembly for an appliance shelf
An appliance includes a cabinet that has an inner surface. A frame is coupled to the inner surface of the cabinet. The frame includes a frame boss that extends from a bottom surface thereof. A panel is positioned within the frame. The frame extends along a perimeter of the panel. An inner trim member has a flange that extends therefrom. The flange defines an aperture configured to align with the frame boss. A fastener is configured to extend through the aperture and engage the frame boss to couple the inner trim member with the frame. An outer trim member is disposed over the inner trim member. The inner trim member is configured to slidably receive the outer trim member.
WOODEN BUMPER ASSEMBLY
A bumper assembly includes an elongate shell formed of a wooden material and an elongate base. The elongate shell has an inner surface, an outer surface, a first shell edge, and a first flange protruding from the first shell edge in a direction toward the inner surface of the elongate shell. The elongate base includes a base body including a first base edge and a first latching element extending from the first base edge of the base body, the first latching element having a first inclined outer surface and a first shoulder. The elongate base is configured for insertion into the elongate shell with the first flange engaging the first shoulder of the first latching element.

Multi-directional impact protection with magnitude and direction indicator
An apparatus for protecting against a multi-directional impact, includes a body with a first set of radial segments, where the body is coupled to an object such that the first set of radial segments extend beyond a planar surface of the object. The apparatus further includes a first radial segment of the first set of radial segments having a diameter greater than a second radial segment of the first set of radial segments. The apparatus further includes a first notch of the first set of radial segments separating the first radial segment and the second radial segment having a concave edge, wherein the first radial segment and the second radial segment each extend beyond the concave edge of the first notch of the first set of radial segments.
