Abstract: A vacuum insulated appliance includes an outer wrapper and an inner liner. A ladder rack is coupled to the inner liner. The ladder rack includes first and second sidewalls coupled together by a connecting wall that defines a plurality of apertures. An adapter member includes a hook configured to extend through an aperture of the plurality of apertures when coupled to the ladder rack. The adapter member is coupled with a locking member that engages inner surface of first and second sidewalls of the ladder rack. A cantilever support is coupled to the adapter member and extends outward from the ladder rack. A rail assembly is coupled to an upper surface of the cantilever support. A spacer is coupled to an end of the cantilever support and abuts an inner liner surface. A storage feature is coupled to the rail assembly and is operable between stowed and deployed positions.

Abstract: A refrigerator includes a refrigerated compartment and a door configured to selectively seal the refrigerated compartment. A drawer assembly is mounted in the refrigerated compartment. The drawer assembly includes a glide and a drawer. The glide has a glide rail movable relative to the refrigerated compartment and a glide endcap directly coupled to the glide rail. The drawer has a front wall, a rear wall, a bottom wall, opposing side walls and a retaining clip. The retaining clip is directly coupled to the glide endcap. The retaining clip and the glide endcap prevent the drawer from moving vertically relative to the glide rail.
