Abstract: An adjustable shelf system for a household appliance includes at least one shelf assembly having at least one support structure, wherein each support structure of the shelf assembly includes upper and lower coupling elements outwardly extending from the support structures. A track member is coupled to a sidewall of an internal compartment of the appliance. The track member includes an outer surface with at least one longitudinal channel disposed therein. The longitudinal channel further includes a plurality of spaced-apart receiving notches disposed along a vertical length the channel. The upper and lower coupling elements of the support structures are configured to be received in the longitudinal channels of the track members and nested within the receiving notches thereof.

Abstract: A storage compartment for a refrigerator includes a base portion and first and second sidewalls spaced-apart from one another and upwardly extending from the base portion. A support member interconnects the inner and outer sidewalls. A door is pivotally coupled to the first and second sidewalls between open and closed positions, wherein the door further includes one or more inwardly extending retaining struts having upwardly extending tabs. The upwardly extending tabs abut an undersurface of the interconnecting support member when the door is in the closed position.

Abstract: A compartment assembly for a refrigerator includes a housing subassembly defining a generally enclosed area, an air outlet in fluid communication with the enclosed area, and a divider unit separating the enclosed area into first and second compartments. The divider unit includes a central wall aligned with the air outlet and exposing respective portions of the air outlet to the first and second compartments. A flap is disposed within the air outlet and is rotatable about an articulation point aligned with respect to the central wall and with a body of the flap extending in an upstream direction within the air outlet. A control element is mounted external to the enclosed area and is operably coupled with the flap to drive rotation thereof.
