Abstract: A bin assembly for use within a refrigeration appliance includes a substrate defining a compartment including a central portion, a first lateral portion, and a second lateral portion. A cavity is formed within each lateral portion. A locking member is configured to extend through an opening defined in an exterior wall of each lateral portion. The locking member includes a flange protruding perpendicularly from the locking member. A cover is secured to the locking member and the substrate, and inhibits rotation of the locking member. A rotatable member is coupled to the locking member and configured to move the bin between a stowed position and a deployed position.

Abstract: A refrigerator shelf assembly includes a frame having a depth and a first support element extending along the depth and defining a first track open in a lateral direction perpendicular to the depth. The support element further defines a first open area along a first side of the track and extending between an adjacent portion of the track and an exterior of the first support element and a cantilever arm having a free end adjacent the first open area. The cantilever arm is resiliently deformable away from a plane defined along the first side of the track. The assembly further includes an insert slidably received within the track and moveable along the depth of the first track through a fixed range of motion, wherein the insert is disposed over an expanse of the first open area.
