Abstract: A refrigerator shelf translation system for a refrigerating appliance includes a movable shelf, a guide structure provided with one or more indentations, and a fixed anchoring component associated with the movable shelf and movably associated with the guide structure. The movable shelf is held in a fixed position relative to the guide structure when there is cooperation between at least one locking span of at least one anchoring component and at least one indentation of the guide structure and, on the other hand, the movable shelf may be shifted vertically relative to the guide structure when distancing from all possible locking spans of all possible anchoring components and their respective indentations of the guide structure.

Abstract: A refrigerator includes a cabinet with an adjustable wall partitioning the cabinet between first and second storage compartments. An adjustment mechanism is coupled to the adjustable wall and includes a mounting portion that is slideably coupled to an underside of the adjustable wall between fore and aft positions. A retaining mechanism is operably coupled to the mounting portion and includes a plurality of engagement features that engage like engagement features disposed on the underside of the adjustable wall. The retaining mechanism is moved to the disengaged position to allow movement of the adjustment mechanism between the fore and aft positions. The adjustment mechanism further includes support guides downwardly extending from opposite sides of the mounting portion. The support guides are slideably received in inclined channels disposed on opposite sidewalls of the cabinet between raised and lowered positions as the adjustment mechanism moves between the fore and aft positions.
