Abstract: A laundry appliance includes a cabinet defining a front opening in a front panel. The front opening is defined by a lip having a curved edge. The lip defines a plurality of apertures spaced-apart around the front opening. A tub is disposed within the cabinet. The tub defines an access opening aligned with the front opening. A drum is disposed within the tub. A bellows assembly extends between the cabinet and the tub. The bellows assembly includes a projection coupled to the curved edge of the cabinet. A deflector has a rim and a chute wherein the chute extends toward the drum. The rim is configured to snap-fit over the projection of the bellows assembly. The rim includes a plurality of hooks where each hook is configured to extend through an aperture and interlock with the cabinet.

Abstract: An example functional member of a refrigerator, freezer or icemaker having two closing members intended to be separated by a first distance includes a structure to implement a function for the refrigerator, freezer or icemaker, and a gap gauge dimensioned for use in aligning the two closing members apart by the first distance. An example functional member is a divider, a hinge cover or a scoop having a gap gauge with a blade-shaped, an oval or a rectangular cross-section, where a dimension of the cross-section is the first distance. An example gap gauge may be further dimensioned for use in aligning one of the two closing members and a third closing members, or two additional closing members apart by a second different distance.

Abstract: A laundry appliance includes a cabinet defining an aperture in a front surface thereof. A drum is disposed within the cabinet. The drum defines an access opening that aligns with the aperture. A door is coupled to the cabinet and is operable between closed and opened positions relative to the aperture. A bellows extends along a perimeter of the aperture and proximate the access opening. A deflector extends along at least a portion of the perimeter of the aperture. The deflector extends into an interior of the drum over the bellows.

Abstract: An adjustable divider assembly for a pan, drawer or other storage unit of a refrigerator is constituted by multiple, pivotally interconnected sections which can be selectively angled relative to each other and/or varied in length to establish a desired configuration for compartmentalizing the storage unit. The adjustable divider assembly can carry various spaced magnets which are attracted to a metallic property of a support surface of the storage unit to retain the divider assembly in the desired configuration.
Abstract translation: 用于冰箱的盘，抽屉或其他存储单元的可调节分配器组件由多个可枢转地互连的部分构成，该部分可以相对于彼此选择性地成角度和/或长度变化，以建立用于分隔存储单元的期望配置。 可调分隔器组件可以承载各种间隔开的磁体，这些磁体被吸引到存储单元的支撑表面的金属性质，以将分隔器组件保持在期望的构造。
