A counterweight assembly for counteracting vibrations or other forces in an appliance or machine includes a body and a funnel coupled to the body. The body includes an outer surface and an inner surface that defines an internal cavity that is adapted to receive a heavy aggregate material to form a counterweight. The funnel extends outwardly from the body and is adapted to deliver the heavy aggregate material to the internal cavity of the body.

Counterweight assembly and method of manufacturing the same

An oven rack assembly () includes an oven rack () and a slide system (). The slide system () includes slide devices () positioned at opposing sides of the oven rack (). A subframe () is positioned below the slide devices (). Retention/release devices () are mounted on the slide devices () and are manually operable by a user so as to selectively retain the subframe () in a stationary position or, alternatively, release the subframe () so that the subframe () can be removed from the oven (').

Oven rack assemblies with release mechanisms and catches

An oven rack assembly () can be used with an oven (') having sets of liner ribs (). The oven rack assembly () includes an oven rack (), slide system () and subframe (). The oven rack assembly () also includes a retention/release assembly () for facilitating retention of a position of the subframe () onto liner ribs () and for facilitating release of the subframe () when a user wishes to remove or move the assembly () from the oven. Attachment plates () can also be included, with the plates () mounted to side stampings (). The oven rack assembly () also includes protruding forms () on the subframe () which interact with forms () positioned along the liner ribs () to prevent tipping of the subframe () when the oven rack () is moved to an extended position.

A shelf assembly () in a refrigerator () includes a refrigerator shelf (). Also included is a cantilever frame () to slidably support the shelf (). The shelf assembly () includes a left side hanger set () extending rearwardly from the cantilever frame (). A right side rear bracket extension () extends directly to the right from the right end and the rear portion of the cantilever frame (). The rear bracket extension () provides for an offset of the refrigerator shelf () from one side of the refrigerator (). The offset provides that when the shelf () is extended forwardly, the front end of the shelf () will not be interfered with by any portion of the refrigerator door when the door is in an open position.

A space-efficient workroom organization system comprising a slotwall panel and/or slot track storage system with at least one repositionable slotwall or slot track mounted storage cabinet, and a workbench system comprising a workbench having a work surface and defining a storage recess beneath the work surface, with at least one mobile storage cabinet.

Workroom storage system

A space-efficient workroom organization system comprising a slotwall panel with at least one repositionable slotwall-mounted storage cabinet, and a workbench system comprising a workbench having a work surface and defining a storage recess beneath the work surface, with at least one mobile storage cabinet.

A slotwall panel storage system has a slotwall panel with a plurality of generally 'T' shaped slots forming a plurality of generally 'T' shaped slats and a hanger bracket for removably mounting a device on the slotwall panel. The hanger bracket includes a support portion, a first generally &#x201c;J&#x201d; shaped hook on one edge of the support portion and a second generally &#x201c;J&#x201d; shaped hook on an opposite edge of the support portion. A hook or storage device is attached to the support portion of the hanger bracket.

Slotwall panel storage system

A refrigerator freezer having an upper refrigerator compartment and a lower below freezing freezer compartment. The upper compartment can be a convertible compartment selectively operable by the user as an above freezing refrigerator compartment or as a below freezing freezer compartment. The evaporator for supplying refrigerated air is located in the upper compartment along with an auxiliary heater and upper compartment thermostat to control the temperature in the upper compartment. A control discharges an amount of refrigerated air to the upper compartment for refrigerator operation and a larger amount of refrigerated air for freezer operation. The control also energizes the auxiliary heater under control of the upper compartment thermostat during refrigerator operation to assure above freezing temperatures in the upper compartment. A low ambient heater can be provided for the upper compartment for use of the refrigerator freezer in low ambient temperature conditions such as an unheated garage.
