A rack system for an appliance is provided. The rack system includes a door link, a first coupler link, a first rack, a bracket, a second coupler link, and a second rack. The door link is attached to an appliance door. The first coupler link is attached to the door link and connected to the first rack. The bracket is attached to either the first rack or the second rack. The second coupler link is attached to the bracket at one of the sites for attachment and connected to whichever one of either the first or second racks to which the bracket is not attached. The linear movement of the first and second racks can be non-staggered or staggered depending on the attachment site of the bracket to which the second coupler link is attached.

Rack system for an appliance

A leveling leg for an appliance is provided, including a main shaft and a foot coupled to the main shaft. A recess extends at least partially into the foot and includes an opening through a bottom surface of the foot. A ball is adapted to be received within the recess. The opening substantially surrounds at least a portion of the ball and is configured to inhibit removal of the ball from the recess. In one example, the ball is adapted to be received within the recess by a snap-fit engagement with the at least one arm. In another example, a plurality of arms are at least partially disposed within the recess and cooperate at one end thereof to engage the ball at an area below a great circle of the ball to inhibit removal of the ball from the recess.

A light fixture () is provided having a housing (), a light diffusor (), a light source (), and a heating source (). The housing includes a mounting plate () adapted to be mounted to the ceiling of a structure in conventional fashion. The mounting plate includes a radial array of mounting arms () which form air intake openings () therebetween. The mounting plate is coupled to a tubular flow channel () having a central passage () extending therethrough. The bottommost portion of the flow channel includes threaded neck (). A threaded locking plate () rotatably mates with the threaded neck. The locking plate includes a radial array of exhaust openings () extending therethrough. The heat source includes a heating element () and a motorized fan ().

A ceiling fan blade is disclosed that is twisted rather than flat and has a graduated dihedral. The dihedral is provided for a wider distribution of divergence of air in the space beneath the fan. The blade () is demarked to have three sections which include a mounting section () and two airflow sections () and (). The two airflow sections () and () are twisted with the rate of twist from the root end to the tip end being nonuniform. The twist or ratio of the degree increase in the angle of attack over each inch in length deceases from root end to the tip end.

An electrical connector within a tubular structure is disclosed which includes a pole () having a tubular bottom portion () and a tubular top portion (). The bottom portion has a top connecting end () having a narrowed neck () with a large notch (). The pole top portion has a bottom connecting end () having an internal diameter sized to receive the neck of the bottom portion. The pole top portion also has a window () therein. A cover plate () is configured to be mounted over the window. The structure also includes an electrical cord () which provides an electrical current to a device coupled to the pole. The electrical cord has a first portion () terminating with a female electrical coupler or connector () and a second portion terminating with a male electrical coupler (). The male coupler or connector is configured to be received within the female coupler.
