A reversible tray for a dishwasher a reversible tray carried by the dish rack and removably disposed within the dish rack to flip between a first position and a second position.

Dishwasher with tray

A bottle support configured to interact with a shelf includes a brace, hooks, and resilient clips. The brace defines a notch configured to engage bottles disposed on the shelf. The hooks extend from the brace and are configured to engage an upper region of the shelf such that bottle holder slidably engages the shelf. The resilient clips extend downward from the hooks and are configured to snap onto a lower region of the shelf to connect the brace to the shelf. The engagement between the hooks and the shelf is configured to facilitate lateral movement of the brace. The engagement between the hooks and the shelf is configured to restrict forward and rearward movement of the brace. Engagement between the clips and the shelf is configured to restrict vertical movement of the brace.

Refrigerator appliance and corresponding shelving system

A dishwasher for treating dishes according to a cycle of operation. The dishwasher including a lower dish rack and an upper dish rack located above the lower dish rack and having an opening overlying the portion of the lower dish rack and a repositionable tray carried by the upper dish rack and movable between a first position and a second position relative to the opening.

A refrigerator shelving system includes a plate, an elongated support member, and a support brace. The plate has a front edge, a rear edge, and side edges extending between the front and rear edges. The elongated support member has a base secured to the rear edge of the plate. The elongated support member has a rail protruding upward from the base. The rail extends between the side edges of the plate. The support brace is disposed on a top of the plate. The support brace slidably engages the rail such that the support brace is slidable between the side edges. The support brace defines a notch configured to engage a bottle disposed on the top of the plate to restrict movement of the bottle.

A storage bin assembly for a refrigerator is provided. The storage bin assembly includes a base portion having opposed outer end sidewalls upwardly extending from the base portion. A flap is pivotally coupled to the opposed outer end sidewalls where the flap is configured to rotate between a closed position and an open position where the flap is positioned beneath the base portion. A top cover is coupled to a receiving slot portion of the opposing outer end sidewalls where a first magnetic member is positioned in a holding member proximate the top cover. A second magnetic member positioned in a receiving member of the flap that selectively engages the first magnetic member to define a magnetic connection.

Opening system for a storage bin assembly

A domestic refrigerator comprises a cavity (c) with side walls () provided with removable opposing supporting elements () and having guides () capable of co-operating with lateral sliders () for shelves () in order to permit the latter to be positioned at different heights. Said shelves () comprise two planar portions () articulated with one another, a first portion (), which is more extensive in the manner of a leaf, co-operating with the guides (-) with the aim of being able to assume two stable positions at different heights, a second portion () in the manner of a bracket co-operating rotatably with seats for said supporting elements so as to be able to assume a first configuration substantially coplanar with the leaf and a second configuration angled relative to the latter.
