Touch switches are integrated with thermoformable, injection molded, and other substrates to yield integrated touch switch/control panel assemblies. The ensuant assemblies can include ridges, depressions, anchors, overlaps, rivets and bezels or other housings. They can have any combination of flat and curved surfaces. Further, such assemblies can be incorporated into components of other assemblies, such as automobiles.

Adjustable refrigerator shelving includes a shelf rail for supporting a partial width shelf within a refrigerated compartment on first and second, spaced shelf tracks vertically oriented in the compartment. The tracks releasably engage with a number of support brackets for cantilevered support of one or more shelves at a plurality of vertically spaced locations. The shelf rail is adapted for releasable engagement with the shelf tracks and is interposed between the partial shelf and the shelf tracks for horizontally adjustable support of the partial shelf. The shelf rail includes rearwardly projecting hooks at each of two opposing ends for releasable engagement with the shelf tracks. Locking tabs may be included on the hooks to retain the shelf rail on the tracks, while a rub strip is provided between the partial shelf and the shelf rail, along a top edge of the shelf rail.

A molded refrigerator shelf useful for containment of spills on the shelf includes a planar shelf member with a rim molded around the perimeter edge of the shelf member to form a liquid tight seal between the rim and the shelf member. The molded rim projects above the top surface of the shelf member to form a liquid dam for containing spills to the shelf member. In one form, the shelf is slideably mounted to allow horizontal extension of the shelf and convenient access to the rear portion of the shelf using slide guides molded into the rim along each side of the shelf. The shelf is cantilevered upon support brackets from the rear wall of a refrigerator to allow air flow around the shelf sides. The support brackets are adapted to support the shelf at a plurality of vertical positions.
