Abstract
A storage bin includes a container portion and a two-piece lid mechanism. The two-piece lid mechanism has a front lid portion that covers the front part of the container portion and a rear lid portion that covers the rear area of the container portion. When the front lid portion is opened, the rear lid portion slides along the top surface of the front lid portion while the front lid portion fits rotatably underneath the rear lid portion in such a way that when the front lid portion and the rear lid portion are completely opened, the lid portions do not extend above the top plane surface of the two-piece lid mechanism. The storage bin may be mounted within a recess in the inner wall of a refrigerator door.
