Mechanism for appliance drawer

A refrigerator drawer assembly comprising:

• a drawer body defining a receptacle;
• a rail integral with a sidewall of the drawer body and extending in a first direction between a rear wall of the drawer body and a front wall of the drawer body, wherein the rail defines a channel;
• a first stop integral with the sidewall of the drawer body;
• a first roller disposed between an end of the rail and the rear wall of the drawer body;
• an end cap configured to be fixed to an inner liner of a refrigerator and including an inner wall configured to be arranged substantially parallel to the sidewall of the drawer body;
• a track extending from the inner wall and including,
• an upper portion and a lower portion, wherein the upper portion and the lower portion each extend substantially in the first direction;
• and
• a second roller fixed to the inner wall of the end cap and configured to rotate, wherein as the drawer body is moved in an opening direction towards a fully open position, the channel is configured to move along the second roller as the second roller rotates, and wherein when the drawer assembly is disposed in the fully open position, the first stop engages the second roller to prevent the drawer body from moving in the first direction beyond the fully open position, wherein the first stop is formed by a number of protrusions extending from the sidewall of the drawer body and disposed within the channel.

A refrigerator comprising:

• an inner liner including a first lateral wall, a second lateral wall, and a rear wall extending therebetween, wherein the inner liner forms a refrigerated compartment the first lateral wall and the second lateral wall are spaced apart from one another in a lateral direction and the rear wall is spaced apart from a front portion of the refrigerated compartment in a depth direction;
• an end cap assembly fixed to the inner liner and including:
• an inner wall;
• a track integral to the inner wall and including an upper portion and a lower portion each extending in the depth direction;
• a first roller rotatably fixed to the inner wall;
• a drawer body defining a receptacle and configured to move in the depth direction;
• a rail integral with a sidewall of the drawer body and extending in in the depth direction and defining a channel, wherein the channel is configured to receive at least portions of the first roller;
• and
• a second roller rotatably fixed to the sidewall of the drawer body, wherein the lower portion is configured to support the second roller,
• wherein the rail forms a rear stop and a front stop and is configured to guide the drawer body along the end cap assembly as the drawer body moves in the depth direction between a fully closed position, in which the front stop engages a portion of the end cap assembly and a fully open position, in which the rear stop engages another portion of the end cap assembly, wherein the front stop is formed by a first protrusion and a second protrusion each extending from the rail in a vertical direction and disposed between a front distal end and a rear distal end of the rail.
