Estimating the term…
A refrigeration unit with improved storage and accessibility features has a thermally insulated cabinet and door defining a storage space with a plurality of support elements. The support elements include easily removable door shelves and horizontal cabinet shelves that can be removed or repositioned without the door being fully opened due to dished regions adjacent the shelf supports that allow the shelves to be pivoted and removed rather than slid straight out of the cabinet. Indicia on one of the shelves follows the contour of one of the door shelves to indicate approximately the shelf space occupied by an adjacent door shelf and thus where items can be set without interfering with the closure of the door. The refrigeration unit also includes a cam assembly at the lower door hinge which biases the door closed when open approximately 35 degrees or less. The refrigeration unit also includes features for attaching an overlay panel to the door easily.
A refrigeration unit having a cabinet defining a storage cavity open at a front side covered by a door mounted to the front of the cabinet by two hinge assemblies at least one of which includes first and second mounting brackets spaced apart along a pivot axis on each side of a cam assembly including:
A refrigeration unit, comprising a cabinet defining a storage cavity open at a front side covered by a door mounted to the front of the cabinet, wherein the door has an inner surface defining at least one pair of vertically aligned shelf support mounts, wherein the shelf support mounts support at least one door shelf comprising a bottom and a side rail with opposite ends extending generally perpendicular to the door defining a pair of shelf mounts for engaging the shelf support mounts such that the door shelf can be detached from the shelf support by tilting the door shelf with respect to the shelf support and moving the door shelf away from the door.
A refrigeration unit, comprising a cabinet defining a storage cavity with a frontal access opening covered by a hinged door mounted to the face of the cabinet, the cabinet having opposite first and second inner walls defining a pair of vertically aligned rests for a planar shelf sized so that opposite edges contact the rests, wherein the first inner wall defines a concave recess adjacent an upper side of the rest, whereby the shelf can be pivoted upward about the rest of the second wall and dislocated from both rests for removal from the cabinet without the door being swung clear of the access opening.
