The storage system includes a rail attached to a liner panel. The rail includes at least one mounting structure configured to pass through an aperture in the liner panel. A bin has an arm extending from a rear surface of the bin. The bin is placed in a storage position. The arm is placed between the rail and the liner panel when the bin is placed in the storage position. Another example of the storage system and refrigeration appliance includes a foot extending from a rear surface of the bin. Yet another example includes interaction between a bin tab and a plurality of bumps on the rail to prevent side to side motion. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A refrigeration appliance comprising: a compartment within the refrigeration appliance for storing food items in a refrigerated environment; a refrigeration system for providing a cooling effect within the compartment; a door attached to the refrigeration appliance, wherein the door provides access to the compartment, wherein the door comprises a liner panel and a storage system, wherein the storage system comprises: a rail, wherein the rail is attached to the liner panel, the rail including at least one mounting structure that passes through an aperture in the liner panel; and a bin, wherein the bin includes an arm extending from a rear surface of the bin, wherein at least a portion of the arm is placed between the rail and the liner panel when the bin is placed in a storage position. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The refrigeration appliance according to claim 1, wherein the bin includes a width that is less than the full width of the rail such that the bin may be selectively moved from side to side along the rail. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The refrigeration appliance according to claim 1, wherein the rail further includes a substantially horizontal first protrusion on a rear-facing surface of the rail. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The refrigeration appliance according to claim 3, wherein the arm includes a first arm portion and a second arm portion, the second arm portion includes a substantially horizontal second protrusion on a front-facing surface of the second arm portion. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The refrigeration appliance according to claim 4, wherein the first protrusion and the second protrusion are configured to interact such that the first protrusion and the second protrusion create a physical interference when the bin is placed in or removed from the storage position. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The refrigeration appliance according to claim 1, wherein the mounting structure includes a tab that is configured to be foamed into a fixed position behind the liner panel in order to attach the rail to the liner panel. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The refrigeration appliance according to claim 6, wherein the tab includes a tab section that is oriented to at least partially define a space between the tab section and the liner panel. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The refrigeration appliance according to claim 1, wherein the bin includes at least one foot extending from the rear surface of the bin which contacts the liner panel when the bin is placed into the storage position. ### Claim 9 A storage system for storing food items in a temperature-controlled environment, the storage system comprising: a rail, wherein the rail is attached to a liner panel, the rail including at least one mounting structure that passes through an aperture in the liner panel; and a bin, wherein the bin includes an arm extending from a rear surface of the bin, wherein at least a portion of the arm is placed between the rail and the liner panel when the bin is placed in a storage position. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The storage system according to claim 9, wherein the bin includes a width that is less than the full width of the rail such that the bin may be selectively moved from side to side along the rail. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The storage system according to claim 9, wherein the rail further includes a substantially horizontal first protrusion on a rear-facing surface of the rail. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The storage system according to claim 11, wherein the arm includes a first arm portion and a second arm portion, the second arm portion includes a substantially horizontal second protrusion on a front-facing surface of the second arm portion. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The storage system according to claim 12, wherein the first protrusion and the second protrusion are configured to interact such that the first protrusion and the second protrusion create a physical interference when the bin is placed in or removed from the storage position. ### Claim 14 (depends on 9) The storage system according to claim 9, wherein the mounting structure includes a tab that is configured to be foamed into a fixed position behind the liner panel in order to attach the rail to the liner panel. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The storage system according to claim 14, wherein the tab includes a tab section that is oriented to at least partially define a space between the tab section and the liner panel. ### Claim 16 (depends on 9) The storage system according to claim 9, wherein the bin includes at least one foot extending from the rear surface of the bin which contacts the liner panel when the bin is placed into the storage position. ### Claim 17 A storage system for storing food items in a temperature-controlled environment, the storage system comprising: a rail, the rail including a plurality of bumps, wherein the rail is attached to a liner panel, the rail including at least one mounting structure; and a bin, the bin including: an arm extending from a rear surface of the bin, wherein at least a portion of the arm is placed between the rail and the liner panel when the bin is placed in a storage position; at least one bin tab, wherein the bin tab interacts with the bumps of the rail in order to prevent side to side movement of the bin when the bin is placed in the storage position. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The storage system of claim 17, the bin further including at least one foot extending from the rear surface of the bin which contacts the liner panel when the bin is placed into the storage position.
