Refrigerator and shelving system for a refrigerator

A refrigerator shelving system comprising:

• a first shelf;
• a second shelf;
• first and second hangers rotatably secured to the first and second shelves such that the second shelf is configured rotate via the first and second hangers between (i) an operational position where the second shelf is spaced-apart from the first shelf and (ii) a stowed position where the second shelf is nested to the first shelf;
• first and second magnets (i) secured to the first shelf and (ii) configured to engage the first and second hangers, respectively, to secure the second shelf in the stowed position;
• and
• first and second biasing elements disposed between the first shelf and the first and second magnets, respectively, wherein the first and second biasing elements are (i) configured to absorb energy in response to engagement between the first and second hangers and the first and second magnets and (ii) adjust an alignment of the first and second magnets in response to variations in positions of the first and second hangers.

A refrigerator shelving system comprising:

• a primary shelf;
• a secondary shelf;
• hangers (i) movably securing the secondary shelf to the primary shelf and (ii) positioning the secondary shelf below the primary shelf;
• and
• nests configured to secure the secondary shelf to the primary shelf in a stowed position, wherein the nests include (i) housings and (ii) magnets vertically slidable within the housings, wherein (a) the magnets are configured to engage the hangers to maintain the secondary shelf in the stowed position and (b) vertical positions of the magnets are variable within the housings to compensate for variations in positions of the hangers.
