Refrigerating appliance

A refrigerating appliance including a body in which a refrigerating compartment is defined and a door connected to said body to open and close said refrigerating compartment, and a height adjustable support assembly connected to said body or said door, said refrigerating appliance further comprising:

• a first and a second rail each including a rack portion attached to said body within said compartment or to said door, wherein said rail extends substantially along a vertical axis;
• wherein said height adjustable support assembly comprises:
• a support member to support items to be refrigerated or to be frozen,
• a first and a second gear rotatably connected to said support member and connected with each other by a shaft so that rotation of any one of the first and second gears implies a rotation also of the other one of the first and second gears, wherein said first and second gears each meshes with a corresponding rack portion on said first and second rails so that said support member can be vertically moved along said rail,
• a single unidirectional stopper unit regulating rotation of said first and second gears meshed with said rack portions, allowing an upward movement of said support member along said vertical axis and blocking downward movements along said vertical axis, and
• a single lever coupled to said unidirectional stopper unit, said lever being apt to disengage said unidirectional stopper unit so as to allow a downward movement of said support member along said vertical axis when operated,
• wherein said lever and said unidirectional stopper unit are two separate pieces, and
• wherein said lever is a class 2 lever.
