Bucket Assembly For A Refrigerator

View page
US Patent:
6908163, Jun 21, 2005
Filed:
Jan 15, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/757506
Inventors:
Bradley Thomas Hebeler - Blue Grass IA, US
Scott W. Leimkuehler - Swisher IA, US
Assignee:
Maytag Corporation - Newton IA
International Classification:
A47B096/00
US Classification:
3124051, 3123215
Abstract:
A bucket assembly for a refrigerator door includes a bucket frame and a bucket. The bucket frame includes a rear portion, opposing side portions and at least two mounting members. The mounting members detachably support the bucket frame on a plurality of support elements from an inner liner of the refrigerator door. The bucket includes a front wall, a back wall, a bottom wall, opposing side walls and a keeper element. The keeper element is provided to support the bucket on the bucket frame or, alternatively, respective ones of the plurality of support members. When supported on the bucket frame, the bucket is pivotable relative to the bucket frame. Therefore, the bucket can be selectively mounted for stationary or tilt-out modes of use depending upon whether or not the bucket frame is interposed between the bucket and the inner liner.

View page
US Patent:
7070249, Jul 4, 2006
Filed:
Dec 29, 2004
Appl. No.:
11/025534
Inventors:
Scott W. Leimkuehler - Swisher IA, US
Roger K. Bush - Aiken SC, US
Michael J. Eveland - Cedar Rapids IA, US
Todd E. Kniffen - Williamsburg IA, US
J. Michael Nurre - Cedar Rapids IA, US
Ravi Kumar Sawhney - Calabasas CA, US
Timothy Mark Nugent - Venice CA, US
John Frank Zinni - Capistrano Beach CA, US
Assignee:
Maytag Corporation - Newton IA
International Classification:
A47B 96/02
US Classification:
3124051
Abstract:
An improved door bucket assembly is provided for a refrigerator or freezer door. The assembly includes a bucket pivotally mounted in a retainer mounted in the door, such that the bucket is movable between an upright position and tilt-out position. The bucket is open at the top such that items stored in the bucket are accessible when the bucket is in both the upright and tilt-out positions. A stop member limits the tilt-out movement of the bucket to 30–45. A clip on the retainer releasably engages a tab on the bucket to prevent accidental tilt-out of the bucket during movement of the door between open and closed positions.

Assignee:
Whirlpool Corporation - Benton Harbor MI
International Classification:
F25D 23/12
US Classification:
62338, 62347
Abstract:
An insulated ice making compartment is provided in the fresh food compartment of a bottom mount refrigerator. The ice making compartment may be integrally formed with the liner of the fresh food compartment, or alternatively, may be modular for installation anywhere in the fresh food compartment. A removable bin assembly with a front cover normally seals the ice making compartment to maintain the temperature in the compartment. A cold air duct formed in the rear wall of the refrigerator supplies cold air from the freezer compartment to the ice making compartment. A return air duct directs a portion of the air from the ice making compartment back to the freezer compartment. An air vent in the ice making compartment directs another portion of air into the fresh food compartment. A control system provides for controlling refrigerator functions in a manner that promotes energy efficiency. The refrigerator has a modular water tank assembly housed in a cavity in the back wall of the cabinet.
