Claim 10:
11. An appliance comprising:
a cabinet;
a housing enclosed by the cabinet, the housing comprising:
a mating component defining an opening;
a confined component removably connected to the mating component;
a primary beam, the primary beam being elastically movable relative to the mating component; and
a pin attached to the primary beam to move therewith between a flexed position and an original position, the pin extending from a base end proximal to the primary beam and an outer end distal to the primary beam, the pin being selectively received within the opening to constrain the primary beam relative to the mating component,
wherein the primary beam is flexible to allow the pin to move inward in a first direction to the flexed position and return outward in a direction opposite to the first direction to the original position,
wherein the pin is aligned with the opening defined by the mating component to constrain the confined component relative to the mating component,
wherein the housing further comprises a skeletal support frame, the skeletal support frame attached to the primary beam,
wherein the skeletal support frame comprises a plurality of interconnected perimeter beams attached to the primary beam,
wherein the plurality of interconnected perimeter beams are stationary relative to the primary beam between the flexed position and the original position,
wherein the skeletal support frame further comprises a plurality of interior beams, and
wherein the plurality of interior beams form a grid attached and the interconnected perimeter beams to constrain the confined component, the skeletal support frame, and the mating component.
