Abstract:
1. A refrigerator comprising: a.) a cooling compartment; b.) a first refrigerated goods carrier movable between an extended disposition in which the first refrigerated goods carrier is extended at least partially out of the cooling compartment and a retracted disposition is more fully disposed in the cooling compartment than in its extended disposition; c.) a pair of telescopic extension mechanisms that support the first refrigerated goods carrier for movement between its extended disposition and its retracted disposition, each of the telescopic extension mechanisms having a side that is adjacent a respective side of the other of the telescopic extension mechanisms and the telescopic extension mechanisms being movable relative to one another during movement of the first refrigerated goods carrier between its extended disposition and its retracted disposition; and d.) at least one adapter disposed adjacent to a side of the telescopic extension mechanisms, the at least one adapter supporting the first refrigerated goods carrier on at least one of the telescopic extension mechanisms and the at least one adapter includes a contact surface of the adapter disposed above the level of the telescopic extension mechanisms, wherein the at least one adapter includes a front latching element and a rear latching element, with the rear latching element operable to be latched with a respective complementary latching element of the first refrigerated goods carrier via a movement essentially in parallel to the direction of extension movement of the first refrigerated goods carrier and the front element operable to be latched with a respective complementary latching element of the first refrigerated goods carrier via a movement essentially perpendicular to the direction of extension movement of the first refrigerated goods carrier.
